That time, she anxiously asked her father to see a doctor, otherwise, he would die, but it was treated as a joke. Then her father, who succeeded to the Dukedom, died the next day.

If the death of the old duke could be explained by coincidence, after all, the old man was already on the verge of death at the time, then could the fact that the duke, who was in his prime, died suddenly of an acute illness the next day after the girl's words still be explained by coincidence?

Those who had feelings for the Duke began to vent their emotions on the girl, and those who had ill feelings towards the Duke began to attack the Duke's daughter unscrupulously.

Although the mother tried her best to protect her daughter, a woman who inherited the title from her husband did not have such solid rights, and she was a bit cowardly by nature and could not implement some strong measures.

Since then, 'Cursed Angelina' was born, and she became a monster that brought disaster through word of mouth among the nobles.

Once targeted malice begins to form, everything that follows will be difficult to stop. From then on, whether it is a murder case or a drought, as long as someone is willing, they can easily attribute it to the young girl and spread it among superstitious people.

As for the truth, no one cared anymore. All everyone needed was someone to curse. This situation continued until the girl was eleven years old, when her mother sent her to the capital of the Bahas Empire to study magic.

Although she was sent away to learn magic, her mother actually sent her away mainly to protect her. At that time, even the girl herself almost believed that she was really cursed.

Discovering her talent for magic was an unexpected gain. The most important thing she learned in the empire was the truth.

It wasn't that she caused the death of her father and grandfather, but she saw and observed their vitality almost exhausted, that's all.

All of this comes from her special ability - [Life Observation].

In this world, there is something called "superpowers." Unlike magic, which can be learned by anyone with talent and a mentor, superpowers are special abilities that are born with us. They are also unique abilities that do not exist in games. This other world has them.

In this world, approximately one in every two hundred people has superpowers. People who are born with superpowers are not uncommon in themselves, but these special abilities vary greatly; some are strong, some are weak, and they can be said to be varied.

For example, the ability to guess tomorrow's weather with a high probability; the ability to make grains mature a day earlier; the ability to accelerate the learning of magic; the ability to use dragon magic that existed in the world in the past. There are many types of abilities.

However, these are innate abilities that cannot be chosen or changed, so we often encounter situations where we cannot make good use of them. For example, if we enhance the ability to cause damage with a sword but end up with a physical condition that is so poor that we cannot lift the sword, then the ability will be of no use.

First of all, most superpowers are useless in themselves, and then there are also some situations where the superpowers cannot be used.

In the end, there are very few superpowers that can be put to good use. Except for extremely rare and powerful innate superpowers, superpowers that can determine a person's life are almost non-existent.

The essence of the girl's curse is the supernatural power she possesses - she has the ability to see through the vitality of others.

As long as Angelina activates this ability, in her field of vision, there will be a flame in the area of everyone's heart, bright or dark, of different colors, and the intensity of the flame corresponds to the intensity of that person's vitality.

The flames of young and middle-aged people will be brighter, while the flames of life of the elderly or those in poor health will naturally be dim, and the flames of the dying will naturally be on the verge of extinguishing.

It was because of this ability that she saw the moment when her grandfather's vitality disappeared, and also saw that her father's life was like a dying candle, although he seemed strong on the surface but had accumulated countless hidden illnesses on the inside.

Even without her, the lives that were destined to die would not have been saved. She was just speaking out what she saw.

If the Dragon Kingdom had excellent magic and common sense of supernatural powers like the Bahas Empire, instead of superstition about the so-called curse, perhaps Pelia's childhood would be completely different.

In the Bahas Empire, her magical talent and abilities were highly recognized. She was even introduced to the most powerful magician in the human race, Fruda Parade, by her mentor at the academy and received his guidance.

Once, he was received by the Emperor of the Empire, the Blood Emperor Gilknifer Rune Farod El, who treated him.

She had clearly received recognition over there and returned here with confidence, but this is the result she got.

