The wicked woman has returned from the grave.
Valentine de Blumir, who became the tyrant’s concubine for her lover.
She devoted everything to her lover, who sought to overthrow the tyrant.
But the result of her devotion was a cold betrayal.
“Did you, the tyrant’s concubine, dare to hope to stand by the new emperor?”
What remained after her miserable death was only the insult and stigma of being a notorious villainess.
Before her soul, which cried out in agony, a demon appeared.
The demon asked in a sweet voice.
– Do you desire revenge?
Ah, oh God.
May all sinners in the world
be saved only by death.
She willingly took the demon’s hand.
To drag those who had thrown her into the mire down to hell.
