The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 64

After a long gripping night, the next day several teachers and students of the Moon Shadow academy who survived buried the bodies of their colleagues who died in the massacre. They stared wryly at the graves of innocent people who became the scapegoats of the king of Seanthuria.

Tears just flowed past their cheeks. They weep for their friends and companions who have fused with the land.

Emperor Ein came and prayed to them. Inwardly, the man planned vengeance on the annoying Seanthuria kingdom in his eyes, even more irritating than the most hypocritical person.

He did not want to kill them or destroy them even though his hands were itching to carry out a massacre. He wanted to repay them with sadism.

Make them happy first, then drop them slowly and make them suffer. If it kills, the pain is only fleeting and too luxurious according to him. That was how Emperor Ein finished off his enemies.

"You should live in a coastal town with your family. The village used to be a rebel stronghold, and now it's underpopulated and there's a lot of empty houses." Emperor Ein offered them a place to stay.

"Thank you for the offer, Sire." Say them simultaneously.

"Eh."

The Emperor looked at Khalix who was looking down miserably. The young man had lost all his teammates, companions and including the guidance teacher who had been concerned about him all along. If he is accused of a coup by his own father, then he must gather strength and carry out a coup.

"You must be strong. Now we go to the empire before heading towards the middle region." Emperor Ein.

"Okay, Sire."

The two of them left the academy building, a building that bore silent witness to a massive massacre involving people who knew nothing.

💠💠💠💠

Leona wore a black robe and stood on top of a tree. After being quite quiet and feeling that no one was there, he immediately went down and approached the tomb-eating victims of the Seanthurian royal massacre.

Leona took out a bottle of wine and poured it in front of the tomb, then said in a bitter tone.

"I don't know you too closely, but I do know some of you. I'm sorry for bringing a bottle of wine, because I don't know your favorite drink."

Silent moment. The gentle breeze of the wind made Leona's robe flutter in the wind. Leona looked at the tomb grimly.

"I know it's not fair to you, I promise to avenge this injustice." Leona said with determination.

The girl stuck out her hand as if holding something. Suddenly a few flower petals appear, the longer the flower petals more and more with a variety of colors and types. Slowly the petals of the flower form a bouquet of large and very beautiful flowers with a variety of colors and types.

Leona placed the bouquet in front of the tomb. He prayed for a moment and stared at the tomb for the last time.

"May you guys calm down there."

Leona turned away leaving the tomb accompanied by a breeze that flew leaves and flower petals. Slowly Leona's body turned into flower petals and scattered flying in the air.

Meanwhile, the news of Leona's death is heard in Jim's ear. The man slumped his body. He hopes the news is a lie and Leona is still alive. He couldn't imagine if his brash nephew wasn't so quick.

"I can't believe it as long as the body isn't here." Jim stared blankly ahead. Leona is the only family she has. Although the nephews were far away, yet they still had a blood relation. She loved the girl like her own sister.

Some of the servants and workers who heard the news were sad. Leona was their savior, their light of hope. He saved them from cursed slavery and was given a decent life. Treat them like human beings and improve their standard of living. Even some demons felt lost.

"Miss is not dead, Jim-sama. He's still alive." Said Kaze suddenly with a visibly annoyed look.

"Where is he, Kaze? If he's really alive, he should be with you." Jim said expectantly as he saw Kei, Ken and Kaze standing in front of his door.

The three of them looked down. Ken answered with a soft voice that everyone could hear.

"The Moon Shadow Academy suffered a massacre. Everyone who goes to school there is dead, Jim-sama. Only a few people survived because they were on missions or on vacation."

'Jederr!'

Like in a bolt of lightning in broad daylight, Jim's heart slipped to hear Ken's words. He thought Leona was the victim among the students who died.

"For that, an insect must be exterminated, right?" Kei said as he fired his pheromones at Jim, more precisely in his workplace window.

