Accidentally Killed

As they floated down with the help of Lucia's magic, Evan lost his temper when he saw Lucian kick the Werewolf. He stepped on and threw him into the pack of werewolves.

Besides the Bird-Man, Goblin, Orc Races, Evan had seen the Werewolf and Chimera Races for the first time. The Werewolf race has a stocky body, the head of a wolf, walks on two legs, and its body is covered with fur.

Whereas the Chimera Race looked very much like the Human Race, if they didn't have tails and horns growing on their heads, maybe Evan wouldn't be able to tell them apart from humans.

"Lucian! Don't kill them, didn't I tell you not to use force to interrogate them?" An enraged Evan immediately jumped down from Piwood's shoulder and asked Lucian not to continue attacking.

Evan could see that Lucian's expression was angry as he looked at the 2 people he had thrown into one of the wagons. But when Lucian turned his body towards Evan, his expression suddenly changed as if he didn't want Evan to see his angry face.

"Ah, I'm sorry, My King. Even though I've tried not to act like this, but I really can't stand to beat up some lowly creature on my own." Lucian smiled while scratching the back of his head.

Evan didn't know what the Werewolf and Chimera did to Lucian to make him attack them.

"What did they do to make you go against my orders?!"

Lucian looked cynically at all the monsters in front of him. That gaze made all the monsters look down in fear.

Because Lucian had recognized Evan as his king and had made all of Evan's words an order for him. Lucian also gave the reason why he disobeyed Evan's orders.

"Their wounds aren't that bad, but they insist on treating them first. And that irritates me, and they should be eaten by the Abyss Monster." Lucian pointed at some of the monsters that had more severe injuries.

Evan tried to be a good king who would listen to his subordinates' reasons for doing something.

When Evan saw what Lucian had shown, he was shocked by the gruesome sight.

Creatures of various races were seen lying limp in the wagon. It seemed they were brought by their comrades who weren't affected by the Cursed Sword to ask someone in Darkness Castle for help.

Those lying in the wagons looked so skinny they even looked like bones wrapped in skin.

"Their state looks the same as when Prince tried to draw the Cursed Sword." Piwood explained his opinion.

"Yes, they were affected by the Cursed Sword." Evan regretted that his carelessness had made the innocent inhabitants of the Dark Forest miserable.

Evan's remorse grew even more after he learned that the victims were not only grown monsters, but their children were also not spared from the Cursed Sword's greed.

"Th-it must be you, Master Piwood! P-please heal my son, he was already emaciated by the time I got home." A woman who looked healthy from the Chimera Race ran and knelt before Piwood to ask for help. It was as if the real Piwood they were aiming for was to help them.

The woman completely ignored Lucian's words not to act selfishly. And that made Lucian a little angry, but when he heard that the woman asked for help for her child and saw Piwood approaching the woman, Lucian stopped his intention.

Piwood tried to open the cloth the woman was carrying. However, Piwood just shook his head when he saw her child's condition. "Forgive me."

Evan walked a few steps back, saw a mother crying and hugging her dead child. The incident was really heartbreaking. Plus, what caused it to happen was because of him.

'Unlucky! I didn't think it would get this bad.' Evan's steadfast spirit immediately dropped because it wasn't a terrible event like this that he expected when he became strong.

Amid his deep regret, a gentle pat on his head managed to bring back Evan's chaotic mind.

"What has happened, let it happen. We can't change or repeat it. But we can change what will happen in the future. Aren't you determined to take responsibility?" Lucia sweetly smiled as Evan looked at her.

Lucia was secretly reading Evan's heart as he took a few steps back. Evan's words of regret kept on repeating. And that made Lucia want to encourage her king.

"Are you reading my heart?" Although annoyed that Lucia heard his regret, he was happy because her support really helped restore his mood.

"Ehe, I overheard it." Lucia acted innocent and pretended it was an unintentional act to avoid Evan's anger.

"Huff, since you've encouraged me, I'll forgive you this time... Then what do you want to do to heal them all? Do you want to use Chaste Healing?"
