When I Announced A Divorce, The Obsessive Maniac Went Crazy

Chapter 19

There was also a confinement scene in the original. However, the place where Gabriel was imprisoned was not in this old tower, but in the mansion’s dungeon.

Even in midsummer, the dungeon with a chilly atmosphere was like a tomb, but this place was better than that at least.

After all, it was the right answer to run away as quickly as possible.

All of a sudden, Gabriel chased me and twisted it… 

I’ll have to do it better next time. After I’m out of here.

I laid myself down on the old bed. Although it was a little dirty, it wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t lie down.

After all, I’m tired and I’m going to die.

“Let’s go to sleep.”

I’ll think about it tomorrow after I sleep.

I thought maybe I might not be able to sleep… As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep. Hah, really.

****

“Go in!”

Gabriel was thrown to the cold basement floor. His bones thumped authentically, but no one felt sorry for him.

Gabriel, shaken by the pain, crawled in front of the iron bars. Gabriel cried out in a tightly closed prison cell.

“Madam Daphne! Where did you take madam Daphne?”

The most important thing to Gabriel right now was Daphne. Earlier, Daphne had also been dragged along by Cesare in a rough way.

“You don’t have to know it!”

The knight who had brought Gabriel kicked him as he was entangled in the iron bars. Gabriel fell to the side, wrapping his arms around his stomach. It hurt so much that I thought I was going to lose my mind.

As he moaned and covered his stomach, he didn’t stop asking about Daphne.

“Tell me please. Where did you take madam Daphne? Madam Daphne did nothing wrong. I seduced her!”

“Yes, you. If you want to die intact with your limbs attached, it would be better not to talk like that in front of Your Excellency.”

When Daphne, the mansion’s hostess, disappeared and it was later revealed that the slave who had recently entered the mansion was also missing, Cesare was furious.

None of the servants had ever seen their master so angry.

To them, Cesare was such an existence. And Gabriel, who seduced the owner’s wife and caused a riot in the house, is garbage that can’t be thrown away.

How dare you insult the kind and benevolent Daphne.

It was like repaying the favor with an enemy.

“Your disposition will be decided by yourself.”

A voice filled with contempt descended heavily. The eyes full of hostility pierced his entire body.

Gabriel was used to those feelings. It was the way other slaves looked at him as he worked as a slave in the hunting grounds house.

When I was comforted by this mansion, and the wife of this mansion was friendly with him, the eyes of the employees looking at him were like that.

And maybe even before that-

“Ugh.”

Gabriel wraps his head around. The unbearable pain came crashing down like a wave. It was as if someone was stabbing him in the head with a large needle.

“Daphne…”

At the last whisper, Gabriel fainted on the cold stone floor.

****

“Hoam.”

I woke up with a sloppy yawn. Yesterday I fell asleep because I was so tired. It seemed a little noisy in the middle, but I slept well without waking up.

“What’s this?”

I looked around the room and widened my eyes. Apparently, last night I slept in an old room at the top of a dirty tower. But now, it was decorated brilliantly as if it had come from a luxury hotel.

“Is it the same room?”

For a moment, I wondered if I had been moved to another room in the mansion, but when I looked closely, it looked exactly like the rooftop room where I was imprisoned yesterday.

Above all, the tightly closed door was telling me that last night’s scene wasn’t a dream.

So what all these?

The fireplace, which had no warmth, was full of firewood and was burning.

Tea tables and chairs that were worn out and likely to break have disappeared, and new furniture that did not exist yesterday took its place.

A vase full of flowers was placed next to the decoration, and whenever a refreshing breeze blew through the open window, a delicate scent of flowers wafted out.

Now that I see, the bed sheets and cushions on which I was sleeping have all been replaced with new ones.

Next to it is a basket of fruits… 

I don’t know what the hell going on.

Without knowing what was going on, I fell back on my bed. Certainly, the softness of the bedding was different from yesterday.

Did they do it all night long? what is all this.

I laid down and ate a grape from the fruit basket.

Is this ok?

“It’s delicious.”

The unintentional thinking began.

This isn’t bad either… 

Such a thought suddenly occurred to me.

*****

When Gabriel, who had fainted from headache, woke up, he regained his lost memory.

Gabriel remembered everything about why he was in the woods and how he lost his memory.

Gabriel’s eyes gleamed in the darkness. Gabriel had the status and power to protect Daphne.

If he can get out of here, Gabriel will be able to make contact with those who may be looking for him.

Gabriel decided what he had to do. And the reason why you must leave Burstoad and return to his place!

There will definitely be a chance to get out of here. Even a small opportunity will never be missed!

*****

It was Cesare who locked Daphne and was rather restless.

Yesterday, he tortured people all morning and made them decorate the tower. Today, he waited all day for a call from the tower.

Cesare was pacing through the office. Cesare followed Joseph with his eyes.

Why the hell are you doing that? He was about to burst into laughter. In fact, Daphne was very quiet.

It was hard to believe that such a carefree Daphne would have escaped with Gabriel.

Last night, when I went to the manager to repair the tower, I was not asleep with a calm face.

And she  didn’t wake up during the construction.

According to Cesare… 

Even if someone said she takes medicine and falls asleep, I would believe it.

With Daphne like that, Cesare is worrying about nothing.

“If you’re so worried, you’d better stay locked up in the tower together.”

“Is that so?”

What else would it be? There is so much work to be done.

Didn’t all of Daphne’s festival preparations pass over to Cesare?

Cesare took a deep breath.

“I’ve been thinking about it.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Don’t you think Daphne is adjusting well to the tower now? So, I think it was because of me that Daphne ran away.”

Joseph nodded with a serious expression on his face.

Cesare’s words were not without a lie. Daphne was naturally good at taking care of the affairs of the estate and was quick to get things done.

Still, leave the festival to the fullest and solve the accounting problem.

Daphne’s work must have been overburdened.

If Joseph also has a lot of work, he will resigns and wants to run away, so how could it be different from Daphne?

Joseph encouraged Cesare to introspect.

“It sounds like you are right. Your Excellency.”

“Haah….”

“By the way, what about the slave?”

“Gabriel….”

Cesare’s eyes darkened. It was Cesare who brought Gabriel here. It was Cesare who built a bridge between Gabriel and Daphne.

“I’m thinking of leaving Daphne to deal with that slave.”

“It’s a good choice. You must refrain from being hated by madam any more.”

Cesare sharpened it.

When I think of Gabriel, an uncontrollable anger often rises.

However, Cesare was his benefactor.

If I had ignored Gabriel as he was running away from the forest, he would have been caught by a Triever someday and beaten to the point where he would die.

Even if he escaped safely, he might have encountered something difficult somewhere.

However, Gabriel was found by Cesare and had not been favored until now.

In fact, compared to the life of slavery, the life of a servant of the Duke mansion would have been nothing less than heavenly. But Gabriel hit Cesare in the back of the head.

If possible, he would like to tear Gabriel’s limbs to death, but unfortunately he has already caught Daphne’s eyes.

“I don’t have an answer.”

“Yes. So you shouldn’t have brought it in in the first place.”

Cesare sighed in regret.

****

The main point of this Tower is that Shannet is also with me.

Wow… I think this is enough for me to live here for the rest of my life.

“Madam…. Don’t you want to get out of here? If you are frustrated. You can blame him.”

What?
