Boom!
It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in Little Lisop's mind.
He sat there, stunned, completely at a loss.
And the old butler, still with the dagger embedded in his chest, looked at Lisop with eyes full of pleading.
"Pl... Please..."
"You have the nerve to ask me for anything?
Do you know why I chose to enlist in the army?
Do you know what sustained me through battle after battle, certain to die?
The family!
I wanted to build a family that future generations could be proud of!"
Lisop cut off the old butler's words, his voice involuntarily rising, and by the end, he pointed at the old butler and shouted.
"But because of you!
You worthless piece of trash!
You destroyed everything!
Just when I was striving to further the Lisop Family, you and that whore Jenny had the audacity to get together!
Hah, do you know?
Before I strangled her to death, she begged me to spare you and this bastard!"
