Stannis reluctantly withdrew his eyes, but the moment he withdrew his gaze, he caught a glimpse of a long, deep, and terrible scar from the woman's earlobe to her neck, which he immediately judged to have been left by a sharp sword.

But how could such a beautiful woman have such a shocking scar, like a crack in a beautiful jade.

Anya also noticed his surprised look, but instead of getting angry, she ran her hand over the scar lovingly.

"I said before that I killed people everywhere for revenge, but you didn't even ask why, don't you want to know why?"

Stannis withdrew his gaze, he knew that the woman was about to start talking about her background.

The woman slid the back and forth of the back of her hand over the scar again, and then said categorically.

"That's why I'm avenging it. ”

Stannis helped her forward while quietly listening to Anya's story, knowing that she must have gone through hardships as well.

"I come from a family that has vanished, and even my family name has been destroyed. Anya's simple opening sentence made Stannis smell sad and bloody.

"You don't have to know the family name, because it will only bring you calamity. That so-called Duke Garcia has laid the most vicious curse on my family, just as he did to the previous duke. ”

Stannis didn't expect Anya's identity to be so special, and she was also born as a nobleman. What had her family done that the Duke hated so much, and what had happened to the previous Duke what she had said had happened to her?

"It all started twenty-five years ago, when Garcia, a ruined nobleman from another principality, somehow got the appreciation of his predecessor, Duke Griffin, and although he didn't know what means he used, he was like a poisonous snake that tightly wrapped around the ducal throne, seducing his mind, eating away at his power, and finally strangling the entire family sitting on it. On the eve of the Griffins' demise, the Duke's last son was sent to my family to ask for refuge, and my father, the most loyal lord of all of Tanis, swore to defend the last vestiges of the Golden Griffon's bloodline, only to be wiped out. ”

Stannis felt a chill in his back, although it was because he was leaning against the cold wall, he did not expect that the political struggle of the Western Continent people was also so cruel, and it had begun to rise to the point of destroying a family at every turn.

"But my father was powerful, and he himself enjoyed the title of Yum, and Garcia had always been jealous of his prestige, so he took the initiative to come to the dinner party to show favor and offer mercy to the orphans of the previous duke, and my father certainly wanted to keep the only blood of the Griffin family. But Garcia, the most cunning serpent, has already set up the most vicious conspiracy. ”

"It was one night fifteen years ago, and I'll never forget that day. At the banquet blessed by the gods, he openly violated the iron rule that no force should be used at the banquet, and secretly let his men lead his special army to slaughter, Black Watch, to infiltrate the city to carry out a destruction operation, killing everyone he encountered, and they called this massacre 'holiday hunt'. I will never forget the night when the whole castle was filled with cries and screams, when my mother and sister were tortured to death by the beasts, the heads of my brothers were skewered on spears and paraded through the streets, and my father, who had fought his way through the siege with all his might to get the duke's last only son out of safety. ”

"And I'......" Anya touched the scar on her ear again, "maybe the gods blessed, and after being slashed by this fatal sword, she passed out and survived." ”

"Too ...... It's cruel. It took Stannis a long time before this sentence came out, and he was even more attracted to Anya, because the poor family background of a helpless woman can always touch the softest part of a man's heart.

Anya didn't speak again, of course she couldn't tell her how she woke up from a mountain of corpses and blood unclothed, facing the tragedy of the entire family being wiped out overnight. Not a single person survived the collapsed castle, and there were severed heads and corpses falling from trees everywhere, only crows hovering above and enjoying the feast of human flesh.

"So everything you do is to avenge your enemy?" said Stannis, distressed, for a woman as weak as her should not be burdened with such hatred.

Anya nodded, she wiped her eyes slightly, tears wet the mud on her face, and she looked even more pitiful.

"But apart from Garcia, you seem to be shooting like someone else. "The last time Stennis heard Evelyn say it, it seems that Anya's goal is Blackwatch.

"Yes, although the viper cannot be spared, its vicious fangs must also be removed, and that night I remembered the faces of the soldiers who tortured and killed my family, so I passed the trials under the Nine Towers and became a high-level illusionist, and I immediately returned to Tanis to start my revenge. Now that Garcia is a duke, his garrison is extremely tight, and every action that can only accidentally injure his guards has no effect on him, so I decided to change my approach and start with the Black Watchman who did the dirty work for him, the soldiers of the time have now become the leaders of this army, and my hatred for them is the same as it was then. Anya said through gritted teeth, her eyes glinting with vengeful rage.

"So, you've launched several bombings in the royal city, targeting those officers?"

Anya nodded, "The last time I was caught in your castle was because I killed a black watch ensign nearby, he was the culprit who tortured my second sister to death, I used the Dementor Charm to force him to say everything, I wanted to know the reason for Garcia's rapid rise, but I didn't expect that he knew very little, just an abominable pawn." ”

"Then you've killed so many officers on Black Watch so far, won't it arouse the alarm of Duke Garcia?"

Anya pointed to her face with a sly look, "So that's why I chose to be an illusionist, every time I kill someone, I completely transform into another person, male and female, so that they don't arouse their suspicion that it is the same person." ”

"Oh, it's fun to be male-female......" Stannis couldn't help but have a bold idea.

"But even though I've killed so many people, I've never been able to find the person I want to kill the most. Anya sighed softly, she seemed to be obsessed with it.
