Prison.
There was a prison in the basement of the ‘Palace of Dominion’ where the Grand Duke of Nebla lived.
It was literally a prison.
A prison where the floor is damp and rats squeak.
Cecily and Melody were locked in the same prison, and Melody was in tears.
“Cecily, I’m sorry. Because of me… ! You shouldn’t have just whipped me… !”
Melody felt very sorry for Cecily.
But Cecily couldn’t whip her friend.
Even if she ends up in prison.
Melody thought that this squalid prison did not suit Cecily, but surprisingly, Cecily was having some fun in this prison.
It was because there were a lot of rats.
Squeak-.
“Squeak squeak. There are a lot of mice.”
Cecily’s eyes were moving as she followed the rats roaming the prison floor.
If there was a moving creature, it was the hunter’s instinct that lay dormant within Cecily to chase it with her eyes or body her.
Pot-!
Finally, Cecily pounced on the mouse that saw her weakness. The mouse was caught in a panic, and Cecily held the chubby mouse in her hand and laughed, “Hehe.”
“… Why mice? Are you really going to eat it? “Mice don’t taste good!”
Melody didn’t know why Cecily suddenly caught the mouse. However, Cecily shook her head and released the mouse again.
“If you use these mice, you will be able to escape from prison. Rats are smarter than you think.”
Cecily was planning to escape from this prison. Because he didn’t know that he would have to go through something called ‘punishment’ if he stayed in prison like this.
Tak-.
Cecily closed to the iron bars.
A knight in golden armor sat alone, guarding the hallways of this dungeon, with keys dangling from his belt.
Probably the key to the prison.
“If I had Naru, I could have opened the lock without a key.”
Cecily regretted Naru’s absence her her her her. What is Naru doing now?
━Naru Naru, Happy Naru. Happy Happy Happy Naru.
For some reason, I felt like I could hear Naru’s singing in my head. When I thought about it, it seemed like even without Naru, I could get out of this prison with just Cecily’s power.
That was the reason why the mouse was caught.
“Mmmm-. Ah-.”
Cecily cleared her throat lightly.
And then she sang softly.
“Ditch ditch ditch water. “A small ditch.”
Melody thought this was a very strange song. The mice thought so too, so all the mice in the prison flocked to Cecily’s room.
The colorful rats gathered around Cecily’s skirt her, making it look like an island floating in the sea.
Cecily said to the rats.
“Let’s take the key from that guard!”
Squeak!
After hearing Cecily’s command, the rats ran out of the prison room and pounced on the golden-armored guard.
The guard who was sitting and reading a book shouted as if he was very embarrassed.
“Rat, rat? Rat!?”
Squeak!
Now countless rats will steal the key from the guard.
Cecily laughed as she thought that, but something strange happened.
“Do you think I’m going to get hit by a rat again?”
The guard took something out of his pocket.
It looked like a five-leafed clover and had a strong pungent smell.
The first to recognize it was Melody, who lived in the forest as a child lake.
“That’s rat-repelling grass!”
Rat chasing grass.
It was a grass that rats hated very much.
I didn’t know why the guard had that rat-repelling plant, but the rats were so disgusted that they all ran away.
“… Unbelievable! The rats betrayed Cecily! “You are such a bunch of loyaltyless rats!”
Cecily was greatly discouraged.
The guard who came to Cecilie’s prison said, “Hmph.” He snorted.
“You’re not the first to try to control rats with a song, kid.”
“… !”
Cecily was angry, but she didn’t really have a solution.
After the guard disappeared into the distance, Cecily wondered how she could escape from here.
At that time, I heard laughter from somewhere.
It was a laughing sound.
“You’re trying to escape using rats. Someone has an interesting idea. But it won’t be easy. Because the guards have clear measures against rats.”
It was a voice coming from the next room.
Cecily asked towards the next room.
“Why are you telling me that only now?”
“I was just bored. It’s been over 10 years since I’ve been locked in this room, and I’m getting really bored. Why are you in this prison? Let’s talk. Because I have a lot of time.”
“Cecily did nothing wrong! It’s because of the melody!”
Cecily was depressed by her failure and she didn’t feel like talking much. Melody chatted about various things on behalf of Cecily.
The person in the next room who listened to the story for a while laughed as if it was very interesting.
“The Grand Duke of Nebla is the origin of nobles. To say something like that to Nebula is not noble. What an interesting person you are. But he’s a good person. “Maybe I can help you escape.”
