Evade The Hero and Flee!

Chapter 268

30. It’s best to start by drawing bigger picture (1)

When I was working at the Imperial Palace, I would often visit the Imperial Library during my breaks. There was a book there that described execution grounds.

It had content like this:

<Being an executioner is one of the things humans cannot do. No matter how heinous the crimes those criminals committed, watching their deaths before your eyes can be mentally devastating. Just looking at executioners who have become desensitized to others’ deaths after working at the execution grounds for a long time…>

The reason that content suddenly came to mind is because,

“It’s done.”

Shuttle’s expressionless face as he confirmed the hero’s perfect collapse reminded me of the descriptions of executioners who worked at the grounds for over 10 years in that book.

“Is that so?”

But so what? He would have to follow me anyway until the Demon King is defeated.
