Chapter 8 Starlight Fall
Count Kesane sat there decadently with blurred eyes. There are no scars on his body, but his spirit seems to have been tortured. Kendall knelt in front of him and whispered. The count's eyes slowly focused on him, his lips trembled slightly, and his tone was full of pain: "Kendall... you're still here..."
"Father," Kendall struggled to help him up, "I'll get you out of here first. Let me solve the rest. I will find the woman who caused all the disasters. I can kill her, just like killing the Dark Knight, and let her pay for her evil..."
"No," the count grasped his arm tightly. "You can't kill her. Anyone can, only you can."
"Keviye said..."
"Don't care what they say," the blood in the count's eyes melted in the condensed tears. "You must not go to her. I must not let you... kill your mother."
It seemed that lightning penetrated the surface and hit the viscount. Kendal only felt that his whole head was shocked. He said in a trembling voice, "Father, what are you talking about? My mother is still in Luupou..."
The count said excitedly, "No, Ruth is your mother."
Kendall was stunned and couldn't speak. But Wei Ye fell to the ground pale and stroked his face uncontrollably: "Oh, my God, he said it. What should I do? Damn, damn it."
"I hurt her," the count's tone seemed to be a dying old man making a final confession. "At that time, I was still very young. When I first saw her, I couldn't help but be impressed by her beauty and kindness. I approached her desperately and tried to get her smile. I made her heartless. Dharma ignores my love, but this love has become the pain that binds me and her.
"The goddess's sacrifice was unmarried, and at that time, I was only the second son of the family and had no territorial inheritance at all, so one night, I secretly found her and begged her to leave with me and go anywhere. However, she disagreed that her innocence and kindness prevented her from acting indisrespect of others. What she served was the last goddess church on the continent. If even she did such a shameful thing as elopement, the Norswell Chapel would have an excuse to demolish it. Her refusal angered me. I felt that I loved her so much, but I couldn't get any reward. I felt that since I was willing to give up everything for her, she should also give the same love. My heart was so angry that I lost my mind..."
The count couldn't help trembling: "I raped her."
Kendall looked at his father in shock, and his whole heart was blank.
"I committed such a crime, but there was not much hatred in her heart," the count's eyes penetrated Kendall and looked nowhere. "She just avoided me from seeing her again. Until one day a few months later, she came to me in the rain and told me that she was pregnant with my child. She couldn't let her child be strangled and had to choose to leave with me. But I hesitated. Due to my brother's unfortunate death, I had inherited it. I thought I could do anything for her, but I suddenly found that I was wrong. I pretended to promise her in surprise, but began to hesitate in my heart, and Aria, who was regarded as a sister by Ruth, took this opportunity to** me with words. Ruth never thought that when she finally decided to put down her heavy responsibility and choose personal happiness, she received an invitation to my engagement dinner with Alia. And even after such betrayal, even if she was told that she was pregnant with the devil's child, she still did not expose my crimes... Oh, my God, what have I done to her? What kind of darkness have I plunged her into in the past 20 years? Ruth... Ruth... you see me! Ruth..."
Count Kessern suddenly pushed Kendall away, stumbled into the dark tunnel like a wounded beast, and disappeared. Kendall sat there in a daze, stiff as a stone.
Viye climbed to his side uneasily and called his name softly. Kendall looked at her with a dull face: "Rose...my mother?"
"Yes," Wei Ye replied sadly, "she gave birth to you on the day of the goddess's disaster day. The others lost their traces after being swallowed up by the darkness, and only the newborn you stayed. Your grandfather learned all the truth from Schweini and took you in.
"You have known this for a long time? Did you try your best to lead me here to let me kill Ruth... my own mother?" He watched the girl's eyes become painful and indifferent, and he kept moving back, as if the girl in front of him suddenly became devilish ugly and unbearable.
"This is the only choice," the girl stretched out her hand in vain, but could only grasp the nothingness. "Only her death can release those imprisoned souls, and only her death can stop the dark evil god from stepping on this earth. Kendall, believe me..."
"How do you make me believe you? No, leave me, witch, don't follow me anymore. That person is right. Witches are more corrupt than undead beings!" Kendall turned around and staggered to leave.
Viye called him painfully and begged him not to leave, but he could not stop Kendall's footsteps. Kendall's body shook, as if the whole world was spinning, and the sudden truth bit his soul. He knelt down and gasped.
The girl's call subsided, followed by a slight moan that even the stone couldn't bear to hear. This moan was so sad and painful that even the most iron-hearted person couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He suddenly turned around, but saw that Wei Ye had curled up on the ground and squirmed painfully like ten thousand ants. She rubbed the ground with her skin and bit her arm with her teeth, but she could not relieve the torture at all.
Kendall forgot his hatred for the girl and ran back to hold the girl in his arms and comforted her desperately to relieve her pain. With his contact, the blue spots on Wei Ye's skin began to fade, and the pain gradually calmed down.
"Don't leave me," she hugged Kendall tightly for fear that he would leave again. "Tell me with you. Don't leave me alone..."
Kendall picked her up and walked slowly in the direction until he left the tunnel and walked out of the bloody arch. On the ground, the gathered dark clouds seemed to be pressing on their heads, and lightning was interspersed, just like the anger of the gods.
He put the girl in front of him and stared at her: "What the hell is going on? Tell me, Wei Ye, what on earth is torturing you?
"It's Schwyney's curse," Viye looked at him with tears in his eyes. "Kendal, there's one thing you don't know. Schwyney is actually Ruth's sister."
Kendall was stunned.
