Chapter 275: Lurea Thun Daughter of Ena Thun

"Your blessedness, please spare me!" Lurea Thun dropped to her knees when Ena shot her a lightning bolt.

"Your blessedness please!" Lurea said as she started kowtowing at her mother. "Your blessedness forgive me this time. I will fix it!"

"Fix it?" Ena's commanding voice echoed inside the room. "You let the Duke of Wugari fight against you and then you think that you can still fix this? How? You revealed yourself to the Duke! By now, he knew about you— about my Thun Family! Do you see him as a fool?"

"Your blessedness please— "

"I always knew you were a fool! How could someone be so ugly and fool at the same time!? You are— you are dumb! I would never tell anyone that you were once inside my body! You are an embarrassment!"

Lurea lowered her head, her jaws clenched. She was not born with an ugly appearance. However, some wishes needed sacrifices and to get the power that her mother wanted, her face should suffer.

Her physical appearance was taken away from her without her consent. However, this was not her mother's fault. It was the Duke's!

"I thought I could defeat him," Lurea said. "He was nothing but a weak Duke. I don't see any reason for me not to fight against him!"

"And yet you lost!" Ena screeched. "Yoouuuu losst!" she slammed her hand on her table out of frustration and anger. "You decided not to listen to my orders and lost! No… no." She pointed at Lurea. She narrowed at her daughter, her gaze piercing and cold. "You — Not only lost but you revealed to the Duke that we have connections to the Moller family! You are a fool! A useless fool!"

"Please give me a chance to fix this! I will surely kill the Duke this time!"

"Kill the Duke!?" Ena snorted. She walked towards her daughter and stood in front of her. Then she poked her daughter's forehead. "You — " She poked her again. "You wanted to kill the Duke of Wugari?"

"I can do it! I — I just came from— "

"SHUT YOUR TRAP!"

*SLAP*

One slap sent Lurea to the ground. While Lurea is already strong for her age, she was still useless in front of her mother.

"You came here bleeding, without a hand and you still dare to tell me that you are going to defeat the Duke!?"

*PAK!*

Ena kicked Lurea's legs.

"You dare say that after everything that you did!?"

"Answer me!"

*PAK!*

"I was wrong, mother please forgive me," Lurea said.

"Hah…. You — Do you really think the world will like you if you leave this place? How dare you think that you can do whatever you want!? Ha!? Do you really think you can just break my rules without a consequence?"

"I— "

"Someone!" Ena called out. Almost immediately, two men wearing hooded dark blue clothing walked in. While their robes covered their bodies, it was apparent that they were muscular. They were more than six feet tall and had broad shoulders that could easily intimidate everyone.

Even Lurea.

"No!" Lurea crawled towards her mother. "No. Please….No! Mother, not that! Please! I will get stronger! I will get stronger I promise you! Please!"

"You show it to me, Lurea!" Ena said. "Promises are nothing but empty words." josei

"Mother!"

"Bring her to the cave. Do not… let her out of there until I say so."

"No. Please…" Lurea started to panic. "No. Please, mother. I beg of you. I will not do it again. I will never do something like that again!"

"Now!?" Ena looked at the two men. Almost immediately, the two started dragging Lurea out of Ena's study.

Seeing her daughter gone, Ena narrowed her eyes before she disappeared into her study. When she reappeared she was already in another room with a man who was currently… naked.

"Do you even knock?" the man said without even looking at her. He just continued lying on a wooden bed, his body naked, eyes closed.

"Dress yourself. I have some important matters to discuss with you."

"Oh?" The man opened one of his eyes. "I heard about Lurea. Poor child."

"She will stay in the dungeons for a few days. She needed to reflect on her actions."

The man closed his eyes again, disinterest flashed on his face. "She is your daughter and she just lost a hand. Would you at least tell her she did great?"

"Great? What part of what she did was great? The Duke of Wugari already knew about us! Soon, he would come knocking on our doors!"

"He will not be able to come to this place without my permission." The man said. This time, he opened both of his eyes revealing sky-blue orbs that looked like gems from the lighting in the room.

"Lurea said something interesting to me," Ena said. She stood in front of the bed and stared at the man's immaculate beauty.

"What is it this time?"

"She said the Duke absorbed her lightning."

"Impossible."

"Was it?"

"You are one of the strongest blessed individuals. While your daughter is not as strong as you, she could easily hit the Duke of Wugari. She must be lying to try and make some excuses."

"Do you really think so?"

"The Duke of Wugari is not invincible. He is but a strong knight. His only edge was his experience in fighting. Those people are barbaric. They started fighting at the age of two. Naturally, they would be better in close combat inside a small room. This was Lurea's fault. She was too stupid and miscalculated everything."

Ena frowned. Lurea might act like a fool but she never lied to her in the past. Why would she suddenly say something that would not make any sense?

As if sensing her thoughts, the man added. "You are thinking too much. It was the Duke's trap. The Duke was anticipating her arrival. That was the only way that he could cut her hand. He must be with a sorcerer who knew about the restrictions in Clinton's brain."

"Lurea said she was with his future wife."

"Eh?"

"You heard it right. The Duke of Wugari is set to marry a sorceress."

I wanted to celebrate with everyone but I don't know what to do! How about a question and answer on discord voice call? What do you all think? Maybe we can drink coffee together while talking? Maybe I will stick to ginger tea.