Can you help me escape?
Cecily was able to quickly realize that this statement was not a lie. Because detecting lies was one of the basics of survival in social circles.
“Instead, there is a condition. Please tell me a more interesting story. For example, what kind of clothing is currently popular in the social churches of the Kingdom of Ordor?”
“White fox fur will be popular this fall.”
“Fox fur. I also had a lot of fox fur. It was not something sold at the market, but something her husband hunted and brought back. Does the little lady like hunting?”
“Hmph, Cecily von Ragdoll is a master hunter! Also, Cecily’s mother is such a great hunter that she hunted the devil!”
“That devil?”
Jojal Jojal.
Cecily talked about the demon lord who appeared again, putting the world in danger, and how she defeated that demon lord.
The woman in the room next to her listened very earnestly and then exclaimed with great exclamation, “That’s what happened!”
Soon she spoke as if she had made up her mind.
“It was a really interesting story. To even return to the past from 6 years in the future. “It’s a lie with a child’s imagination.”
“It’s not a lie!”
“But since it was fun, I’ll help you escape like I promised.” There is a gap between the walls. I’ll hand over the bone key, so make sure you escape while I make a fuss. “You can turn off the time by about 5 seconds.”
Taktak-.
There was a sound as if something was being shaken.
Soon the woman in the next room was banging on the bars with her something and shouting loudly.
“Fuck! Pup! You idiots! Hey, you bastards!”
It was a very loud and vulgar swear word.
After that, the profanity was so promiscuous that she couldn’t understand what was being said, and Cecily wanted to cover her ears her her her her. The guard who had been reading her book closed the book and walked towards the room next to her.
“Ibosho, ma’am. What’s the problem again? You know better than anyone else that vulgar swearing is prohibited in Steg Maia. Do you want to go to the punishment room again?”
“Hey dog—!”
A messy and confusing situation in many ways.
Cecily found a small key under the wall connected to her next room.
It was a key that looked like it had been carved out of bone.
When I pushed it into the outside doorway and turned it, I heard a clicking sound.
“Melody! Let’s go!”
─Cecile Bigi cat steps!
Cecily succeeded in escaping while the person in the next room was making a commotion.
Melody, who lived in the forest, was also quite confident in walking quietly.
“Let’s get out of here!”
Cecily thought it was a mistake to come to a place like this. I decided to escape this strange world, and Melody also nodded her head.
It was then that Melody discovered something about her.
It was a poster hanging on the wall of the prison.
『The 25th wedding of the Grand Duke of Nebla!』
『Time of Nobility, Top Floor of the Tower of Domination!』
Someone’s picture was hanging on the poster.
And it was a face that Melody had never forgotten.
“… Dad!”
# # # #
This place was called the “Tower of Domination.”
It was said that a banquet would be held here today for Grand Duke Nebla to welcome her 25th husband.
Also, a punishment ceremony is held for her children who break Nebula’s rules.
Garot also walked to participate in this banquet.
This is the women’s lounge.
It’s the Archduke’s rule that men and women must keep their distance until the party starts.
A space only for women.
Garrot found this space extremely painful, perhaps because of the corset or the terrible smell of feces.
“I received a marriage proposal from the Baron—.”
“Oh my, wow!”
“Did you get a diamond ring too? Huh?”
All of the women in this lounge were nobles.
And all noble women liked to talk about jewelry, accessories, and handsome men.
As Garot was just sitting there uncomfortably, someone started talking to her.
“Did you say Garsha of the Ragdoll family? Why doesn’t she say a word?”
Was it too quiet a problem?
Garot was slightly taken aback by the women’s questions.
“I don’t look like a nobleman.”
“I heard that the number of people impersonating nobles is increasing in Steg Maia these days.”
“… “Perhaps.”
‘If I keep doing this, I’ll be found out that I’m an uninvited guest!’
Garot rolled her head in embarrassment.
What is a noble language?
What should I talk about?
What was passing through Garot’s mind was a magazine from ‘Conti’, a boutique that Cecily had always liked. Was there a lot of noble information in it?
“I… “I was thinking about scarves.”
“… Muffler? What kind of scarf is it?”
