Chapter 193: Chapter 135 What is Rose Vesper (5000)

The starry sky outside the window was as calm as ever.

Twin moons hung in the night sky, everything was the same as any other day, yet Qin Chu had a feeling that a power from the Void was seeping into this world.

Who was praying to the Void?

...

The next day.

The incident involving Karthas had been fully exposed, under the deliberate propaganda of the Holy Court, everyone in the Imperial City was talking about Karthas’s actions, how a former member of the Hero Team had succumbed to filthy dark power and gone out of control, slaughtering three thousand two hundred Holy Knights defending the borders against demons.

This event caused a massive uproar.

Members of the Hero Team were always seen following the Hero, earning great fame in the war against demons. Normally, one would hardly imagine such atrocities could occur with such distinguished individuals.

But since it happened to Death Knight Karthas, everything seemed somehow justified.

After all, it was well known that this Death Knight was tainted with dark power, even killing his own parents, siblings... Even killing his own flesh and blood, what was killing some unrelated Holy Knights to him? It was not strange at all.

The First Generation Brave’s judgment of people seemed not so great after all...

Right now, the Holy Court and the Empire have formed a joint investigation team, probing if Karthas has committed any other crimes. It was rumored that some findings had emerged, such as Karthas stealing woman’s stockings.

All will be invited to attend the public trial upon the conclusion of the investigation.

In comparison to the slaughter of the Holy Knights, people seemed more interested in the public trial of Karthas.

After all, Karthas held a prestigious position; he was a Titled Knight with tremendous strength, such a figure appearing on the scaffold was not a sight readily seen.

It was bound to be thrilling.

Angelica walked down the street with Karlin as voices around them made Angelica frown slightly and shake her head.

She felt no pity for Karthas, for this Death Knight had once attacked her master twice. In Angelica’s eyes, Karthas’s death was well-deserved.

Yet, the reaction of the people around her still made her sigh. After all, Karthas had also greatly contributed to the war against demons. He was known to be ferocious in battle. It was said that Karthas possessed a special power, allowing him to absorb the energy released at the demons’ death during his killings, continuously replenishing his own energy and sustaining him for prolonged fights.

The number of demons Karthas had killed might not match that of Asina, the Great Sage, but it was far more than the other members. How many? Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands?

Who knows.

But now, nobody remembered the contributions of Karthas; they were just excited for the prospect of witnessing the execution of a powerful and revered figure.

Miss Violet once said that this world had decayed.

At the time, Angelica thought it was maybe an overstatement, but now it seemed, this world had indeed rotten to the core.

However, these matters had nothing to do with her. The current Angelica was just a little maid affectionately called Angelica by her master. Her job was to serve her master well, and aside from this, she had nothing to do with any other affairs and had no interest in them.

There was a time when Angelica hoped that she could reclaim her identity as the Holy Daughter.

But now, the title of Holy Daughter held no charm for her whatsoever.

If she became the Holy Daughter, she would have to stay in the Temple every day, unable to stay by her master’s side, unable to assist her master with bathing, making the bed.

She would need to constantly mind the etiquette of the Holy Daughter, unable to curl up in her master’s arms like a little kitten during her free time, an idea wholly unacceptable to Angelica.

Although she sometimes felt a bit lonely when her master left, this feeling of waiting for her master to return could also be a form of happiness.

"Angelica, what are you laughing at?" Karlin noticed Angelica’s smile and asked.

Karlin had slept very uncomfortably last night, with dark circles under her eyes.

Helplessly, even though Angelica had prepared a spacious room for her, with a soft mattress and blankets, all of this was too luxurious for Karlin.

She lay stiffly on the bed, not daring to move for fear of accidentally tearing the soft, comfortable fabric. She even refrained from closing her eyes, worried that once she fell asleep and woke up, she would find herself lying on the cold stone slabs by the street again.

But Karlin showed no signs of tiredness whatsoever; everything she saw was incredibly beautiful, unlike anything she had ever seen before.

She was wearing a new little dress and a pair of very comfortable boots that Angelica had just bought for her, the clothes alone costing hundreds of Mana, an amount beyond Karlin’s comprehension.

That morning, she had even tasted milk and bread.

Hearing Karlin’s timid voice, Angelica gently laughed and patted her head, "Nothing, let’s go, I’ll take you to get your hair done."

As she spoke, Angelica took Karlin’s small hand and walked forward, but she had barely taken two steps when her brow furrowed again.

Just ahead, she saw two figures... they were nuns from the Holy Court, Mandy and Philippa, both subordinates of Rose Vesper.
