Hannah waited anxiously.
She had deceived the guards through her identity as the eldest daughter and quietly left the manor. After night fell, she arrived at her old place with Knight Glenn.
The eldest daughter of the Goode family waited anxiously for Glenn, her mood was expectant and vexed.
She felt that Glenn was probably here to take her away. Many things must have happened in the pursuit that night, causing that proud knight, Glenn, to recognize the clown’s true colors. Therefore, he did not dare to return to the Glory Sand Manor or continue to go against this clown. However, he still loved her, so he wanted to take her away…
Yes, leave, leave together, leave Glory Sand, and hide. As long as they hid far away, that clown would definitely not find them… It must be like this.
When she thought of this, she was both happy and excited.
She could finally get away from that clown.
She had to escape that ugly nightmare and that terrifying demon. She did not have to live in fear.
However, this excitent and joy did not last long.
She waited there, enjoying the cold night wind. After her initial joy, she curled up and looked at the brightly lit manor in the distance. An inexplicable feeling surged in her heart.
Escaping from Glory Sand ant that she had bid farewell to the life of a rich young lady. How long could she spend with only so jewelry and gold coins? If she wanted to maintain her previous standard of living, how could she find a new source of inco? She would probably have to rely on Glenn and let him be the knight of another noble to support her…
—Or, I can find a rich and charming noble and…
At the thought of putting down her pride and currying favor in the future, Hannah felt a little unhappy and conflicted. She did not have to do this at ho. She did not have to please anyone or do anything. She was the noble and revered eldest daughter of the Glory Sand. The servants respected her, the knights curried favor with her, and the lowly commoners of the territory treated her as an untouchable goddess. However, now, she was about to lose all of this.
It was all that detestable clown’s fault!
It was also her useless father’s fault!
At this mont, a thought suddenly appeared in her mind.
What if her father could really kill that Cathayan?
—If that’s the case, does that an I don’t have to run away from ho…
He and Mage Richard were guarding here, and her brother would return soon. There were even more rcenaries and even the help sent by the Eldest Prince. Could these people kill that Cathayan?
It should be possible!
Her father was also confident!
So, was she too frightened by him?
The manor was clearly so tightly guarded, and the clown clearly did not dare to co over. Why did she run out? Perhaps the clown would run away when he saw that he had no way to deal with the situation?
As the cold wind blew, Hannah’s previously chaotic thoughts gradually beca clear.
She slowly understood her situation.
Cold sweat flowed down.
—Why… did I run out?
The manor was clearly the safest place… Why did she escape?
She looked at the rose in her hand. The petals were so gorgeous, and the stem was so charming. It was as if her mind had been a little confused when she took this rose out of the wine cabinet. She thought of Knight Glenn’s usual attentiveness and care for her, his sweet words, and his deep love. She was touched by the other party’s sincerity and sacrifice and decided to elope with him and leave with him…
—Why would I think that?
She hurriedly threw this rose to the ground.
Hannah decided to go ho imdiately.
—Let Glenn die. I don’t want to leave with that stupid knight who only knows how to please ! I don’t want to live an undignified life! I want to go ho! Ho is the safest!
She turned around and wanted to run back.
However, in the next mont, the world instantly lit up.
In the direction of the distant manor, a brilliant light rose like a volcano erupting. Countless burning torrents soared into the sky and spread wildly in all directions.
A terrifying air wave whistled over like an avalanche.
The ground shook, the world roared, the sky burned, and the torrent of doomsday ravaged the entire Glory Sand.
She fell to the ground in fear. Fortunately, there was a huge rock covering this place, so she was not blown away. Hannah stared at this scene in shock and her mind went blank as she heard the earth-shattering bang.
She had once heard her brother, who had seen a lot in the capital, describe his true strength to her.
Mages were spellcasters who controlled the elents, affected nature, and changed the world. They were not the low-level mages she had seen who only knew how to release fireballs and ice cones, but true spellcasters. Their spells could tear the sky apart, shake the ground, roll up surging waves on the sea, summon super hurricanes on land, and destroy a city with a flood of flas.
She had once thought that her brother had exaggerated the strength of those mages.
But now she saw it.
This terrifying commotion and gorgeous flas were like a teorite that had destroyed everything that his brother had ntioned.
She fell to the ground weakly.
In front of this vast and terrifying power, humans would even lose the right to think.
She did not think about anything. She could not think of anything.
Her mind was blank and she even forgot to get up.
