Chapter 231 - Chapter 120 Part 1 It is time for the chaos.

The members of the Black Butterfly, also known as the House of the Cursed Children, are in the Baska Kingdom. But ...why?

(Crash!)

Civilian: "aaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhh…"

(Crash!)

(Kaboom!!)

(Patch!) (Patch)

The Skeleton: "Oh dear….it seems like it is too late.."

Zantanel: "Hmm?...Look at that...you are here too.."

The Skeleton: "Miss Zantanel ...don't you think this is going to attract a lot of attention?"

Zantanel: "Hmmm."

The police appeared.

Police Officer: "Hands up…"

Zantanel: "hmm?..."

She raised her hands, but when he tried to arrest her, he touched her.

Police Officer: "urk..arghh…..aaaarghhhh.."

He fell to the ground dead and turned to ash.

Zantanel: "Oh.."

The Skeleton: "ugh.."

Police Officer: "Ugh...what is going on here..shoot."

They shot at her..she wiped them out…

Zantanel: "Hahhh.."

She stretched out her hand...a large amount of ash gathered and pierced their bodies.

Police Officer: "urk…."

They fell to the ground dead.

Zantanel: "….As for you…..I will count to three….if you are not gone..I will kill you...1…"

The Skeleton: "Ugh."

Zantanel: "2...3."

(Wushh)

Zantanel: "….Good boy…."

(A few minutes later)

Rosalie: "The Black Butterfly is back...and this time they are also very strong, they aren't hiding anymore...."

Sophie: "And what do we do now?"

Fiona: "Are we just supposed to stand here?"

Rosalie: "No, don't worry….The Dark Umbrella wants us to head out….Marcus is even coming to help, since he was luckily still in Villicia it won't take that long….Anyway…..for now we have to wait for him."

Sophie: "What..about Daisy…...has she officially given up the Crow title now?"

Rosalie: "….No ...but soon…..by the way...Sophie..happy birthday."

Sophie: "huh?"

Rosalie: "They chose you."

Sophie: "ughh…"

Fiona: "Hmm?…."

Sophie: "hmm."

Rosalie: "What's wrong, you don't seem happy about it."

Sophie: "Of course not...they can't just throw me out and bring me back whenever they want and then maybe throw me out again…"

Rosalie: "Come on Sophie...I don't want Dante to become one of the Crows…"

Sophie: "ugh…."

Fiona: "But I can understand Sophie…"

Sophie: "mm."

Rosalie: "What do you mean?"

Fiona: "I mean it should be fair. There is no proof that they won't do the same thing to her...oh by the way….If they do that….then this time I will really draw my weapon."

Rosalie: "hmmm…...don't worry, they changed the rule."

Fiona: "Huh?"

Sophie: "How?"

Rosalie: "Well, from now on the Crows are also allowed to vote….so ...who becomes a Crow and who doesn't….That's why I wanted to talk to you now Fiona. I asked Marcus, there is only you and Colleta left….What do you think?"

Fiona: "Yes…"

Sophie: "ugh…."

Fiona: "I think Sophie should become a Crow..."

Sophie: "...Are...you sure..that I am the right one?"

Rosalie: "Sophie...you should have more confidence in yourself.."

Sophie: "hmm."

Fiona: "What now?"

Rosalie: "I will tell the Dark Umbrella that most of the Crows agreed that Sophie..will become a Crow again…..From now on, by the way, a Crow will be removed through a vote by you and the higher ups, a kind of legal process….a court."

Sophie: "I understand."

Rosalie: "And quite a few things are actually going to change ...Minerv and Eisenheim ..both disliked Ms. Valentine..Minerv said she was too generous and Eisenheim believes a woman shouldn't have power….well, it doesn't matter...Minerv doesn't like Eisenheim either…. "

Sophie: "Okay….but is that really alright..both of them are now the leaders of the Dark Umbrella."

Rosalie: "Hahh....What do you think is the reason I am worried...Minerv isn't an evil person...but she definitely isn't a good person either….I mean..the woman is known for drinking a lot and having a lot of relationships...someone like that wants to tell us what is right and wrong?….and Eisenheim is a coward....anyway….the Dark Umbrella's order is that we have to go to the town hall where Zantanel appeared."

Sophie: "But why so directly?.."

Fiona: "hmmm..yes...Zantanel is ...not the type to attack directly...not like that.."

Rosalie: "That doesn't matter….So..let's go."

Sophie: "You're coming too….But….that's dangerous…"

Rosalie: "Huh?...hehe..are you worried about me."

Sophie: "Of course I am."

Rosalie: "(aww..sweet..my little sister is afraid something will happen to me…..cute)...(Cough)….Don't worry little sister...I'm just doing my job.."

Sophie: "mm."

Fiona: "Why do you want to come along anyway, you could simply stay here like Meliodas."

