Chapter 774 Lauren’s Crimes and Punishment
Vicente approached the king, while Lauren had her eyes turned to the strongest remaining subject among the local magicians. A bitter smile crept onto her face as she realized the situation revolved around her.”,
“Vicente, who is this woman next to you? Do you know the things she’s done?” King Seidel asked with an ugly look on his face, glancing at Lauren and clenching his fists.
Vicente already imagined that Lauren had done things in the south of the continent, in particular, that she had acted against the old Paragon of Trevora Kingdom, who lived in Grandis to protect the royal family.
He sighed as he closed his eyes, seeing the problem in front of him to deal with. “She’s my older sister, who I went to rescue in the north of the continent, Lauren Fuller… I know she has made serious mistakes in the past on behalf of her sect.”
“Sister?” The king’s eyes changed as he turned his expression to Vicente, surprised by this.
“You don’t have to speak in a low voice. I can hear you clearly, old monarch.” Lauren walked towards Vicente and the king, while having an annoyed expression on her face. “Tell me directly what you have to complain about. You remember me, don’t you? It’s me. I’m Miss Death, the one who attacked this city months ago.”
The king clenched his fists as he looked at Lauren, but having heard that she was Vicente’s sister, he couldn’t say anything.
Vicente noticed the king’s anger and gave Lauren an ugly look. “Control your language when talking to your elders, Lauren! Don’t think that I won’t punish you just because you’re my sister!”
Vicente’s tone of voice startled the black-haired girl, making her stop and feel her whole body shiver as the negative elements in her body vibrated with his voice.
“I know the things you’ve been doing in the south of the continent. And you’ll pay for what you’ve done when the time comes. Now be quiet and learn your place!” Vicente brought her to her knees with his magical pressure, making Lauren press her teeth together, but unable to muster the strength to speak against him.
Vicente pitied Lauren. She was his sister and had suffered because of Nixlas’ Shadows’ methods. But that didn’t mean he wouldn’t discipline her or make her pay for the mistakes she’d made in whatever way he decided.
He looked at Lina’s father and said. “Lauren still needs time to repent for what she has done and to be able to serve time for her crimes, Your Majesty. She will stay by my side for the time being, but sooner or later, she will repay the harm she has caused by serving our community.”
Seeing the serious look on Vicente’s face, Lina’s father sighed, closing his eyes and remembering his old friend.
He said. “I just wanted to warn you, in case you didn’t know the truth. But since you do, I trust your judgment to bring your sister over to the right side of the fight on the continent. I imagine she’s had her own tragedies, too.”
“Thank you for understanding.” Vicente gestured his thanks. “Anyway, I’m going to visit some local acquaintances while your group gets ready. When you’re ready, send someone to notify me.”
“Hmm, go ahead.” The king said as he stayed behind in his palace.
Vicente had already ordered the king’s group to gather materials for him to develop weapons and armor, as well as a group to position themselves around the Grandis security area that he would build over the next few days.
Vicente grabbed one of his sister’s wrists and led her out of the palace.
“Why did you do that? Am I not your dear sister? Why humiliate me like that?” She exclaimed as she walked beside him, not liking the way Vicente had just treated her after weeks of his understanding gestures.
“You’re very arrogant, Lauren. What’s worse, you seem proud of your mistakes. So that was for you to learn you’re no longer in Nixlas’ Shadows and now you’re part of the community of magicians fighting monsters.” He said harshly, seeing he needed to teach his sister some manners.
“You owe respect to your elders and those who have done a lot for the magical community in the past.”
“Tsk! We’re stronger than that old man. We don’t have to act humble and try to please people like him!” She said, using what she had learned in Nixlas’ Shadows.
“Humph! On what basis do you say that? What have you ever done for the magical community? Nothing! You’ve only hindered us! What difference does your great power make? Neither the vampires nor the magicians of the continent would miss you. Only Nina and I have good feelings for you, you fool!”
She clenched her fists, feeling like hitting her brother.
Vicente continued his corrective words. “You must learn your place in this society. You have nothing. Your power is useless. You have no influence—”
“If you weren’t restraining me, I doubt that—”
“Do you want to shout to the world how strong you are? That’s not power, Lauren. I have issued no threats to the king, and he’s willing to follow all my orders. That’s genuine respect, Lauren. If you want that, change your attitude. Take your place and start acting quietly.
When you’ve done enough to pay for your crimes and deserve some respect, you won’t need to use your powers to make everyone obey and respect you. Until then, respect your elders and those who have fought real wars.
There are Mages in this city who have better combat stories than a young girl who has been helped by Sovereigns of Nixlas’ Shadows her entire journey. How easy can it be to grow up with a battalion ready to help you?”
She formed an ugly expression on her beautiful face, listening to Vicente practically tell her she had achieved nothing on her own and was inferior even to the local Mages.
“It seems you have no respect for your older sister!” She used her only weapon.
“Act like it. I’m still waiting for a mature attitude from you. Maybe I’ll behave like your younger brother when you show yourself to be an older sister.”
He moved on after delivering this blow to Lauren’s morale, with her following him in silence, full of anger in her heart.
