112. The life of a prisoner begins and ends with work (2)
Captive of Princess Orcia.
Most people here call me that way.
“Prisoner! There’s a problem! Help-“
“You are a prisoner. “Please help me.”
“Hey, prisoner. Follow me. “There’s something to fix.”
f*ck you.
Why did I end up in this situation?
This is all because of Charlotte who forced me to work.
After handling Orcia’s work for about 5 days, people began to treat me like a civil servant who did everything for them.
‘This is why you shouldn’t work hard… ‘
I can’t believe I was treated as a capable person for no reason due to my excessive reputation and actions.
I should have hidden my power.
I feel a little regret because I feel like I used the knowledge from my previous life for no reason.
“Hurry, follow me, captive! “There’s something to fix at my house!”
Still, there is one thing that is fortunate.
“If there is anything to fix, fix it with your own hands. “It’s not that important.”
“Sha, Princess Charlotte… ?”
“He is my prisoner, not yours. I have to do important work for the country. “There is no reason to help only yourself.”
When it comes to chores, my boss takes care of them.
“I’m sorry… Oh, princess… !!”
Hearing Charlotte’s words, the citizens retreated in fear and ran away.
It was so different from my self-confident self that I was a little taken aback.
“What on earth did you do? “Are people scared of you, like they’ve seen a ghost?”
“They are afraid of me. “It’s probably because I heard a rumor.”
“Rumors?”
I tried to dig deeper into the story.
Charlotte avoided my gaze and muttered in a low voice.
“… “I just did my duty as a princess.”
In order to combine two personalities, you need to know the exact past.
Judging by the reaction, it seemed like something he didn’t want to tell me.
But it’s okay with me if you don’t tell me now.
Because Charlotte has two mouths.
‘If you didn’t hear it in the morning. ‘I can ask in the evening.’
There was no particular problem.
“… “Damian.”
“Huh?”
Are my impure thoughts revealed on the outside?
Charlotte said, glaring at me with tiger-like eyes.
“I like it because I do my job properly. “It would be best not to engage in unnecessary tricks.”
“I didn’t do anything.”
“I’m telling you not to do it again in the future. You are an Imperial and are deeply entrenched in the Kingdom of Orcia. And… “
Charlotte turned her back on me and muttered.
“… I like how you work. “I want to see you as long as possible.”
“Sounds like some kind of confession.”
“Okay, confession? I’m only speaking from the princess’s perspective!! “Don’t make unnecessary misunderstandings!”
Charlotte’s face was stained red as she looked back at me and shouted.
Although he said in his own words that he suffered from heat.
No matter how you look at that expression, it was a face full of shame.
‘If you tease him any further, he might pull out a dagger in the middle of the city, so be careful.’
I muttered that to myself and walked after Charlotte.
Charlotte looks to the right.
He was touching the people playing baduk in the square.
She looked at them quietly and spoke as if it were going by.
“… “This is the first time I’ve seen the people of Orcia make faces like that.”
And then he looked at my hand.
“Just follow along quickly, captive. “You have a lot to do today.”
I started walking leisurely down the street.
Princess Charlotte seemed to be very moody.

Evening came.
I talked to Charlotte as usual.
“That happened! I was playing with Lesha! He’s saying, ‘Sister, you seem different than usual?’ “At that time she thought she had been caught and she was so shocked!”
“Hmm, I see. “Did anything else happen?”
“There it was! She was walking in the garden with Milo Laurent-“
There is one piece of information that I learned that did not appear in the original work.
Not princess Charlotte, but human Charlotte.
This woman.
‘There’s more to say than I thought.’
That’s a lot too.
Charlotte was as excited as a fish out of water, and poured out words to me.
The topic of her conversation is mainly about bragging about her younger siblings.
“Milo is mature and has a deep heart! Good boy! My younger siblings are also good at following Milo! “It seems like you have natural leadership skills!”
“Hmm, Milo. For a kid, he didn’t seem like a devil. “It’s not noisy either.”
“That’s right, Damian! Do you have a good eye for people? I guess I didn’t choose you for nothing! Oh, no… Is this rude to you? Sorry… “
Speak purely and apologize honestly.
Should I say that it feels like looking at pure white drawing paper?
I feel like I’m watching a child who has a lot of things he wants to say.
‘There seems to be a slight lack of affection.’
The unique thing about human Charlotte is that whenever she speaks, she holds my hand and does not let go.
When I hold hands, I feel warmth and my mind becomes calm.
It seemed no different from a child asking his parents to hold his hand.
‘Has one side become an adult too early, and the other side is similar to a child?’
The two personalities become increasingly distinct.
A personality created for survival.
Princess Charlotte does not feel guilty even when she takes advantage of others.
Charlotte is a human who receives that guilt, but is preserved in a pure state without any mental contamination.
Then, if you ask me which of the two is the original Charlotte…
‘There is a high probability that they are both the original Charlotte.’
So, if the two personalities are integrated, that princess Charlotte and pure Charlotte will be mixed.
‘… That’s a bit dizzy. ‘Do you think we can integrate well?’
I can’t say that I always succeed.
