Raised in Dungeon-Chapter 29 29 : End Of Prolog

Wolverlope residence

To avoid disturbing the meeting between Earl Wolverlope and Baron Barkaley, Felicia and Rachel left the room.

Felicia was upset and a little disappointed that she hadn't been told about her fiancé, Waldo Barkaley, who had to conquer a dungeon far away. To ease her frustration, Felicia was about to wander around the town, buying food and clothes that she liked.

Just as they were about to open the door, a loud bang was heard next to the house, like a large, heavy thing falling. Felicia and Rachel went straight to the source of the sound.

Next to the Earl's manor house, there was a horse parking lot. There was a small house for the horse. At the far end, near the fence, was a large tree under which wooden chairs and tables were set up. That was where the guest drivers rested, waiting for their masters to come out.

Ten Barkaley family soldiers were standing around a large box with a black cloth on it in the field. It turned out that the horse carrying the black box went berserk and made the box fall. As a result, one of the soldiers was half crushed.

Felicia immediately approached them.

"You incompetent commoners! You can't even do your job," Felicia yelled.

When they saw Felicia, they immediately moved away and saluted her.

"This isn't the time to do that. Look, your friend could get hurt!" she said again.

"Yes, My Lady!"

Together, they lifted the heavy box. Because the box was crumpled, the black cloth covering the box slipped off.

It turned out that the box was not a box. It was a cage for animals and monsters.

Inside the cage was a human—a small child with long black hair wearing shabby clothes. He was just curled up and silent in there.

"Who... who is this?!" shouted Felicia.

Everyone, including the workers, was shocked. The soldiers immediately rushed to cover it again with the black cloth.

"Sorry, My Lady, we must keep this a secret until today's meeting ends. This is an order from Prince Leofric.

"That guy again…'

"Hmph! I'll turn a blind eye to that, but..."

Felicia approached the crushed soldier. There were abrasions on his hands, and it seemed like the crush had hurt so much that he could hardly move.

"Everyone get out of my way," said Felicia, walking toward that soldier.

In the back, Rachel rushed forward, about to stop Felicia.

"Lady, let's leave it to the medic."

"No, this person is in pain right now. Rachel, give it to me."

"Yes, My Lady,"

Rachel handed a small knife to her, like a scalpel, with the family crest of Earl Boldenville engraved on the handle.

Felicia cut her index finger with it.

She dripped her blood on the ground. After that, various beautiful flowers emerged from the ground where she had shed blood. Felicia then dripped her blood around the soldier, and the flowers grew around him.

"Now you are inside my flower garden."

The flowers glowed. And finally, Felicia dripped her essence into the center, above the soldier. Light poured out from where Felicia dripped her blood like waves, covering everything inside Felicia's flower garden.

"Wh-what's going on?" asked one of the soldiers who saw it.

He was confused by the phenomenon in front of him because he didn't see Felicia drawing orders for the spirits. Instead, she was dripping blood, and suddenly flowers appeared out of the ground. That means this wasn't amnis, but...

"This is Lady Felicia's God's blessing," said Rachel. Then Rachel, with a worried face, thought

'Lady's God's blessing is that she can grow plants from the ground by dripping her blood. When she was ten years old, she once fell off a horse-drawn carriage, but strangely, when the lady's blood dripped onto the ground, various plants grew. Lately, she learned to use her God's blessings with her teacher in Earl Wolverlope. It turns out that every drop of her blood is filled with mana that can create a flower garden, and everything inside the flower garden would be healed. That was explained by Thurstan Brewster, Felicia's teacher and one of Earl Wolverlope's knights. But the problem is...'

in just a few seconds, maybe 20 seconds. The flowers withered and died. Felicia was panting; her body was sweaty, and she looked tired.

The soldier who was injured earlier was now able to get up and stand freely.

"WOAH!!! I don't feel any pain at all. It's like my whole body is reborn."

"So this is Lady Felicia's God's Blessing, but why does my lady look very tired?"

Rachel was holding Felicia's body.She took out a glove and wiped Felicia's injured finger, then thought

'The problem is that she expended far too much mana just to heal, which can be done by ordinary doctors or fire-type healing amnis. And she can only use this God's blessing once a day. The flower and light she created consume much of her mana and make her faint.'

