Hundred and Seven Stories: Trembling Darkness, Second Edition

The women's screams echoed. Covering breasts clawed by mittens, the women leave the table.

A pitch-black eyeball was trembling at emotions that were neither hateful nor angry. I groan at the slightly eye-opening Sabitoga as Mitten crumbles her makeup all over her face with tears that she doesn't know what to do.

"It's sloppy. Executioner. What a nostalgic story. What a nostalgic, abominable story we've been talking about for so long."

"... you were dressed plain enough to hide who you were, but at first glance I knew you were Prince Mitten that person. His black eyes, regarded as a testament to the king's lack of qualities, cannot be concealed."

"You're acting like you haven't noticed. He's a nasty bastard..."

"You were frightened. He watched (see) the execution in the front row, fearful of the voice of the sinner's interrupter. I was just a young kid."

Sabitoga breathes, then continues her words to the nagging mittens.

"Even if the prince does not take his squire, it is there and his eyes that he steals the execution. I was wondering if the little kid still shook up his courage when he saw something scary... but you snuck into jail several times afterwards and peeked at my work from behind. Always alone, hiding who you are.

There was no color of curiosity or pleasure in that face. Only intense fear engulfed him. "

……

"Now I think... maybe... Weren't you overlapping yourself with a sinner who would be killed? With the only (yui when) congenital disease in the prince, and foretold blindness, you were afraid (kigu) that one day you would be disposed of by your flirtatious father king..."

"You say it's fear? I'm not kidding. I was sure. I'm bound to be branded useless and decapitated.

... My father left me with the result that all queens and princes should be protected equally. But before that, I was the only one trying to start with a circle of asylum.

Because my mother hated my eyes, was disappointed, and wanted a second child. My father was thinking of the end of me to fulfill my mother's wishes. "

Sabitoga waited silently for the continuation, worried internally about how much she should believe Mitten's words like a chunk (heap) of suspicion (rabbit) mind.

Ringing his teeth as Mitten brings her fingers closer to her dark eyes (yes, she does).

"After all, my father loved the princesses he unearthed the most. Because the prince is the treasure of the queen, he just pretended to love her and showed her. So, what about the prince the Queen hates? I'm not going to protect you. On the contrary, he would use his power to try to murder him.

It was the King's executioner who tied me up then and dropped my neck. I mean, you. "

The murder of royalty. That's more of a ninja assignment than an executioner's job in one way or another.

But I guess that didn't come to the mind of the young prince.

The executioner who kills sinners in front of the public must have made himself imagine death stronger than Prince Mitten, rather than the unknown and leaping ninja.

"I've made you a symbol of death. I've been sneaking out of the royal palace staring at the reaper that ends my life.

I was scared. It was horrible. No matter how pathetic the sinner, the pretty woman or the child, I didn't think I would be able to convince you to kill them.

As it is, the Blade of Reaper will surely mow my neck.... Then I'll have to be more demonic than Reaper. That's what I thought. "

Mitten slowly sank the body into the chair. The dark eyeballs look at Sabitoga with a small laugh that the women are not coming by.

"I served my mother the poison of a dull keshi from the royal pharmacy and made her a puppet (tease). He made me depend on (you're here) with the pain of addiction, and made me publicly declare that he loves me. And he turned away the wicked men from their mouths, and poured the goods of the royal palace into the black market, and made gold. While the other kings and children were playing in the potent weather, I was preparing to take the throne."

"... no way... nor the sickness of my predecessor..."

"I don't know. Let's leave that to the imagination. Anyway, I don't want to die. I grew up in a giant evil mastering the royal family with all my heart, and this is how I got my time.

Everything was right… I kept dreading you more than I did in my childhood, except for you. "

On Mitten's eyelids, a number of crackling wrinkles ran. "Son of a bitch," hatred releases to Sabitoga.

"It wasn't once or twice that I thought I'd kill you, who really didn't fall for us. But you can't do that. I'm sorry to see your phantom of dying with the intention of killing me on the floor near the end of my life.

You must not just kill, you must submit. [M] In order to overcome my fear of the symbol of death, I must guarantee my life to myself. I will serve you. I have to point the blade at you. Peace will not come to my soul if I do not say so. "

"... What about the authority of the previous king is pre-construction? You were afraid of me and you were dealing with me..."

"That's why I can't forgive you. You thought you couldn't solve a human being, you had a human being, etc. He said he was the kind of man who fights for his righteous man and chooses to die for justice, etc.

Besides - and on top of that - if my predecessor had ordered my execution, I would have definitely followed him in silence -! "

Mitten bit his back teeth and stared at Sabitoga directly in front of him. The shape, for a moment only, shows the raw wrath of man.

"Why are there people like you," a young voice sounded.

"Why turn them into livestock while maintaining goodness! Why don't you fall for the monster of inhumanity while you're on the dead end! Why can't you be my knight? Why didn't you offer me a hand in salvation when I was still a innocent child! Why didn't you tell me that I would protect you by righteousness?

"... I didn't know you were in pain"

That's why.

To Sabitoga, who answered low, Mitten looked up to the ceiling and opened her mouth wide like a lion (Shishi). Mittens releasing emotions without sound eventually exhale the voice of the evil Lord, cloudy (garlic) as he looks up to heaven.

"Go to the island of the devil within ten days. I'll name the country and send it out to you in full swing." Grass "will monitor you until you land... if you show any signs of betrayal, we will send everyone you know to the afterlife. Got it? Reaper."
