About Impoverishment IF [133 – Episode 3] – Give you a red leash (3)

As Titania left Vivian and went out of the room, the maid taking care of her mother quickly approached her and smiled brightly. She was a young maid who had become quite close to Titania after she became queen.

“Her Majesty, are you here? “Have a cup of tea for a moment…”

“…I’m sorry, but I have to go back now. Please continue to take good care of your mother.”

“…all right.”

Titania tapped the maid on the shoulder, then passed the maid and headed outside. As Titania disappeared from sight, the maid returned her smile and muttered softly.

“I don’t know why you’re so obsessed with someone who isn’t even the queen anymore.”

The maid was dissatisfied with this situation itself. I am very grateful and happy that Her Majesty the Queen trusts me, but it is unfortunate that trusting me requires the help of someone who is no longer the queen.

“I’m annoyed that I left my hometown and came to a villa like this, and even the lady’s care… wow~”

The maid pretended to vomit and shook her head in disgust. Her Majesty had told her to take good care of her, but looking at the way she treated the woman, it didn’t seem necessary.

In the first place, Her Majesty the Queen had brought him in secretly, and judging by the leash around her neck, it was Her Majesty’s pet that she had kept in secret. It was okay for me to just work hard and make a lot of money.

‘And just like Her Majesty, I also relieve some stress~’

Instead of keeping this a secret, the allowance was five times the basic amount.

Honestly, nothing has ever been this easy. It’s easy to work alone, and I don’t really have to worry about pets. Plus, it was the best job because I got to relieve my stress with my pet.

The maid, giggling, hummed and began preparing food for the pet. How should I tease and ridicule you again today? Is there a word that can relieve stress?

The next morning.

Titania, who arrived at her office, sighed softly and looked at Veronica, who was looking at her with her arms crossed. Titania looked at Veronica and shrugged her shoulders.

“…You haven’t crossed the ‘line’ yet, right? Why do you look at me like that?”

“Yes, it’s a problem because I did everything without crossing the line. Will you please let me go now? Before it really gets ruined?”

“…little bit more.”

“no. Release me now. “If I had known it would go this far, I wouldn’t have approved of your plan.”

Titania’s eyes widened when she heard Veronica’s low growling voice. Release me? why? Not even a month has passed yet? I’ve been in such pain for over two years? Release my mother already?

Before Titania kidnapped Vivian, she promised to keep ‘good’ with Veronica. Physical and verbal violence was prohibited, and a line was drawn to ensure that Vivian was not ‘broken’ as a safety measure.

However, Titania did not just use violence, but Vivian was already on the verge of destruction. Even though the ‘maids’ selected by Titania took care of her, Vivian’s brokenness was not unusual.

“…Titania, you can stop now. Vivian has had enough-”

“No, not yet. Just a little more, just a little more.”

“you…! “Stop being stubborn!”

“stubborn?! Then me?! What emotions have I felt for 2 years?! My mother is having a hard time so I’m telling her to stop now?! no!! “My mother hasn’t even felt half the pain I felt!!”

Veronica frowned as she looked at Titania venting her anger. The reason Veronica supported this plan to some extent was because she watched Titania suffer from the sidelines.

At first, Veronica, like Ainsel, was completely opposed to it. Kidnapping might be okay, but confinement was problematic no matter how you think about it. Moreover, what Titania wanted was not simple confinement.

‘This is why I was against it…!’

Titania, who was falling apart without Vivian, said, ‘I want my mother to feel the same way I do.’ Veronica eventually agreed to Titania’s plea and drew a ‘line’ as a safety measure.

However, the safety measures that Veronica set up were meaningless, and Vivian was somehow falling apart faster than expected. Is it because of Titania’s runaway, or is there something else?

Veronica only examined Vivian’s condition through Ainsel’s powder body when Titania visited Vivian. It was painful every four or three days to see Vivian’s broken state reflected in the mirror.

“…I have nothing more to say. Titania. If I keep going any longer, I will force myself to bring Vivian. And, I’m going to turn it back into a pastry shop.”

“sister!!”

“Look at the reality!! Titania!! Vivian is falling apart now!! If you do it wrong, you might make a ‘bad mistake’!! “If you get to that moment, your relationship is already broken!!”

Veronica scolded Titania for the first time.

Titania’s shoulders shrank as she looked angry, showing naked anger. Seeing Titania muttering ‘But.’ Veronica screamed once more.

“You said it!! It’s not that I hate my mother!! It just makes you feel a little bit of the pain you felt!! If you really just want to get the relationship back, stop now!! Because it’s enough!!”

