“How does it feel to be locked up in prison looking so pathetic?”

Jin asked with an indifferent expression.

Nobles usually got locked up in decent rooms even when they committed crimes, but the crime committed by the Kiris Household was nothing less than treason.

Since this was a place for confining the worst criminals, all three people’s clothes were covered in dust and filth.

They couldn’t even wash, so their matted hair and skin were extremely dirty.

In contrast, Jin, who had been comfortably staying at the Imperial Palace while handling the war’s aftermath, had skin so radiant it practically glowed.

The dress specially prepared by Bizra was so dazzlingly gorgeous with its intricately woven jewels.

It was a dress so precious that even the Kiris Household, who had managed to establish themselves as successful central nobility thanks to joining hands with ‘Evil’, wouldn’t dare dream of affording.

Not to mention Ordel standing beside her.

She too was wearing a beautiful dress that Rute had carefully prepared for her.

The stark contrast made the faces of the three Kiris Household members flush bright red with shame and humiliation.

Jin watched this scene with an indifferent expression.

In the past, it was always them who wore gorgeous dresses while looking down pitifully at her sleeping crumpled in the dusty attic room.

Now it was completely reversed.

So she should feel exhilarated, but…

‘Surprisingly, I feel nothing at all.’

Just a little refreshed, perhaps?

How strange. There was a time when I wanted to see this sight.

‘I really have let go of all my past resentment.’

Jin looked at Ordel beside her.

She was looking only at her with worry, as if the three people locked in prison didn’t matter at all.

Her one precious friend, the benefactor who helped her let go of past pain.

I see.

Ordel, the life on Earth with Cha Siwon was happier than I thought.

Seeing how I’ve even let go of the resentment I thought I’d never forget until death.

“In the name of the Holy Maiden of the Annihilation God, I was considering making you suffer continuously even after death.”

At Jin’s words, the faces of the three Kiris Household members who had been glaring at her hardened stiffly.

“H-Ho-Holy Maiden of the Annihilation God…?”

Sara Kiris’s lips trembled violently.

No wonder the atmosphere felt ominous!

If she was a Holy Maiden, her original status as a commoner wasn’t the problem. Rather, she was a more fearsome existence than even royalty.

“W-what wrong did we do to you, why would the Holy Maiden of the Annihilation God…”

Yoanna’s complexion also turned deathly pale.

The fact that Ordel had become the true Holy Maiden of the Sun God was unbelievable, but the weight carried by the title of Holy Maiden of the Annihilation God was extraordinary.

There was a reason the Crown Prince used respectful language!

“You did many wrongs. The Ordel you tormented…”

Jin looked at Ordel.

The three people also turned their gazes to Ordel.

“…is a very precious person to me. She’s the benefactor who saved me, so would I want to forgive those who tormented such a person?”

Jin twisted her lips with an ice-cold expression.

Come to think of it, these bastards must have tormented her as usual, thinking Cha Siwon was me, right?

I’ve let go of past resentment, but I can’t forgive that.

【’Light of Indomitability and Faith’ tattles that those bastards mocked, looked down on, and mistreated this god’s Holy Maiden.】

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ tattles that they even starved Ordel and once drove her out without giving her even a sip of water.】

Jin’s face froze like frost at the System Messages that appeared one after another.

I already felt sorry for possessing my troubled past body…

They dared to not just mistreat but even starve her?

A child who can’t live without food?

“I don’t know about other things, but I absolutely cannot forgive starving Ordel.”

“What? How did you know?”

When Jin muttered quietly, Ordel’s eyes widened in surprise.

She had never said a word about it, worried Jin might feel sorry for nothing, so how on earth…

Don’t tell me.

“Why are these gods so loose-lipped?”

Who else would have told her?

It could only be the Sun God and Annihilation God.

Ordel held her forehead and shook her head.

“The Annihilation God is the deity who guides the souls of the dead. You too will fall into his hands when you die.”

Jin gripped the prison bars and whispered chillingly.

At the Holy Maiden’s angry voice, the three people hugged each other and trembled.

But Jin had no mercy.

“Your souls will not find salvation even in death. Even as spirits, you’ll suffer from insatiable hunger that can never be satisfied.”

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ nods vigorously, saying to just leave it to him.】

“Don’t worry. Joseph Kiris, who died first, is also suffering in the afterlife. The family will reunite harmoniously after a long time. Congratulations.”

