Volume 1 + Chapter 0: Prologue: Move Her To Tears, Then Hang To Death In Front of Her

 

Kids, I crashed.

 

Accompanied by a harsh sound of the gavel and a wave of incredulous gasps in the Holy Church’s public court, the woman who had kept her eyes tightly closed slowly opened her captivating pupils.

 

Those fire-red irises were extremely distinctive, like burning flames, beautiful as an intense red rose, capable of igniting one’s emotions with just a single glance.

 

But at this moment, her beauty was bound by Holy Light, like flames trapped in amber.

 

Just a few hours ago, she was still the illustrious church’s Cardinal Deacon, now she had been condemned as an unforgivable witch.

 

The judgment seats were filled with discussions, while on the other side, sat a stern-faced young girl, holding a notebook in her hands, seriously looking at her. That notebook was densely filled with all the crimes of the woman as a witch.

 

The scene before her felt familiar, and by the time the woman came to her senses, the high-seated judge had already sentenced her to death.

 

“Eve Lawrence, being a witch, disguising your identity to infiltrate the church, attempting to cause chaos, you are now legally sentenced to hanging. Do you have anything to say in your defense about this verdict?”

 

“Did I… really transmigrate?”

 

Ignoring the sharp voice from above, Eve looked at her bound slender arms, following the line of her arms down towards her chest, and unfortunately… it was too full, she couldn’t see anything else.

 

As the saying goes, a woman who can’t see her toes when looking down is a supreme beauty, then with her proportions and figure, she definitely belonged to the category of sexy upon sexy.

 

Originally, Eve remembered clearly that she was planning to enjoy some intimate content before sleep, using the airplane method to successfully enter dreamland.

 

But when she was looking for some light reading material as a side dish, she accidentally discovered an extremely spicy masterpiece.

 

Unknowingly, she stayed up all night and finished reading it all. Actually, staying up late wasn’t anything special, she used to do it often, but this time was obviously different from before.

 

Because she finally stayed up until she died…

 

Before she could even feel nostalgic about the unfinished light reading, or regret that she could no longer enjoy intimate moments, next came darkness before her eyes… and when she opened them again, she appeared here.

 

Countless memories flooded her mind, and Eve also understood the situation before her. This was the scene of a witch trial, and it was also the prologue of the light novel she read last night…

 

A witch living among humans, doing good deeds daily, even adopting a gifted human girl, raising her with careful nurturing and frugal living.

 

As a result, this girl, in order to compete for the position of the church’s Holy Maiden, turned around and sold out her witch foster mother.

 

The witch hadn’t done anything wrong, just being a law-abiding citizen, her only fault was having witch blood flowing through her veins.

 

But since she had been reported, the church had to handle it, and once investigated, death was certain, after all, the humans in this world couldn’t tolerate witches, just like eyes couldn’t tolerate sand.

 

Getting such an ungrateful person, I wonder which witch was so unfortunate…

 

Oh…

 

I’m that unfortunate witch…

 

“Me?”

 

After sorting out the current situation, Eve, who was still confused and unclear about the transmigration, instantly had her forehead covered in cold sweat.

 

With her hands tightly bound, she couldn’t even wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

 

As expected of church items, not only was she bound tightly, but they were also continuously suppressing her power as a witch.

 

However, speaking of this suppression, it was actually redundant, as Eve, although a witch, was the weakest witch.

 

Having witch bloodline, she didn’t possess particularly strong abilities, the reason being she hated her witch bloodline, didn’t want to be a witch who would be despised by humans, but wanted to be an ordinary human, living an ordinary life.

 

Not using her absolute talent, running among humans to get along with them friendly, going against her witch identity, running to work at the human church.

 

Even because she did her work too well, this year she was exceptionally promoted to the governing Cardinal of an imperial church.

 

Everything was fine until it was all completely shattered by a girl less than 10 years old.

 

“Judge, Eve Lawrence is an unforgivable witch, lurking in the church for many years like a time bomb. I suggest immediate execution to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.”

 

Just as Eve was recalling the current setting, the little girl on the judgment seat spoke, and her words were like a knife, stabbing deeply into Eve’s heart.

 

Eve didn’t know why she would have this stabbing feeling, especially when making eye contact with that little girl, a strange indescribable feeling uncontrollably bubbled up from the bottom of her heart.

 

Like collapse, also like despair, but looking at the slightly thinly dressed little girl before her, Eve’s heart was actually filled more with heartache and worry?

 

No need to think too much, this righteous-looking little girl was Eve’s adopted daughter, that ungrateful person who reported her.

 

And her reason for reporting Eve was also simple, after all, this was the world of light novels, what was this girl after? Of course, it was for the protagonist…

 

As for the protagonist…

 

Eve scanned around but didn’t see that author’s favored son, the genuine dragon-pride protagonist of the entire work, naturally gifted.

 

And his success couldn’t do without the help of Eve’s adopted daughter. After this little girl successfully reported Eve, Eve was executed, and she was successfully selected as the Holy Maiden.

 

And her purpose in becoming a Holy Maiden was to extract unlimited benefits and resources from the Holy Church, and finally feed all of these to this little dragon-pride protagonist.

