The Fate Of The Princess

Meeting with Hotaru

After Elena managed to play tricks on them, she went inside the space ring. Liu smiled when he saw it coming.

"Sister Liu!" call Elena while hugging her.

Liu returned his embrace, "Are you satisfied playing?"

Elena chuckled, "Very satisfied," he replied.

"Bad girl!" Liu poked Elena's nose.

"Hahaha, it's nice to see those who are stuck by their own plans." Elena chuckled as she remembered them.

"Sister, I want to practice again" he continued.

"Yes-yes, let's go" Liu asked.

After practicing for quite a long time, Elena came out of the space ring to rest.

The next day, Elena went out to look for new clues until the sky had started to darken. Unfortunately, he had only heard some useless information. As he was relaxing, he heard a quite disturbing sound.

"Basic jal*ng!"

"Traper!"

"Poor!"

As he drew closer to the direction of the voice, he saw some women who were torturing a helpless black haired girl. He is Hotaru. The girl called the unlucky carrier.

Irritated, Elena threw a few pebbles at them.

"Aw! You're the one who threw me?"

"Snake the origin—aduh!"

"Hey, you guys are okay—hey! Who's that?"

There's no one.

"Don't you..ghost?"

"Run fast!!!"

They ran away because they thought it was a ghost. Once it was safe, Elena came out of hiding.

Elena carried the girl leaning against the tree, "You okay?"

"Who are you, sir?"

"I was just passing by." Elena replied.

Elena took out some bread and drinks from her bag, "Eat."

"But.." The girl's words stopped because of her stomach. He also received a gift of bread from Elena.

Elena waited for him to finish eating. Afterwards, the girl looked at Elena in confusion.

"I know you made them go away. Why would you help me?" ask her slowly.

Elena looked at him in amazement, "Oh? It seems like he has talent, "his inner self.

"Just want to, is that enough?" ask Elena.

The girl remained silent for a while.

"You know who I am, right?" tanyakanya.

Elena nodded, "I only know a glance. Your name's Hotaru, right?"

"True.." replied Hotaru softly.

"About the sacrifice..Do you agree?" ask Elena slowly.

Hotaru smiled wryly, "I have nothing left, family or shelter. Everything no longer exists. Even those who used to be close became disgusted at me" he said.

"I'd rather die than live like this" Hotaru continued.

Elena looked at him horror, "You're crazy! Do you realize what you're saying?"

Hotaru.

Elena sighed, "Can you tell me about the ritual?" tanyakanya.

"E-uh? Why do you want to know?" ask Hotaru back.

Elena just kept quiet while looking at Hotaru.

"O-oh, um. As far as I know, the black moon ritual does not only exist in this village. There are still a few more places. Before this ritual was held, the village head invited several people to visit his house. That's when I accidentally heard it and.it was a little surprising." Hotaru explained.

"You mean?" ask Elena.

"Citizens only know that this ritual is held to summon the souls of great people who come from the past. But actually, it was a monster to protect the summoner." replied Hotaru while looking down.

"Ah, so the village chief called the monster so that his position would not shift and he had protection. That so?" guess Elena.

Hotaru nodded.

"Then why do you want to be the victim? ask Elena.

"That's because I want to be a useful person" replied Hotaru stammeringly.

"When my mother brought my father to this village, the residents were very happy that my mother was no longer alone. But, after they found out that the one he married was a crazy man, they looked at my mother with a low look. My originally sincere friends became two-faced people and always looked for my ugliness. The deaths of my father and mother made them even more evil to me. I want to hate them, but I'm tied to this place. This village is where my parents are, I can't do anything" he continued with a sad look.

Elena's countenance grew colder, "Therefore you want to die? You want to sacrifice yourself for this place?"

Hotaru.

Elena sighed, "Alright, thank you for telling me. I'll go, take care of yourself."

"Master—so fast to go."

Elena darted through the darkness of the night and landed on one of the roofs of the residents' houses. He focused his hearing and heard the sound of laughter coming from the village chief's house.

Elena used camouflage magic and entered into it to search for information.

"What about the ceremony?"

"Everything went well, sir."

"Hahaha, great! In this way, my office will rise and my life will advance!"

"I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, sir. Why are most of the victims still holy girls?"

