Chapter 52: El Cid, the Death Knight [9] - Invitation to War
Ordonez calls out to Chimene and says exactly what he had planned. Upon hearing all this, Chimene couldn't help but fall to the ground and weep in grief.
"Chimene, you can't let your father be unavenged…," Ordonez consoles the fallen Chimene, whose cries knew no bounds. Her face was entirely drenched in tears.
"Father… Father…," she rested her head on his chest, which was covered in blood, staining her own hair.
"Your father fought bravely till the end. But Rodrigo was strong. He showed no mercy and, using the very blade which you had gifted your father, he stabbed him!"
"Once again I saw, Chimene, you cannot let your father be unavenged… Rodrigo must be taught a lesson! He must be given appropriate punishment for his crimes!"
Chimene loved two people… Gormaz, and Rodrigo… and today, for her, both of them died.
