"Now, she only cares whether the ritual is successful; everything else is insignificant!"
"We need to do better! We must carry out the ritual thoroughly to satisfy the great matriarch and reduce our guilt."
"And at that mont, we will receive her reward!"
Under Douglas’s encouragent, the woman’s mood gradually shifted from unease to excitent, and finally to fanaticism!
She nodded vigorously, excitedly saying, "Yes! I understand! Everything for my lord! Everything for the great matriarch!"
Seeing the woman like this, Douglas nodded in satisfaction, released her shoulder, and patted it, saying:
"Very good, I think highly of you. Rest assured, even if sothing goes wrong, I will clear you of this matter; you will have nothing to do with it."
The woman licked her lips and lowered her head gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Douglas, I will definitely not disappoint you."
She realized that she was being cultivated as a confidante by the other party.
Just like when the great matriarch chose him to be her attendant, becoming her most loyal confidant!
Opportunity.
She had waited hundreds of years, finally waiting for this chance to squeeze into the core circle.
"My lord! I will go handle it now, completely suppress this news, I will personally see to it, no one will know, not a word will leak!"
Douglas was quite satisfied with her cleverness and nodded, "Hmm, you thought it through well, go ahead."
After receiving affirmation, the woman turned excitedly, feeling triumphant as she headed outside.
After so many years, it’s finally my turn...
Hiss.
An unusual soft sound interrupted her joy, and a strange, stabbing pain twisted her expression slightly,
"...Ah?"
She looked down and saw the crimson blade tip protruding from her chest.
"Lord Douglas?"
The woman turned her head and saw Douglas’s expressionless face.
Why?
Regarding her confusion, Douglas only said blandly, "You are right; this must be done personally."
"I will personally see to it."
"And now, you are indeed completely unrelated to this matter."
Thud.
The woman’s body fell, with incomprehension on her face, dead-eyed looking at the murderer.
Why did you do this?
"..."
Douglas lowered his eyes, speaking blandly, "Stella has gone mad, she has beco a complete lackey of the Evil God, forgetting the family’s honor."
"I absolutely won’t let her sacrifice Moore’s glory to that vile Evil God."
He whispered, then bent to pick up the woman’s body, opened the door, and walked out.
Thud.
He tossed the body outside the door, blandly telling the bewildered guards, "She betrayed Lady Stella."
No other explanation, just this cold statent sealed her cri conclusively.
The guards exchanged looks and then knowingly nodded.
"Understood!"
Douglas didn’t explain further, saying indifferently, "Deploy half the n to dispose of her, reclaim all her assets and slaves."
"Follow the rules, half goes to the clan, and you split the remaining half evenly, no need to send new people for now."
"I’m heading to the bell tower; half of you stay here, no one is allowed inside."
The guards nodded repeatedly, bowing respectfully.
"Yes!"
No one doubted Douglas.
Because he is an attendant, and also the loyal dog trained by the great matriarch.
His record proved ti and again that no one in the entire Moore clan is more loyal than him.
No one would ever doubt his loyalty to Stella.
...
City Lord’s Mansion.
"Hehe."
Stella remained in her half-reclined position, teasing the hound under the bed with a bone in her hand.
Swaying left and right, only after the hound glared angrily did she throw the bone away.
Watching the hound greedily gnaw on the bone, she sighed, "So obedient, so obedient."
Roar!
The great hound roared, biting through the bone in anger, swallowing it whole.
And witnessing this, Stella smiled, gently stroking her own arm with her fingertips, murmuring to herself:
"So dogs are obedient loyal hounds, the most faithful servants, most endearing."
"But so dogs are vicious ones, disobedient, always harboring resentnts, having their own thoughts, hehe~"
"Don’t you think so? My good doggy."
With that, she raised her hand to gently caress its head.
"Stella, don’t take it too far!"
Before her fingers got close, the great black hound spoke in a muffled voice, "You used His power to turn into this. Don’t think I’ve really beco a dog!"
It bared its teeth, glaring at the damned Dark Elf, lowly growling, "If you humiliate again, even if I have to defy the contract, I will kill you!"
Facing the hound’s threat, Stella appeared unusually calm, smiling beautifully, "Kill ? Haha~ Without completing the contract, do you think you can do it?"
Her eyes were full of ridicule, sighing, "You can’t do it~ if you could, wouldn’t you have done it already?"
Humph!
The black hound snorted angrily, burying its head, unwilling to deal with this accursed creature further.
"Anyway, the contract says within three hundred years, I only help you three tis, then you must return my freedom! After killing those guys, only two chances remain!"
"You better let act soon, or ti will run out, humph."
Three hundred years of humiliation, it had endured over two hundred years, only a few decades left.
Stella retracted her enchanting smile, faintly smiling, saying calmly, "Rest assured, under the witness of the deity, no one can break their promises."
The black hound growled lowly, sneering, "Humph! You better be! Don’t ever let catch you sneaking around! Otherwise... the great Carlo will be at eternal odds with you!"
Roar!
It roared in fury, shaking the entire room continuously.
Stella watched it for a while, then slowly stood, stepping down from the bed, standing before the hound.
"Since you’re so eager, alright."
"Go handle one more person for , and upon returning, I’ll let you complete the last task too."
The hound didn’t expect its resistance would genuinely earn a result this ti, hastily questioning, "Really!!?"
"Who? Quickly, who do you want to handle!?"
Suddenly, it warily asked, "You’re not talking about your sister, are you? I’ll tell you now! Such impractical tasks the contract doesn’t endorse!"
Going to the Mist Monastery for a raid?
Is such an idea conceivable by a normal being?
The idiots who went before didn’t return!
Whoever wants to go can go!
Stella, however, laughed joyfully, shaking her head, "Rest assured, I won’t give you an impossible task."
"Not Svanni, then who do you want handled?" The hound puzzled.
In this Malagas, who else needs dealing with?
"Douglas." The great matriarch of the Moore clan smilingly uttered the na of her most loyal subordinate.
"The ritual has already started; I can’t leave here easily, and he’s no longer of use."
"Kill him, then make him the first Legendary level sacrifice."
"This ritual must utterly please my lord!"
The black hound fell silent, frowning after a while, "You’re truly an evil creature."
Stella smiled, nodding gently, accepting this critique gleefully, "Thank you for the complint."
"Betrayal, that is the glory of the Moore clan, betrayal is forever flowing in our blood."
"No matter who, they will betray."
"Slaves betray masters, and masters betray slaves, everyone is never exempt!"
...
...
Under the bell tower.
Herbert looked at Svanni, frowning slightly, speaking slowly, "Hold on a mont, what did you just say?"
"Here already, you say you want to go alone?"
"Are you joking?"
