Chapter 108 - 96 Throwing Magic’s Enforced Memory and the Story of a Heartless Person_3
The woman in the gray cloak loosened up, her face tinged with sarcasm. "Nipping people like you in the bud, it makes me feel like I have a purpose in life."

"I’ll have you know, my upbringing was quite unlike those lowly folks, I was once a pampered rich girl."
"I hail from what is now known as the model Republic — Florcana. Eighty years ago, during a war with Xicanan City Republic and Epirus City Republic, the Florcana Republic was on the verge of defeat, that was until my father — little Alexei, stepped up. He led Florcana to victory not once but twice, cementing Florcana’s position as the major Republic in the peninsular."
"My father, by rights, should have been bestowed the highest honors, hailed a hero of the Republic, but he was betrayed by the very Republic."
"The reason was simple. During the war, in his haste to march, attack the main cities of the Epirus City Republic, he didn’t collect bodies from the battlefield, didn’t give the fallen Republic soldiers a proper burial."
"Subsequently, under the pretext of this misdemeanor, the guild masters of Florcana arrested my father, threw him into jail, and hung him."

"They seized all of our lands, chased me out of our home, watched indifferently as I begged like the lowest beggar on the streets of Florcana, even resorting to selling my body."
"They even laughed secretly at my plight, and to survive, I started finding ways to get by."
"I did everything, practically experienced every hustle life on the streets had to offer, although it was tough then, I ultimately managed to survive."
