Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 205 The Destroyed Family

Stannis reluctantly retracted his eyes, but at the moment he retracted his gaze, he caught a glimpse of a long, deep and terrifying scar from the woman's earlobe to her neck, and he immediately judged that it was left by a sharp sword down.

But how could such a beautiful woman have such shocking scars?It's like a crack on a beautiful jade, which is an eyesore.

Anya also noticed his surprised eyes, but she was not angry, but stroked the scar lovingly with her hand.

"I said before that I killed people everywhere for revenge, but you never asked why. Don't you want to know the reason?"

Stannis looked away, he knew the woman was going to start talking about her life experience.

The woman slid back and forth across the scar with the back of her hand, and said decisively.

"That's why I avenge it."

Stannis helped her move forward while quietly listening to the story Anya was about to tell. He knew that her life experience must also have gone through hardships.

"I come from a family that has disappeared, and even my surname has been completely destroyed." Anya's simple opening sentence made Stannis smell sad and bloody.

"You don't need to know the surname of this family, because it will only bring you disaster. The so-called Duke Garcia cast the most vicious curse on my family, just like what he did to the previous Duke."

Stannis didn't expect that Anya's identity was so special that she was also born in a nobleman.What on earth had her family done that the duke hated so much?And what happened to the previous duke she said?Why have I never heard of it from anyone else.

"It all started 25 years ago. Garcia, a run-down nobleman from another principality, somehow got the appreciation of the former Duke Griffin. tightly wrapped around the throne of the duke, charmed his mind, gnawed at his power, and finally strangled all the families sitting on it to death. On the eve of the demise of the Griffin family, the last son of the duke was sent to my family I need shelter, and my father, the most loyal lord in Tanis, swore to the death to defend the last trace of the Golden Griffin's blood, but because of this, he was exterminated."

Stannis felt a chill down his back. Although he was leaning against the cold wall, he did not expect that the political struggle of the Westlanders was so cruel, and it had begun to rise to the point of killing a family at every turn.

"But my father is powerful, and he himself enjoys the title of Yum. Garcia has always been afraid of his reputation, so he took the initiative to come to the dinner to show his favor and express his willingness to treat the orphan of the previous Duke generously. Of course, my father hopes to keep his status. The only blood of the Liffin family. But Garcia, the most cunning snake, has already set up the most vicious plot."

"That was a night 15 years ago, and I will never forget that day. At the banquet blessed by the name of the gods, he openly violated the iron rule of no use of force at the banquet, and secretly asked his subordinates to lead him to slaughter Troops of the Black Watch sneaked into the city and carried out an operation of destruction, killing everyone they encountered. They called this massacre a 'holiday hunt.' I will never forget that night, the whole castle was full of crying and The screams, my mother and sister were tortured to death by those beasts, my brothers' heads were strung on spears and paraded through the streets, and my father, he tried his best to fight a tight encirclement to kill the Duke at last His only son died of exhaustion after being delivered safely."

"And I..." Anya touched the scar next to her ear again, "Maybe it's the blessings of the gods. After being hit by this fatal sword, I passed out and survived."

"Too...too cruel." It took Stannis a while to say this, and he was even more moved by Anya, because the poor family background of a helpless woman can always touch the softest part of a man's heart.

Anya didn't speak anymore. Of course, she couldn't tell her how she woke up from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood in no clothes, and faced the tragedy of the entire family being wiped out overnight.No one survived the collapsed castle, there were severed heads and corpses falling on the trees everywhere, only the crows hovered above, enjoying the feast of human flesh.

"So all you do is to avenge your enemy?" Stannis said distressedly, a weak woman like her should not bear such hatred.

Anya nodded, she wiped her eyes a little, tears wet the mud on her face, making her look even more pitiful.

"But apart from Garcia, you seem to be shooting like someone else." Stannis heard Evelyn say it last time, and it seems that Anya's target is Blackwatch.

"Yes, although the poisonous snake cannot be let go, its evil fangs must also be pulled out. I remembered the faces of the soldiers who tortured and killed my family that night, so I passed the test under the Nine Towers and became a After becoming a high-level illusionist, I immediately returned to Tanis to start my revenge. Since Garcia has now become the Duke, his defense is extremely strict, and every action can only accidentally injure his bodyguards but has no effect on him, so I Decided to change the method and start with the black watch who did the dirty work for him first, those soldiers back then have now become the respective leaders of this army, and my hatred for them has not diminished in the slightest." Anya said through gritted teeth , Her eyes flashed with vengeful anger.

"So, you launched several bombing operations in the royal city, and the targets were those officers?"

Anya nodded, "The last time I was caught in your castle was because I killed a second lieutenant from the Black Watch nearby. He was the culprit who tortured my second sister to death. I used the Desperate Curse to force him to tell everything. To know the reason why Garcia was able to rise rapidly, but he didn't expect that he knew very little, he was just a hateful pawn."

"Then you have killed so many Blackwatch officers so far, won't Duke Garcia be alerted?"

Anya pointed to her face with a sly look in her eyes, "That's why I choose to be an illusionist. Every time I kill someone, I will completely transform into another person, male and female, so as not to arouse their anger." Suspicions arose from thinking that it was the same person who started the attack."

"Oh, it would be interesting to change from male to female..." Stannis couldn't help having a bold idea.

"But although I have killed so many people, I have never found the person I want to kill the most." Anya sighed softly, she seemed to be very persistent about it.
