Ordinary people can also be the protagonist in a comic strip

Everything that happened in the Night Palace at this time was heard clearly by a spider-shaped, miniature monitoring robot that Lorraine had hidden in Rocco's hair in advance.

-

Outside the Night Palace, on a steep slope several hundred meters away.

Lorraine, who was lurking there, used monitoring equipment to listen to everything that happened in the hall.

Rocco's miserable wail.

For a while.

Even Wutina, Qiwu, and Gulisi felt a chill in their hearts.

Guliqi hid in Lorraine's arms with some fear, burying his head in them.

Qi Wu complained, "This King Eluno is really a piece of shit. She actually treats her subordinates like this. Isn't she too much?"

Wu Tina also replied, "It seems that everything is really as Brother Lin predicted. After Luo Ke returns, he will not be trusted or understood at all. Instead, he will be treated like a traitor and abused."

Lorraine said nothing.

at this time.

Wu Tina asked.

"Brother Lin, Luo Ke is now in prison and in critical condition. Should we follow the plan and rescue her together?"

Lorraine thought for a moment.

shook his head.

Wu Tina was puzzled.

"Brother Lin, are you really not going to save her?"

"Although Queen Elno seems to be very cruel now, she has not thought of executing Miss Rocco, so we don't need to save her."

"What if she gets beaten to death?"

"Ms. Rocco is a three-star female cadre after all. With the blessing of magic, it is not easy for her to die."

"I used to think she deserved the suffering she endured, but now that I hear she was being brutally abused, I still feel a little sorry for her."

"Yes, she was used and deceived by us, and after returning... she was questioned and insulted by King Elno. She is indeed pitiful."

"If we rescue her now, we should be able to win her over to our side, right?"

Lorraine looked at Wu Tina.

He said seriously, "Evil, you are wrong. Our real purpose now is not to recruit her into the group, but to use her to disintegrate the unity and will of the entire monarch group. This is the real purpose. If I just wanted to win her over, I would have done so in the camp before."

"That's true. It's a pity that King Eluno is so arrogant that he doesn't even know that he has fallen into your trap, Brother Lin."

"Every whip she lashes out now is actually hitting herself. When a person in power only knows how to use violence and threats to control her subordinates, she is doomed to end up being pushed down by everyone."

……

Inside the Night Palace.

The severe pain and prolonged screaming and crying finally made Rocco become confused and gradually exhausted.

But just when she was about to faint from the pain, a bucket of cold water was poured on her face, instantly bringing her back to consciousness.

now.

Rocco's originally fair and beautiful body was now covered with scars and looked horrible.

Such a scene really made Sister Qijinte, who was standing by, unable to bear to watch it anymore. She turned her head away with a sad face.

Seeing that King Elno wanted to continue whipping her.

Leiber finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"

"Ok?"

"Luo Ke is usually a fool, so she acted a little impulsively. Now she knows she is wrong. Please forgive her, Your Majesty, and don't beat her anymore."

but.

Leiber's plea was met with a cold look from King Elno.

"Lebelblum, are you pleading for her?"

"This... I... Your Majesty, we are still at war with the group led by Lorraine. If Rocco is seriously injured and loses her ability to fight, wouldn't it be more disadvantageous for us? Wouldn't it be better to keep her and let her atone for her sins and continue to fight the enemy?"

"Now that you put it that way, it makes some sense."

"That!……"

Leibel's face lit up with joy when he saw that he had convinced the other party.

however.

King Elunor suddenly changed the subject, sneered, and threw the whip in his hand to her feet. Leibel was stunned and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what are you doing..."

"pick it up."

"what?"

"I asked you to pick it up."

"Uh, yes."

Leiber picked up the whip that had fallen to the ground.

King Elno said coldly.

"Now, you will take my place and whip this loser for the last twenty lashes. Then I will leave this matter alone and forgive the past."

"What???"

"If you don't whip her, then wait, I will whip her 200 more times! Since you care about her so much, speak for her, and plead for her, then help her one last time."

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Why, don't you want to?"

"Luo Ke is about to pass out from the pain."

"What does that have to do with me? She made a mistake, so she should be punished!"

"Your Majesty..."

"Lebelblum, listen to me. This is the order I gave you. Now, you either execute it! Or you step aside obediently, shut your mouth, and watch me whip her another 200 times!"

King Elno's roar and aggressive posture.

For a moment, Leiber was in a dilemma.

finally.

Under her coercion, Leiber still came to Rocco with a whip in hand, looking at his former best friend, whose helpless and pitiful eyes were staring at him intently.

Leiber felt extremely sad.

King Elno's voice sounded again.

"Hurry up! Don't waste my time. Beat me, beat me hard. If you dare to be perfunctory, you will have to bear two hundred lashes!"

Under such threat.

Even though Leibel was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to obey and apologized painfully, "I'm sorry, Rocco!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

As the sounds of whipping rang out again, Rocco's screams made Leibel close his eyes and shed tears of pain.

……

at last.

Twenty lashes were given.

King Elno saw that Rocco was on the verge of collapse, and considering that she would be needed to fight in the upcoming war, he finally forgave her this time.

"Lokko!"

When the hanging Roco was let down, Leibel dropped the rope in his hand and was the first to rush up and hug her.

Watching her dying in his arms.

Leiber felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

-

King Elno just looked at her coldly.

"Humph, useless trash, you can't do anything good, but you are always causing trouble."

After leaving such a sarcastic remark.

She didn't stay any longer and turned and left.

Sister Chigent also looked at Rocco with sympathy, then turned around and followed King Elno's footsteps.

And that’s the last sentence.

But Leiber, who was holding Rocco in his arms, looked up and looked at the other's departing back, with a trace of increasingly obvious hatred and disgust in his eyes.

At the same time, he secretly clenched his fists.

He gritted his teeth.

"That's too much. This guy is such a bastard."
