– One –
“Ma’am?”
Regal looks around the couple’s bedroom.
No one is here.
There is no trace of someone staying within a few hours, not even the slightest warmth.
It seemed that she hadn’t returned yet.
Regal presses the button on the summoning magic tool placed on the bedside table next to the bed.
Beep.
Even before 10 seconds had passed since the call signal rang out,
Smart.
A knock is heard.
“Come in.”
Squeak, squeak.
Click.
A pale-faced maid enters Regal’s bedroom.
Regal asks her, puzzled by her.
“It’s strange to see you here. Aren’t you in charge of the kitchen?”
“That’s right, Your Highness.”
“Has the person in charge of my bedroom changed to you?”
“That’s not the case. However, the current situation is not conducive to others, so I was forced to respond to the call.”
“I see. Does it have anything to do with your wife’s absence?”
“That, that’s…”
Regal’s eyes shine sharply.
He was immediately taken aback when her maid-in-waiting did not answer her questions about the whereabouts of her Chiba straight and kept talking.
But she took no further reproaches, taking into account that she would not be accustomed to such a manner of speech unless she was a regular attendant or assistant by her side.
“That is so, Your Highness.”
“Mrs. Well, where is she now?”
Her quarters began to soar that Regal would even consider disposing of her immediately if she continued to avoid her immediate response.
Although relatively tolerant of other things, Regal was absolutely not the case with Chiba.
Regal wasn’t angry just because they were a good couple.
Because Regal was always reminded in his head that he was one of the participants.
His own vices, his own weaknesses, his own companions, his own love.
As for Chiba, who was imprinted on Regal as such, he could never be calm.
“The Duchess is going to the bath now.”
“…Are you washing your face in the bath at this time?”
“It’s not like I’m washing myself… I just haven’t come out of the bath since luncheon today.”
“… I see. Let’s go away.”
Regal bites her.
Pause for a moment.
When her 10 minutes pass and she doesn’t seem to be coming back, Regal sets out to find her herself.
Tumble.
Regal crosses the hall without hesitation.
Tumble.
The people they meet in the hallway ignore Regal.
Tumble.
Regal makes fun of his feet without even a word.
Tumble, Tumble.
You can see the bathroom door.
Regal’s heart beats.
Regal was genuinely curious as to what the hell she was preparing for her event that she still hadn’t gotten out of her bath.
At the same time, there was clearly a slight anxiety about her safety.
Bulky.
Tboob.
Regal opens the door to her bath and stops at the entrance to her dressing room.
“Ma’am?”
Scream inward
Even if you face her naked in her bath, you should at least go in with a message so as not to frighten her.
Regal has always been a gentleman only for Chiba.
I can’t hear Chiba’s answer.
Regal calls Chiba a little louder.
“Ma’am?”
“Ah! My husband. Did you come all the way to find the girl?”
Chiba’s voice is faintly heard from inside.
When she hears her voice, it seems that nothing much has happened.
Regal let out a sigh of her relief into her and then called her out again.
“Ma’am, may I come in?”
“No matter where the girl is or what she’s doing, where is there a place that your husband can’t come to? Please come in quickly.”
Chiba’s voice seemed subtly sweet.
Regal had a hard time hiding her anticipation.
The events that Chiba suddenly plans for Regal are always like this.
It is an event that is difficult to predict, but always thrills him and always gives him a different stimulus.
Rattle.
Regal opened the door and entered the bath.
Just as he expected, a completely unexpected scene unfolds before her eyes.
Shoot it
A bucket of water is scattered around Chiba by her maid.
However, such a sweet incident that causes thick steam to rise and gently expose her inner body does not happen.
Since hot water wasn’t sprayed in the first place, I didn’t feel any warmth from the water wetting the floor.
Shiver.
The water runs along the furrows between the tiles on the bath floor.
The running water digs into the drain.
The water that gathered in the gutter and flowed along it was a deep red color.
“Ma’am, what are you so intent on here?”
Regal’s voice has a hint of interest.
I realized that it was not the event I had originally imagined, but Regal was not disappointed at all.
Chiba and Regal’s golden hair is always beautiful because they knew how to enjoy even these unusual events without hesitation.
“Recently, I fell in love with a field of study, and I have been diligently polishing it. Thanks to the teacher’s advice, I realized that practice is very important in this field. I accepted the advice of my teacher that it is much better to acquire knowledge by completing a practical course, so I have been working with teaching materials myself.”
Chiba smiled and replied.
Regal also smiled at her.
“How proud of you, ma’am. You were so absorbed in mathematics that you didn’t even realize the time had passed.”
