As I stared at the wound, I laughed awkwardly.
“It's bad, isn't it?
““…….” Although I did not cry, Leah left, saying that she would bring the medicine.
“Shall we continue the class?
This tower was built three hundred years ago by the Duke of the time to honor his ancestors.
“It was a strange-looking peak.
It was not built for housing or any other purpose.
It was just a symbol.
There were only stairs inside, and no rooms.
There was only a ray of sunlight without even a lamp, Maintained by mana.
" amazing!" “Do you want to go up?
““Yes!
Ceria laughed as she gestured up the stairs.
“Why?
““You remind me of my younger brother ““It's hard to be a Siwi “( Seria must be a good sister ).
" no." “None “She walked up the stairs and looked at Ceria.
“I humiliated a noble man for humiliating him “( I killed a nobleman for him ).
“……..!” Her face stiffened.
Checkmate *. * The final move in chess *** ' I was just hoping it wasn't you.’ The evidence is the wound on her foot caused by a fire.
I saw it at a slave auction house.
All slaves had the same mark on their feet.
' There was on foot the man who tried to attack me.’ Ceria also got an accent.
Noxton dialect.
“The dead noble was actually a slave trader.
Syria, the slaves of your region were sold by that noble “.
It was not common for a noble to make money for the elderly and weak.
She was a slave created by nobles, So Seria was able to break into the palace herself.
“How....
How Get up With that ….” Seria, who was looking at me with trembling eyes, I quickly burst out laughing.
“I think you heard about it from the Duke.
I didn't think I could hide it for long either.
I was arrested sooner than I expected “.
I rolled my eyes.
I've already prepared an excuse.
“True.
He deserved to die “.
“…….” “No one knew he was such a vile, He even sells children into slavery “Ceria clenched her fist.
“The children who did not know anything were waiting for him to rescue them even after they were sold...
Just like me ““……..” “But I was lucky.
I worked in his palace.
So I was completely sold after adolescence, And I realized more than other children.
The true nature of this damned man “.
Seria said she ran away with all her might.
I went to the facility to rescue other children, But many of them have already been sold.
“Children who are not suitable for sale are miserable “.
I know you killed Nabil.
' But why should you come to Doubled?
' Ceria knelt in front of me.
“little miss, Just a manager like me can't see the Duke.
Please help me see it!
“I said in a fit of surprise.
“If the Duke finds out, you will die!
Did she think a man without blood or tears would save her life because she had a miserable past?
“I have to find my brothers who were sold ““What?
““I heard from another one of his subordinates.
I don't know why, But he definitely said he would go to the Doubled area “.
At that moment, many things came to my mind.
The special eyes that were looking at me, an unusual fondness for children.
A wound along the hand.
“Jacob …” That's when I muttered.
“How did you know?
“A voice came from under the stairs.
That was when Ceria suddenly raised her head.
He jumped up in an instant and grabbed her by the neck.
“Ugh....!” Then take her down the stairs.
Dark red blood pooled around Ceria, That rolled down the high stairs.
Jacob looked at me.
“huh?
How did you know?
“I bit my lip hard.
This tower I was in now was far from the main castle.
It was just a symbol, So it was an area where knights did not patrol.
There were no other people.
I needed space to talk to Ceria, I was sure she would never attack me again.
Jacob approached slowly.
“Won't you tell me?
“She stumbled back as Jacob groaned.
“My client told me not to break you, But to bring you there “I looked at him as he muttered in a very sad tone.
“If you come back this time, they will kill you first “.
But what is the best way to avoid a painful death?
Falling from the tower?
Bite your tongue?
' Sir, you have to die before you are captured.’ It was clear that “Client “Jacob was a crazy pervert, So it was very dangerous for him to be caught.
' It would be better for him to fall and die.’ I ran to the window but Jacob was faster.
He grabbed my collar and said, “It will be fun to play with you “It was then.
Came a familiar voice.
“Leah!
There was also a yoni behind her.
I shouted hurriedly “Run away!
These two women cannot conquer a grown man.
Most of all, Jacob was experienced, By the way he treated Syria.
It's worse if these two die together to protect me.
But they didn't move.
Just as I was about to scream again, Leah narrowed the distance between herself and Jacob.
Leah jumped up and grabbed his shoulders.
She quickly grabbed his neck and tightened her grip.
' how ….!' Jacob's whole face was red as if he couldn't breathe.
As he slowly lost his strength, Leia threw him against the wall and he fell to the ground.
I was so shocked that I hit my head against the wall and fell.
“Little miss!
Leah came running towards me.
“Are you okay?
Sorry, It's been a long time since I made a mistake “.
I stared at her in amazement “Oh no, your forehead is red “Uni ran to where Jacob fell and asked him.
“What organization are you from?
Are you a Malta Orca from Brown Wolf?
If not, carotano?
“The usually cheerful and beautiful Yuni was very different today.
The names of drug gangs emerged, And human trafficking organizations, and murderers respectively, Besides the strange accent.
Then I grabbed him by the hair and hit him on the ground.
It seemed as if I heard his head snap.
“Oh, yeah, let's get your gut out “When I saw Jacob being beaten like a dog, I suddenly came back to my senses.
“… Leah, you're not a maid?
“Leah quickly shook her hand.
“I am a maid!
I was just stuck on a few things at the time “.
“Where?
““An elite knight for Doppeld, for a while ······.
“Elite Doppelganger Knights use aura in battles.
Rumor has it that more than... 100000 Someone to complete the battle in 15 One day.
She meant the best knight for Doppeld?
I swallowed when my mouth was dry and asked.
“Uni too?
““No.
Uni has a brief history of being in an organization before entering the castle....
“Uni then made an excuse out of embarrassment.
“I just did a small business in finance!
If it was a financial business, was it a money lending business?
Yuni explained to me, her hands shaking as she made excuses, She tossed the confused Jacob aside.
“But I still have the lowest reward among the maids who serve you! ··· So Dahlia and Linda were also criminals?
I realized I was overlooking one thing.
Doubled was ignoring the identity and origin of their employees.
In other words, the criminals may already be mixed up.
' Oh, that must be why the Doppelganger District was called the Villains' Lair.’ I nodded.
“I have just preached the ruler's teachings.
There are people in the world who need the ruler's guidance “. – said the serial killer Dalia, who killed about a hundred rapists.
“My family was poor from a young age, and we never ate well “These were Linda's words, Which embezzled the annual budget of many real estate owners.
“Don't be disappointed, little miss!
“Now, we live a life of regret!
She nodded with bleary eyes.
" decent." But the maids cried because they thought they were empty words.
“It's really okay “Technically, I was also an assassin before I came back.
Although it was a false accusation.
“This is not important now “.
Leah entered the room with a hard face.
“The master is looking for you “
