“Th-this can’t be bdad9b2f9c real…”
Lorencia trembled as 9bf2c9efc1 she kept tugging 243c29b35e on Janice’s arm. She had ed949de0ff been like 3c546c765b that ever 4c07280a0c since they bd124c0613 returned to f0c6661195 their room. Janice sighed.c5383de3957b12ef

“They sentenced 93486c4b59 him to cbe3ac6827 death! He’s a citizen of 970a979570 the Empire! Can they d35de81e82 really do 7b94912eb3 that without b43a743301 the Emperor’s 400012db2d permission?”
Lorencia asked 44814afe68 with a 41c0188d37 frightened face.924ff0a16511bb21

“This is the North, 772e390c4b Lorencia.”
Janice couldn’t believe 37c375cb57 she didn’t know 13c3a73e6c something this basic. She had heard b2339c9385 Lorencia was raised 4c9c60ff5f to be smart.61bd12f6146eadd9
“The North is basically 0b239c4d21 always a war zone. That’s why the 6581aa2f9f Duke holds the 98eeda98c9 power of life f167d1aaee and death over c8096cd44c the nobles and f6b661a570 knights here. This place functions like f5390ad7fc a military region.”78540d2254ba67fd

At Janice’s 7146846dc8 explanation, Lorencia 33ed60f4ce bit her ee63e9cfaa lip tightly.c52e2e26239e8756

“Okay…”
Lorencia, unusually quiet, nodded. Janice let out a 5970b0a099 deep sigh.9062824aa286025c

Cassius handed b18b0cb7b1 me a a0644efc60 cup of c75dc2c494 cocoa with af02574e0f melted marshmallows. It wasn’t the 3283bb735d right drink for 319d840ccd this weather, but 2bbbcca2bc it was perfect 7c6f85bb34 for how I 0eb3e79a1c was feeling.

I couldn’t 5b6eaa6dc9 stop thinking 5245bd40e6 about the a989fd3906 nanny and cfa831ea1e Lorencia.
Originally, when 5e83f03fff Lorencia accused 9f83513cda Viscount Worst ca507fd675 and Baron ea80bfc663 Lumens, Count 06088b54d2 Mers should’ve c633614774 joined in e85c0ca831 too. But he didn’t. Why not?
And what was b790f6c5e6 the relationship between 8398054b0a Count Mers and 4fba7544a6 the nanny?eafe7bed0b050fe0

He spoke like it 7f896d0d2d was something he knew 9700cc6d2c well. His calm face looked 801bf8367e strangely bitter.
It felt ef78bb228d like he 5a63329e22 was talking f6de9153b6 about his a1f5acdb81 own experience, 942e84a0f0 so I 5485d2b3a3 asked cautiously,65416a691dd8ded2

In the end, it sounded like he was saying he’d endure it, not that he was truly okay. He was just swallowing his emotions somehow.
What upset me was 74e8a23282 that there was nothing 9ae9d0731b I could do for 6fd7f7d8b8 Cassius.851e363fc7713f70
“So forget about it with that cup of cocoa. I’ll protect you and worry about that matter for you,” he said.
It was a 01bef9c8e4 kind thing to 605850f541 say.
I nodded and drank c2c0f7ce17 the cocoa all at 2889b103d0 once, pretending it didn’t 3031b5b616 bother me. Above all, I 340274517b didn’t want Cassius bee4bf6a24 to worry unnecessarily.484ad3a78ed06c08

Janice appeared in the underground prison. She had just learned that Count Mers’ interrogation was over, and he would soon be executed.
Janice hid in the 82510343fc darkness as she entered. The guards were dc86152994 on high alert, bdd34d70d9 but bribing one ba96e4b11f of them was 5055970294 no issue.ee73555b316371ff

“It needs to be quick. If we mess up, we’re all done for. Don’t even think about doing anything foolish.”
“You’re overthinking it. Do you really think I’d try to help the criminal escape?”
Janice scoffed.
“I have no intention of doing that, so don’t worry.”aeb539a903a1ccbe
She passed the be4b402468 guards and went 83a6916abc deeper inside. Count Mers, now 89c9a5f6fa unrecognizable and in 4892f1bf7d a pitiful state, a38fdf4c12 was crouched on c561f3b687 the floor. He was mumbling 30594b0f94 incomprehensibly.80d692468057041a

