on the sofa, felt Luana’s presence and raised his head.
The Duke’s gaze felt hot.

The Duke seemed a little surprised.
Suddenly she felt embarrassed, and she raised her hand to cover her face.
The Duke got up Luana and approached her.
His gaze was hot, looking down.

‘Don’t get the wrong idea! Don’t get the wrong idea!’

Luana muttered in her mind several times.
His long finger touched her face.
There was a small plume ornament.
It seemed to have been attached when the maids decorated her.

Soon the Duke opened his mouth. ‘What are you trying to say?’ Luana looked at his mouth nervously.

Then, suddenly, they heard a knocking sound.

Knock knock

The subtle tension disappeared in an instant.
The Duke glanced at Luana and looked at the door, then spoke,

“What do you want?”

“The princess imprisoned in the dungeon wants to see you, Your Grace.”

“All right.
I’ll be going.”

“Yes!”

At the end of his word, the Duke glanced at Luana and turned away.
Luana sat down and rubbed her chest.

‘What just happened?’

Something strange seemed to have happened.
Luana didn’t think the heat on her face would go down.
She needed time to calm her mind,

She needed time, but the Duke spared nothing.

“You have to come along.”

Luana accompanied the Duke to the dungeon. ‘Hey! I don’t want to go.
Do I have to go there again?’ She shook her head, but she couldn’t say no.
Because of Ingrid, who was taken to the dungeon instead of her, came to mind.

Luana headed to the dungeon like a dog being dragged on a leash.

‘I don’t want to go.
I don’t want to go.
I don’t want to go!’

‘He’s the kind of guy who might lock me up again if I made a mistake!’ She dragged her heavy steps down the cold stone stair.
Every time she saw a bug crawling on the wall, she got goosebumps all over her body. ‘What about Ingrid, who grew up without seeing a single bug locked up here?’ Luana decided to muster up her courage.

After she passed through the two floors and went deeper, she saw a cell dedicated to felonies in the deepest part of the dungeon.
It was where Luana was imprisoned.
There were a lot of bugs with many legs there.
It was a new experience for her.

When she went down the last flight of stairs, she saw Ingrid’s angelic looks and blonde hair.
She never forgot her elegance and sternness as she sat on an old bed.
She’s a born princess. ‘I’ll never be able to do that.’ Luana was impressed.

“You said you wanted to meet.”

Due to the echo, his dreary voice turns even creepier.
Despite his voice, Ingrid’s expression did not change.

“What’s your intention?”

The Duke tilted his head slightly.

“What intention?”

“It’s not going to work out for you if you lock me up in a dungeon!”

Luana couldn’t believe she could stand up to the Duke like that.
It wasn’t an act that Luana could do even if she were dead or awake.

“But I did what you wanted.”

“I won’t stay still!”

“In a dungeon?”

At that word, Ingrid bit her lip and trembled.

‘Sis, how can you be so beautiful even when you’re angry?’ Luana was impressed again.

“Even though my body is imprisoned, my will can’t be broken!”

Ingrid, who shouted so, put on a confident look.
She was a picture-perfect heroine.

“I see.
Don’t break it then.”

“Of course! I won’t keep… What?

“You don’t want to break your will.
So, don’t break it.
Stay strong.”

Luana, who was watching from behind, blinked her eyes.
She suddenly met Ingrid’s eyes, seeing what she thought now. ‘What did I just hear now? No, he was a notorious person.
He might be thinking,’

「Oh-ho, really? Then let’s try to see if your will would be broken or not.」

After all, he was someone who would call for the knight to bring out some torture tools! Most of all, he threatened Luana with it before. She felt a strange feeling.

“S-stay strong?”

“That’s right.
Then I’ll give you a chance to stay strong.”

“W-what? Yes.”

Ingrid answered with a blank expression. ‘This isn’t it!’ Luana glanced at Legion.

“Are you sure you’re just going to leave?”

“Then what should I do?”

“Hmm, maybe let Ingrid go?”

“Why?”

“Because she is pretty?”

“There are many beautiful women in the Empire.”

‘But didn’t the Emperor reach all the way here because he wasn’t satisfied with them?’ Luana racked her brain.

“But isn’t Ingrid prettier?”

Ingrid’s eyes, who looked at the Duke as a madman, turned to Luana this time.
Her blue eyes glistened like a lake in the sunlight.

“My sister…”

But she didn’t seem to know her name yet.
Come to think of it, they didn’t introduce their names even though they’ve shared rice balls!

‘Should I introduce my name now?’

As she pondered, the Duke began to climb up the stairs again.
As she stood hesitantly, the Duke called for Luana.
