103 – The End of Those Who Used
People must know how to take advantage of situations.
All objects and backgrounds around you.
And even to people.
By using all of these generously, humans can reach the goal of success.
That was the way she lived her life.
She has never once doubted this until now.
And at this moment.
She…
She is named Clara.
She was walking along the hallway with great anticipation about the new ‘tool’ she would acquire this time.
‘hehehe… thank god. Torah, because that person believed what I said. I guess the shock of losing her younger brother must have been quite severe?’
Clara barely succeeded in reaching the Maple Region.
Immediately after that, she met with Governor Tora and told her story, embellishing the events that had happened in the south to her advantage.
The story is that General Neto died due to Nelson’s takeover, and he barely survived.
Governor Torah was still unable to come to his senses, overcome with great heartache and despair.
In this regard, Clara was now happily considering how she could take advantage of the situation.
‘Tora, that person still knows me as his younger brother’s lover… Now all that’s left is to make good use of the dots. Since both of us have lost someone precious to us, if we dig deep into that and capture that man’s heart… ‘
She had already changed several people for her own success.
Although she was a little older, she could make the choice to make Governor Tora her next lover and use him as a stepping stone to move forward.
‘He’s an inspector and all, but he’s still a man capable enough to be the Governor of Tora. If you become the lover of someone like that, you will definitely gain quite a lot. Even if becoming a general is a little difficult. Living as the governor’s woman is not a bad choice… ‘
With that in mind, Clara begins to put on as gloomy an expression as possible before meeting the Governor of Tora who called her.
Immediately after she put the mask over her face.
She began to carefully enter her room.
“I am here, Governor. Why are you calling me… ?”
At that moment, Clara suddenly begins to have doubts due to the scene that begins to appear before her eyes.
It is the appearance of the Torah governor sitting in his room.
And it was the appearance of the auditors standing around him.
They are standing still, giving off an unusual atmosphere.
Recognizing her fact, Clara asked a question in a cautious voice.
“Hey… Governor Torah? Why are these people here… “
A sudden feeling of anxiety.
Regarding this,
Governor Tora spoke to Clara with a cold expression.
“You should know better why?”
“… Yes?”
“What do you do? “Let’s arrest that dirty b*tch right away.”
“I understand, Governor.”
“!? Radish… what?”
The auditors immediately reacted to Governor Tora’s words and immediately arrested Clara.
Clara was caught without even being able to resist.
“For… What’s going on, Governor? I am… “What are you accusing me of doing?”
A confusing situation that cannot be understood from her perspective.
The inspectors surrounding Clara spoke with cold anger in their voices.
“Shut up! “It’s already been revealed what you did!”
“You dirty traitor! How dare you confide in the enemy, seduce General Neto, steal secrets, and thereby cause great loss to the empire!”
“Besides, wasn’t it because of Nenyeon’s plan that led to the Mok tribe’s rebellion? As a corrupted general of the empire, he could do something like this. “This can never be forgiven!”
“That… What on earth is that… Candle… Governor! What does this mean! “What are they talking about now!”
The inspectors’ stories were words that she could neither understand nor accept.
Although it was true that she seduced General Neto, it was only for her own advancement.
There was no connection whatsoever with the rebels, and even in the case of the Mork tribe, she could barely participate because of work.
Stories that can actually be said to be false accusations.
However, before Clara could refute anything, Governor Tora spoke firmly with deep anger.
“And in the end, they even made my younger brother die to destroy the evidence! This ugly bastard… “I will never forgive you for my four years!”
“That… That’s a misunderstanding! Jeon….I’ve never done anything like that!”
Clara shouts in an urgent voice.
However, in response to this, the inspectors resolutely began to drag Clara along.
“Get rid of excuses. “He’s a rebel spy!”
“Be prepared, I’m going to make you reveal everything you know!”
“Thank you for your cooperation, Governor General. Then.”
“Good luck.”
“Let go! Let go of this! Governor of Torah! You dirty bastard! How could you do this to me! I came this far believing in you, but how… How can I do this!”
-Boom!
Clara’s angry voice was cut off as the door closed roughly.
Immediately after being left alone in the room,
Governor Tora sat down and quietly lit a cigarette.
To be honest, this current situation was not very pleasing to the Torah governor.
From her perspective, Clara was a person who might become her brother’s wife, and to that extent, her governor had a favorable opinion of her as someone who would become her family to some extent.
However, regardless of these feelings, he decided at this moment to stab Clara in the back.
‘In the current situation, a scapegoat is needed to overcome this crisis. Not only the empire but also our family has already suffered great damage due to the defeat in the war. If we fail to hand over responsibility to that b*tch, the family’s position itself will be in jeopardy.’
In the world of power, any excuse for being criticized could lead to death.
In particular, since the North family had a large stake in the material loss of defeat in the war,
He had no choice but to minimize the damage by passing the blame for the major events that had occurred so far onto Clara, who was his now dead brother’s lover.
In fact, Clara has been directly or indirectly involved in large and small battles in which the empire suffered losses.
He was even known to some extent among the people as General Neto’s lover.
If you use her for her wealth, the direct blow her family will receive will be greatly weakened.
So, apart from feeling uncomfortable, I felt a sense of relief at the fact that I had sorted things out to some extent by using ‘tools’ in this way.
Governor Tora had a bitter expression on his face and spoke in a quiet voice towards his younger brother who was no longer in this world.
‘I’m sorry… I can’t help but do this. If you get angry because of this, I will make you pay in the afterlife.’

“Kuhuheook!!!”
The smell of burning flesh that started to come out when my chest was burned with an iron.
In it, Clara let out a miserable scream,
Her people spoke to her in a voice full of anger.
“Say it! Who are you! “Who on earth instigated this?”
“Nell… Son… Leader… army… “
“Get rid of nonsense!”
“If you insult the generals of the empire any longer, I will not tolerate it! Speak up “Who on earth did you receive orders from among the rebels?”
“This… I already said… “Wow!”
The auditors followed Clara’s words and kicked her in the abdomen.
Clara felt so frustrated by their actions,
Blood was vomited from his mouth due to the ruptured intestines.
“Four years will die anyway. “If you want to die in peace, answer quickly.”
The auditor’s words made me pull my hair as if it were going to be pulled out.
But at this moment, it was not her mere physical pain that was causing her the greatest pain.
The most heartbreaking thing was that no matter how much I told the truth, they would not believe me.
As expected, no one within the empire doubted General Nelson’s loyalty, and above all, these auditors themselves were somewhat related to Nelson.
They were the subordinates of General Bagoin, who is now completely retired, and to them, Nelson can be said to be virtually on the same side.
So, if you mention Governor Tora or General Neto, it is said that it is an attempt to blame them, and as they are being beaten and do not want to believe it,
From Clara’s perspective, it was truly stomach-churning.
However, since I don’t actually have any connections or information about the rebels, I can’t really say anything here.
In a place of physical and mental torture that never ended.
Clara…
She has used others to achieve her own success.
She struggled in excruciating pain, as if her internal organs were burning.
I screamed inwardly in pain that would last for eternity.
‘Why… Why did it become like this? I… ‘What did I do wrong?’
