...
Soon, Cindy found an opportunity to retaliate.
Seizing the moment of Elsa's mistake, he swung his great sword, striking her incredibly hard armor.
Caught off guard, Elsa had no choice but to endure this heavy blow.
The massive impact sent tremors through her entire body.
Her internal organs quivered incessantly, a wave of dizziness and nausea suddenly surging from the depths of her heart.
But...
That was all.
Despite the ferocious attack,
She suffered no substantial damage to her body.
The armor bore only a white mark.
And Cindy's great sword, upon contact with the armor, shattered like an egg against stone.
It splintered completely, scattering across the ground.
Cindy stared blankly at the broken blade in his hand.
Elsa, too, halted her attack, looking in disbelief at Cindy's shattered weapon.
At this moment, Cindy lost his last means of defense.
Elsa's hand, still gripping the blade, began to tremble.
If Cindy still had a weapon,
Then Cindy, who knew her so well, would certainly be able to parry all her attacks.
Even if she went all out.
But Elsa had underestimated her own strength.
Or rather, she had underestimated the astonishing power this equipment bestowed upon her.
And as a warrior who had lost his weapon,
Cindy was now like a defenseless toy.
Elsa's hand, clutching the blade, hesitated, unable to strike.
But...
A penetrating gaze seemed to fall upon her.
Waves of coldness crept up her spine.
Elsa suddenly felt a violent tremor in her heart.
She couldn't resist Viktor.
That feeling was as if it were commanding her, seeing through her very soul and heart.
Suddenly, a horrifying thought arose in her mind.
'Kill Cindy.'
Kill... him?
In an instant, this single thought consumed Elsa's mind.
This idea rapidly occupied her entire consciousness. She could no longer control her hand, couldn't stop the chaotic rationality in her mind, couldn't resist the incessant voices in her head.
Squelch—
The blade pierced through Cindy's chest.
As the blade went through, Elsa's eyes widened in horror.
Cindy, too, stared in disbelief at his pierced chest.
Elsa, gripping the sword hilt, had driven the blade deep into his chest cavity.
The blood, scorched by the flames, couldn't even flow before being completely dried up.
Without realizing it, even Elsa herself didn't notice.
In an unconscious state.
She had killed Cindy.
'Well done.'
The cold voice in her mind calmly sounded.
Instantly, Elsa felt her whole body go limp, seeing the horrifying wound on Cindy's chest, feeling utterly desperate.
She helplessly looked around, watching Cindy's life rapidly fading away.
Cindy opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something.
But, the next second...
Crack—
A shattering sound rang in her ears, the surrounding space fracturing like layers of breaking mirrors.
The space cracked layer by layer, gradually returning to reality.
Elsa looked around in despair.
All around were cold stone walls, adorned with many black, rusty iron locks and shackles.
And Cindy's limbs were completely restrained, firmly locked to a wooden stake.
Suddenly, Elsa looked at her own trembling palm.
Her hand was still firmly gripping that blade.
The sword blade had long since pierced through Cindy's chest.
Finally, she could only see Cindy's widened eyes, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
He couldn't even speak, tilting his neck, taking his last breath.
Elsa let go of the blade, her spirit seemingly shattered.
At this moment, she fully realized.
From beginning to end, this had all been just an illusion.
There was never any battle with Cindy; from the start, she had come to this secret room.
Cindy, unable to resist, had been imprisoned on that wooden stake all along.
Allowing her to launch an attack on him.
Everything was just her imagination within the illusion.
Until the end, when she personally drove the sword through Cindy's chest.
At that time, even an unarmed Cindy could have dodged that attack.
Unless.
He had been imprisoned here all along.
Yes, it was she who had personally killed him.
At this moment, Elsa's spirit completely collapsed.
She fell to her knees, wailing in grief.
The blade still protruded from Cindy's chest, blood gushing forth.
Elsa clutched her hair tightly, in complete disarray.
Throughout the entire interrogation room, only her shrill cries of anguish kept echoing...
...
In the warm study, sunlight streamed through the window, falling on the red wool carpet.
"Tell Lia to notify Helnersen," Viktor said.
"Have him select a batch of capable demi-humans and send them to the royal capital."
Vanilla stood before Viktor, giving a slight bow.
Then, with a slightly flushed face, she slowly retreated.
Watching Vanilla's petite figure as she left, Viktor couldn't help but feel puzzled.
How strange, the little cat girl's demeanor seemed off somehow.
But he didn't dwell on it, sitting at the desk and examining the two documents in his hand.
These were the investigation results sent by Lia.
Two information files, each bearing a name.
Cindy and Elsa.
Viktor skimmed through them, gaining some insight into these two individuals.
Cindy and Elsa were both adventurers.
In the southern adventurers' capital, they once belonged to the same team.
During their time as adventurers, Cindy gradually developed feelings for Elsa.
At that time, Elsa, citing the need to improve her strength, rejected Cindy.
She became fourth-tier first and was noticed by the Reiser family, recruited into their team, and finally became Lady Cassandra's personal guard.
The Reiser family, recognizing the relationship between Cindy and Elsa, used Elsa as leverage and a weapon as incentive to also bring Cindy into the family.
However, Cindy and Elsa were assigned to different departments. Cindy was mainly responsible for capturing demi-humans for the Reiser family.
Interestingly,
Before this mission to capture demi-humans and bring the elf Lexi back to the family, Cindy had proposed to Elsa.
He told her, if this mission went smoothly, they should get married.
As comrades who knew each other well,
This time, Elsa agreed.
But what no one could have imagined was that...
"In the end, Elsa killed Cindy with her own hands."
Two flames climbed up the documents, easily reducing the two people's files to ashes.
"I suppose this news spreading to the south will cause quite a stir."
Both Cindy and Elsa were renowned legendary adventurers in the south.
Their deeds were greatly admired by many adventurers.
After all, being noticed and joining the Reiser family was a great honor for those southern adventurers.
It was like everyone living as freelancers, experiencing feast or famine daily.
Suddenly, someone found a job that could provide for them for life.
Naturally, others would be envious.
Imagine if the news of Elsa personally killing her fiancé Cindy spread to the south.
Perhaps Elsa would earn a new title.
"'Black Widow'? Or maybe 'Mantis Killer' would be more fitting."
Vega glanced at Viktor.
"No one can be more insidious and cruel than you, Viktor."
He had never intended to let Cindy live.
But he had given that poor woman a faint glimmer of hope.
In the end, it was by her own hand that this hope was shattered.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm merely vindictive," Viktor said calmly.
"Besides, a mentally broken woman is easier to control compared to one filled with hatred."
Viktor explained dispassionately, not bothering to address the sarcasm in Vega's words.
As his voice faded, a knock sounded at the door.
"Enter," Viktor called.
Viktor looked up to see the succubus lady, wearing a loose robe and looking timid, walk in.
She first turned around, carefully closing the door.
As if steeling herself, she took a deep breath.
Then, Henie raised her head, looking at Viktor with a flushed face.
As if encouraging herself, she shouted loudly:
"Professor! Please brace yourself mentally!"
"I'm going to start taking off my clothes!"
Viktor: "?"
