NOVEL NEXT Chapter 28
Episode 28: The Marquess Wields the Blade of Revenge ⑤-2
Disembowelment… Literally, it’s a punishment that splits the body in half from the waist. Since it takes longer to die than beheading, the pain is excruciating.
This punishment of disembowelment is only given to the most serious criminals. For ordinary commoners, hanging is the usual method of execution. Even beheading is rarely carried out. The fact that disembowelment is being used this time means the crime is of that level of severity.
I had decided to execute Gazel and the others by disembowelment.
My mother apologized to me in her final moments.
“I’m sorry for being such a useless mother, leaving everything to you.”
These were her last words. Normally, she would have wanted to teach me many things. The Zafing Marquess is the head of the Darkness Demon Group, the largest intelligence agency in the country. It requires more responsibility and resolve than that of an ordinary lord.
Gazel, as a son-in-law, was not informed about the Darkness Demon Group. My mother, as the lord, leader, and my mother, seriously faced her many responsibilities. Gazel, oblivious to this, did not support her and only sought to satisfy his own desires. Moreover, he killed her by poisoning.
Before my mother closed her eyes, I noticed Gazel’s lips curling slightly. If I noticed, there’s no way my mother didn’t. She was robbed of her life in despair, unjustly.
At her funeral, I vowed to kill Gazel in the most gruesome way possible.
Some people arrogantly preach about the emptiness of revenge. If it’s so empty, then don’t seek revenge.
But I’m different. If not seeking revenge means Gazel’s smug grin would disappear, then I’d rather be tormented by the emptiness of revenge and live the rest of my life more comfortably.
Now then…
Gazel, Almada…
I can finally deliver a miserable death to you.
