137 – Scene 137# Blood
*
‘Take note. rian. You are human.’
The first time Lian felt ‘thirst’ was when she was 5 years old.
When she saw the blood from her mother’s finger cut by a kitchen knife while cooking, she felt an unknown desire.
Was the smell of blood so irritating?
The blood flowing through his fingers looked as sweet as the flesh of a pomegranate.
I found out later that it was ‘thirst’.
The moment Lian, as if possessed, was about to put her mouth on the blood.
‘no!’
Mother’s stern voice heard for the first time.
‘hehehe…’ .’
Surprised, Lian cried.
A caring mother who always comforted me when I was crying.
But the words that came out of her mouth were not consolation, but sighs.
‘I can’t hide it from you anymore… .’
‘mom… ?’
That day, mother taught Lian.
The fact that my father is a vampire.
It was shocking that my father, whom I thought was dead, was still alive, but the fact that he was an ain was even harder to accept.
‘Mom, I… . I am not human… ?’
Even as a child, she knew what would happen if the fact that she was Ain was known.
Rian, who began to tremble at that nightmarish future, was embraced by her mother.
‘Rian, you can live as a human as long as you want.’
‘how… ?’
‘It’s okay as long as I don’t drink blood.’
Mother emphasized sister.
Once you drink human blood, you cannot return to being human.
‘No matter how hard it is, you have to endure it. I can… ? Ryan.’
‘yes… .’
Looking back, at that time, my mother wanted her to live as a human being.
And Ryan wanted to do the same.
I wanted to live as a human.
yes. Is it any different to want to live as a human?
I wanted to live without change.
Just like the time when I used to laugh with my mother even though it wasn’t enough, when I fell asleep in her arms exhausted from crying.
I just wanted to live like that forever… .
Such a humble wind did not last long.
Everything changed when a famine came to the village.
The land was dry and the famine set in, and the villagers changed.
‘under. I’ve been begging for a lot.’
‘please! mister! I’ll give you everything, so don’t take any food!”
‘Aren’t you off?! I’m glad I didn’t even take my life!’
‘please… !’
‘Ah, go away!’
‘Lee, Lian! no! Aww!’
Lian’s house, where only two women live, was the first target of the villagers who were robbed.
In despair, the village quickly became ugly.
And around the time when not a single blade of grass was left, the shadow of death fell over the village.
The first victim was Rihanna’s mother.
‘mom… ! Wake!’
On the bed, my mother, skinny like a skeleton, was lying.
As she gradually lost her focus, she barely opened her mouth.
‘Lian… . Mum, can I ask you one last thing… ?’
Lian lifted her head, swallowing her tears.
said the mother in a cracking voice.
‘My mother’s blood… . Would you like a drink?’
‘what… … ?’
‘then… . You can live.’
Ryan understood what he meant.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
‘Mo, I can’t! I can not! I can not! You promised! Like my mother… ! I will live as a human… !’
‘mi… I will not.’
Mother shook her head helplessly.
‘Mom is… . you lived… I wish… .’
Mother was talking to her as if squeezing out what was left of her strength.
Seriously worried about Lian’s future.
‘Even if you’re not human, Lian… . under… My only daughter… It’s… .’
‘I hate it! mom! Don’t go!’
Ryan’s mother closed her eyes like that.
And the next day, as if possessed by something, Lian left his hometown and headed for a city without famine.
The place where Rian, who became alone, settled is the capital of the empire, Ludlow.
I wasn’t here to achieve anything.
I just came here to live.
Just like my mother asked for at the end.
Lian, who was young and had no learned skills, had no choice but to steal.
I stole like crazy to live.
I stole and stole as much as the life that was taken away from others.
how much time had passed
When arrested by the police, she had committed over 100 thefts.
… I’m hungry.
Lian looked back at her memories in the cage.
It had been about ten days since the death penalty was handed down.
There was no laughter anymore.
Of course, he’s the older brother who died of starvation.
Isn’t this the same as your mother?
It was like a beggar begging… I wanted to say, but my voice wouldn’t come out.
I didn’t even have the energy to do that.
My mind became hazy from starvation.
Maybe by tomorrow, even the energy to think about it will be gone.
and i will probably die Ahahahaha. It’s ruined.
A low voice came from Lian, who was thinking that way.
‘Wake up.’
‘… … !’
Rihanna jumped up without realizing it.
To the point where I wonder if I still have this kind of power left in me.
It was a horrifying voice.
