Chapter 881 – The End of Revenge (2)
When I showed Nari the gold rose that had already been captured, her first expression was like that of a child who had received some kind of Christmas present.
It seems that Geumdallae, who directly used the phantom pain, suffered more than Geumdallae. Even though Geumdallae was on the sidelines and went along with it, it didn’t seem like she took the lead in harassing him anyway.
On the contrary, the expression on Gold Rose’s face when she first met Nari was truly a sight to behold. Because he had an expression like ‘You were the culprit’ just by looking at him.
“Town!! Ugh!! Ugh!!!”
Even though his mouth was blocked, he couldn’t say everything he was thinking.
It was something that could not be helped. Even when I told him it wouldn’t work, he bit his tongue so hard that I had no choice but to forcibly fix it, so he couldn’t move it.
I couldn’t allow myself to escape the pain I was going through by fainting for no reason. Even considering what she did to Nari.
With her whole body tied up, and her wires draped all over her body, it wasn’t that difficult to teach her how to use her gold rose, or more precisely, how to torture her. Most of her torture methods were similar to the way she treated the calendula, with just a few additions.
They only added additional rules specifically for the golden rose, such as being careful not to try to bite it with its teeth because it still has aggression, or feeding it downwards if it refuses to eat.
And if she really wanted to, she wouldn’t mind being tortured to the point where her mind would be completely broken. In any case, even if only No. 2 was properly trained, there was no need to use No. 1, so it didn’t matter if it was broken now.
“Lady Nari.”
“… Yes, Seongcheol.”
“I will be waiting in front of the door for a while, so you can come out after you have had enough.”
I didn’t bother to observe Nari bullying her No. 1. Perhaps she is just a somewhat more severe torture than the one that tormented No. 2.
I didn’t have any intention of stopping her from pouring out all the anger she had been building up on her golden rose, but she didn’t want me to see it either.
She had been torturing the two women for several days, and she was getting sick of it. In the first place, this was something she started for Eunbyeol, so after handing over to her, she didn’t want to worry about it.
“Ugh… !! Ugh, uh… !!”
Of course, when I tried to leave while the torture was in full swing, Gold Rose lowered her head in desperation. It probably means that you shouldn’t leave this place, leaving only yourself and Geumnari alone.
Well, Ssangnyeon No. 1’s doctor wasn’t that important anymore. Looking at Eunbyeol’s distinctly different attitude, it seemed like it had already been decided who would be raised as a spy dog.
“Okay, good job. “I think I’m going to spend some quality time with this damn bitch I haven’t seen in a long time, so I’m going to enjoy it to the fullest.”
“I will be waiting, Miss Nari.”
“Ugh! Ugh… !!!”
-Clap.
So, after leaving Na-ri in the torture room of No. 1 and allowing them to spend plenty of time alone together.
After about three hours, Eunbyeol came out of the torture room, drenched in sweat and breathing exhausted.
“Haa, ha, haa…”
“It looks like you had a lot of fun.”
“… Sorry. For showing such an untidy appearance as a worker…”
“I can’t help it. How many years has it been? “Because it was my first chance to get revenge on your sisters who had been taking advantage of me.”
“…”
“So, how do you feel? “Are you feeling a little relieved inside?”
Eunbyeol quietly lowers her eyes and answers my question.
She came up with an answer that was somewhat expected but not very cool.
“I might feel a little sorry to say this to my master, who prepared for this situation to the best of my ability…”
“It’s okay, just tell me.”
“To be honest, it feels a bit vain. “I feel like a fool for having avoided a woman like this until now.”
“…”
“Well, of course, I’m not complaining to the master who made it this way. If my master had not been there, instead of taking revenge like this, I would have had to continue my life of indefinite flight and seclusion forever. Or maybe those women didn’t just kidnap me, they did more harm than that.
But after this happened, I felt like I had become the same person as my sisters back then… To be honest, I wasn’t as happy as I thought. Of course, I am very fortunate just to no longer have to live trapped and avoid other people’s gaze.”
Well, it seemed like this kind of reaction would come out. Because Eunbyeol’s personality wasn’t one to enjoy revenge that much from the beginning.
