Chapter 212: What the Goddess Has (2)
Amethyst raced across the rotten, crumbling kingdom.
“Go as wild as you want.”
She had won the favor of the Unconditioned Duchess, one of the six duchesses in the kingdom. Under the protection of someone in power, nothing held back Amethyst from pointing her sword at the world anymore.
Act 1: Witch Hunt.
The first main villain was the Noir Witch, leading the rebel organization of demi-humans known as the Red Fingernails. She was a human witch who reigned supreme in the Magic Tower. Why did the elite witch, who wasn’t even a demi-human, suddenly become an extreme terrorist? People had no clue.
The Noir Witch sneered. “It’s not that they don’t know. They just don’t want to. If you live as long as me, you get to see many things. You people put a demi-human child in a rice bag and kicked him until he died. Hundreds of thousands of demi-humans are enslaved. I don’t expect you to reform now. It’s more unrealistic to pray for a miracle among humans than from the gods. We just... want you to suffer.”
The Red Fingernails’ rebellion shook the entire kingdom. Noble ladies of the capital were kidnapped and tortured. A great noble who had reigned absolute in the south for seven hundred years was attacked and killed on tour. In the southeast, members of the royal family’s special task force went missing. Thousands of slaves escaped from a county and joined the rebels.
The Red Fingernails tortured and butchered humans regardless of social status. A bounty was placed on the Noir Witch’s head, but no one could catch her. Those in power were terrified.
Amethyst smiled brightly. “Interesting. Let me make this a little more fun.”
Amethyst used the Unconditioned Duchess to meet the Executioner Princess. She was the head of the royal special task force and an Ascendant known for her cruelty. Her hobby was to cut off and collect criminals’ right arms.
Amethyst seduced the crown princess. “I’ll bring you victory, Your Highness. I know that the Red Fingernails have been giving you a headache.”
