(EP-15.1) Do You Dream Of Freedom? #3

015 Does A Sheep Dream Of Freedom? #3

So, Theo, I heard youve lost Airas favor? What the hell did you do to get jailed?

Dolkong, dolkong-

Inside the carriage, the silent Elga suddenly asked.

It took about thirty minutes before she could no longer keep her mouth shut.

I thought Elga held it in well.

What the hell did you do? Huh? Tell me!

Elga was like a curious and chatty teen. I wondered if I could tell her the truth.

Ultimately, I just decided to give a roundabout answer.

I spoke informally to Her Majesty. Due to the lack of respect for the Royal Family, I was imprisoned for half a day.

The words Come with me became a justification to put me in the dungeon. Of course, for Aira, it was just an excuse to keep me.

This was what she really meant.

Chill there for a while.

After being released from prison, I had an unprecedented week-long vacation.

Of course, as always, Aira could still summon me anytime.

I dont know why, but Aira said that she doesnt want to see you or even have you mentioned?

This time, Aira seemed to be very angry.

It was my first time doing something like this.

First of all, considering that she didnt execute me, this was actually a positive outcome.

If it was the Witch Queen Aira in the novel, she would have crushed my head with telekinetic power like smashing a watermelon.

You could say that Aira was acclimatizing to the positive direction I had laid out frankly, wasnt she turning over a new leaf?

What the hell happened? Cmon, let this big sister know. I wont tell anyone!

By the way, Elga, who kept talking beside me, was getting annoying.

A dark expression appeared on my face as I said in a heavy voice.

Do you really want to know? What Her Majesty and I talked about while alone at night?

.. Alone, at night?

Elgas mouth shut.

With a crumpled face, Elga stared out the window as she couldnt handle my gaze. Finally, she screamed with a frown as if she was angry.

Fine. Fine! Actually, Im not even that curious. Didnt you just speak to her informally? The situation just felt weird

She then turned her head away.

After that, Elga said nothing.

It was going to be quiet for a while

So, just the two of you What were you talking about?

Didnt you just say you were not curious?

Between curiosity and the desire of not wanting to hear it, Elga seemed to have chosen curiosity in the end.

That was how everyone swallowed their regret.

It was like asking about your girlfriends ex-boyfriend. They were things you hated to hear, but still wanted to listen to.

Of course, it wasnt really that serious, so I just told her what I could.

I just said I was going to quit my job. After working as a court gardener for about a year, I wanted to leave. Then, there was only a little bit of an argument.

Is that so?

Looking at the windows reflection, I could see Elgas expression, who was still staring out, slightly loosened upon hearing my story.

But she did not stop there. She kept on asking questions in a row, as if she was interrogating me.

Quitting your work?! Why? Are you going to return to the Lioness Family?

No, Im not. Its a bit difficult to explain. It has to do with policy.

Yeah, I suppose so. You are a great gardener But, arent you staying at our Lioness Family mansion this week?

Its only for two days.

Two days.

During my vacation, I decided to spend two days in the Lioness Family mansion, the Lions Den.

The reason for my stay there was to avoid the scorpion assassin who might target me while I was on vacation alone.

Also, there was someone I would like to meet.

It was the person I wanted to avoid the most. Compared to Aira, this would be more difficult and trickier to deal with.

But for my plan, I had no choice but to meet them.

Hehe.

Did you just laugh?

No, not at all!

Elga awkwardly coughed, but she didnt seem to notice that her expression was reflected on the window and could be seen from where I was sitting.

Seueuk.

The corners of Elgas lips curved like a scheming villainess.

What tricks were you plotting?

In fact, Elga was a villain in the novel. She was like an evil character from a previous generation.

Elga then said.

Hmmm. Theo, you punk! You dare speak informally to Her Majesty the Queen? As the Royal Sword and the Lady of the Lioness Family, I have no choice but to punish you!

Havent I already served my due punishment in prison?

What kind of punishment was that? Aira is just too soft. As the Queen, she shouldnt be so lenient. If I were her, Id at least hit you ten times with a whip!

Aira was soft?

This was the first time Id heard this.

Of course, Elga probably wasnt being serious.

She was just using it as an excuse. The main point that Elga wanted to say was brought out at the end.

Alright then, Ill punish you. Close your eyes.

..

This again?

Nonetheless, I closed my eyes.

No matter what, I was alone inside the Lioness Familys Elga-exclusive carriage.

It would be better to just follow her whim rather than getting flicked for trying to rebel.

When I closed my eyes, I could feel a Humans warmth approaching me. There was also Elgas signature apple scent.

Soon, soft lips would overlap mine.

Feeling the elegant smell and breath coming closer, my blood unconditionally flowed down to my lower body. Was this what Pavlovs dogs felt?

Kwaak.

But it was someones fingers that touched my face

Arghh!!!

I opened my eyes and saw Elga twisting my nose. It hurted so much that tears came out!

Wha, what are you doing!?

What do you mean? This is your punishment! What? Were you thinking of something else? What did you think, huh? And who told you to open your eyes?

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Perhaps because of her red dress, she seemed like the villain in the novel with her current expression.

What did you think I, the eldest daughter of the Lioness Family, would do with a blasphemer like you? Huh? Yo, you bastard!

Ugh

Hah! What were you thinking?

Only when my nose felt like it was going to fall off did Elga let go. She burst out laughing and said, You look like Rudolph!

Evil bitch

My nose was throbbing.

Come to think of it, the original Elga Von Lioness was such a girl.

A damn naughty girl who didnt follow my thoughts.

I must have lost my touch after the long court life.

* * *

The Lions Den was a villa-type mansion built by the Lioness Family in the center of Monarch City.

Of course, even if it was a villa-type mansion, it was as luxurious as the home of some high-ranking nobles.

Furthermore, one might even dare to say that the Lions Den, which was located in Borgia, the western part of the city controlled by the Lioness Family, was so grand and beautiful that it could even be compared to the central court.

These were places that showed how high the power of the Lioness Family was within the Angmar Kingdom.

My Lady, you are back. Ill take care of your luggage. And, Gospel.

The old and seasoned butler of the Lionesss received my luggage.

He looked at me with mixed emotions, before smiling.

Lord Gospel, we shall take your luggage and carry it to the guest room.

That was great.

Someone who was once a slave to this family was being given this kind of treatment. It was amazing that there were people in this world who could put aside their personal feelings.

There was nothing to hide.

I had been a slave to the Lioness Family for about three months.

A slave who poured tea.

It was, so to speak, an exclusive luxury for the aristocrats.

In this world, having slaves were expensive and troublesome in the first place.

The experience at that time also helped me adapt myself to this world. I never thought Id come back here in any shape or form.

After all, when I was freed, I left this place with a vow to never return.
