「That’s not true. Of course it’s a lie…」

You don’t believe it. You don’t want to believe it. But I’m sorry. It’s true.

「Do you know what I have done since I was locked up?」

I wasn’t just passing the ti in peace and quiet, doing nothing. I was taking firm asures while caring for the injured woman.

「Of course, it is not easy to escape since I’m locked up. So my first step was to find a way to contact the outside world.」

「There’s no way you could do that in that room.」

The man doesn’t believe at all, either. He can think that if he wanted to.

「I could do it. I just threw my diadem outside the small window, because it was so easy to get in touch with the outside world.」

I didn’t make those demands just to improve the environnt. Of all the things I had requested of Rio, the one thing I wanted most was for him to do it. It was to open a small window.

I knew the Knights would be looking for , so I asked them to open a small window so they could find a sign that I was here. I considered my other requests to be lucky if they were fulfilled.

「From there I contacted the Knights and had her take a specific potion that only the Knights have to ensure the woman was protected. And just as the dicine was starting to kick in, I had the Knights rush in.」

I would like to say that they were rolling in my hands, but I can’t really explain it, because Rio and the others knew.

「You know the rest. You didn’t even know they were swimming, they just ran in here.」

So as soon as the ruffians fled here, it was decided that Viscountess Bolellan’s plan wouldn’t succeed.

「More to the point, bringing Miss Bauer here was the deciding factor.」

「…Eh, what do you an?」

I wonder where the leeway I had earlier went. I can see you’re upset.

「She was under observation. That’s why the Knights know exactly where you took her. And you even stopped by the jewelry store to pick up the necklace, didn’t you?」

Viscountess Bolellan begins to tremble. It’s not surprising that she does so, since she has taken actions that are evidence of her own.

「You dug your grave. Too bad!」

As soon as I said that,

「Kill them!!」

Viscountess Bolellan exclaid, but that was not the case. I pulled a vial from the pocket of my dress and slamd it down on the low table with all my might. The vial cracked with a clank, and the contents splattered.

「Kyah, huh!?」

The contents were oil extracted from the cantera. And when we further lit it with a lighter, of course the oil caught fire, and I heard Viscountess Bolellan’s screams.

This ignition light was a parting gift from Rio. He must have noticed that I had replaced the contents of the costics Rio had prepared for with oil. It really pisses off.

Countess Bauer was smashing the contents of the cushions on the sofa at the sa ti I was making my move. Inside were feathers soaked in oil. The oil here was borrowed from a lamp in the room. The oil-soaked feathers are covered with the fire I lit, and the screams aren’t only those of Viscountess Bolellan, but also those of the ruffians.

Furthermore, the knights had rushed in, so the resulting situation was a scene of screaming.

「Go!」

I shouted to Countess Bauer pointing to the balcony. The man noticed and tried to follow, but I wouldn’t let him.

「Hmph!」

I further throw a hidden vial at him. Unfortunately, the contents are genuine lotion, but that’s good enough for . I followed the Countess Bauer out onto the balcony, just as she got scared.

My goal was the lake below. At this height, I would not die even if I jumped in. Besides, the knights are standing by to help us if the worst happens.

But before I could put my hand on the balcony fence, soone grabbed my hair. I noticed Countess Bauer looking at and trying to co towards .

「Jump!」

When I urged her to shout this, she seed lost for a mont, but then, with a determined look on her face, the Countess Bauer jumped over the balcony and fell into the lake. The sound of splashing water heard was two. This was the mont I thought she was saved.

「You’ve done it, bitch!!」

I was grabbed by the hair and pulled down, and the man restrained as I was.

「Marsha!」

I heard Raul’s angry shouts and looked at him in pain, but then I saw the Kingsguard Knights surrounding us with stern looks on their faces.

As expected of these Knights. They are excellent because they have firmly subdued all but the man who is holding in this short ti. Of course, among them was Raul, the owner of the voice, with a stern look on his face, listening to us.

「Shut it. Just don’t co any closer. If you get any closer, you’ll kill this bitch.」

I felt sothing cold on my neck. It must have been a knife. My jaw naturally lifted to avoid the knife, and I was in a position where the man’s face was just diagonally above mine. It made feel sick with the fishy sll of his breath on my face.

