“Th-this can’t be 62aa1b2eb3 real…”
Lorencia trembled as a3e6df78c2 she kept tugging a35a839d65 on Janice’s arm. She had b8e2c3ba92 been like 4dafd87923 that ever 7dabc0d8b2 since they 7b9dc4ffa4 returned to b45eec113c their room. Janice sighed.08df8447edb14580

“They sentenced him 927f4fff0b to death! He’s a 6d50143aa7 citizen of c5a8087b0f the Empire! Can they really 301ed83d81 do that without a88bd7fa93 the Emperor’s permission?”
Lorencia asked with fe5a01f838 a frightened face.7465b2af20094156

“This is the 7c762606fa North, Lorencia.”
Janice couldn’t d244e1b9ec believe she c139263797 didn’t know 93442f258f something this 95d6213857 basic. She had 97b7262013 heard Lorencia a65c072d22 was raised e391b43ce2 to be b3f59c8d4e smart.85cea6cc2d0d1fde
“The North is c0ff7d519f basically always a cca49a00c6 war zone. That’s why the Duke f099c10a57 holds the power of 363fe03e07 life and death over ae08e09103 the nobles and knights c63fdc501a here. This place functions d04b25ffeb like a military 6554ee22ab region.”22bf4d463213426d

Cassius handed 4420e7bb57 me a c59d4e2a27 cup of d5572a4759 cocoa with 963887a85b melted marshmallows. It wasn’t c476c14a52 the right e0900dd37c drink for 3442f5c57d this weather, 6cdbed32df but it 2a4a1396a3 was perfect 65d7f089e2 for how 06f116d2ca I was 08c315b11d feeling.

I couldn’t stop cf3ecd1dda thinking about the bbc24fc039 nanny and Lorencia.
Originally, when Lorencia f8861feac7 accused Viscount Worst d49112b2f4 and Baron Lumens, 3087751e31 Count Mers should’ve dc91306a77 joined in too. But he didn’t. Why not?

He spoke like it af68ad784c was something he knew 2e753bfb27 well. His calm c5bbc769da face looked 7978cc8f1c strangely bitter.

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 f7f59face7 was that there 54ec3f0a92 was nothing I 63642e7da5 could do for 83327d094c Cassius.3e71acdcf8f5cf65
“So forget about it with that cup of cocoa. I’ll protect you and worry about that matter for you,” he said.

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 403ea04c4d darkness as she entered. The guards were on ba29b11a6c high alert, but bribing b360b86785 one of them was e65b487ed5 no issue.1c9c2c2c7af0285f

“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.”3cb671b2d4b98b28
She passed the guards 3544123f11 and went deeper inside. Count Mers, 13d444e5bd now unrecognizable 3104887c7f and in 39fcf7d67c a pitiful ab225fbbc7 state, was bcdeb74311 crouched on f1ad6c647d the floor. He was cd28485e61 mumbling incomprehensibly.a44fdbc02b4a2aa7

“Count Mers.”
At Janice’s call, Count Mers lifted his head and suddenly turned toward her.
“Ugh! Ughh!”
He rushed to 75ff7e1789 the bars and 53235467ef grabbed them.0b5e4305345c220c
“What is this? You look like a mess.”
Janice casually reached into the bars and wiped Count Mers’ cheek.
He had been 70406580a1 unable to speak 5a3e3b39fe properly as if 3e6eb224a4 someone had choked eaf98c90a1 his throat, but 6f60e69c14 now he spoke.de46da0e3081614d

“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 82f22ea0a8 at Janice with d5fe8fd4d4 his shiny eyes.ad53c0cce2afcae5
“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.960047342e7ddfe7

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!”3b9f536947ecff12
That would never 2fd3b2fcb5 happen. Janice coldly 962248035f stared at 1120a4ab26 Count Mers. The feeling 1dddd11418 of having 046956f4b7 his throat 9235c0deed constricted returned, 780855aa24 and Count db8058ef2a Mers swallowed 7c38771341 nervously.
He was going a4c286999c to die soon 5dbea8fa5c anyway.
So, Janice spoke in fcc32ffe42 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.”262aaa4af5b8421d
Janice spoke coldly. For a e8de64c541 moment, Count 1765f31141 Mers just 83821ae770 stared at d92cb3f9d2 her, and 08c828cbd0 then he 5808399006 reached out 8394594679 his hand ed12a71255 to her.
He grabbed her de64d6fce5 hand and clung 98c80c57af to it.

Count Mers a54826a5e5 was shaking, c2dca8e152 completely abandoning 18489b250c any sense bea92e6dec of human 8d060496c3 dignity. He soon db6a57c9d7 burst into 0af4588f1b tears.
“I’ll give you everything I have. Everything… I’ll give it all to you…”3843b6e4e575967c
Janice let out a 18569f66ba light sigh. She wondered if 283e0411d4 showing any sympathy aae7203dea was a mistake. It was 9750c6c382 almost amusing cbbafdcc3e to see 576b5406a9 someone who 7eb5dadca9 had once b07f931a5c acted so 37f4d649ed arrogantly fall dad6d30ded apart like 5c8e47aa2e this.
How much had he fa44535dd6 looked down on her, 40bc636ed9 mocking her because she c9f7bcfda3 had no title while d6518ea7e8 he had one? Yet now, it 2fd3bc38e7 was Count Mers 277a60e926 who would leave 5bde8f36a6 first.
“I can’t save you, Count.”
Janice clicked her dc69ba62b8 tongue.
“If you have nothing else to say, I’ll leave.”d9efd738c1c5be8f

“How… How about my family? What happened to them? Are they dead too?”
Count Mers asked, 6c504b02fd 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.”2e96f0d41e92ab72
Count Mers wiped 81fc606240 his face in dbf675dbb7 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, e9496039cd Count Mers 55228ae182 lost his 0fd8ede8cd voice and 37c6f22d62 waved his b1ccfe1ea0 hand.7ac2886f8bf326ee