"This is his command. It would be inappropriate if I were against him."

"Do your preparations faster. The ritual will begin in a few days."

"Good, sir."

Elena darted back to her inn. After entering and making a barrier, Elena pensively paused for a moment.

"What did I hear? The holy girl? You mean a virgin girl?" muttered.

"Diamond*n! How cruel they are!"

"I must speed it up."

"Hotaru! Where're you?"

Silent mood.

He picked up a handful of soil and tried to trace the scent of the girl. This is easy to do because the seal is slightly open.

Elena's pupils changed from round to vertical. He stiffened his jaw when he smelled something else.

"This smell...!"

Elena darted so fast that she managed to hear Hotaru's voice.

"Let go..let me go!"

"Hahaha, now is your last day of enjoying life."

"Let us have fun with you!" one of the young men ripped off his shirt.

"No!!!"

"That's white. What a beautiful sight."

"Please..don't.." he said.

"I'm sorry, Dad, Mom."

Hotaru's gaze became blank as if resigned as they tried to harass her.

Elena who saw the sickening sight instantly grabbed them and threw the bajing*n roughly.

Elena covered the body of the poor girl with her robe, "Hotaru! Hotaru! Be aware!" he shouted while shaking Hotaru's shoulders. But he's quiet.

"Who are you?!"

"How dare it interfere with our pleasure?!" sniped one of them.

"Did? Long hair..you're a girl? Do you want to be like him?" ask her friend while pointing at Elena.

Elena clenched her hands tightly, "Try if you can!" cynical answer.

They attacked Elena at the same time. Elena beat them mercilessly with her bare hands and battered them. After they lost, Elena pulled out her sword.

"What do you want to do?"

"Get rid of that gun!"

"You want us dead?!"

Elena smiled coldly, "Dead? That's too light a punishment for you."

Elena cut off their hands, "This hand has already ripped off Hotaru's shirt."

"ARGHYO!!"

Elena cut off their kel*min tool, "You guys want to harass her right? It's a gift for you."

"Don'tie!"

Elena's eyes shone viciously, "This tongue! Who said such a disgusting thing to her!"

Elena burned her sword. Then pull out the dagger.

"Last..." Elena stuck the dagger into their forehead.

"Your heads who only know things like this!"

They also died in terrible circumstances. Elena looked at their condition with an extremely cold gaze and her clothes were also covered in blood.

Then, Elena burned their bodies so that no one could find her.

After he finished erasing his tracks, he went to see Hotaru.

"Hotaru."

She's speechless.

"Hotaru."

There's no answer.

Elena hugged him, "It's me. The man you met yesterday."

Hotaru turned her head slowly, "Master...?" ogre.

"Yes, right. Relax, I've taken care of them."

"really? They...have died?"

Elena nodded.

Hotaru's tears fell and she hugged Elena tightly, "Hiks...I...I thought...I would...would..hiks...why are they...so cruel to me?"

"Are they not satisfied with the torture I feel? Why would they want to tarnish my pride? Why?!"

"It's okay. I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you."

The sound of Hotaru's cry broke the silent atmosphere on the cold night.

Elena looked at the sleeping Hotaru directly into the space ring.

Liu was shocked as Elena brought a stranger into this place.

"Elene. She's..."

"The story is long, brother. You heard it all, didn't you?"

"O-oh, right," Liu replied clumsily.

"Sister Liu, I trust him to you. Please tell me that I brought him here and don't let him do anything reckless."

Liu nodded and held Hotaru.

Elena immediately changed her clothes, "I go first, sister," he said as he exited the ring and darted into the village.

He saw the residents were looking for some young men who were missing.

"What's this?"

"Master, our son is missing. They said they were going away for a while. Until now they have not come home. We've been looking for him everywhere and haven't found him. Help us, sir."

"Go with some residents to search around the border. If you haven't met, tell me immediately."

"Good, sir."

"Master!"

"Why again?"

"Wire, sir! The girl disappeared too!" report his men in panic.

"What did you say?! Quickly find him! Order the citizens to search for the missing and divide into two groups! Now!"

Elena looked at them coldly. That night, all the citizens were shocked by the news of the disappearance of some young men and also girls who will be made into a collision.
