Retaliation of Disabled Girls
Chapter 42 Approaching the Truth

Eric's eyes were wide open. "If I make a mistake, I'll fix it, Diana. Please don't end this engagement."

"No, it's not your fault. What's wrong is me. I can't continue this."

The more I go through this, the more Eric will love me. The pain he's receiving is going to get worse, I don't want to happen.

"Why?" Eric lowered his voice while glazed over.

"Being with you makes me think of other people. I can't forget it" I replied softly.

Eric took my hand off slowly. His teeth sounded very loud. His eyes were burning but he looked in pain. "This is what I'm afraid of, Diana. You fell in love with her. Is there no room for me in your heart?"

"I don't know, Eric. It hurts me. I don't want to hurt you by giving you false hope." I shook my head slowly. My eyes feel hot. I tried to hold back these tears from coming out. 

"If there's any hope of getting close to you and making you fall for you, I'm fine to be hurt." Eric smiled with tears.

I bit my lower lip. My tears are unstoppable no more. "Please leave me alone, Eric. I need time to forget. When he's not on my mind, you can try to get my heart."

Eric bergeming. Lips trembling. His breathing is irregular. I can't see his eyes anymore. I turned my body over while wiping the sweat that was on my cheek.

"Well when that time comes, I hope you give me the answer I want Diana to give" Eric's voice sounded soft. 

'I hope so Eric'

The sound of Eric's steps up to the horse-drawn carriage. I turned my body to see it. 

"I'm sorry" I murmured. That speech will not be heard by him. Eric didn't see me at all. It's a futile deed but I want to say it to make my heart relieved. I've been a mean girl to Eric.

The horse-drawn carriage is getting away. I see the night sky. The moon is shining brightly, but not with me. I am a moon that is always covered by clouds of sadness.

I was at the Rockyard residence. Finding Derek was the only way to get Keith out of my head. In addition to that Eric happened yesterday also wanted to forget.

There is a palace witch standing guard here. It must be a preparation if at any time come back here. The palace witches and the head of the family must be looking for Derek's hideout all over the Kingdom. 

I set foot inside in hopes of finding something that the palace magician might miss. This house is completely empty. The furniture is missing, either brought by the palace witch for inspection or has been sold by Derek. 

Trevor once said that in the Rockyard residence there is a secret room. Unfortunately, he doesn't know where it is. Derek didn't tell Trevor even though they were friends.

Maybe I won't find it but there's no harm in trying. Room by room I searched for something suspicious but the results were nil. All the walls I examined carefully wished there was a secret button to open the secret room, but in vain.

I gave up and went home. I heard a strange sound at my feet. I trample the floor in this living room. The sound is different from the other floors. I bowed my knees while tapping on the floor where I was standing. It's like there's empty air down here.

I went inside there while using fire magic for lighting. The hallway was so narrow that I came to a door. I opened that door.

My eyes were wide open to see the scene before my eyes. I closed my nose because it smelled so bad. My revenge will not be fulfilled. This sucks, I should have killed him. However, I don't know if I can kill him instantly, the last time I tortured him there was no pleasure in my heart.

Trevor is gone. Aren't they friends? How could Derek do this to Trevor? 

I'm approaching Trevor's body. On his face was the burn I had made. Ice needle puncture wounds imprinted all over his body. His eyes are still wide open. Derek didn't even let her rest in peace. I don't know how many days Trevor died. I'll report this to Eric. Certainly by letter.

Time to go back to my house. I left this room for the living room. I was surprised to see this person in front of me. Did the palace witch not do her job with the becus? This guy grinned while clapping.

Prok...

"It's great that you can find a secret room in my residence, Diana. But I expected it. Do you like my gift?"

"You killed your own friend. Are you out of your mind?" my yelling.

"All I did was make the best use of the prey, Diana." There was no compassion or regret in his eyes. He was happy to do all this.

"Then why did you help Trevor in his previous life?"

"We want your magic power, Diana. And we managed to fool you, but there was a slight disturbance. The king often writes to you to ask about your situation, he also wants to visit to see you. Luckily Trevor was good at kinking and lying to her. He did not come and enjoyed reading the letter Trevor had written. Trevor lied to him that you were blind and asked to write him a letter."

So I've been misunderstanding Eric all this time. He really loved me in my previous life.

"You guys are really mean. A pair of selfish and crazy friends," my voice boomed throughout the room.

"Friends? He's just harnessed. After successfully absorbing all your power, I will absorb the magic power. That way once the oar of two three islands is exceeded."

Derek's gonna get my magic power and Trevor's. To him humans are just a collision to increase his magic power. I'll kill him. I will not forgive. People like him don't deserve to live. Before that I have to hear the reason he repeats time. I don't know how much his mind hurts.

"Why are you repeating Derek's time? Why did you kill me?" 

"There's no particular reason, Diana. I miraculously repeated the time maybe the gods felt sorry for this talented witch, thus giving a second chance to become the strongest magician in the world. The reason for killing you was of course because it wanted to absorb your power Diana. Trevor was killed before I could absorb his power."

Wait why it's so complicated. I have no idea what happened in my past life. If it wasn't Derek who forced Gauri to perform time-repeating magic then who would it be?

Not hearing a single word from me Derek continued, "About repeating time, maybe you don't realize it because your deformed self cannot know the outside world. There are three people whose actions are different in this life. The first was me, the second you, then the third.ah it turned out that he had also come here." Derek turned to the door.

My head turned. My head felt empty as soon as I saw it. That figure. Not likely. This is highly unlikely. Why her? 

Those blue eyes were staring at me.