Leaning against the door, the girl cried for a while, then stood up and wiped her tears.

She learned the truth in the empire, but when she came back she found that nothing had changed.

How could the malice that was released wantonly care about the truth? Thinking of this, the girl showed a bitter expression.

She had to be strong, so even if she wanted to cry, she couldn't cry out loud, and she couldn't let anyone see her. She had to maintain a tough attitude.

Even though she hated this land, she had no interest in the title of Duke and even wanted to stay in the Empire if possible.

However, Angelina had to protect her mother, and she had to endure it all for her poor mother.

If necessary, Angelina was even prepared to marry the Imperial Emperor Gilknifer as a concubine. The ambitious Blood Emperor was obviously very interested in her magical talent and abilities. As for her appearance, knowledge, and etiquette, Angelina was also quite confident.

For the Dragon Kingdom, which is relatively weak but neighbors the Orcish nation, a marriage with a militarily powerful empire is probably something they would love to have.

As for the empire, it is probably not without some interest in the control of Lord Maple Moon, whose current ruler and only heir are both women.

Her early experiences made her mature beyond her age, so that she could treat her own destiny so indifferently, without the leisure to consider boring things like so-called love. In the hands of the nobles, marriage was just one of the most important chips.

Angelina, who has nothing except her mother, is prepared to put herself and this chip on the gambling table at any time.

"Miss, please eat first." The old servant helped her to the table and rang the silver bell to signal the waiter to serve the meal.

The old servant who had taken care of Angelina since she was a child and provided guidance and education during her growth was one of the few people she could trust.

The dazzling array of dishes was quickly served. They looked very rich in color and tasted good, although it didn't matter to Pelia, who was in a bad mood.

After taking a sip of the tea handed to her by the old servant, Angelina ate quickly with the purpose of filling her stomach.

Then, at this moment, she suddenly felt everything in front of her become blurred.

She subconsciously wanted to use the [Awakening] magic, but the chaotic magic power in her body prevented the release of the magic.

After shaking twice, Angelina fell on the table.

"Success!" The waiter who was in charge of serving the dishes raised his head, and he reached out and wiped his face. The illusion magic was lifted, revealing a gloomy face.

His skin was a very unhealthy grayish-white color, he was so thin that he was just skin and bones, and there was a hideous scar above his left eye. Such a man showed a sinister and complacent smile.

The old servant said nothing, but just reached out his hand and gently stroked the girl's long, soft burgundy hair.

"Get ready and take her away in her carriage. Old man, don't play tricks. You will get some benefits after this deal is done." The man patted the old servant on the shoulder, then sat down on the seat at the table and began to enjoy the food that Angelina had not finished.

Several men in waiter uniforms slipped into the room, waved their hands, locked the door, and immediately began tying ropes around Angelina.

If Angelina was still awake, she would probably find that the coachman she hired was among these men.

"How old is she, fourteen or fifteen? Why is her figure so exaggerated?" The men talked in a low voice.

"Don't you think about what her mother, the Duke's wife, looks like? My goodness, that figure makes my legs weak. It's such a pity that she's a widow."

"Although I prefer cuter ones like the queen, I don't hate this kind either." Licking his lips, the man's hands began to become restless.

"The customer said he wanted her in one piece. If something bad happens to her, your lives will be used to pay for it." The man sitting next to them said coldly. Hearing this, the helpers immediately restrained themselves.

"Well, boss, it has to be complete, which means don't touch there." One of them suddenly had an idea and asked with a smile, rubbing his hands.

"Alright, tie her up quickly, be quick and stop talking nonsense. We can talk about everything after we leave the city." The man sneered.

"Hehe, I get it." Calculating how much profit they could get from such a smooth operation, as well as the enjoyment they would have later, the men smiled ugly.

At this time, next to this room, the Mithril-level adventurer team Moon Shadow was negotiating with the person they wanted to cooperate with.
