"Yayoi-kun, you're truly amazing, to know even this! We at the police force are very grateful for your help." The fat, hat-wearing police officer's eyes shone with excitement. Altho...

Chapter 110 Revenge from Hell

Chapter 110 Revenge from Hell

Monterey

Bal's mother, Princess Lionel, rushed to the hospital by helicopter. She was a beautiful woman who looked only 30 years old. Time seemed to have been particularly kind to her, without leaving too many wrinkles on her body.

"Baal, my child, is he okay?" Princess Lionel held the doctor's hand, and crystal clear tears slid down her face and fell on their clasped hands.

The doctor shook his head in embarrassment. "Your Highness, we will do our best, but the situation is not good. Please be prepared. Even if he wakes up, many of Master Baal's body functions will be affected."

Hearing this, Lionel cried silently. Her beautiful face was like the most beloved work of the Creator, and it made people shudder. No one had the heart to tell this noble mother that even if her child woke up, he would only be a useless person lying in bed for the rest of his life.

"It would be enough if Bal could wake up and talk to me, doctor, please..." Leonardo's eyes were incredibly red, her lips trembling, trying to gain a little rationality from the great sorrow.

The doctor nodded awkwardly, "Princess, we will do our best." But in fact, it was unlikely that even Bal would wake up and say goodbye to his mother.

Seeing the doctor's reaction, Lionel, who already realized that Bal was beyond help, squatted down with her face covered. Her sad sobs flowed out from between her fingers, making anyone who heard it cry.

Elizabeth stood quietly by the side and watched this scene, the resentment and bitterness in her heart flowing along with her tears. He Jing Yayoi stood beside her, holding her hand, shielding her from the crowd's view.

Elizabeth wiped away her tears and laughed sarcastically, "How ridiculous, God. She easily chose to take my mother away, making me bear the stigma of killing my mother, and now she is afraid of losing her own child."

"She took other people's lives with such ease, never thinking that misfortune would one day befall her. She already had so much happiness, but she was unwilling to give me even a little bit of joy."

He Jing Yayoi looked into the distance and saw that Baal's soul had already flown out. He circled Lionel three times, as if saying his final goodbye.

"Life is never equal. Only death grants equality to everyone. As long as death exists, all lives are equal in the face of death."

Elizabeth looked at Kazukage Yayoi and murmured, "You are right. I used to think that death was an enemy I wanted to defeat and the most painful experience in my life. But now I think that it is precisely because of death that these disloyal and unjust people have the possibility of being punished."

"If Baal hadn't died, Lionel would never have known the pain I was experiencing."

Elizabeth murmured and touched her eyes. She still remembered her tenth birthday party.

It was a sunny day, and although the manor had lost its former prosperity, it was still rich and harmonious. There were not many servants, but everyone got along like a family, sitting together for meals, and it was lively and ordinary.

Helena held Elizabeth in her arms, sitting on a rocking chair in the garden, humming softly. It was Elizabeth's birthday party in the evening, and not many people came, but her mother still wanted to give her the best, so she took her to sit on a chair and open her presents. Paulino came in the morning, brought some gifts, and left in a hurry.

"Mom, this butterfly is so beautiful." Elizabeth supported her head with both hands, her calves shaking.

Helena picked up the specimen of the blue morpho butterfly in front of her. The specimen stayed at the most beautiful moment of the butterfly, and it would spread its wings and fly in almost the next second. Helena gently touched Elizabeth's head, "This is a gift from Waldman. He heard that you like plants and animals."

Elizabeth looked up at the specimen in her mother's hand. "It's a pity that it's dead. I don't know what it looks like when it moves. Also, I want to see the real lizard in the book you told me yesterday. And, I want to see that fir tree too!"

Helena chuckled and put the gift down. "Then Elizabeth, when you grow up, you will become a zoologist and botanist. Then you can see the creatures in the books."

Elizabeth frowned. "But my father said that I am not ladylike enough and I will never find a good family. Last time, Barr also said that I am vulgar and should not call him 'Daddy' but 'Father'."

Helena paused in her rocking chair, a trace of dissatisfaction and resentment flashed in her eyes, but she still said to Elizabeth as gently as possible: "Because we are blocking the princess's way, Elizabeth. Most of your father's lovers were daughters of his subordinates. Only Lionel and I have some status."

"I have followed your father for so many years and have calculated so many lives for him. Even if I lost my ability later, there is no reason for him to attack me."

"As a princess of a country, Lionel originally married your father. Now not only can she not be the legal wife, but she is also on an equal footing with me. Naturally, she thinks we are in the way."

Helena touched her eyes. Her ability had not disappeared, but every time she divined, she could feel the passing of her life. She wanted to stay with Elizabeth for a few more years, at least until she got married, had children, and had a stable life.

So she lied to Paulino and told him that she was physically damaged during childbirth and no longer had the strength to continue fortune-telling.

