Maris collapsed onto the ground. She did not dare look at those soul plaques. Her whole body felt ice cold, and breathing became difficult.

It felt as if countless hands were choking her throat, cutting off her air.

Fear stabbed into her temples like fine needles, and her head throbbed painfully.

She muttered, “I didn’t do anything wrong. Those civilians were hiding soldiers. They weren’t innocent civilians. I did nothing wrong by killing them. Your family was killed by assassins from Solantia Kingdom. It had nothing to do with me… right, it had nothing to do with me. It really had nothing to do with me. I did nothing wrong.”

As she spoke, she swallowed hard and tried to crawl away.

Laila’s voice came from behind her. “That’s exactly how you’re crawling right now. My fifth sister–in–law tried to protect her child. She had been stabbed many times, and her leg was already broken, but she refused to die. She crawled across the ground just like that, dragging herself toward her child. Blood trailed all over the ground. In the end, she collapsed right beside her child.”

Maris froze instantly, too terrified to keep crawling. The image flashed through her mind, and her whole body trembled even more violently.

“You said I hated you because you took Holt away from me. But compared to my family, what is Holt worth? I never cared about him at all.”

Laila slowly stepped on Maris’s back, then pressed down harder. “Maris Duffy, you’re right about one thing. I really do hate you, and I really did want to kill you. But do you think the only reason I didn’t kill you was because of that damned sacrifice?”

Laila bent down and spoke slowly, word by word.

“No. Even if you had never gone to Stillmoon Sanctum and never begged for the Moon Goddess’s protection, I still wouldn’t have killed you. Your crimes cannot be made public. I cannot tell everyone that it was you who slaughtered civilians and tortured the crown prince of Solantia Kingdom, which ultimately led to the destruction of the entire Conlays. That would be the shame of Rydar Kingdom. If that truth were revealed, the entire kingdom would be nailed to the pillar of disgrace. My father and my brothers gave their lives on the battlefield to protect this kingdom. They sacrificed everything to defend it. So from the beginning, I had planned to endure it. But who could have expected that you would run off to Stillmoon

Sanctum?”

Laila slowly smiled, but that smile sent a chill straight to the bone.

“You chose five years of suffering for yourself, Maris. Every full moon, the pain of silver flooding through your bloodline. Isn’t that the Moon Goddess punishing you?”

Maris’s eyes widened. Her lips trembled, but no words came out.

Five years.

The torment she endured every full moon. That pain rising from deep within her bones, that

agony

that made her wish she could tear herself apart.

She could have avoided it?

Everything… had been something she brought upon herself?

She looked at Laila, and Laila looked back at her.

After a moment of silence, Laila spoke again, her voice colder than before.

“But what right do you have to say the Conlays were not loyal heroes of the kingdom? You asked me why I didn’t rescue you. Fine, I’ll tell you. It was because I couldn’t save you. You brought it upon yourself. Silas went to the Vagen Battlefield specifically for you. They had already taken control of that place. When they fought Simonne, their numbers were smaller because the rest of their forces were waiting in the mountains for you. You expected me to take tens of thousands of soldiers and fight their hundreds of thousands head–on just to rescue you traitors who broke the agreement between the two kingdoms? Sacrifice those tens of thousands of soldiers just to save you? Not only would I never do that, no one would.”

Laila bent down, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness. “And when I said you brought this on yourself, I wasn’t only talking about the Lovanfall Battlefield. At the Vagen Battlefield, Prince Vance originally ordered you to stay in the rear lines. But you were greedy for glory. While we were attacking the city, you rushed in to claim the credit for yourself and fell straight into Silas’s trap. Everything that happened was the result of your own choices. No one has any obligation to sacrifice their lives to save someone like you who chased glory recklessly and brought disaster upon herself.”

Maris remembered everything that happened at the Vagen Battlefield. She had gone over it again and again in her mind. And it was true.

Every step had felt as if it had been calculated in advance.

And it was true that she had walked straight into the trap.
