Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Elsa blinked.

That feeling then disappeared.

It's probably just my imagination.

A smile appeared on her pale face.

"Hey buddy, you're still alive!"

Her gaze fell on Subaru Natsuki's empty left sleeve.

"I'm so sorry you lost an arm because of this~"

Despite saying that, apart from that ever-present sickly smile, there was no trace of remorse on her face.

Natsuki Subaru didn't respond to her words, but instead looked at the wounds on her body.

"Elsa, who inflicted these injuries on you?"

"That pink-haired maid."

Elsa gently shook her bound wrists, her expression calm as if the wounds weren't on her own body.

"Yesterday, in order to interrogate me and find out who was behind everything, she used magic to suppress my healing abilities. Otherwise, these wounds of mine should have healed long ago."

Capela remained completely unmoved upon hearing this.

She wasn't worried that Elsa would reveal anything about the organization.

They don't have the guts!

Natsuki Subaru's eyes widened.

"Ram?"

"She was that ruthless?"

Natsuki Subaru sighed.

It seems that these important figures all have a twisted side.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the marks and bruises on Elsa's body from the whipping.

Natsuki Subaru seemed to see himself being beaten to death by Zhang Fei for not being able to pronounce the three words "Master" correctly.

"How could someone have treated such a good heroine like this?"

Elsa was slightly taken aback.

She actually saw pity in Natsuki Subaru's eyes.

She was certain that it was not feigned pity, but genuine regret.

In an instant, something gently touched her heart.

But then, her heart turned cold again.

In her eyes, Subaru Natsuki and that pink-haired maid were in cahoots.

This was probably just a charade put on by Subaru Natsuki and that pink-haired maid in front of him.

One plays the bad cop, and the other plays the good cop.

First, let the pink-haired maid torture her until she was covered in bruises, then let Subaru Natsuki come over and pretend to be kind.

Is this method used to deceive intelligence?

He really is a cunning young man.

Chapter 48: 048. It's this chaotic world that ruined you!

"If you hadn't caught me, I wouldn't be in this state now."

Elsa laughed, feeling that she had just exposed the truth.

Subaru Natsuki will probably stop feigning sympathy.

To her surprise, Subaru Natsuki's face didn't show any anger or embarrassment. Instead, he appeared even more compassionate, and said, his words trembling, "..."

"Heroine, it's not that I, Natsuki Subaru, have harmed you, it's that this chaotic world has harmed you."

Elsa was slightly surprised upon hearing this; this person had a thick skin.

It would be perfectly normal for him to say that he was acting in self-defense.

Blaming the world from the start, even mentioning "chaotic times"... isn't that a bit...?

But it must be said that this sentence did indeed trigger Elsa's associations.

Having fallen to such a state, her fate was essentially sealed.

[Mom] will definitely not come to save her again; that person never cares about the life or death of children who fail in their missions.

Mary...that child...made her feel a lot like herself when she was a child without parents...so she subconsciously treated the child gently.

The two have always had a good relationship.

Although Mary might come to rescue him, she certainly wouldn't be capable enough.

She will likely only lose her life amidst endless interrogation.

Elsa understood that their current predicament wasn't Subaru's fault...

Blame it on her not having parents...

Blame it on her for resorting to theft in order to survive...

Blame it on the shop manager who caught her stealing, tried to take advantage of her, and ended up having his intestines ripped out instead...

Blame it on the fact that it was really cold that day, and the sausages splashed on her were really warm...

Blame...blame the [mother] who trained her to be an assassin...

This world is the one that's ruined you...

Ha...it seems he really saw right through me...

Elsa's smile was tinged with bitterness. Wasn't her life reduced to this state a result of the world's persecution?

At any given point, as long as you encounter a good person...

She wouldn't...

Natsuki Subaru saw that Elsa was silent, but did not continue to explain.

He stood still and looked around, and soon noticed a short-handled axe left over from the interrogation lying by the wall.

Natsuki Subaru walked over, bent down, and picked up the axe.

The axe blade was still stained with dark red blood, probably from when Ram used it last night.

Elsa noticed Subaru's actions.

Looking at the axe, his smile deepened.

Despite his sympathy, Natsuki Subaru still came to interrogate and take revenge.

This is normal. If someone cut off her arm, she would definitely do the same thing.

Even if she admires someone of her own kind, if that person cuts off her arm, she will try every means to cut open their stomach and pull out their intestines inch by inch.

Appreciation and revenge are never in conflict.

But it's for the best, to die at the hands of a man who shared her heart and understood her...

Perhaps it was because of her heinous life...

The best ending...

Capela stood at the back, watching all of this with a cold eye.

They showed absolutely no remorse for the impending persecution of their children.

On the contrary, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Sure enough.

Those words of sympathy and talk about the chaotic world were just pretentious rhetoric used by Subaru Natsuki.

In the end, he still decided to take revenge on Elsa for losing her arm.

She made no attempt to stop it.

Natsuki Subaru, carrying an axe, walked step by step towards Elsa.

Only the sound of shoes stepping on stone slabs remained in the dungeon.

Elsa did not beg for mercy, nor did the smile on her face disappear.

But as she watched the axe blade approach her hands, which were tied behind the chair, her fingers involuntarily curled up.

She cut off Natsuki Subaru's left arm, so Natsuki Subaru was also preparing to cut off her hand.

fair enough.

As Elsa thought this, her breath still paused for a moment.

She likes intestines and enjoys watching others suffer.

I thought I could calmly accept my wounds or death.

But it was, after all, a whole arm, one of the most important limbs of a human being...

Finally, Elsa subconsciously turned her head to the side, closed her eyes, and her body trembled slightly.

She kept telling herself:

'That's good, that's good.'

Subaru Natsuki had stopped and raised his axe high.

The next instant, the axe blade slammed down.

boom!

The thick rope binding Elsa's hands snapped instantly.

The smile that had just appeared on Capela's lips froze.

Elsa opened her eyes.

The expected pain did not occur.

Elsa looked down at her unharmed hands, then at the ropes scattered on the ground, momentarily bewildered as to what had happened.

Subaru Natsuki threw down his axe and reached out to pull Elsa's purple wrists from behind the chair.

He did not continue cutting the ropes binding Elsa's legs.

Elsa looked up at Subaru Natsuki.

"Hey buddy, what... are you going to do?"

"I'll untie you."

Subaru Natsuki answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Elsa was even more confused.

"Then why did you only untie the ones on your hands?"

"Feel sorry."

Natsuki Subaru said in a very serious tone:

"The ropes on your legs can't be untied. If I untie your legs, you'll turn around and run away. How am I supposed to drink with you then?"

Capela: "..."

Elsa: "..."

Capela's eyes twitched slightly.

Did she mishear?

What to drink?

Is alcohol meant to be drunk?