But what was even more disgusting was the man’s body that was in close contact with . Every ti his sweaty skin touches my exposed skin, I get a horrifying chill and feel as if I’m about to lose consciousness.

「Damn, this is really bad luck. I thought I had a good patron now that that damned man was gone, that son of a bitch!」

The man backs away from them, mumbling and complaining, jittery and holding in place.

「You are surrounded here. Stop your futile resistance and let her go.」

Raul tried to persuade him, but that wouldn’t stop the man from resisting. Sure enough, in a fit of rage, the man pressed a knife to my throat.

「I told you to shut up! Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way if you don’t want to get this bitch killed!!!!」

I felt a tingling pain in my throat and then felt sothing flow down my neck and fall. Perhaps I had been cut in the thin skin and blood had flowed.

When the knights saw this, they sensed that the man was serious, and the knights who had surrounded him to prevent him from escaping gave way.

「Yes! You should have done that from the beginning!」

He clicked his tongue in annoyance and continued on his way, wary of his surroundings. It was Raul, after all, who stopped him.

「You know what, you’re right. Don’t get in my way. You want to get this bitch killed,」

“Ahhn!” Raul calmly tells the man,

「Do you want to trade?」

「Ahh? A trade, you say…」

「That’s right. You know what I ant. You know you can’t hold her hostage and get away with it.」

「What’s the point?」

「That’s why I’m offering you a deal. If you let her go, we can get your charges dropped a few notches.」

“What, are you being ridiculous?” I thought, as my heart was racing and pulsing.

「What do you an? Say it more simply.」

「In other words, I’m saying that if you get caught, I can get you out in a few days. No jail ti, just a brief hearing, and you’re a free man. That’s what I’m saying.」

“You think we’re going to let this man go unchecked?” I looked at Raul as if I were looking at sothing horrific.

「…I don’t know if I can take that.」

「Yes, I promise. And you were just hired, not the ringleader. So it’s easy for you to talk, right?」

「Where is that guarantee? You have no right to do that.」

「I am the Captain of the 4th Kingsguard Unit. I have that much power.」

That is abuse of power. You should not use that kind of power.

「Nhn, I don’t want to. There is a commander above the captain. Even if you promised that, if I shake my head, it’s all gone anyway.」

「I won’t let that happen.」

「I don’t trust you. If you’re going to say that, make the Commander promise you here and now. Otherwise, I won’t let her go.」

.

Stop it. Don’t do that. Don’t call Douglas-sama.

「… Alright, I’ll send soone to get him. I’ll send for him now. Can you wait a little while for the Commander to get here?」

「That’s great. If you really want to make a promise like that, I’m all ears.」

No, stop. There is no way I can forgive this man for treating won so badly. Oh, I don’t know what to do. I feel so sick.

「By the way, you said you were the Captain of the 4th Unit. So, you’re the『Tragic Lover』I’ve heard so much about?」

「I don’t know if『Tragic Lover』is referring to , but my na is Raul Colden. I am the fiancée of that woman.」

「Ahhn!? You’re this bitch’s fiancee? How bad. I can’t believe I took you hostage.」

「…」

「But, I hate to break it to you, but I don’t like this bitch. She’s a bitch that pisses off. Don’t you think so too?」

「…She is my dear fiancée…」

No way. You hold dear? You make laugh. If you say I was that important, kill this man. He did terrible things to won. He did sothing absolutely unforgivable. So why is Raul helping this man?

「Hmmm. Well, I don’t know. I think she’s a nice girl. She’s a little sassy, but she’s smart and not bad looking. Above all else, I can’t get enough of it. I can’t stand this thin waist. I wish I could put my fingerprints on this waist. Gehhehehe.」

Then he stroked my waist and a soundless scream spilled out of my mouth.

「Don’t look at her like that…!」

「What the hell? Are you mad at ? You’re a small man. You ought to be bigger than that.」

「…urk.」

「But you know what? If only the door had been unlocked at that ti… it would have been a sha.」

I have more chills than ever now that I know that the horror of that night was this man.

「I’ve always wanted to taste your fiancée’s soft skin… you know?」

He grabbed by the chin and I felt his fishy breath close to , and then I felt a warm, raw substance running from my cheek to my forehead. A montary pause in thought. And when I realized that this was a lick, sothing inside snapped.

And a mont later, my heel was stepping over the back of the man’s foot with all the force I could muster.
