NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20
Chapter 20Thank you Manox for the kofi As I drenched my hands in the bathroom, I answered with a bright smile.“Is he going to lock me up for the rest of my life? Well… I think it’ll be fine if you lock me up. Shannet! Look at this! It becomes a bubble bath!”“Ah, yes…”After taking a bubble bath and getting a massage, snacks were prepared in the bedroom.“Shannet? What is all this?”“It’s a snack for you, madam.”Strawberry Yogurt. Blueberry Yogurt… They seemed to have brought all the types of yogurt. Besides that, the tray was full of healthy salads and fruits.Among them, I took blueberry yogurt.I ate it at once and this time I ate strawberry yogurt and asked Shannet.“But don’t you think there are many types of yogurt? Fruit and…”Lying on my back, I ate yogurt and looked at Shannet. Shannet, who was cleaning out the bowl of yogurt I ate, coughed and turned her head.Why?Why, that look…Wait a minute.Yogurt and dairy products. And some foods that seem to be good for the intestines.I… What did I do before I ran away? ‘My stomach hurts, so I’ll go to the restroom!’ What I said seemed to echo.My stomach hurts…!Restroom…!Restroom…..!And I didn’t come back for a while after going to the bathroom. If so, the rest would have had reasonable doubts.Suddenly, the taste of yogurt seemed to drop. I put the yogurt I was eating down on the table and got up.When I see Shannet avoiding my eyes, there is definitely something…“Did you ever tell Cesare that I was constipated?!”I said with panicked.“Uhh! that… The Duke asked, and I just…. I just answered.”“What did you say?”“It’s different from time to time…”Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!This marriage is ruined… Who gets constipated before waking up in love?I threw away the yogurt I was eating. Things that were sweet enough to suit your taste buds suddenly feel like poison.“Hey, why did you answer it like that?!”“Uhh! As an employee, I could never lie.”“No, But… Still…”If she had said I wasn’t constipated there, would Cesare have noticed sooner that I ran away? No, what good about that I have already been captured!I felt like crying.I became the first wife of a constipated protagonist in Ropan BL.Ugh.No. He should be worried about Gabriel’s ass, but why are you worried about my constipation! ***** Shannet stood in front of Cesare.“Is Daphne doing well?”Cesare asked with a serious face. Shannet really didn’t think Cesare needed to ask that question.Today, after taking a bubble bath and eating yogurt, she seems to be a little desperate… She ate all the yogurt and fruits that came as snacks to make her feel more comfortable again.Then she said that she felt like her lower belly was coming out, and then she stood on the balcony, inhaling and exhaling the air, and even sang. ‘Madam, what are you doing?’‘Ah. There is a person I know named Rapunzel. She lived locked up in a tall tower and her hair grew outside the tower! How many years will I have to be imprisoned for that to happen?’‘Yes…?’ Shannet didn’t really understand if that was a concern for the person trapped in the tower. So Cesare had no intention of worrying about Daphne at all.“She’s doing well.”“Is she hurt?.”“She looks very happy. Really. Really enjoy it.”Shannet said emphatically.Rather, it seemed that Cesare couldn’t get along. Unlike Daphne, who seemed to have a chubby face in one day, Cesare had a broken bone because he hadn’t eaten properly.Shannet looked at Cesare with sad eyes.Your excellency might be thinking of burying the bones there…“Con-Constipation seems to be getting better?”“That… If she takes it today, it doesn’t seem to have much effect, sir.”Shannet said with a face of abandonment.Cesare seemed to be keeping Daphne in a luxurious prison and keeping a journal of observations.“Right. I will take good care of you. As you know, Daphne has a weak body and a soft mind.”In what part?Shannet held back the rising doubts.Cesare murmured in a gloomy voice.“So, that slave must have been in her heart.”“Ah….”Shannet swallowed dry saliva.I was about to receive a request from Daphne that I shouldn’t have received. ‘We need to free Gabriel, Shannet. We could all die from this.’‘Yes?’‘Uh-huh. Don’t even put on that face! Anyway! You must release it! Or I’ll go by myself.’ Recalling that memory, Shannet smiled awkwardly.“What did Daphne say about the slave?”“Uh… I have to release…!”“Hah. I knew it would.”Cesare sharpened it. Shannet thought she had been tainted by Daphne. If not, how can a person be this honest?Shannet covered her mouth.Cesare took an old key from the desk drawer and set it down on the desk.“I will leave it to your choice. If I see that slave, I think I will kill him.”With his bright red eyes in front of her, Shannet trembled as she received the key.Cesare stared for a while as Shannet walked out with the key.‘Daphne. Are you going to follow the slave again this time?’ **** Shannet fiddled with the key.Difficult homework should be done as quickly as possible.Cesare handed the key to Shannet. To entrust her to her will meant she entrusted herself to Daphne’s.I didn’t know why, but Daphne valued Gabriel’s life and death.If someone can shake Daphne like that, wouldn’t it be helpful if he was not in this mansion?The quiet and ordinary atmosphere of the mansion was shaking like a piece of thin ice after Gabriel came.If that’s the case, maybe it’s Shannet’s job to go back to what it was before.Shannet decided to follow Daphne’s advice. To get Gabriel out of here.“Only authorized persons can enter this place.”The knight put up a spear in front of Shannet.Shannet showed the knight the key that Cesare had given her.“Your Excellency allowed it.”The knight frowned and checked the key. Then he licked his tongue slightly and moved away.“Are you telling me to just release the slave who lured the madam away and ran away? Without torture?”“What… How is Gabriel’s condition now?”“After he got caught, he was terrified and then collapsed. He seems to have come to his senses now.”The knight shook his head. He said that there would be no good to sell this kind of slaves.Shannet responded appropriately to those words and went inside the dungeon.Gabriel, with bright blonde hair, was sitting in the dark.They said he had collapsed, so he bowed his head and calmly seemed to have lost any energy.Shannet swallowed her saliva in the dangerous atmosphere somehow emanating from it, and approached Gabriel.“There.”Ugh-Gabriel raised his head sullenly. The pretty face revealed through the long blonde hair is different from before…What is it.Ugh. It had the face of a predator like Cesare.It was completely different from when he was living and working in a mansion. Gabriel was well aware of his plight as slave.So, Gabriel was low-key in everything he did, and he did what he was told to do.Of course, he had a strange relationship with Daphne, though.But now, he has a face that looks like he will bite her if she opens the door.He said in a strangely low voice.“What’s going on? Do you want him to kill me?”Shannet rolled her eyes. It was not the words a slave dared to put in his mouth. But she now seemed to be in danger if she provoked Gabriel.Shannet licked her lips and took a step back.“It’s not…!”A new voice came out. Shannet cleared her throat and spoke again.“It’s not that, madam will set you free.”“… Daphne?”“Yes. Madam said you have to run away and never come back.”Shannet added one more arbitrarily at the end. In fact, if he came back, he would only die at the hands of Cesare.Mercy once is enough. There will be no second mercy.“Haha… Daphne… She told you to set me free.”Gabriel called out Daphne’s name slightly.Daphne was the person who brought light to Gabriel’s ruined life. As a slave, she approached him without prejudice and gave him kindness and warmth.Things like homemade water bags, taking care of the sick, and cakes.Those events remained like an imprint in Gabriel’s memory.There, Daphne saved him until the very end.She was imprisoned in the tower and sent a maid to set him free.Did the heavens take her to him? Daphne had sent a savior to Gabriel.It was clear that Daphne wanted to give Gabriel freedom.So that even Gabriel could have the freedom she couldn’t have on her own.