Kei flicked his pheromones to coincide with the agonizing cries of several people and the sound of bodies falling down. It's certain they're dead.

"Explain what happened."

💠💠💠💠

The petals of the flower slowly formed the human body, the longer it looked like a beautiful girl with jet black hair curls a little emo. His red eyes lit up in the dark.

"Sorry, late account."

The four men opened the hood on his head, which was none other than the girl's companion.

"Wah~ you have a good technique." Praise the purple-haired man pigtailed at his nape.

"This is my training, Master. I have neither mana nor aura, but I have chakra." Obviously the girl.

The four men nodded their heads as if understanding.

"Then what's our plan?" Ask the baby blue haired youth.

"We're going to the middle forest. But we take a short vacation in Bloom Mist while waiting for Prince Khalix with his entourage." Obviously Carl.

"Why do we have to go to the middle region, Master? What about our mission?" Eura asked inadmissively. He is not willing to lose the source of income.

"You guys graduated early. The academy is destroyed. Survivors will be sent to the middle." Carl tried to explain.

"For so long no one has tried to enter the middle region, Master. At least some people arrived at the edge of the middle region, but they died after a few days." Iven gave some facts.

"They entered a nest of parasites that were in the northwest of Bloom Mist." It was clearly Leona who made them stare at him.

"Some time ago, some Castallio warriors entered the region. There are parasites in their bodies. So I dissected their bodies and removed the parasites. Only surgery can cure them." Leona said that made them shudder in horror. Their minds wandered to imagine the surgery Leona did in their respective versions. It's hideous!

💠💠💠💠

"I'm disappointed in you, Calvian. You abandoned my son after my death, took a child of unknown origin, forgot the fleshly blood started on its own and drove him away?"

A beautiful woman with dark brown hair looked at him with a wounded expression while clutching a beautiful black haired girl who was crying sobbing in his arms.

"Miria, I'm sorry." Said the black-haired man with a guilty and hurt feeling.

"I took back my daughter. He will be happy with me, with his family. I'm sorry I let him live." Those beautiful red eyes with pointed irises looked at Leona with longing and sadness. Imagine how lonely the girl who is his biological daughter.

"I'm sorry for the mother who left you, son. Now we meet again after all this time."

"I'm lonely, ma'am... Hix... I'm lonely..." The girl's crying broke that was heart-wrenching.

"Everybody hates me, Mother! Father, even my sister hates me. Why did you save me and not let me die?!" Raung Leona's hysterical.

Miria calmed Leona who was now looking at her disappointedly. "Am I born to hate? If true, then I will make you hate me even more!" Leona's absolute disconnect that left the two of them stunned.

"I'm sorry, son." Calvian said with regret.

Leona looked at Calvian cynically. He was fed up with the various ways to attract his father and brother, starting to be an exemplary student, training to the dying, ethics and more. But it's all for nothing. Only Iris and Iris got their attention.

"Why did you apologize after I left, Dad? Why just now? Now that I curse anyone who fills my body, he will never expect anything, including love from anyone! For now my body has been filled by another soul..." He said firmly with a soft tone at the end of his words.

"I've forgiven Dad, so get out of it. Lucky now Leona who fills my body is kind to you. And one more thing, I'm dead from falling down the stairs pushed by Iris, your beloved daughter. He's not who you imagined he was. Good bye."

'Huh!'

Calvian gasped when the dream came again. A dream that comes every night since his head was hit by a basketball by Leona in Bloom Mist.

Calvian is now deeply sorry and guilty. He has failed to become a father to Leona and loves Iris more than his flesh and blood.

The middle-aged man who was still handsome at his age who was no longer young could only stare at the moon shining softly. He no longer had a chance to atone for sins to his biological daughter.

His body had been carried away by the black-haired youth, who might have been a demon, judging by his facial features. She faintly heard the man growling like a predator.

Given the fact that Leona had been expelled made him have no rights. If only he could tear down his ego, perhaps something like this would not happen.
