Skaja stared blankly at the cold water flowing over her raw hands, then quickly washed her face at the jailer’s warning that he would soon turn off the water. Thankfully, it wasn’t as chilling as the prison’s stone floor, perhaps because it had been warmed by a fever.
The jailer, who usually passed by the other prisoners, briefly paused behind Skaja and looked around before roughly grabbing her slender waist.
“Hey. Don’t push me away like that, let’s do it when I’m being a gentleman. How about today?”
He was the jailer who always leered at her with lustful eyes, secretly asking her to share his bed. Skaja was out of her mind from not sleeping for three days, and she had neither the energy nor the stamina to refuse, but she twisted her body, shuddering in disgust.
She wanted to spit at that disgusting, giggling face, but Skaja just sighed and turned away. Without the strength to protect herself or anyone to protect her, it seemed best to avoid conflict now.
The jailer watched her enter the cell, licking his lips, until she was inside.
Apparently, there was no torture today, since the torturer didn’t call for her. Everyone was busy with the news that Duke Blahnath was visiting, but Skaja had no way of knowing that.
Leaning against the wall, Skaja fell into a faint sleep, only to be roused by the sound of the cell door opening. The jailer who had been teasing her all along was coming in, his face swollen with excitement.
“Heh heh… Look forward to it. I’ll make you unable to walk tomorrow.”
There was no need to think further. Skaja, with a sudden rush of awareness, lunged at the approaching jailer and bit his ear off in one move.
“Aaaah!!!”
Whether it was the jailer’s scream that alerted them or not, a few more jailers rushed in late.
“What’s going… Ah?! The ear?!”
The cell door was open,
The prisoner’s upper clothes were tattered,
The prisoner’s mouth was stained with blood,
The injured jailer was foaming at the mouth and lying down, bleeding from the ear.
Quickly grasping the situation, the jailer dragged the fallen injured one out, cursing under his breath.
He knew something would happen because of those evil eyes, but today of all days?! On the day the Lord is coming, he caused such an accident! Or did he hurry because he knew he couldn’t touch her anymore once the Lord came?
A few minutes after dragging the injured one out, the jailer returned, throwing new prisoner clothes and a wet cloth at Skaja, who was leaning against the wall trembling, and gave her a warning finger to watch her mouth.
Skaja made no reply. She wasn’t even in a state to respond.
After wiping the dried bloodstains from her mouth with the wet cloth and sobbing, Skaja just sat on the bed, dazed.
She wanted to get out of this hell. That was the only thought.
Then her memory became sporadic.
A man she thought she would never see again came into the prison,
He shot at the jailer who had been trying to humiliate her,
She took a bath in warm water,
And then she fell asleep.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]When she woke up, a familiar ceiling painting came into view, and Skaja let out a hollow laugh. The furniture had been replaced with simple items, but the painting depicting a scene from Eberian mythology was the same.
Thunder and lightning were striking the day that broke between her parents in a very old memory. The day Eberian kingdom was invaded by Tesia Empire.
The scene where her mother, in tears, woke her at dawn, took off her necklace, and put it on her, the scene where she was hurriedly pulled out of the royal city by some soldiers and a nursemaid.
Keep forgetting, you have to forget to live. Even though she consoled herself with this thought, the old memory revived every time she took a breath.
Because the Blahnath family, who had the largest military size at that time, refused to go to war, the Eberian kingdom didn’t receive any support from the Parsard Empire, an ally until the brink of ruin. If rescuing one princess is considered support, then there’s nothing to say.
And they waged war with the Tesia Empire and took Lindkoem. Hence, there were reasons for the Eberians to hate not only Tesia but also Parsard.
“Tell me. What was your relationship with my father?”
“……There was no relationship.”
At the sudden cold tone, Cassard’s interest was aroused, and he smiled, twisting his lips.
“You even had the key to the villa. It wasn’t an affair, was it?”
“I’ve told you many times that it wasn’t… I got the key because of an errand.”
Those large eyes glinting with resentment were perhaps beautiful if one were mad.
“What errand?”
“An errand to deliver medicine. Many nobles do not like to reveal what medicine they are taking, so it is sometimes delivered secretly…”
“A nurse gives a patient medicine without even knowing what it is?”
Clearly mocking, Cassard’s tone caused the woman to bite her lower lip slightly before retaliating.
“So, Your Grace, do you not even know what medicine your father usually takes?”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
