The man trapped in the special section in the basement of the royal castle was spilling a bump and talking to himself.
"I know. I know.I've already done it. This way, in that prison.... "
The man had memories of his right arm until he was slashed in the battle against Amy.
blindfolded and left in darkness.
Without knowing who would ever come, the man endured enough silence that his head could manage.
When that happens, your footsteps sound small.I felt the light I wanted slightly over my blindfold.
I'm going to be able to get away from hunger for a while.When I think about it like that, it smells soft as if there is a fragrance in the air.
It smells like a woman.
The iron lattice rises and opens.
Along with the footsteps, the fragrance gets stronger.
This sense of smell, which would not have occurred to me if I had lived outside, was sharp because I was in this special cell.
"Water. Drink it."
I know who came with my voice.You don't want to look at your face without blindfolding it.Because I know the real thing.
When I opened my mouth, a spoonful of water dripped, and my mouth was slightly moisturized.
Elvis.
……
"You don't have to hide it. I can tell with my voice."
"The execution date is set. Tomorrow.You should die without a name. "
I see.
"Tell me, if you answer my question, I promise to cure hunger and thirst, my life will end tomorrow."
- I'm lost.
I pushed the words from my mouth into my throat, and opened it for a beat.
"I'm Lorraine's double.I know what I've been doing with you and what your relationship has been. "
"... not experience, just knowledge."
"Hmm. It must be."
"If you're not going to talk, that's it."
I heard a thud and a hard heel banging on the floor of the special ward.
"We can talk about something else."
The spacing became loose and I found my feet stopped completely.
"What's the other story?"
"We... no, the heroic party, including Roland, crushed the Demon King."
"So what?"
"The Demon King is not dead. He's alive."
"I don't know what to say... bullshit.We found the body. "
"I don't suppose I did.It was' me 'who defeated him.It's Lorraine. … I 'killed' the Demon King with the collar of the magic equipment that Serafin had.He... Lorraine let the Devil go.He's still alive. "
I was silent. I could have predicted that I was under shock.
I remember being serious.I wondered how she would move after this, which was so serious as to be stupid.
... the next day, the man was executed in secret.
It's not uncommon for an assassin to end his life.
Yesterday's man's words stuck like blood in Elvi's head.
Elvi left the special section yesterday, thinking he wouldn't share the information Lorraine wanted.At that time, I heard a final word.
"A red-haired, red-eyed, beautiful demonic woman.If it's a pin, it's the Devil King. "
