Why, why, why, why!?

Roe Scheherazade’s mindless screams, the pent-up anger that burst out, became an echo that continually struck everyone’s ears.

She clenched her fists tight and panted for a while.

When she eventually raised her head…

“…I know.”

She looked down at Seol Jihu and smiled faintly.

“Of course, I know. I’m acting like a child who’s throwing a tantrum.”

“Yes, you did not do anything wrong, Representative Seol.”

“You just did not choose me.”

When Seol Jihu met Roe Scheherazade that night, she certainly gave him a hint. Though she did not say anything directly, she asked why he had left Sinyoung standing.

Would he have done things differently if he knew Roe Scheherazade’s story? Even after the contract was signed?

Seol Jihu couldn’t come up with an answer easily.

“It’s not like I could have said, ‘I will cooperate with the Parasites if you don’t destroy Sinyoung!’”

Despairing, and despairing again.

“Ah, what a shitty life.”

“Why do I have to live like this?”

“Because this is the world I live in?”

“Ah, is that it? I see. Then…”

At the end of her never-ending despair…

“This damned world, to hell with it.”

Only hatred remained.

“Fufu, fufufu….”

Roe Scheherazade chuckled silently.

After rambling on like a crazy person, her expression turned fierce like a wicked demoness that would not exist again under Heaven.

“Today, I’m finally one step closer to achieving my dream.”

With an unburdened face, she spoke joyfully.
