Karen finished thinking.

You have to do what you can. There is no possibility that he can get out of here. And this time again, he will die. But it's okay. You can start again even if it's a waste. Raymond may be depressed, but this is not the end. And Karen decided to be friends with Isella in this life.

"Get up, Isela."

“…….”

Isela could hardly come to her senses.

But you have to wake him up. Karen had to talk to Isela before he came in, as long as she knew where the place was. Karen raised her hand high. You'll be fine, right? I couldn't help it when I didn't get up Karen called again though.

"Isela."

“…….”

Pair!

Karen slapped Isella on the cheek. A cheerful sound of blow echoed through the room. Karen seemed a little relieved.

But this was not for revenge, but for waking up. Karen raised her hand again, reflecting on that. You have to get up. Isela is only moaning and can't open her eyes properly.

Pair!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Get up."

Isela grabbed her cheek and opened her eyes. And when I saw Karen in front of me, I asked incredibly.

"…carren?"

"Yes. Wake up."

"Did you hit me?"

"Yes."

Isela coughed as if she was amazing, but she jumped up before Karen raised her hand again.

"You crazy... how can I....”

"Look back."

"Why did you hit me?"

"Get a hold of yourself. I need you to figure out where we are."

It took a long time to recover Isela, who was about to faint again. Isela tried to put the bubble back into the water again. It was only after Karen slapped Isela on the cheek several times that she was able to fix her eyes. Isela was shaking like a pig.

"Hey, where am I....”

I caught Isela trying to burst into tears. If you cry here, there's no answer.

"Don't cry and listen carefully. Now we've been kidnapped, and we'll probably die here if nothing special happens. I admit that there is a low probability of living. Got it?"

"…hehehehehe."

"But I'm trying to find a way to live."

Isela nodded while shaking her head.

"First, pretend to faint again. I'll negotiate with the owner of the room as much as I can, so run away as soon as you get the chance. And if....”

Would it be good to tell Isella the story of Raymond? Should I ask him to come save himself? Karen shook her head thinking. I thought it would be better for both to kill themselves sooner than to do so.

It's all right. Leave the people of this life to live, and Raymond and himself can quickly start over again.

"If you succeed in running out, live well. And when my father comes to find me, I just treat him as missing. Can you do that for me?”

"What about you, Karen?"

"I can't go out.”

Karen shook her head. I'm not really sure about sending out Isela safely. This room is Prince Gwizu's space. There will be his people around here, too. But I think I'll be able to do it somehow. For example, instead of sending Isella, she stays alone.

A single person can die quickly. Rather than pinning hopes on Raymond coming to save him, it is more efficient to hit his head in the oven and kill himself quickly and move on to his next life.

Then I heard footsteps in the distance. We don't have much time. A person is coming.

"…Icella, what were you going to say then?”

"What?"

"Didn't you try to tell me something?"

"That's…."

At that moment, a voice came from outside the door.

"I'm sure you'll like it."

You're late.

Damn it. Karen shaved Isela's head and buried herself in the sofa.

"I'm pretending to faint quietly. Never open your eyes."

rattle,

The thick door opens. Karen swallowed her saliva while watching it.

I feel a sense of deja vu. I open that door and think about when Raymond came in. Of course it's not him who's beyond that door now. It's just one failed bookmark for my mother.

a middle-aged man

a powerful man in this country an ex-man of one's mother Lunatic.

Prince Gwiz looked down at Karen with an unknown face.

"…I don't know what else this is. Didn't you tie it up?"

"I'm sorry."

"That's ridiculous. Fill it up right now."

"Yes."

The man tied Karen and Isela's hands and feet. Isela's body, which closed its eyes and pretended to faint desperately, trembled weakly, but fortunately no one seemed to notice. Because Karen kept talking.

"Do I have to tie myself up?"

"I hate to be bothered.”

Prince Gwiz loved to see people crying, blowing, fainting, or screaming in the room. Sometimes there were people who laughed out of their minds. Those who enter this room will not survive. The bodies hanging in the dark room were a common guess.

But the red-haired woman in front of her eyes sat still and looked up at him in a comfortable position. Prince Gwiz asked Kane with his head tilted.

"Did she pay for it?"

That's the only conclusion I've got. Where did he pay for it, explain it, and bring it back? But Kane shook his head.

"No, I couldn't help it because I saw it."

"It's just my personality, Your Highness Prince Gwiz.

"…Ha."

Prince Gwiz looked down at Kane next to him. A woman who knows his name. A nobleman. Kane's face turned white. He made a wrong choice even if he kidnapped him. Kane was envious of Ruth who died first.

Crown Prince Gwiz did not like the object that could be a hindrance. He knew how to distinguish public from hobby. But of all things. Kane clenched his teeth.