I think I will find out once I try it.
In order to do that, we need to know the exact moment when the two personalities were separated…
“Roy was such a good kid too! Louis and you are both very pretty-“
“Charlotte.”
I interrupted Charlotte’s babbling and stared into her eyes.
“Uh, huh? Wow, why all of a sudden?”
Charlotte was embarrassed and rolled her eyes to avoid my gaze.
I persistently followed her gaze and muttered in a serious tone.
“I have a question for you, Charlotte. “I want you to give me a serious answer.”
“Well, question… ? It’s good to do it… You’re so close, can’t you move a little further away… ?”
“No.”
“Oh, there’s nothing I can do if it doesn’t work out… “
You listen well.
I stared at Charlotte and asked her a deep question.
“I want to hear about what happened when the personality split. “Can you talk to me?”
“Personality… What led to division… ?”
“I want to hear what led to the division. “I want to help you if possible.”
“The opportunity… I want to help me… ?”
She nodded her head in response to Charlotte’s question, as if her mind had run away slightly.
She looked at me quietly as if the thought had stopped.
“I’m sorry. I think the other side will wake up. “I can’t tell you this.”
He hardened his expression and answered me in a strong tone.
‘Yes, there is no way you can get it this easily.’
Although consent was obtained from one party.
The key to the case that can only be obtained when the other party also agrees.
The box is always by my side.
What I have to do is.
‘We need to form a close relationship with that princess like we have with Charlotte now.’
Of course it won’t be easy.
I knew how to make Charlotte obsessed with me.
She is more than anything else.
She prioritizes and likes competent people.
***
In front of Verdium Mansion.
People were busily gathering and loading luggage into the carriage.
“Load the box there first. “You have to put something heavy inside.”
“Yes! All right!”
After receiving the order from the head deacon, the servants quickly began loading supplies onto the wagon.
The work was carried out systematically due to good training.
And above all else.
“Load it quickly.”
Because Nadia was watching with an uncomfortable look.
She had to muster up all the strength she had to breastfeed.
“Yeong-cha!”
“Yeong-cha!”
“Young… But what’s inside this to make it heavy? “I can’t lift it alone.”
A servant who looks troubled.
As things did not progress, the head deacon immediately approached him.
“Is there some problem?”
“It’s too heavy compared to other boxes, Mr. Butler. “What did you hear?”
The head deacon looked at the tightly packed wooden box with sharp eyes.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Hmm… “
After checking the box, he looked through the ledger and spoke in his characteristic cynical tone.
“If it is heavy, it is natural that it is drinking water. “Call one more person and put him in the wagon with you.”
“Yes, I understand!”
Yeongcha- Yeongcha-
In the end, only two servants were able to carry the heavy box onto the carriage.
“… There’s one more heavy thing. Is this fruit? You there! “Lift this with me!”
Yeongcha- Yeongcha-
We loaded all the necessary items into the carriage and wagon with seats.
When it seemed like preparations were complete, Nadia quickly got on the carriage.
“Let’s go. To Orcia.”
More than that.
“Deacon.”
“Yes, matriarch.”
“Try to watch the imperial family’s movements while I’m away. If you see something suspicious. “Burn important documents.”
“I will follow your orders, matriarch.”
“Yes.”
Give a simple command to the butler like that.
Nadia got into the carriage that was so uncomfortable and difficult.
Today, she felt lonely because the seat next to her was empty.
And.
When I heard the rattling sound of the carriage moving.
“Puh-ha!”
A small woman came out of a tightly closed box, exhaling.
“Ah, I thought I was rummaging because my back hurt. It’s a shame I’m heavier than that. “They didn’t exercise at all.”
Tsk.
She almost died because it was difficult for her to hide among the trees.
Bluebell jumped out of the box and leaned back against the wall of her carriage, exhaling deeply.
“I guess I can just steal food from here. Will it take more than 10 days to get to Orcia? School started, but my life was ruined. This is Damian! It’s because of that bastard… !”
It’s annoying.
But, I feel a little more worried.
“Damian that bastard… How are you doing? I know that Orcia is polygamous. “If you go, your wife will be there, right?”
Bluebell started to have bad thoughts.
However, that time was not that long.
“Well, if that were the case, I would kill Damian’s wife, kill Damian, and kill myself.”
A neat problem solving method.
Bluebell was somewhat satisfied with the ending.
However, the person hiding in another box.
It appears that wasn’t the case.
Kwajik-!
“W-what?!”
A hand suddenly protrudes from the box.
Ujistring- A box that opens with a sound.
An apple falling to the ground as a person comes out.
“Whoever wants… They say they’re going to kill Damian… ?”
Glass hidden in a fruit box.
She appeared because she could not stand her harsh words towards Damien.
“Trash… Why are you here… ?”
Of course, Bluebell was not very happy about being reunited with Yuri.
That too.
“I have to stay with this trash for over 10 days…” ?”
“Get drunk, cancel it…” ! Take back what you said about killing Damian… !”
“f*ck.”
A trip to Orcia with the person you hate the most.
It was because the process couldn’t have been good.
