"Visenna, if you are willing to shed tears for me, it means that you are not a heartless mother, and it means that I still have some status in your heart."

The woman's heart was pierced face to face, and a slight roar came from her throat.

Yes.

There is no mother who does not love her child.

Especially for the female sorceresses with long lives, apart from family affection, other things will eventually leave them, and in the end only loneliness remains.

She tried her best to treat the helpless people, just to slightly fill the crack in her heart, the overflowing guilt in countless lonely nights.

It's a pity that she didn't dare to see each other.

When she was worried about doing this, she found that the other party had already died in a battle with the monster.

Because of himself, he bears the fate of the cursed witcher.

She doesn't deserve to be forgiven.

She only had one trivial luxury, and she knew in her heart that there might be a relative alive in this world, and she prayed for him day and night.

"As for the reason I want, even if you don't tell me, I can probably guess..." The witcher's voice paused, and the dark cat eyes observed the woman's face.

If he didn't finish talking today, he wasn't sure if he would have another chance in the future!

"Did you hand me over to Vesemir because of my dead father, Colin?"

Colin?

The figure of a strong man with blond hair and holding a long sword appeared in front of Vesenna.

At this moment, she felt as if struck by lightning, her emerald green pupils dilated, and her slender body approached Geralt's arms a little limply.

Geralt hugged her immediately, awkwardly, like a boy trying to protect his mother.

He recounted what Roy had said before, and gave it to Weisenna and himself as a comfort.

"Because before Colin died, he saw a vision of a white-haired witcher slaughtering monsters. The vision told him that his name was Geralt of Rivia. You love him deeply, so you think this is fate..."

"Since then, you have decided the fate of the child in your womb!"

"Demon hunters, warlocks, and druids are born superstitious about fate. Because we know the power of fate."

The woman's lips moved, this time she didn't refute again, her body relaxed.

Cheek buried in his shoulder, tears wet his leather jacket and shirt.

A weak gesture that was pierced by others.

"Fate made you leave me, and let us meet again today."

Geralt got the answer from Vesenna's face blurred by tears.

Most of the hatred and complaints that had been lurking in my heart for decades dissipated at this moment.

"I thought I'd be happy to see you sad and sad, but I'm sad with the same feeling."

"Just as I still regard you as a relative."

"If you didn't have a little warmth for me in your heart, you wouldn't save me, come to see me, and endure my harsh questioning."

"Thank you, Vesenna..." the witcher looked at the sobbing woman and said sincerely, his magnetic voice became warmer, and his tense expression relaxed, "You let me know that apart from Vesemir, brothers and Lover, there is another relative who cares about me silently."

Geralt thought of the incidents he had participated in in the past, Princess Vizima who became a bloodthirsty demon bird due to a curse, and Naviron who became a monster...

In this world, only love can resolve curses, pain, and rifts between loved ones.

A smile crept across Geralt's stiff cheeks, and a few drops of liquid slid down his cheeks and into the corners of his mouth.

"I forgive you, Vesenna."

"I forgive you!"

"Woooo..."

The suppressed cry was completely released.

The mother and son who had been separated for decades embraced each other.

The chipmunk eavesdropping in the corner flicked its tail and slipped out of the window quietly.

Chapter 21 Before leaving

It's the first day after the rain.

The colorful rainbow bridge spans over Mayenne, covering the dense buildings with a layer of dreamy and gorgeous gauze.

Mayenne's square, which had been quiet for many days, was suddenly crowded with people.

Hundreds of townspeople gathered here, with strange eyes and discussions.

On the high wooden platform used for execution, Yurga, Geralt, Mato, the druid Visenna, the bald sheriff Leete, a bloody, rotting human skeleton with maggots, and a preserved human skeleton. The complete huge wolf carcasses were lined up horizontally.

"Fathers and elders, after eight days of repeated and meticulous investigation and evidence collection, my colleagues and I have thoroughly ascertained the cause of the death of honorary ambassador Ainz." Litt said loudly, the usual depression and anxiety completely disappeared from his face, and It is full of ambition, and people are refreshed on happy occasions.

Immediately, someone below shouted with a flushed face,

"The merchants of Livia teamed up with the demon hunters to kill Ambassador Ainz!"

"And now to hang them?"

"Execution! Hang them up!"

"Light it up! Light it up!"

"Idiot, not a witch, light a fart!"

A group of people started shaking their fists and booing.

The crowd was raging, the fat businessman looked timid, but Geralt remained calm with his arms folded.

His gaze drifted to Vesenna involuntarily.

"Quiet, listen to me! The investigation went into a misunderstanding at the very beginning. In fact, Ainz was not kidnapped, he died in the mouth of this beast!" The sheriff pointed at the huge wolf corpse.

The eyes of everyone in the audience moved up immediately, gasping for air.

"Lebioda, is the end of the world coming?" A man with dense freckles between his nose exclaimed, "I have never seen a wolf of such a terrifying size in my decades of life!"

"It's because you are ignorant!" Another man with a fat belly and a shiny face said disdainfully, "There are giant beasts in the Dragon Mountain Range in the northernmost part of the mainland!"

"This guy was in the bushes behind the wooden bridge in the canyon in the north of the city, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack the passing townspeople!" Lite looked around the crowded crowd, "Ainz and Yurga were attacked by it on the way back on the day of the incident. !"

"Ainz died on the spot, and most of the corpse was eaten by it. Many of our soldiers were injured before we found the corpse and killed the beast. Yurga and the rest were scared out of their wits at that time, and turned back. You only talk nonsense when you are in the city!"

