Chapter 211 I think that is the best ending for him
"Yes..." After a long while, Ian finally nodded, "This is my God's favor."
Lilith looked at the always quiet black-haired boy in front of her and was speechless for a long time. No wonder, no wonder he always stayed alone on the top of the tower of the Stargazing Castle. Was it the only peaceful place for him?
"That Spencer is not a good person... She went to High Court and jumped into another fire pit." Seeing that Lilith didn't say anything, Ian simply spoke up. "That guy, he has changed several wives and he is not young anymore."
"You know him?"
Ian fell silent again.
"Yes..." He said with difficulty, "That guy enjoys abusing women."
Lilith said nothing, just listened quietly.
"Once, when he was out of town hunting, he fell in love with a farmer's daughter and raped her... The girl's mother tried to save her, but he strangled her to death."
Ian looked up at Lilith and said, "He is a noble, Lilith..."
"I understand." Lilith clenched her fists and tried to keep her tone calm.
"The farmer returned home, but there were only two corpses left. He bought a knife and spent half a year sneaking into Spencer's mansion in the city, wanting to complete his revenge."
Obviously he failed... Lilith thought to herself.
"The farmer was so poor, Lilith, that he couldn't even afford a good knife. The blade was too thin and brittle, and it bent as soon as it hit the bone, giving Spencer a chance to call for help."
"When his guards arrived, Earl Spencer's neck was almost cut to a layer of skin by the curved blade, but... he was sent to the temple and was saved by the saint. She could even heal that kind of injury..."
Ian's tone was confused. Why would the God of Light bless such a guy without reservation? Is this also God's mercy?
"And the peasant?"
"Earl Spencer had never encountered such a serious assassination attempt. The farmer should have been sentenced to death directly, but Spencer did not let him die. He was tortured every day and soaked in a water dungeon full of rats and maggots. Once he was about to die, Spencer entrusted the God-favored One to treat him."
He looked up at Lilith, "He prays for death every day, praying for the guidance of the God of Light, Lilith."
The man in the dungeon had remained silent since he was captured, as if he had given up hope of living, but the screams and wails in his head echoed in Ian's mind, every day, every hour, every moment.
Lilith looked at Ian with pity in her eyes and said softly, "Ian, your leaving the Church of Light, is it related to him?"
Ian's eyes were filled with pain. He remembered the look of fear and rejection Lilith had shown when she last heard his story.
"Yes..." Ian nodded again and said the same words as before, "I think that is the best ending for him, so I did it. I believe the God of Light will forgive me."
He listened to the farmer's screaming and shouting prayers for death every day and could not sleep all day. Finally, one day, he put on a full set of light armor, walked into the dungeon without any hindrance, and sent the farmer to the side of the God of Light. Before the farmer died, he finally showed a relieved smile.
Earl Spencer was furious and threatened to hang him, but a bishop who valued his divine favor stepped in and saved his life.
However, because of this, he was kicked out of the Knights of Light, the place where he once swore lifelong allegiance.
But Ian didn't care whether Lilith would reject him again because he was afraid of killing people. He was still worried about the poor girl in the crypt.
"Each of Earl Spencer's wives didn't live long. She, she shouldn't have entered that kind of purgatory. Maybe we shouldn't send her back."
As he spoke, a noise came from the cave, getting closer and closer.
"Margaret!"
Jaslin ran out after the runaway bride in front of her. While she was eating, they had already exchanged names. "Don't be willful. No place is more important than home."
"You don't understand my situation, Jaslin. Not everyone has parents who love them." Margaret had eaten her fill and had regained a lot of strength. Although she was still a little weak, she lifted her skirt and walked out regardless, wanting to part ways with them.
However, she didn't expect that there was still a man and a woman outside, as well as a giant moving stone monster. She was so scared that she screamed and fell to the ground.
"Don't be afraid, it won't bite." Lilith said softly. "Where are you going, Margaret?"
Margaret paused, looking at the pretty girl who took out hot food to entertain her, "I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to repay your help now-"
"How could that be? Your father is the lord of Ruvasburg. If you show some treasures, it will attract the attention of the dragon." Lilith's voice was like a temptation.
"…That has nothing to do with me anymore. I won't go back. I'm sorry."
"How can it be unrelated?" Lilith was still smiling at her while holding up the illumination spell, but she herself didn't know how strange it was under the dim green light. "You are the only daughter of the Baron, you have all the inheritance rights."
"Why would you give up?"
Margaret pursed her lips stubbornly. She didn't want to cry about her misfortune over and over again like the miserable female characters in the stage plays.
"You didn't really love that knight, did you? You just wanted to save yourself. Oh, and by the way, he didn't stand a chance to save you. The dragon roasted him well-done."
Lilith's faint words were accompanied by a green light, like a terrifying threat. Margaret was unsure of what she meant and remained alert and silent.
"There are more than two paths in life, Margaret." Lilith walked towards the other party with the green light in her hand, but scared her so much that she took a few steps on the ground. Lilith paused and finally thought of putting away the illumination technique.
"Listen carefully..." Lilith stretched out her hands and held up Margaret's thin face. "You were kidnapped by a dragon and tied to the Jangorod Crater. It was Katherine Bishop, a princess who was passing through here on her study tour, who made a deal with the dragon and rescued you."
Margaret's eyes suddenly widened.
"The dragon was moved by the princess's courage and wisdom and was willing to use gold coins to buy your freedom. You, full of gratitude and admiration for the princess, vowed to follow her forever, to become her loyal lady-in-waiting as your lifelong pursuit, and to bring glory to the Ruvas family with your own efforts."
Lilith stared into Margaret's eyes, listening to every word.
Margaret finally understood. She looked at the boys and girls in front of her with doubtful eyes, and then asked Lilith, "Princess, where are you?"
"Ah, it seems you agree!" Lilith suddenly clapped her hands and smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Then she pulled Margaret up from the ground and smiled, "Then you will be able to see her soon. Don't worry, she will definitely accept you!"
The crisp sounds of shells breaking were heard one after another, and the travelers from Goletia crushed the slug flowers and disappeared on the spot one by one.
Under the cold moonlight, the stone forest stood like a silent guard. If you stood on a high place, you could see a young man in black lying on top of a strange rock.
As the two-legged sheep below disappeared one by one, the young man took out a worn sheepskin-covered notebook from his arms, flipped to the back and carefully wrote down the name he had just heard -
Debtor: Katherine Bishop.
