About Impoverishment IF [133 – Episode 2] – Give you a red leash (2)

Titania, who had given her mother a bright red dog collar, had an insidious desire rising in her heart. The mother kneeling on the floor, looking at her pleadingly, was extremely fascinating.

Titania curled the corners of her mouth in admiration, saying, “I never imagined something like this would suit me.” My mother had a dejected expression on her face, as if she couldn’t believe the dog collar hanging around her neck.

With blank eyes, he looked down at the bright red dog collar hanging around his neck, and even fumbled with the dog collar with his fingertips, as if he couldn’t quite feel the reality just by looking at it.

“T-Titania… I was wrong… This isn’t right… Huh? huh?”

Then I realized the reality and shed tears again. The sight of her mother crawling towards her with only her knees, wearing a dog collar, as if her legs had lost strength, gave Titania an inexplicable stimulus.

“I will never leave here again… I will wait here for you… Please, not like this… After all, I am your mother… Why on earth are you like this…”

Titania, wriggling and raising one eyebrow, looked down at Vivian, who was sobbing and drooling slightly. As I quietly watched my mother begging and holding on to the hem of her skirt, an insidious desire rose up.

“mother.”

Titania let out a dry sigh to cool down the desire that seemed to be boiling inside her. I took off the chain that connected the shackles and attached it to the metal ring attached to the dog collar around my mother’s neck.

When Titania looked down at her mother sitting on the floor, holding the chain connected to the dog collar, she swallowed without realizing it. I adjusted my leash and lowered my head to look at my mother.

“I definitely gave it one last chance. Please don’t run away, give me time to think. “It was my mother who tried to run away without waiting for that time.”

Titania, who was gently caressing her mother’s cheek, smiled in satisfaction. Would I be crazy if I thought that my mother’s crying face wearing a dog collar was really pretty?

A day has passed since the dog collar was placed around Vivian’s neck.

The foreign feeling in my throat seemed to have disappeared to some extent. If there’s anything uncomfortable, is it painful when the chain comes down in front and keeps hitting your skin? Other than that, there was nothing special about the shackles.

Of course, the knife that cut the shackles was also confiscated. After that, no more knives were given at meals, only spoons. Vivian felt as if she was in prison, and she kept laughing helplessly.

Vivian stood up and looked around the room blankly. The good news in this situation is that there is no mirror in the room, isn’t it? Because you don’t have to see yourself wearing a dog collar.

I think I cried so much that I couldn’t cry anymore, but the tears kept coming. The area around my eyes started to sting and hurt as I kept wiping away the tears. How long on earth do I have to stay like this?

Vivian laughed and shed tears as she adjusted the dog collar around her neck. Where on earth did it go wrong? Anyway, I didn’t expect Titania to do something like this.

Is it normal for a daughter to put a dog collar on her mother? Is it normal for a daughter to confess that she loves her mother, that she loves her as a woman? At that moment, a terrible boiling emotion enveloped Vivian.

hate.

I hate Titania.

I hate it so much that I don’t even want to look at it. He hated Titania for making him like this. He hated Titania, who had kidnapped him, imprisoned him, shackled him, and now made him wear a dog collar.

Moreover, it wasn’t just Titania who was hated.

bang! The door opened with a sound, and a maid with an annoyed expression strode into the room. What kind of grudge does this maid have against me that makes her look at me like that?

The maid did not put the meal she brought down on the desk like usual, but instead put it on the floor. He looked at me, acting as if he was giving food to a pet, and smiled.

“Enjoy your meal?”

Are you telling me to sit on the floor and eat like a dog?

The maid didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding that she was treating Vivian like a pet anymore. He looked at the dog collar hanging around Vivian’s neck, laughed, and then ran out of the room.

The moment the maid leaves the room.

Vivian clearly heard the maid’s mumbling voice.

“How long does Her Majesty have to keep a pet like that? “I hope you will also consider the perspective of the person raising you.”

Vivian smiled helplessly and looked at the soup plate on the floor. It was a laugh that came from admiration for the behavior of the maid who no longer even gave him spoons. Really, they don’t even treat me like a human anymore.

Vivian wanted to get angry with the maid and fight right now, but she couldn’t. That’s right, Titania told me to wait. I had to wait quietly until Titania finished thinking.

