In actual fact, he wished to slap his daughter on the cheek and reprimand her. A toddler with an odd means was born to him, however she wouldn’t obey.

‘Annoying bitch.’

However he couldn’t increase his hand as a result of the royal household confirmed a lot curiosity in Sienna, who had the powers of prophecy.

Specifically, the queen usually known as her niece, Sienna, to the palace, saying she was cute and was to be her companion. So if he put his hand on Sienna, he could be caught.

Because of this, the Duke was inevitably compelled to seek out one other ‘means’ to strain and torment her.

Sienna had no real interest in toys or attire, even in childhood. However she was happily fairly hooked up to her youthful brother, Akkard.

She tried to cover her affection for him and feign apathy, however regardless of how distinctive she was, Sienna was nonetheless a toddler and couldn’t wholly idiot a shrewd grownup’s eyes.

Akkard naturally grew to become a method to intimidate her. It was ridiculously harsh to endure from her organic dad and mom, making them helpless.

They had been nonetheless too younger to combat in opposition to the cruelty and heartlessness of the world.

“Sienna, you don’t need your brother to be in ache, proper? So inform me.”

Regardless of ruthless and harsh threats, Sienna solely bit her lip and sealed her mouth. The Duke’s mouth twisted with a cruelly contemptuous sneer when he noticed her small head bowed down.

“Oh my, for those who’re going to be so cussed, I can’t assist it both.”

The horsewhip in his hand rose excessive. Ferocious violence was executed on Akkard’s little crouched again.

‘He’s insane!’

Damia couldn’t imagine her eyes. She coated her mouth along with her trembling hand, unable to take her eyes off Akkard crying in ache.

“Aaaah!!”

When Akkard lastly fainted after being whipped, the earlier Duke secretly summoned the priest. And he handed out some huge cash to fully heal Akkard.

However the horrible whippings by no means stopped.

Amid the agony and tortuous instances, Akkard’s crouched physique grew steadily. At first, he appeared like a toddler, and he quickly grew to become a young person.

It wasn’t simply Akkard’s construct that modified. His face weeping, screaming, and stuffed with ache steadily grew to become expressionless.

It was like watching a younger beast caught in a entice. The creature struggled in agony, finally misplaced its senses, paralyzed in ache, and was slowly dying.

Not less than in Damia’s eyes, that’s the way it appeared.

“Horrid, solely as a result of he was born as my brother, he suffered like that.”

Sienna, watching beside her, murmured in a strained voice stuffed with regret. As they watched his ache collectively, Damia’s coronary heart wildly ached, and with out pondering, requested Sienna:

“How… … How lengthy have you ever suffered?”

“Who? Akkard?”

“No, each of you.”

Damia answered with out hesitation. Akkard suffered essentially the most from bodily ache, however Sienna was undoubtedly a sufferer too.

She may really feel Sienna’s emotional ache vividly. She continued to look sick watching her brother uncovered to violence due to herself.

Sienna, who understood her which means, smiled sadly. She replied, wanting again at her previous Akkard, who shrank and tried to keep away from the lash.

“… … Till I got here of age.”

It was a dream, in fact, but it surely was heartbreaking simply to listen to it. Flogged since childhood.

Damia lowered her eyes and quietly opened her mouth.

“I need to specific my honest regret. About you, and the ache he went by means of.”

At these phrases, Sienna’s eyes widened. Turning her head, she checked out Damia with out saying a phrase for some time, then stated abruptly,

“You’re nonetheless a great child, Damia Primula.”

Then, the phantasm in entrance of them disappeared. Watching her personal previous fading, Sienna declared in a distant however clear tone:

“I’m not dangerous. The dangerous ones are those that attempt to use my powers.”

“I believe so too.”

“And Akkard, he is aware of this too. However.. … .”

Sienna couldn’t end her phrases. For a second, Sienna’s complicated and refined feelings appeared to move into Damia.

As she stated, Akkard knew that his sister was harmless. However his physique was already conditioned to violence, and the start line of all this ache was all the time the title ‘Sienna.’

His instincts naturally branded his sister with ache. Due to this, Akkard was reluctant to hunt Sienna even after he had grown up, and located his personal means and drove their father away.

It was inescapable. For ache was imprinted within the depths of his soul like a tree ring, for a very long time.

“And I, too, would possibly hate him a bit of bit,”

Sienna admitted quietly.
