Chapter 435: Pride of Existence (7)
“…….”
It’s rare for silence to follow laughter.
Barbatos smiled so confidently after revealing her crime that, for a moment, people probably couldn’t even comprehend what she had said. She grinned mischievously, like a playful child.
“On another note, I must admit, I’m feeling a bit disappointed. Sure, I may have killed Paimon, but isn’t this a bit much? You demonfolk still have no sense of loyalty. It almost makes my dedication and efforts seem completely meaningless.”
Barbatos let out a sigh as she shook her head.
“I know working for the sake of the people is always a futile venture, but this disappointment is on a whole new level. Hah, you guys are all pigs sticking your noses in the muck, savoring it as if it’s some kind of fragrance. When will you ever gain a proper sense of smell?”
Once again, trash was thrown from the crowd. Most of it missed horribly, landing at Barbatos’ feet or flying off in completely the wrong direction. Barbatos didn’t even flinch as she continued to stare straight ahead without a care.
“I assassinated Paimon. Yeah, that’s the truth. But it seems like you’re all misunderstanding something……. Even if I must be punished, I won’t let pieces of trash like you be the ones to do it. Why? Because you don’t have the right to judge me. None whatsoever!”
Barbatos raised her chin and slowly turned her gaze from right to left.
