Chapter 101
“No, how could the small people know His Majesty's deep intentions His? My desire to know is like a chimney! I would not have dared to do such a thing to you, if it had not been for Your Majesty's orders. “
Annette servilely looked down at Ben, who was watching her. She didn't seem to be lying, but neither did she seem to be telling the truth. His expression was disgusting of her as he glared at his eyes of her and searched for gaps in himself. It was hard to believe that such a despicable person could share the same blood as Rafel.
'Something is strange. I can't figure out the king's intentions at all.'
Why did the king choose Ben March in the first place?Annette frowned.If the king had made up his mind, he could have hired a more 'professional' person to push Annette out.'T given Annette any clues.
However, the king chose Ben March as his tool. The blood relatives of the mistress he had once embraced, and Rafel's maternal uncle. This lax gambler was caught wandering around illegal casinos because he couldn't change his habit of his. Hand for the king's choice.
'There must be a different reason for choosing Ben March.'
Seeing that Ben March was alive now was odd. Suppose the king went mad for a moment and used Ben March. If so, he should have somehow 'cleaned up' after that. He should have thrown Ben March into the sea or buried it under the gambling table.
However, the king saved Ben March and hid it.
Annette frowned and looked down at Ben March. I want to wring some more truth out of him, but is now the right time? Annette, who had learned torture through books, thought about where to start. Didn't want to miss out on his fun.
“Looking at you still rolling your hair, you don't want to go out alive, do you? Then I'll show you a little taster.”
Rylin, with a kind smile, swung her hammer without hesitation.In my experience, it was better to scare the opponent to the point where he would vomit up to his stomach her.And there was nothing like physical pain in the den that instilled fear in humans.
Reileen, knowing this well, aimed precisely at Ben's shoulder, her without risk of death, it was one of the most painful parts of her.
“Aaah!!”
I don't think I swung the hammer very hard, but Ben's shoulder she gave a 'Crunk!' The pain was so great that Ben rolled his eyes and shook his body. Bones his dug into his skin.
“Okay, there's still one more left. It would be difficult if you already smoked.”
It was a lie. If I hit the broken shoulder joint one more time here, the shock death could have come. But Raileen straightened her grip on the hammer as if she were going to hit it again, and held on to Ben's convulsive body. The moment his hand his was raised high, Ben sobbed and begged, his tears and runny nose.
“I will tell you everything!! All!! Please don't!! I will do anything!!!”
Rylin gave a wistful expression and lowered her hammer. She didn't mean to hit her anyway, but Ben March was too quick to give up. So he had less fun cornering and bullying. If Ben had known Rylin's intentions, he would have bubbled and gone mad. Fortunately, Ben, who had no talent for reading other people's thoughts, sobbed in pain.
“I, on my side, went to visit Your Majesty!! Originally, I was going to ask for money, but then His Majesty offered me this job as a condition to pay off my gambling debt. So I know it's not right, but there's no way… Therefore… !!”
Annette, who had only exchanged her future for a gambling debt, laughed out loud because of her absurdity her to her.Crossing her arms of her, she suddenly noticed something odd about Ben's statement of hers.Her eyebrows her Furrowed as she asked Ben.
“You dare to ask His Majesty for money? What qualifications do you have? In the first place, His Majesty would not have met you.”
Annette's question was legitimate. No matter how much they turned their eyes to gambling, there was no way that a mere commoner could go to the king to ask for payment.
Indeed, Annette's question seemed to hit the right spot. Ben groaned in pain, but reluctantly kept his mouth shut. Even in this situation, he clearly showed signs of not wanting to talk. Rylin, who had tasted her cartilage her, smiled and lifted Seeing this, Ben exclaimed in a fit of panic.
“Yeah, it's because of my sister's life debt!! I was just trying to get a small consolidation money from His Majesty!! No matter how lowly a commoner this body is, you can't just move on when a blood relative is dead , right?!”
“What do you mean? What is consolation money? Are you saying His Majesty even killed your brother?”
Annette responded coldly, but inside, her heart was pounding.Instinctively, she realized that Ben's sister was Rafel's mother.She knew this, and she was very fortunate to have left Celestine upstairs.
Unaware, Ben gasped in fear. I was ashamed of the ugliness and sins of the past that I would confess from now on, so even if I tried to hide it properly, it was impossible at all. With her ghostly eyes and gave him a proper 'grooming'.
From Ben's lips her her, the facts that Annette did not know about in her previous life her flowed out one by one.Of course, Lapel's past her was also included in it.
Rafel's mother's name was Bella. Bella March. She was not from the Deltium capital. Rather, she was closer to being from the outskirts. Originally, she was in a position where she would never meet the king who stayed in the capital even if she went all her life.
Bella, who was born in her slums her, from an early age she begged with her brother her. Fortunately for her, she was never harmed, thanks to her brother who was always by her side of her, begging her with a woman's body. Thanks to her, she came of age safely and Bella got a job as a waitress at a shabby restaurant. She had to work anyway, because now she couldn't make ends meet by begging.
She, Bella, worked in and out of her kitchen and hall every day until the backs of her hands her literally swelled up. But even though she worked 16 hours a day, she couldn't even eat two meals a day. Daily life in the slums. She ate so badly that the rest of her body her even stopped. One day, she was seriously worried about Bella.
'Should I sell my body at this point?'
Bella, who has lived in her slums since her childhood, has had a vague sense of morality. For her, this was just one of the natural career paths in her world. Rather, there were more women who could not sell her body her even if they wanted to, because her looks and body she were too bad. Fortunately for her, Bella was able to take care of her appearance alone.
So she decided to change her job so that Bella could eat on time even if she had to. She intended to eat three meals a day and dessert if she ever became a successful prostitute. She was a very modest goal indeed. Would normally have sold her body her to handcuffs, met the king.
The area where she was born was the capital of a country called Letan, about 200 years ago.But in Deltium, after a long war, they conquered and annexed Geary Letan.It was indeed a great achievement. To completely absorb a country. Those who couldn't forget the identity of the old Letan constantly rose up as resistance forces, and Deltium had a headache trying to suppress them.
It was the same for the newly inaugural King Celgratis.
“Damn Letan, they don't know how to give up!”
At that time, Celgratis was still a young man, so he was full of blood. Taking advantage of this, he went out directly to the outskirts to suppress Letan's rebels. As Rafel's biological father, Celgratis was also proficient in swordsmanship. The crown was too heavy for him to invest all his talents in his in the sword.
The king almost slaughtered all of Letan's ill-trained resistance. But the terrain was too unfavorable. The resistance fighters, who knew the surrounding mountainous area well, repeatedly hit and run like a medicine.
Combat and slaughter tended to turn even well-educated humans back into beasts. Violence sometimes resembled sexual impulses, making young blood boil. After all, Celgratis, who could have taken anyone as a king, naturally wanted a woman.
However, this was not the capital of Deltium, and there were no high-class cortisans he could embrace.In any case, the number of women he could hold on the outskirts of the battlefield was limited.Selgratis, who clicked his tongue, ordered. His subordinates his.
“I can't help it. Bring a prostitute as you wish. You have to be a clean woman, free from sexually transmitted diseases.”
As expected, the woman brought by the subordinate at this time was none other than Bella March.