Rosalie: "Well...I could. But I don't think it's nice when you guys do something while I sit here safely."

She took her pistol and put it in her pants.

Sophie: "Okay..but put the pistol in properly….like this..it's the other way around."

Rosalie: "Oops."

She turned it around.

Rosalie: "Hahh..but honestly, I haven't shot anyone in a long time...so my recommendation….if I want to shoot...don't be surprised if you get a bullet."

Fiona: "If you shoot me...do I get compensation?"

Rosalie: "Hmm..actually yes….If a Dark Umbrella member accidentally injures another one….there is compensation of 20,000 Coil."

Fiona: "Then I hope you shoot me in the leg three times..so I get 60,000 Coil…."

Sophie: "Wooww…...I want that too...Rosalie, shoot as much as you want."

Rosalie: "(Sweat)…..huh?"

Sophie: "Our salary is low."

Fiona: "Yeah...8,000 Coil."

Rosalie: "ohh….Uh..hehe...not anymore."

Sophie: "ughh..what now."

Fiona: "Did it get raised."

Sophie: "owwww."

They held hands.

Sophie: "yes.!"

Fiona: "Finally."

Sophie: "hehe."

Rosalie: "...You actually only get 7,200 a month now."

(Silence)…

Sophie: "whaaaaaaaaaat!"

Fiona: "Are you kidding me!?"

Rosalie: "..no..unfortunately not....You get a little less now."

Sophie: "Tsss....great...We bust our asses for nothing."

Fiona: "Hmph…..That means now we get even less money than ...people who have much safer jobs than us...Cool….Fantastic….I already miss Valentine…"

Rosalie: "It's only temporary, you two."

Sophie: "Yes..Ms. Valentine said that too…..four years ago..and look...instead we get less salary..Wait..if we ask for more money….Do we get less?..hmm."

Fiona: "ohh...we can just trick them and say we want less money..maybe these people are just so mean that they like doing the opposite of what we want."

Sophie: "Ohhh..yes...I thought that too…."

Rosalie: "Hello, you two..that's enough, come on…"

Sophie: "Oh.right."

Fiona: "Oops."

Sophie: "..(Cough)….Sorry."

Rosalie: "Hah my goodness."

She went ahead and they followed her.

Rosalie: "Siegfried ..Rosika and Violet...You come with me..Lina.! You, Oliver and Suspenders check the area around the town hall .."

Lina: "Yes, ma'am."

(Meanwhile)

Ms. Valentine: "mmmm."

Meliodas: "Here, you're pregnant, you have to eat more."

Ms. Valentine: "Thank you, darling.."

Meliodas: "Sure....hmmm."

Ms. Valentine: "....I miss….Sophie, Fiona, Marcus and the others.."

Meliodas: "Hmmm...well….Minerv is with them now."

Ms. Valentine: "Minerv?….hahh..that woman confuses me…."

Meliodas: "Me too....I honestly don't like her."

Ms. Valentine: "I like her….she is smart….and also…..very ..careful but also…...strict....she controlled the Dark Umbrella's military. Under her, so many people were executed, that's why they also gave her the name Bloody Mary ....Anyone she considered a danger to the people..she killed them...anyone who betrayed the Dark Umbrella, she killed them…"

Meliodas: "I heard she often went too far."

Ms. Valentine: "yes...she once had an entire family executed because she thought that a member of the Dark Umbrella might have told his family something too….But she spared the children at least…"

Meliodas: "Yes...only they had to see their parents covered in blood.."

Ms. Valentine: "Yes….but Minerv also saved a lot of people ….in Budapest she managed to stop the war….and brought order. The refugees were treated well ...I remember Sophie and Fiona were there too and even took care of the poor refugees…. "

Meliodas: "Yes..I remember….that was at the beginning of the war….Fiona started crying because she couldn't bear seeing so many people suffering..and Sophie started hating the nobles even more than before…"

Ms. Valentine: "Well...understandable ...after all, 20 percent of the population of Budapest was killed in the war….more than 2 million people.."

Meliodas: "mhm...What I like though is..that Minerv executed the nobles who started this war….Even some politicians.."

Ms. Valentine: "Yes...she is harsh…..I remember….I asked her...are you sure this will be good for your reputation with governments..She said to me…..Those..who start wars..know exactly that nothing will happen to them...And only the middle or poor class will suffer...And lose their children or parents...That's why I want to show here..that I..think differently...Whoever starts a war without reason….should die….By my hands...."

Meliodas: "Wait...she executed them herself.?"

Ms. Valentine: "yes….She even forced their children, meaning the children of the rich, to watch it….she said...this way they will know how the poor children of the soldiers felt seeing their parents dead....Of course that's brutal..but I really liked that about her…"

(Silence).

Meliodas: "Well….but ...when it comes to relationships..she is wild."

