Cornelia lay quietly in Prynne's arms, enjoying this rare hug. In her memory, Prynne had never hugged her like this.
Moreover, it was worth mentioning that Prynne and Cornelia looked like a pair of lovers in love.
Such an intimate action would not be done if they were not in a good relationship or if they were true lovers.
However, Prynne did not hesitate to hug Cornelia in his arms. He could feel the struggle and pain in Cornelia's heart, which was why he did this.
She did not realize that only lovers would do such a thing. Prynne did not have any unhealthy thoughts, nor did she deliberately take advantage of Cornelia.
He simply wanted to comfort Cornelia and not let her be so sad.
Prynne had watched Cornelia grow up. He knew very well what kind of girl Cornelia was. When she was on a mission, Cornelia would not hesitate to be ruthless.
She could kill any enemy, but normally, Cornelia was just an ordinary girl. She would also feel heartache and sadness.
Cornelia was a very kind girl. Although her hands were stained with blood, it did not stop her from having a kind heart.
This sounded contradictory, but it was the truth.
Up until now, Prynne still blamed herself for training them back then. If she had not done so back then, perhaps their lives would have been different.
However, just as Cornelia and the others had said, if Prynne had not trained them back then, they would have been secretly disposed of by the Empire and would not have survived.
Therefore, Prynne had always been conflicted. Moreover, she had always subconsciously treated Cornelia and the others as children.
He knew that they had grown up, but he still found it difficult to walk away from this point of view.
"Alright, Coll, don't be sad. This empire has already decayed. What we are doing now is for more people to live a happy life, right? Wasn't it to save these innocent people?”
Prynne comforted Cornelia and stroked her back like an adult coaxing a child.
"Yes."
Lying in Prynne's arms, Cornelia hummed softly. Her face was flushed red, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Her eyes were filled with happiness.
Prynne was not clear about Cornelia's feelings towards him. In fact, Prynne was a very slow person when it came to feelings. Unless it was a really critical moment, he would only realize the feelings of the people around him.
It was only at that moment that he would understand his heart. Normally, he would not have realized anything.
"Damn it, is he dead? Why was there no reaction at all? Go ahead and scream!"
The manager's rough and angry words were heard. From time to time, the sound of hitting flesh could be heard. The manager was obviously beating up the girl he had violated.
The young girl's eyes were still empty and lifeless. There was no light in them as she allowed the person in charge to whip her.
He didn't stop until the person in charge was tired. He continued to stab the girl's body and moved crazily until he was satisfied. Then he left the girl's body and threw her into the iron cage.
Then, he brought out another imprisoned girl, and once again, the scene of the palace was played out.
Outside, Prynne's eyes had already become extremely cold, and her killing intent was obvious. However, she was still in no hurry to make a move, waiting for Sha You to wake up.
Cornelia was obediently lying in Prynne's arms. If Prynne did not take the initiative to push her away, Cornelia would probably remain in this position.
This was a rare opportunity. How could Cornelia miss it? If she missed this opportunity, who knew when the next one would come.
Moreover, Prynne's embrace was not something that could be obtained just because he wanted it. This time, Prynne would only hug him under special circumstances. Normally, he would not be able to do so, so he had to cherish it even more.
It was not that Cornelia was infatuated, but that she truly loved Prynne. She was willing to give up everything for Prynne, even her own life.
If she did not love Prynne deeply, she would not have left with Prynne when he left the Empire. She did not want to be separated from Prynne. She wanted to follow Prynne for the rest of her life.
Even if she could not become Prynne's wife in the end, she still hoped to stay by Prynne's side until the day she died.
This love was heavy, very heavy.
The other four girls in Heaven's Punishment also loved Prynne like Cornelia.
As for the three of them, it was because Prynne had helped them in their cultivation, saving their lives, and educating them. All three of them could only be repaid with their own lives.
They followed Prynne because of the above reasons, and because they truly wanted to follow Prynne.
Moreover, Prynne was worthy of their following. The empire was so rotten, and the capital was so dark. Every noble only cared about their own interests and did not care about the lives of the people.
Most of the officials chose to fall. Only Bai Lan remained untainted and remained true to herself. In the end, she even left the Empire and established Tian Fa. She worked with the Revolutionary Army to overthrow the Empire and establish a new country.
They saw the light of hope from Prynne, which was also the reason why they were willing to follow Prynne.
In fact, there were all kinds of reasons, but one thing was certain. They were willing to give up everything for Prynne, even their own lives.
No matter what the reason was, to be able to abandon their lives without hesitation was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.
Prynne was their instructor, a father-like existence. In their hearts, Prynne's position was unshakable.
Anyone who wanted to hurt Prynne would be seen as an enemy by them. They would not be lenient when dealing with enemies and would kill them mercilessly.
Although they were assassins, they had their own feelings. They were killing for Bai Lan.
Prynne did not know about this. If he knew, he would definitely be very gratified. At the same time, he would be in even more pain because it was him who made them pick up the butcher knife in their hands.
Regardless of whether they killed bad people or good people, they were still killing people. This was an unchangeable fact.
