“What is this?”

The victims’ tombs were a place like a national park that any citizen of the estate could enter, and the residents of the estate who looked at Marian with her hands clasped on her knees in front of the tombs said that the princess must be a merciful saint, so she lightly touched her cheek and hurried away. moved.

My face still feels hot.

“Thank you, thank you, Princess.”

“My husband always said that the princess is a very merciful person.”

Of course, I know that the nobles of this world do not send condolences like this to dead commoners.

However, with just my actions, the faces of the bereaved families looked much more at ease.

Then maybe that’s it?

“Ah, lady.”

As the territory residents got closer, the knights tried to stop them.

“ㅡIt’s okay.”

Marian raised her hand.

They kept a certain distance as if they had no intention of blocking her path, so Marian walked slowly while looking at the territory residents lined up on her left and right.

However, I had no choice but to stop when I immediately felt a hand.

It was a girl. He could have been 4 years old.

“Angel… . Did my dad go to heaven?”

“I’m sorry princess!”

The child’s mother was horrified when she saw her daughter’s hand daring to grab the hem of the princess’s skirt.

She was from the Bondita estate. Even though more than 5 years have passed, I couldn’t forget it.

She had seen with her own eyes a boy who was killed on the spot for blocking a nobleman’s path.

‘The princess is different from other nobles, so it’s not easy to meet her, but if you happen to meet her, she even greets you with her eyes. How cute and pretty she is. I hope my daughter grows up to be as good as the princess.’

The husband who said that eventually died.

‘Wouldn’t it have been a mistake to say hello in the first place?’

This estate is good to live in, and the young lady is different. Even though all the residents are speaking together, only bad thoughts come to mind, perhaps because her husband is dead.

It was the moment when she knelt down and asked for forgiveness.

Marian smiled and bent her knees.

‘How did I look like an angel wearing a black dress?’

The child’s eyes turned to my hair.

I don’t know what to do in times like this.

“ㅡEve’s father was a great man. Do you like chocolate?”

Marian handed the child a bag full of chocolates.

“Wow. Is it magic?”

The child blinked cutely at the gift bag that suddenly appeared.

“ㅡShare it with mom.”

Marian lightly pressed the child’s head and stood up.

“Miss, how did you know the child’s name just now?”

Claude tilted his head.

“I’m the daughter of a soldier named Jayden.”

I know the names of all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives this time. Because I thought it was the minimum courtesy.

“A person with a daughter of about four years old and a wife. Then it’s obvious.”

I didn’t feel like repeating it, so I gave a brief, business-like explanation.

“ㅡYes? Oh, that’s just for a moment.”

The driver hurriedly searched the list.

“That’s right. Jayden, the soldier who died in the line of duty, has a wife named Ines and a daughter named Eve.”

Starting with his words, the knights’ eyes became even brighter, so Marian hurried her steps.

‘ah. ‘Why are you looking at me so burdensomely?’

Marian, this is our lady! I glanced at Claude, who was sticking out his chest with the same expression, and then walked quickly.

‘I ended up having a parade unintentionally.’

After mourning the victims in my own way, I headed to the dungeon of the duke castle and thought about what happened a little while ago.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if I could have reduced the damage more if I had tried a little harder.

I think so too.

I shook my head and quickly went down to the dungeon.

“Lady. There may be a slight smell of blood.”

As I went down for a while, the knights made a fuss about me as if I were a noble lady with a weak heart.

“If possible, I hope you don’t touch it yourself.”

“If you are an advisor, just ask us to do it and we will do it.”

Everyone must have seen that I beat up Sasha that day.

I sighed and nodded.

As the prison got closer, I heard a faint sound that I couldn’t tell if it was a moan or a scream.

‘Sound of something scratching?’

When I tilted my head, the knights started explaining things.

“He’s probably scraping the floor.”

I absentmindedly looked at my fingernails. I’ve never scratched the floor with my fingernails, but just thinking about it gives me the creeps.

After going down the stairs, the two knights leading the way opened the thick iron door.

Inside, there was a woman with a strange expression, not sure if she was crying or laughing, scratching the floor with her fingernails.

Unlike the backs of my hands, which were dirty from not being able to wash them, my finger joints were as white as a baby. On the other hand, the fingernails were all broken and bleeding, giving them a bizarre appearance.

“ㅡYour fingers are whiter than I thought?”

In response to my question, the driver started spewing out negative comments in a bright voice.

“Even if I cut it, it grew back in about a day! Well, it’s not even a lizard’s tail, but I heard it was so fascinating that I cut it off several times.”

“Aha.”

Certainly, with Sasha’s resilience, it could have been so.