Suddenly, Titania’s teeth ground. It was because what Veronica said made sense. The mother already looked more distressed than expected, and as Veronica said, it looked as if she would collapse at any moment.

‘Affection’ whispers from somewhere close to my heart telling me to stop now. Enough is enough. He said his mother would fully understand his feelings. But then what about me? What pain did I feel?

I didn’t want to return this pain. I just want to make my mother feel that way. However, someone whispers from deep within Titania’s heart. ‘It’s still not enough.’

My mother said that she had not yet felt even half of the pain she felt. I shouldn’t let my mother go. The ‘hatred’ whispering deep in my heart did not allow me to let go now.

In the end, as a result of a compromise between love and hatred, Titania was given four days. After four days, I thought it would be okay to let my mother go. Titania sighed and answered.

“…just four days. “After four days, I will really release your mother.”

“you really……!”

Veronica frowned in annoyance. I felt like hitting Titania for her continued stubbornness. At the moment when she wondered what on earth to do, a thought crossed Veronica’s mind.

“…Instead, there is a condition.”

Veronica took out a very small Aincell powder from her pocket and held it out to Titania.

“Leave this where Vivian is. We’ll watch this for four days, and if there’s a problem, we’ll bring you in right away. “If it’s okay, let’s make it four days.”

“…okay.”

“If you understand, go right away and leave it behind. “I’ll have to keep an eye on you for the next four days.”

Veronica just gestured with her chin and urged me to go quickly. Titania held the Aincel powder in her hand tightly, sighed softly, and turned her back to Vivian.

Clink! With the sound of dishes breaking, the maid opened the door and entered Vivian’s room. Since yesterday, I was getting irritated by my pet, which kept throwing and breaking dishes and empty liquor bottles.

The problem was that he had been looking for alcohol since yesterday, so I handed it to him thinking he would be quiet when he was drunk. If the liquor bottle is empty, throw it. If the liquor bottle is empty, throw it. The number of broken glass cleaned up in one day was more than five bottles.

“Oh really! “I wasn’t bringing in alcohol!”

The maid, who shouted angrily, brought cleaning tools and started cleaning the room. The maid, who had finished cleaning the broken dish, looked at Vivian, ignoring the pet that was glaring at her as if it were going to kill her from behind.

“What the hell are you thinking? “Do you keep breaking dishes?”

“…Ha, now I even listen to informal language from the maid.”

Vivian laughed as if it was absurd, but the maid found Vivian’s attitude extremely funny. The reason he couldn’t understand his topic was none other than the pet in front of him.

“Why do I treat you with respect? “To Her Majesty’s pet.”

“…what?”

Pets? The maid curled the corners of her mouth and sneered at Vivian’s first reaction. It’s really a pet that doesn’t even know its own subject. The maid giggled and clapped her hands.

“Ahaha! “Who doesn’t know my subject!”

“…What are you talking about? “What did you just say?”

“It’s a pet. You, Her Majesty’s pet.”

“…Who is it? “I’m a pet?”

“The owner who put your leash on?”

Vivian’s shoulders shrank as she felt her heart sinking. The person who put the leash on was none other than Titania. So, Titania is treating me like a pet behind my back?

“…Yeah, that’s it, right?”

When I thought about it, I thought it was strange. I never would have guessed that the reason he was shackled and put on a leash was simply to treat me, my mother, as a pet. The word ‘I love you’ means loving it as a ‘pet’.

“under.”

Vivian laughed. He laughed as if he was breathing out loud. It was a very empty laugh. It was a smile that looked back on one’s life. It was a smile that made me wonder if my life had any meaning until now.

“Ahaha!”

“What, are you crazy?”

“Ahahaha!!”

The young maid was frightened when she heard Vivian’s laughter. Seeing Vivian laughing like a crazy person, I stepped back and frowned as if I was dumbfounded. What, why is it like that?

“Ah, anyway, break the bottle and drink it! “Before it gets to your master!”

As if avoiding a madman, the maid backed away from Vivian and pointed and shouted. If you break the bottle one more time, I will tell your master, Her Majesty the Queen.

The moment the maid let out a bored sigh and was about to open the door and leave –

“Really, how long will that pet be-”

“…Who says it’s a pet?”

“H-Your Majesty…?”

Titania glared at the maid with angry eyes. Titania raised her head and looked at her mother’s condition and the maid’s appearance alternately, then gritted her teeth and raised one hand high.

Sigh-!

At that moment, the maid’s head turned with a sound like lightning. The maid looked up at Titania, covering her swollen cheek with a blank expression, as if she had no idea what had happened.

“…What on earth are you going to do?”

“Yes, yes…?”
