Chapter 199 At That Night



The incident had resulted in a great number of casualties, causing a wave of fear and despair to spread across the region. However, since Allen was engaged in a fierce battle with Wyncall\'s subordinates, the majority of the Servus were called by Wyncall to fight Allen, greatly reducing the expected number of casualties. Despite this, the toll on the community remained significant, with many lives lost and countless others left traumatized.

The causalities are about one per eighth of the humans living near the front gate.

Children, women, and men were found alive but had lost their sanity. Members of the Daemon Servus desecrated them as a form of their holy ritual. They rape them while they are dying from knife thrusts in their stomachs.

For Servus, "Do as you will" is their ideology or the religion\'s precept. During the ritual, the seven cardinal sins of humans must occur to increase the negative emotions and make them turn into demonic mana that The Cloven Grail eats.

Because of this incident, the Barkaley region took some time to recover. The manor house, the houses, the fields, and the front gate were destroyed. Everyone had to work in the cold of the water month.

Even so, the Barkaley region was the luckiest region, as it was the only region to survive after the attack from Daemon Servus. As for the other towns that survived, they usually regressed to the point where their nobles had to start at 0.

And Allen...

Since that night, he has never come out of his room.

Without Allen\'s cooking, the tavern slowly began to quiet down, empty of customers. It returned to being the old tavern visited only by poor customers.

Rodion didn\'t force Allen to do anything.

Susan often invited him to talk from behind the door of his room, but Allen did not answer.

Peter and Iva refused to come to see Allen. They said they didn\'t deserve to meet him at that time. Then they also told Susan to send their apology message to Allen.

"What exactly happened to him that night? Why did Allen become like this?" Susan said.

Susan had heard some brief stories, but no one wanted to go into detail. To be sure, Allen did not come wounded, which meant that his heart was currently hurting.

"He\'s probably starting to realize it," Rodion said.

"Realize what?"

"The scars on his body"

"Don\'t tell me he never realized them all this time?!"

"He has only realized the scars on his skin. He hasn\'t realized the many scars that always remain inside his body.

But now he realizes,

Wounds made by others are easier to forget than those made by oneself."

...

That night, after Laveya escaped.

Lord Barkaley immediately got off his horse and approached his wife, Theda.

"Theda! Is that you, Theda?!" he shouted as soon as he saw her unconscious near Peter\'s family.

"Lord Barkaley, calm down, your wife—"

"How can I be calm? Look at how much blood is coming out of her!"

The barony looked at Birawa and shouted, "Birawa! You\'ll have to take responsibility if anything happens to my wife! It\'s because you asked me to follow your crazy plan!"

"Calm down, Lord Barkaley; that man already told us she\'s fine. You should be thanking me because the damage you sustained was small."

Lavinia approached Theda and said

"Lord Barkaley, please excuse me for a moment. I will cast healing amnis on Lady Theda."

"Please!"

Lavinia drew healing amnis. At the same time, she also activated her god\'s blessing to hide it. So it looks like she just activated the healing amnis.

As she finished, Lady Theda immediately coughed and opened her eyes.

"Theda! Are you alright?!"

"I-yeah..." Theda said.

"She only has a few wounds on her back and shoulders. Don\'t worry, Lady Theda is almost healed."

"Oh, thank God," said Lord Barkaley as he hugged his wife\'s body.

Lord Barkaley then lifted Theda and placed her in Peter\'s carriage. Then he looked at Allen; their eyes met.

Allen immediately averted his face while trying to find a cloth to cover his white hair. But it was useless because Lord Barkaley had already seen him.

He came closer.

And in front of Allen, Lord Barkaley snorted. Looking at him with a hateful gaze.

"Hmph! I didn\'t expect you to be alive. I thought you were dead, killed by Prince Harald along with Earl Boldenville."

Barkaley raised his hand, trying to hit Allen,

"Lord Barkaley! Wait!" said Lavinia, but Petronella stopped her. She, who both knew Allen\'s identity, was most aware that Allen deserved any retaliation from the people whose families had been killed. One or two blows would have been fine.

But...

Lord Barkaley abandoned his intention once he saw Allen\'s back.

It was full of scars from the lashes he kept giving Allen for almost a week.

Lord Barkaley lowered his hand and said, "While my troops were hiding around Herrwade, I received a letter from my wife."

"My wife told me about the state of the territory being fine, and then she told me about the boy who had always helped her.

That boy is a good cook and loves to help others with all he can."

Allen raised his head to look at Lord Barkaley.

He saw Barkaley\'s hateful face, trying to contain his anger in front of Allen.

He then said, "That\'s funny... My wife is talking and asking for help from the boy who killed her own son.

What are you going to do now? After killing the people in this region, will you live as if everything never happened?

What a disgusting peasant! Don\'t ever show your face in front of my wife again.

I\'m sure she\'ll never want to see your face again once she finds out that you\'re her son\'s killer.

You murderer."