“Hey! My lady is surprised. I should speak more gently!”

“Gasp!”

I belatedly shook my head as I watched the driver cover my mouth and look at me.

As I took a step closer, I smelled a stench of blood, sweat, and everything else.

“Huh, oh, oh, oh!”

When I looked closely, the area around Sasha was dark red, as if it had been painted with blood, and the bottom was slightly dented due to how many times it had been scratched.

“Are you sure you can’t use mana?”

I clicked my tongue slightly. If the prison is destroyed, it’s all money, so should we ask them to build it out of marble? If it were Tyran, it would be possible to create a prison that wouldn’t break even if scratched with aurors.

“Yes, in addition to the Lady’s seal, Lady Maria, His Excellency the Duke, and Lady Seria also visited.”

“ㅡYou, you!”

Only then did Sasha glance this way. Then, it started crawling like crazy on all fours, but was strangled by the chain and squealed.

“It’s because of you, you dirty whore! If it weren’t for you, I would… .”

Before Sasha could finish speaking, the knight moved quickly and kicked Sasha in the abdomen with all his strength.

“Keuuk, keeouk!”

Sasha’s body was instantly thrown against the wall. The moment Sasha coughed up blood and placed both hands on the floor.

“Gagging.”

The knight’s kicks continued fiercely.

puck! puck! puck!

Sasha’s body was shaking up and down.

“Sal, please save me, I was wrong, ugh!”

Even though Sasha pleaded, the knight did not stop kicking.

“Oh, miss, are you okay?”

The rest of the knights lightly bent their knees and began to look at me with their gaze lower than mine.

When it came out like this, I was more embarrassed than angry.

If that’s what they were aiming for, it would be success.

“Uh. Yes, it’s okay.”

prostitute. Sasha has called me that before.

But specifically?

To me, who was once a female college student, such things are insulting. No, it’s an insult, but it’s also quite dirty.

But swearing has to be related to some extent.

Sasha, who had been beaten for a while, was lying on the floor, breathing heavily as if she would break at any moment.

“Lift your head.”

“Yes!”

When the knight grabbed Sasha’s cheek strongly, she burst into tears and vomited blood.

“How dare you, young lady!!”

The knight stopped the blood with his hand and slapped him.

“Aaaah!”

Another brutal handshake continued.

With a hand like a pot lid… .

‘It must hurt so much.’

Moreover, there was a knight who did not take off his gauntlets, and I looked at Sasha, who had become a public punching machine, with half admiration and half surprise.

The more Sasha’s spirit was broken, the better.

Even the knights who told me they couldn’t show me bad things don’t seem to have any intention of holding back anymore.

After a brief period of thrashing under the guise of ‘blood loss?’, the knights brought Sasha to her knees again.

Sasha raised her head roughly by their hands and looked into my eyes.

It was a very polite look.

‘As expected, they are professionals in mental education.’

I smiled in satisfaction and stretched out my hand to Sasha.

“Um.”

It doesn’t work. I tried it the first time, but even though it was broken like this, the mental magic didn’t work.

‘Should I step on it more?’

Torture isn’t my thing, though.

“Miss, would you like some warm coffee?”

“Um, no, it’s okay.”

Well, there are so many motivated people, so there’s no need for me to do it, right?

No matter how you look at it in the first place, he doesn’t seem to have outstanding mental power.

So does this mean that the grimoire that Sasha spoke of is real?

I thought it was nonsense.

If you keep shaking it, something will come out.

‘Well, that aside.’

Shasha. I am very satisfied with seeing you suffer now.

In that sense.

‘Shall we try to motivate our guys?’

I staggered backwards with my hands clasped against my chest.

“Shasha. Why are you calling me a whore? My heart hurts so much… .”

Sasha’s eyes widened.

Even though the smoke was clearly visible, the knights reacted violently.

*

Sasha’s eyes, which seemed dead, were shaking wildly. This is because, starting from Marian’s words, I felt like they were cutting into my skin.

‘what! I said it all! ‘I told you everything I knew!’

When I looked up, the princess was smiling.

Her lips moving silently said, ‘This is all your fault. yes?’ was saying.

Crash. As soon as the door closed, the knights laughed bloodily.

“Wouldn’t it be better to start by pulling out the tongue that insulted the young lady?”

“Then you can’t interrogate.”

“I’m going to grow up again anyway?”

“Then, how about picking them all out one by one?”

“Since you said something dirty, how about making it happen?”

“An iron bar would be good.”

Sasha became thoughtful and trembled. He realized late what he had done.

“Please, it’s a mistake, I didn’t mean to…”

But no one seemed to hear anything.
