Chapter 220.4
Carla healed the wound on her white leg that peeked out from her slashed skirt with magic and licked off her own blood on her fingertips with her tongue.
“You do some pretty inhuman things, don’t you?”
As far as Carla knows, only that “girl” can do such a thing. She is a human being, and there is nothing that Ervan, who is also a human being, can’t do.
However, to acquire in just a few months the strength that the girl had acquired by risking her life against a powerful enemy was truly “inhuman.
Meanwhile, people began to appear from the surrounding noble families, noticing the sounds of battle and the burning flames, and Ervan, noticing this, raised his voice.
“Everyone! I am Ervan! I will take down Countess Lester, the devil’s pawn. The righteous take-up the sword!”
Perhaps his name had an effect, for within seconds, private armies of nobles sprang up from the surrounding mansions.
Some joined the battle purely out of a sense of righteousness at the Crown Prince’s call. Others were forced to send out their troops in the name of other families. There were many reasons, such as those who were motivated by calculation to ingratiate themselves with the Crown Prince, but as a result, nearly 50 soldiers and magicians who believed in “his” words embarked on a mission to defeat Carla.
Carla, as an aristocrat living in the kingdom, must have wanted to avoid becoming a criminal to be targeted for defeat. If Carla had not been so calculating despite her madness, she would not have existed in the world.
But all that was on Carla’s face was the same cold, contemptuous smile that had been on her face since the beginning.
