Otto's remarks only elicited a shrill laugh from Juliet.
The laughter was sharp and piercing, like fingernails scraping against glass, sending chills down your spine.
"rest in peace?"
Her voice was filled with resentment and anger.
He killed me!
Bury me here like trash, and lock my body tightly with chains engraved with runes!
Now you actually want me to rest in peace?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
As her ferocious laughter rang out, the surrounding temperature suddenly plummeted.
A thin layer of white frost quickly formed on the ground, and even the air seemed to freeze.
Countless translucent, pale hands emerged from the soil, their nails sharp and long, reaching out to grab Otto.
Those large hands were covered with blue veins and blood vessels, making them look incredibly eerie.
Otto reacted quickly, taking a step back to avoid the grasping of those pale, large hands.
He raised his right hand, and a warm flame ignited in his palm. It was the spell he had acquired when he took up his post as a Fire Seed Guardian: the Soul Purifying Fire Seed.
The Soul-Purifying Flame is a power specifically used to purify evil and malevolent things.
Its purifying properties have a natural restraining effect on ghosts and monsters.
The moment those pale, large hands touched the flames, they made a sound like roasting meat, emitted billowing white smoke, and then quickly retreated back into the soil.
Juliet saw the Soul-Purifying Flame, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes, but more so, anger.
She suddenly took a step forward, and the chains rattled loudly.
"Do you think you can defeat me with this little flame?"
I will make everyone who killed me pay the price!
I will make Romeo pay with his life!
Looking at Juliet before him, Otto already knew the answer.
Things were indeed not as simple as the cemetery staff had described.
This woman named Juliet did not die of illness at all.
According to her, she was probably murdered.
After killing her, the murderer chained her body with runes to prevent her from becoming a ghost and seeking revenge, thus imprisoning her in this cemetery.
The key, it seems, is that Mr. Romeo.
Why would he want to kill you?
Otto asked softly.
He didn't want to purify Juliet directly and roughly.
After all, she was an acquaintance of Phylliss, and judging from her tone, she was also a victim.
He hopes to resolve this peacefully if possible.
Juliet stopped laughing when she heard Otto's question.
She stood there, silent for a long time.
Then, her voice echoed in Otto's mind again, this time filled with endless sorrow and desolation.
Why?
Yes, I'd like to know why too.
Juliet slowly began to tell her story.
Her voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself, or as if she were confiding to Otto the pain and resentment that had been building up for half a month.
It turns out that Juliet was not a native of Oaktown.
She was born into a wealthy merchant family in the Southern Territory and lived a life of luxury from a young age.
Her father was a well-known silk merchant in the South, and his family owned several large shops.
As the only daughter in her family, Juliette was pampered by her parents from a young age.
She met Romeo three years ago at a local dinner party.
Romeo was born into a prominent noble family in the South.
His family wielded considerable power in the Southern Territory; they were not merely a declining family with a noble title.
Romeo was the second son in the family. He was handsome, eloquent, and very popular with girls.
The two fell in love at first sight at the dinner party.
Romeo pursued Juliet ardently.
He would send Juliet flowers every day, write her love letters, and take her to all sorts of fun places.
Young Juliet had never experienced anything like this before and quickly fell in love.
They secretly dated for six months.
Romeo promised Juliet that he would propose to her parents and marry her.
Juliet eagerly awaited that day.
However, bad news soon arrived.
Romeo told Juliet that his father strongly opposed the marriage.
Because Juliet's family were merchants, and in the eyes of the nobility, merchants had a very low social status.
Romeo's father hoped that he would marry a noblewoman of equal social standing to consolidate the family's position.
Juliet was heartbroken when she heard the news.
She thought their love had come to an end.
But at that moment, Romeo made a bold suggestion to her.
Let's elope.
Romeo held Juliet's hand and said with sincere eyes.
"As long as we have love, that's enough, isn't it?"
We can go somewhere where nobody knows us and start a new life.
I will work hard to give you a happy life.
Young Juliet was easily swayed by her lover's sweet words.
Blinded by love, she agreed to Romeo's proposal without hesitation.
She secretly took all her savings and some precious jewelry from home and put them all into a spatial pocket.
Then, one night, she left home with Romeo and left the Southern Reach where she had lived for more than a decade.
Romeo and Juliet traveled north for a full month before finally arriving at the far north.
He told Juliet that the North was the frontier of the Kingdom of Thorne, a place with only two large city-states but full of endless possibilities.
Moreover, the population here is quite diverse, so even if her family comes looking for them, they might not be able to find them.
Juliet was convinced of this.
She thought she had finally found someone she could entrust her life to, and that they would live happily ever after here.
Romeoia forged their household registration documents and brought them to Oak Town, near Silverfrost City.
Here, Juliet used the money she brought with her to open a tailor shop.
Her skills were excellent, and she quickly became famous in the town.
The tailor shop's business was getting better and better, and their lives gradually stabilized.
Juliet gave the rest of the money to Romeo for safekeeping.
She told Romeo that if they used the money sparingly, it would be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
She thought their happy life would continue like this forever.
However, she never expected that all of this was just a lie carefully woven by Romeo.
Two weeks ago was Juliet's twentieth birthday.
Romeo said he wanted to surprise her, so he bought her a bottle of expensive red wine and cooked a table full of her favorite dishes.
That night, they drank a lot of alcohol.
Juliet was overjoyed, feeling that she was living the life she had always wanted.
However, not long after, she felt a strong wave of dizziness.
She realized the wine had been spiked, but it was too late.
