Died again...

Peruvian looked at the little gray spider in his hand with indifference.

This is already the seventh spider this month.

These Sumeru Desert Gray Spiders, known for their tenacious vitality, seem to be unable to survive more than five days once they fall into Peleweli's hands.

Why five days?

It's very simple. Five days is the time that the spider that lasted the longest survived in Peruvian's hands. The other spiders survived for a shorter time.

One of the spiders even survived for only a day.

"Ugh……"

Peruvian sighed softly, and a barely perceptible sadness appeared in her dead eyes.

why?

Why is the life of a spider so fragile?

Aren't they famous for their tenacious vitality?

He could even survive in the extremely harsh environment of the Sumeru Desert with lack of water and food, so why couldn't he survive more than a few days in her hands?

Peruvian didn't understand.

Why can the more fragile creatures such as rabbits and kittens raised by other brothers and sisters live healthily, but her spider can only die young?

Peruvian held the gray spider and came to a big tree in the back garden of the castle. There were already six small raised mounds of earth here.

These are all the final destinations of the little spider from Peleville.

Born in nature, we shall return to nature after death.

Peruvian skillfully dug the soil next to the six small mounds of earth. Peruvian did not put away the small shovel, she kept the small shovel next to the exposed tree roots.

This is her little shovel, and other brothers and sisters will not touch it.

Although [Mother] said that they would be a family in the future and would be extremely close brothers and sisters, it was obvious that the brothers and sisters were also afraid of themselves who were entangled in an ominous curse.

Peruvian had known this for a long time, she knew it on the first day she entered the Hearth House.

There is no stranger in the world who will be nice to you for no reason.

If so, then he will ask something of you next.

Peruvian was convinced of this.

Even so, [The Hearth House] is a registered charity in Fontaine.

Peruvian still wouldn't believe in [House of Hearth].

Especially...what the Fatui soldiers said when they found her that day.

"Are you sure? Is it her?"

"According to the portrait the adults gave, it must be this dirty girl."

"Okay, then take her back to [Heartland House]."

"I really don't understand why the adults specifically asked us to take such a dirty girl away."

"Shut up! Do you think you and I can question the adults' intentions? Just do your job! Don't cause trouble."

"Little sister, come with us..."

Those adults in strange clothes plotted loudly and without any scruples in front of Peleweli. From the mouths of those Fatui soldiers, Peleweli learned that this [Heatland House] was not as beautiful as it seemed.

What children’s castle, what warm haven…all false lies!

Peruvian didn't believe a word the woman who called herself "Mother" said.

However, Peruvian had no intention of escaping from here.

Although this is a place full of lies and may hide great dangers, in Peruvian's eyes, [House of Hearth] is also a very interesting place.

Besides, if Peruvian fled from [House of Hearth], where could she go?

Go back to that gray river and continue to be a mouse?

Peruvian didn't want to.

Because surviving in the Gray River means that sooner or later, she will run into the noble God because of stealing things.

The god is dressed gorgeously, clean and smells very good.

And I myself am smelly and dirty.

How can I talk to God when I am like that?

Peruvian will never forget the embarrassing moment she first met God, and she doesn't want to make a fool of herself in front of God again.

Even the mice living in the Gray River are eager to show their beautiful side to the pure water god.

When the Lord God stroked my head, I felt a feeling I had never experienced before.

Peruvian wanted to talk to the God once again.

In the Hearth House, Perewilli at least no longer had to wear dirty, smelly, tattered clothes, nor would she have to compete with other children for food from the swill bucket, nor would she have to steal bread from the bakery.

Here, there are delicious hot food, warm and beautiful clothes, a falsely gentle [mother], and brothers and sisters who are afraid of her but have to act enthusiastic in front of the [mother].

This fragile fairy tale fantasy was unexpectedly shattered quickly under Peruvian's cold gaze.

That day was the second New Year that the first group of children came to [Heatway House] to spend.

It was also the last peaceful New Year.

On this day, [Mother] Kujavina gathered all the children together.

Her delicately made-up face still had the same gentle and kind smile as always.

However, in Peruvian's eyes, that smile was still so disgusting and hypocritical.

Kugavina clapped her hands, tilted her head slightly, and spoke with a smile.

"My dear children, you have enjoyed a peaceful and warm life in [House of Hearth]. I believe you all cherish this kind of life."

"However, good times are always short-lived. In order for the children to have a skill after leaving [Heat House], I will teach you some self-defense techniques and fighting methods in the coming days. You must learn them well~"

"Every once in a while, we will have an assessment. Don't underestimate the assessment, because..."

"A child who fails the test will not be qualified to become the King. All that awaits him is elimination."

Kugavina's smile gradually turned cold, the curve of her mouth did not change at all, but all the children present were horrified.

what happened?

How could the mother who was usually so kind and gentle suddenly feel so strange to them?

Just conduct an assessment, why does [Mother] make it sound so scary?

Could it be that if we fail the test, we will be killed by [Mother]?

How is that possible...Haha, right, Mother?

You have to be kidding, right?

Peruvian hid in the crowd. She lowered her head and glanced at the smiling Kugavina out of the corner of her eye.

This woman really has no good intentions.

What exactly is assessment?

What happens to children who fail the test?

Peruvian frowned slightly, but soon she relaxed her brows.

It doesn’t matter what the assessment is, let [Mother] take the exam.

Peruvian was not afraid.

As for the "elimination" of those who fail the assessment as mentioned by Kugavina, Peruvian didn't care at all.

Although she hasn't learned it yet, Peruvian has the confidence.

I will definitely not be the one who is eliminated.

Just because of the curse on her!
