Bab 10: Day of Resurrection
"I... I don't understand, Evan...? I've heard everything from dad. Why did things turn out like this while I was gone?" Princess Ariella asked without even looking at Evan.
"Please look at the reason and look at the facts again...! I beg of you..! Please... Please believe me...! Princess Ariella...!"
"Don't call me by my name! Really, when I heard Aurellia cry all night because of the trauma you did, it made me feel disgusted by you!"
She was the woman he loved the most, spat such words from the bottom of his heart.
"Uh-huuh." Princess Ariella's tears broke after expressing her heart out loud.
Harvey felt genuine compassion for Princess Ariella as tears rolled down her face. Only when Harvey embraced her, Evan was shown the cruel and ugly face of the evil victory, which he only glimpsed.
"If you insist on pretending your innocence, so be it! I'll tell you about your crime in detail!"
All of the accusations Harvey said were exactly the same as the information he got from Mr. Warden.
"Even though you have received favor from Princess Ariella, and this is your reward for her? People like you should not get love from her!"
Harvey embraced Princess Ariella with passion. Harvey looked down on him with a feeling of superiority. All the grudges that Harvey was holding were finally poured out into this scene.
Evan had no clue how all of the things he had built so well in Capital City had come to this. Not only was Princess Ariella snatched from him, somehow making all of his trusted allies against him.
"After I found out that you used the power of the Divine Weapon on me to gain power, I really couldn't stand looking at you! Every time I think of the love I think we have shared, it makes me feel sick!"
Those words really broke Evan's heart. All the efforts he put into supporting Princess Ariella. Hoping that one day he could stand by her side and serve her when he became a true knight commander ... Tears finally started to trickle down from the golden eyes that lost their luster.
"N-no ... There must be some kind of mistake!"
"Shut up! Don't try to influence Princess Arielle with your poisonous words! Chief Torturer! Make him draw out his Divine Weapon before his execution tomorrow!"
The voice of his protest was swallowed up by the taunts and jeers of the people he considered as friends and allies who were behind Princess Arielle. Harvey immediately came out with Princess Arielle, who was in his arms.

"He he he, now about corruption and budget embezzlement ... Let's start looking at some of your honesty!"
Tsssh!
"Ahhhhhhhh!!"
The torturer's head swung with all his might, and the whip left burns on the skin.
Evan screamed in pain. No matter what he had suffered before, he had never felt anything like this.
"Oh! After 3 days of torture, it turns out you can still scream out loud. Do you now admit your actions and want to show your Divine Weapons?"
He smiled sadistically and swung the whip over his arm repeatedly.
Flogging was the lightest punishment he felt compared to the previous punishment, which resulted in a brain failure, his nails pulled out, and several broken bones.
Evan didn't remember that he had been tortured for 3 days for each charge, but the pain didn't go away. Each lash was excruciatingly painful when it hit the wound.
When Princess Arielle realized the truth, they were able to return to their previous state. Using that as a foundation, he desperately tried to endure the torture, saving memories of the happy times with Princess Arielle. He also promised to return to his mother and sister, which made him even more potent.
However, the fleeting hope that the sixteen-year-old man held was immediately violently betrayed.
After a month, the dashed hope that Princess Arielle would come to her senses, and ended his imprisonment. That despair had given way to a burning hatred that was more passionate than any love he had ever felt for her.
"Gah ... ah ... haaaa .... !!!"
A soundless cry creaked from his ruined throat. Evan's gentle eyes that were once filled with a zeal for charity have been replaced with eyes burning with hatred and murderous intent.
'Mother, Liliana, and Ellie, I'm sorry, it looks like I won't be able to come home anytime soon. Some of my bones feel broken, and my nails have been pulled out. Of course, I don't want you to see my sad state. '
They were Evan's strength to stay strong with the torture. Because he realized, only to them, he divided the bonds.
"King Vesh, Harvey, Aurellia, Ariella ... They have made my life hell just because of their selfish desire to take my Divine Weapons."
Did they make up this conspiracy because he thought making him a Temporary Knight Commander was their first step to seize his Divine Weapon? Well, that didn't matter.
Even if Harvey was working to deceive him, the fact that Princess Ariella was willing to believe false accusations without evidence was obvious. She thought in that false accusation more than the honest words of a man who deep down loved her dearly... It made him feel the most despicable of the lot.
'I will take revenge ...!'
No matter how much energy he had, his dream of revenge wouldn't come true if Evan was to die. Because the execution time would soon arrive.
"If indeed these eyes are the same as yours, Legendary Demon Lord. Show me your strength!"
Evan shouted with all his might. He was even willing to sell his soul to a god or a demon so that they would listen to his pleas.
Maybe some god or demon was listening to Evan and accepting his soul offering because he started to hear strange sounds inside his head.

'Wh-what is this sound ...!?'

The sound continued to hum when he was taken by the warden and met with the king in a room that only had King Vesh and himself.
"You really are stubborn! Even though I have used my two beautiful daughters to ask you to show your Divine Weapons, you are still lying. Even if you show them it will be easy for me to extract them from your soul."
"Heh! So, all the good I feel is your heinous plan! I will not forgive you!"
"Yes, unfortunately, I can't wait any longer. I have to get the power of the 4th Divine Weapon. I'm sorry, Evan. You have to die here."
King Vesh revealed the 2nd Divine Weapon, a stinger-type weapon worn on him's middle finger.
"Even if you apologize, of course, I will not reduce the hatred by a cent to still take my revenge on you, Vesh Oslesan!"

Evan immediately felt his vision blur as a notification flashed across his line of sight before King Vesh stabbed into his chest.
*Shhtaab*
Just then, he saw a miracle, a bright flash of light that suddenly appeared and surrounded Evan, and in the next second...
Zing!
Evan disappeared into the air into particles of light.
In his mind, he didn't know whether King Vesh had managed to take his Divine Weapon or not. But, before he thought any further, he fell asleep.
___
[Welcome Host]
[You have unlocked the Monster System!]
The notification sound woke him from a long sleep. This time, his body really felt light, like all the torment and wounds on his body had been removed in one night.
Even now, he could feel the itch on his back, and of course, by scratching it, he could solve it.
'Eh! I can't scratch it! ' Evan found it awkward when his hand couldn't reach the itchy part and immediately opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he could not recognize where he was. The room was dim and looked luxurious, like a royal throne room. He was sure that he wasn't in the Oslesan Kingdom anymore.
What convinced him of his opinion was a large magic circle on the floor which had an intricate pattern and was surrounded by several extinguished candles. It looked like someone had just completed a mysterious ritual.
Before finding out more, he still has unresolved problems with his back.
'What happened to me!!' When Evan looked at his hands, he was shocked that his human hands had turned into a pair of tiny dark purple paws. He has turned into a Baby Dragon.
