……Thump.
Her drenched outerwear fell to the floor. Rasilia, feeling considerably lighter, turned her head to face Lady Pashad.
“What does that mean? A promise?”
Lady Pashad seemed tense as she swallowed her dry saliva.
“Didn’t you promise me? To give the inheritance rights of Count Ayeyev to my second son, not the count’s daughter.”
Apparently, the Count Ayeyev’s family had no sons.
Either way, it wasn’t important.
“So you’re saying that in exchange for taking care of my clothing, you decided to rob the inheritance rights of another family for me? Have I understood this right?”
“It’s not just ordinary clothing care, is it, Your Majesty? How much I have endured while handling your wardrobe…!”
Rasilia cut off Lady Pashad’s words.
“I don’t know what you’ve been doing all this time. As you know, I don’t remember anything from before.”
“……Tha, that… You don’t need to do this to me, Your Majesty.”
Lady Pashad too thought the amnesia was fake.
“What do you mean? That I don’t need to act like this with you? As if amnesia can be selective depending on the person.”
“……”
Lady Pashad distorted her lips as she tightly clasped her hands together.
“You can’t do this to me, Your Majesty. If you knew what I was protecting for you, you wouldn’t do this…”
“I wonder. I don’t know what you’re talking about. What is it that you say you’re protecting for me?”
“Don’t you know? What’s happening with the mark?”
As expected, she had guessed correctly. Lady Pashad was using the secret of the empress like a sword, holding it over her. Perhaps the one who had handed her the sword first was the empress, but that wasn’t important. Since Lady Pashad had the sword, she could wield it whenever she wanted.
“The mark?”
But that didn’t mean that she had to obediently take the blow.
“……Yes?”
“What about the mark?”
Lady Pashad looked unbelieving, her expression trembling.
“You can’t possibly… pretend not to know about the mark?”
“I don’t remember anything. So speak up. What’s happening with the mark, what does it mean, and what will you do with that information if I don’t rob Count Ayeyev’s inheritance rights?”
“Tha… If that’s the case, do you mean it’s okay if it’s revealed?”
“As I said, I don’t know what it is. So far, you’ve been hiding it for me, so it must be something that shouldn’t be known.”
“Of, of course! If the Emperor finds out about it…!”
“Then what? What will happen?”
“You? Tha, that will rightfully be the downfall of the Pielion family…”
“The Pashad family as well? We’ve been hiding this secret together, so is the Pashad family not involved?”
“Tha… That…?”
There was one thing Lady Pashad didn’t know.
That there’s no one less threatened by blackmail than a prophet. If the premise of the blackmail is exposure, then it holds no threat to a prophet. The duty of a prophet was to expose.
“If the Pielion family faces ruin and the Pashad family is guaranteed safety, tell His Majesty. I don’t remember anything, so I have nothing more to say.”
“Ahh…”
Lady Pashad let out a strange moan, biting her lips.
Until now, Lady Pashad must have obtained various things from the empress using loyalseeming blackmail. When the empress refused to pay any more under the excuse of memory loss, if Lady Pashad exposed the secret, all that was left was to die together. Rasilia made it clear that she would not die alone.
With that, the positions of the one making threats and the one being threatened had switched.
“If that’s all you had to say, I wish you would finish undressing me. I want to bathe now.”
“……. ……Yes, Your Majesty.”
The duchess began to undress with a pallid face as if she had rolled alone in a snowfield.
Thud, thump…….
Her trembling fingertips started to unbutton.
“A little faster.”
Rasilia scolded the duchess.
“Ah, ah! …Yes, yes, Your Majesty…”
For some reason, the duchess began to fuss even more.
“There’s no need to be too frightened. You just need to do the task you have always been assigned. Then I will treat you as I did before. If your hands are shaking too much, wait a little.”
“That… ah, understood.”
The hands that had been shaking for a while stopped their movement for a moment. Then they began to move properly, as if they had regained control.
So Rasilia didn’t know.
That there was another reason that made the duchess’s hands tremble.
That the mark just above her buttock, which had been fading for more than half, had vividly revived after all the buttons of the underdress were unfastened.
[This is the time separator]“Put on your clothes, Your Majesty.”
Rascal finished his bath in five minutes. It was just a matter of dipping his soaplathered body in the hot water once and coming out.
Today, even Serben was not allowed to dry off the moisture.
Rascal, who disliked contact with other humans, usually did the mundane things himself.
Anyway, after wiping off the moisture, Serben dressed Rascal in new clothes.
While silently slipping his arms into the shirt and buttoning it up, Rascal asked.
“Where’s Riyan?”
