Before me is Petty Morrison.
“Don’t hesitate?”
The languid voice of Johan pierced my ears, spreading deep into my chest like the ripple caused by a water droplet in a serene lake.
“What?” Petty Morrison trembled, tied to the chair.
“Save me, please. Show mercy…”
Fear emanated from his ordinary brown eyes.
“Fear, huh.”
A gaze unfamiliar to me.
The usual looks directed at me were filled with malice, contempt, or emotions like anger and hatred. Most of those glances were when directed at the weak.
“Do I have a reason to forgive you?”
With Johan behind me, I gained the power to control life and death with a single breath.
“This is how it feels.”
To look down on someone from above, to be in a position to judge arbitrarily.
“Johan must have always looked at me from this position.”
I met Petty Morrison’s eyes with a calm gaze. His brown eyes shook with fear.
“Do you have nothing else to say?”
From this position, pleas and desperate expressions from those below seemed merely amusing.
Petty Morrison had already confessed his sins to me, and whatever he said, I had suffered, and with a single decision, I could easily erase him.
But then, things felt strange.
“You groundlessly degraded, criticized, and hurt me. Because of you, I became a villain without any wrongdoing and faced judgment from all sorts of people.”
“I-I didn’t know it would go that far.”
“With a few lines of the article you wrote, and the absurd things you made up, I lost the potential of my life, and rumors labeled me as Libertan’s villain. If not for that, I might have had a chance to do something more.”
“At least, I would have had more opportunities.”
However, due to the rumor of being Libertan’s villain, I was confined to the mansion, and escaping from Libertan became an unreachable dream.
Petty Morrison, who couldn’t look into my eyes properly, hesitated and begged.
“Please forgive me just once. If you forgive me this time, I promise there won’t be such an incident again.”
“Do you believe those words?”
Johan scoffed with a cynical tone.
“It’s just an excuse to avoid the situation.”
“N-No! I’m sincerely reflecting, and if you forgive me like this, I will do whatever it takes…”
“Then, what are you going to do?”
Johan playfully kicked the chair Petty Morrison was tied to. Just the slight movement of the chair made Petty Morrison startled as if stabbed with a knife.
“S-Sorry!”
“If you know your sins, you should die. Why try to make excuses?”
Johan smirked as if Petty Morrison’s reaction was amusing, placing his arm around my shoulders. His thumb swept across my throat.
“Estelle, it’s nice that you care about others, but trying to do so won’t benefit anyone but you.”
“Is that so?”
“Think only of your own pain. Isn’t that the most important thing?”
At first, Johan’s words seemed correct.
“After all, no one recognized my situation.”
I raised my head and met eyes with Johan. He took a dagger from his embrace and placed it in my hands. The sound of my heart intensified as the dagger became a part of my body.
Perhaps it was because I was extremely excited.
“I care more about the wounds you received than the sins committed by this insignificant person. So, I want to make you feel more at ease.”
Johan kindly indicated the position to thrust with the dagger.
“Stab as much as you want.”
Johan’s large hands held my hands with the dagger and guided them to Petty Morrison’s neck. I felt Petty Morrison tremble in fear at the tip of the blade.
“Isn’t it unfair to always be the victim?”
Johan squinted and looked at Estelle.
Estelle brought the dagger to Petty Morrison’s neck. A small stream of blood flowed from the slightly scratched neck of Petty Morrison.
“That’s right.”
Estelle’s delicate and long eyelashes drooped.
“It’s unfair and annoying to keep being a victim like this.”
“Yeah, it makes sense.”
“I wondered if there was a reason for you to do this to me, but it’s not.”
Johan empathetically patted Estelle’s shoulder while looking at her. Even through her voice, the pain within Estelle could be felt.
Although kind-hearted Estelle hesitated, this time, the stage would be different.
She wouldn’t endure it.
‘Just like I did.’
In this way, Estelle also entered a world similar to her own.
Johan felt a strange sense of satisfaction as he moved dark magic. Petty Morrison tried to struggle in terror, but his body couldn’t resist the influence of dark magic.
‘Now is the time.’
A mysterious magic circle appeared in Johan’s red eyes, and dark magic was activated.
Now, all that was left for Estelle to do was to kill this foolish and guilty man.
“Mr. Petty Morrison.”
Estelle grabbed the dagger as if she would stab it directly into his neck, then stopped abruptly.
“Do you have any last words?”
“T-That… I don’t know.”
“I thought so. Then, you won’t have any regrets even if you die now, since you’re dying because of your own mistakes?”
Estelle swung the dagger toward Petty Morrison. He closed his eyes in contemplation.
But right in front of Petty Morrison’s eyes, the dagger stopped.