"What evidence?" shouted a man as thin as a stick, who, like most of the crowd, preferred conspiracy theories.

To die in the kidnapping and assassination of a colleague is completely different from dying in the mouth of a wild beast!

"Ainz's servant Matto is the witness! And our beloved doctor!"

Wearing a green dress, Vesenna took a step forward, nodded towards the crowd below, and smiled gently. That sweet smile instantly healed all restlessness and doubt.

"I checked and found that this corpse belonged to Ainz, and the beast killed him alive. I also found the undigested corpse from the wolf's stomach!"

"The doctor is right!" shouted a young man with a cane in the audience, with a pious expression like a believer.

"The doctor said so, it must be true!"

The townspeople agreed in unison that they had more or less been treated by Vesenna.

There were also a few skeptical voices, but they were quickly suppressed by the crowd.

"So, Geralt, Yurga, and Mato are all innocent!" the sheriff shouted at the top of his voice,

"Release them!"

"That's right! I will give them back their freedom now. I declare that their crime of kidnapping will be cancelled, and Mayenne will give them appropriate compensation!" The sheriff swaggered around on the platform.

"Fool!" taunted a boy of twelve or thirteen, "it took eight days to make a big joke!"

The crowd immediately burst into ridicule.

The magistrate's expression changed, and he restrained his anger again.

"This is not stupid! This is God's arrangement, this is the will of Eternal Flame." Lite said solemnly, "It was because of our mistake at the beginning that we found out that Ainz was hiding something when we investigated and collected evidence." Get up the secret!"

"What secret?"

"As a distinguished honorary ambassador, Ainz not only didn't cherish his feathers, but instead committed many heinous crimes with his power! First, he bought moldy and spoiled food to fool refugees!"

Everyone in the audience suddenly exclaimed.

"No wonder!" A short, fat man with a pockmarked face complained, rubbing his stomach, "Every time I receive the food from Ainz, I have diarrhea for a whole day."

"Good guy, how dare you pretend to be a refugee?!" Friends around him teased.

"You are not tempted by the food you took in vain? Don't tell me you don't!"

"Shut up! I haven't finished yet," Lite continued on the stage, "Secondly, he forced more than five women in the refugee camp to serve him! He made a promise but never gave up!"

"Bastard!" The crowd became enraged now, "Looks like maggots in the toilet, how dare you play with women just because you have some filthy money?"

"Bastard, you deserve to be bitten to death for being a rich and unkind dog!" The men's voices were full of jealousy and pleasure,

"It's cheap for him! According to me, he should be hung up and castrated in public!" A sissy said viciously.

The man with an honest face and plain clothes lamented, "God is not fair, such a serious person like me has lived to be 30 years old and hasn't held a woman's little hand!"

"That's because you are poor!" The little nobleman looked contemptuous.

The magistrate was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and the focus of public anger finally shifted to Ainz.

"Third, in the past ten years, Ainz has joined forces with criminals outside the city many times to rob and kill the merchants who signed contracts with him, get the goods for free, and kill people. There are no less than a hundred merchants who died at his hands!"

A soldier walked up to him in a few steps and handed him a large black and thick book.

"This is the account book found in his luxurious mansion. Every illegal income is recorded. The evidence is so strong that he can't deny it even after he dies!" Li Te struggled to shake at the crowd, continuing to stir people's hearts, "Know Does this mean anything? By robbing merchants, Ainz enriched himself."

"Mayena lost a lot of business, taxes, your job opportunities, and your income in a disguised way because of this—" The bald sheriff drew a beautiful semicircle with his hands downward like a conductor of a symphony orchestra,

"Reduce, reduce!"

"Dog!" A young nobleman wearing a green scarf spat hard on the ground and folded his arms in front of his chest. "Things are getting more and more expensive and income is getting lower and lower. It's all because of this dog!"

"That's right!" Leete said loudly, "Ainz is like a blood-sucking worm parasitic on everyone. As long as he is alive for a day, the living environment of the Mayenna people will get worse and worse!"

"Conscientious capitalist!" a bald man roared.

"A devil in human skin!" cried the farmer.

"Good death! Wonderful death!" A smiling little girl sitting on her father's head applauded wildly.

Everyone in the audience cursed to their heart's content.

"His death is a punishment from the gods, and it is also an opportunity for Mayena to change! Our wise and wise mayor, Mr. Scorpius, decided to make adjustments."

Lite paused, his face flushed red, and the words of encouragement from his immediate boss sounded again, and he announced emotionally, "From next month, Lord Scorpius will calm down regardless of the cost. Prices, promise that prices will never rise again, and will gradually fall back to normal levels within the next six months!"

"The mayor will post the specific measures on the bulletin board next to the city hall. You are welcome to check them at any time!"

"Master Scorpius is wise!"

"Long live the mayor!"

The people in the audience who had waited for a long time finally heard some tangible benefits and cheered immediately.

What's more, this time they also scolded an honorary ambassador who was usually aloof and arrogant.

I have to say that it greatly vented the negative emotions accumulated in my heart.

The series of events triggered by Ainz's death came to an end for now.

……

"Eugni... If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can go to the dance hall in the Novigrad business district and report my name, and I will help if I can."

"Ox... Oh no, Master Roy, I don't know how to thank you."

"Don't forget, you have also done me two favors these days!"

……

"Mato, didn't the sheriff give you some compensation? I have a suggestion, take Lilin and move away from Mayenna immediately! Only by leaving this sad place can you get rid of the past memories. Don't think about them, Try to distract yourself and think about having a baby."

"It's about your life and death, understand?"
