Chapter 6 – Incarceration
Violetta continued walking down the aisle.
In the meantime, Liam’s reaction kept her getting stuck in her mind and making her heart suffocate.
What do you mean you don’t care about it?
Where there is a stimulus, there is a response. When someone talks to you, even if you don’t answer, there will be a reaction to the extent that your body flinches or your gaze turns toward it.
However, the reaction Liam had just seen was quite unusual. It was a reaction that made no sense unless Violetta was not seen at all. Could it be that the man’s hand reached out to Liam as well? Then he to his entourage who was next to him?
Even though they were half-brothers and rivals who had been constantly fighting since birth, they were a family with blood mixed at least half way. It was a relationship that was worse than others at times, but it wasn’t that there was no bond at all. In short, it was like love and hate.
Moreover, Violetta was in a state of being crowded. Whether it was a competitor or something, they needed something they could share affection with each other. Thinking that the man’s brainwashing had reached Liam too, he couldn’t help but worry.
Somehow, the air is a bit stuffy. It’s been a long time since I’ve been out of the room, but I didn’t feel the slightest bit of refreshment. Today, the hallway felt more empty and insidious.
After walking for a while, another figure approached from the other side.
It was a girl about a hand shorter than Violetta himself, with curly golden hair hanging down her back.
Violetta recognized the girl at a glance from afar.
‘Ellie!’
This time, too, she was her kinsman her.
If there is one thing different from the Liam I met earlier, Ellie is her complete family her, having the same mother as her her.
Ellie, who was born later than other members of the royal family, had a relatively good relationship with her siblings her from an early age because she was not very interested in her successor competition her.
In particular, he had maintained a close relationship with Violetta, who had the same mother as hers, and often joked with her.
Violetta’s face her had a very welcome expression. She took her stride and drew closer to her own sister. Her nostalgic face hadn’t changed a bit from before.
‘No, it’s only been a week.’
After all, it was a time when her face changed and there was nothing to do. It seems that the sense of date has been messed up. Well, it’s worth it. I didn’t even notice the change of day and night, so I stayed in my bedroom.
Violetta felt a bit bitter as she put her sister’s name on her lips.
“Ellie! It’s been a while.”
“…….”
“Ellie…?”
“…….”
Violetta shut her mouth. Her voice her rang out hollowly. No answer came back, and Ellie was unsteady as if she couldn’t hear Violetta’s voice in her.
I didn’t even ask for great hospitality. But what the hell is this insipid appearance? Violetta felt a strange sense of deja vu at the reaction, which was quite different from her expectations of her. Also anxiety.
‘No way.’
Worst guess I’ve ever had. Violetta felt a momentary loss of strength in her legs. In the meantime, Ellie passed Violetta and walked away. On the other side, Violetta stood and stared blankly at Ellie’s back as she walked away from her.
It was her Ellie her who always welcomed her with her bright and lively personality her. I couldn’t understand that indifferent reaction at all. It hit her harder than when she was ignored by Liam.
Violetta bit her lip hard.
I shook my head to shake off the negative emotions. There was no time to stop. Liam and Ellie. She had only met the two of them yet, but Violetta already seemed to know how things were going. So she had to meet other people first. We have to meet up and check it out. No way, maybe, maybe, and her uneasy assumptions slowly began to eat away at her.
The scenery of the imperial palace was quiet. Somehow, it didn’t seem like people were walking around too much. Violetta hurried on her way. It took quite a while before she met the next person. And the meeting after a long patience passed by in an instant like a mirage. The parting was brief. Like Liam and Ellie, when she said hello, she didn’t even accept it.
“Sir John.”
Her entourage her too.
“…… Ariel.”
Another brother too.
She ignored Violetta as if everyone was trying to make fun of her.
Her heart pounded madly at her anxious heart her, and a little bit of her blood her leaked from her chewed lips her.
‘Yet, more others…….’
As if reflecting her nervous emotions in her, Violetta’s pace gradually began to speed up. She seemed to have to find out who she was. There’s no way everyone in her place can’t see her. No matter how much he is, isn’t that really nonsense. If that’s possible, you’re no longer human. That kind of thing was no different from a god in fact.
Violetta decided to go out a little further. Since no one else is paying her attention her, she decides to try to get her attention her from her side her this time.
Her steps her headed toward her destination her without hesitation.
Moments later, Violetta stood in front of a door. What lies beyond is a space where she greets her ministers and discusses the country’s great and small affairs. It would be a great disrespect for even a member of the royal family to rush in without a message.
The meeting should be in full swing by now. She wanted to be sure, even if she would be scolded. Violetta hurriedly opened the door without taking a deep breath.
Inside, many people gathered and exchanged conversations. All of them were only the great leaders of the empire.
“His Majesty’s recent illness…….”
“They say there is a severe famine in the southern provinces. How much aid should be sent…….”
“Looks like barbarians are another problem in the North. There may be a request for support, so I think I need to prepare in advance…….”
Everyone seemed intent on talking to each other.
Violetta crossed the scene of the conversation head-on. It was a bold act that no one could help but pay attention to. If she had a high position and was a loyalist who was good at remonstrating, she really had nothing to say even if she shouted in the face.
“…….”
Violetta stood in the middle of her conference room and waited calmly.
Time passed, but she had no one to offer advice.
There wasn’t even a barely there to speak her mouth her.
No, she didn’t even have anyone to talk to.
Everyone in her room treated Violetta as if she had no one.
Her eyes widened once.
Suddenly, in a hurry, she bangs her desk impulsively! She hit down
Things like papers and writing instruments that were on top were shocked and shaken, and some of them fell to the floor.