“Oh! Please blame the girl for being careless. I was so engrossed in practice that I didn’t even know that it was time for my husband to come.”
“It’s all right, ma’am. She’s not wasting her time in vain, and she’s been so absorbed in her learning that she’s forgotten the time. How can you, as her husband, rebuke her wife? I’m just proud of this.”
“Bu-gun…!”
When Chiba feels Regal’s kindness, her face blushes and she is unable to speak.
Considering the scene around him, the appearance of him and her were very different.
Was that so?
The two people who assisted her around her in her Chiba made her body tremble.
“Rather than this, why don’t we prepare a light meal and eat it together here? I want to join you in your wife’s studies.”
“How can your husband be so kind, the girl is so happy that she doesn’t know what to do.”
“Wouldn’t being with me get in the way of math?”
“Not at all. Rather, the girl might be able to get help from your wife.”
Chiba smiles at Regal, striking her longing eye smile.
Regal smiled back at her and nodded her head slowly.
He came to Chiba’s side and pressed the button on the summoning magic tool placed near her bath.
Beep.
Again, her handmaid whom Regal had met in her bedroom approaches.
Realizing the reason for her pale complexion, Regal smiled lightly at her.
As for her, it would have been very difficult for her to report bluntly to her regal about Chiba’s mathematics.
“Did you call me, Your Highness?”
“Prepare a simple meal for my wife and I to eat.”
“…Can you bring it here, Your Highness?”
“That’s right. Prepare plenty so that there is no shortage.”
“I understand, Your Highness.”
Her maid withdraws to her tired face.
After defeating her maid, Regal looks back at Chiba.
“What kind of study is your wife absorbed in? At first glance, she thinks she is a surgical science.”
Regal looks down at Chiba’s preoccupation with something.
She set up a large desk near the bath and sat right next to it.
No, it was a fairly foreign object to be called a desk.
Rather, it seemed more reasonable to see it as a workbench made of ceramic material.
The workbench was sloping on one side, with grooves cut all over the surface through which liquid could flow.
When liquid flows on the inclined work table, it is designed to gather the liquid that has flowed along the furrow into one place.
In addition, a long, flexible pipe was installed where the liquid was collected, and the collected liquid was designed to be discharged from a place far away from the work table.
“She has been obsessed with anatomy lately.”
And on the workbench, a creature that looked like a human at first glance, but was so deformed that it could hardly be easily recognized as a human, was placed with all limbs bound.
It looked female.
Outwardly, its genitalia were identical to those of human females.
The naked creature looked up at them, rolling its eyeballs anxiously.
“I see. Then, this creature seems to be a new type of monster. Were you comparing and analyzing the anatomical characteristics between humans and monsters?”
Her eyes go wide
She bursts out laughing
Her innocent laughter is reflected on the marble walls of the bath and scattered, leaving reverberations everywhere.
Regal’s expression is filled with doubt.
“Isn’t this creature a monster?”
“Ho-ho! My consort. She is human, she is not yet.”
“I see. But, what made you laugh so loudly? I want to share your joy with you.”
Instead of answering immediately, Chiba turns her head and looks around her.
It was as if she was showing off her performance art to the Regal.
Her regal gaze follows her and looks around her.
On the bathroom floor nearby lay clerics belonging to the Regal family, dressed in plain clothes that looked like low-level healers.
Also, the ladies-in-waiting belonging to the Regal family were lying in a similar shape to them.
But it didn’t look like they were sleeping.
Because they were all lying on their own vomit.
There were actually many people in the bath, but only four were standing on their feet.
“It seems that none of them are dead… Are they all fainting, ma’am?”
“That’s right, Boo. They can’t help but be overly weak. Only these two don’t faint and help the girl with math.”
“That’s right. I hope they won’t be given the role of learning assistants from now on. If weak people fail to fulfill their assigned uses and break down, wouldn’t it be the same as suffering property damage?”
“I’ll keep that in mind, sir.”
Watching the couple converse amicably, the low-level healer and the handmaiden at the water basin were gripped with mad terror.
Because they didn’t feel like human beings at all because they didn’t treat others as human beings.
At the same time, the moment they started talking about it, I also realized that it was a fate that could only be easily eliminated.
Unlike their predecessors, they were so resentful of their bodies that they could not faint sooner and listened to these stories.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
A woman chained to a workbench struggles, twisting her body.
“Uhh! Uhhhhh!”
And let out a scream full of fear.
Her eyes were open, and the skin where she was bound by her leash was chapped and scraped from her struggle, and was covered with her blood.
“Gooooo!”
