Novel Bin
Chapter 439
"The one who commits a crime must be punished."
A simple axiom, so obvious that doubting it seems absurd. It is regarded as a sacred act of justice, carried out according to the natural order of things.
But at its core, crime is an action. Punishment is an evaluation of that action. The phrase "this should never have happened" contradicts itself the moment the event becomes reality.
The same applies to vampires. It is crucial to distinguish between two things:
That which cannot happen and that which should not have happened.
"Let me ask one question. What was the defendant’s motive?"
Ain responded immediately:
"Revenge for my mother, Lily. As she herself stated."
"Revenge? Interesting. Do you remember the feeling of the wind when you were human, Harpy?"
I naturally addressed her by a name no one had ever taught me. Logically, that should have been impossible, but Harpiness assumed I had simply heard it somewhere before. A reasonable conclusion—who would ever suspect that I could read minds?
