I was expelled from the team and was recruited by the demons?

"I helped Iloti because she's my friend, what about you

, Kayla?" Eli

craned her legs, staring at Kayla's eyes full of shock.

“...... Does that matter?"

Kayla tucked her bayonet into the scabbard at her waist, staring at Eli with such an almost scrutinizing gaze, even she was a little overwhelmed, not to mention that Eli had a fierce Isabel standing behind her.

"Since you're on the same front, you have to be honest.

Eli held his head, his tone sounding like a smile, but with an inescapable sense of oppression.

“...... For revenge, that's all. "

I didn't know about you, Mr. Eli, who turned out to be such an aggressive man.

Kayla was silent for a moment, but finally told her true purpose.

"I'm glad you can tell the truth, but there are some things that you don't say, and no one can help you.

After getting Kayla's reply, Eli put away the smile on her face.

He looked silently at Kayla's exposed arms, or rather, at the strange scars on her body.

"How much do you already know..."

The moment Eli's words fell, Kayla's body couldn't help but tremble.

This time, instead of showing off the scars as she had done at the Vins Mansion before, she tugged at the lace sleeves on her arms in an attempt to cover up the shocking scars.

"Kayla Aquilay, the adopted daughter of the Aquila family, the heir to the Silver Dragon bloodline.

Eli reached back, and Isabel duly handed a scroll into his hand.

It was Kayla's bloodline identification map, and it was also the top-secret information that Elena had stolen from Kayla's bedroom with the puppet.

Kayla looked at the yellowed scroll in a daze, she didn't expect that after so many years, she had been desperately hiding in the past, and finally someone would find it.

And she had to face her tragic memories again.

"I have investigated in advance, the poison in Vins is called 'Randy's Blood', and only the corpse of the silver dragon Randy can have this kind of thing, and the 'Randy's Heart Pulp' you use to detoxify can only be made by the silver dragon Randy himself.

"The storage time of Randy's heart is extremely short, and if it is not made and used, this thing has no detoxification ability.

"Since the silver dragon has been dead for so many years, who is making this thing?

"I had a lot of guesses, but I didn't know what happened until I got this bloodline identification map.

Eli tossed the scroll back in his hand, and it rolled in circles along the carpet beneath the men's feet until it reached Kayla's feet.

Kayla, on the other hand, gritted her teeth, and the feeling of being uncovered was not pleasant.

Even if she knew that she would have to face these things.

Most importantly, she didn't expect Eli to know about it to this point.

"Huh—"

After a long silence, Kayla slowly let go of her clenched fists.

She grabbed the collar at the top of her chest, and eventually tore the whole half of the robe, revealing the proud roundness of her underwear.

But the spring light that should have presented a beautiful state, but at this time, the pupils of the person watching it shrank sharply, and it was difficult to look directly at all.

Countless fine black veins spread all over Kayla's chest, and those veins were like intertwined tree roots, lining the girl's originally snow-white breasts as if they had been under some extremely vicious curse.

The streaks ran along Kayla's skin and down her limbs, but the other end focused on her heart.

And at the mouth of her heart, there is an incomparably terrifying black heart.

A huge heart that stretched the flesh and skin on her chest to bulge.

That thing is definitely not the human heart.

And those scars seem to be used to control the movement of those veins.

The burn scar pressed those veins on the girl's chest, so that her whole body would not become this non-human and ghost-like appearance.

So Eli was right, these scars were made by Kayla herself with a soldering iron.

"The Heart of the Silver Dragon—"

Isabel stared silently at the black heart, she had felt something similar in Raffle before.

"Mr. Eli, you are wrong about one thing.

"I've never been the inheritor of the Silver Dragon's bloodline, I'm just a cursed living dead.

Kayla stared indifferently at the boy in front of her, her tone desperate, as if she had already recognized reality.

She opened her mouth and whispered words that had never been spoken to anyone:

"There is such a person who has an innate ability that allows them to carry the power of other races, and I am such a person.

"I am an orphan, an orphan who survived in the northern realm of the kingdom more than ten years ago.

"Later, the village where I lived was burned down by the Demon King Army in the north, and if it weren't for the Holy Wood Knights led by Vins passing there, I would have died in that ghost place.

"I thought it was going to be like this, but... The royal spies found that my body was capable of containing the demonic powers, so they brought me back to the palace.

"My constitution made me a puppet carrying the heart of the silver dragon, and in order not to attract the attention of Lord Iloti, they made me the nominal adopted heir of the Aguilai family.

"Who would have thought that I would be like this, but behind my back I was a knife in the hands of the royal family to kill people.

Kayla sneered and pointed to Eli's eyes

, asking in despair, "You said you wanted to help me, but who can help me?"

"All I want to do now is kill everyone in the royal family and kill myself,

I don't want to live with this body anymore."

"So yes, that's right, you don't have to worry about my position, I'm Lord Ilodi's most loyal lackey.

"Now that you know everything you want to know, is there anything else you want to ask, just say."

After saying these words in one breath, Kayla's whole body was like a deflated ball, and she fell directly to the ground.

The hands holding the ground trembled slightly, but if it weren't for this, she was afraid that she would have been unable to support it and fell to the ground.

Eli looked at the girl in front of her, who was almost out of strength, and fell into a deep silence.

He had thought that things would be complicated, and he had guessed that Kayla might have experienced some terrible tragedy.

But when he actually heard about it, Eli still had some hard time accepting it.

At this moment, it was once again clear to him that this was reality, not a game world.

Everyone is a living person and has their own story.

"Is everything in this world, when it comes to power, dirty and dirty?" Isabel

looked at Kayla in front of her, and couldn't help but have such a question.

"Power itself is not dirty, but it makes people's hearts dirty.

Eli untied his coat and got up and walked over to Kayla, covering Kayla's bare chest with the robe in his hand.

"It's hard for you, I didn't mean to reveal your scars, I just wanted to know what happened.

"Since we're going to help Ilody, I've got to make sure you really mean it.

Eli looked at Kayla and sighed softly.

Who is the game of "Phantom Sword Dragon Pool", and how can there be such a bizarre plot setting hidden in it?

"... It's okay, I don't have anyone who can say these things, I said it... On the contrary, I feel better.

Calming down, Kay tugged at the clothes wrapped around her chest, then shook her head with a wry smile.

"The curse may not be unravelable, you may not believe me now, but as you will realize later, what I said was not a lie.

Eli stood up and took Kayla's hand as she helped the girl in front of her to her feet.

"Just as you're comforting me.

Kayla smiled silently, and then regained her cold appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away, she looked up at Eli and continued to ask

, "Now that Lord Iloti is hiding, and I can't hear from her here, what are you going to do next, Mr. Eli?"

"Four Dukes, apart from you and Vins,

what happened to the other two?"

Instead of answering Kayla's question, Eli threw out another question.

"Those two are both from the Great Prince's faction, and I originally thought they were also on the side of Lord Iloti, but after the news of Lord Iloti's death came out, those two people directly sided with each other... You're going to woo them?" Kayla

frowned, if that was the case, things would get even more cumbersome.

"There is no need to co-opt, even if the wall grass is kept, it will only add variables.

"Since it's a struggle for the throne, people should die.

Eli looked up, and a pair of gloomy amber eyes were filled with an incomparably deep black streamer.

Even Eli himself didn't realize that the way he was thinking now had long since broken away from the shackles of this world.