“Of course, it’s a scarf made from Korbas’ white fox fur. When you think of a scarf, it’s a fox, and when you think of a fox, isn’t it natural to say Korbas’ white fox? That shiny, flowing white fur…”
The women imagined a shiny white fox scarf as Garot described it. I thought it would look really cool to wear it around my neck.
Garot added a few words to her dismissal.
“To catch a white fox without damaging its fur, you need to be patient, crouching in the snow and waiting for your prey. After waiting for days and days, it suddenly pounces on you in front of the oyster.”
The women were trembling as if they had become hunters themselves. It really felt like I was waiting for a fox in the cold.
Then someone said.
“Count Barbetto is also really good at hunting. Not long ago he caught a bunch of rabbits at the hunting ground. A man who is good at hunting is really cool, right?”
“Because it exudes a masculine feel. “I know!”
‘Suddenly we moved on to talking about men.’
It was difficult for Garot to follow the topics of their conversation.
However, I was glad that the doubts that had been focused on me had disappeared.
‘How long do I have to stay here? What are Judas and Cecily doing?’
I wasn’t worried at all.
At that time, women with bun hair flocked to Garot.
“Miss Garcia, it’s not a fox, but this sable scarf looks good, right? “Will men like this scarf?”
“What kind of scarves do men like?”
“Which dress would you like? “You probably know Ms. Garcia well, right?”
What kind of dresses and scarves do men like?
Garot was far from that kind of knowledge.
The only men Iscariot knew were her father, who passed away a long time ago, and Judah.
‘Judas’ favorite clothes…’
After thinking for a moment, she spoke seriously.
“I think you might like the woman naked more than the woman wearing it…”
“Oh my, what are you saying?”
Sigh-!
The women shouted.
Garot’s answer was too blatant.
Garot thought for a moment, “Oh my gosh,” But the women blushed furiously, slapping their backs with their palms, or giggling.
‘Is this the kind of social gathering for married women… ? Would I have become like this if I had been led by my mother to participate in the social society of ordinary nobles?’
From noble mtl dot com
It was a sight that was hard to imagine.
Soon the women asked Garot.
“Then, Ms. Garcia, what kind of man do you like? What does he like most about men? “Tell me!”
“I, I… Like veins on the back of your hand… ?”
Sigh!
The women were noisy and loud whenever Garot spoke.
But they all listened to what she said.
It was natural for a person who appeared in a social church for the first time to receive attention from existing people.
“Also… He usually seems indifferent or mischievous, but sometimes you are surprised when he is surprisingly thorough. You may be surprised when someone you thought was rude turns out to be more polite than you thought…”
“Ah, I think I understand. He’s like the male protagonist of a romance novel, right? Lady Garsha is a girl with more dreams than I thought!”
“Girl… ?”
Garot thought it was a word that did not suit her.
However, these women did not care about Garot’s reaction and were busy talking amongst themselves.
“Now that you think about it, the man who entered the tower with Ms. Garcia was really tall, right? “You look so confident walking. “What is your relationship with that gentleman?”
“Honestly, I felt more like a villain than a gentleman, right? There are bad guys that appear in romance novels. Men who harass women and behave as they please.”
“Ah, I think I know something about that! But it’s also attractive that a man like that is only nice to me. “If he has a handsome face, I can’t hate him.”
Garot tried to tell the squealing women that the man was her husband, but he silenced her.
Because Judas and her couldn’t even tell for sure what their relationship was now.
We weren’t married, we just held hands, but we had a daughter.
I even had to have a daughter in the future.
‘Right now… Can you see it as a fiancé or something?’
Dang Dang-.
Then the bell rang.
It was a signal that everyone should now move to the banquet hall.
Garot followed her daughters to the banquet hall.
There, many gentlemen and knights were already waiting for the women, wearing fancy attire.
Iscariot didn’t have to make any effort to find Judas among these numerous men.
He was wearing a black suit and was a dark, alone man, like someone had accidentally sprayed ink in this banquet hall.
“Are you here? “You must have had a lot of trouble among the ladies.”
The man nonchalantly stretched out his black-gloved hand and grabbed Garot’s palm.
Soon, Judas said, “It’s about to start—” Or “The punishment ceremony is—,” But it didn’t really reach Iscariot’s ears.
As the melody of her elegant string instrument began to create soft chords here and there, Garot realized that her heart was beating louder than usual.
Because it was a feeling she had experienced for the first time in her life, which was different from the pounding caused by fear or fear, Garot could not say a word because her face was so red.
