29 – Secret – 2
Kartina entered the basement, trying hard to ignore Serena’s terrifying eyes, standing by the steel door.
Originally, it was a place where the corpses of monsters were temporarily stored before being moved to other distant places, so even though the inside was empty, the terrible smell was vaguely felt.
And he hesitated. Is it empty inside? Even when he looked around, turning his head left and right, only the lattice walls and partitions used to store the corpses of monsters were left alone.
As Serena closed the door, the heavy metal sound seemed to thump her heart down.
“I, the 1st Knight Commander.”
“What.”
Serena’s voice was calm as usual, but to Kartina it sounded more terrifying. It felt like the scene that seemed to split the world in half was unfolding behind me again.
Kartina continued, trying to clear her trembling throat.
“Well, there seems to be nothing here.”
“Why?”
I will, why? Kartina wanted to cry.
If you ask her like that, she has no answer. After fainting for a full day, when I opened my eyes, the city was devastated.
How could he know why this place was empty?
“I-I’m fine…”
In the end, Cartina came up with a poor excuse.
No, I was going to give it up.

Just as he was about to say I don’t know, a creepy sense of intimidation filled the basement. It was so overwhelming that it took my breath away.
The words that could not come out of my mouth were scattered in my throat, and my limbs trembled like a patient with severe tremor.
He couldn’t be so resentful of his past self, who lightly accepted Serena’s offer to follow him.
I should have declined then. Even if it was rude, I should have somehow turned down the offer and made Elliot follow me. Regrets came flooding in.
Tears welled up in his two terrified eyes. The tears welling up in her eyes were dangerous as if they would spill out if she touched them.
I really don’t know. I wanted to complain somehow, but my mouth couldn’t move. The sound of footsteps moved toward Kartina, who was oppressed by the feeling of intimidation.
Brilliant golden hair, tied in a ponytail, passed Kartina’s side and stopped in front.
Soon after, the tip of the toe turned backwards, followed by the calves, thighs, pelvis, waist, chest, and shoulders, and eventually the neck and head turned towards Kartina.
Seeing that inorganic face, Kartina’s legs collapsed and she sat on the ground with a thud. Tears welled up in my eyes and I couldn’t hold back any longer and ran down my cheeks.
Kartina touched the ground with her hand. The only thought in my head was that I had to run away somehow.
I tried to run away by pushing the floor with my hands, but my body, hardened with fear, couldn’t move as I wanted.
The distance that Kartina stretched out with all her strength returned to normal when Serena took a single step.
It would have been faster if he had just turned around and crawled instead of struggling with his arms and legs while sitting on the floor.
However, Kartina couldn’t find the courage to look away from the Royal Knight Commander in front of her. Because the fear of not knowing what that person would do if she took her eyes off her heart ate away.
If I was crawling on the floor and got caught by my hair from behind, I was confident that I would roll my eyes and blow bubbles on the spot and go crazy.
“Hee, heehee…!”
When Serena’s gaze met Kartina exactly, a scream leaked out. I’d rather faint.
No matter what happened after that, it seemed that if I woke up after fainting, I would be in a better situation than this moment. However, the overwhelming sense of intimidation in the basement did not allow it.
Kartina remembered seeing that kind of eye.
One day, when adventurers who were distributing hallucinogenic drugs were caught in this city, Elliot, who was looking at those humans, had eyes like that.
It was a look at trash that was not worth saving. In fact, he was executed after posting only a brief summary report.
But why on earth were people as high as the 1st Knight Commander of the royal family sending him the same gaze?
“Cartina.”
Serena briefly muttered the name of the bitch who was trembling on the floor. A hiccup, a hiccup sound escaped from between her pursed lips.
took one step forward. The sound of the sabaton, made of metal and leather, hitting the wooden floor echoed through the basement.
Kartina tried to step back with all her might, but because she was weighed down by the mana that continuously overflowed from Serena’s body, after a while, she stumbled and fell on her side.
Orange hair fluttered across the dirty floor.
A loud cry was heard. Kartina was crying. He was bewildered by the fear that would strike him at any moment.
“There are things your years haven’t realized yet.”
The voices were getting closer. Serena bent down and grabbed Kartina’s neck. The response of kuk, kuk came back immediately.
Her slender fingers patted the hands and wrists that were holding her neck. Of course, Serena’s hand didn’t even move.
In that state, he slowly raised his arm. Kartina’s legs lifted into the air, and the hand tapping Serena’s wrist got faster and faster.
The legs struggled in all directions, expressing the owner’s urgency.
“Why did you talk to my lord so pleasantly?”
Serena deliberately gave strength to the word, my.
This damn bitch needs to wake up to that soon. That his lord was not a person to whom such insignificant people could talk carelessly.
And, especially if it’s a woman.
Serena bent her elbow and pulled Kartina towards her. He quietly observed the woman, who offered no resistance and gasped desperately for a breath.
If I just apply a little, even a little bit of strength like this, the neck that supports this bitch will break like a can of millet. Your hands and feet will sag, and soon your entire body will become chilly.
But then it dies too quickly. Serena remembered the damn woman talking to her lord.
Immediately after that, apart from the bubbling inside, the expression on his face grew colder and colder. Killing him by breaking his neck was too merciful a gift.
Shall I pluck out my eyes? So that the lord would not be reflected in those hateful eyes. Serena gently ran her thumb around Kartina’s eyes.

Just as she once did with her lord, she just needs to press her eyes gently with her thumb.
Then the cornea would rip, the lens would shatter, and the vitreous would spill out and stir up the whole face.
Pulling out all the teeth seemed like a good choice, too. Serena opened Kartina’s lips with her free hand and clamped her front teeth between her fingers.
Kartina desperately slashed her throat while choking. It seemed that he had a rough idea of what Serena was trying to do.
Or you can pull out your tongue. Without her tongue, she would no longer be able to speak with her lord.
It was clear that there would be no needless giggling and coquettishness, and no fawning over the master saying that he was quite famous in this insignificant place. I felt sick to my stomach watching it.
Okay, let’s pull out the tongue first.
It was at this moment that Serena, having made her decision, violently opened Kartina’s mouth, smashed her chin, and pulled out her tongue.
A red magic circle was drawn on Kartina’s forehead, and her body began to crumble into red powder from the tip.
Seeing this, Serena let go of her hand. It was a type of teleportation technique.
As long as it was activated, there was no point in physically holding the neck. It wasn’t impossible to break that level of magical intervention, but in order to do so, the entire building would have to be blown down.
Soon after, Kartina’s entire body turned red and disappeared.
Serena wasn’t surprised at all when she saw Kartina completely scattered into the air. It was natural.
Since her lord had directly ordered Kartina and the people around her to keep an eye on them, no matter what they did, Serena had no reason to be surprised.
He must have assumed that such an action would occur and told him not to raise his suspicions.
No one is surprised to see an ordinary human being breathing.
And Serena felt that Kartina’s behavior was as natural as breathing.