The warrior looked at Felicia with pity. People already knew about the rumor that Earl Boldenville's daughter's blessing was useless, but they didn't really know what it meant until now.

Breathing heavily, Felicia said

"What...what are you guys doing?! I've gone to all this trouble. How come I didn't hear a single thank?"

All the soldiers immediately put their hands on their chests and bowed.

"Thank you, My Lady! May God bless the Boldenville family!" they shouted in unison.

The healed soldier approached Felicia, knelt, grabbed her ankles, and kissed it. It was the highest form of respect from a soldier to a noble.

"Thank you very much, My Lady. Your ability is truly God's best gift to the best person."

Felicia smiled, as did Rachel.

"Hmph! This kind of thing is just a small thing to me; praise me more!" said Felicia, smiling proudly with heavy breath.

Seeing Felicia's boastful reaction, the soldier and Rachel looked at each other and laughed.

"Oh, so that kid is locked up in there."

From behind came a woman's voice, familiar to Felicia, the fat woman holding the cigar, the Earl of Wolverlope, Isabelle Browet Wolverlope.

"Aunt Isabelle?!" Felicia forced herself to stand up straight and then lifted her dress.

After that, the soldiers also joined in greeting the Earl.

Isabelle walked over. Behind her were her personal knight and five other soldiers. Beside the Earl was the Barony that also with his personal knight.

After approaching, the Earl raised his right hand, indicating that he had received his respect and no longer needed to bow his head.

"Remove the cloth." The earl said.

"But my lady, Prince Leofric asked us to keep the whereabouts of this child a secret," Barony said frantically.

"This child has been handed over to me. Now his rights are with me. Lil Leofric's orders are useless now. Besides, the people here seem to have seen him.

Theo, open it for me."

"Yes, My Lady."

Theobauld Cosyngton, one of Earl Isabelle's two personal knights. His body was muscular, and he wore a warrior's leather winter armor. His short spiked hair was dark red, while his eyes were dark blue. There was a scar that scratched his face near his chin.

He approached the cloth-covered cage and pulled back the cloth. Everyone could now see the kid inside it, Allen.

He was still there, hugging his knees and bowing his face.

"Where is the key?" Isabelle pointed her hand at Barony. Barony immediately rushed to hand over the key.

"My Lady, Be careful, the boy may be calm now, but he is a monster who has killed many people," said Barony, who saw Isabelle walking towards the cage.

Isabelle did not care.

"Do not doubt any of Lady Isabelle's actions," said Theobauld to Barony. Theobauld follows Isabelle behind her.

Isabelle opened the cage and called out to the boy,

"Hey, boy."

Allen was silent.

"How long are you going to keep silent?"

Allen remained silent, not answering.

"Fyuuuh..." Isabelle exhaled cigar smoke and handed the cigar she was holding to one of the soldiers behind her.

Isabelle then pulled the scarf that Allen was wearing, forcefully.

"Rancid boy! Listen to me-"

-GRAB

"Ugh!"

Allen grasped Isabelle's hand very firmly, then said

"Don't take Reig from me!" Allen lifted his face, looking at Isabelle with glowing red eyes, and was furious.

-SWING

From outside, a sword blade was somehow inside the cage, almost cutting off Allen's hand that was grasping Isabelle's wrist.

"Keep your filthy hands off of Lady Isabelle," Theobauld said with an angry face as well.

"How…how did the sword get in?!" One of the soldiers was surprised that Theobauld's sword didn't enter horizontally in the slashes of the bars; instead, he slashed through them diagonally. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

-CRACK

Everyone could hear the sound of metal cracking. Theobauld had just sliced through the iron bars of Allen's confinement with ease, so the metal shifting was heard a few seconds later.

Allen felt pain in his hand and was now forced to let go of his hand. Allen's grip also injured Lady Isabelle's wrist.

"My Lady, are you alright?"

"Of course not. What if this leaves a mark?

Felicia, show me your skills. Heal this child and me at once."

Hearing that, Rachel immediately protested.

"Lady Isabelle! With all due respect, I beg you to refrain and ask the healer to heal your wounds! Lady Felicia has just-" Felicia tugged at Rachel's shirt, asking her to stop,

"It's okay. I can heal a wound like that easily.

