Chapter 234
Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen
234 Azazel
Selma Payneâs POV:
I stared at him. âWhat the hell did you do?!â
The archpriest laughed complacently. With a wave of his hand, ice, snow, and rocks formed several carriages.
âIâve said it before. You must atone for my lordâs sins with eternal time.â He waved his hand again, and the confused wolves obediently put themselves on the carriage. It would be best if you were happy from the bottom of your hearts that you have become the pulling horses of the divine carriage.
I couldnât hold back the urge to curse out loud, but I didnât even have the strength to open my mouth.
The archpriest directed everyone to get on the carriage and drove the witches, who seemed to be sacrifices, to the most gorgeous carriage driven by a she-wolf. Locke kicked me when he passed by and asked, âWhat should we do with this girl?â
âTake her with you,â the priest said. âI can feel sheâs still a virgin in her blood, which makes her a good candidate for my lordâs one-night bride.â
âHer? No man would be able to take this tattered appearance.â
âShut up! Donât use your filthy words to insult the greatness of my lord! He led everything that had existed, and all reality had his instructions. We donât have the right to deal with it on behalf of my master. We need to bring her to my master for trial.â
Locke pouted and obediently threw me into a carriage.
There were only two people in this narrow stone carriage. One was me, and the other was Yuri.
Upon seeing me, Yuri laughed maliciously. âLook who this is-our great Captain Selma. What, a noble lady of noble blood, actually made herself look so embarrassed? Youâre not even worthy of carrying my masterâs shoes! You wonât be a bride overnight. You wonât even live past tonight.â
I wanted to jump up and bite this vicious villain to death, but the reality was that I could only lie on the cold stone and die. I could see blood oozing out of the wounds all over my body, but I couldnât feel any pain. I thought my spine had probably been shattered, which was the fundamental reason my brain lost contact with my body.
I wondered if the werewolvesâ powerful recovery ability could restore a flour-like spine.
At this critical moment, I could only think about how to find joy amid suffering.
âDonât look at me like that, miss.â Yuri kicked me. âYouâre looking at me like Iâm some unpardonable traitor. But you have to be clear that you were the ones who kicked me out first, deprived me of my status, honor, and credit, and stepped on me like a bug, not allowing me to rise. You treat me as a stain and wish I had never appeared. Since thatâs the case, why should I wag my tail and beg for pity from my enemy? The world is so big, there must be a place for me, for example, a human.â
âYou asked for it,â I snarled. âBecause youâre a bug scoundrel.â
Yuri kicked me in the chest. I heard a crack, probably a broken rib. But I couldnât feel any pain.
âAlright, you stubborn little girl.â Yuri suppressed his anger. âYou can try to show off again, but when we reach my masterâs palace, all you can do is scream in fear!â
âA palace?â I sneered. âYou guys call the seal a palace. This is a typical heretic way of self-consolation.â
âYouâve guessed it. Thatâs right, the place you have disrespectfully called the devilâs seal is my masterâs temporary palace. Continue to be stubborn, Selma. I canât wait to see you wet your pants before my lord.â
The long convoy was like a centipede walking on a wool blanket. Strange and eerie music came from its limbs, carrying heavy sins into the darkness in the distance.
Yuri hummed an unknown tune to the music, repeatedly singing praises to the so-called âLordâ.
I felt that I had recovered some of my strength. âWho is your Lord?â
âItâs too late to convert now. The turkey on the table is not qualified to believe in my lord,â Yuri said disdainfully.
âAt least let me be a ghost with an understanding.â
âAre you begging me?â he suddenly became interested. âItâs so strange. Even the high and mighty nobles know how to bow their heads in prayer?â
âYes,â I replied calmly. âIâm indeed begging you, Yuri. I know that Iâm not going to escape death tonight. At least let me know his name so I can tell the Moon Goddess about my life after I die.â
Yuri suddenly burst out laughing.
âWhat a naive girl! Iâm starting to pity you!â He grabbed my face roughly. âAre you still fantasizing about enjoying life after death? Stop dreaming! Whether you become a one-night bride or a little dessert, you will forever be my masterâs slave. Whether alive or dead, you will never be able to escape!â
âThis is the great, greedy, vicious god of original sin, Azazel. He will have it for a lifetime if he has it now!â
Looking at Yuriâs deranged face, I didnât have any reaction. I even felt like laughing.
How did this idiot pass the warrior assessment? Even a three-year-old child could easily get information out of him.
