Gardenia of Blooming Desire

Chapter 177: The Colour of Revenge II

"She killed my five unborn babies. Skin her alive."

Ludwig was staring at the knife in his hand. He looked up to his big sis and asked, "If I skin her alive, will you forgive me? Will you forget about this?"

Camille smiled, "Who knows, you will never know if you don't try it first."

Ludwig pouted like a little kid, "But she only has one life! What if after I skinned and killed her, you still won't forgive me! Should I skin half of her body and ask for your forgiveness again?"

Empress Eva was shocked with Ludwig, "What are you saying Ludwig! You are my son! I did everything for you!"

Ludwig glared at his mother, his eyes so cold for his own mother, "You have no use for me. If my big sis said that you shall die, then you must."

Camille laughed, seeing how ridiculous Empress Eva was, "Oh, Eva. You are facing two golden bloods, you are just an outsider."

Camille grinned maliciously, she looked like a demoness who loved to see her victim getting tortured. With a low sarcastic tone, Camille said; "Eva, do you know what is the color of revenge?"

"It's crimson red."

Ludwig raised the knife and approached his mother who struggled as much as she could, "Ludwig, Ludwig! She used you! She didn't love you at all! Trust your mother this time, we need to go now!"

*WARNING: GORE* *Please skip for the faint heart*

Ludwig clicked his tongue in annoyance and pulled Eva's hair roughly, "You heard what my Big sis said? You are just an outsider."

Ludwig cut his mother's hair with the knife. Eva was screaming frantically, she screamed for help, but no one was coming.

"Big sis, which part do you want me to start first?" Ludwig asked with a smile on his face. He had his golden eyes fully shining when he saw his big sis smile at him.

"Skin her arm first, then leg and then face. Remember, Ludwig, you must skin her like an animal, make it as clean as you can, okay?"

"Yes, big sis!"

Empress Eva could feel the sharp knife slowly penetrating her skin and then made a vertical cut on her skin. She screamed crazily, she even started to slam Ludwig's head against hers. But Ludwig was unbothered. He was very happy whenever he cut another layer of skin, and blood started showing up, his sister would smile at her.

'Ah, this is heaven!' Ludwig was humming happily and cut part of his mother's skin more and more. Eva's head was bleeding because she smashed her forehead against Ludwig's many times. Ludwig's head was still perfectly intact, there was no bleeding at all.

The pain was getting more unbearable, Eva finally realized that his son was really going to kill her. She started crying and begging, "Mercy, please forgive me! I will do anything, please forgive me!"

Camille looked at her disgustedly, "You killed my five unborn child and tortured my husband and I without mercy, why would I be an angel for a devious sinner?"

"LLudwig, please please I beg you, spare your mother, your own mother" Eva begged weakly. The pain made her faint a few times, then she was slapped again so she could consciously feel the pain.

Ludwig didn't seem to hear her, like skinning an animal, he skinned his own mother, and then showed the flesh to his sister. Whenever he saw his sister's satisfied expression, his attention was only directed to his sister.

Ludwig skinned all of Eva's arms, legs, and finally half of her face were skinned already. Eva was on the brink of her life, and Ludwig's shirt and hands were bloody red.

"Big sis! Do you forgive me now?"

"Well, I will, with one more thing," Camilled smiled, she pointed at Eva's stomach, "Open her stomach and unravel her guts."

Empress Eva looked at Camille and Ludwig for the last time in fear, the last moment she saw was a pair of shining golden eyes and black eyes staring at her.

'My happiness'

Ludwig stabbed his mother and sliced her stomach open. He took out her guts and presented it in front of his sister, "Big sis! Do you forgive me now?"

Camille saw the corpse in front of her, her body was destroyed beyond recognition, it was all flesh and her inside was showing grotesquely. She was extremely satisfied.

*End of Gore Section*

"I forgive you, my little brother," Camille kissed the edge of Ludwig's lips and whispered, "My little brother is twenty years old already, he should know how to clean his mess, right?"

Ludwig was ecstatic because his lips finally touched his sister's lips for the first time. He nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes! I will clean the mess up! Big sis doesn't need to worry about dead things like this!"

