I look around but I don't see any people.

"People now..."

I look up at the hall in front of me. She also looked like she disappeared into this.

The building's construction looked a little smaller and poorer than other halls.

Suddenly one thought came to mind in me.

"This isn't the hall where the ghost comes out."

Somehow, I thought so. Luca said the exterior was older than the rest of the building. If so, is that woman I saw a ghost... Huh? But ghosts don't come out during the day, do they?

"Hmm."

I can't think together, and it's been a mess. In the first place, I need to get back to Luca now more than a ghost. I'm going to go at night anyway. You don't have to go out of your way to do something alone. I don't care if he's a ghost or not. Luca must be angry when she broke her promise. Get back to Luca and find Joshua.

It was then.

Shih.

"Ya!!

"Princess Luche?

Grabbing my shoulder and suddenly screaming, I raised my face to a familiar voice.

"Is, Count...?

Now the most obscure man, the Count, stood behind him.

"Hey, why are you here?

"That's the line here. Luca, what happened to you?

Unlike usual, the Count seemed to be intertwining somewhere.

"Luca is looking for Joshua. He's gone."

"Is Joshua gone? Again. Anyway, this isn't a good place. You have to go back."

The Earl pulled my hand. After all, what? What do you know?

"What is it? So much so."

"It's not too good here. If anything happens to you, I'm sorry to the Duke of Listil."

He's trying to get me out of here.

"What do we have here?

Out of my mouth, this word came out.

"Princess?"

"Count, you, you said Ri now, didn't you? What do you know?

"Calm down."

"I'm calm. Where's Joshua? Did you take it?

I left it to the momentum to say. I thought it was gone, but it's too late. No, let's leave it to the flow.

"You said it when you fixed your leg before, didn't you? He said we need to get him out of the dark. How do you know the kids are in the dark?

"Oh, that's"

The Earl mumbled.

"You kidnapped everyone?

"No, I'm not. I'm really..., Dangerous Princess Luche!!

The Count tried to say something. but I couldn't.

"Huh?"

At that moment, I didn't know what had happened.

My body is shocked. Sudden floating sensation.

Float, fall.

The shock came to my body.

Hey, but...

It was the Count running over here and the doll with the inorganic eyes behind it, with no emotions whatsoever, with a distorted grin, that blurred at the edge of his sight.

I feel my body float.

I was standing in that basement again.

Also, dreams... Always the same... He said it wouldn't make sense if you didn't move on.

"Ha..."

I took a step with a sigh.

Bitsch. I heard a water noise. No, I feel more rattled than no water. I looked down. Though I honestly don't see it very well because it's dim in the room, I recognized it.

This is blood.

Whose the hell is that?

I got a bad sign from behind. I don't want to shake it. But I have to turn around.

I turned around at once.

"... Huh!!

I almost screamed. I didn't want to see anything like that.

Some kind of liquid that spreads to the floor. Where is that coming from?

"Oh, my God?

Blonde's hiding her face, but okay. That's Eich. The dress is stained black.

"Eich!!

I tried to rush over to Aihi. but I couldn't.

People stood by the bloody Eich. The person's hand was gripped with a black-dyed sword, and the liquid flowing from it was making a sound as if it were flabby.

"Who!? Who is it?

The person's face is not clearly visible. But it was small. Higher than me, but still, like a child... I stared.

"... Huh!!

I, again, almost screamed.

Pi. The sound of water hitting and falling in my brain.

"Lou... hi, meh! Luche Hime, Princess Luche!!

I recognized that it was my name that was increasingly being called. Yes, I'm Luche Lina Ristil. First child of the Duke of War, the Duke of Listil.

Who's calling me?

Still, my eyes are blurred and I can't see very well. Or dark. I can see everything and something orange. Candles?

"Ugh..."

"Princess Luche!

Who is this voice? Count? Joshua?

Gradually, the eyelids are peeled off.

"Joshua?"

Joshua was right in front of me.

"That's right. Are you all right, Princess Luche"

Joshua laughed relieved.

No, no, no.
