Horn never went into church.

In her impression, the pastor of the church is a bit like the director of the neighborhood committee or the branch secretary in the modern tradition, who is in charge of everything.

Weddings and funerals at home, conflicts between people, etc., can be guided and resolved according to the spirit of the Bible, so the church is very important.

The Cathedral of St. Narcissus in the imperial capital is a little to the west, and the war has just subsided, and at this moment there are many people inside, men, women and children, listening to the melodious bells of the church and chanting scriptures. Horn guessed that their hearts must be clear and pious at the moment, praying for the attachment of fate.

The moment you step through the door, you can see the lights of the church. On the altar, thousands of pure white candles burned, and the rich aroma of cigarettes erupted from the door of the temple, and Horn felt a strong collision in his heart.

Looking up, through the tall ribbed arch windows of the church, you can see the clear blue sky, and the warm rays of sunlight shine into the church in the window lattice.

At the top, there is a statue of the Virgin holding the Holy Child Jesus.

—Horn saw Austin beneath the statue of the Virgin at a glance.

He knelt quietly like an ordinary believer who came to pray.

The colorful windows dazzled Horn.

She approached Austin and whispered, "What are you doing?"

Austin ignored her, muttering words that seemed to be confessing or praying for something.

Horn waited quietly for a moment, listening.

Austin knelt in front of the altar and repeatedly crossed the cross.

"Lord,

Save me, the lost lamb.

I saw my truth,

I found myself a helpless sinner.

I confess that I am a child of sin,

and willing to repent and accept you as the Savior of my life.

I beseech you to forgive me all my sins......

Amen!"

......

Horn waited for him to finish all of this and pulled Austin out of the church.

She couldn't understand: "If you don't confess to the people you killed, what are you doing here?"

Next to the church of St. Naciss, there is the tomb, and the sun shines on the church and on the tomb as well.

Austin quietly broke free of Horn's hand and looked up at the sky, his brown eyes filled with sunlight, which instantly made him feel a kind of tears.

"Are you satisfied?"

"Ugh......" Horn sighed.

This kid has been having trouble with Robert since the day she forced him to kill her.

It's not going to go on like this......

With a knife in your hand, it's not a good thing to be disobedient.

Austin...... Your father was exiled to the North, and if he were alive at the moment, I might be able to get him back. ”

Austin glanced at Horn and refused: "You just need to be your Majesty the Empress, and the lives of our low-level people will not bother you." ”

The eldest prince died in battle, and the second prince also died at his hands. Now, everyone knows that Horn is about to get into trouble.

He actually ...... Kill the future master of a country!

Austin remembered that the second prince's dying face had become lifeless as soon as he opened the strange silver bottle that Horn had given him. And he trembled......

He killed Robert because they had a grudge against him, and he had a reason to do it.

And what's going on now......?

The second prince has no grievances with him, and he should have become his monarch and the rightful master of this country!

But because of him, the second prince didn't even have a chance to live!

If he can make it to the imperial capital...... It's going to be saved, right?

Has he really become an executioner?

Austin spread out his hands, his trembling hands were extremely white in the sun, but Austin seemed to see blood on them......

"Vomit ......"

Horn looked at Austin's painful appearance, and without saying a word, lifted the person like a chick and came to a tavern.

The hot and enthusiastic hotel proprietress twisted her waist in front of them, she bent down to look at Austin, and the waves in her chest were about to overflow.

"Little sister, take your brother out to drink at such a young age?"

Horn threw the proprietress a gold coin and said, "Take out the strongest liquor and pour it all into him!"

"Okay! No problem! Wait a minute!"

Seeing that the money was open, the proprietress did not pity the jade at all, and quickly brought out a jar of spirits, asked the man to help, and poured all the wine into Austin's mouth.

"Uh......h I don't drink! Stop...... Temple...... Horn!You bastard!!"

He was only 12 years old, and where was the opponent of a strong guy, even if he spilled a lot of wine because of the resistance, Austin was still poured into a lot.

When the proprietress heard this, Horn, which one else is Horn in this imperial capital?

Looking at the girl's obvious black hair and green eyes again, the proprietress shook her hand, and the wine jar fell to the ground.

"Smack——!

Fragments leap around.

"Temple...... Oh no, Your Majesty...... please forgive me for being clumsy!"

"What do you need? I'll bring you the best wine in our tavern!"

Just now, she actually called the future master of the Sikaya Empire "little sister"! It's suffocating to think about.

Horn glanced at the proprietress - she was in her thirties, very mature, and her figure was even better, especially the choppy ...... She couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

...... She decided not to bother with the proprietress of the hostess.

"It's okay, you guys go down first. ”

"Yes, yes, Yes, Your Majesty, please enjoy yourself! Call me if you need anything!"

