Episode 175

Elisha remembered it like a dream. But when I think about that day several times. The conclusion was one.

'Lucerne was crazy for a while. Perhaps……. You might have noticed that I was thinking of dying with him. So you tried to appease me Or maybe it was just a whim.'

Elisha kissed him first. She didn't know where she got her courage. She was really prepared for death anyway. There was nothing to be afraid of now.

Then, Lucerne laid her body on Elisha. It happened on a thick blanket in a damp, dirty underground passage.

The first experience was tight. But he……. Throughout the act, he did not let go of Elisha's body.

Not only her lower body, but also her knuckles, which had been pinched too tightly, ached. But I also felt full. Every joint and every joint in her body seemed to be reconstructed, and it was as if her soul had flowed and hardened again.

Lucerne soon fell asleep again. And she didn't wake up again for a long time.

'Ah, the tattoo……. Hurt…….'

She didn't even have time to say goodbye to him.

When Elisha came out of the secret passage, the world was already turned upside down.

Elisha was no fool either. She cheated on Jacob. She pretended to be away for a few days because she was working on the secret ledger given to her by the head of household. On the contrary, she said that Jacob had an urgent errand for Gazoo.

But fortunately, the lie was not exposed for several days.

The Duke family was turned upside down by not finding Lucerne's body. Jacob, of course, didn't even care about Elisha.

And the moment Jacob realized Elisha was missing, he stimulated her tracking tattoo. When Jacob found Elisha's location, she left the secret passage and was inside the Duchy.

'This crazy bitch does everything, do you want to die?'

Jacob brought Elisha to her knees and screamed at her.

'Where and what did you do for a few days?'

Elisha bit her lip tightly.

Carola said she knew Elisha was missing, but she had a sting so she couldn't tell Jacob. Carola looked at Elisha with ghastly hatred.

'Hey, Jacob. That's not important. Don't you have something important to say to Elisha?'

Elisha also belonged to the world that turned upside down in a matter of days. Jacob was in a difficult situation. Drug trafficking was discovered. He was determined to put the blame on Elisha.

'You must pay for my sins. Elisha.'

Okay. That was the beginning and end of everything.

*​ *​ *​

Elisha felt the warm sunlight. She was now lying on a long chair. As she moved her legs, her shackles creaked.

A few days ago, Lucerne's interrogation failed.

'Me……. I saw a vision.'

Lucerne interrogated Elisha. The interrogation using her shadow is the memory of her past life. Even the part that was incompletely blank until now came to mind. Elisha had to face the past.

The thing that kidnapped Lucerne and tried to die together. And what happened after that……. Elisha stroked her heart, as was her habit. Her heart skipped a beat every time the bloody white cloth occupied her head.

'Stop interrogation. She thought that Lucerne would never look after her.'

Lucerne said nothing when Elisha opened her eyes. She later told Sophie what had happened that night.

'Lady……. How worried I was He screamed all night and tried to bang his head against the wall. Later, he ran to me, dressed the mistress, and tied me to the bed.'

'I……. You said that?'

'Yes. Besides, he stole the sword of the general and tried to harm himself.HeheThis Sophie is so upset……. I'm sorry……. It's because I don't usually serve them well.'

Elisha didn't really remember.

Just seeing that her lucerne still keeps her alive. She could only guess that she hadn't divulged everything, since she didn't ask about her past life either.

Elisha became extremely silent after that day. She just had no idea. She behaved obediently as Lucerne desired.

But she had no appetite at all, and every meal was a struggle. Now she even scooped up her meals when Lucerne was in her basement.

Then he washed himself. If he lies down, he lies; if he sits, he sits. If he doesn't say anything, she shuts her up too, Elisha. There was nothing difficult about her.

'Sometimes there are times when I don't remember.'

Elisha frowned. These days she sometimes has her head blank and often has no memory for 10 or 20 minutes. Could it be that Lucerne is really doing something to me?

But she didn't seem to be like that.

Rather, Lucerne was strange these days. Lucerne was extremely careful when dealing with her, as if handling her glass.

'Why is that person acting like this these days?'

When did Lucerne change? She thought about the starting point.

Not too long ago, Lucerne came in at dawn. Elisha senses his presence, she gets up and she trips as she gets out of bed. Then she burned her calf on the brazier by the bed.

It was always warm in her room, even in the winter, but last night it was exceptionally cold, so she asked Sophie to add an extra stove. The brazier was spherical, so it heated easily.

It was hot. Elisha couldn't even let her scream out loud and bit her lip. It was because she was momentarily dizzy.

