I Didn't Really Want to Do Farming! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 199

The moment Kai saw the small, white hand buried in the dirt pile, his eyes rolled back in horror. An excruciating pain, so terrible he couldn’t breathe, pierced straight through his heart. It felt as if all the blood in his body was rushing backward.

“No… No….”

With trembling hands, Kai grasped the hand sticking out from the earth and began frantically clawing at the ground with his other hand like a madman.

He couldn’t let go of the hand for fear it might vanish back into the earth. The delicate fingers he held were chillingly cold, and utterly still—no movement at all—making Kai’s mind go blank, as white as a sheet of paper.

Each breath tore through his chest as if his heart were being ripped apart. Every second, the crushing guilt of having failed to protect her and the self-loathing of losing her right before his eyes gnawed relentlessly at his entire being.

Harmann, who had been digging alongside him, also began furiously clawing at the earth after catching sight of the pale hand emerging from the dirt.

His fingertips were raw and bleeding from the rough soil, yet he felt no pain. He would gladly suffer a hundred, even a thousand such wounds if only the horrifying scene unfolding before his eyes were just a dream.

“Who on earth could have done this! How could something like this happen….”

No matter how hard he thought, Princess Stella could never have ended up buried in the ground like this.

Harmann kept digging with both hands, not even bothering to wipe away the tears streaming endlessly down his face.

The fact that she was buried meant Princess Stella was already dead, and as Harmann dug, his vision kept going dark.

He worried about how the Emperor would change from this moment on, but his sorrow for Princess Stella was no less overwhelming.

The people digging alongside the two men gradually rose one by one, slipping quietly away as the atmosphere grew increasingly ominous. Their instinctive fear told them that staying near the Emperor right now might cost them their lives.

Ludina and Mila, who had come down upon sensing the garden’s unsettling mood, slowly approached the spot where people had gathered in a circle.

Through the gaps between people’s legs, they caught sight of a pale arm—and collapsed right where they stood. Wrapped loosely around the slender wrist was the blue bracelet Ludina had given as a birthday gift.