 

Originally thought it would be a childhood sweetheart story ending in happiness, but having read the entire original work, Eve knew better than anyone…

 

How could a childhood sweetheart compete with a destined encounter, Eve was a disposable character dying at the beginning, and so was her adopted daughter.

 

From beginning to end, they were just tools, and didn’t realize until the moment of abandonment… but it was far too late.

 

Even as one of the supporting tool characters in the light novel, Eve thought this little girl was a failure, because until she died with guilt and regret at her foster mother’s grave, she hadn’t been touched even once by the dragon-pride protagonist…

 

Truly, those who are pitiful must have something hateful about them.

 

Eve understood her current situation clearly, but she didn’t feel nervous at all.

 

Because she knew very clearly, since she had the chance to be reborn once, then facing death, she had the possibility of being reborn again.

 

To be honest, she didn’t want to struggle desperately to survive in this world, because she still had many intimate moments she hadn’t been able to enjoy, and obviously there were no conditions for that in the current situation.

 

With those days gone, what was there left to struggle for?

 

Hope next time Eve could be reborn in a better alternate world, after all, this place had nothing, not even a system.

 

If transmigrators had levels, then Eve would definitely be at the level of having to sit at the children’s table for meals.

 

Too weak…

 

However, before leaving, Eve still had her own small malicious pleasure.

 

Death wouldn’t be in vain, facing this ungrateful little brat who reported her, Eve felt that even if she had to die, she should leave a deep crack in this ungrateful child’s heart.

 

Looking at the plot, in a few years, after her value was completely used up, she would be abandoned by the dragon-pride protagonist.

 

At that time, this young lady would slowly realize Eve’s goodness to her, would gradually discover that she had personally destroyed the only person in this world who truly loved her.

 

Finally breaking down, running to Eve’s grave on a rainy night to cry out loud in grievance, and finally dying from depression.

 

This punishment was still too light for her, not satisfying enough.

 

After all, if you’re going to score points for the losing team, you must perform to the extreme.

 

Eve wasn’t unfamiliar with those female frequency tricks, isn’t it just about being wholeheartedly good to someone first, then hanging to death in front of them, and finally watching them regret process?

 

Eve was very familiar with this, there should be no chance to run away now, she was tied up like she was about to film a small movie, let alone run away, just thinking about this being the world view of light novels, Eve would feel a chill under her empty skirt.

 

So since she wanted her to feel irredeemable regret, it should come more absolutely.

 

With a playful heart rising, Eve blinked her eyes, that look of grievance mixed with some reluctance, reluctance mixed with some despair, and despair mixed with some motherly love was performed perfectly by her.

 

She cast her gaze towards her adopted daughter who stood on the high platform, righteously judging her.

 

Eve’s acting was too amazing, plus she was really too beautiful, those complex emotions appeared more obvious under the complement of a good appearance.

 

“Darling, mom doesn’t blame you. You’ve grown up and have your own independent thinking now.”

 

As soon as Eve opened her mouth, her voice was as pleasant as a lark, that gentle voice carrying some depth, like a warm winter breeze, warm and moving, seeming able to melt ice.

 

“As a member of the church, what you did is correct. Witches are indeed unforgivable beings, according to human law, once discovered they must be eliminated.”

 

“What you did is right… it’s just a pity that mom won’t be able to see you grow up anymore.”

 

Eve smiled, her smile full of reluctance.

 

“It’s mom’s fault, mom is an unforgivable witch, mom has wronged you… mom doesn’t deserve to appear in your life, but your appearance will forever be one of the few lights in mom’s dim life.”

 

“Your body isn’t good, you need to take care after leaving mom, you also like to kick off your blanket when sleeping at night, in the future there won’t be mom to help you cover the blanket, you need to be careful not to catch a cold.”

 

“The future road is still long, mom left you some money, not much, it’s what mom saved by living frugally and doing part-time jobs, it’s hidden in your favorite dressing case.”

 

“You said you liked new dresses, but mom couldn’t afford them, mom didn’t have the ability… but I made many dresses for you, sewn stitch by stitch, although not as pretty as those in the shop windows, but they can let you wear until you’re 16 years old.”

 

“My darling, how beautiful you must be at 16, but unfortunately… mom won’t be able to see it anymore.”

 

“Mom isn’t afraid of death, mom is just afraid that after closing her eyes, she’ll never see you again.”

 

Eve spoke with tears streaming down her face, at this time even though she had been confirmed as a witch, she still aroused sympathy from many people in the jury around her.

 

Where was this a witch? This was just a mother who had put her heart and soul into raising her child!

 

And that adopted daughter standing on the high platform, struck by this sudden gentleness, her face froze, her hands holding the notebook slightly trembling.

 

Eve looked at her expression, her lips slightly curling up — that was a victorious smile. She knew very clearly, she had already nailed a nail into this girl’s heart. This nail would sink deeper with time, eventually making her regret for a lifetime.

 

Witch Eve’s hanging was unavoidable, but this wasn’t important. What she wanted was to leave an indelible mark in this ungrateful child’s heart.

 

“Just wait and see, darling.” Eve coldly laughed in her heart, “You will understand — in this world, who was the only person who truly loved you.”

 

I’m really such a bad person, alright, now it’s time to face death calmly and then be reborn in another alternate world.

 

But…