“Is the table tilted? You are not in good spirits.”
“I’ll call a technician to fix it later.”
The response that came back was just that. Having small conversations, picking up fallen objects.
Violetta’s fists trembled. It hit hard enough to shatter bones. Even so, that was the only response.
I didn’t even have the energy to say anything. Violetta just clenched her red, swollen fists tightly.
‘I need to meet more other people…….’
Even after leaving the conference room, Violetta was aimlessly searching for someone. Not giving up is not because you have a strong will. It was the expression of a heart that she did not want to believe and wanted to escape. On the contrary, Violetta could not give up because her will her was weak and her heart her was infinitely tender.
As the situation became clearer, her steps became faster and faster, finally turning into a gait.
Even outside the conference room, he seemed indifferent to her. Even though the number of princesses was running through the imperial palace, no one stopped her. No one scolded me for keeping my stamina, and no one asked anxiously what was going on.
It is the same whether it blocks the view or blocks the road. They just bypassed her as if nothing had happened. It was complete indifference and disregard. It was as if an invisible wall had risen between them and himself.
“Ha… Ha…”
Breathing became rough and sweet breath leaked out. The body, which had been neglected like a disabled person for a week, screamed at the sudden movement.
I feel like vomiting. My stomach rumbled.
Anxiety grew as big as the distance she ran. The imperial palace began to feel like a prison without bars.
Took.
As she turned the corner, Violetta’s body her collided with someone. The opponent she bumped into was Clara, her exclusive lady-in-waiting her. Violetta, who confirmed the opponent’s face her, felt both joy and fear.
Violetta had been imprisoned for a week, but she had n’t gone unnoticed in her bedroom.
It was Clara who, with the man’s permission her, helped her whenever it was time to eat or wash herself.
Violetta, who needed someone to appeal to, hugged Clara without asking or questioning.
But Clara’s reaction her was cold.
“Someone unluckily installed a wall in a place like this…….”
She had just turned the corner and replaced Violetta’s bump with a mere bump into the wall.
Violetta’s heart sank.
“Clara, neither you nor you can see me…… ?”
“I have a lot of work to do today. The lady-in-waiting will be angry.”
Clara grumbled as she carelessly picked up the spilled items.
Soon after, a devastated Violetta releases her hand from her embrace her, and she leaves without looking back.
“Look at me…… !”
Finally, an impulsive mind made her scream. I hope that not only Clara, but anyone passing by will hear it.
“Look at me, here…… !”
Forgotten. The fear of disappearance eats away at her bit by bit.
***
Violetta continued to run. I wasn’t really looking for someone. I didn’t even know where my destination was.
Disconnection.
It was one of man’s most primal fears.
Violetta understood the current situation. No, in fact, I accepted what I had been denying all along.
When I first left the room, I had been suspicious since there were no watchful eyes. But I never thought that something like this would be waiting for me.
She thought that, at best, she would commit obscene and vulgar acts like her temper her, even if she tried her best tricks her in the imperial palace. If there had been an orgy going on in the hallway or people trying to violate her, she wouldn’t have been so frightened. She was confident that she would laugh at the poor quality of her work.
This is not this It really isn’t.
After all human relationships are cut off unnaturally like this because of the man’s ability, what on earth is left for him?
I only had a relationship with that man.
It’s terrible. Having no choice but to lean on the perpetrator.
“Ahhh….”
A groan mixed with a sigh came out. The mouth was full of sweetness. Violetta ran desperately. His body her was heavy, and the hem of his skirt her was cumbersome, but he continued to run as if something big would happen if he stopped.
Occasionally, I bumped into people passing by, but the reaction was flat. Her others could not see her, hear her, or feel her.
The emotions of crying in a frustrated heart were in the middle of the day. It was a feeling that sat down like a stone. It seemed that this feeling would be relieved by shouting. She hesitated for a moment, but soon Violetta got better.
“Ah——!”
It was a voice full of evil. It sounded like the sound of a young child using a herd. In fact, since he was denying what had already happened, the expression of using a group might be surprisingly accurate.
Gradually, the vision narrowed and the surroundings became blurred.
For a moment, she felt something catch her feet her. Stepping on the hem of his loose skirt his, Violetta collapsed helplessly to the floor.
No tears came out. It was good that the pain made me forget the melancholy.
A commotion was heard all around. She had left her imperial palace without her knowledge of her. How much time has passed How long has she been running? Her knee joints her trembled as if they were about to break.
The imperial capital was packed with people. Brilliant blonde hair and golden eyes. No one in the empire knows the external characteristics of the imperial family, but no one paid any attention to them even though they were spread out on the floor. It seems that the man’s manipulative actions didn’t just stop inside the imperial palace. It was truly unbelievable in scale and scope.
She turned her body around and lay down on the floor in a large letter. She wanted to look like a royal woman, but there was no one here to point out such a thing.
I look up at her, feeling the cold, hard touch on her her back her. Clouds are moving fast in the sky. She was drifting away leaving her alone. The street, the people, the sky, the second hand, everything. It flows leaving only her alone.
People’s faces brightened. The weather was clear and nice as never before. Only she was heterogeneous.
Suddenly, a cool wind blow. On days like this, she used to sometimes go flower-viewing in the garden with Ellie. As she grew older and busier, she could no longer play so carelessly, but Violetta still remembered those days.
A week has passed since she met the man. It’s been a week or so. It was painful and difficult, but I still didn’t feel much of it. It was just a vague feeling that it would be nice to have a difficult day go quickly.
It was only after this intuitive experience that Violetta finally realized. She said the good times are gone.
At that moment, a shadow cast over her and someone called her name her.
“Majesty.”
