Mysterious Traveler

Meanwhile, in the center of the country, blugeyle...

Kobhor citizens have evacuated to Blugeyle as a last resort. They are staying in a church, while some nobles are staying in the inn of the country. The Kobhor citizens that evacuated to Blugeyle consist of only women and children, approximately 2-3 thousand people. Henry is at the side of the church with other people, praying for his parents to come back until he falls asleep on the floor of the church, crying.

Suddenly, a soldier shouts so loud that everyone immediately wakes up. "It's a monster! A monster has appeared! Request for backup, it's a winged demon! I repeat, a winged demon!"

When Henry hears the term "winged demon," he rushes out of the church, happy, thinking that it's his parents finally back.

"Mom?! Dad?! They are back! I knew they would not go back on their promise! I miss them so much!"

But Henry is stopped by the guards. Idel's eyes are filled with nothingness. She's walking without any care for the world and seems like a zombie, but when she hears Henry's voice, her face lights up with joy, and tears start to flow out of her eyes. She hurriedly flies to Henry. She kicks the guard away so hard that the guard's ribs shatter, and he crashes into a building, vomiting blood. She hugs Henry tight.

"Henry, finally I found you. I'm sorry, baby, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't protect him, I'm sorry," Idel bawls her eyes out while apologizing to Henry.

"Why are you apologizing, Mom? It's okay. Even if we can't protect our home, Dad can fix it."

After hearing what Henry said, Idel cries much louder. "I'm sorry, baby, I couldn't, I couldn-" Before Idel can finish her words, she vomits blood. Henry stands frozen, eyes wide with horror, unable to comprehend the gruesome scene unfolding before him. The guards have stabbed Idel's upper body with spears and swords. Even after Idel falls, her hands are still holding Henry tight. The guards don't stop their hideous act; they shoot their guns at Idel, some even scratching Henry.

His knees buckle, and he collapses to the ground, consumed by an overwhelming wave of despair and helplessness. Henry unleashes a scream of pure agony as he watches his parent fall and the guards walk closer to the lifeless body of Idel and her child, who is now in a state of terror and pure shock, not moving even a single muscle. They take Idel's body and rip off her wings in front of Henry and everyone, but somehow Idel is still alive.

"Tsk, these demons sure are hard to kill. Even after all of that, she still has the energy to move? Go back to hell now!"

The guard puts his sword on Idel's neck, planning on beheading her. Before Idel loses her life, she says something under her breath.

"Happy birthday, Henry," Idel smiles. The guard beheads her in front of everyone, raising Idel's head like a trophy, then throws it out and even kicks it.

After the guards brutally murder Idel and traumatize Henry for life, they put Henry in custody and call him the demon child. They interrogate him and torture him to speak and tell everything he knows. They chain him, feed him animal food, and take more horrific actions. After a month, the king orders Henry's execution by guillotine.

In the middle of the city, echoes of the voices of the people of Blugeyle...

Angry Citizen 1: "Go kill him already! What are you waiting for?!"

Outraged Citizen 1: "Yes, kill the demon child! He doesn't belong here!"

Desperate Citizen 1: "No! Free the child! Don't do it! He's innocent!"

Fearful Citizen 1: "Someone stop this madness! Have mercy!"

Confused Citizen 1: "What's happening? Why are we doing this?"
