Chapter 33: The Assassin Broken by Gentleness
***
The place where the carriage broke down was not far from Verose’s mansion.
After getting off the carriage, Verose walked straight towards her home following the route she remembered.
Tap tap —

The street lamps on both sides of the road seemed to be somewhat broken, with their dim yellow light flickering there, adding a touch of eerie and horrifying atmosphere.
There were few pedestrians in the wealthy district in the evening. One would often have to walk for a while before encountering one or two passersby on the street. It was under these circumstances that Verose encountered the assassin who came to kill her.

He stood under the dim yellow street lamp, wearing a black robe. Upon seeing Verose, he pulled out a shiny dagger from his sleeve.
Verose hesitated for two or three seconds on the spot, only thinking of running away when she saw him sprinting towards her.
She couldn’t help it; it was the first time she realized that someone would actually dare to harm her sweet, gentle, lovable, and caring little nun.
It seemed she still hadn’t done enough.

Verose didn’t run very fast. To shake off the assassin, she turned into several alleys, but without exception, she was caught up by the assassin.
Finally, she entered a dead end.
Looking at the wall about 3 meters high in front of her, she slightly frowned.
Because of Lyla’s presence, she wanted to avoid revealing her monster true form if possible, so she had tried to shake off the assassin. But now that she was in this dead end, it seemed she might be forced to reveal her monster true form?

… Let’s take it one step at a time, it would be best if she could persuade the assassin to have a change of heart.
Verose didn’t want to risk being caught by Lyla again by turning back into a monster.

“Heh, you ran into a dead end by yourself? Not even the goddess can save you now.”
The assassin played with the dagger in his hand, approaching her step by step, while Verose turned around, leaned against the wall, and put on a pitiful expression.
“Who are you? What do you want to do?”
“Who am I? Heh.”
Seemingly convinced that the girl before him was doomed to die, the assassin took off his black hood. Verose also saw his face clearly in the remaining sunlight.
“Barna?”

“That’s right, I am Barna.”
Remembering some things about Barna, Verose patted her chest as if relieved and asked, “What are you here for? Is it because of your brother’s matter?”
Seeing her relief, Barna laughed coldly in his heart.
He knew what Verose was thinking. She probably thought that he, Barna, wasn’t here to kill her, and that everything was just a misunderstanding.
How ridiculous.
“Mm, of course it’s because of my brother’s matter. Although you cured his illness before, his biggest problem wasn’t the illness, but poverty.”

“Someone offered 200 gold coins for your life, and I accepted. You should forgive me, right? After all, I’m only doing this reluctantly to save my brother’s life.”
Licking the blade of the dagger in his hand, Barna wanted to see an expression of terror and dismay on Verose’s face.

But unfortunately, he failed.
He only saw a trace of concern on her face, and besides that, calmness, as if her life didn’t matter at all.
Doesn’t she fear death at all?
Snorting coldly, Barna was about to continue intimidating her when he found Verose speaking: “But if you kill me, you and your brother will both be wanted by the church.”

“Do you think I’m afraid? Changing cities and identities is as easy as pie for me.”
“There will always be traces left behind.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll clean up as thoroughly as possible. Even if I’m discovered, at worst I’ll just be a fugitive for a while. As for you, it’s time for you to die now.”
Verose’s voice was very calm, without any fear in it, which made Barna very displeased.

Shouldn’t a girl of Verose’s age scream in panic even at the sight of a slaughterhouse? Why is she so calm now when he says he’s going to kill her?
Barna couldn’t understand and stopped trying to. He raised his dagger and was about to take a step forward when he saw Verose hand over a money pouch.

The gold coins collided with each other inside the pouch, making a fragile sound.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
Verose looked at him with eyes full of worry and persuaded:
“Don’t do anything wrong. Here’s a pouch of money, there’s about 30 gold coins inside. It’s not much, but if you need it, you can have it all.”
“The church’s power is stronger than you think. I don’t want you to make a mistake and regret it for half your life, or even implicate your brother.”

“Will you give up this commission?”
The girl’s voice, like a clear spring, slowly flowed into Barna’s heart, allowing him to calm down and carefully reconsider what the girl had said.
And this reconsideration left him stunned on the spot.
He realized that Verose wasn’t afraid of him killing her; she was worried about him, worried that after killing her, he wouldn’t be able to escape the church’s judgment, worried that his brother would also be implicated.
But it was Verose who was about to be killed, right? Why was she worried about him?
“…”
Ẅ ӗ b ṅ о̃v̇е̃l̊ Е̃ n ům a
After a long silence, he pointed at his own nose and asked, “You’re worried about me?”
“I just don’t want to watch you make a mistake.”

The girl’s forced explanation made a nameless fire quickly rise in Barna’s heart. He slapped away the money pouch the girl had handed over with a “pa” sound, and manipulating the dagger in his hand, he approached the girl step by step.
“Mistake? I’m not making any mistake! You are worried about me!”
He couldn’t understand why the girl before him could be so calm. Why, when she was the one about to be killed, was she still worried about the assassin?
Was it mockery?
W̌ еb n_õv̀ёl̆ È ǹ u m̆a
No, Barna knew from Verose’s clear eyes that this wasn’t mockery.
She treated him just like she treated others, with all the kindness in her heart, even though she knew he wanted to kill her.
She probably thought he could still be saved, that if he stopped at this point and put down the dagger in his hand, he could return to his previous happy life and live an ordinary life as a small-town resident again.
She didn’t want him to regret for half his life, nor did she want his brother to be implicated. She tried to persuade him, but never thought about herself.

Perhaps she thought that death was lighter than the suffering they would endure.
Barna looked at her as if he was seeing the legendary Saintess.
W̃ eb̆ n̊оv_е l Ё nūm а
No, perhaps even a Saintess wouldn’t be as kind as Verose. She gave goodness to everyone she saw, regardless of whether these people harbored malice towards her.
If he could live again, Barna thought he would surely protect such a Saintess, burying all enemies who came with blood and sweat.
But now, such a Saintess only drove him crazy.
What he wanted to see was the ugly state of prey under the threat of death! He wanted to hear the heavenly sound of their desperate pleas! He wanted to satisfy the perverted desires in his heart!
He was a dirty and ugly beast, an irredeemable scum!
He didn’t deserve to be saved by such a Saintess! Nor did he want to bear that incomparable guilt after killing her!

“Do you know? With just one stab of this knife into your heart, you’ll be dead! Dead! You should be worried about yourself! Not me!”
“No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat raw here! Those people you’ve helped won’t pass by here, your corpse will soon rot and stink here!”
“Look at you, such a pretty face, soon it will be full of maggots. They’ll crawl in and out of your hollow eyes, eating your flesh clean.”
“Aren’t you, afraid?”
Barna waved the dagger in his hand while staring into Verose’s eyes, wanting to get even a hint of fear from the girl.
However, unfortunately, he couldn’t find any fear in them even until Verose started speaking.

“But if you kill me, you’ll die too. Your brother will be left alone in the world without his brother, he’ll be very lonely.”
After a long silence, Barna broke down.

He raised the dagger in his hand, trembling, with a crazed look in his eyes.
“I shouldn’t have said all this to you, you silly girl who only thinks about others! Die! Just die already!”
