Glene first became aware of a soul within her body when she was around eight years old.
Eight years old.
At that young age, Glene was forcibly led by people wearing black hoods and dropped into an unknown location.
“Is this kid suitable?”
Georg’s voice, which she heard for the first time that day, was still vivid.
“Then get it ready. Call Irene.”
After Georg finished speaking, Glene was taken somewhere.
The place she was taken to was a small room that smelled awful.
The cruel hands locked the little girl in a dark room and gave her nothing to eat or drink for three days.
Glene was locked in the room alone and fainted several times before waking up again.
Glene was an orphaned girl without parents, so there was no place to ask for help.
So there was nothing the child could do but cry, curled up as much as possible.
In fact, she didn’t really remember the situation at the time.
When she woke up from passing out, strangers were looking down at her, and she was beaten as soon as she opened her mouth or cried.
Those days were repeated.
They imbued Glene’s body with unfamiliar powers.
The child struggled against it, but it was useless. They only said that Irene should be called.
And finally.
‘Damn it! Why did it look like this!’
‘That voice’ began to be heard.
They succeeded in bringing the soul of an ancient human, the soul of ‘Irene’, a powerful sorceress, into Glene’s body.
But the problem was next.
Perhaps a problem occurred when the ancient spirit entered the young girl’s body, and Irene was unable to completely take over Glene’s body.
Those wearing black hoods tried several times to extinguish Glene’s soul, but the more they tried, the more Irene’s soul, which they had worked so hard to summon, only weakened.
Therefore, they gave up trying to get Glene’s original soul out of her body.
Instead, they put prohibition on her.
There is a prohibition on disclosing this matter. The prohibition makes it easier for Irene to control Glene’s body.
They put countless prohibitions on the little girl’s body.
This was to prevent Irene’s soul from escaping from Glene’s body and disappearing.
The problem is.
Glene crouched down and bit her nails. It was her habit to bite her nails whenever she recalled bad memories.
The problem is, as the ancient human soul was forcibly brought into Glene’s body, Glene’s body began to break.
She was often blind and often had no voice at all. And even more serious.
‘Glene.’
She could feel Irene’s wriggling movements trying to take over her body.
It was for the same reason that she left Linsy’s side.
Irene constantly whispered about Linsy and ‘ceremony’ in Glene’s ear.
When Linsy is fully grown and ready, she will return what was taken from her through a ritual.
At the same time, she also whispered that when that day comes, she will grab Linsy’s neck and drag her to the land of Tamar.
So Glene left Linsy’s side.
The soul in her body went wild to devour her, but Glene’s will to protect Linsy was stronger, so she was able to leave.
She didn’t want to harm Linsy.
“Glene!”
It was Linsy who gave her the name Glene in the first place.
A life with no reason to live it.
If she had to name someone who gave her meaning in life, it would definitely be Linsy Raniero.
‘But,’
But in the end, something like this happens.
It was not her will to hide in the first place by disguising herself as a maid at the Yeckhart Mansion.
“Disguise yourself as a maid. And watch her.”
There were countless prohibitions on Glene’s body, and she couldn’t refuse Georg and Irene’s orders.
But she thought that if she could just come to her senses, she could prevent this.
No matter how much the soul was controlling her, the owner of her body was Glene.
However.
‘The fact that I’m here… It means that Irene has completed her mission to kidnap the young lady.’
She quickly got out of bed.
Her vision was blurry again. She couldn’t see straight ahead. Glene sat in her place for a moment and gently placed her palms against her eyes.
‘With these eyes… Can I go?’
She felt like she could tell where Linsy was trapped without even looking.
Because Glenne and Irene share memories.
Raniero’s head of the family room. A cage in the biggest room.
The problem was surveillance.
Humans wearing black hoods were guarding the place, and Raniero’s brainwashed knights and servants were also likely standing guard over the area where the cage was located.
A soul inside her body.
This soul could have gone there.
Humans knew how to clearly distinguish between Irene and Glene. They said that they can be distinguished even if they use the same face and the same tone of voice.
Because of this, she might get stuck on her way to the cage. However,
‘I have to save her.’
Glene stood up.
Fifteen days will not be long.
The day of the full moon.
It was clear that the guys would use Linsy’s life as a ‘passage’ to open the way.
She had to save her before that.

“It’s because I made you so kind.”
Knut showed me many things.
Humans who get along well with beastmen. Humans who ignore and look down on beastmen. And…
The humans finally slaughtered most of the beastmen and tried to dominate the remaining beastmen using the power of ‘magic’.
The behavior of humans was so cruel that it was difficult to open one’s eyes and see.
And there was a divine beast who was close to those humans and regarded them very kindly.
Feather burning red, green eyes resembling the green of the earth. Pieces of blessings pouring down from all over the body as if to prove that they are animals loved by God.
I recognized him at a glance.
That was a phoenix.
The Phoenix treated humans with kindness and granted powers that only they could use to those who didn’t receive God’s blessing.
“I will give you the greatest power comparable to the blessings of God.”
A special power that can be used by managing the mana within the body. Magic.
Humans have made tremendous progress since becoming able to use magic.
Civilization developed and life became richer. However, there was something the Phoenix overlooked.
That was human greed.
“I want to know the future. Can’t we predict the future like the blessings of the sheep clan?”
“The blessing of dealing with shadows. It’s so strong that it can’t even be compared to magic. I want that power!”
“…I want to take away the blessings of the beastmen. Anyway, they are lower than us, right? They were originally a power for us…”
Humans wanted better power, better and more power, stronger and greater power, power comparable to God.
So they.
“…!!!”
They captured the phoenix.
I took a step back, surprised by what was happening before my eyes.
But God Knut brought me to that scene with a gentle and firm hand.
The phoenix struggled as it was caught by the humans it once believed to be friends.
“You, how could you!”
The phoenix cried out in a voice full of pain.
And the moment I heard the voice of the phoenix, I realized.
“….!”
Why is God showing me all this?
[But at the same time, I knew it was something you had to go through.]
God’s voice once again reached my ears. As if fascinated, I took a step closer and looked at the phoenix beyond the past.
The Phoenix writhed in pain in the magic circle formed by the humans, and then.
Pong—!
She changed her appearance into a woman who looked exactly like me.
Her hair was a little longer and she was wearing clothes that looked a little older than what I was wearing.
“Stop it now, please!”
It was definitely me.
The voice was clearly mine, and the face contorted in pain was clearly mine.
Every time she screamed, I had to twist my face in pain, one side of my chest throbbing.
“You can’t do that. Linsy, my friend. I want more.”
Then, a familiar voice was heard.
I turned my head around at the same time that the woman from the past was crying with her hair disheveled.
And where the gaze landed.
‘…Georg.’
He was standing.
“Linsy, I want more. More than what was given to those lowly beasts.”
Just like I remember.
Glene first became aware of a soul within her body when she was around eight years old.
