Chapter 259
"The Hero Family"
Within the Hero Family, there are four individuals who are allowed to bear the title of Hero.
They are the central figures of the Hero Family... the Four Great Heroes.
1. Hero Roland
2. Hero Martin
3. Hero Edgar
4. Hero Alter (deceased)
While they are indeed exceptional, it is not solely due to genetics.
Rather, they are simply exceptional individuals born among those who carry the blood of a Hero.
Beneath them, there are many other members of the Hero Family.
Most of them are children who were born to individuals with the blood of a Hero by paying a hefty price for their seed, desiring to have the "bloodline" of a Hero in their own family.
It's not as if the so-called "Hero Zects" had superior bloodlines.
Even Lida and Maria had ordinary parents. The job of a Hero was bestowed upon them by the goddess Ishtar.
Therefore, the value of "blood" or lineage is actually meaningless.
Zect's father is an ordinary merchant, and his mother, Shizuko, is a skilled adventurer...
But the name "Hero" has captivated this world.
Zect, who became the king of Kohane, made great efforts, thinking of his friend who had gone to the divine realm.
Even someone like Lida, who changed so much, worked hard and revitalized the country.
Perhaps the next generation, having witnessed the efforts of Zect and others, grew up to be exceptional children.
However... starting from the following generation, things gradually changed, and now they have revived the "Hero Protection Law" and act as they please.
Although their mentality is quite strange... they are still Heroes who adhere to justice.
But their sense of justice... is warped.
They cannot understand this twisted world, and as naive Heroes, they wield a strange sense of justice that no one can stop.
This is the hidden reality of the current world.

Roland's POV
"Rosalia was auctioned off..."
"Yes, Roland-sama..."
How absurd... that guy was the festering sore of this country.
So, as a lesson to others... we subjected her to all sorts of torture and turned her into a living doll from the forbidden books found in the Holy Church, putting her up for auction.
'It's inhumane.'
Yes, the Orcman Clan complained, so we temporarily suspended the slave trade licenses.
The Orcman Clan is a legendary clan that had a close relationship with "Hero Ceres" and "Hero Zect," so we couldn't expel them from the country or revoke their slave trade licenses. However, we should have driven them out of this city.
"Did the Orcman Clan interfere in some way?"
"No, we thoroughly eliminated them. That slave market was just a name-only Orcman Clan market; someone else was running it."
"But still, Rosalia was auctioned off? No one should be interested in buying a woman who has been disfigured and had her breasts ripped off... You were the ones who said that, right?"
"Well..."
There's no point in blaming them... no ordinary person would willingly buy a woman whose face is burned and whose breasts have been mutilated...
"Well, I understand what you're trying to say... no normal person would buy such a repulsive individual... but what about the overseers? Surely they were there to watch? Don't tell me they weren't present... that's impossible, right?"
"We had them there! However... they've all gone missing... maybe they betrayed us."
No, those people were useless pawns... but still, they were individuals who respected the title of "Hero."
I can't believe they would betray us.
But... it's infuriating.
We lost Alter in order to give a "tragic fate" and "death" to Fluer, a dangerous woman who would bring shame upon this world.
She became Alter's wife because of her good looks, deceiving him. But when he discovered her true identity, Alter intended to dispose of her and broke her.
By breaking her to that extent, even if a "saint" were to appear in this world, she couldn't be healed.
The ultimate spell, "Perfect Heal," can only be used by those with exceptional talent among the Saint.
However, Fluer realized this and drank poison before she could be tortured and destroyed... and Alter died.
For the sake of one woman, one of the our comradesm who was a Hero, died.
And he went to such lengths to destroy one... who would have died a wretched and emaciated death.
And now, it's Rosalia.
If that wretched woman dies... it would mean the death of the "two villainous noble daughters" who have been manipulating this world from behind the scenes.
'Even death is too mild.'
That's why she was supposed to taste the hell of this world and meet a miserable end.
But someone has bid for her.
It's frustrating... but there's nothing we can do.
"Well, what's done is done... Rosalia's mind has been shattered... she's like a doll... she won't have a decent ending anyway."
"That's for sure... huh?"
I signal to my other subordinates, and I have this guy restrained.
"But I don't need subordinates who fail. Dispose of him."
""Yes, sir.""
"Please, help me..."
"I am Hero Roland... the executor of justice! Those who can't even assist properly have no worth in living! Rest in peace forever, you've worked hard..."
"No... I don't want to, I don't want toooo!"
Those who are useless have no worth in living.
I am the purveyor of evil, the embodiment of absolute justice... Hero Roland. I have no use for those who fail in assisting me.
