Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 486 - 486 487 Arson in the Deep Sea

?Chapter 486: Chapter 487: Arson in the Deep Sea Chapter 486: Chapter 487: Arson in the Deep Sea Lei Nora’s tone was indifferent and calm, as if many years ago she had already planned all the end scenarios for her destiny—whether being forever trapped in a nightmare or suffering eternal exile were just inevitable parts of her planned future.

Just as Duncan had thought, the Frost Queen had never prepared for her own “resurrection”—returning to the human world was never a part of her plan.

Yet, this sacrificial attitude made Duncan feel strange.

“Are you truly willing to give everything for Frost, even sacrifices greater than life itself?” He turned his head, curiously looking into Lei Nora’s eyes. “You lived in a dungeon beneath the church for over a decade, regarded as human only after you turned twelve. You were surveilled, shackled, and tested; every thought and every murmured dream treated as a potential betrayal of humanity. You did everything you could, and in the end, you were still branded as the ‘Mad Queen’ and sent to the guillotine… I don’t want to judge anyone from a grim perspective, but at least logically, I’m surprised by your decision.”

Lei Nora fell silent, leaning on her bed, looking up at the canopy above, her thoughts seemingly drifting far away. After what seemed like a long time, she suddenly smiled and shook her head, “Right… why would I do that…”

She turned her head, quietly gazing into Duncan’s eyes.

“Do you know, they could have actually burned me alive—long, long ago, the day I first woke from a nightmare, before I learned to say ‘daddy’ and ‘mommy,’ before I realized I was human… Captain, perhaps my statement has led you to a misunderstanding, you think that I should resent that cold city, but in fact… it was that city which strived with all its might to keep me alive.

“And from a broader perspective, it is our delicate yet fragile ‘civilized world’ that is striving with all its might to keep everyone alive—including natural Spiritual Energy bearers like me, even if they have to use chains, iron cages, and confine me in a dungeon for ten years; they never expected me to die in that cold place… they hoped I could return as a human.

“I have never harbored resentment towards anyone, Captain, they did not treat me cruelly—because this world is cruel to everyone, and everyone is just doing their best.”
