Chapter 270
Side Story 3
For Yufi, the girl from the mountain village, that day arrived suddenly and cruelly.
“The Emperor or the Revolution.”
“The Emperor! His Majesty the Emperor!”
The cavalryman of the Iron Cavalry, clad in utterly unfamiliar armor, asked. Faced with that question, Yuphi, a girl who knew nothing of the ways of the world, could only answer toward what seemed higher and grander.
“…Did you say the Emperor?”
“Yes, yes! We are merely a humble servant of His Majesty the Emperor…”
That answer was the beginning of the tragedy.
“They are those who refuse the revolution. Kill them all.”
“……!”
“Major, what should we do with this woman?”
“Do as you please. But make sure the cleanup is thorough.”
“I will obey your orders!”
At his subordinate’s sharp question, the man called Major turned his head, dismissing it as unimportant. THUD! A sound echoed simultaneously. It was the sound of Yupi’s father, desperately trying to protect her, his flesh and bones shattering into pieces and scattering.
“Kyaaaah!”
“Father!”
The scream echoed. Villagers, belatedly begging for their lives as they fled, were meeting their deaths one by one before their weapons.
Tears threatened to spill at any moment. In the despair that threatened to make her mind go blank, the men moved to rape Yupi.
“Come quietly, you damn bitch!”
The man grabbed Yupi by the hair and shouted, and in that moment, Yupi bit down on his fingers with all her might.
