…
Felita never met her father.
Felita had only seen her mother once since birth.
She remembered her mother being tied to a post, smiling at herself. Many people she did not know stood by the pillars, holding torches in their hands. The night was like a bonfire, singing, dancing, and then lighting the firewood around the pillars. The flames ignited, and the mother didn't shout, but just looked at herself with a smile, tears streaming all over her face.
Fillita took a man's hand and asked what was wrong with her mother, and the man smiled.
"Ah, she has become 'unclean'. But it doesn't matter, the fire will purify her soul, and the gods will forgive her sins."
Felita half understood.
When she grew up, she heard that her mother was willing to play a play with those boring adults in order to keep herself alive. She made a gesture of repentance, died at the stake, loudly proclaimed the sins of the demons, and yelled at her "shameless" self who combined with the demons and gave birth to an heir. She used this to warn the girls in the city that they would commit suicide if they were caught by the demons, and told them that chastity was more important than life, in exchange for her only daughter to survive.
Felita was adopted by a lonely old man in the city and lived as his granddaughter.
It's just that little Felita soon discovered that she was a little different from others.
Her hair is white and grows fast, always reaching her waist. The skin is very fair, and the eyes are bright orange-yellow, which is completely different from the friends around.
This difference has never been understood.
The children hit her on the head with stones, and Felita shielded her head with her hands clumsily, but she was still beaten to the point of bleeding.
They called her, Monster.
Felita didn't know what a monster was, but she knew those people hated her, or they wouldn't have poured liquid from the toilet bowl on her, or put lots and lots of dead bugs, centipedes, and The poisonous snake would not stick all kinds of insulting notes on her back, and laughed around her.
Felita was aggrieved.
She whispered to her grandfather, who always sighed helplessly and said to her on crutches:
"Fillita, you have to do better, to make them speechless..."
Felita nodded.
She learned the dusty magic books in the library by herself, and strangely enough, she seemed to understand those ghostly symbols. At that time, Felita didn't understand that this is the so-called "magic genius". She just happily told the teacher that she could understand and use magic.
So that night, Felita was beaten all over by the children around her and their parents.
Some people picked up sticks, some took off their shoes, some were bare-handed, but no one kept their hands, and no one repented.
"My children don't know magic, so why would you?"
"Tell me! Where did you learn it, you bad boy who eats alone!"
"Don't think that you are superior to others if you know magic, you bastard will always be a bastard! Just like your cousin mother, you are all low-level sluts!"
"Hit her! Hit her! Ask her where she learned it!"
"Father, come on! Huh, don't you know magic, you can use it, but you can resist it!"
The disheveled Felita was covered in injuries.
Someone spat a mouthful of sticky phlegm on her face.
"Damn bad luck, the dog you raised actually dared to show off its master. It really gave her face."
"That's right. Sister, if you want me to say that your children should know magic, when you come back and find out the source of magic from this little bastard, we all need to make a good calculation, so that we will be prosperous in the future..."
"That's what it should be."
Everyone laughed and the crowd dispersed.
Felita limped back home, and grandpa could only rely on crutches. The cowardly character of him hesitated for a long time before cursing in a low voice:
"This group of people is too much..."
After scolding, quickly and quietly opened the door and looked out to make sure that no one heard it before rest assured.
Felita bit her lip and said nothing.
The old man gently applied medicine to her while sighing.
You have to get stronger. To protect yourself, protect grandpa.
Felita, who thought so, learned magic while enduring torture. Finally, when she raised her hand and blew up a mound, no one dared to touch her anymore. Some of those who hit her took the initiative to come to apologize—
Felita is very happy.
Just when Felita thought she was used to this kind of life, she had already grown more and more graceful. She is somewhat similar to her own mother, but she may be of mixed blood, which makes her even more beautiful. When she was twelve years old, Pierce, the aristocratic leader of Yuxi City, came to the door and said that he was willing to take her as a concubine—of course, in order to protect the reputation of Lord Pierce, this matter cannot be said explicitly. Felita is still the magician who sits in the city during the day, but at night, she will become Pierce's prison.
Felita refused without hesitation.
A few days later, Felita finished killing the demons on the front line, and returned home exhausted, only to see her dying grandfather.
Exactly the same as myself back then.
He was splashed with an unknown amount of feces, his bony body was dripping with blood, one eye was permanently blind, and the other eye was also gray. When he saw Felita come back, he stretched out his hand, tremblingly said:
"Fillita... Grandpa... didn't promise them... Grandpa used to... I'm sorry. I couldn't... protect you. Don't hate humans... They just don't understand. They're just afraid of you... You have to protect this city, there will always be One day, they'll take you in, one day..."
The old man took his last breath.
Felita's cries traveled far that day.
Neighbors in the neighborhood could hear the heart-piercing cries.
That night, the house of the man Pierce had hired to do it burned to the ground.
Afterwards, someone asked Pierce, are you not afraid, are you not afraid of her revenge.
Pierce laughed and said what to be afraid of! She looks arrogant and indifferent, but she is a dog in her heart, a homeless dog who can only wag her tail and beg for mercy! She has no guts, she doesn't even have the courage to kill, because she is born the most despicable woman, and this inferiority complex has long been ingrained!
At the end, Pierce licked his lips and laughed:
"It's just that I don't know who will be her master in the future, and who can experience the ecstasy and charm. I don't know whose toes she will kneel in front of, lick whose toes, and look at her with those seductive eyes. To whom! Haha, hahahaha... But no one has this chance. Since she is so cowardly, then squeeze out all her remaining value."
…
Recalling all the past, Felita laughed.
Grandpa said, don't hate humans, but protect them well.
But in the end, no one understood me. Everything I did was like a joke. When the Demon Army proposed "sacrificing myself for peace", the people shouted, as if they were relieved.
Felita also seemed relieved.
She was tied up like her mother, tied to a pillar, gagged, unable to chant or draw, and lost all power. And those ugly demons crawled towards her with grinning smiles after repeatedly confirming that there was no danger, and stretched out their sinful hands to her.
Monsters everywhere.
Felita's soft lips trembled, her teeth clenched the rough rope that bound her mouth tightly, and blood flowed out between her white teeth.
But I really want to live.
I want to be recognized by human beings, I want to integrate into human life, I want to talk freely with them, I want to have a more ordinary and long-term future.
is it my fault? Is it my fault that I have the blood of the demons and killed my mother and grandfather
The monster tore her shirt.
That foul-smelling mouth and those ferocious sharp teeth bit her fair neck like that.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of gold and iron colliding, and the sound of something piercing into flesh and blood.
The swarming monsters stopped.
Felita turned around with difficulty, and saw the young man waving his hands exaggeratedly as if trying to repel mosquitoes:
"Fuck you, get the hell out! Don't you know that private property is sacred and inviolable? I'm the lord of Yuxi City now, and this is our magician of Yuxi City. Whoever robs me is in a hurry. Do you hear me? Ah ?? Damn chicken, you still dare to try it, Alayya, beat it for me!!"
The woman in the silver-white armor passed by her side like the wind, and pulled out the sword that had been nailed into the monster's head before. The sharp sword killed the monster who dared to lean on her to pieces.
The boy who was taller than him slowly followed up and untied himself from the rope.
Felita leaned against him without any strength, in his arms to be precise.
She saw the smiling, gentle and elegant young man looking at the overwhelming demons, his hands did not shake, and he said as if everything in the world was not in his eyes:
"I, Lide, is going to take her away today, let's see who has the guts to stand in front of me!"
