Chapter 1844 “Sinner (7)”
“Evidence?” Suddenly, a soft chuckle broke through the air and into everyone’s ear.
Gu Ya hurriedly looked up towards the night and focused on the source.
With her red rosy red dress whistling against the wind, Bai Yan’s smirking grin doesn’t go unnoticed: “My father does indeed do things by the evidence, but too bad…. I never go by the evidence. If I say you did it, then you are guilty! Who dares to tell otherwise?”
Gu Ya popped her eyes out in disbelief. She’s never t such a bold person before, so out of reflex, she turned to Heavenly for help. “Monarch…”
“I have always loved this daughter the most. Whatever she desires is what she will get.” Shrugging his shoulder, Heavenly makes a face of a helpless father that overly dotes on his child. This was a total one-eighty to his usual deanor.
Grinning deviously, Bai Yan slowly encroaches upon Gu Ya like a judge: “Gu Ya, you think you can hide your guilt from because you won’t admit it? I am confident in Song’s honesty and that this child won’t lie… Also, I am a person of my word. So if you tell the truth then I will give you a painless death.”
“You…” Gu Ya choked, seemingly trying to think of a proper way out of this situation.
Sure enough, this woman once again turned towards Heavenly for help. Yet the man didn’t bother to return her pleading gaze like she’s a dead person already.
Stung inside over how little she ant to this man, she closed her eyes and submitted to fate. “Yes, it was my doing.”
Silent tears gradually rolled down those cheeks: “I did it out of fear for the monarch’s safety. I wanted to go look for you in the ruins, but the elders placed under house arrest inside my Gu Manor. That’s why I ca up with the plan of making diversion so I can co out….”
I was rely doing it for his sake, I never intended to make things spiral out of control.
“Monarch, what ca afterward was never my intent. I honestly believed Elder Sky would be able to cope with anything that ca. I never intended for Sixth Elder and Seventh Elder to die….”
Crumbling to the ground as she wept, Gu Ya finally let loose the guilt that’s within herself.
“Sixth Elder and Seventh Elder treated well; how can I ever bear to harm them? I didn’t an for any of this….”
Third Elder Yu exploded at that last comnt: “Not intentional? Do you think a single word like not intentional can erase your cri? Do you know what you’ve done? The damage you’ve done? Your selfishness killed them and everyone today!”
Elder Butterfly didn’t yell like her peer but pursed her lips in anger as well.
Since her return, she’s seen the corpses of her fellow peers on the ground after their demise. They may not be the closest of the bunch, but they’ve worked together for many years, there’s no way her mood wouldn’t be affected. This was especially true when the reasoning behind their death ca under the reason of a selfish woman only out to think for herself.
“Gu Ya, I originally thought you were a girl with a conscience, but an animal had apparently devoured your consciousness. Your actions are an utter betrayal to the Monarch Manor! I can’t wait to break your body to avenge Sixth and Seventh Elder!”
“Kill this woman and avenge the two deceased elders! And this ti, if not the monarch’s return in the nick of ti, our entire force would’ve been decimated! Miss Ji Song would’ve also lost her life! All this is because of Gu Ya’s betray. I request she be hanged for her cris!” Several of the defenders cried in outrage.