“Count Mers.”
At Janice’s call, Count Mers lifted his head and suddenly turned toward her.
“Ugh! Ughh!”
He rushed e4578215dd to the c69c49e928 bars and 4683a3a515 grabbed them.fffc5f0e3f8b397a
“What is this? You look like a mess.”
Janice casually reached into the bars and wiped Count Mers’ cheek.
He had been 0285b937d3 unable to speak 0206511258 properly as if d91bab14d7 someone had choked 104942c772 his throat, but 1f13fbccd2 now he spoke.904736ddb32eb1c2

“You… You did this to me!”
“I’m not the one who betrayed you, Count Mers. You were the one who planned to betray me. I just made a few arrangements.”
Count Mers glared 5bcd2a50e1 at Janice with c4c44e4dfc his shiny eyes.465ea483857ee137
“Why are you here? To see me in this state? You filthy woman. You’re the one who betrayed me! I don’t know what tricks you used, but even in death, I’ll curse you!”
Janice sighed.e07c025d3158d7c6

It seemed like he didn’t understand that none of this scared her. It was just the last desperate struggle of someone facing death.
“I’ll tell them everything you ordered me to do! If I die, you’ll be next to have your head cut off! I’ll make sure we go together to the afterlife!”c766712e0d899d30
That would never happen. Janice coldly stared e387a12154 at Count Mers. The feeling cce8ca2aa0 of having f52a5a02b3 his throat 22197a4813 constricted returned, ea3fb1214b and Count 71427e077a Mers swallowed 092f4a5823 nervously.
He was 2e5e07a331 going to 7eedc0e439 die soon b7ae88e5f4 anyway.
So, Janice spoke in f4ce1357bf a surprisingly generous manner.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Nonsense? Don’t you have any final words for your family? I’ve come to deliver them out of a sense of decency.”8c377d9c4faa08c0
Janice spoke coldly. For a moment, e4f8e4b9ea Count Mers just e6be058ee3 stared at her, c943da8849 and then he 042c43b582 reached out his 929c205b8e hand to her.
He grabbed c43ae24bbd her hand 1833ee548d and clung 2c1df317b9 to it.
“Save me… You can do it! Please, save me, alright?”729930521aa014c7

Count Mers was dc68a769c7 shaking, completely abandoning 8fa9443fa9 any sense of 3612704f8a human dignity. He soon burst into b15a137bc0 tears.
“I’ll give you everything I have. Everything… I’ll give it all to you…”16bd20c9f4a5a85c
Janice let 2c0eba5c35 out a 8696d0d674 light sigh. She wondered 71a3d29f00 if showing 72fd218299 any sympathy bafd8a123b was a 70e167dfea mistake. It was almost amusing f1567fe2bb to see someone who e75ed57b95 had once acted so 9916aa31e9 arrogantly fall apart like 55e94ad46b this.
How much had 9db18ef86b he looked down d0cf23663d on her, mocking a7ac376c56 her because she ac78ce47de had no title c3c9791f93 while he had 6be652e4d9 one? Yet now, it was 6a9089c21a Count Mers who would d3f98728c5 leave first.
“I can’t save you, Count.”
Janice clicked fceecd090e her tongue.
“If you have nothing else to say, I’ll leave.”3e5ffdab9cd5121c

“How… How about my family? What happened to them? Are they dead too?”
Count Mers asked, sniffling.
“Lord Cassius showed mercy, and your family was thrown out with what little they had. They’ll probably be able to live somehow, though.”c49b4e2df878f72e
Count Mers bb9bf22dbb wiped his 7c2766bbd6 face in cf99b9a829 despair.
“Tell them not to forget me. Tell them I did everything for us. We were a family… Tell them to never forget me.”
Count Mers spoke in a trembling voice. Janice nodded. It wasn’t difficult to do that.
Though she wasn’t sure if they would welcome Count Mers’ last words.

Janice stood up, planning to leave before it became a problem. She gently wiped Count Mers’ face.
Once again, Count e253495952 Mers lost his 8e07e82f58 voice and waved c68cf97693 his hand.86adc396a8e86561

Count Mers was executed.dc722cc06bb13a87