She opens her mouth and lets out her scream.
However, the meaning of her scream could only be inferred through her context and situation.
It was because her tongue, which should have been in her mouth, had disappeared from the root of her mouth, and she could not utter her full words.
Regal looks around.
Not far away, a chunk of flesh supposed to be her tongue was tearing away.
Tumble.
Regal walked over to it, and she picked up what she believed to be flesh with her tongue.
Pick it up and return to the workbench.
I alternately look at the eyes and flesh of the woman bound to the workbench.
“Khhhhh! Hhhhh! Hhh!”
The woman seemed to go mad with fear.
Hey hey hey.
Shiver.
She was urinating and twisting her body.
Click!
Shiver.
As she twisted her body around, some urine splashed onto her chiba.
Chiba’s complexion hardened terribly.
“Scalpel.”
Chiba lowers her voice and extends her hand towards her maid.
“Yes, yes. The Duchess… Here I, I, I am…”
The maid picks up her scalpel while shaking her body.
The maid turned the blade of her scalpel toward her own palm so that it would not point to her Chiba, and she carefully handed it to Chiba.
Meanwhile, the lady-in-waiting was shaking her body so hard that she couldn’t control herself.
Light, square.
Gurgling, gurgling.
As she trembled and carried her scalpel, her palms and fingers were instantly etched with sharp cuts.
She seemed to feel more the horror of her current situation than the pain of her stab wound.
She didn’t even notice that she had cut her own hand.
Tup.
When she received her scalpel after a while, Chiba looked up at her maid and gave her disapproving glance.
The maid gently folded her bloody hands together, and bowed deeply to Chiba without saying a word, but fully expressing the meaning of her apology.
The hem of her skirt, which her hands touched, was stained with her blood.
“I want you to give me the tools I asked for as soon as possible.”
“I understand, Duchess.”
Chiba turns her head forward.
Shouts a woman strapped to a workbench shaking her head violently.
However, only the cry of the animal is inaudible.
Swoop.
Back.
Chiba’s thin, outstretched thumb and forefinger grabbed the nipple of a woman who was bound to her workbench.
“Ooooo!”
The woman begged,
Squeak.
Gurgling gurgling.
“Aaaaa!”
Chiba cuts off her left nipple with a sharp scalpel.
Took.
Chiba places her cut off nipples casually on her workbench.
Regal picks it up and examines it closely.
The pain of a screaming woman is of no concern to the Whiskeys.
“Looking at the severed parts, it definitely looks like a human. Now, can you tell me the identity of that female, ma’am? I’m very curious about the true identity.”
“My husband. Could you please wait for a moment? If the teaching materials you have obtained so far die, won’t you be wasting your chance in mathematics?”
“That’s right. I’ll wait as long as I can.”
Chiba turns her head to her lesser healer.
Then she lightly gestures her chin at the woman called Gyobojae.
He bent her back toward Chiba once deeply, then approached her workbench.
Woo woo woo woo.
Lesser healers use as much healing as they can.
Even so, the highest level of healing that he could exert was only a low level.
So he could only heal the cuts on Kyobojae’s body.
Squeak, squeak.
The scars caused by the scalpel passing between the tip of the chest and the nipple of the training material are slowly healing.
New flesh sprouts.
The blood stops.
She will lose her left nipple forever unless she meets an advanced healer and accepts an advanced healing spell that can regenerate her missing parts even if she loses them.
However, even with the lesser healing spells, at least she wouldn’t die right away.
“Look. I’m asking for treatment here too. It looks like she got a pretty big cut when she handed her a scalpel to her wife.”
Regal, looking at the scene, asks to heal her maid’s wounds as well.
Her healer approaches the maid.
It is unknown how long and how many times he used healing spells.
However, his pallid complexion showed that his limit was not far.
“Is this how you recreated its appearance?”
“That’s right. In order not to interfere with the observation of internal organs, muscles, bones, etc., The girl carefully prepared for practice, starting with grooming her own hair.”
Tears flow down from the eyes of the woman who is used as a teaching aid.
In her tears, the heart of desperation was thickly melted.
She harbored a glimmer of hope that if Regal came, she would put an end to Chiba’s atrocities.
At least, externally, he was a perfectly moral and ideal ruler.
However, Regal rather seemed to be indifferent, no, she was more actively sympathizing with Chiba’s madness.
In her eyes, they both looked like madmen.
“Does her husband still not know who she is?”
