Leaving the sleeping Gai in the care of a servant, I left the mansion while being seen off. Before, I would’ve immediately moved by teleportation, but recently I’ve started walking. …I thought various things require physical strength.
Especially recently, perhaps because he lost his inhibitions, Jill had been doing as he pleased. As I was walking down the country road, muttering complaints, Finn suddenly appeared and scared me.
“Did something happen?”
“…Lilius-sama.”
“What, what’s wrong?”
I approached Finn, who was hanging his head, feeling anxious and wondering if something had happened. Something struck my stomach and immediately, a pain so intense that I couldn’t even breathe overwhelmed me. With my consciousness fading, all I could do is stare at Finn in front of me.

“What is this?”
“Good morning. Didn’t I tell you not to trust me?”
“Haha, I see. So it was you who took the gatekeeper of the healing team out. I thought it was strange. At that time, you could have avoided the attack, couldn’t you? Was it because your remaining conscience?”
Through hazy eyes I could see Finn standing before me, with his face exposed. The sense of unease I held connected everything, and it made perfect sense, refreshingly so. That’s right… When I first saw Finn, I thought he was more beautiful than a woman.
When one is attacked by assailants wearing all-black clothing, the rule is to kill them all without any questions asked. But when Finn was caught off guard, he was only injured. Even if I beg, even if I were to end up hating Finn and Jill, the absolute rule is to kill them first.
In the face of my questioning, Finn merely smiled calmly and, as always, I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. Upon confirming my current situation once again, laughter welled up from the depths of my stomach.
“Aah, how nostalgic. I used to be strung up like this quite often.”
I was tied up shirtless, hands tied high above my head. The vines of a black rose, sensing my sister’s magic, are entwined around my arms, deploying powerful magic. Numerous needles pierced through my skin, using the flowing blood as a medium to seal off the magic. However, it’s as rotten as ever. Even the slightest movement results in flesh being gouged, and the sharp pain drains one’s strength. With both my magical and physical resistance sealed, escaping became even more difficult.
“Since you investigated, you should know, right? In my homeland, day after day, I was chained in a dim underground dungeon and flogged for hours on end under the guise of punishment. Do you think a woman who does the same things out of spite will fulfil your wishes?”
“It’s as if you know my wishes, huh?”
“Hah, I don’t care about that. Just remember, once you return, there’s a harsh punishment waiting for you.”
“Huh?”
“Jill will definitely come to get you. At that time, you’ll be in a terrible state. Don’t think it will end with something as simple as dying to make amends or giving up your life.”
“…”
“If you die, it’s all over. If you die, that’s the end of your village friends who swore to do whatever it takes to help you.”
(3/4) dun dun duuuun
Oh no… I was actually waiting for something to happen, because there was too much of happy things happening and this author isn’t that generous, but when it finally happened, I’m terrified. I hope this torture won’t last long, Jill move your butt!
Thank you for the chapter.
