Pseudo-Villaines
Mother and Son
Hanna cried for 15 minutes. Piled up in Karina's stiff body, Hanna cursed whoever caused her best friend to be in this state.
No one dared to disturb him. The hatred he harbored began to explode. If a person who could see the aura watching this incident, he would definitely be able to clearly see a deep purple colored aura coming out from Hanna's body.
It was only when his emotions began to stabilize that his crying had subsided. This time it was replaced with an expression of overwhelming resentment and hatred.
Despite that, Hanna did not let dark emotions rule her in full. At the very least, he had to evacuate Karina's corpse out of the forest and search for the remains of another body.
Some knights were inspired to make emergency stretchers. They took out two fairly strong woods and tore their clothes. The knights tied their clothes to the two woods and became stretchers. Although it was simple, it was enough to bring Karina.
Several other Knights raised Karina's body carefully and placed it on a stretcher. While Hanna, she searched for pieces of hands and feet that were scattered around Karina's body earlier.
With her head bowed, Hanna and the other knights walked out of the forest while carrying Karina's body. As soon as she sees Karina's condition, Hanna loses hope for Jeanne's safety. And that is what makes his heart break.
Arriving at the city, the knights immediately brought Karina's body to safety. It will be put in the box. While Hanna, she wrote a report for the knight headquarters in Krakov city informing her that their mission had failed.
That day, Hanna wrote that of the 84 people involved in the investigation mission, 81 were killed including one knight captain. One person was declared missing in the mission (Missing in action) and two people managed to survive.
Because of a heart filled with hatred and a mind filled with vengeance, Hanna did not realize that the wounds on Karina's body were not caused by monsters at all. Instead, it was human.
The report he wrote would be a turning point in the balance of power between the royal family faction and Duke Ankwicz as well as the Duke Cetner faction.

Svetlana and Jean are relaxing. Morning and afternoon they missed by talking about many things. As a mother, Svetlana was excited to hear the story of Jean's adventures while she was in the kingdom of Dublin until her journey to the kingdom of Warsaw.
Of course, Jean also recounted the fact that she was now a noble of the Dublin kingdom. It made Svetlana dumbfounded. Jean was very young to be a noble.
"Say mother, do you intend to return to Dublin with Jeanne? If you want, I can prepare a trip for both of you."
After all, Jeanne had already earned a good place in the knight squad of the capital. Svetlana does not want to make her favorite daughter's career disrupted.
"Well, if it's your decision, Jean will obey. Hmmmm.... Is there something bothering you?"
Realizing that he put on a curious look, Svetlana was a bit embarrassed. But he decided not to hold back and voiced the thing that stuck in his mind.
"Jean, about your strength.... How can you master it?"
Jean seemed to have guessed the question. And he answered with an ambiguous answer. Jean only said after an all-out fight against a certain monster, he could somehow gain such strength and master it.
Jean had no intention of lying to Svetlana. What he said is true. He mastered the laws of space or [Space law] in full and could manipulate it at will in his 50th life. After he successfully fought the manifestation of destruction that came from another dimension.
Svetlana did not pursue this question any further. He knew Jean had a secret he wanted to keep. Somehow, Svetlana is convinced that Jean will tell her when the time comes.
"Alright, I think we should get out of here. We don't mind, do we, Jean?"
"Of course not. But I'm sure that brother must have been considered missing and he had to explain things when he met his knight partner."
Ah right too! Why didn't I think about it!? Svetlana scratched her head. But Jean smiled.
"Just calm down, I'll help her. Let's let brother meet his best friend."
Hearing that, Svetlana nodded. Before that, Jean gives a 'gift' to Svetlana. A gold-colored ring with reflecting diamonds shares the color. Jean also gave it to Jeanne before they separated.
It was the same gift that Jean had given her lovers.