“Hmm. It’s difficult. The eyelids are gouged out, the lips are gone. The mouth is torn down to the bottom of the chin, and the nose is crushed from the middle. There are no auricles, aren’t the teeth extracted in places? Oh, those white things must be these pieces.” . Uhm. If at least hair was attached to the leather, it would be possible to narrow down the subject even by hair color, but even that has been lost to the root, so how can I infer the identity of that female?”
Chiba smiles a bewitching smile.
Her white teeth shine dazzlingly in the reflection of her lantern.
Regal looked at her smile, and suddenly she wanted to share her kiss with her.
“Among my husband’s vassals, this is Lady Aberlour Ultis, the second daughter of Baron Ultis.”
“Avelor. Abellour Ultisra…”
Regal taps his temples with his index finger and is in agony.
No matter how much he searched her memories of her Ultis family, he couldn’t recall anything about her.
“I don’t know. It’s not really the first time I’ve met you, and I’ve probably met you once or twice at a banquet. But I don’t really seem to have much contact with you.”
“Is that so? If so, it must be that Lady Abellower dared to lie to the girl.”
Chiba’s eyes turned ferocious.
She even trembled her hand holding her scalpel, as if she couldn’t stand her quartering.
“Madam, it’s dangerous. I don’t think it’d be hard for you to forgive me if I hurt you even to the tip of her hair. Please put down the dangerous tools and tell me the story of Lady Abella War?”
“Ah, yes… I’m ashamed. My husband, please forget the rudeness the girl just did.”
“What do you say, ma’am? I’ve never seen your ugliness.”
With Tang.
Chiba sets the scalpel down on her workbench.
Their expressions are colored with affection.
The healer and maid looked like they would suffocate from the excessively different temperature difference.
They wanted to escape this place quickly, even if they fainted right away.
“Yes, what lies did Lady Abellower tell you?”
“How dare you, how dare you not inform the girl that you will understand that that unscrupulous stray cat is aiming for your wife’s concubine? He even said, ‘! What’s more, he even slandered the girl as a lowly, insignificant sub-species girl!”
Regal heard her and opened her mouth in amazement.
“I must have been crazy.”
“That’s right, husband. That crazy bitch is not a stray cat, but the girl is sure that it must be an assassin who was instigated to assassinate! A vicious assassin who wants to assassinate the girl and her husband is coming!”
Regal warmly embraced her Chiba.
He gently brushed her delicate body, which was still trembling, and calmed her down.
“So you’ve captured it for both an anatomy practice and interrogation to see who instigated it?”
“So it is, my love, my regal. My husband and my wife.”
Chiba’s eyes get wet.
Regal pulls her up and kisses her tightly.
The handmaiden and the healer turn their heads and ignore their acts of affection.
“Good job, ma’am. Really good job. So, did you find out who was behind it?”
“Unfortunately, I couldn’t find out.”
“Hmm. How did you interrogate, so that Lee Da-ji could firmly hide his background?”
Chiba pointed to Abellow’s stomach.
“As the girl learned from her anatomy teacher, even though some of the organs, such as the liver and kidneys, which are not life-threatening even if they are missing, were cut out, and even though the ribs were cut out, she did not open her mouth until the end. So stop in anger, that assassin bitch I plucked out your tongue.”
“Oh… Interrogating an assassin requires as much patience as waiting for the right time to commit an assassination. It’s better. I never want to see you mentally exhausted.”
“I will obey your words, my wife.”
Receiving Regal’s kind comfort, Chiba’s expression relaxed.
Tonight, it looked like she could burn more than usual for Regal.
Smart smart
“Your Highness, I have prepared a meal for you.”
Regal smiled bitterly at her.
Because he had just realized that he was very hungry.
As if Chiba was the same, she was looking at Regal anxiously.
“Because of the girl’s uneasiness, dinner has been delayed too late. Would you mind if I ate so poorly?”
“It’s okay, ma’am. Apparently, the maids who work in the kitchen are also lying there, so the meal preparation seems to be delayed a lot.”
“Ah… I’m sorry, husband. The girl was too full of energy, so we delayed your wife’s mealtime like this.”
“I’m really fine, so why don’t we finish our meal and dissect that assassin together? I studied anatomy too deeply when I was young.”
Chiba’s eyes widen in amazement.
“Really? The girl thought that trivial studies like anatomy were not something that your husband would be interested in.”
“Heh. I only learned it for effective interrogation, and there was no other purpose. .”
“I’m really looking forward to it, Boo!”
The two finished a simple meal in a bloody bath.
And for an academic discussion that continued until late, along with their practice, two healers and three maids were additionally put in.
Lady Abellour’s screams continued to scrape the marble walls of the bath until the couple declared the end of the practice.
It was in vain.