Wei Ye continued: "After the incident, she predicted the return of her sister and predicted that the dark god Sardine would use your mother to open the door of the blood pool and bring endless death into the world. Only you can stop it, because only you can kill your mother. But someone must guide you, but she can't do it herself, because she predicted that she could not live to this moment, so she could only find someone to complete all this for her, and that person was me. She took me, who was just born, to the dark forest and taught me to be a witch. However, selfishness is the nature of a witch. How can she believe that I will not go against her will after her death?
"Your curse?"
"Yes, she cursed me with spells," Wei Ye's face twisted with fear in her memories. "She gave me the deepest pain as I was only a child, and as I grew up, the pain would only get heavier and heavier. She even made me unable to choose to commit suicide, so since I was a child, I could only open it in the dark. With eyes, enduring endless torture, waiting for your arrival..."
"Oh, my God," Kendal hugged her tightly and felt a tearing pain in her heart. "How could she do such a cruel thing?"
Viye buried his head deep in his arms: "Kendall, don't leave me. Only by your side can I get rid of her shackles. Only by staying by your side can I really fall asleep and get inner peace. You said you would always guard me, and you swore.
"I won't leave you again, believe me."
The torrential rain poured down, brushing the sky and the earth into gray. The wind blew and roared in a terrible howling in the Valley of May. The two hugged each other tightly and comforted each other's hearts in this dirty tide of anger...
Suddenly, a loud sound came from the tunnel, which was even louder than the sound of a storm. Countless shelled creatures poured out of the arch. They bypassed Kendal and rushed out of the valley like waves, mixed with blood ants in the demon realm that were much larger than those seen in Shelley Village, and many black beetles...
"Where do they go?"
"The door of the blood pool is still open," Wei Ye replied sadly. "More monsters will come out of it and look for their food. They will destroy every village and city they encounter until the living life on the whole continent returns to death. At that time, the dark god Shading will step out of the demon realm and come to harvest every soul that died with resentment.
"And can I stop all this?"
"Yes, it's just you."
After a long silence, Kendal slowly stood up and let the rain hit him: "Let's go in. I don't know what to do, but if it's really my responsibility, I don't want to escape it.
"Well," Wei Ye smiled slightly, "guide you step by step, this is what I have to do. You are the root of my curse, but you are also my only happiness.
In the tunnel, Kendal slowly moved forward with Wei Ye on his back. Due to the timely dark frenzy, there were only white bones left on the knights and warcraft bodies on the ground. The colorful prism on the wall is still shining dimly, very soft and beautiful...
"Weiye."
"Hmm?"
"What happened that day?" Kendall asked softly, "What made my mother into the darkness? What made me take responsibility for this moment?
"It's 'starlight falling'," Viye whispered in his ear, "I once saw the scene in Schweini's mirror. It was a morning when the fog had not yet dissipated. The purple star knight Luciah Hoffman broke into the goddess's church with his soldiers. Ruth had just given birth to her child in pain, but had to prepare for death. Your grandfather hoped to take her back for trial, but the court motioned the Purple Knight to kill you and your mother on the spot. Your mother cried and begged them to let you go, but she refused to say who your father was. The others in the church watched timidly and indifferently. No one spoke for her, and the plea of a noble woman could only make the twisted hearts of the soldiers feel happy and excited. They even refused to let their mother die before the child, so in the many eyes mixed with indifference and excitement, Luciah Hoffman raised her sword and prepared to cut off the head of a newborn baby in front of a mother...
"However, as a mother's love is beyond their imagination. At the moment when it determined everyone's fate, Ruth sang the forbidden spell inherited from ancient times, and even the gods could not refuse the will to protect the child at all costs. It is the only terrible spell given by the goddess of light and the dark evil god. Everything condenses the blessing of life and the curse of death at the same time, but this spell forcibly strips this life and death with the help of falling starlight. All blessings are given to the children in front of you, and all curses belong to themselves..."
Kendall stopped and only felt that his whole heart was sad.
"This is what happened," Wei Ye continued. "The mother who launched the forbidden spell fell into the depths of the blood pool because of the most terrible curse. Everyone in the church was forced to become a lifeless existence. Only that child lived in the world because of the deepest blessings, no matter how powerful the evil Evil can't hurt him, and no matter how terrible the monster is, it can only avoid him timidly..."
Weiye gently wiped away the tears on Kendal's face: "However, it didn't end like this. Ruth was originally the spokesperson of the goddess in the world, and her fall made the dark god Shastine see the hope of stepping out of the demon realm. Bright faith and cursed soul make your mother the key to open the door of the blood pool, and the deepest curse also makes no one else on earth can hurt her... except you.
"So, I have to kill her... the woman who took all the curses to protect me?"
"Think about it, Kendall," Wei Ye said sadly, "what will the world be like if you don't do this? How many innocent people will die because of this? Those children who have nothing to do with this crime, even newborn babies, can watch them turn into white bones and stand there without any damage?
After a long silence, Kendall moved again, but he walked very heavy, as if he were bound by invisible silk layer by layer.
Unconsciously, they came to the end of the maze, where a skeleton in bright armor fell to the ground. Kendall put down the night and knelt tremblingly next to the skeleton. His throat could not make a sound because of the infarction, and his eyes could not blink because of sadness.
After all, his father, the lord of Kesern County, ended his guilt and regret with death.
"Kendall," Wei Ye whispered, "time is running out. We must continue to move forward."
Nodding silently, Kendal picked up his father's sword that fell to the ground, stood up, and walked like walking in the mud...
