Chapter 205: Beast with a human face (3)

December 25th.

In the area that was not far from the Eliata Gorge, the main army of the Ernes Empire began to position themselves in earnest.

“……”

Is it going to rain soon?

The thick dark clouds that prevented their eyes from seeing the setting sun in the horizon also caused the area to become unpleasantly humid.

Pitter-!!

Patter-!!

Just as expected, several drops of water began to fall from the sky before long.

Then, the rain began to hit the floor heavily...…

What was coming down was not simple rain, but extremely heavy rain.

?Stop working for now and rest!

Raymond, the Second Prince, shouted his order and made the soldiers take shelter in the huts that had already been built. After all, the rain was so heavy to the point that it made it difficult for all the troops to keep building the camp.

Ferzen also led his troops into their hut and quietly watched the desolate wasteland change color.

“......I don’t think the rain will stop anytime soon.”

“It seems so.”

“There is a large flowing river upstream. I hope it will overflow so the main force of the Elmark Empire will be overwhelmed.”

“Their wizards did not come this far just to eat and play. So the possibility of that happening is low.”

“......I guess so.”

Ferzen, who had been conversing with Doran and his unit members, gradually reduced their conversation and quietly took a step back.

Then, he approached Lizzy who was standing far away from the group.

“Lizzy.”

“……”

“Let’s move to another location for a while.”

Before she could even answer, Ferzen took an umbrella from his subspace, snatched the control of the corpse behind her, and instructed it to push the wheelchair.

Pitter patter-!!

When the two of them left the protection of the hut, they could hear the loud sound of rain hitting the umbrella.

The rain that obscured their vision was so heavy that it made Ferzen’s and Lizzy's uniforms become damp even though they had only traveled a short distance.

Creak-!!

As soon as they entered a small hut that was not far away from their previous hut, Ferzen folded the umbrella and opened his mouth,

“This is your tent.”

“……My tent? Is it not your entertainment space to be precise?”

Lizzy sneered at Ferzen's words and pulled the collar of her uniform to reveal his handprint that was hidden beneath it.

After all, unless that was his intention, it was nothing but strange to separate her space from the other.

“How……Do you plan to abuse me here?”

“…… ”

“Do you plan to burn this body that is covered by a uniform?”

If it’s not that,

“Are you going to strangle me again?”

Lizzy looked at Ferzen with her unsmiling eyes and a wry smile on her lips. She then took his large hand and brought it to her neck.

A fragile neck that looked like it would break if given enough pressure.

“Why are you staying still?”

“……”

“If you put just a little bit of strength, I would be shaking like I did back then. I will also shed tears while having an ugly expression on my face.”

“……”

“It’s raining a lot outside. My painful moans will be completely drowned by it.”

“……”

“Isn’t it the perfect time to hunt a sheep?”

A sheep who fearlessly presented itself to the wolf and forced it to prey on it.

It was a very contradictory situation as the prey was the one who led the predator...…

However, Ferzen did not dance to her tune and just gently touched Lizzy's neck before adjusting her collar.

“Lizzy.”

“……”

“The weather is cold.”

“It’s not even funny.”

“You often have a sore throat. So when the weather is like this, you need to take extra care of it.”

“……”

His way of speaking was so different from usual. It was as if he was wearing a mask that did not fit him even more than before.

At that moment, Lizzy felt a strange deja vu and furrowed her brows.

“When I talk about you with other people, I want people to ask if you are still a pretty and lovely child.”

“……”

“But, I don’t want people to ask whether you are healthy or not.”

As soon as Ferzen finished speaking, the deja vu was replaced by a distinct familiarity.

“??!”

When Lizzy recognized that feeling, she felt goosebumps rising all over her body and roughly slapped away his hand that was straightening her collar.

No, before she could even hit his hand, Ferzen had pulled his hand away from her, making her tiny, fragile hand hit nothing but air.

“……Don’t.”

“Here I thought you have become a proper lady. Yet, you still seem like a careless girl.”

“Don’t imitate my brother–!”

Lizzy raised her voice loudly as if she was screaming at the action of Ferzen which horribly tarnished the memories that she could only remember but not acquire.

But instead of listening to her words, Ferzen just tied the ropes between the tarp that was fluttering in the wind and rain, tight to close the entrance of the tent.

