Breathe in thoughtfully. All of a sudden the lungs filled with air, and I snapped.
My heart is beating badly. Sweat gushed out of my forehead.
It was hard...
Whatever. How could I suddenly be unable to breathe? My throat and eyes were sore, and I couldn't breathe, so I thought I'd die. Besides Zaku with something on his back! They finally hit me--
"Ma'am! Please don't!
Suddenly Teresa's voice comes down and she goes home to me forever.
There was a pillar in front of me, and at some point I stuck to it.
Looking back, there are Teresa and the three maids trying to rip me off the pillar. It was a familiar sight.
It's not a dream. Really, I 'm--
"Mind you! This is the first night of our important marriage..."
"Wow, I get it. I'm going to make a big deal out of you, guys, just get away from me for once."
The samurai face to face, yet reluctantly hands away from me. I also slowly move away from the pillars to avoid stirring up the vigilance of the ladies. And Teresa and I looked around at the three faces.
"Guys, are you okay? Is there anything that hurts?
"Huh? Yeah. Strongly, my arm hurts because I pulled the lady."
There are no scratches or other abnormalities found in Teresa, who trivially returns disgust. Nor did the other three seem particularly pale.
"Good......"
Less breath of relief leaks.
I walked loosely and sat down in the chair in front of the mirror table. Anyway, I wanted to sit down, calm down and gather my thoughts.
... convinced. I'm looping through this night's time. This is the third time.
The first time, Brother Tris took me and threw me into the master bedroom and ended with someone stabbing me in the belly and chest. The second time, I suddenly suffered from inhaling something like poison gas and fell to the floor, (maybe) stabbing me in the back and ending.
Whatever the difference between deployment, it's the same beginning and end. The loop begins where I am clinging to the pillar, and finally I move on to the next loop again by dying.
How could this happen? Some kind of curse? Or magic?
I have no idea what caused it, but at least I'm not sure it's like a dream or an illusion.
The feeling of stabbing, the pain, it's all real. I've been dead twice already.
"Suddenly I thought I was starting to make a scene, and suddenly I was grown up, so what happened?"
Put your hand on my shoulder as Teresa looks worried. The warmth of his hand soared his chest.
"It's sweaty, my face is earthy... Is something wrong?"
"That's not what it is. Just give me a break."
I wonder how terrible you look. Because of this, I grew up, and the three samurai are silently asking me how this is going.
It's been a hell of a thing. There are people in this castle tonight who are after my life. Even though that alone sucks, it even produces a monstrous phenomenon in which time is rewinded when you die.
There's nothing strange about what's going on around me. I'm probably the only one who remembers being rewound.
Who the hell is the killer? My face was covered in black cloth and I couldn't confirm it, but that physique is clearly a man. I can also tell from the unhesitant sword muscle and body texture that it is quite hands-on.
Yet it must be a shady, tiny personality to use poison as well.
The most suspicious -- needless to say, the Lord of that master bedroom, the Duke of Cruzeld Vlage. He's famous for being a fairly skilled swordsman, and he's the only person in that room who can wait for my arrival.
If there were any other killers, if they were bad, they'd be bowling with the Duke.
I'm sure the Duke hated marrying me and tried to make me a deceased. No, actually, I was made a deceased.
If that's the case, I'm so angry. This marriage was definitely requested by the Duke's family. And yet I'm selfish enough to kill the actual bride because she was expecting a hassle. Besides, I can't believe you even put your hands on Teresa and the samurai...!
All right, first suspect confirmed in the Duke. He definitely makes me cry.
The question of what the hell is this loop of death is swirling, but let's not think about it. I don't know how much I thought about it. Now I have to think about surviving anyway.
Well, this castle is the root castle of the prime suspect. The only people I can believe are Teresa and Brother Tris.
The samurai that came with me today were eating the convolutions and although they can be removed from the list of suspects, they cannot be trusted completely.
Anyway, if you want help, there's only Brother Tris who can fight.
"Teresa. Where is Brother Tris now?
"What? Uh... Sure, it should be the guest room..."
"Yeah. Then let's go there."
Quickly I get up. Then Harriet, the samurai, stood in front of the exit.
"... Dear Cattleya. Didn't you mean to run away?
Grr.
Harrier is a powerful or intimidating figure among the three samurai. When she presses me with no expression, I get a little dizzy.
I answered slowly, though upset.
"I'm not running away. So today I'm going to be a Duke too? I want to say hello to my brother."
……
"Talk to your brother and we'll head to the master bedroom. It's true."
Harrier looks at me for a while. Seems very suspicious.
I can't help it. Until now, a woman clinging to a pillar saying she didn't like marriage suddenly grows up and listens to what she says. Something's wrong with me trusting you lightly here.
"Fine. … but not until you're done."
That said, Harrier retreated from the front of the door.
I sat down in front of the mirror table, following her words, even though I wanted to go to my brother now. It's quicker to have it just ready than to go against it poorly here.
In fact, preparations were quickly completed by the cooperative play of the samurai when they were being adulterated. Because of his pale complexion, unlike the second time, he has a red cheek sticking in his cheek.
"Then Ines. Take your wife to her family room, then take her to her master bedroom."
"Yes."
"What's Harrier going to do now?
He never thought he'd ask me that. Harrier raised her eyebrows just a little bit.
"I plan on cleaning up my room easily and taking a rest when Ines gets back. … If there's anything I can do for you after this, I'll take it."
"No, no, I don't have anything to ask of you.... ah. just one"
I forgot the important instructions.
"That no one is allowed inside until Ines returns. If it's the Duke or Serenia or Deacon Farrow, never. So, don't stay long when Ines returns. Dismissed immediately. All right?
"... Yes, sir."
While acknowledging, Harrier had a strange look on his face, surprised by the strange instructions.