Fortunately, the Francisco family was already on the right track at that time, and Paulino no longer needed to work hard every day, so her selfishness naturally had no impact. Paulino also had no intention of forcing her to do divination.

She was very satisfied with her current life. Paulino only provided money, not help, and she lived a rich and healthy life. Because of her previous contributions, the Francisco family still respected her and did not mean to treat her harshly because Paulino did not come.

This is her dream life, and she lives happily every day.

But now, she had a bad feeling. Lionel was becoming more and more hostile to her. She had encountered assassins who wanted to assassinate her several times before, but she had discovered and stopped them in time. Although she had told Paulino about these things, it seemed that Paulino had no intention of caring.

That's right. After all, Lionel is a princess of a country. Compared with her, a psychic who was born a tenant farmer and walked the streets doing fortune-telling, even a three-year-old child would know who she should choose.

She hugged Elizabeth tightly. After today, she would do divination again. At least, she had to calculate Elizabeth's safety.

————

Elizabeth was wearing a yellow princess dress and a red bow in her hair, which Helena had sewn for her and she liked it very much.

"Mom? Are you in the room? The party is about to start~" Elizabeth knocked on the door. Her birthday party was about to start, but her mother had not shown up.

"Mother?"

Elizabeth knocked on the door again, but she didn't get a response from her mother. She felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart, and there was a very unpleasant smell in the air, just like the smell when Bai Bai cut open the belly of her rabbit.

She waited for a long time but received no answer from her mother. She could not wait any longer and threw aside the aristocratic etiquette and opened the door and went in.

There was a small pile of blood on the bed. Helena lay on the bed with her eyes closed. Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief. Her mother was still there. She smiled and walked forward. "Mom, are you okay? Did you get up too early in the morning? Now..."

Elizabeth was choking on her words. Helena's eyes were not closed at all. Her eyes were dug out and her eyelids, without eyeballs, could only cover her eye sockets in vain. It was like a bottomless dry well, dark and terrifying.

Elizabeth's scream was strangled in her mouth. She staggered forward, "Mom...Mom...wake up..."

Helena, who was seriously injured and unconscious, heard Elizabeth's cry in a daze. She tentatively reached out her hand and touched Elizabeth's face, "Elizabeth... do you see a golden gem on the ground?"

Although she didn't know why her mother cared about a gem at this time, Elizabeth still lay on the ground after hearing it, and finally took out a round gem from under the bedside table with great effort, "Mom, yes, here..." She placed the gem in Helena's palm.

Helena stroked the gem in her hand, which was the eye she dug out and hid after being attacked. She then held Elizabeth's face and said with a weak voice: "Elizabeth... remember, mom loves you... mom will always love you. Remember... don't believe... anyone's words, disguise yourself... and don't pray to God easily."

Elizabeth's eyes widened. She didn't understand what her mother was saying, but she still answered subconsciously: "Okay, Mom, I'll do it..."

"ah!!!!"

The next second, great pain swept over Elizabeth. She covered her eyes and screamed miserably, but Helena pressed her finger against her throat, so she could only whimper. It hurt so much that she wanted to bite it, but stopped after touching her mother's finger. Her tears flowed down her cheeks and onto the back of Helena's hand. She felt her mother trembling, and that trembling made her calm down.

Helena murmured, and there was no usual tenderness in her hollow eyes. She was like a devil in hell, grasping at the last hope before death, "Elizabeth, Mom loves you, please don't hate me..."

"Elizabeth... don't be that butterfly I was this morning..."

"Elizabeth...Mom wants you to be happy...but you have to learn to survive first..."

"Elizabeth..."

Helena murmured, perhaps she herself did not know what she was saying. She gathered her last breath and sat up. She forcefully stuffed the egg-sized gem into Elizabeth's eye socket. The inhuman torture almost made Elizabeth faint. She stared and held Helena tightly. Blood, tears, she could no longer tell what the water stains on her skirt were, but she knew that it was pain, it was death, it was the nightmare of her life.

It was also the last time she met her mother.

Before she fell into a coma, she recalled the meeting between her father and her this morning. At that time, the look in her father's eyes when he looked at her mother was like a regret that an item was about to be destroyed.

Ah, so that's how it is. Compared to the useless mother, the father finally chose Lionel, whose position was more stable?

Her mother didn't want her to become a specimen, but now, Elizabeth felt as if her father had pierced her heart with a huge nail, and then she was nailed to the wall. Standing under the wall were Paulino, Lionel and Bal. They laughed and made noises, looking up at her struggling on the wall, and finally losing her voice.

She has become the butterfly that can no longer fly.

Elizabeth opened her eyes and saw Kazukage Yayoi with a worried expression. She curled her lips and smiled: "I'm fine now, God. My revenge is over." She looked at Lionel and took back the medicine bottle in her hand.

Not far away, Lionel spat out a mouthful of blood, and then died along with Bal in the ward.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as we turn other people into specimens as well, it will be fine.