(Silence)…

Ms. Valentine: "(Sweat)….It's mean to talk about your ex like that. For this, you're going to make me some juice now."

Meliodas: "Sure.."

Ms. Valentine: "What was she like hmm?"

Meliodas: "Hmph….she is wilder than you think…"

He went back inside.

Ms. Valentine: "hehehe.."

(Meanwhile)

Minerv: "..hmmm…"

(The door opens)..

Minerv: "Huh?"

Dante: "...Ms. Minerv…..Why is Sophie becoming a Crow again and not me?"

Minerv: "hahhh.....that's why."

She threw documents onto the floor.

Minerv: "You thought I wouldn't notice….5 female people, you would have let them sleep with sleeping pills and done horrible things to them….."

Dante: "ugh."

Minerv: "….You can go….go to your family….better yet, to your wife...and your child…"

Dante: "ugh..ghhh."

He left the building…

Minerv: "hmmm….Is the bomb ready?"

Butler: "yes…."

Minerv: "Good..but wait until the daughter leaves the house and is at school…."

Butler: "Yes, ma'am."

(A few minutes later)

Dante: "Hahhh."

Dante's Wife: "What's wrong, Dante."

Dante: "Nothing..."

He sat down.

Dante: "Hmm..is that a package?"

Dante's Wife: "yes.."

Dante: "I...didn't order anything:"

Dante's Wife: "..I ...didn't either."

Dante: "hmm."

He opened it..it was..a bomb.

Dante: "oh…."

(Kaboommm!!!!!!)

(Splach!)

He lay dead on the floor….Half of his face was destroyed….next to him was his wife….Who...was...still...alive.

Neighbor: "Oh no..are you okay..huhh..ughh.."

Dante's Wife: "..(Silence)…"

Her hands fell to the floor…

(Splach)

Dante's Wife: "I..have to pick up my daughter...…..Wenny…"

Neighbor: "ugh.."

She fell down the stairs ..dead..

(Meanwhile)

Minerv: "And?"

Butler: "Done."

Minerv: "Good….Dante was a danger to us and destroyed our image….What about the women he abused?"

Butler: "...We weren't sure whether we should kill them or give them money."

Minerv: "Kill?..don't be cowards, they have suffered enough..we only kill perpetrators, not victims….Give them money...but tell them they must not say anything....Watch them...if they become a danger...you can kill them..but only if they become a danger…"

Butler: "Well….Some are in the psychiatric hospital.."

Minerv: "Pay for their time there..no matter how much….Dante was a member of the Dark Umbrella, we are responsible…"

Butler: "Yes, ma'am."

He left the room.

Minerv: "hmmm...(Lick).."

She licked with her tongue..

Minerv: "….Hehe."

(Meanwhile)

Rosalie: "ughh…..They destroyed so much."

Sophie: "huh."

Fiona: "Hmmm.."

Sophie: "So many dead police officers….The..poor people."

Rosalie: "Damn, we told them not to interfere...hahhh….whatever….Let's look around ..she must be nearby or her people."

They continued walking…

Sophie: "hmmm..what ...does she have in mind..why this way."

Fiona: "Something is wrong….Hmm?.."

Sophie: "Hmm?...what is that."

One of the corpses looked as if..spiders were coming out of its mouth….

Sophie: "ghh."

Fiona: "hmm."

She pulled it out.

Sophie: "I thought you were ...afraid of insects."

Fiona: "Well ..spiders aren't insects.."

Sophie: "oh….right."

(patch!)

Sophie: "huh…"

Fiona: "hmm?"

Sophie: "You here…..Jack."

Jack: "pssst…."

Jack: "Long time no see."

Sophie: "...ughh."

Fiona: "...Hahh.."

Jack: "hmmm..hehe."

She hugged Sophie and Fiona.

Jack Hunter ...The girl who was forced by her parents to behave like a boy and because of that they even tore her throat to force a device into it that changed her voice….Even though she is a member of the Black Butterfly….she likes both Sophie and Fiona because both of them were kind to her."

Sophie: "Look at you, you're doing well.."

Jack: "Yes...you too."

Sophie: "Hmm."

Fiona: "Hmm."

Jack: "What's wrong?….Why are you looking at me like that."

Sophie: "Sorry Jack..but you're still one of them."

Fiona: "You should leave before Rosalie and the others see you.."

Jack: "Ugh.."

Sophie: "Please Jack….Go...we don't want to hurt you...there are new rules and..I fear Minerv is planning something with people like you."

Fiona: "So go..quickly okay?"

Jack: "ugh...okay….I just wanted to see you."

Sophie: "That's sweet of you, really….but now isn't the right time for that...okay?"

Jack: "Okay."

She hurried away and left.

Sophie: "Oh dear..I feel sorry for her..she is a good girl."

Fiona: "Yes."

Sophie: "I think we should keep looking."
