Demon Tribe (11)
Hearing the engagement of a hateful little boy through Emilia’s mouth, Kalinda suddenly felt that the time had come upon her.
She was just forgotten and realized that her love was of no use.
Those years. After terrible years of pain, Kalinda was seized with uncontrollable anger when she remembered that she was being forgotten, trapped in a dirty and narrow tower.
So she finally made the wish.
She said she would make a wish to free himself and sacrifice the emperor as she wished if she could release this chain and restore her power.
“Now, baby, tell me. What do you want?”
A cold smile came to Kalinda’s face. She was always hoping for it. However, she could not make an offering that was worthy of her wish.
“I want revenge, mother. I will sacrifice the body and soul of the emperor.”
Kalinda looked at the red lady with a blood-soaked face. The sight of the red lady’s small mouth and her sharp teeth was always terrible, but at this moment it was ecstatic.
“Bring me the neck of Cecil.”
The red lady’s hissing laughter came out of her mouth. Kalinda came out of the tower’s prison with the red lady.

It was a fact that every imperial wizard knew that a curse was hanging on the chain of the second empress Kalinda. The curse was linked to a statue placed on one side of the wizard’s room.
When the curse of the chain is lifted or broken, the statue is broken.
When the statue broke with a loud noise, the wizards informed the guards. The Knights and soldiers of the Imperial Palace guarding the abandoned palace headed to the tower loudly.
It was midnight, but there was a gatekeeper in front of the tower. As he was dozing off, he was surprised by the royal knight’s command.
He hurriedly opened the entrance to the tower and knights and soldiers went into it.
There was a narrow window next to the stairs to the top floor. The torch was held in the hands of the previous soldier, so a bright red flame seemed to rise upward and upward.
Finally, the knight who climbed to the top floor opened the locked prison door. It was just black and dark inside, so he couldn’t see anything.
Whoosh!
Someone lit a lamp in the prison. In a moment, the inside brightened and the body lying on the floor was revealed.
“Hm…”
Frowning at the bad smell, the knigh5 gave a chin to his subordinate. One of the knights approached Kalinda’s body. The knight, who lowered his posture to check if he was breathing, looked at his superior.
“I think she’s dead.”
“Is it a sudden death?”
That was all he could think of. On the surface, she wore a white dress that had long been worn and discolored yellow.
A woman who was born as a princess of a precious duchy was trapped in the tower for more than a decade.
“… It won’t be too late to report to Your Highness tomorrow morning.”
S-sir!
It was a voice coming up from down there. The Knight Commander turned to the prison door wondering what was going on. A subordinate said in a breathtaking voice, perhaps running up from down there to tell the news.
“The First Imperial Household…”… Your highness…”
“The f-first empress… Her Highness…”
What happened to the 2nd and the 1st? The Knight Commander looked at his subordinate, thinking that he was somehow uncomfortable.
What he expected was that she died of a heart attack or chronic disease, such as a second empress. They, sinners, have never been treated since they were trapped.
“I’m told… that the demons have eaten her!”
The Knight Commander’s face was embarrassed by what his subordinate shouted. The raids of soldiers, sergeants, and demons were a different matter.
“What kind of demons are there?”
“But… the guard saw…”
The Knight Commander hurried in contemplation. He thought he could believe it only when he saw her in person.

The knights threw a skinny body into one side of the alley, which seemed to have lost all of its body fluid. It was an alley where there were not many people coming and going, so they didn’t stand out.
But whether or not this body was found, it was none of the Knights’ business. They just came to dump two bodies away from the palace at the direction of their master.
As the coachman climbed into the carriage, the carriage quietly passed by the alley.
Inside the wobbly carriage, Kalinda looked at the lights of the palace as they moved away. It was once hers, but now it’s no longer hers.
Kalinda offered Julietta, the first queen, and made a wish to the red lady. It was to change the body of Marquis Wenson into her own.
The Red Lady cast a spell on Marquis Wenson’s body to look like Kalinda’s and ate Julietta alive.
