She looked at Tamon with eyes shining with interest.

[What?]

Instead of answering right away, Tamon turned to Asha.

His red eyes staring at Asha were savagely curved.

Asha knew when he bent his eyes like that. Most of the time he would say something she never imagined.

Tamon grabbed Ashas hand with a slightly tense expression on his face.

His hard fingertips brushed the soft flesh inside Ashas palm.

Contrary to his tender and careful touch, his hot body temperature showed an extreme obsession.

My ability is to engrave the name of the engraver on the body. Even if this ability disappears, I hope that its name will not be erased.

At Tamons words, she let out a light laugh as if it was funny.

[If Eros had heard of this,  he would have loved it.]

Eros.

The name of the god embodied in human language popped out.

He was said to be the god of love, desire, and lust.

Even in front of the Gods, Asha was amazed at Tamons shameless behavior as if he was wearing iron skin, and on the one hand, she was impressed.

She looked at the two of them and then looked at Asha as if She agreed with Asha.

Asha thought for a moment.

Perhaps because of that momentary worry, she could feel the strength in her hand held by Tamon. She has his name engraved on her chest. Her name was also engraved on his chest. Forever.

It wasnt a bad offer. Her stomach felt warm with a strange sense of satisfaction. Asha nodded her head slowly.

Yes, I agree.

[Alright. I will accept your quirky and cute request.]

God smiled and stretched out her hand towards Tamon.

Then, into her hand, the power of life, which beat stronger than any other light, was sucked into her.

At last, the five supernatural powers all gathered and spun around as if dancing on a small palm.

The light wriggled as if alive.

Hannah embraced it slowly, raised her hand, and threw it towards the open black gap.

[I collected all the powers.]

Contrary to the words she uttered as if singing a song, the destructive power of the swarm of lights she threw was enormous.

Boom!

The black gap hit by the light cracked as if ice were breaking. It was like a huge glass lake turned upside down in the sky and shattered. The sky, which began to make a plosive sound, shattered into thousands of pieces, scattered and poured over their heads. 

!

The sky has fallen.

Pieces of black glass fell like snow and rain, then disappeared in a glow before reaching the floor.

The black pieces didnt even touch the ground, but the whole world vibrated and shook.

Even so, the people whose time had stopped stood still as if they had become statues. Then, in an instant, the black fragments and vibrations that had been pouring down like rain disappeared completely.

When the black fragments pouring over their heads completely disappeared, only the chandelier was shining as if there was something there.

As they looked up blankly at the sky, a thin voice that dispersed like mist woke them up.

[ Hope and joy, chaos and sorrow, anger and love, all will always be with you.]

Surprised, Asha quickly turned around to look at Hannah, whose golden eyes were shining, slowly falling to the floor.

Hannah!

The heterogeneous light that surrounded Hannahs body was also disappearing.

Surprised, Hartz quickly ran towards Hannah and hugged her small body tightly.

Fortunately, the wheezing breath that broke through the childs lips was stable.

At that moment, the still air flowed.

And at the same time

Thud!

bang!

Kwadang!

The people who had stood stiffly lost their minds all at once and fell to the floor.

****

No, but what the hell happened that day?

Thats right. I cant remember anything even though I was there, so strange.

I can definitely remember that there was a gap. But after that

The four people gathered together and looked into each others faces.

All of them were the nobles who were present at the scene.

The Emperor who was dragging Natashas hair, the appearance of the former Empress who was thought to be dead, and Natashas betrayal.

A banquet hall filled with blood and screams.

It was no longer the site of the festival.

Tanatoss July was a brutal and shocking event that disregarded its previous words that it was always a happy festival.

About 20 families, led by Hans Helio, started a rebellion, and even Gertium, the dog of the imperial family, turned around.

The incompetent emperor went crazy, fell ill as a result of using his power recklessly, and was imprisoned for not taking care of the country properly.

Although the emperor was imprisoned, no one protested for him.

Even people were reluctant to even talk about things related to the emperor. The last memories of that day were hazy, but the memories that preceded him were all clear.

The memory of the mad emperor had become something they didnt want to recall, even gossiping about it.

Even the nobles of Tanatos, as well as the envoys from other countries, tabooed the emperor for committing such disgraceful, cruel and terrible things.

