Chapter 20 (The Past)

"Shasha~~" In the forest, Milina held Rita, who was unconscious and had lost too much blood, and ran quickly. And she herself has many, many wounds on her body. If she hadn't been a hybrid of orcs and humans, and she had a huge amount of power from the orc bloodline in her body, she might not be able to run by now.

"Sister Milena, no... I'm going to run away~~~ because you... You can't run away~~" Merri's somewhat mischievous but unusually cold words rang out from the forest behind Milina and Rita.

Although Merry was involved in a wound on her shoulder and couldn't catch up with Milina and Rita quickly, she also followed closely behind the two and chased after them.

In the constant escape, Milina was shocked that her strength was slowly decreasing. Coupled with the dizziness caused by blood loss, Milina knew that she and Rita were hopeless.

Rita secretly followed the half-elf out, and she secretly followed Rita out. At this time, Deklaas may not have known that their two disobedient daughters were about to fall under the scythe of death.

As Mei Li said, you can't run away. But when Milina looked at Rita, who had lost too much blood in her arms, she knew she couldn't stop. Otherwise, both she and Rita will die under Merry's torture!!

At this time, Milena, who was running away with Rita in her arms, suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking the air, and then felt something hit her in the back of her head, and she fainted under severe pain.

"That's enough!! Merry!!" At the moment of losing consciousness, Milina seemed to hear Deklaas's voice angrily scolding Merry. How reassuring the sound was, how reassuring...

"Milena, be good today. Besides, it's your birthday, so you have to dress cutely. A man with blond hair and golden eyes, very affectionate, gently put on a very cute coat for his daughter who was about to go out.

"Now, Dad, when I come back in the evening, I'll be you!!" the daughter said with a happy smile in her arms and her father.

"But we father and daughter are not allowed to be together. Moreover, you are still young and don't understand yet. The man squatted down, touched his daughter's hair, and said helplessly.

"I don't care about that!!I just know that I like Daddy and want to be with Daddy. Besides, doesn't Daddy like Milina too??Why do you care about those??Why doesn't Daddy feel his heart??" The daughter said a little willfully.

"Don't use the lines in it on me. The man smiled and gently knocked on his favorite daughter's little head, and then hugged her who was already in tears, and said in her ear: "Dad, I took three days off just to accompany you~!!!

"Well!!I see!!Milina will be back soon!!" As soon as she heard the man's words in her ear, the daughter immediately kissed her father on the cheek very happily, and then happily went to school.

In the evening, the daughter came home happily, only to find her father sitting on a chair at the dining table, drinking wine. In her memory, he didn't drink and hated people who drank. So she asked with some confusion, "Dad, why are you drinking??"

"Your mother doesn't want me anymore... Milena... Will you want me... Isn't it... Don't..."The words of the father, who had already drunk, were filled with angry sadness for his mother.

"I'll have you. But what's going on with Mom...", because she went to school and didn't know what was going on between her father and mother today, but she still gave her own answer and wanted to ask what was going on.

But her father, who was already drunk, didn't give her a chance to ask. Without hesitation, he threw his daughter to the ground, kissed his daughter's mouth at once, and struggled to get it. Moreover, at the same time, he was tearing his daughter's clothes.

Fear suddenly filled her daughter's little head, who was only ten years old, and she was so frightened that she didn't know what her father would do to her. So her little hand hit her father hard in the face, waking him up all at once.

Saddened and unable to accept what he had done to his daughter, he ran away and locked himself in the basement where he worked. No matter how much her daughter cries, she doesn't come out.

Since then, she has not seen her father, who loves her, for several days. Although she thought it was a slap that day, which made him angry. But she never imagined that he was dead.

"Why don't you let us bring his body back!?"

"I'm sorry, but now this is a crime scene, and vandalism is not allowed!!"

"But are you going too far!?He's dead!!Why are you torturing him!?And are you forgetting the teachings of the God of Light by doing so!!!"

"I don't think that's torturing the dead. Besides, I'm not a believer in the God of Light, and I don't know what that teaching!!"

Listening to the quarrel between the grandfather and the guard, the daughter just looked at her father, whose golden eyes were no longer shining, and her breathing had stopped, and cried quietly.

From conversations between the family and the guards, the daughter learned that her father had died the day after her birthday. The place of his death was again on his way to the Holy See where he worked. But he had already taken a leave of absence, why... Is it because of me?

Dad, what did I do...

"Didn't you say that you were going to give him all that day??Then why did you refuse his request??Remember, you killed him!!" The mother's words beside her made her daughter's pupils shrink suddenly. She couldn't imagine that it was her own slap that caused her father to die!——

"Hmm~~~" Milina slowly woke up from her coma, the pungent smell of the disinfectant and the white bandages on her body, as well as all kinds of medicines on the bedside table, told Milina that this was the hospital.

"Are you awake??What a disobedient daughter!!" Not long after Milina woke up, a sigh from Deklaas reached Milina's ears.

She turned her head and saw Deklaas sitting in a chair beside the bed, peeling an apple with a calm expression. Rita was already sleeping in the hospital bed on the other side of Deklaas, barely bloodied face.

Although Deklaas was calm now, Milina knew that he was angry. Not just because it was a little red in the dull silver-white eyes, but more because of the tone of the sigh.
