If those who went outside happen to return without dying, ask them and kill them. It should be a reward for the hungry times. Also, it’s good to approach the Second Prince, who will be grieving. If Elizabeth Kitten disappears, make that vacant spot yours and build your foundation.

‘Understood…’
The command of ‘Father’ was like a burning iron hook. The engraved command in her mind, like a throat burned with iron, was unforgettable, and she couldn’t forget it.

Execute my command when the Second Prince completely succumbs to you. Don’t think about returning until then.

‘Yes…’

In her dazed mind, only the compulsion to efficiently execute the command remained.

Any thought that had tried to emerge was completely trampled, leaving no trace.

All that remained for Siena was her monstrous appetite and Kieran’s command.

“I’m hungry… I’m so hungry.”

She got up from the bed and wandered around the room, then approached the window.

Outside, where autumn had passed and chilly winter winds had begun to blow, was desolate. The Duke’s mansion gate was firmly closed, and as the weather grew colder, those who used to come outside to enjoy the wind gradually decreased and sought refuge indoors.

‘If only someone would appear here…’

Her mouth watered. After licking her dried lips with her bright red tongue, it returned to her mouth.

It didn’t matter who it was. Siena was stronger than any existing zombie. If prey resisted, she could break their limbs and pull them apart, leaving them helpless.

She wanted to eat them alive if possible. She hoped that a Paladin with nauseating divine power wouldn’t appear. Upon hearing that the Paladin Corps had taken all the paladins, she even thought about throwing away the holy water and tearing off the limbs.

‘Ah. If I could tastily eat human blood, flesh, muscles, and bones, this hunger might be appeased.’

Siena decided to wait. She hoped that Kieran, who was in a good mood after the failure of Elizabeth’s Paladin Corps, would command her to feast.

If the subjugation failed, and the skilled individuals who went energetically didn’t return without corpses, there would undoubtedly be a couple of frightened deserters.

That would be the perfect time to satisfy the delayed meals.

Siena looked out of the window with anticipation.

“I have to go to the Second Prince.”

‘Father’s words were correct.’ Siena thought it wouldn’t be a bad strategy to win Aston’s favor and stir up things among his comrades.

Having lost her memory, and weakened, Aston would not be able to refuse the visit of the beautiful sister-in-law who had lost her husband not long ago.

Thinking so, Siena laughed.

Hidden firmly within the sealed soul, her true self screamed for salvation, unaware.

As soon as our party entered the store, strange signs began to be observed more.

“Zombies… They’re pouring out as if there’s a large-scale discount event going on or something?”

Benedict, surprised by the first sight, pointed outside with his mouth wide open.

It was like a bolt from the blue for us, who were hastily putting firewood into the fireplace to warm up with the magic fire of Luce due to the chilly weather.
Enjoying the luxury of being able to build a bonfire thanks to the mobile force field, the trials inflicted by the world, or rather, the culprits, were severe.

“Ah, ahhhh!”

“Geeaaaah!”

“Grrrr…. Grrrrrr….”

Various types of zombies poured out onto Quatuor Street, where our hiding store was located, as if they had received a signal.

The number was overwhelming. Just looking at it reminded me of the passengers boarding on a weekend night as if boarding a subway to hell.

“…It’s like a living tsunami.”

“Rather, they look like misshapen mud dolls.”

Mihael threw out a merciless comment with a wrinkled brow. Benedict also turned his head at the gruesome sight.

Indeed, the speed of the zombies approaching Quatuor Street in the Fourth Zone was no joke.

Whether on two feet or four, they somehow jumped towards us. Already, zombies that had entered the street were so numerous that they trampled over each other, creating a chaotic mess.

Since the zombies didn’t feel pain even if they lost a joint or broke a wrist or ankle, they didn’t care. Gradually, the zombies began to dominate the street in a massive mass.

“Uh… Wait a minute. Doesn’t it look like that thing is rolling towards us from all directions?”

As I stared blankly at this insane scene and spoke, others responded in surprise.

“Really!”

“Oh, no. A lump of zombies formed by gathering… What do we call that? Anyway, the zombie lump is destroying buildings and coming towards us?”

“If we stay like this, it seems dangerous. Judging by the direction they’re gathering, they probably already know where we’re hiding…!”

As I listened to the frightened voices of the users, I thought.

‘They must have selected a zombie and configured it for visual sharing with the culprit.’

If we developed a mobile force field that moved, they, on the other hand, seemed to have created a moving zombie CCTV capable of sharing images.

Having quickly grasped the situation, we had to act promptly.

‘Or else we’ll die!’

“Ruth!”

“Yes! My lord!”

“Can you use magic right now to keep the zombies’ eyes away from us?”

The number of approaching zombies was already over a thousand. Despite the countless number of entities, after Ruth’s silver-gray pupils rapidly finished counting, she nodded.

“It’s possible. I can cast an all-encompassing attack spell towards their eyes, excluding our party.”

“Among the gathered zombies here, one is probably searching for us. If we’re exposed like this, we could also be overwhelmed and killed, so hurry!”

“Yes!”

Ruth chanted a spell.

『Pierce through. The eyes of foolish seeds. Since they cannot see the truth, it is no different from their degradation.』

When the spell was activated, bloody streaks shot out from the distance, dripping with blood from the face of a zombie who had completely lost both pupils.

“Kieeeeeeek!”

As they screamed, having lost both eyeballs, blood flowed down from the face of the zombie.
