108. Kidnapped by the princess (2)
108. Kidnapped by the princess (2)
In the original work, the Kingdom of Orcia appears only once, when Charlotte kidnaps the crown prince.
According to the description, the king of the Kingdom of Orsia was said to be greedy for money and women and had no regard for human life.
As a result, all areas except the palace of the kingdom were always hungry, and dozens of people died every day.
‘… ‘I wish the description had been different from the original.’
After reaching the palace, his hands were tied and he only turned his head to check his surroundings.
It didn’t seem like that.
Because this palace was so extravagant.
‘On the gold elephant statue… There’s gold everywhere, including the walls and floor, right? ‘How much money did you spread?’
It is safe to say that the entire palace is covered in gold.
All the decorations and luxury items on display are expensive items.
If you sell just one, the common people can live a prosperous life for 30 years.
And the most horrifying fact is…
“Don’t look around too much. Because those are only a few. “There is a separate space for my father’s collection.”
“… “How much more is there?”
“Enough to fill four rooms.”
“… “
They said this was only a small part.
Maybe Charlotte didn’t feel at ease after explaining it to me?
He was frowning slightly.
I asked Charlotte carefully.
“But I have one question. “Can I ask?”
“I will allow you to ask special questions.”
“What is the real reason you kidnapped me? Don’t lie and say you will help me. “I don’t think I heard your real reason.”
“The real reason?”
The real reason, not a lie.
Charlotte paused for a moment at that question.
She seemed to be worried for a moment.
“… “Why should I tell you that?”
I coldly cut off the question and walked forward, dragging the rope that tied my body.
It seemed like the door to his heart had not yet opened for me.
‘Double personality can only be treated by opening a tightly closed door.’
That time seemed still far away.
I put my regret aside and looked at the back of Charlotte who was dragging me away.
‘According to the original plan, I was planning to treat Charlotte after freshman year, but… ‘
An incident inevitably occurred, and I had to stay with Charlotte for the time being.
I took this opportunity to make a new plan to treat her personality.
I couldn’t predict whether this plan would collapse again or whether it would be completed.
I thought the possibility of success itself was high.
At that moment, Charlotte stopped her steps and spoke to me.
“Damian.”
“Uh.”
“It’s in front of your father, so be polite.”
“I’m polite even if I don’t say anything.”
“It’s not just empty words, it’s sincere. Be careful. Because if I go against my father’s wishes, I could die. “Get your mind straight.”
Are you worried about me?
Charlotte made eye contact with the guard at her door and nodded.
The guards shouted as they carefully opened the door.
“Princess Charlotte is entering! “Your Majesty the King!”
“Go ahead.”
The reason why Charlotte’s personality was divided into two.
It was the moment when she came face to face with the King of Orcia.
***
Her first meeting with King Orcia was not so good.
“Who are you?”
“… “This is Sinclair Damien.”
“What is Secret?”
“… “This is Sinclair Damien.”
“That’s a needlessly long name.”
“… “
First of all.
The white hair, the cruel snake-like slitted eyes, and the bulging fat showed how greedy he was.
Orcia re Cerros, the king of Orcia, had a 20-year-old young woman on either side of him.
They were fawning, and Seros accepted their touch without saying a word.
And, looking at the way he was devouring the turkey leg in front of me, he had no interest in me.
I felt like I knew why this country was in such a mess.
Charlott looked at Seros patiently and spoke politely.
“Father. “I returned after completing my mission.”
“Umm, okay. “Is he the result of completing the mission?”
“Yes, I brought you the body of the princess of Orcia of the highest quality. He is called the genius of the empire and has a higher value than the crown prince.”
“Yeah, not a bad result.”
Ahh!
Seros spoke without even chewing his food.
“Since you have achieved results, I will spare your life, Charlotte.”
“Thank you, father.”
“Then go away now. “I still have work to do.”
Seueuugh-
As soon as he said those words, Seros swept down the clothes of the woman next to him.
She didn’t seem to hesitate even though her daughter, Charlotte, was in front of her.
“… Let’s go.”
Charlotte turned around with an expressionless face, as if she was used to it.
Then, he grabbed my rope again and dragged me.
Boom!!
“… “
After leaving the throne room, I couldn’t say anything.
It was because I didn’t know what to say in this atmosphere.
You can’t say with positive thoughts, ‘Your father is open-minded.’ If you ask ‘Are you okay?’ As a way of comforting them, they will probably hate you for pitying you.
