  Derick suddenly turned around and called me. ’Did he notice?’My heart was about to pop out of my chest. I checked if my sleeves covered the back of my hand and managed to raise my head."Excuse me, did you call me?"I didn’t have to act, because I have the husky voice of a servant.Two persons came out. The orange gauge bar above Derick’s head shines clearly in the dark. I gulped. "You looks like a servant from the mansion," said the other man who looked at me from head to toe. "What brings you here?""Ah……I’m here to pick up the laundry for the imprisoned slave." I calmly gave the answer I had prepared."Slave? By whose command?" "Princess’s""Princess?"At that moment, his blue eyes’ pupils dilated. Soon, however, he crumples his forehead as if he was displeased."Penelope. Did she make you do it?" "N-no. Yvonne…… The young Miss did."This content is taken from lightnovelpub[.]comI looked at his reaction as I said it. I purposely didn’t avoid his gaze.It was a lie, but he might be suspicious for no reason. The guy who went out could have gone to check with the heroine. Then, there would be no more trouble.Cold sweat tricked down my neck. Suddenly……"Be careful with what you say." Said Derick, who seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, suddenly retorted ferociously."You’re easy to go around spouting things that aren’t confirmed yet. You must have been told to be careful."I was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of conversation. ’You asked me first, why are you getting angry?’(TL Note: this is why no one like you, Derick)After grumbling,’I’ll be damned if you started treating me very well.’Suddenly, in my mind came Yvonne who also talked about what she suffered from her brothers who were ill-tempered in the beginning of the week.For more, visit lightn/ovelpub[/.]com’You’re such a nasty character’But I quickly bowed my head, for I was in a position of great trouble if he were to find out. "Ah…… I-I’m sorry, Young Duke! I’ll correct it! I’m so sorry!"’Let’s bow down up to 90°, like a servant.’It’s a pitiful sight.Derek asked, with his eyes looking down in all haughtiness, "Are you new?" "Yes, yes!""That’s strange. This day is really full of weird things……"My heart sank once again at his words. I couldn’t answer and was just frozen."You may go."Derrick’s permission finally fell with a clap of his tongue.Follow current novels on ligh/tnovelpub[.]com"Yes! Thank you!" As I tightened my bent head to the last minute, Derick without a reply, turned around and walked away.’Damn it.’He then disappears into the dark forest.Looking at him, I carefully opened my wrist under my sleeve. Then I came to my senses and turned to the path in a hurry.I ran into Derick which took more time that I thought. "Well, I’m here to see the slave……""Come in."With the guards hearing my conversation with Derick, they opened the way for me. "Oh, that slave guy is underground. Don’t go upstairs. Just go down the stairs." Thanks to the kind explanation, I was able to go to Eclise easily.As soon as I entered the building, the stairs led to a corridor. The dreary staircase with a sparsely lit lamp Has been broken for quite some time. The end finally reached the prison cell.The room was all steel bars. Whether it wasn’t used as often, the old prison was empty except for the last one which the light doesn’t even reach.The source of this content is lightnovelpub[.]comThere wasn’t even a guard underground. They must be confident at the security. ’He’s an apprentice yet the treatment is terrible.’ (Tl: my heart weeps for Eclise) The confirmation process is not complete yet and we can’t release him right away.Even worse, the environment was too poor. In addition, he was a servant of the family who brought "the real princess".I could see how great the duke and Derick’s hostility toward him was. ’It’s none of my business.’As I was looking around the dungeon, I rolled up my sleeves and unfastened my bracelet. In the past, I would have felt at least a weak sense of guilt, saying, "This is because the duke did not bring him in first as it was in the original story."But I couldn’t even feel it anymore. His betrayal hurt so much.As soo as the magic wore off, the flaming red hair fell over my shoulders. When I put the bracelet in my pocket, all I had left in my left hand was a big ruby ring.Time was running out, so I moved to the end without delay. I took a step at this end. Jabbuck, jabbuck -Despite the sound of someone approaching, Eclise stuck in the corner did not move.Jabbuck - I finally stood tall in front of my destination, pulled out a lamp from the wall and lifted it over the bars.Follow current novels on l/ightnov/elpub[.]comThe light scattered over the darkness, and the gray haired head crouched in a pitiful way. "Hi," I said, breaking the silence.Despite the appearance of a man walking, his unmoving body tensed. Eclise raised his head slowly. My eyes, which had been squinting for a while because of the lamp’s light soon expanded slowly. "Master?""I can’t believe you appeared out of nowhere" Eclise muttered with a blank look I have never seen before.He then got up from his seat. And began to walk towards me step by step.He’s locked up in such a gloomy basement that I thought he was being treated unfairly but since there were no handcuffs, it seems that’s not the case.I felt much lighter.While observing the Eclis’s coming, I saw he had reached the very edge of his nose to the bars.Before I knew it, he reached out his hand through the bars and I felt the coldness of another person on my cheek, so I hesitated and suppressed my body, which almost retreated."Am I dreaming?" "……?"For more, visit lightnovelpub[/.]comEclise said to herself with a real doll-like face, as if he was a few days old. At that moment.