It was really funny.

Even in a situation in which the Sunset family, which the emperor was trying to get rid of, had completely collapsed and there was no heir left, there were hundreds of people who wanted to honor and remember the family.

By the way, the former Empress was alive. Im even more surprised by that. Will the Sunset rise again?

But she made it clear that she would not stay in this country?

No, why? I think it would be good if she could be with us because the situation in the country is still in turmoil

Its only from our point of view But I think I can understand it. If it was me I dont think I would want to stay in this country any more.

Is that so? After all she lost everything.

Ha, I think we should just keep quiet and watch the situation. Things are going to change a lot.

All the nobles who survived safely shrugged.

In any case, it was the Helio family that occupied the imperial family now, and they were handling the aftermath of the hellish banquet very quickly and well.

No one could be sure yet what this country would be like, but one thing was certain.

The last person in the imperial family was going to die soon.

Thus, the Tanatos family that led Tanatos was completely destroyed.

***

ha.

A deep, deep dungeon.

It was a very dark and dirty prison where death row inmates who had committed felony crimes were kept.

A woman crouched in the corner muttered and groaned.

In the meantime, the dress that was supposed to be gorgeous was getting old and dirty and had a terrible smell, and the torn spot was tattered, revealing the flesh, but there was nothing to cover it up.

She clasped her knees tightly and whispered again in her venomous voice as she looked at the man lying in the prison cell opposite her.

You look great.

The two staring eyes gleamed horribly as much as the voice that was immersed in silence.

The man, who had been raged at her ridicule, lifted his sunken eyes and looked at the woman.

Natasha.

His voice, as harsh as scratching iron with a skewer, called out to her. Natasha stared at the man, the ragged mate, with her dead eyes. Her eyes, which always glowed warmly, were terribly cold. After losing all her will and hope for life, Natasha had no soul in her eyes.

Die, Gillotti.

Natasha.

youre the worst man Ive ever met.

The man she had been so afraid of was nothing anymore. His splendid beauty was ugly, with only his dry skin remaining.

His eyes, which were shining like jewels, were just as dull as coal in a coal mine covered in gray dust.

Tears welled up in Natashas dry eyes.

Hot tears streamed down her expressionless face.

Gillotti, who had been staring at her quietly, parted his painful torn lips.

You said that you loved me, wasnt it a lie?

Natashas eyes twitched and gathered together.

Hahaha!

With her head bowed, she burst into laughter in a hoarse voice.

Her laughter echoed eerily through the dark dungeon.

You idiot! How can anyone love you, who doesnt know how to love? Do you really think you loved me? Is that really love?

What.?

You just need a girl who can be fooled! Young and beautiful, and accept all of your foolish grudges! We didnt love each other, Gillotti. We just gave each other what we needed!

Tears flowed nonstop from Natashas eyes.

A bitter exhilaration came up as she looked at Gillottis face, which had hardened in shock.

She laughed and cried out loud as if refreshed.

Poor Gillotti.

Poor Natasha.

Were done here.

To die so wretchedly, not being able to get what you desperately wanted.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Natasha had already accepted her own end.

Fortunately, her child was not executed as miserly as she was.

What will happen to the child?

Embracing the stigma of a criminal and being deported, he would have survived nonetheless.

She thought it was lucky.

Im glad.

However 

In her tightly closed eyes, a lump of blood that had not been able to properly breastfeed once fluttered.

The child.

It was a sin to be born in her womb.

Natasha had no family.

She wandered around many relatives houses, and suffered a lot of bad things because of her beauty, which was too great for what she had.

She rolled here and there and rolled back to a body that no one believed in, yet there was one thing.

She loved her children as much as the baby she had created in her womb.

Recalling the small mouth and small hands like maple leaves, she struggled to wish the child would not live a life like she did.

All she knew was dirty tricks, and this was her end.

God damn it.

Natasha bit her lip and looked at Gillotti once more.

I never imagined that the emperor of this country could be worse than me.

Natasha, Natasha.

Gillotti wept bitterly, calling her name.

Natasha shook her head, covering her ears with her hands at the voice of Gillotti, whom she didnt want to hear.

Then the quiet footsteps of someone pushing through the rusted iron door broke that gloomy and damp moment.
