Letter from Duke Julius Silver Leucophyllum. 03/19/1343

Dear Miss,

The receptionist Maya of the merchants' guild told me very well about you, she said that you were interested in buying my property, so I am contacting you to ask you to come to my main residence on 22/03, to discuss about my mansion.

I hope you agree! I will be looking forward to your visit,

Sincerely,

Duke Julius Silver Leucophyllum.

Will you forgive me for that? Or not yet, Lina?

On the night of 03/20/1343 a massacre occurred, with the agitation by the princess's arrival, more than two thousand commoners were killed by the horsemen of the empire being accused of attempted terrorism, the commoners looked like cattle heading towards slaughter, a really merciless action ... that day became known as 'The night of the moon in red' a totally memorable day.

The next morning, about two hundred thousand commoners took to the streets to express their anger and sadness to those responsible for the massacre.

Both the nobles and the king were agitated in the palace, trying to get into a consent of what action would be better to take in relation to the people, if they took drastic measures doing another massacre, they would probably end up causing the ruin of the Country itself ... seventy percent of the demonstration is made up of men, 5/7 of those men have an essential job for the order and prosperity of the Empire, if at least twenty percent of them died the Empire would enter a huge economic crisis. With little labor, essential services would accumulate and prices would rise, exports would decrease with a lack of labor and imports would increase, and the commercial values ​​passed on to the population would also increase, the amount of coins in circulation within the country. country would grow, and without a real change in the value of the currency inflation would increase and the national and international devaluation of the currency too, more than 40 thousand families would die of hunger and the other countries would end up having to intervene in politics within the country in order to avoid further deaths.

To scare away the commoners is a temporary measure, they would probably end up returning to the streets and continue their demonstration. The best way to calm the anger of this bunch of commoners is ... by making their wish come true.

On the night of March 21, the king left his palace and issued a very important statement.

"Tomorrow, Ex-Vice Captain Marie Edelvaisse will be publicly executed for the crime of commanding the murder of more than two thousand people."

Without insisting too much, the commoners began to disperse and return to their duties, with an expression of satisfaction on their faces. They did not want justice for the dead, they just wanted the feeling of having a slight wish fulfilled ... To send someone to death. Those who wanted true justice did not have the courage to insist on it, the fear of dying was greater.

While this chain of hideous events was taking place, I was inside the house watching the events through the window without intervening, but it seems that Lina did not like my decision.

"Why didn't you do anything, aren't you a goddess?" No tears came out of her eyes, but I could tell how sad she was.

"I cannot interfere with humanity's decisions".

"So why do you exist? If you can't stop a person from dying, what's the point of being alive."

"Alice, explain to me, what is a God for?" Lina had extremely sad eyes, eyes that a child should not have.

Love, sadness ... Did I ever win her heart?

I got up from the chair and leaned my left hand against the cold glass of the window.

"I am a goddess, a goddess of evil, a God who serves to take the blame for all the evils of humanity, if something bad happens ... It is my fault".

"My job is to fulfill wishes, and when your time comes, you will understand ... what a goddess's job is like."

I moved away from the window and walked towards Lina, Lina had her head down with her hair hiding her eyes and her hands tightening her dress, just like when we met, I stopped in front of her and put my left hand on top of her head and said it.

"I am a Goddess, at least one person I can save".

Lina raised her head and asked me "What are you going to do, Alice?"

I smiled slightly and replied "I'm going to save someone, now ... ".

After I said Lina passed out, I briefly put my cane inside my sanctuary, then I carried Lina to her bed.

" Goodnight ".

[ is the phrase I use when using sleep magic. For the sleep magic to work, physical contact with the target is necessary, the duration of the sleep magic depends on the user's ability with magic and the target's mentality, the stronger the target's mentality, the less time he will be asleep. .].

Lina will probably be sleeping for two days, she will not be able to accompany me to the Duke's house, as I had already imagined. If I take half a liter of blood from her now ... I don't think she'll notice.

While Lina was sleeping I drew half a liter of blood from her with a syringe, and she didn't wake up.

I kept a bag of Lina's blood inside my sanctuary and sat next to her on the bed, waiting for the Duke to meet me.

I am a goddess of evil, a goddess born from a human womb, someone who was born to be blamed for all the sins committed by living beings in exchange for immortality, a worthy punishment for someone whose only wish is death. ... A really scary Goddess.
