Chapter 45 – Walking
There was no change. Violetta, who tried to sneak out of the imperial capital, was captured and taken to the imperial palace.
“…….”
Back in the bedroom, Violetta lay down on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.
What I was trying to do failed, but strangely, I didn’t feel too bad about it.
Perhaps it was because he had already resigned himself to the matter of escape. He didn’t expect much anyway, and it was something he did impulsively without a big plan.
When he asks why he did this when he didn’t even expect it…… In fact, she herself couldn’t answer for sure.
Maybe she just wanted to prove it.
The fact that she had n’t yet surrendered deep in her heart.
To that man…… No, to yourself.
Decisions are easily shaken. If it’s just a thought, it’s overturned at any time. However, if you leave it as an action and a record, you can always remember that moment and use it as an unshakable milestone.
Perhaps that was the intention. What she suddenly and meaninglessly attempted to escape was.
Sometimes the action comes first, and the thought supports it belatedly.
Smart.
Then, I heard someone knocking on the door.
“Your Highness, I brought you a meal.”
It was Clara’s voice in her. Violetta, who was quietly searching for the rationality and legitimacy of what she had done today, replied in a low voice, “Come in.”
A movable tray filled with layers of food was visible through the softly opened door.
Clara placed her food neatly on the table and walked out of her room.
Violetta thought as she looked at her plates in front of her eyes.
‘…… Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I’ve been eating in my room.’
I haven’t had a meal with anyone lately.
No, actually, she had been sick with that guy a few times, but she didn’t even want to count that. It is an unpleasant experience and a memory.
Except for him, I had always eaten alone for the past few months.
When I was not working, I usually ate with my family. Moving her spoon and spoon, Violetta suddenly felt a deep sense of loneliness.
There was a gloomy atmosphere in the room where I was left alone.
My hungry stomach was somehow filled, but the empty space in my heart was still empty.
‘Isn’t that man coming today?’
After she finished eating, she thought as she prepared to go to sleep. Since she was trying to get out of the living area that was allowed to her, he must have tried to punish the man’s personality of her.
He was worried that he might be brutally raped again, but the man didn’t come until he was ready to get into bed.
Dawn Violetta rubbed her weary eyes, and around she fell asleep late.
***
The next morning, a cold wind blows in, as if I had forgotten to close the window the night before.
“Ugh…….”
Violetta shivered from the cold and lifted her eyelids.
Waking from her slumber, she straightened her body and felt her sudden gaze on her from the side of the bed.
Flinch!
The rest of her body her trembled in surprise at the sudden presence of her.
I slowly rolled my eyes and saw the man staring at me.
“…… !”
Surprised, Violetta hurriedly straightened her disheveled clothes and pulled her body back.
She had gone to sleep in her lighter-than-usual nightgown, not even wearing her underwear. Her nipples, erect from the cold, were visible through her nightgown. Violetta hunched over her chest to keep her clothes from sticking to her body, pointing at the man.
“You, what are you? Why are you watching the face of a sleeping person…… ?”
It’s been like that before, but this time it broke into a sleeping person’s room…… !
Maybe something happened while you were sleeping. Violetta got goosebumps and wrapped herself in a hug.
The man shrugged his shoulders once, as if he was not interested, and then opened his mouth saying it was nothing.
“I heard you left the imperial palace yesterday?”
“Ah.”
In the midst of the excitement, the topic he brought up awakened Violetta. My mind, which had not yet been awake and had been sleepy, became clear and clear in an instant.
A moment of silence passed, and Violetta put on a calm expression.
“…… But what? What, are you trying to reprimand me?”
However, no matter how much she pretended to be feminine, she couldn’t hide the slight trembling in her voice.
If you’re going to punish me, give it to me. It must have been that kind of mindset until yesterday.
She was a person, and no matter how much she prepared herself, she couldn’t just sit there casually. When the situation comes to a close, rather than the firm determination of yesterday, I start by worrying about what kind of bizarre thing will happen this time.
The man snorted a small snort at her ridiculous appearance.
“It’s even like a reprimand.”
“…… ?”
“When I think about it, I wonder if I’ve been confining you too much all this time. I guess I did a little bit of self-reflection last night.”
“Regret……?”
A strange sound hit Violetta’s ears. It’s a reflection It was a word I thought I would never hear in my life.
As I was blankly trying to guess what my intention was to suddenly say such a thing, the man continued.
“Since you seem to want to go outside, I’m thinking of taking a small walk today.”
“…… ‘Walk’?”
It came suddenly in the morning.
I’m going for a walk.
A strange ominous feeling is felt in everyday words.
Before Violetta could answer her question, her man urged her on.
“So I’ve been waiting since morning after getting ready to go out. Change your clothes quickly too. The sun is already mid-heaven.”
“…….”
Maybe that’s why she’s been waiting for herself to wake up since the morning. Going out for a walk together?
More and more he becomes suspicious of his intentions.
An unprecedented feeling of uneasiness ran up her spine.
What the hell will happen if we go out for a walk together like this? Did you even decorate the road to hell outside?
“What are you doing? I want you to change quickly.”
As always, there seemed to be no choice. Even if I dragged my time like this, that man would try to drag me away even by force.
Exhaling her long sigh, Violetta answered in a voice that crawled over and over again.
“…… I’ll change into street clothes, so stay out.”
“Are you leaving?”
“You can’t change where you are.”
“Of course you have to change in front of me, right? All over again.”
“What……?”
Violetta asked. But the man just stared at her without saying a word. It was a look in his eyes that made me say something obvious, without any shaking. She seemed unwilling to bend her will in the slightest.
“Ha…”
…… Now, this atrocity is not surprising. This is the level of aegyo. Eventually she gave up and started undressing her.
I could hear the soft rustling of clothes against my skin.
She was only wearing one layer of thin dress-like pajamas.
It didn’t take long to finish undressing.
Her moderately swollen breasts and large hips were revealed.
Violetta glanced at her man who was scanning her own body with her strained eyes, then moved on to her closet her.
Then her man stopped her.
“Once you’ve changed, let’s leave.”
“…… I can’t see? I haven’t even worn her underwear yet, let alone street clothes.”
“Okay, let’s go out like that.”
“…… ?”
Violetta didn’t understand and blinked her eyes.
She lowered her gaze to examine her own body her.
A naked body without a single thread.
What did that bastard just say?
Let’s go for a walk with her in this state…… ?
“What. My, did I get it wrong?”
“I understood what.”
“Ah, going for a walk naked…….”
“I got it right. Don’t procrastinate, move quickly.”
The man pulled Violetta’s hand roughly.
Violetta stopped screaming at her.
“Kyaaak?!”
She hurriedly reached her hand into her nightgown on her floor. It was to put on at least one layer of thin pajamas.
But her pull was too strong.
Before she could pick up her clothes, Violetta was helplessly dragged by the man’s hand.
Bang!
The door closes.
Holding her hand, she stood in her hallway, huddled in her naked body.
I felt a cold chill.
The cold air hit my skin without any covering.
Her body trembled from the cold.
The man took out something and handed it to Violetta.
“Wear it. It is enchanted with magic to block the cold. If you put it around your neck, it will get warm enough.”
It was a necklace inlaid with large jewels.
When I took it with both hands and hung it around my neck, I really couldn’t feel the cold air.
When her coldness subsided, Violetta finally understood the situation she was in.
…… This was no mere walk.
In short, punishment for what was done yesterday.
Strolling the streets naked was the price of a short outing.
“Don’t worry. If you don’t be loud, people won’t think it’s strange.”
The man added briefly.
Violetta’s face became devastated.
