"No? What are you talking about, Clyde?" Dora asked. "Are you saying that you didn't miss me?"

"I-I missed you!" Clyde replied because he had a feeling that if he replied otherwise, he would die a very miserable death.

"Really?"

"Yes! I missed you very much. In fact, I am regretting my decision to toss you aside. If only I took responsibility after getting you pregnant, then the three of us, along with our child, would have lived very happy lives."

The crazed smile disappeared on Dora's face as she stared at the Baron's second son with a serene gaze.

For some reason, Lux could feel that the current Dora is more dangerous than the one that he had seen before. It was as if the crazed smile earlier was just a facade of something more sinister that hid within the depths of her heart.

"Did you regret that time when we lost our child?" Dora asked calmly.

Clyde nodded desperately as if it was his last chance to appeal to that innocent teenage girl, whom he had tricked to spend the night with him a few years ago.

"Of course!" Clyde answered. "That was my child. How could I possibly not regret its death?"

"But you are the reason why he is dead, you know? You were the one that killed our firstborn son."

"I am truly sorry for what happened. Please, allow me to make it up to you! I will do anything. I swear that I will love you, and only you!"

Lux then saw a smile appear on Dora's face.

Although the pretty Dwarf was smiling, it gave him a feeling of sadness and heartache.

It was the smile of someone who had lost someone very important to them. And this was true for her, as she lost the child she had protected inside her body for several months.

This was the first time that Lux had seen such a smile, and for a brief moment, he could see the true feelings inside Dora's heart, which no one had seen since she had disappeared from Wolfpine Barony.

"Words are cheap, Clyde," Dora said calmly. "But, don't worry. I forgive you."

"R-Really?" Clyde looked at the pretty Dwarf with a hopeful gaze, as if he had been spared from the death penalty.

As long as he could survive his current predicament, he was willing to say anything, do anything, even tell her words that he didn't really mean.

The Baron's second son would, of course, abandon Dora as soon as the Monster with seven heads, who was looking at him with amusement, disappeared from his sight.

"Yes, I will forgive you," Dora said as she once again gave Clyde a very sweet smile that made the hairs on the back of Lux's neck stand on end.

"Thank you!" Clyde shouted. "I promise this time I will do it right! We will live as a happy family. As for the child we lost, don't worry! I can give you as many children as you want. We can build a big family together!"

"...Right." Dora nodded. "Since you want to be with me so badly, then I guess I have no choice but to accept it, right?"

One of the heads of the Seven-Headed Dog laughed.

Suddenly, Clyde's body froze in place before it slowly rose up from the ground.

Clyde wanted to scream, but no voice came out of his mouth. He flew helplessly towards the head that laughed at him, unable to close his eyes even if he wanted to.

When Clyde's and the Dog's eyes met, the dwarf's body shuddered once before a calm and infatuated look appeared on his face.



The ropes that bound him split apart, and the Baron's second son shifted his gaze to Dora, who was looking at him with a smile on her face.

"My love," Clyde said. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I've hurt you very much."

Clyde's green eyes had turned purple, and he looked lovingly at the young lady whom he had tossed aside almost a year ago.

"Mmm, don't worry, I forgive you," Dora said as he reached out to the Baron's second son, who would now live and die for her sake. "Since you wanted to be with me so much, I guess I have no choice but to accept you, right?"

"I'm sorry, my Love. I promise to dedicate everything to you from this day onwards."

"I'm sure you will… I'm sure you will."

Lux clenched his fist, digging his nails into his palms in order to keep himself sane as he watched the scene in front of his eyes.

He knew that Clyde had been stripped of his freedom and will for the rest of his life, due to whatever the monster had done to him.

"I love happy endings," One of the monster's heads said before glancing down at Lux with its crimson eyes. "Don't you agree, Half-Elf?"

Lux forced himself to nod, and agree to the monster's words. He was afraid that if he didn't, he would suffer the same fate as Clyde, who would now live and die according to Dora's will.

Dora, who was now hugging the Baron's second son, shifted her gaze to the Half-Elf, who was ready to flee at any moment.

"You are the one that brought Clyde to me," Dora said. "What reward do you want?"

The lady dwarf smiled at Lux, but it never reached her eyes. It was as if she was just promising him a reward, when in fact, she didn't plan on giving him anything.

Even so, Lux forced himself to talk. He knew that if he didn't, he would regret not saying anything at a later time.

"My life," Lux said through gritted teeth. "As well as the life of my friends, and the people of this city."

Dora's eyes widened in surprise after hearing Lux's words. However, this surprise didn't last for long before a chuckle escaped her lips.

A moment later, this chuckle turned into laughter.

A crazy laughter that spread across the entire city, making the blood of those who heard it turn cold.

"I think that is an appropriate reward," Dora replied with a smile. "What are the names of your friends?"

Lux then said Cai's, Keane's, Princess Anastasia's, Millie's, and the Adventurer Guildmaster's name. He wanted to say more names, but Dora's face was telling him that adding more would make her make her promise null and void.

"Very well, the names of the people you said will be spared," Dora stated. "As for the rest…"

Four of the seven dog heads opened their mouths and unleashed a breath attack that instantly obliterated everything it touched.

In just a span of a second, half of the city was already destroyed and turned into ruins.

Screams, cries for help, curses, and wailing reverberated in the surroundings as the smile on Dora's face widened. It was as if she was enjoying the death and destruction around her, making her pretty face contort into something hideous.

"All of you will accompany my child to the Underworld!" Dora shouted as the four Heads once again unleashed a breath attack, destroying the parts of the town that had survived its earlier strike.

At that moment, a green-haired Dwarf soared towards the skies, holding the Third Princess of the Kingdom of Gweliven in her arms.

One of the Dogs shifted its gaze on Millie and Princess Anastasia, and was about to unleash an attack to kill them. But, the black-robed man spoke out, preventing it from doing what it was supposed to do.

"Don't kill those two," the black-robed man said. "They are two of the people that he mentioned earlier."

The Dog Head clicked its tongue before shifting its gaze on the part of the city that hadn't been destroyed yet.

From the very start, they had no intention of letting anyone in Dunspear City survive for it was the promise they made to Dora, who had helped them unlock the seals that bound their main body.

Lux felt conflicted after seeing the completion of the mission.

He, Millie, and Princess Anastasia had survived, but everyone in the city had been killed without mercy by the Monster of Ruin, which was known as a walking Calamity.

The Half-Elf pondered if there was another way he could have salvaged the situation, but after everything that happened, he knew that there was really nothing he could do aside from plead for his life, his friends' lives, as well as the lives of Princess Anastasia and Millie.

Suddenly, a series of words appeared in front of Lux, which made him bite his lip due to helpness and frustration.

He didn't expect that things would turn out this way, but after seeing the next quest that appeared in front of him, he felt as if he had lost the ability to breathe for a brief moment.
