Lucy Reborn Chapter 27

Lady Rimes quickly finds the maids bribed to poison Lucy . "When the Third Miss wakes up, gather everyone in the Palace at the training grounds to bear witness" Prince Jing orders .

two hours later, Lucy wakes up and takes a bath . "Third Miss is called for to witness," A maid says . Lucy shrugs, leaning her head on Mom's shoulder . She is carried outside and stands in a crowd . Lucy blinks seeing her sisters, and brother there . Many servants and a crowd of beauties dressed in silk stood around waiting . Must be Father's concubines . Damn, that's an army! A lady Lucy recognizes from the Rimes Manor stands by the bound maids . She was holding a small gem .

"Witness" Father says, this one word, his glare sweeping across the crowd . The lady steps forward, and the gem she held glows a soft white . Lucy's eyes widen . It's pure energy! My pure energy! She is using my pure energy! "I fed the Third Miss Frost Poison . " "I fed the Third Miss Gust Poison . " "I fed the Third Miss Royal Foxglove poison" Those words, forced by the small gem . How is that gem doing that? What is that gem? While Lucy stares intently at the small gem, the other two maids beg for forgiveness for not finding the traitors .

"The two were neglectful of the Third Miss' health shall be whipped 20 times, and sold . The three traitors are shall greet Hades" Carlos announces . Without another word, a guard pulls his sword and cut off Liz's arm . Slice, by slice Liz was cut apart, her heart falling last . Bin screams, struggling, but her blood hits the dirt, making a gross puddle . Tammy was last . She was quiet as she died . Lucy watches, slightly queasy .

Is it really necessary for me to see this, Father? This is really gross! Still, Lucy's option didn't matter . The entire Jing palace watched the last two maids whipped, and dragged away . Once they were gone, Lucy's attention switches back to the small gem in that woman's hands . "Papa" Lucy shouts, getting his attention . He walks over, the lady following . "Hold me" Lucy reaches for him, once he was closer . "Hello, little thing . Do you feel better?" Father asks . Lucy points to the gem, that the woman held . "What?" Lucy asks, "A truth crystal . It makes people tell the truth . " Father answers .

Lucy's eyes widen . Oh, I need that! "Want" Lucy demands . Father chuckles . "It can only be used by someone of the Light Affinity . Until you have your Affinity Awakening, you won't be able to use any element" Father explains . "Besides, you have tested as Air affinity . " Oh, then I definitely have to reveal my pure energy . No, Light affinity, so I can get a Truth crystal . Lucy yawns, tired . "Take the Third Miss back to rest" Father orders .

Lucy snuggles into her Mom's arms and goes to nap while a storm of blood is created across several influential households . Imperial Lord Sean's Manor was breached, and every living thing was murdered, down to the dogs, and kittens . Later, Imperial guards find Imperial Lord Sean in bed with his concubine, his throat cut .

Chief Wilson's manor burns down with no survivors . Various noble houses connected to Imperial Lord Sean or Minster Gong disappear completely . Even those serving off at the border, or in other providences die that night .

Minster Gong lives but is struck by mysterious bandits wearing masks . His treasury looted, his guards, servants, his concubines, and all his heirs murdered . He is left with infant daughters, a shrill wife he hates, and an empty treasury . And the reason for this minor bloodbath slept peacefully, dreaming of dancing in a field of flowers on earth .
