Chapter 68

Chapter 68

It’s pitch black … I can’t see anything.

There is no sense of time. How much time has passed, I don’t even know.

I touched the ring that Allen had given me and the hair ornament that Her majesty had given me to calm my mind and believe that we would meet again.

But, when bread and water, the only things that are occasionally offered, the words they say pierces my heart.

“Your father is dead. He protested against your abduction to the crown, so it seems they executed your whole family as traitors.”

……It’s a lie. There is no way that can happen.

“The war has started because you refused to marry. If you had done your duty as a noblewoman, your people and your soldiers wouldn’t have died. Now, Bruseni is almost under the control of the Empire.” (Tl:- in their dreams.)

……I put myself later for my people. But they….

“Oh, by the way, I heard the man you love has died in the war? It seems he got stabbed in the stomach with a spear.”

“That!”

No! It’s a lie! There’s no way that Allen will end up that way.

“If you hadn’t been in his life, that man wouldn’t have died. Oh, poor soul.”

It’s a lie! It’s a lie! It’s a lie!

“It’s your fault, isn’t it? If it weren’t for you, that man would still be alive and living happily ever after.”

Allen? It’s….. a lie, isn’t it? Allen?

“Ahh”

Allen…….

Since then, that guy has not come to tell me anything.

Allen…….

How much time has passed now?

It’s still pitch black. But I feel like there’s someone out there.

Is that ….Allen?

“Allen?”

I thought I saw Allen’s face there, but it quickly disappeared.

“Hey. Allen? Don’t go. Hey, didn’t you come to protect me? Hey, Allen?”

But my voice only echoes in the darkness.

That’s right. There was no way Allen could be at the center of such an enemy nation.

This is a hallucination.

I touched the precious ring on my left ring finger and thought of Allen.

“Hey, Allen?”

No one, nothing, answers.

I’m….alone…

It seems bread and water were put in.

I grabble and touched the usual place.

However, what touched my hand was not the usual bread or cup but a hard stick-like object.

“What? What is this?”

At that moment, something flowed into me.

I was so startled that I hurriedly tried to take my hand away, but my right hand was sucked onto the stick so tightly that I couldn’t get it off!

The next thing I know, it’s cold, lonely, and I’m not needed by anyone.

For some reason, such feelings spring up.

No! I have a family! And above all! Allen!

But at a time like this, what they said comes back to me.

Your father, your mother, and your brother were executed.

Allen was stabbed in the stomach with a spear and died in battle.

For some reason, the scene came to my mind as a real image, and I desperately denied that it was wrong.

But it kept coming back to me, and the bad images that popped into my head kept growing and growing.

I….already….from anyone…?

“Ah … wrong… I…I…”

I touch my hair ornament with my free left hand and prayed to my precious ring to reject the bad image.

But despite my desperate efforts to resist, my consciousness was slowly being consumed by fear, little by little, until it was filled in.

I……refuse…….

All…en…help…me…
