Chapter 134.1
Castle Where Darkness Dwells (3)
“What the heck do you think you are doing, I ask you! You invited us to this country. Why are you betraying us?”
Gostola, whose comrades were killed, shouted at Carla’s dialogue, which sounded as if it were a joke.
“Hmmm…. [betrayal] is such an interesting word. I…no, I think we were both just using each other. Am I wrong? Right, Gostola?”
Carla invited them, the Evil Race, into her country before she was barely 10 years old.
After the experiment of giving her all the attributes, Carla was no longer of any use as the daughter of a nobleman, and her father, the Head Court Magician, who had lost interest in her, gave her only money and left her alone.
Carla had nothing, only “madness” beyond hatred for her father, who had taken her life, and for the country that condoned it.
Carla used her father’s money and a merchant family with a bad reputation to give the Evil Race a foothold in the country, and the Evil Race accepted it, believing not in Carla’s words but in her “madness”.
“Are you saying that your grudge is gone?”
“No, that’s not it. But I don’t like the idea of others using toys I’ve thrown away without my permission, even if I don’t need them anymore.”
“Toys…?”
Even as Gostola, his face twisted like a beast’s, bared his fangs, and the hatred of the surrounding vampires turned even the flames black, Carla’s smile remained the same.