She only watched all this happen.
After a long ti, she heard footsteps.
Was… was it Glenn?
This figure made her eyes light up.
She turned.
Then, it was enveloped by endless fear.
“Ah, Miss Hannah, what a coincidence. Are you watching the fireworks too?”
The voice of the person who spoke was polite and filled with surprise and joy.
However, Hannah’s body trembled uncontrollably.
The clown walked towards her.
Behind him was the burning light and flas in the distance, like the setting of a stage.
Hannah knew that all of this was probably caused by the Cathayan in front of her.
Why?
Why?
He was clearly a clown, a Cathayan who did not know martial arts, and a commoner who did not have any knowledge, cultivation, or etiquette.
How did he do it?
The violent shock and fear gripped Hannah’s throat.
On the ground, she wanted to retreat, crawl, and escape from this terrifying clown. However, she could not move. There was poison in her arms, but she could not move a finger.
“Ah, Miss Hannah, it seems that the person you’re waiting for is not .”
Kang De said, “So, are you waiting for Glenn?”
Glenn.
Yes, Glenn.
Strong hope flashed through Hannah’s eyes.
—Glenn, where are you? Where are you?
She had never missed Knight Glenn so much, yearned for him, and looked forward to him.
Knight Glenn had asked her here. He wanted to protect her. He wanted to take her away.
If Knight Glenn appeared now and fought off the Cathayan to protect her, then Hannah swore that she would marry Glenn and love him with all her heart.
She looked left and right, expecting that figure.
“Knight Glenn won’t co.”
Kang De smiled.
He blinked and revealed a sly smile. “I secretly placed that rose inside when I went to your house. The place you dated him, the secret code and even the ti were all told to by Knight Glenn. He wanted to exchange it for a chance to live. I promised him, so he won’t co. Knight Glenn has already run far away, dear noble lady.”
Hannah’s expression froze.
She felt a ball of fire explode in her mind.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointnt. Her only hope shattered, and the disappointnt instantly turned into incomparable hatred. She scread and let out a vicious curse that did not match her noble and beautiful appearance.
“Gl—en—n—”
She hissed, howled, cursed, and hated.
Kang De quietly watched her performance, or rather, admired all of it.
It felt good.
It felt too good.
—I just want to see this.
He also hoped that Glenn could see this scene.
He wanted to see this simp taking all the bla after death.
Hannah cursed and cursed intensely until her anger subsided.
Only then did she realize her current situation.
Panting, she looked at Kang De.
Kang De looked at him with a very calm expression.
Hannah’s expression changed from hatred to fear, from fear to flattery, from flattery to desperation.
“Mr… Mr. Kang De…”
She revealed a pitiful expression and even inadvertently twisted her body to reveal her figure. She begged, “I’m sorry, I was wrong. I’m willing to admit my mistake and make up for it. I’m willing to be your slave. As long as you don’t kill , you can punish in any way you like…”
A mocking smile appeared on Kang De’s lips.
Looking at this smile, the fear in Hannah’s heart intensified. She begged loudly, “Don’t kill ! Don’t kill ! I’m still useful! I know a lot! Right! Right! My brother hasn’t returned yet! I can help you deal with him! As long as you don’t hurt , I’m willing to do anything!”
Kang De nodded when he heard this, “Little cutie, you’re really smart. I indeed have to prepare a grand welco ceremony for your brother. I need your help…”
Endless joy flashed through Hannah’s eyes.
Extre fear and desire for life were enough for her to pay any price.
What was kinship?
She said repeatedly, “No problem! No problem! I’ll do whatever you want to do! Be it poisoning or ambushing him, I’ll definitely do it, as long as you give a chance! As long as you give a chance!”
“Shh…”
Kang De put his finger to his mouth. “Don’t be afraid, don’t be anxious…”
These familiar words again.
He had already said it twice.
She was spared every ti.
This ti, it was the sa.
It was fine even if she could only live for the ti being.
Hannah closed her mouth, her face shining with surprise.
Kang De spread out his hands and retreated with his right foot. Amidst endless flas, he bowed deeply to Miss Goode in front of him, like a clown thanking his audience on the stage.
Maintaining his bow, Kang De looked up and smiled gently at Hannah.
He said.
“It’s your turn now…”
Hannah’s expression changed from surprise to dullness, from dullness to horror, from horror to despair.
She could not help but let out a… sorrowful cry filled with endless despair.