In the end, I decided that silence was closer to the right answer.
Because vague sympathy is worse than having no sympathy.
“… Let’s go.”
Charlotte probably thought it wasn’t that bad either, so she started dragging me and heading somewhere.
More than that…
“Charlotte. “Can you please untie this line?”
“Why?”
“Every time I pass by, the guards look at me like a criminal. “I feel bad about the stares.”
“If you let them go, they’ll run away.”
“Is there a place I can run away to?”
“… “I’ll release you.”
Persuasion success.
Luckily, Charlotte released the ropes that bound my body.
Then, he took out a knife again from somewhere and pointed it at my neck.
“If you run away, you die. “My escort is nearby, so you better not even think about running away.”
“Even if I run away, there is nowhere to go.”
“Just follow me quietly.”
That’s cool.
I felt like I had completely forgotten all my memories of being friends at the academy.
Still, there was one thing I gained from coming to Orcia.
‘The reason why Charlotte’s personality was divided into two.’
At first, I thought it was to disperse the guilt of surviving.
However, this is what I saw for myself when I arrived here.
Dispersion of guilt could be said to be the reason, but there seemed to be another reason.
‘If that was the same as in the past, I would have witnessed my father’s s*xual intercourse excessively when I was young. There is a high probability that you have seen Seros having relationships with women other than his mother without hesitation.’
It seemed as if he had split into two personalities due to the confusing situation and extreme stress.
In order to treat her, a process of communicating with her personality must be achieved.
It is questionable whether Charlotte, who has a lot of guilt about killing people, can accept her past.
Of course, all of this is assuming.
You can only find out by actually applying it.
“We have arrived. Go in.”
While I was lost in my thoughts, Charlotte stopped walking as if she had already reached her destination.
I was a little anxious, so I pointed to the door and asked a question.
“Where am I?”
“I’ll find out when I get in.”
“I think it would be good if you told me before that.”
“I guess I still don’t understand the situation well.”
Sereung-
Charlotte took out her dagger and pointed it at me again.
“I am a princess and you are a prisoner. I don’t know why I should listen to you. “Would you like to explain?”
“… “I’ll just go in.”
They are making scary threats.
I opened the door immediately.
Then, inside…
“Oh! “Someone came!”
“Who are you? Who are you?” “He’s a man?”
“Huh? “There’s Charlotte too!”
“… “
He looks like a kindergarten or elementary school student. Dozens of children were gathered in groups of twos and threes playing.
Charlotte followed me in and spoke into my ear.
“These are my younger brothers. “All mothers are different, but only the father is the same.”
“Well, I see…” “You’re saying they’re all princesses or princes?”
“You can say that just because of the name. But not all princesses and princes are treated the same way.”
“That’s a bit cruel.”
“It is an unavoidable reality.”
After Charlotte’s explanation was over, the children who had seen Charlotte began to gather towards me.
“Sister! “Who is this oppa?!”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been here, so come play!”
“I, I’m hungry! It’s been a long time since I’ve had a meal… I want to eat something delicious… “
“Speak slowly, one at a time. Beyond that, where did Ray go? “Did you go to the bathroom?”
When the name Ray came up, the children’s mood became gloomy.
The oldest-looking child among them spoke carefully.
“Ray… I was called… “
“… “So that’s it.”
“Yes… “
“… “
The atmosphere calmed down in an instant.
When looking at the situation.
The child named Ray seemed to have lost his life.
Charlotte closed her eyes for a moment, then he took a breath and spoke.
“… Are you hungry? I’ll get something delicious and come back. In the meantime, I’m playing with that oppa. “I’m going to have fun with you.”
“Me?”
Children don’t like it because it’s distracting.
I suddenly felt a cold sensation behind my back.
“Are you going to play?”
“… “Of course, we have to play.”
“They say they will play with me. Playing while I come back. If my brother tries to run away, stop him, even if it means sacrificing his life. Got it?”
“Okay!!”
Children’s voices ringing loudly.
It seemed like Charlotte had kept his discipline pretty tight.
Just like that, Charlotte disappeared, leaving me and her children behind.
“Okay then… How should I play with them… “
Countless eyes looking at me.
And, a look of anticipation.
“Brother! “What are you going to do with us?”
“Play with me! Play with me! Play with me!”
“I’m bored! I’m bored! I’m bored!”
“… “
I’m going crazy.
I felt like I was losing my mind.
