Seeing the blood reminds her of that man red blood eyes. Oh, how in love she was, how foolish was she to love the murderer of her family.

“Today we gathered to finally sentenced the witch of Baltazar family, Yeonwoo Baltazar” the executioner says.
“Oh, Witch of Baltazar, do you have any last word?”

“How dirty of you to see me like this sister. You who sentenced our family to death due to your greed and you the bastard prince that used our family standing to ascend the crown. Do both of you not know shame. I pray that one day I can burn and drink your blood in triumph. I curse this country and royal family that you shall not know peace”
The whole place went silence only the crown prince look at her with so much anger, that he turns red,
“Execute the Witch, may the soul of the people she kills rest in peace”

A chirping sound was heard and Yeonwoo opens her eyes abruptly. When she opens her eyes, she can see the bedroom that she has always grown-up in. Her rooms open and comes in grandma Min smiling her. That's not possible because she was dead trying to protect her from the incoming soldiers.
“Is that you grandma?” she asked in disbelieve. “Aren’t I’m dead? she questioned herself.
