Chapter 4: Scene 3
+ Daughter of Evil ~ Lucifenia Kingdom’s “Underground Prison” ~

It’s been a long time now.

In the underground cells, even the Levin Cathedral Bell cannot be heard. The window is latticed on the ceiling, where sunlight can enter. Unfortunately, the window was planked and nailed, so I was unable to see the scenery outside.

However, faint sound of laughter can be heard outside; must be children playing. But it’s very vague, so maybe I’m hallucinating. I thinking of children playing around the palace and while was humming songs.

Songs… Michaela’s singing was great. So to say, even the Daughter of Evil was good at singing and occasionally, when Leonhart and Germaine are drinking, would also sing some songs.

I was already singing when I regained attention/snapped out of my daydream. It was the lullaby my mother often sang to me when I was a child.

Singing is good, it can make people forget their anxiety. So just keep on singing.

“Hey! So noisy! You’re giving me a headache!”

A guard with a kerosene lamp said loudly roaring. I ignored him and kept on singing.

“……Che(切?)”

The guard smacked with dissatisfaction(?), but didn’t say anything. He’s a soldier from Marlon.

I know that Marlon was brutal and ruthless when it comes to prisoners.

Rattle… Rattle…

I don’t know where the sound came from, but it sounded like footsteps. It was coming from the underground cell. It was time for guard duty shifting.

“Watchman, thanks for the hard work. How is she?”

The other officer said. It sounded like a female’s voice. I don’t know why, when I heard her voice, I slowly calmed down.

“Reporting, she is behaving nicely but she often makes a fuss”

“She… may haven’t lost hope yet”

I was initially making a scene of getting out. I had to act as the Daughter of Evil.

“I’m sorry but can you leave us alone”

The guard was surprised from her request.

“But…”

“Please! In any case, I just want to talk to her alone”

“…Okay. Please be careful and do not open the cell”

Footsteps can be heard and it eventually faded away. It seems the guard went to the stairs and left.

“This is the first time I’ve met you, princess”

The voice came from across the iron bars. Although it was very dark, it was not clear but she seems to be wearing bright red armour. I remembered the report that the revolutionary army was led by a person with red armour. She must be the leader of the revolutionary army.

……I feel like I know this voice.

“I am the leader of the revolutionary army, Germaine Avadonia. The execution date for Lucifenia’s princess has already been set, so I’ve have come to greet you personally”

“…Ha ha… HA HA HA HA HA HA!”

This is a masterpiece. It’s too funny. What did she just say? An execution date has been settled?

It’s not this one. It’s her name. The “Germaine Avadonia”. HAHA. I know that name.

“Why are you laughing? It’s irregular to laugh when you’re about to die”

I stood up and approached the iron bars, so that I could see her face. Yes, she is LeonHart’s daughter – Germaine Avadonia.

“The execution is 2 days from now at 3 o’clock in the afternoon at Millenial Square. It’s about time to confess to God for all the crimes you have done”

Germaine does not seem to have guessed my real identity. I could not help but boast in my heart that my skills of disguising is still good.

“Is that all that you want to say? Then leave. I’m tired”

Having said that, I retreated into the cell.

But at that moment—

“Wait!”

Germaine called out to me. I turned around and saw that her eyes wavered and struggled to open.

“Please wait… What’s happening? Why would you do this…?”

The game was over; she knew who I was now. Even so, I- the servant, would not reveal my true identity.

“What are you talking about? I’m locked up in a filthy cell; no thanks to the likes of you”

“Don’t joke around! Allen! You’re Allen! Why…?”

“What a noisy woman… You must be drunk from your victory party”

“Allen Avadonia! Son of one of the Three Heroes, LeonHart Avadonia! My only brother… is that you?”
