Chapter 217: The Golden Rule (1)
I had to ask, “Why did you make these kinds of people your lovers?”
Amethyst would one day build the Tower and gather all the abandoned people from across the universe. The children sacrificed by religious fanaticism, the warriors who died in an unreasonable disaster, the woman whose life was incarcerated in an undefeatable phenomenon... She was going to bring these abandoned, ruined lives to the Tower and offer them a new world.
She built the Tower for all the victims in the universe.
So then, why did she have killers as her lovers? I looked at Viscountess Amethyst, who smiled at me.
“What do you mean by ‘these kinds of people?’” Amethyst asked.
“These women have committed grave crimes. One whipped a child to death, another ate people, and one of them started a war that killed countless civilians. Why do you love them? Why do you let them keep their nobility? You will eventually build that Tower. You’re so close to being omnipotent, so why not punish them?”
“You’re a very kind person.”
“What?”
“Those who climb the Tower with you will be very happy.”
I tilted my head in confusion, but she didn’t elaborate further. Instead, she sat down in a chair and looked straight ahead. I followed her gaze and continued to watch as the fight escalated.
“Recommending someone who isn’t even twenty years old to dukedom is a joke!”
