“Huh!”
It was already dark night when Violetta, who had collapsed, came to her senses.
“Oh, Princess. Are you okay?”
The maids of the duke, who had cared for her, hurriedly looked after her.
“Here… where are you?”
“It’s a mansion, Princess. After the appointment ceremony, he collapsed in the banquet hall and brought me here. Don’t you remember?”
“The appointment ceremony… ah.”
Violetta’s eyes widened.
Then, like a wave of water, the memory just before I collapsed came flooding back. It was like a dark nightmare.
‘That wasn’t a dream.’
It was as if he had subconsciously dismissed it as a dream while fainting. Violetta’s pale lips trembled.
If what happened before I passed out was true… Really, that woman…. Bump.
At that moment, her door opened strongly. Violetta turned her head towards it, startled.
“Ah, father.”
“….”
The peacock, with his long legs, without delay, strode towards her on the bed.
and, damn!
A cold friction echoed through the room. Violetta’s big eyes trembled in disbelief. “Ah, Father….”
“Don’t call me father.”
Duke Everett gave a low warning.
“I had high expectations of you, Violetta. I thought it would at least be better than your brother, who became a burden beyond useless.”
“….”
“But what is this, huh? Did I ask you a lot? No. There was only one.” From a young age, she had only one goal.
To tame the peacock Valtail.
“If I can’t make you love me, I said it’s okay to just break it. They even got rid of the disturbing rabies, have you been unable to do that for ten years?”
“Father, no, Duke. I….”
“It’s okay to work today. If you made your pack of followers that way, either cause an even bigger scandal on the spot, or shout that the
reappearing rabbi is a fake. could do anything Don’t fall down like that.”
Duke Everett’s eyes blazed coldly with a dazzling blue light. was angry He couldn’t contain his anger whenever his plans went awry.
“I am very disappointed with you, Violetta. You were just useless junk. It’s a waste to expect and invest in the past.”
The duke spit out harsh words that he couldn’t even imagine doing to his daughter, and then turned around.
thud.
When the door closed, only silence lingered in the room, “It’s useless… no.”
Violetta felt the sky collapsing and fainted once more.

The empire was turned upside down. I did just that.
It’s a scoop on the fact that the first knight I’ve ever seen won the
championship in the competition to select the Silver Knights Commander, but Leverticia, who died 10 years ago, has appeared proudly.
All newspapers were eager to cover this scoop. But the real party, Leverticia-
“Free it, you idiots.”
– He was in the custody.
Leverticia roughly kicked the iron door with her foot, then stopped because she really thought the door would blow off.
‘What the iron fence is so weak that it fell.’
Not wanting to become a real criminal for vandalism, she swung her foot down.
The reason Leverticia was arrested was none other than the name of an investigation into whether she had truly returned from the grip of the warlocks unjustly, or whether she had worked with them.
Leverticia flopped on the floor and clicked her tongue.
He seemed to have plenty of room for the person who had been arrested. After all, it was a predictable scenario.
‘All kinds of suspicions will be placed on you, who suddenly returned. In connection with black magic. Maybe I’ll put him somewhere I need to investigate.’
‘Then it’s very unfortunate. Can I escape?’
‘… Unless you really want to be a criminal, stay calm. I’ll take it out as quickly as possible.’
‘It was a joke. Don’t look at me with such a worried face.’
As Leverticia said so, Kaiers had a rather worried face. Worried about her being locked up in jail?
No, really, I’m afraid I’ll break the cage and break out of the prison.
At the time, I thought it was just a pointless worry, but when I came in, it seemed like it was really possible.
‘Who made the iron bars so weak! In the iron cage that traps warlocks and related people!’
It was when she was kicking her tongue and shaking the iron bars.
“It’s not like I can get out of here just because I’m so hot, young man.”
Someone locked up in the next room suddenly spoke to her through the cage.
When she turned her head, she saw an old man in a scruffy, grime-drenched prison suit, stroking his messy beard.
“… Who are you?”
Leverticia’s voice subsided for a moment.
This was a place where those suspected of being related to black magic were imprisoned.
Even though that old man may not look like much from the outside, he must be a person related to black magic.
The old man shook his head at her vigilant attitude and clicked his tongue. Then he pushed the wand she was holding over the fence and into her place.
‘What are you going to do with this?’
Rebertisha stared silently to see if she could use this staff to perform another black magic trick.
The wand slowly climbed over her head, and then immediately fell down.
“Ugh!”
“This is just it. Where are you being rude?”
The old man grinned and retrieved the wand again. Leverticia was stunned and didn’t say a word.
The old man still spoke to her with a smile on his face.
“Who came in after the young man? No one comes here.”
“I have nothing to talk about with the minions that help the warlock.”
“I am. What do you do when you are locked up together? After all, aren’t you also in a situation where you were held unfairly by the breath of high- ranking noblemen?”
“that… but.”
“Look. We are all in the same situation.”
At the old man’s relaxed tone of voice, Leverticia gradually relaxed her boundaries and asked.
“Then did your grandfather come in unfairly?”
“no. I’ve actually worked in a warlock’s lab, quill.” “what?”
But he quickly turned his head again and looked at the old man. The old man was whistling shamelessly.
“Hey, Grandpa. Is what you just said true?” “Bitch, you bastard! Talking rudely.”
“… ha. grandfather.”
“Come on.”
The old man wiped his beard with a solemn expression.
“Did you really work in the Warlock’s Lab?”
“It’s been quite a while. They’ve been captured and worked like slaves ever since they set up a base near some lake….”
lake!
Leverticia’s eyes widened.
By the lake base he’s talking about, it’s clear that he’s referring to the same place she raided 10 years ago.
As the old man’s story gradually grew more credible, Leverticia pricked her ears.
“They are really scary guys. I would have been caught and subjected to horrific experiments, but luckily I had a good memory and how to write, so I was used to being their servant.”
“But the base collapsed 10 years ago.”
“Right, it was!”
As Leverticia pretended to know, the old man was even more excited.
“At that point, I almost died too. Damn I was called up to another site a few days before that happened….”
“Any other base? Where are the other bases?”
Leverticia clings to the barbed wire. This could be really valuable information.
“That’s it, where….” gulp.
It was when Leverticia was looking at his mouth with full concentration.
– Knuckle.
“… I’m hungry.”
“I’ll tell you to eat as much as you want when you leave here later, so let’s answer it right away!”
“Hmm. I can’t remember because I’m hungry.”
Saying so, the old man lay flat on his seat. He closed his eyes as if trying to sleep.
“No, where is the most important thing to cut off from! Hurry up and talk to me!”
“Hey, it’s noisy. Young people these days only have louder voices….”
The old man muttered and turned to his side. His determination not to answer until he gave him food stood out.
It was time for Leverticia to ponder for a moment whether she really should break this barbed wire.
Cheolkong-good profit.
I heard someone open the door from outside and come in. The sound of footsteps came closer to her.
After confirming her identity, Rebertisha’s eyes sank.
“Duke Everett.”
He gave a light chin to the jade keeper who was beside him without a word. Then he took out the key and opened her iron door.
It looked like he had bought a jade keeper.
“What are you doing?”
Leverticia asked with her arms crossed.
Duke Everett stared at her for a long time before opening his mouth.
“… I have something to offer you.”