"Mhm, I know I could rely on you."

Ludwig really wanted to ask whether his big sis wanted to abort her baby too, since it was not his baby. It was Harion's baby. But he already made a grave mistake, he didnt dare to anger his sister even more.

'Besides, I already got my kiss~'

Ludwig leisurely threw the unrecognizable corpse of his mother to the crate and closed it tight. "Thank you for forgiving me, big sis! I will see you later, you know, this thing in the crate. She will create trouble if I don't dispose of her soon!"

Ludwig left the room while carrying the heavy crate in his right arm, because of his golden eyes state right now, his strength was drastically increased, but it suppressed his emotional intelligence to almost zero. It was the signature of golden eyes. The tradeoff between two important things inside them.

Camille's eyes turned normal after few minutes, she caressed her stomach gently and said;

"My baby, did you see that? That is the color of revenge, a beautiful red color. Like a crimson of a deep ruby. And it is beautiful."

"Once you've become an adult, you must find a way to obtain the beautiful color of revenge, it is really important. Because my life, your life, we never have an easy life. Be strong, my cute Aster."

"Don't worry about Ludwig, I will skin his life. I will skin his newborn daughter, Rosalie. I will inherit the Golden Princess title to her, then suppress her until she was nothing but a laughing stock. I will ruin Charles until he is unable to think anymore, I will kill Beatrice with my own hand."

"I will do everything for you, so you won't suffer."

Camille's golden circle flickered whilst caressing her belly, soon, few spots of golden color appeared in her eyes.

***

Empress Eva was dead. The news finally leaked a month after her supposed death of heart attack. The Emperor was grief stricken that he halted all his schedule to colonize some more countries, he just headed back to Golden Camellia.

There was no grand funeral deserved for an Empress. There was no tombstone either. Because Empress Eva was a low born, and she was a really unpopular Empress during her life as a ruler. The court refused to give her a royal funeral.

Even more, people were cheering happily in their heart when they heard Empress Eva was dead. Because after Golden Princess Camille's life was leaked to the public, everyone understood how cruel this woman was.

Some people said that her death was well deserved because God didn't want an evil entity like her creating more havoc in the blessed Golden Camellia, maybe she returned to depths of hell, to her real home.

Emperor Leopold was crying while beside a mound of soil who was supposedly Empress Eva's grave. She was buried near the jungle, because no cemetery would accept her, even her hometown.

It was really disgraceful for a late Empress.

"Ludwig, who killed her?" Emperor Leopold asked while sobbing incessantly. Ludwig scoffed in his heart, he knew how horrible his Mother Empress was. He replied proudly;

"I killed her."

"What?!" Emperor Leopold's heart sank. He stared at his son, "What did you just say?"

"I killed her, I stabbed her to death," Ludwig said lightly. Emperor Leopold pulled his son's collar and harshly warned;

"This is not a joke!"

Yet, Ludwig feared nothing and pushed his father, "Do you know what she did? She poisoned your daughter, Big sis Camille, with infertility poison. Mother tortured my sister for two years that she had miscarriages five times."

Emperor Leopold froze on the spot. He knew that Eva hated Camille so much, but to kill five unborn babies

It wasn't hard to believe, considering Eva's true nature. But Emperor Leopold still didn't want to accept it.

Ludwig scoffed, "You didn't know, right? What do you know anyway, you never understand about her suffering. Funny, because you kept saying that Camille is your precious daughter. But you never protect her either. You failed as a father."

The Emperor finally loosened his grip in Ludwig's collar. He looked empty and unresponsive. Ludwig laughed and spit on his mother's grave.

"I will take care of the rest, you should know that I'll announce your dethronement soon. You are not going to be an Emperor anymore."

Ludwig left Emperor Leopold alone with his dead wife. He knew that his life as the Emperor was done for. Ludwig must've taken control of almost everything in the palace.

The Emperor was sitting beside the grave of Empress Eva.

'Eva, no matter how crazy you were. You are always inside my heart. Because you are my golden circle, forever and ever.'

'But everything is so hard nowadays, maybe because I'm too old'

' Or maybe, this is our karma?'