Jin smiled brightly at the three people.

At the Holy Maiden’s unspeakably cruel curse, the three people let their hands drop helplessly.

Their faces had completely lost hope.

It would be better for them to live forever in prison rather than die.

“Let’s go, Ordel.”

Having left behind a curse that would become reality, Jin turned around sharply.

Her retreating figure as she left the prison without looking back once was unwavering and upright.

Ordel, who had been quietly watching this, turned her gaze to the three people with drooping hands.

“What exactly did we do so wrong? We were the ones who rescued you when you were about to live like a beggar with nothing.”

Sara Kiris glared at Ordel and muttered.

However, she was so drained of strength that no venom could be felt at all.

Of course, that didn’t mean she would forgive such nonsense.

“You brought someone over arbitrarily because you needed them, then systematically abused them under the pretext of making them obedient – was that well done?”

“If you had known the grace of being taken in from the beginning and behaved well, it would have been fine. You didn’t know your own fault and harbored such resentment?”

Sara Kiris sighed.

Ordel couldn’t help but laugh.

“Whether in this world or that world, criminals’ logic is all exactly the same. How fascinating.”

“…What?”

“Resentment? No. You’re locked up in prison now because you don’t know what you did wrong. Don’t blame me, blame your lacking brain.”

Ordel reached out and tapped Sara’s head.

Sara’s face turned bright red as she immediately swatted at Ordel’s hand.

However.

Crack!

“Aaaaah!”

Far from swatting the hand away, Sara’s hand broke.

Ordel had deliberately strengthened her hand and arm with divine power to make them solid.

Sara’s powerless hand broke like a twig.

“Falling for such an obvious trick. Really stupid.”

Ordel shook her head at Sara, who was crying and clutching her hand.

Since Jin said she wouldn’t bother with them anymore, Ordel had no intention of interfering further either.

Besides, she had already gotten revenge on Joseph Kiris, who had committed the greatest wrong.

“I will live very well as the Holy Maiden of the Sun God. I’ll grasp all the wealth, honor, and power you so desperately wanted. My name, ‘Ordel,’ will spread beyond the Empire to the entire continent.”

Ordel’s name would remain in history forever.

‘Ordel,’ which was both Cha Siwon’s new name and simultaneously the name of her most precious friend.

“Kiris won’t be beside it. With your deaths, Kiris will completely disappear from this world.”

Ordel had already become someone completely unrelated to the Kiris Household with the help of the Emperor and Rute.

Thanks to Count Kiris keeping her existence completely hidden, few people know the truth, so she will remain ‘Ordel’ until the day she dies.

“Ah! Instead, all the wealth you had is now mine. You really scraped together quite a lot over the years. Thank you so much.”

Ordel smiled brightly as she looked at Sara clutching her broken hand and her children.

The Imperial Palace had really made sure to secure her share thoroughly.

“If you hadn’t abused me and had taken good care of me instead, you would have enjoyed all kinds of honors as the Holy Maiden’s family.”

Ordel clicked her tongue disapprovingly.

“You should have conducted yourselves properly. To hold a grudge over something so trivial. You really are lacking in brains.”

Ordel threw Sara’s own words right back at her, snorted loudly, and left the prison.

“You, youuuuu! Youuuu!”

Behind her, Lloyd gripped the bars and spewed curses, but Ordel didn’t even pretend to listen.

To her and Jin, those people were already dead.

“Why did it take you so long?”

When she completely emerged from the musty-smelling dungeon, she saw Jin standing ahead.

Her friend, silhouetted against the bright sunlight, was smiling radiantly without a trace of lingering attachment or pain.

Seeing that face that had cast everything off and taken a step forward, Ordel smiled back.

“Were you waiting?”

Ordel reached out her hand.

Jin naturally took that hand and pulled her forward as if it were obvious.

“Of course. I’m always waiting for you. Once you go to work, there’s no telling when you’ll come back.”

“That won’t happen anymore.”

Ordel shook her head at her friend’s pointed words.

“Yeah, that’s what I like most about this. There won’t be any dangerous situations anymore either.”

“Right. So in this lifetime, let’s both live until we become bent old grannies.”

“Sounds good.”

The two people, hands clasped tightly together, looked at each other and smiled brightly.

Their smiles, bathed in sunlight without a shadow of darkness, were dazzlingly beautiful.