Theobauld pulled Allen's hand from outside, placing it next to Isabelle.

Felicia split his wrist slightly; blood came out of it, and she surrounded Allen and Isabelle.

"Is it okay if you cut it there? Aren't you going to die?" Isabelle asked.

"It's okay, auntie. Because to me, my blood is my mana. When I arrived at this residence, I could control how much of my blood could come out."

"Impressive."

As before, plants surrounded Allen and Isabelle, and they glowed. Isabelle's arm and Allen's hand slowly healed.

After that, Felicia fell, her breathing became even heavier, and her sweat flooded her body.

"Lady Felicia!" shouted Rachel, who immediately hugged Felicia's fallen body.

"I can, Rachel. Finally, I can use my God's blessing twice a day," said Felicia, panting.

"Lady Isabelle, I request permission to take Lady Felicia to her room."

"Permission granted. Don't forget to call Thurstan in his room to stabilize this child's mana. You were permitted to use my name."

"Thank you for your generosity."

Then, after Rachel bowed her head and carried Felicia away, Isabelle said:

"Wait a moment,

Hmm? This child has a lot of scars on her body. Why aren't these healed?" Isabelle asked.

Since Felicia's condition was not good, Rachel answered,

"Maybe it's because it's a long-standing wound. Lady can only heal recent wounds," Rachel replied.

"I see. You may leave."

Rachel bowed her head once more and left.

After Rachel and Felicia left, Theobauld now grasped Allen's hair and pulled it until Allen's face was fully exposed.

"Listen, kid, if you still do things that make Lady Isabelle hurt, I will not hesitate to cut off your head,"

"That's enough, Theo, let go."

"Yes, My Lady."

Now Isabelle held Allen's face and lifted it up, looking at it carefully.

"Hmm... you have quite a handsome face; I like it. I will make you one of my slaves,"

Allen turned his face away.

"Now we will do an equal exchange. Is there anything you want?"

Allen was again silent.

"Hmm... I've heard everything about you.

About you being raised by Queen Orc,

about you killing many people, and also...

About Leofric, who killed the Orc who raised you,"

Hearing Isabelle say that, Allen gets angry and is about to attack Isabelle once again. But this time Theobauld directly hit his face with his knee. Then Theobauld repeatedly kicked Allen's ribs until Allen was in pain and could not move.

"I told you not to touch Lady Isabelle."

Isabelle was now squatting down, talking to Allen.

"Leofric is powerful, isn't he? Even you couldn't do anything to save your mother."

Now Allen had no more energy to get angry at Isabelle.

Isabelle smiled, and in a small voice, she whispered in front of Allen's face. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

"I will help you kill Leofric, so from now on, you must be my slave and obey everything I say."

"!!!"

"Lady! What are you?" The only one who heard that besides Allen was Theobauld. He now doubted Isabelle's actions, even though he had said before not to question anything she did to Barony.

Her words earlier were tantamount to showing her intention to betray the royal family. And that was a grave sin that violated the laws of the kingdom and the laws of the four great churches.

Allen was also surprised to hear Isabelle's words. He bowed his head and said,

"If I become your slave, can I kill him?" said Allen. Isabelle smiled and replied,

"That's right."

Water came out of Allen's eyes again.

"If I were your slave, would I be able to split that b*stard's head?"

"That's right."

"Would I be able to cut off his entire body?"

"That's right."

"If I become your slave... I can avenge my mother's death, right?"

"Exactly,"

Allen was silent...

Then, after a while, Allen immediately lifted his head. His face was now more radiant than before. He opened his eyes wide, seeing Isabelle's face facing her clearly.

"IF I CAN KILL THAT PERSON, I WILL GIVE IT ALL! MY BODY! MY SOUL! TAKE EVERYTHING!"

Isabelle smiled and laughed,

"WUHOHOHOHOHO! Then the contract is made!"

Isabelle stood up, then a knife-shaped light came from the palm of her right hand.

Isabelle grasped the light and stabbed Allen's heart.

"This is my God's blessing. I named it 'everything is mine' when both sides approve the contract and this light sword pierces your heart. My mana will fuse with your blood. And you will be my slave forever!"

"No problem. I will do anything if I can avenge my mother with this."

At that time, Allen finds the purpose of his life.

It was life for revenge.
