That bastard Cain must not come up here because of the screaming. I hit the Viscountâs epigastrium with a fist that had been strengthened by my holy power.\n\n WHAM!\n\n âHnngghh!â\n\n If I hit right into any vital area, he wonât even be able to even let out a scream. Soon after he could only gasp for air and fell on the floor. I can silence my opponents by winding them if I hit their epigastrium. If they canât even breath properly, how can they scream?\n\n âI donât enjoy torturing others.â\n\n I passed by that asshole who rolled along the floor while gasping for air, to the bed. As I tore off the bed sheets to use them to tie him up and to stuff his mouth, that asshole started to adjust his breathing. I returned to him and gave a light kick to his epigastrium again.\n\n âHeuk!â\n\n âThereâs revenge I need to avenge and also thereâre some things I want to ask. Donât worry! I wonât kill you.â\n\n Well, I can do nothing if I accidentally kill him though. As I said, I donât like to torture others. Furthermore in the Church, there are other people in charge of that kind of thing, so I donât need to do it myself. Let me warn you, theyâre really ruthless.\n\n I dragged the Viscount from the floor and sat him on a chair. After I was done tying up his hands and legs, and also stuffing his mouth, I gave him some slaps on his cheek until he completely awoke from his half stupor.\n\n âHmmph! Hmph!â\n\n âMy dear Viscount Schwart.â\n\n I smiled softly.\n\n âYouâll die if you scream, you know? Before that bastard Cain can come up here, I will have escaped through the window after smashing your head, so you better give up on any ideas you have in your head! No one will believe that a weak girl would be able to kill a man without any weapons. Probably that bastard Cain will become a scapegoat. Thatâs why, I hope you can think wisely.â\n\n Every word I spoke is completely honest, especially the one I said about making that bastard downstairs into a scapegoat. After his eyes darted around, the Viscount reluctantly nodded his head. I took the bundle out of his mouth after making sure he understood my words.\n\n âKheuk, what do yâ?â\n\n âSsstt!â\n\n I lifted my clenched fist to let him see.\n\n âI ask and you answer.â\n\n I gave him a friendly warning but the Viscount started to wriggle with a resentful expression on his face. \n\n âAfter what you have done, do you think you cââ\n\n âTsk, seems like we still canât have a nice talk.â\n\n I stuffed his mouth again.\n\n âItâs unlikely youâll obediently spill the beans when youâve just gotten hit twice, right? I think Iâve misjudged. I should have snapped your arms and legs one by one.â\n\n âHmmphh!â\n\n âItâs okayâŠitâs okay⊠donât worry! I wonât cut them. I donât have a sword so I can only break your bones. Itâs really nothing to be worried about, right?â\n
Well, I wouldnât really have cut his legs or arms even if there was a sword here. Maybe itâll be enough to cut about one to two fingers, but there would be too much blood spurting out if I cut his arms or legs. I have to avoid any possibility of getting my dress drenched in blood if I go to the funeral procession. Moreover, thatâs my funeral, at least I need to mind my manners.\n\n âAs I saw it, seems like youâre right-handed.â\n\n At first, I intended to be kind and aim for his left hand, but now I wonât show any mercy, so I hold his right hand. The Viscount kept struggling and shaking his head.\n\n âWhat the f*ck? You said before that you wouldnât hold back anymore⊠well same here!â\n \n The real Silla must be helpless when facing this asshole. Well, she wouldnât have obediently come along with him like I did in the first place though. I hold onto this rapistâs right hand tightly and twisted it to the opposite direction.\n \n âErghhhhh!!!â\n \n âNow, itâs your legâs turn.â\n \n âEmmh! Emmhhh!â\n \n âI donât understand what you said. Talk properly you motherf***er!â\n\n Although he would only be burdening other people by using a stretcher when he walked later, I still have to break his leg, the right side too. For the leg part, I twisted his knee. After I finished, the Viscountâs face became red and a lot of cold sweat appeared. His bloodshot eyes showed extreme horror. Great. Now we can have a smooth conversation.\n\n âHow about we start another conversation? This time Iâll crush your bones until they canât recover if you blabber nonsense. If the bones are broken, then they can recover quickly, but if theyâre smashed into pulp, well those would be hard to recover even if using holy magic.â\n\n Broken bones could be treated using bandage and could be healed faster by receiving treatment from holy magic, if he had lots of money. After considering those points, I think I was being too kind.\n\n I took away the bundle that had gotten wet from his saliva from his mouth. This time heâs only breathing heavily without saying anything. I appreciate it.\n\n âSo, whatâs your relationship with the Countess?â\n\n The Viscount swallowed his saliva and answered while stuttering, âS-she promised me a p-part of land i-if I âtake careâ of y-youâŠâ\n\n âAnd both of you made a deal? But, your way of talking is really brazen, isnât it?â\n\n âAh, I mean ⊠Miss Epheria.â\n\n âGood. In short, both of you will only snatch my inheritance after you get married with me?â\n\n â⊠yes. But, Miss didnât comply obediently to the plan⊠so the Countess asked me to sully Miss by forceâŠâ\n\n âThatâs all?â\n\n âT-thatâs all!â\n\n I couldnât find any deceit on his despairing face. Of course itâs possible that he deceived me, but in reality heâs just planning to defile me. In the end, perhaps Viscount Schwart is only being used by the Countess?â\n\n âDo you know anything else about the Countess?â\n
âW-what kind of information?â\n\n âAnything.â\n\n âAbout that⊠I think Miss would probably know much moreâŠâ\n\n Ughh⊠did I just get useless information? What a shame. I clicked my tongue while picking up the parasol that was left on the floor.\n\n âI warn you. Donât ever think to talk about todayâs matter to anyone. No one would believe you that your hands and legs were broken by a woman without any weapon, that would only make your reputation plummet to the lowest. One more thing, you must cancel our engagement. Unless you want to get beaten to death on your first night.â\n\n By all means, I never intended to stay silent and be wedded to him. I would definitely bury him alive before the wedding ceremony.\n\n I stared at the Viscount who was nodding enthusiastically for a moment before walking to the window.\n\n In the past, I could have easily jumped down from the second floor, but now I think I need to be extremely careful. This bodyâs endurance is really low; one wrong move and my neck would probably be sprained.\n\n I opened the window widely and lifted up half of my skirt so that I could sit on the window sill. Thereâs a small alley without any sign of people outside the window. I concentrated my holy power into the whole of my legs before I jumped out.\n\n Ouch!\n