In the darkness of the tent, he began to imitate the action of Lizzy’s family members that no longer existed in this world based on the memories he got during the process of receiving feedback from Cesar and Roer's bodies.

No, can it really be called a simple imitation?

After all, his act was too perfect to be called so.

As the only sense of her that was blocked was her sight, her hearing and sense of touch could still feel his touch and voice. Both of it was something which she missed so much from Roer and Cesar.

“Stop…… S-stop……”

It had not even been 10 minutes since they entered this hut,

Yet, her already fractured heart had broken and shattered even more, turning into a handful of dust and scattering away.

Even though she clearly knew that it's just an illusion.

Her body, which had been pushed to the edge of the cliff, was pitfully trying to accept it as the truth.

The one who killed her brothers was none other than Ferzen.

So, isn’t it too cruel for him to imitate her brothers?

“I-I was wrong……”

She had lost her house and her family.

She thought that she would not be able to lose anything anymore since she had nothing left.

She thought that Ferzen would have no means left to make her suffer.

She definitely thought so.

However, she realized that she had merely misunderstood.

……His pretentious hypocrisy was disgusting enough to make her vomit.

Yet, she had never let out a desperate scream like this.

Little by little, she unmasked his hypocrisy while facing the fears and terrors she had resigned herself to.

However, what was revealed beyond that mask was not the ugly and shady side of a person, but the appearance of a terrible monster.

Thud-!!

Eventually, Lizzy went down from her wheelchair, fumbled around on the ground, crawled miserably towards him, and hugged his feet tightly.

Sob……!

Sob-!!

A pitiful cry that could not be easily masked by the harsh sound of pouring rain filled the room.

Even though he looked like he would bend down and embrace her body, currently, Ferzen was not wearing the hypocritical mask that she so desperately wanted to take off.

“I will not…… Do it…… again……”

On the other hand, Lizzy was desperately trying to put that hypocritical mask on him again.

She wanted him to be kind to her in order to relieve some of his guilt. Just like the first time.

Rustle-!!

Finding her action to be annoying, Ferzen pulled his foot which she was holding tightly and put it behind.

“Ah…… Aah……”

Then Lizzy, who was pinned to the cold floor, unable to walk, crawled after it once more.

“No……”

So close, yet so far.

She would prefer if he at least played a tug-of-war that seemed to mock herself.

Lizzie curled herself like a snail and covered her ears as Ferzen walked towards somewhere inside the hut while reducing the sound of his steps to minimal.

After all, she didn't want to hear his voice that was imitating the tone of her brothers that would come from somewhere.

“S-sorry…… I’m sorry…… Keheuk! I’m sorry……”

Amid the sound of the pouring rain, the scream of a heartbroken girl that apologized for god knew what resounded.

Step-!!

In the end, Ferzen, who had been standing still in the corner while looking at her blurry figure with his eyes that had become accustomed to the dark, stepped forward.

Rustle-!!

Then he bent down and grabbed the hand of Lizzy, who was repeating the apology over and over again like a parrot, and lowered it to make it stop covering her ears.

“Lizzy.”

“Heuk……! Ye…… Yes……!”

Lizzy trembled out of reflex as tension filled her whole body. Then, when she realized that the intonation and tone of his voice were those of usual Ferzen’s, she nodded her head like an idiot in response.

“Isn’t this what you wanted?”

“N-no……! Not at all!”

Fearing that Ferzen would once again move out of her reach and violate her memories of her brothers, Lizzy roughly grabbed his forearm and shook her head violently.

“……But, haven’t you become a bad child who only does things I don’t like?”

“I-i’m sorry...…! I’m sorry……! I will be a good kid again……!”

“I don’t think……”

Ferzen gently caressed Lizzy's cheek as he said that...…

“I can trust those words.”

As he whispered those words to her ear, Lizzy stretched her trembling hand out and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

What does it mean for her to be a good child from Ferzen's point of view?

Was it to be obedient and become a doll that he could use to alleviate his guilt?

No, perhaps that was only a secondary thing.

To him, for her to be a good child meant that she needed to always be a delicate lamb that struggled with fear and terror that was caused by the presence of the man called Ferzen.

