The Villain's Redemption Chapter 217 The Transmigrator

Chapter 217 The Transmigrator

Lucinia squinted before she suddenly ran towards the man. The sword on her hand glinted against the fire as she swung it. To her, attacking first was better than actually waiting for the king to attack her. As expected, the King easily avoided the attack. A mocking smile lingered on his lips as he disappeared from where he was standing and appeared behind her.
With Lucinia's current ability, she could easily outmaneuver the king. However, just as she was about to use her weapon, the king suddenly screamed and staggered. His sword fell on the floor with a loud thud as the king used the wall to support him. Sweat trickled down his forehead before he let out another scream.
Confused, Lucinia turned towards her father.
"What have you done to me?" The King bellowed, his loud voice echoed inside the cabin. "What did you do?"
Lucinia frowned, her lips pursed as she stared at the king's distressed face. Obviously, the king was in pain. But why? She actually hadn't done anything to the man!
"AHHH! You b*tch! What did you do to me!?" The King tried to stand but miserably failed. "You used a spell on me?"
"I didn't." Lucinia shook her head, confused. She doesn't know any spells or anything that a witch would do. There's no way that she would be able to attack him using spells. Slowly, the king stumbled and fell on the floor, blood trickled down the King's lips and nose. He clutched his neck, his mouth opened into a silent scream before he tried to reach out to grab her dress.
Lucinia took a step back, avoiding his hand as she continued watching the King fell on the floor. What just happened? Soon after, the King stopped moving. His lifeless eyes were still open just like her mouth.
Lucinia stared at the King's face. She doesn't need to touch him to know that he was already dead. Unable to understand anything, Lucinia examined her surroundings and decided to leave the cabin before other soldiers would arrive in this place. However, before she left, Lucinia decided to separate the King's head from his body.
She knew that the king Is already dead, but she wouldn't leave this place without making sure that he wouldn't come back. Without any hesitation, she cut his head and threw it towards the fireplace. Savage. But it was needed. After all, this is a king. A King of the Vampires.
"Wonderful job." Lucinia jumped when she heard a woman's voice followed by gentle footsteps. The door swung open, revealing a woman who looked a little older than Lucinia. Her long black hair perfectly contrasted with her pure white god that honestly reminded Lucinia of a goddess.
"You— "
The woman smiled at Lucinia, her eyes were gentle— too gentle. For a normal person, her gaze looked harmless. In fact, it looked caring and sweet. But Lucinia would never trust anyone in this world. Especially not a very beautiful woman with a gentle smile like this. "The cursed that I gave him was activated when he tried to kill you." The woman said, her eyes turned towards the King's body. "I loved him and trusted him with all my heart. And yet he easily broke his promises for his own goal." Her gaze turned cold. "I could easily blame myself for being selfish, for loving my daughter more than I ever and will even love him. But then… I realized that this was his decision."
The woman smiled at Lucinia. However, it wasn't enough to hide the sadness in her eyes. "It doesn't even matter what made him do this, what made him betray me by trying to kill you. What mattered was the consequences of trying to kill his own daughter. And in this case… that is death."
Lucinia gulped. "You are Siwa."
"And you aren't scared of me?" Siwa smiled. This time, her eyes sparkled as she took a step towards Lucinia who was wearing an all-black dress— something that contrasted Siwa's white one. "You … did he tell you everything about me?"
Lucinia stared at the woman. She actually didn't know how would she react. Should she hug the woman? Pretend that she cared? "I heard about you."
That statement made the woman stopped approaching her. She frowned, the beautiful smile on her face vanished as if it was never there in the first place. "So you heard about me killing people?"
"I did."
"And you are not scared of me?"
Lucinia pursed her lips. "No." This woman should be a powerful witch, right? She could easily help the Kingdom and maybe even become the ruler? Or make Gavril the ruler? "I don't think this is the right time for an emotional reunion." Lucinia found a way to escape the awkward situation. "The Kingdom is currently under attacked by the witches. We needed to save them."
"Save who?"
"The vampires," Lucinia answered, almost immediately. "He told me you don't like wars." She added as she wondered why Siwa doesn't seem too bothered that her kind was about to fell into the King's trap.
"Why would I save anyone?" Siwa said.
[Quest: Kill the transmigrator Siwa. Reward: 50 coins. No option to decline.] Huh? Lucinia turned silent. What is happening here? Why does it seem like her brain stopped working? Siwa is the transmigrator? A TRANSMIGRATOR? Does this mean that she was looking into the wrong person all this time? 'Why not?" Lucinia asked. "He told me you love peace… and you wanted to co-exist with the vampires?"
"Witches… or vampires… even humans." Siwa turned towards the fire and watched as the king's head continued to burn. The smell of burnt flesh started to fill the air. "All of them are the same… "
Lucinia wanted to curse. All this is making her confused. She thought she had become a little smarter! But then all of her analysis was actually useless as the King was not the real villain? 'System! Tell me! What the hell is going on here?'
As usual, the robot maintained its silence.
