Regina Lena – To the Unforgiven - Chapter 27
Arrows poured down like rain from the red sky.
Lena’s first feeling when she saw it was an embarrassment.
‘Suddenly like this?’
Indeed, her father had the best determination in the world. Lena looked at the flying arrow, admiring her father’s consistent attitude.2
‘It’s hard.’
Lena’s short black dagger was not suitable for hitting. There was no immediate cover around her to escape.
So Lena shouted out loud.
“Come here!”
As Lena shouted, the nearby dead seized and attacked. Lena, who had deliberately attracted the dead, flew herself under them. Then, the arrows pierced the dead instead of Lena.
Lena thought of the dead as a shield.
‘Do you want to see the end here?’
Lena confirmed her father’s intention and bit her lips. Then she forced her lips up and laughed.
‘If you do, I’ll hang out with you.’
🍃🍃🍃
Marquis Rubel frowned as Lena was hiding among the dead.
‘To make the dead as a shield.’
It’s a surprisingly extraordinary act. It was also possible because she knew clearly about those who swallowed the first cry.
‘The Southern Duke’s agent and a vanguard.’
A close connection with the Duke of the South and the skill to use those who swallowed the first cry.
Through these two things, the Marquis came to a conclusion. With a close guess, Lena was a veteran of the Silent War.
‘I was wondering where and what you’ve been doing…’
The Marquis’ daughter’s history, which he finally learned, was pitiful and bitter. He couldn’t believe she was trying to eat her father just because she rolled a little bit on the battlefield.12
‘I must see the end.’
The Marquis didn’t let go of the tension and found Lena. However, it was not easy to find the daughter among the dead and the pouring arrows.
Furthermore, the moment he thought he had cleared the dead, the castle spewed out the dead once more.
“My Lord, more deads are coming!”
The Lieutenant cried out to the Marquis, who was busy searching for Lena. More and more dead were climbing the valley. It was a momentum that couldn’t be stopped by arrows alone. So the Marquis ordered the knights to advance.
As Ruvid’s attack scratched the ground, the knights struck through and entangled the dead.
A fierce battle began, but the Marquis still only sought Lena.
‘Where is she?’
The moment when the Southern agent was isolated alone in the tomb wouldn’t come again. So now was the only chance for the Marquis.
‘Where, damn it…’
A blue light shone in the sight of the Marquis, who was looking around. Blue was the symbol of the South. It was Lena in the southern uniform.
Lena was in a hurry to escape from the valley filled with the dead. It looked like she was injured by holding one arm and staggering.
The Marquis looked at the poor back for a moment and then muttered without realizing it.
“Take the lead for a while.”
“What do you mean?”
The Marquis who found Lena handed over the command to the Lieutenant. The Lieutenant asked back in disarray, but the Marquis didn’t retract his remarks.
“Follow my order.”
Instead, he turned away with a handful of knights. It was impossible for a commander to leave his seat.
The Marquis was a person who thought that way, so if necessary, he was going to leave the work to the knights. But when he saw Lena’s staggering back, he changed his mind.
Instead of sending someone, he thought he should end it himself.
It had already been twice that he had misled his work by entrusting it to others. The first was Klavis, then the butler.
Because of their fragility, Lena was still alive and suffered such pain and humiliation.
He was heartbroken at the sight of his daughter struggling. So, putting everything aside, he chased after his daughter to see the end with his own hands.2
🍃🍃🍃
When the battle in the valley became fierce, Lena moved to the castle, avoiding the fight.
At that time, Lena’s uniform was tattered and torn. Anyone could tell from the mere sight of the uniform that it was in bad shape.
In the meantime, Lena, who met the Marquis, looked at her father with a puzzled expression.
“You are injured.”
“…It’s not a big injury.”
When asked by the Marquis, Lena replied. It was a voice full of vigilance.
Lena was on the wall of the King’s castle, which swallowed the first cry. She climbed here to get out of the battlefield, and the Marquis chased her and ran up the ridge with the knights of the North.
Then, she turned and silently looked at her opponent.
“You’re shabby compared to your big talk.”
The first person to open his mouth was the Marquis.
As it was said, Lena’s condition was shabby enough that she seemed impractical.
She said she gave him the opportunity to be forgiven, she made a ruckus saying she would stand in the vanguard alone, and eventually she looked like this. Maybe it was a trap.
When the Marquis looked at his daughter with a stiff face, Lena whispered, holding her right shoulder.
“Are you going to kill me?”
“No.”
“Then…”
“It’s the dead who killed you.”
The Marquis affirmed that and glanced at the knights.
The knights who were more loyal to the Rubel family than to Duke of the North, even to the Empress, got off the horse silently. Then they pulled out their swords and slowly surrounded Lena.
As the knights narrowed her space, Lena lifted her dagger. But she only held it with her left hand, and her right hand didn’t hold it.
Judging from her grip on her shoulder earlier, she seemed to have hurt her arm while tangling with the dead. The Marquis looked at the figure and silently smirked.
“Go easy.”
Shortly after, the knights rushed.
