Dragon King's Harem Chapter 202. Cold Interrogation III
An hour had passed since the interrogation started, I didn't know how many times the guard had put the hot iron on his skin or how many times Evelina had healed General Kul when he was on the verge of death just to get another torture. But General Kul didn't answer any of my questions.
It irritated me a lot and even made me think of giving him a terrible torment than this. Something hotter than hell. But before I said my order, Evelina let out her voice.
“Your Majesty, can I help you with the interrogation?” she asked. I knew she couldn't bear the general's scream anymore. I could feel how her trembling hand gripped my hand tightly.
"You want to help?" I made sure in disbelief. She was scared and even asked me not to get my hands dirty, so that was a little strange for me.
"Yes. But I will help you in my way. Once you get what you want, please give him a painless death," she pleaded.
Realizing she just wanted to speed up his pain, I agreed.
"Fine." To be honest, I also didn't like this gruesome view either. It was weird indeed since I felt nothing when I killed my enemy but torturing him was something else.
But one thing that confused me. If she knew the shortcut, why didn't she offer it to me in the first place? Moreover, she only told me that she had a way to help with this interrogation.
After answering with a nod, she approached the dying general. Instead of the cold gaze of the dragon tribe, Evelina looked at the general with pity.
“General, I know it was your king who sent you to get me. The war and all the pain that you are experiencing right now is not because of your wishes, but for your loyalty to your king," she said in a gentle voice. Her voice sounded like a ray of light in the middle of this endless hell loop. It was unbelievable that she just clashed with the general a few hours ago, but now, she could treat him gently.
“Who are you…to judge…?” replied General Kul weakly without lifting his head. “My king… loves you so much… He sent his army… just to take you from the dragon king… who has wasted you… for decades…” he said again in a low voice. A short pause followed.
After General Kul gathered his strength, he spoke again.
“But... look at you. You don't care about it… You're wasting him… And everything…” he said, ending with a gasp. His disappointment was clear from the tone of his voice. At this point, I knew talking was something difficult for him due to his severe wounds.
Realizing he was dying, she removed her hand from her staff, letting it float by her side. Compassionately, she placed both hands on his cheeks before lifting his head slowly, making him stare into her eyes. His face was covered with dirt, blood, and obvious wounds. His hair was messy and damp since the guard kept splashing the water on him once he passed out.
“Forgive me. Please let me end all of your misery…” she replied in sadness. Her eyes looked at him in sympathy.
Those simple words were enough to make the general stunned. I could see his eyes shaking in clear emotion. Especially since I knew… the pain of torture was real. We used fire elements and burnt him gradually. It tortured an earth element Mana creature like him like crazy. For him, this place was the same as hell. Even if it was only for an hour he couldn't stand it.
Unconsciously, tears dripped from his eyes even though not a word came out of his mouth.
Her gentle gesture triggered jealousy in my heart. I even clenched my fists in order to hold back my anger. I wanted to kill him right away, but I held myself back since I didn't know what Evelina wanted to do to him. But of course, if she went too far, I wouldn't hesitate to execute him on the spot.
After that, the crystal at the top of her staff glowed in white. It was so bright that I felt like the sun was shining directly on me. I raised my hand to protect my eyes from the light. When the light faded, I could see Evelina's body fall, almost hitting the floor.
I gasped in shock and reflexively used my skill.
'Telekinesis.'
[Evelina Lavinia Iaoth is in your control]
My Telekinesis caught her just in time, making her body float in mid-air.
I rushed over to her and embraced her, taking her in my arms.
"What have you done?" I asked worriedly. My eyes fell on Evelina's pale face and her trembling lips.
But before she answered, it was General Kul who replied to me.
"WHY?! WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME?! WHY DID YOU MAKE ME BETRAY MY KING?!” he suddenly yelled in anger. I didn't know where he got the strength to shout like that. General Kul looked at Evelina with trembling eyes. His eyes were filled with clear anger and hatred. He struggled with all of his might and made the chains sway as result.
All of us turned to him in shock, but he ignored us. What was in his eyes was the frail Evelina in my arms.
In difficulty, Evelina returned to her feet and returned her gaze to him.
“Forgive me, General. I have no other choice but to read your mind,” she said in regret.
'Read mind?' I thought. I remembered Evelina shouldn't have that skill so I decided to check it with my Analyze skill. From the result, I realized she had new skills and her level was higher than last time.
'That's why,' I understood General Kul's anger since that meant Evelina knew all the information he had. That's also the reason why she collapsed. The memory that rushed into her head was too much for her.
“Look at the bright side, General. You don't have to feel guilty for telling all the secrets anymore and also will get a quick death. Doesn't that sound good?" While that sounds like a mockery, it was a bitter truth.