It was a reflexive response to the feeling of a crushing heart.
When I turned my head, I saw a strange man standing outside the cage.
Black Noble… .
He was a man who fit that image perfectly.
The man looked down at her with arrogant eyes like an aristocrat.
What if I look at you… I wanted to say, but this time, no voice came out.
Anemia came because I was forced to stand up.
Strangely enough, his voice could be heard clearly in the midst of everything hazy.
‘Do you want to live?’
uh.
‘Or am I hungry?’
uh! Can’t you see! I’m f*cking hungry!
‘Then fight for me.’
…what?
Ryan’s eyes caught one of the man’s actions. A hand holding the iron grate gently.
At the same time, her nose noticed. That there was man’s blood on it.
It was strange.
I have smelled blood many times.
However, it was the first time since my mother’s blood that it smelled so sweet.
The iron bars the man had touched emanated a thick, rich scent.
The drops of blood flowing there felt like forbidden fruit.
‘Why am I doing this… ?’
A feeling that Rihanna had suppressed for a long time.
The ‘thirst’ that had faded came up.
Instinct was speaking.
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Drink that blood quickly.
When he came to his senses, Lian stretched out his finger and touched the iron grate.
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Drops of cold blood came out.
do you want to live
Rian chewed on the man’s words and opened her mouth.
That kind of question, but mana did… .
The moment I put my bloody finger on my tongue, the tightly closed iron grate opened.
*
“You prepared pretty hard.”
That was my first impression.
In the middle of the arena was a huge checkerboard.
Prisoners with weapons occupied their seats one by one on the checkerboard that looked like it was carved out of stone.
In addition, they were all armed with armor and weapons in their own way.
“huh. What will Jim do if he prepares like this? You guys ruined everything.”
“You sound strange. I must have been faithful to the game.”
“Shut up. If you have eyes, look at the way you choose.”
The emperor poking out his mouth pointed to the left side of the chess board, my camp.
No, what did Jinyoung do?
Because there was only one word I chose in the first place.
Even that horse was ugly compared to the one the emperor had chosen.
There stood a scruffy, sloppy woman.
With neither armor nor weapon selected, she looked defenseless.
At least he was more active than when he was behind bars, but something was strange.
It was because I was looking around anxiously all the time.
“It’s unexpected that you had the strength to rise, but you seem insane. Is that crazy tramp really your eye?”
“Just sit still and watch.”
“Tsk… . good.”
When the tongue-tied emperor gave a wink, the guards blew their trumpets.
– Let the game begin! The rules are simple! The side that knocks down the opponent’s piece wins! From now on, interference from the outside will be strictly prohibited! The chess pieces, please move from now on!
With the announcement of the beginning of the chess, all the emperor’s prisoners walked towards Lian.
Even though the game of killing and killing began, they were overflowing with composure.
“Wow, isn’t this eating too raw?”
“If you kill a kid like that, you’re free… .”
“It’s a game I won anyway, but I kill myself playing with it.”
“I don’t think I’ll be able to eat and sleep because I’m so skinny.”
Lian stood still until they closed the distance with such vulgar conversation.
no. I was looking at this
Me sitting down to be exact.
Red bloodshot eyes were staring at me.
She must have instinctively noticed.
The owner of the blood I tasted a moment ago.
her first prey.
Finally, Lian stepped out.
Where she was headed… .
“Huh?”
“You crazy b*tch! Where are you going!”
As expected, Ryan came towards me.
In an unexpected action, the prisoners approached Lian.
“Hey! b*tch! Can’t you hear me?”
The first to block Lian’s way was a large man.
He was so big that he could tear people to pieces with his bare hands and swung his mace without hesitation.
With an ominous sound, the mace flew towards Lian’s leg.
People who saw the scene would have imagined the scene where Lian’s slender legs were crushed.
But.
“… … uh?”
The prisoners, the SS, and the emperor sitting next to me also had question marks in their heads.
As if by magic, the mace disappeared.
No, the man’s upper body had completely disappeared.
Like being bitten by something sharp.
badly.
There was an eerie sound of bones and flesh being crushed.
dump.
In the end, the lower part of the body could not bear the weight and fell.
The man’s lower body convulsing on the floor was very bizarre.
No, it was so unrealistic that it left me speechless.
“Well… .”
Lian tilted her head.
Even at that moment, my gaze was not taken off her.
So I could clearly see the red blood flowing from her mouth.
“It tastes awful.”