One-to-many, dagger and long swords. Moreover, Lena was injured. The result was self-evident just by looking at this. However, Lena did quite well and destroyed the assumption.
Lena managed to slip the sword of the knight and put her back to the wall of the castle, then she called the Marquis.
“Father.”
The knights’ swords paused in the word of ‘Father’. But that was not what the Marquis wanted.
He was about to command the knights again when Lena asked first, “Won’t you regret it?”
“Regret?”
“Do you really think it won’t matter if I die right in front of you?”
When asked a fleeting question, the Marquis narrowed his eyes. He was confused about whether she was just bluffing or hiding something.
Then, he responded unsurely because of Lena’s unpretentious attitude.
“You brought it all on yourself.”
“What did I do wrong?”
“If you wanted to live, you shouldn’t have noticed me.”
“You’re wrong, father. I just don’t want to live.”
Lena shook her head. Then, she whispered to her cold-faced father, “I want to exist. In the name of Lena Rubel you gave me.”
Lena’s bold voice convinced the Marquis.
She was dangerous. Even without being as the evidence of treason, that strange obsession was dangerous enough. And he was well aware of what would happen to someone with such an obsession.
“Finish it.”
Marquis Rubel urged the knights with the feeling of cutting buds. Lena smiled sadly at the determined Marquis.
Then, she suddenly shouted.
“Come here!”
Lena’s cry was magnitude as the nearby dead screamed.
However, the knights were not panicked. This was the same technique that Lena used when she avoided the arrows. There was no reason to be surprised again.
The knights rushed straight with the idea of attacking Lena first. Then a sad smile spread around Lena’s mouth. It’s unfortunate for the Marquis, but what Lena called wasn’t just the dead.
Did Prince Ruvid know that the Marquis had left the camp?
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t know if the Marquis was in this remote area.
And on the other side, as the knights and dead fought, the number of attacks was significantly reduced.
So what would Prince Ruvid do in this kind of situation?
‘Hit the dead farther away.’
It’s not difficult to predict, and it really happened. In the wake of the flocking dead, Ruvid’s attack flew in.
Ping!
With a sharp wave that cut through the air, the dead who were rushing toward Lena broke in half. And the wall where Lena and the Marquis were standing was also split and slanted out of thin air.
“Eugh!”
As soon as the Marquis’ feet were off, soil came in. The knights had swept away in an instant and the Marquis managed to pull the reins on the horse.
But it was useless.
The horse fell and bounced off the Marquis. In front of him, who fell off the saddle, there was dark air. The next thing was the fall, and the Marquis sensed his death.
‘Why…’
Gravity, like despair, pulled him. Then, he felt his gut leaned upward. The only thing left was the fall.
However, the moment the Marquis was just about to fall, his body shook and stopped in the air. And he felt severe pain in his shoulder and waist.
“Sorry, you failed again…”
Without the help of the Marquis to check the situation, a voice could be heard from above his head.
“…to kill me, to be forgiven.”
The Marquis raised his head. The first thing he saw was a hand holding his wrist. Then, there was Lena’s smiling face, and Lena’s other hand was hanging on the wall.
Lena was holding on to the Marquis in a difficult situation where it was difficult enough to take care of her body.
He looked at Lena’s smiley face and muttered without much surprise.
“I thought you hurt your arm.”
“I’ve played some pranks.”
“…. Since when?”
“Maybe from the beginning?” Lena’s voice was so relaxed.
As soon as her father saw her, she pretended to be injured for a moment while avoiding his arrows. Because it would be difficult to meet him like this.
Lena’s prediction was correct. She was sad to see it.
“You’re not angry, right? Of course not.”
Lena smiled and asked as the Marquis looked at her silently. Then, she added as if she were relieved.
“I’m not angry either. I was the one who said I’d give you a chance in the first place,” said Lena and pulled the Marquis.
Using recoil, she lifted her father up, and then she climbed the wall in a smooth movement.
Lena stood as perfectly as a lie, and said to the Marquis, who hadn’t yet woken up, “And until the tomb conquest is over, I won’t hurt father.”
Lena wouldn’t hurt the Marquis, she’s going to put a bow and enclose it with a knife, but she would just leave it there. Rather than being generous, it was a terrible act.
Lena’s mercy had no words of compassion. She was just as insatiable as the Chief Justice who was waiting for the time and counting his sins.
He stared at Lena, who was smiling nonchalantly.
The situation was reversed, but his face was only a little pale and still calm.
‘I see, you are….’
In fact, the suspicion that remained on the other side of his heart was resolved, and it was rather regrettable.
A young daughter returned from a timeless hell.
A child who endured in the battlefield with no ointment, and was chosen by The Duke of the South.
Lena Rubel, who always came back to life every time she deserved to die, now tested her father to kill her.
The Marquis wanted to kill Lena and wondered how she had come here. What she believed in and why she was so excited.
Marquis Rubel finally realized the reality of what he was curious about. It was what Klavis had said.
‘She has become a monster.’
Lena Rubel came back as a monster. A monster that was so vicious to play with her father in her palm.
“What are you going to do now?”
Said the monster.
“Are you going to kill me again?”