That’s right, one of the hypocritical kindness acts he did......

Rather than wanting her to show him her usual bearing, he wanted her to show how she had submitted to fear and terror.

Wooosh-!!

After a while, in the middle of a hut that had nothing but silence.

A faint fishy smell mingled with the unique smell of the soil that was wet from the rain.

"Keu…… Heu…… Heuk…… ! Heuu, huaaa...…”

Leaning into Ferzen's arms, Lizzy let out a sound that was hard to tell whether she was crying or laughing.

At the same time, she, who had urinated herself, grabbed the hem of his clothes even tighter than before.

“……”

Only then did Ferzen control Lizzy's corpse once again to make it loosen the ropes that had tied the entrance of the tent tightly. He then patted her back kindly.

Flap-!!

Beyond the tarp that was fluttering due to the wind and rain, a faint amount of light from outside came in and illuminated the inside of the tent.

Lizzy, who looked up at Ferzen's face, raised her body as he saw a faint smile bloomed on his exquisitely kind expression.

She then foolishly smiled along with him like a doll without any soul.

Rustle-!!

Eventually, Ferzen moved her to a spot that could not be seen from beyond the fluttering tarp. She then took off her uniform pants and panties with her own hands.

When Isabel rose from the coffin that came out from his subspace and washed her urine-stained crotch, Lizzy could not do anything but grip his shoulders and stare blankly at the ceiling.

Even though she could feel a man's hand brushing against her vagina without her permission, as if all of her emotions had been castrated, Lizzy did not feel any shame

No, that was not true at all. After all, she still had to show him that she was afraid and terrified of him.

If she didn't, he would once again trample on her memories about her brothers.

“……”

Once he was done cleaning her crotch and shook his hand, Lizzy pulled a spare pair of her uniform pants from her subspace and handed them to Ferzen.

As she must show him that she was afraid and terrified of him, it would make no sense for her to wear it herself.

'Ah……’

It’s cold.

Her crotch which had been washed by cold-water turned numb. Because of it, her red, swollen pussy squirmed pitifully, clenching and unclenching its dense flesh.

Creak-!!

After that, Lizzy, who was being carried by Ferzen back to her wheelchair, lifted her waist slightly to make it easier for him to put on her uniform pants with his own hands.

However, he just stared at her while holding her uniform pants in his hands.

“You have not given me your underwear.”

“……”

It was useless, strange, and trivial.

In response to Ferzen's words, which contained details that would make people more miserable, Lizzy smiled a little and took out a pair of pure white panties from her subspace.

“……”

He was probably sneering inside when he saw her panties while thinking why she was wearing such crappy underwear.

Or maybe he thought that it's refreshing for a decent lady to wear such a girly underwear.

……When she looked down at his face, which didn’t give her any way to read what he was thinking, he stood up and put her pants and underwear onto her.

“Your pretty face is a mess.”

Ferzen wiped her tear-stained face with his gentle hand as he said those words in a gentle voice.

After he was done, he skillfully moved behind her and straightened her hair which had become messy.

But throughout that, Lizzy could only hold onto the armrest of his wheelchair tightly while letting out a soft pant and make her shoulders sag down.

After all, she knew very well what kind of consequences await her if she didn't show any reaction to him.

And as if he was satisfied with it, Ferzen gently brushed her hair, turned his back against her and left the hut...…

“H-ha……”

Lizzy smiled at that moment.

"Ha…… Heuuu, ahaha...…”

No, she was telling herself to laugh,

While she was crying.

“......I did the correct thing, right?”

Astel muttered while looking at the small hut across the street where Lizzy and Ferzen had moved to. Beside him, his colleagues nodded at his question.

“Every night, she cries for her brothers and lets out endless moans due to nightmares. This is the correct thing to do. At least until we face the enemy.”

“Since it is not something that we can solve doesn't mean we have to tolerate it.”

“Rather than paying attention to a low-level warlock with no experience, it is more important to maintain our condition.”

“……Hearing you say that, I think I spoke well to His Excellency the Count.”

“Don’t worry too much, Astel.”

“I get it.”

Astel wiped his face once, let out a bitter sigh, and began tidying the inside of the hut together with his unit /genesisforsaken
