CHAPTER 44

It was windy, but the scenery was beautiful. They were on a high cliff, appreciating the natural beauty of hills. Other couples also picked up spots for recreation.

"It's so windy !", Lucia said.

"It sure is. But the scenery is beautiful here. Maybe we should buy a house on the hill, where it is a little less windy.", Claw said.

They were planning to marry next month. So they were deciding where they would build their home. Lucia and Claw had an intimate relationship. Lucia worked as a nurse and Claw worked as a chemist. They had met first in the hospital.

The wind blew fast. Claw was walking right on the edge of the cliff. They were talking about their own stuff, when suddenly on a heated discussion, Lucia lightly pushed Claw, and he fell.

"Aahh!", he screamed when he went down. Lucia was shocked. She started crying. Her heart was in her throat. Then suddenly, a voice boomed in her head.

"Do you want to save that man ?", he asked.

Lucia was in despair. She did not know what the right thing was to do. She was very desperate, so she replied back with "Yes ! Of course !"

"Are you ready to pay the price ?", the voice asked.

"Yes, I will pay for it !", she screamed and answered. The people around were also stunned. They had never seen death. Then suddenly, the saw Lucia jump down.

Was she mad, some people thought. Was it such an undying love that she had to sacrifice herself. Some people were shocked and screamed. But they didn't know that Lucia had actually reached the place where Claw was.

Claw was just barely breathing. He had blood all over his body. Fortunately, the inertia of his fall had been absorbed by the branches of trees and had not died instantly. His intestines were flowing out, and she could clearly see the ribcage and also saw bones sticking out of his body. He was beyond repair.

But the new power which the voice gave her had given her ability to instantly heal anyone. But the price she paid was she could not look at the human being the same way again and could not kill anyone.

She saved him. But Claw called her a monster and ran away from her. Lucia had somewhat expected this to happen. From this day, she had not had any love interests, and lived alone. Until the All mighty came to her and asked her to join his company to create a new empire.

"Well that was a heartwarming story. I see the Lust here", Arata said.

"Yup, that was all about me. Now, Wrath and Envy, its your turn", Lust said looking at the brother - sister pair.

Arata and Rachel had already shared their journey till now to them. They had set out from the Spade kingdom on a railway, which was expected to reach the clover kingdom in 12 more hours. So they chatted about stuff and their stories.

"Well, my story, umm.. It goes like this", Wrath started speaking.

It was actually very simple. Wrath was called Woll before. He had his best friend named Rohan. They both were college students but scored the lowest. They used to fuck around a lot and did many adventures.

One time, while on a bike adventure, they oversped and were caught by the police. The police took them to the police station to pay the fine. But while going, the police car was attacked by an infamous gang in their neighbourhood.