I should have just let the women go. If so, even if a report is made that the body was found, it would be over.

"Let the person next to him leave. There's something I want to tell you."

Prince Gwiz wiggled his eyebrows.

"You know me and you have the guts."

"I won't be able to get out anyway. Are you afraid of me?"

Although it was a provocation that seemed trivial, Crown Prince Gwiz let his servant go out with a chin gesture. The man groveled out, but that didn't mean there was a gap.

"To tell you one thing, there are dozens outside the door."

"And this is the basement."

"Did you come to your senses when you were being dragged?"

"No, I've come from my previous life, Your Grace."

"…that's not a very funny joke.

Prince Gwiz turned to Karen and moved to the wall. Then he pushed the key into the furniture next to the stove. Then he took out some relatively small hooks and knives from it. Karen knew last time that the gap between him and the current prince was greater than she thought.

'It's definitely different than before.’

Instead of killing Karen, Crown Prince Gwiz wanted to release his lust and kill Prince Louis.

But now, Gwiz seemed to have no idea about himself. He and Isela came here because they were unlucky. Unlike before, he regarded Karen as one of his ingredients. Be prepared to do his work calmly and not excited.

"Let's slowly find out who you are."

Prince Gwiz slightly smiled as he tapped Karen on the head.

"I'm very frustrated because I don't have a hobby these days. And your face... It's quite my taste."

Prince Gwizu's eyes glistened.

Karen opened her mouth.

"I'm sure. I look just like my mother.”

"I see. Say thank you to your mother. I'll cut your face out."

Prince Gwiz looked in a hurry.

Karen closed her eyes slightly and opened them.

"My mother talked a lot about you."

"…who is your mother?"

"Catherine Nora Enid."

Prince Gwiz stood up.

His face is strangely distorted. It's a name that he never expected.

"…it's a coincidence."

"It's a coincidence."

Prince Gwiz covered his mouth.

And walked in the room. It was to calm his thoughts and excitement. I was covering my mouth, but I saw a tearful smile between my fingers. He looked so happy now. The whimpering and laughing sound was heard quietly.

"I've got a lot to say. Catherine, it's Catherine. Yes, it's already been 17 years...I can't believe I'm so happy. Ha, ha, ha. That's funny."

"Yes. My mother....”

Catherine thought desperately of Catherine. Now I had to think about anything to distract Prince Gwiz. What did Catherine say about Prince Gwiz?

However, no information came to Karen's mind. Prince Gwiz stood in front of Karen while Karen was agonizing.

"What did Catherine say about me?"

"If you want to hear more, I have a condition."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to let you go."

"I thought so."

Karen nodded her head.

It was the difference between dying right now or risking one's life. Prince Gwiz will never release himself.

"Save her, not me."

"Not even that."

Karen tightened her head.

"Then I won't say a word about my mother."

"There are quite a few ways to get answers from people."

Prince Gwiz took a dagger close to Karen and whispered. The cloth on the chest was torn like a sheet of paper on a sharp day. Karen's breastbone was revealed and some blood flowed in between. It stings. Karen said with a grimace.

"I don't expect to live, but I'm not afraid to die. I know he won't survive this."

Karen took a deep breath.

Let's think it over. In the past, Prince Gwiz said, 'I wonder if you're old, too.' You too. Karen chewed back on what he said. Perhaps Catherine told Prince Gwiz that she was coming back to life.

"My mother didn't tell me about her life again."

“…….”

"You probably didn't believe it."

Prince Gwiz kept his mouth shut.

The excitement subsides and the expression is distorted. Karen looks up at his face.

"Don't you think that your mother's refusal was not afraid of death. My mother and I are not afraid of that."

He dared to reject the royal offer.

Even if a man is strong or rich, there is a danger that a woman refuses his affection. This is because the affection spoken by men who are showy is often accompanied by violence.

It would not have been strange for a man as Prince Gwiz to have killed a woman and her parents and children who dared to refuse him. But he eventually let Catherine get married and see her children. He didn't kill him after all.

"In this life, I'm determined to end my life in this room. But please listen to this. Just throw her back where she came from."

"I think it would be good for you to have a comrade."

"I don't want to share my mother's story with anyone else."

And Karen looked up at him with a little teary eyes.

"To be honest, I'm a shy person.”

"…Ha."

"I know you won't treat me like a daughter."

"You're trying so hard.”

Prince Gwiz pressed between the chests he had hurt. Karen groaned weakly. The pain came up. I could feel Isella shivering behind Karen.

"I know the woman behind me is awake.”

“…….”

"Huh, haha."

Karen knew only then that Isela was not pretending to be sleeping properly. I told you to pretend to faint.
