System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1069

Count Lesen's daughter, Elaine Lesen, had been kneeling for a whole day in front of the mansion.

The rumor about her had spread to the entire city. Obviously, people wanted to see her figure.

But when people saw her state, they somehow stopped in their tracks. Elaine had yet to move for a whole day.

"Isn't a noble's daughter always having their belly full?"

"I have been watching her for a while. I don't think she has moved, let alone eaten or drunk anything."

"Is that so? Even though the temperature has become a bit chilly, during the day, it's still quite hot. Are you sure she hasn't done anything?"

"Yeah. It's real."

"You two… Are you trying to pity her? She is the one responsible for our recent suffering."

"Right? The Marquis has announced her punishment as well."

"…"

The people continued watching her. Those who had work continued their job like normal.

Elaine remained silent the whole time. It was hot. She felt like she was being dried like a vegetable. In addition, she was exhausted, hungry, and thirsty.

During the night, the chilling wind brushed her skin. Because she didn't get any sleep, the night felt so long. It might be the longest night she has ever experienced.

She was convinced that she would be dying sooner or later. However, she didn't intend to stop because the survival of her family depended on her performance.

Still, her headache was quite severe, due to the kid throwing a rock at her head.

However, her trial had yet to end.

On the second day, the rain was pouring down pretty heavily.

Elaine was completely drenched. Her entire body were aching, especially her back, her knees, and her hands.

It was freezing cold. Elaine was shivering the whole time. In addition to the fatigue from the previous day, she almost collapsed.

"Ha… Ha…" Elaine breathed heavily. Even though her body had been strengthened by the energy from the demon crystal, it was extremely hard to endure two harsh days without food and drink.

Due to her wet clothes, the chilling wind ended up penetrating her skin and seeping into her bones.

Even when the sun was up, she kept shivering. Fortunately, there was no rain the next day. The sun naturally dried her clothes, but it was still bad for her body. Her body temperature felt like it was increasing.

There was only one thought in her mind at this point. She would die sooner or later. According to her prediction, she could only last for another two or three days before she died.

She just thought this was just torture before her execution and resigned to her fate. At the very least, her 'salvation' would come in a few days.

On the third day, the people were quite shocked to see Elaine remain on her spot.