Elisha said it was the first time she had seen Lucerne so restless. The doctor came at dawn and the priest visited the next morning. Lucerne saw every detail of how they treated Elisha.

Elisha also hated her burn scars, so she was a little uneasy. Fortunately, priests and doctors completely healed her wounds.

Lucerne stared blankly at Elisha's calf. It wasn't until much later that she realized that his hands were shaking.

“Don't worry, they say it leaves no blemishes on the body,” She said. Will there be any problems with having sex?”

Elisha said calmly. She didn't care as long as it didn't really leave a blemish. Lucerne said nothing.

From then on, each and every item used by Elisha was subject to Lucerne's inspection.

'Do you think I'm crazy?'

But wasn't it Lucerne who acted in such a way that she didn't care if Elisha went crazy or broke.

'Or maybe I've done that too many times and I'm sick of it.'

He was even abstaining from sexual intercourse. When Elisha first undressed her one day, he dressed her and covered her with a blanket.

Even when Lucerne was away, she could come up to the first floor and sunbathe for an hour a day.

All the curtains in her hallway were drawn as she moved to this room. Sophie glanced at the curtains in the blink of an eye. Every window had an iron bar.

'Madam, there are knights patrolling outside, so give up. That would be good for you. The general told me so.'

Said Sophie hesitantly. Elisha let her pulse go out. She didn't even have the will to run away anyway.

The room where Elisha basked in the sunlight was a room with part of the wall made of glass. It seemed like a room that was originally built for the purpose of a greenhouse and lighting.

It was obviously a first floor, but it was a structure that made me wonder how it was designed. Besides, even though the weather is quite cold now, it was always warm. Every space where Elisha lives was always maintaining a constant temperature.

'Since when has this room been built?'

A room on the first floor prepared by Lucerne. There was no one near the room. Beyond the window, I could see only trees and a high wall.

In addition, there was a very small artificial pond in the room, and five-colored fish were swimming in it. There was the constant sound of babbling water.

Around it were flower beds with fresh flowers growing. The fence around the flower beds was golden. The room was entirely white, and the walls and corners were decorated with gold.

Spending time in that room, basking in the sunlight, sitting on a red silk-covered long chair at the end of the room, my breath was freed.

'It's pretty good. What does it have to do with me?'

Elisha wasn't angry anymore and she was helpless in everything. After all, Lucerne and her were similar types of people. Elisha from her previous life also had a crush on Lucerne, so she almost killed him.

'But he has power, I don't. Because your position is always high and I am low.'

So in fact, Elisha had nothing to say even if she was in a worse situation. But Lucerne was treating her relatively mildly.

No matter how it ends

She looked down at her own legs. Lucerne's doubts did not disappear. Even when she was out in the sun for just one hour a day, he thus kept her in her shackles.

But now I don't even feel insulted. I'll release it when I go down anyway. Maybe we should learn to enjoy this limited freedom.

But right now, even the perception of reality was tiring. Elisha rested her neck comfortably on the cushion on top of her chair.

The day of her previous life came to mind. Memories from her previous life landed on Elisha without warning and only came off after hitting her painfully.

'I love you. I love it.'

Elisha in her previous life imprisoned Lucerne.

But when Lucerne came to her senses a few days later, she realized that she couldn't kill him.

No, she didn't know from the start that it might have been an excuse. She is willing to pay with her life to steal her days with him. Maybe that was the essence.

'Really sorry. I'll let you go. I was stupid. I'm sorry.'

That day. Lucerne found her conscious and apparently wanted Elisha.

However, Elisha thought he had developed symptoms of delirium. And that guess wasn't wrong.

Jacob had a very expensive and pretty horse. The horse was stronger and larger than the others. Moreover, in the sunlight, her hair shone a subtle shade of gold and pink. In addition, he has won several competitions.

'Hee, heeik, what is this!'

After Elisha returns to Jacob's side. She was a few days later. Jacob was only waiting for the news of Lucerne's death.

But he didn't die. As soon as he returned to health, he began to take revenge on Cartier who tried to kill him.

The prized horse that Jacob had left in his country house was found in Carola's bed. The horse's neck had been cut.

His horse had bitten his tongue and was dead. Blood from the huge horse's head stained Carola's bed. There was blood all the way to the floor.

And in the horse's mouth.

'Ahhh…….'

Elisha's underwear had been bitten. It was something that Elisha had left by Lucerne.

Elisha was shocked. If she was caught again by Lucerne, she might die, she thought. He took this even as a trap and ridicule from Jacob.

Her memories of her after that time were really sparse, and Elisha seems to have gone insane ever since.
