The Return Of The Villainous Saint
Chapter 4. You are free
Lucian's vision was slightly blurred because of tears.
He blinked and squinted his eyes, trying to identify the intruder.
Before him was an unfamiliar person.
Seemingly to blend in the shadows, the person was a woman dressed in dark clothes.
She wore a large black hat that covered almost half of her face.
Wisps of smoke came from her lips, she seemed to have been smoking.
Lucian had no idea who the person was.
But, he understood at first glance that this strange woman was dangerous.
???
Hmm, I thought you were lost. But you seemed not to be.
Lucian
What nonsense are you talking about?
???
You are asking the unnecessary things.
???
Either way, lost children must be led back from the strayed path.
The woman stretched out her gloved hands and her long nails made a scrapping sound in the metallic rails.
The moment she touched the iron bars, it suddenly bent and disintegrated to ashes.
Those metal bars that had imprisoned him and separated him from the bright outside world...
broke apart just like that...
The woman smoked her cigar and exhaled fumes.
Lucian did not know if it was his imagination, but he seemed to see the threads of smoke entering the widely opened prison cell.
The magical iron chains that restricted him fell apart, and shattered into pieces.
Lucian restrained his shock expression and still looked at the strange woman with guarded eyes.
The woman only stared at him for a second before turning her back.
She started to walk away.
Her ethereal voice, unaffected by her smoking, echoed in the corridor.
Lucian forced himself to stand up. His numbed legs trembled, but he ignored it as he hurried after the woman.
As he walked, he controlled the divine energy in his body to heal all his internal injuries.
Without those magical iron chains, Lucian could now freely use his healing powers.
The strange woman led the way.
She walked with grace and elegance.
Lucian
You won't really tell me who you are?
Both of them walked out of the underground prison unimpeded.
As they walked into the manor, and on the way to the gate...
It was only now that Lucian noticed the weird silence in the surroundings.
There were no guards, no maid, no servants... No one.
Her black hat hid away her expression, and Lucian could only see her lips moving.
???
What matters, I think...
???
Is what you shall do from now on.
A glint flashed in Lucian's eyes.
Lucian
There's a more important thing...
He lowered his eyelids, concealing all the stormy emotions he thought had faded away ever since his mother's death.
He thought he did not care anymore...
Putting all blame on himself... That he deserved all of these...
His heart tucked away all of his true feelings under the guise of emptiness and self-reproach.
He just needed one chance...
For all of these brewing emotions
To let all hell break loose.