The proprietress is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and she directly changed her words.

Horn watched as she twisted her waist and left bewitchingly.

Austin was very uncomfortable at the moment, his throat was burning and aching, his head was dizzy, and he felt like the sky was shaking.

He tried to find water to drink, and as soon as his hand reached for the cup, a thick feeling of dizziness hit, and Austin's center of gravity was unstable, and the whole person was planted directly on the ground.

The shattered shards of the jar pierced his flesh, and the pain made him sober up a little.

He lay straight on the ground, his eyes glazed.

Horn sat on a stool and looked at him condescendingly.

She thought about it for a moment and felt that Austin had some sympathy with her......

Horn opened her mouth, a little hesitant, but finally she said slowly:

"Austin, let me tell you a story. ”

......

"There used to be a girl who had a happy family, and then her parents got out of the car...... Her parents were hit by a carriage and killed – and then she had no home. ”

Her relatives robbed her parents of the house they had left her, leaving the girl on the streets. ”

"She snatched food from wild dogs and picked up leftovers from other people's food. One year, wearing that set of tattered clothes, I slept under the bridge hole. Community...... The children of the town looked down on her, and when they saw her, they threw stones at her, and scolded 'little wild dogs' and 'picking up rags'...... She often had a stomachache from eating, and she could only curl up in a ball to endure it. This wandering life lasted for most of the year. ”

"In the winter of that year, at the coldest hour, the little girl hid under the bridge and shivered, her hands and feet gradually became unconscious, and she remembered a fairy tale called 'The Little Match Girl'...... She thought she was going to freeze to death. ”

"At this time...... A man appeared, and the man asked her if she would like to go with her, and the girl was so happy that her mouth was already frozen and she could only nod desperately. ”

"'I do!' the girl cried out inwardly. ”

The girl resolutely followed the man, thinking she was going to have a home. ”

"That man, let her call him 'Godfather'. ”

"The godfather was usually very busy, and there were often a lot of armed people coming in and out of the luxurious house. But the godfather did not forget to buy the girl the best clothes and ask the best teachers to teach her music theory and equestrian ...... But the girl has little talent in music, but she has an amazing talent in equestrianism. On the night the girl came of age, the godfather gave the girl a pure-blooded ...... Precious horses. ”

The girl was very excited to stroke the mane on the horse's neck, and was about to go up for a test ride when her godfather ...... Rode on the body. ”

"The godfather raped the girl. ”

"The girl was like a different person overnight. Instead of turning against her godfather, she obeyed him, tried to please him, and competed for favor with his godfather's mistresses. She also seduced the best martial artist under her godfather and learned to shoot behind her back...... The use of various weapons, fighting skills. After 4 years of forbearance...... In bed, when the godfather was at his most excited, the girl slit the godfather's neck with a blade hidden in her teeth...... After the godfather died, she cut the godfather's flesh little by little, and then forced all the godfather's flesh into the belly of the horse that the godfather gave her on the night she came of age...... The horse was blown up. ”

In the four years of forbearance, she was already familiar with the operation of the forces under his godfather. Therefore, as soon as the godfather died, she succeeded in ascending to the throne. Then she killed the martial artist, killed all the old people around the godfather, and the members of the force changed blood. ”

From then on, the underground era that belonged to her began...... She shows no mercy in the face of those who are weaker than her, and in the face of those who are stronger than her, she flatters, flatters, and forbears...... Like a poisonous snake in the shadows, it gives the opponent a fatal blow, and that's it...... She trampled her opponents down step by step, and built her throne on corpse after corpse. ”

"But the good times didn't last long. Just when she was about to finish everything - she was sick, incurable, and had only 6 months to live at most. Maybe this is retribution, she has done so many cruel things, God doesn't want her to live anymore. ”

Two months later, she died. ”

I lived.

With that, Horn got up and poured himself a glass of water.

"Isn't that ridiculous? ”

"Austin...... You said that it was good that she was frozen to death at the beginning, why did she choose to live and suffer so much?—— she still died in the end. It's ridiculous. ”

Austin, seeing that instead of sympathy, was laughing, he got up from the ground angrily and laboriously, pointed to Horn's nose and said:

"Everyone has the right to live, why do you say that she is ridiculous?—— when did you pampered people understand the suffering of people like us?!"

Horn laughed to himself, slapped Austin's finger down, and said, "yes, so...... I also have my way of living. My dear second brother is immortal...... I'll be the one who will die in the future. ”

If someone must suffer, why does that person have to be me?

So I chose him to die and I to live. Austin, don't you understand?"

Big fish eat little fish...... This world is like this......

"It's just a prince......"

"In the future, I will let countless emperors and kings die in your hands!"

Austin...... Isn't it exciting? I tremble with excitement just by thinking about it!"

"Hahahahaha......"
