Chapter 272. Zack Does Not Forgive

EUSSIM

[The story continues]

The king had the strangest eyes in the world to me. As I tried to pretend to sleep, I would watch him when they didn’t notice. He had cheerful eyes, he seemed like the most likeable guy, the spark was actually murderous and he could not have lived in such a blunt ignorance.

They didn’t even care to speak loudly in front of me, because they said I would be dead soon. I didn’t know what they planned to do with me, but seeing that massacre I could guess it was nothing good. Before, I saw infinite possibilities and fear made me lose the ability to breathe fluently, and now, it was as if my thoughts had been left in a total darkness. I couldn’t even make a sound, because they would notice and might hit me or worse. Now all I had left was to pretend to be asleep so as not to disturb their long, meaningless conversations.

I didn’t understand anything they were saying. They talked about someone named “Tachje” with a fervor that scared me.
