When My Enemies Began to Regret

I killed a person.

“Heuk… heuk.”

 

I didn’t mean to do this.  

 

A man in uniform lay beaten in front of me shedding red from his head.
As that color seeped into the ground, I thought as I looked at the dying man,

 

‘I feel relieved.’

 

How did I end up doing this? I was originally born as a noble lady and lived a normal life.
But reality wasn’t so simple.

 

Why is it? Why have people in the world been so cruel to me?

 

Because I’m a troublemaker that was abandoned by my family?

 

Was it because I didn’t have any wealth or power to be treated like a fool?

 

Or was it because my curly black hair looked eerie and I had such a gloomy and ugly face?

 

Anything could be the reason, but at the same time, I didn’t know if that was really the reason.

 

“Sa-Save me…”

 

“…”

 

“Uurgh!”

 

Maybe these people were just having fun tormenting me.

 

“Urgh, please save me.”

 

I have suffered from terrible harassment over the past few years.
Among them, there were many cases that hurt my body and some that left scars on my heart.
Moreover, at the end of my life, my playboy fiancée, who I thought was the only light in my life, broke all his promises and framed me for things I didn’t do and tarnished my honor.

 

And that’s how I lost everything.

 

Those who tormented me remained steady like a mountain.
Meanwhile,  I was living through days where it felt like there was no hope of me living any longer.
In the end, I was so afraid that the end would come tomorrow that I tried to kill myself first.
Eventually, I stood on a cliff on the deserted beach one day.

 

“…”

 

I stood alone on the cliffside crying for a long time.
The moment I tried to throw myself off, the cool, blue water filled my sight.
At that, I was suddenly scared and unable to carry out what I’d decided to do.
My plans having fallen through, I squatted while surrounded by the cold sea breeze and sobbed.

 

‘Why am I the only one that has to suffer?’

 

It was then that I was hit with a sense of clarity.

 

“…”

There have been countless people who have abused and deceived me until now, but they get to live happily while I have to lose my life.
Isn’t that really unfair?

 

It is unfair.
It is really unfair.

 

“Heeuk… heeuk…”

 

So, I changed my mind.

 

My life is already ruined anyway.
Rather than dying alone like that, let’s take the most unforgivable person who tormented me as my companion. 

 

I called out the man who’d made the biggest contribution in ruining my life to the garden.
He’d stolen my fortune and accused me with false allegations.
He wasn’t even wary of anything when he saw me.
I was a woman with no muscle strength after all.
Besides, we were just a few steps away from the victory hall that was full of knights and nobles.

 

“…”

 

Killing a noble was the heaviest crime in this kingdom.
The man in front of me is going to die soon so I will most likely face severe punishment after beating him on his head with a stone from behind.
But, only now did I realize that I was smiling despite it all. 

 

Why?

 

“…”

 

I killed him.
Finally, I was relieved from the act of revenge I had committed.

 

“Ha.”

 

The man in front of me, whose blood painted the garden red, eventually stopped struggling.
Only then did it feel like I’d really taken his entire future away with my own hands.
His face, which had persecuted me in the past, overlapped with his present appearance, and a shrill laugh came from me.

 

He can’t bother me anymore.

 

He can’t eat the scones that he loved so much again.
He can’t enjoy any happiness.

 

“Hahaha.”

 

I finally regained my long-forgotten laughter with the sense of accomplishment that I’d finally gotten revenge.
It was something worth celebrating, considering I haven’t laughed even once in years.

 

“Hahaha!”

 

I danced excitedly around the fallen man.
I grabbed the hem of my dress that was ruined by the physical fight and circled around to swear at his body.
Soon, the knights, who were suspicious of him not being back yet, will search the area.
I gave up the impossible idea to escape from here in the first place and waited for this place to be filled with armored knights.

 

But…

 

“?”

 

No matter how much sad things hurt my heart, was it enough to make me hallucinate?

 

As I was dancing without a partner, a foreign world was reflected in my gaze.
Like a breaking snow globe, some parts of the sky outside the castle began to twist strangely.
In addition, I heard the sound of an angel flapping its wings in my ear.

 

“It’s not wings.”

But soon, I noticed what the noise was.

 

This was the sound of turning pages.
The world was shattered into fragments and ten thousand papers were scattered in the air by the time I realized it.
I gazed coldly at the scenery.
My life will disappear with the death sentence anyway.
I laughed like crazy and tilted back in glee no matter what happened to the world.
And finally, in a world that is collapsing, I really think that both my ears and eyes are all filled with falling paper.

 

“Ahahahahahahaha!”

 

An unknown message was delivered beyond the darkening consciousness.
