She didn’t need friends.

She didn’t need those b*stard family.

She didn’t need anyone.

But why...?

Despite sacrificing everything for the sake of power, she was still crushed in the hands of these annoying people. These people have everything and could obtain everything that she wanted without the need to do anything.

It’s unfair...

The world is really unfair.

She had to sacrifice everything to be able obtain what she wanted and even after all that, she couldn’t get it.

But there were many people who could get everything without the need for them to do anything.

She hated it.

She hated everything.

Now, she couldn’t even do what she wanted to do because of the prohibition that Riya set up in her mind...

Victoria hated everyone.

Amelia looked at Victoria in front of her, tears streamed out of her eyes. Her hand gripped the sword as she slowly walked forward.

"I’m sorry..."

Why are you the one apologizing?

Victoria didn’t understand Amelia’s thoughts.

Since she wanted to kill Amelia, it was normal for Amelia to fight back. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to survive.

So why apologize for that?

As she thought... she hated her cousin very much.

...

Samuel walked out with Riya and saw Sophia, who was waiting anxiously.

"Amelia... is she alright?" Sophia quickly asked when she saw the two of them walked out of the ruined guest house.

"She’s fine. She’ll come out soon." Riya looked at Sophia and pursed her lips. "She might want to have some time alone, though."

Some time alone?

Is it because of Victoria?

Thinking about Victoria, even Sophia had a headache and could only nod weakly. Because if Sophia had to say, they used to be friends too and Sophia didn’t know what to say about it.

Being weak and all...

Sophia herself knew how it feels.

But she’s luckier because she obtained help from Riya and had Melly by her side. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Riya to help even if she wanted to. After all, it was impossible to forcefully raise one’s rank.

Seeing Sophia being silent, Riya nodded and then walked out of the guest house and the area. Seeing that there were more people, she slowly walked away, not knowing where to go.

To be honest, this was not the first time she saw this kind of scene.

Those people who walked on the path of demonic magicians were usually have extremely twisted mind and have various reasons to convince themselves that they were on the right path.

Most of the time, Riya didn’t have anything to say to them.

Because she knew that talking to these people would be useless.

They thought that their path is the correct one and it’s impossible for them to change it in their entire life. Because of that, debating with these people on the demonic magician’s path is an utterly useless and ridiculous thing.

Still, seeing those people who used to be close to her walked on this destructive path... she felt somewhat melancholic.

Even though Riya was not that close to Victoria because she rarely saw the other party, she could still say that Victoria is her friend.

But...

"If you have the chance to stop your friend from walking a destructive path but you didn’t do anything, will you feel guilty?"

"No." Samuel looked at Riya in front of him as the two of them walked on the dark street. "I can try to talk with them but in the end, it’s their lives and their own decision to walk on this path. I won’t lose myself because of their decision for their lives as I have my own life and it’s impossible to care for my friends all the time."

The only difference would be his wife and family members.

Because they were closer than friends.

And Samuel would try his best to keep them away from those things.

"I see." Riya nodded.

When she saw Victoria coming to City A Base back then, she had seen the faint hatred and ambitions when Victoria looked at them. It was clear that Victoria had her own plan for her own life and was unwilling to be ordinary.

An ambitious person like her... if it was greeted with tempting offer, might be willing to take it even if she knew it would not provide her with future.

Living with a toxic family like that, it would be a miracle for her not to be affected and even her intention when approaching them has never been pure. What she wanted was for them to treat her and helped her even without others doing anything...

A twisted logic.

And Riya could already see that Victoria was walking on that destructive path from the very beginning. A path that might end up hurting herself and those around her.

But Riya didn’t do anything.

Because she was not sure about her thoughts and it was not her business how Victoria lived her life in the end.

Riya has never been a meddlesome person. Because she knew very well that sometimes, some people didn’t want to be helped and just wanted to be left alone.

Besides...

"How stupid it is for one to think that they’re the center of the world," Riya mumbled in a low voice.

She could see that Victoria hated those who obtained everything so easily.

But has she ever thought that there were untold hardship behind other people’s success?

Many people had to struggle hard to achieve their current result.

"You can’t do anything to a person who didn’t want to help herself," Samuel said calmly.

Riya nodded.

She naturally understand that.

If a person didn’t want to change, other people’s words would only enter one ear and come out from the others.

Still...

It’s really annoying.
