TADQ 22

After her mother passed away, even her younger sister, Irene, took her own life. Ludiana believed it was all the fault of her biological father, Jonas. At Irene’s funeral, Ludiana stabbed Jonas to death and was dragged away as a parricide. On her way, she encountered Kalos. Like her, Kalos had been abandoned by his biological father, but he was living a completely different life. Would things have turned out differently if I had carved out my own path in life…? “The sentence for the parricide criminal Ludiana will now be carried out.” With a faint smile, Ludiana closed her eyes—and returned to the time before her mother’s death. I won’t sit back and be foolish anymore. *** Ludiana’s mother, Roselin, looked at her with a smile, as if she had made up her mind. “…Yes. You’re right. Even if we quietly live in the countryside, we might be happier than we are now.” “Of course.” Following her mother’s lead, Ludiana gave a gentle smile as well. No, Mother. I have no intention of living quietly.