Rather, in her case, she was closer to the type of person who hoarded and grumbled about what had happened to her rather than venting it out as revenge. That’s why, even though the opportunity for revenge came back, she was only happy at first and not so happy now.
But no matter what, there was no need for Eun-byeol, her victim, to feel guilty toward her assailants, so all I could do was give her a little advice.
At least some advice that what she did today was definitely not wrong.
“Eunbyeol, I’m telling you because I think she’s misunderstanding something.”
“Yes?”
“In the first place, revenge is not something you do because you want to feel relieved. Revenge is something you do to avoid regret.”
“That’s true, but…”
“First, I think one thing is certain: the women have done something to deserve revenge on you. Even then, he shamelessly threatened Eunbyeol’s safety, and in fact, she almost got kidnapped once.”
“… Yes. “I am still grateful to my master for saving me at that time.”
“Well, repaying those women for what they did to you, Eunbyeol, might not be a very good way to get revenge. But what can you do? Don’t you think we should at least make them feel the same pain so that those women can understand, at least a little, what it felt like when you suffered?”
“… That is correct.”
I explained a little more why revenge is not vain to Eunbyeol, who quietly nodded and listened to me.
The more times she had to make a sound judgment, the more firmly she needed to hold on to her emotions.
“Even though revenge may feel futile now, it was something I had to do. “Whether you really should have done something or not is a decision you make after you have taken revenge.”
“Yes?”
“At least after you prove that you have the ability to do it, you begin to feel that revenge was futile. That it is better to break the chain of hatred on my part, that forgiveness is the best revenge… “It’s much better now than muttering things like that and not being able to do anything, right?”
“… “Yes.”
“At least Eunbyeol, you took your own chance at revenge. That’s an opportunity you got thanks to my help, but that’s not important. The important thing here is that you can choose whether to torture the golden rose and the azalea further.
And just in case, I don’t want you to think about letting things go too easily. You may be able to forgive, but you don’t know if those women who were your sisters have the same personality as you. If you are going to take revenge, you should leave no regrets.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“And if you feel like revenge is in vain, from now on, whenever you have time, write down the attitude they show towards you one by one. Or, it would be good to reflect on what you did to yourself in the past.
Then, at some point, when I feel lost, I read the records I wrote down. ‘Oh, that’s right. What I did to you at that time was so painful. At this time, I really wanted to kill you. This too. And this too.’
Of course, even if you do this, one day you may feel in vain and regret that you did something pointless, but anyway, you feel relieved at that moment, right? That’s enough. Because humans are inherently emotional animals.”
“…”
“There is nothing wrong with acting on spontaneous feelings. Even if you later think it was a mistake, you can act on your feelings now. After all, you can’t live without making a mistake, right?
And, well, even if you feel a little dazed right now, your feelings may change after you take revenge until you feel really relieved. “Really, Eunbyeol, don’t you think that the pain and suffering you’ve been through for years will be relieved by just a few hours of torture?”
“… Yes. It’s definitely not a problem that can be resolved in just one day, as the owner said.”
I finally conveyed my ‘true request’ to Eunbyeol, who seemed to have made up her mind.
In any case, whether Eun-byeol actively tortures them or just manages their survival, the fact that I have to leave the two women to Eun-byeol for a few days does not change.
“Do whatever you want for a while. Anyway, I was planning to leave those women in your care for two days.”
“… “Is it two days in reality?”
“Huh. So, about a month and a half to be exact. Of course, the dungeon entrance will remain open. Eunbyeol, so that you can go back and forth in and out of the dungeon as much as you like.
Actually, I think it would be nice if I could take care of most of it and just let Eunbyeol do whatever she wants, but I have a lot of work to do these days for that to happen.”
“No, it’s okay. Anyway, I am currently in a position where I have no specific affiliation. In the first place, the master ordered me to manage those women, so of course I followed him.”
“Thank you for saying that. For reference, you can use the food in the warehouse over there, but as for how to handle it…”
In the process, the personal affairs of Golden Rose and Geumdallae were transferred to Eunbyeol.
One and a half months is probably enough time for many reasons.
To verify whether No. 2 is really a woman who can be of help to me, and to break No. 1’s spirit enough to the point where revenge is not even a thought.
