Chapter 211: Her Judgement 2

Hye Yang’s head shot the the side then to her front as she searched for what other surprises could possibly be in stall for her.

She craned her head in every directed and even looked at the sky like a crazed person who had already lost every bit of sanity. Hye Yang’s once neatly done hair was scattered and undone and some glued to her skin because of the sweat. Her once nicely clothed skin was in so much pain with one hand fully dislocated.

Her once pretty face was stained with blood and swollen and her chest was hurting too. She had been utterly beaten and abused yet these people did not look like they were done with her. This made her heart beat rapidly in her chest.

She did not want to suffer more. Hye Yang hated to admit it, but just like Mira said. . . her life would never have turned out this way if she was content. Or better yet. . . If she gave up when she saw it stopped working out for her.

The men she chased never saw her in the romantic way that she wanted. Even after Mira had done so many bad things to them, they were by her side like love sick puppies. Yet here she was, in the same level of evil being punished for her own deeds.

It was laughable. All Hye Yang’s life, she thought she needed to be someone with power to be noticed and loved but maybe. . . . just maybe, that was all in her head and she had always been loved. Hye Yang swallowed. She could hear the slowed, heavy breathing as air left and entered her lungs. With every inhale and exhale came a faint noise and she knew she was close to dying.

If she had given herself time to live and not wish to have what her sister had, could her life truly have been different? If she never made that deal to sell fox cubs and beast people in general, would there have been a significant change in the direction of her life and would she not have ended up here in a wretched state?

If she had not schemed so badly, would she have found a husband to be mated to on that day? Could it be that the universe was punishing her for her evil deeds on her coming of age? And even if that was the case, there were so many suitable beast men that Hye Yang could have had. If she had just chosen some of them. . . . would she genuinely have been happy?

She probably would have been with children. Possibly pregnant now with another while her husbands were by her side attending to her and giving her endless love like Mira’s husbands were doing to her now.

Hye Yang’s throat began to feel sore at the thoughts that played in her head. She would then have been the sister to the one who was married to all the beast rulers and knowing how much her sister trusted and loved her, she would have had everything she wanted. But the greed was she wanted to be the one mated to them not the one receiving gifts that came from being mated to them.

Now Hye Yang wondered if she was the one who had been blind the entire time. She always laughed at how Mira Yang had chased Mu Yang without knowing that she had been poisoning Mu Yang’s mind against Mira but here she was, the lady who spent most of her years chasing five beast men who never even considered her suitable to wed and she even attempted to kill her elder sister to achieve it.

Tears blurred Hye Yang’s vision. Her line of sight became red and she knew that this was as a result of the blood mixing with her tears. Hye Yang sniffed as she waited for whoever was to come next to arrive. Even though these thoughts played in her head, she knew it was way too late to even considered any of these and there was no point in backing away now.

Hye Yang accepted this version of her as the real her. She had always been evil. She had always been the bad child who hid behind her elder sister the entire time and she had always hated the fact that she never got what she wanted even though she could have wanted something else. And she hated her sister with every fibre in her body. That was who she was and she would be that person to the very end and Hye Yang could tell that her end was near. Too near.

She wondered what tales would fly around at her death. She wondered if she would get the chance to see her mother and birth father and other siblings again before being subjected to death by whatever way these rulers and Mira Yang deemed worthy for her.

This made her cheeks soak with more tears and as the liquid from her eyes trickled down her face, it pricked. Her cheeks burned and because of the her tears, she knew that Mira had slapped her till some of her skin peeled.

This was the second time in all of Hye Yang’s life that she remembered Mira hitting her. The first time was in the steam cave when she came to Ming Tao at the place of bath. And the second time was here. It was strange, she had made that woman’s life a constant living hell yet it was only recently that her sister had hit her so badly and at all.

I guess even good, gullible and naive people reach their limits too, Hye Yang thought to herself. The sound of drums made her body flinch and the crowd parted to give way for people who walked between their midst.

Hye Yang felt her eyes bulge out of her sockets as the people made their way forward and into her line of sight.

Her lower lip dropped open and she began to shake. "The. . . The warriors of the Ruling Oracle." Trembled out of Hye Yang’s mouth. She thought they had long gone. She had no idea the Ruling Oracle still remained in the cheetah clan and if they did and had their warriors make their way forward on such short command, it meant that the Ruling Oracle were watching every single thing that had been revealed to the beast people today and if they did, it meant that this case was no longer something that happened within the beast tribe that Hye Yang could get her way out of or beg her way out of, it meant that this matter was way more serious than she had thought.

"My. . ." Hye Yang began, her body still trembling. "My lords." She continued. She tried to bow but the cheetah warriors who held her on both sides tightened their hold on her arms to keep her from moving. Hye Yang winced. The bones of her arm were still broken so every single hold on her body felt like heated metal resting on her skin.

"Second daughter of the tribal chiefs of the fox tribe, Hye Yang, you have committed grave acts of dishonesty and hatred towards the beast people as well as acts of impersonation and conniving with rogues, beasts banished out of the beast tribes for very disturbing reasons to carry out grave atrocities." One of the warriors began, he was listing out all of Hye Yang’s crimes one by one in a stern tone that belonged to a warrior assigned directly to the king and was relating the king’s words.

Mira raised her brow when she heard the main head of the warriors of the Ruling Oracle speak. What was on her mind was entirely out of this topic but she wondered how these beast people knew and understood the word ’atrocity’ but had no idea what a job was or what the word ’pervert’ and ’fuck’ was. It was almost as if they filtered certain words to understand and certain words to not understand.

[ Well, if you had so many braincells that was not constantly thinking about ways to fuck or spread your legs for your husbands, you would know that there is something like olden days English and refined modern day English and how as eras changed, certain words evolved along with it too.

But alas, you do not know] System chimed.

This made Mira’s face flatten, of all the times that system chose to humble her, it was now when her sister was about to be punished.

I do not think atrocity to be an olden days word, system, Mira said to system in her mind. She knew that the Ruling Oracle head of warriors was still talking but her mind was completely away from it now and fully on system. Mira did not know if it was part of her pregnancy, but sometimes, concentrating on one thing that happened to cause her so much stress was hectic.

Like, she just wanted to exist even though it meant talking to a screen in the middle of a beast world court case to determine the fate of the one who had ruined her life and tried to kill her.

I am just a baby, Mira said to herself, and do not dare say what I think you want to say now, system!