Vivian picked up the plate of food on the floor, put her lips to the end of the plate, and swallowed the soup in one gulp. I feel the shame of being treated like a dog go down my throat along with the soup.

It was disgusting.

I was disgusted by the maid who was childishly tormenting me, and I was also disgusted by Titania who turned a blind eye to this situation. Considering the maid’s attitude, I had no idea what was in the soup and even the taste was disgusting. Everything was disgusting.

Gulp, gulp, gulp.

Vivian, who swallowed all the soup on her plate, sighed and threw the empty plate on the floor. Clink! Vivian giggled as she looked at the plate shattering with a sound.

“…if everyone died.”

The maid, Titania, and me.

The urge to wish everyone dead boiled over like wildfire.

Four days after that.

Titania came to check on Vivian’s condition. Titania slowly approached Vivian as she saw her mother looking up at her with murderous eyes, sitting on the floor like a wreck.

“mother.”

“…Why are you here now?”

Suppressed cries were coming out of the mother’s throat as she sat on the floor.

“…sorry. “I’m busy with work-”

“Why are you coming now!!”

A scream that was almost like a scream came out of Vivian’s mouth. He glared at Titania with a face stained with anger and bit his lower lip with his upper teeth. Blood began to form on my dry lips.

When I saw Titania, a wave of terrible emotions rose from deep within my heart. I was filled with emotions as if it were a tsunami. Unable to overcome that feeling, tears began to well up in my bloodshot eyes again.

“Why, why are you here now?! They said it would come soon! “You said you’d be back soon!!”

“…..”

“Yes, wait until you finish thinking!! When on earth does it end?! “How do I feel about you right now!!”

Vivian swallowed the suppressed sounds that escaped her throat and somehow continued. I couldn’t breathe properly and my vision turned white. I couldn’t breathe to the point where I couldn’t see clearly.

“Are you really planning on raising me? Are you planning to raise me like a dog?! Me, the mother who raised you?! “Are you planning to lock me here and raise me like a pet?”

Vivian screamed like a crazy person, pulling the dog collar around her neck as if it would tear it. As Titania just stared with narrowed eyes without any reaction, Vivian’s voice became urgent.

“If you don’t want to do that, release it right away. I will promise you now. I promise I won’t run away from here! So, take off this damn dog’s collar right now!”

She tried her best to untie the dog collar from around her neck, but the thick leash around Vivian’s neck refused to break. Titania looked at him and smiled.

Vivian, who heard Titania’s laughter, widened her eyes and looked at Titania in disbelief. Titania doesn’t care even when she glares at her as if she’s going to kill her, and smiles wickedly.

“Are you laughing now…?”

“But… it was none other than my mother who tried to run away first, right?”

“……”

“So, why aren’t you listening to me? Why do you keep trying to run away from me? Do you understand now? “Friendly words-”

While Titania was speaking, she pursed her lips as if she had chosen the wrong words. Then he tilted his head and looked at Vivian. Still without losing her smile, she looked at Vivian and spoke again.

“…I don’t think it’s time yet.”

“what…?”

Titania only said those words, turned her back and headed towards the door. Vivian, who was nervous, got up and quickly ran to catch Titania, but-

Empty!

“Big!”

The moment there was only one step left to get out of the room, the chain connected to the wall and the dog collar was pulled taut, constricting Vivian’s neck. Vivian, who unconsciously heard the sound, had no choice but to watch Titania walk away.

“Go, don’t go…!”

In response to Vivian’s plea not to go, Titania stood tall and looked at Vivian. Vivian knelt in place and prayed again. Please, please don’t go. Please don’t go.

“So, sorry for yelling. Because I was wrong. Don’t go… Titania… Huh? please…”

“…mother.”

“Please…Titania…please…”

Titania held the doorknob and began to slowly close the door. Through the door that closed very slowly, Titania smiled and answered Vivian.

“Next time I will come to you sooner than this time.”

“…ah.”

Something I heard last time too.

Vivian still wasn’t sure why Titania said those words to her, but she knew what those words meant. Titania said, “Please wait, I will come see you soon.”

“ha ha ha…”

It was a terrible lie.
