SWNOVELS Chapter 1725
Chapter 1725: Save me.
On a certain night, Leia found herself alone again outside the valley. She stood in the desolate darkness, staring at the
underground city that had becnothing but ruins. Suddenly, tears began to flow from her eyes.
A voice suddenly appeared behind her.
"Do you really not know who that child was who shot at you all those years ago?" The voice asked.
Leia's crying abruptly stopped and she froze in place.
The voice continued, "Or is it that you do know but just don't want to admit it...?"
"She killed those children. She destroyed your home. She... destroyed all of your hopes!"
Leia's face turned pale and slowly turned around to face Cassius standing behind her, looking out at the darkened city with a cold
yet gentle tone in his voice.
"Do you remember that winter? It was very cold with snow everywhere and our beautiful hwas quiet like a painting. A young
couple accompanied their ten-year-old daughter on her birthday."
Leia's lips trembled violently as he spoke.
"That night there was warmth from the fireplace, a beautiful birthday cake, gifts from friends and laughter shared with father and
mother..."
Leia visibly stiffened as something seemed to boil inside of her pitch-black eyes.
"But suddenly everything changed when disaster struck this beautiful mountain valley city."
"A military force arrived here; they surrounded this town and aimed their knives at every person inside."
"Blood was spilled on the snow, staining the entire city red..."
Leia's fingers spasmed and her gaze began to becconfused.
At one moment it is the bright and warm candlelight, at another moment it is the blood-red color that stains the eyes...
"The girl's father and mother risked their lives to send her away," the man's voice, although not particularly cold, sounded bone-
chilling to Leia. "They knelt on the ground, desperately begging the girl leading and commanding the army on the other side,
pleading with her to spare their daughter..."
Leia seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and the color drained from her face in an instant.
"They were met with an unrelenting slaughter," Cassius spoke with an unwavering tone, "right in front of their father and mother,
screams and cries filled the air as one child after another fell to the ground, their blood staining the snow, covering the ground..."
In Leia's chaotic eyes, there is a faint hint of blood and hostility emerging.
Ears filled with immature crying and pain sound, oncoming, overwhelming, killing bullets, and far away... The howling of the young
couple who were living to death.
"Many of them are still immature, with only a pair of innocent eyes wide open, forever trapped in that icy and snowy land..."
Leia clenched her fist.
Cassius lowered his eyes. "In the end, she kills the couple who are trying to protect the girl..."
Leia's pupils contracted violently.
Countless shadows carrying the scent of blood and fire flew past quickly before my eyes, each one covered in a layer of crimson.
Until it stopped on a young couple.
The young husband fell to the ground, protecting his wife underneath him.
In her arms, the woman tightly held her ten-year-old daughter. Her body was covered in blood, but she still smiled gently at the
girl, encouraging her to live on.
Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed through the night.
In that moment, Leia finally saw clearly the face of the little girl who had always been blurry in her memory. She had snow-white
and icy-cold eyes...
Leia's knees gave out as she knelt heavily towards the direction of the underground city. Her head hit hard against the ground.
Cassius looked at the little girl who had finally regained her memories with a hint of pity in his eyes. "You did nothing wrong but
becinnocent sacrifices..."
Selena worked tirelessly for a day and night before finally settling on a final blueprint for their organization. After Osvaldo dropped
her off to rest, he went to prepare food for her.
Selena took a shower and changed into pajamas before preparing to continue studying their blueprint when suddenly she heard
two heavy footsteps behind her.
Sensing something amiss, Selena turned around only to be met with a dark gun barrel pointed straight at her face.
As soon as Selena recognized who was holding it, she felt herself shrink back in fear. "Leia..."
Leia's face was pale and disoriented; however there was an overwhelming hatred present within those once pure and innocent
eyes as they stared directly into hers: "It's you... You killed everyone - my parents included - you killed them all..."
Selena heard the accusations that cat her like a barrage of arrows, and in an instant, she knew Leia's true identity.
Leia said she was an orphan, picked up by Joanna from who knows where, with no memories before the age of ten.
Shouldn't it have been obvious? If she was just a regular child, why not send her to a regular family to raise? Why keep her by their
side and train her to be an assassin...?
If she were just a normal child, why would she have lost all memories of her past?
All this only proved one thing: Leia was a survivor from the underground city. She was one of those children who had been ordered
to be killed by the military...
Selena's face turned pale as snow.
Leia looked at Selena with tears streaming down her face. "Do you wantto deny it?" If Selena denied it then Leia would believe
her.
Selena stared blankly at Leia with a face as pale as hers.
The silence that followed shattered any hope left in Leia's heart.
She suddenly broke down in tears and grabbed Selena by the neck. "They were all innocent! You never kill innocents! Why did you
attack them?!"
"Why did you have to kill my parents?!" Leia screamed, shaking Selena violently. "And why did you have to go after those kids?"
"Because if they were allowed to leave, the virus would spread and more people would die," Selena replied calmly. "And because if
we showed mercy to the first group of children, more would follow and more people would be sent out."
"In a disaster like this, there's no room for sentimentality or second chances," she continued. "But I know that doesn't make it any
easier for the victims."
Selena's face was as white as snow, unable to deny or defend herself.
Leia cried out in anguish. "Why did it have to be you? Why?"
"lI don't want to hate you," she sobbed. "But if I don't hate you, who should I hate?"
"I can't kill you because then there will be no one left who can save the people in the underground city," Leia said desperately. "I
don't know what to do anymore..."
"Miss Leia... I'm not smart enough... please help me..." Selena looked at her with eyes that used to be so innocent but now filled
with pain and hatred.
Leia stared back at her for a moment before nodding slowly. "Okay."
