Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Page 53

Capela did not answer.

She simply turned her face to one side.

I rolled my eyes inwardly.

Is this guy trying to comfort someone, or is he adding fuel to the fire?

Subaru Natsuki frowned.

Is it useless?

He pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

It seems they've come up with a way to make Rem laugh.

"Oh, right, Rem."

Do you remember the joke I told yesterday?

Capela remained silent.

Subaru Natsuki gestured carefully.

"The one with feet and hands."

Capela raised an eyebrow slightly.

What's so funny about hands and feet? Ha, who cares what kind of joke it is?

Anyway, I will definitely not laugh!

I'll show you what it means to hold your nerve easily, and then I'll give you a hard kick so you know what pain is!

"It seems you've forgotten. Then I'll tell you again."

Just thinking about what he was going to say next made Natsuki Subaru's lips curl into a smile.

Do you know why feet are whiter than hands?

“?” Capella raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Subaru Natsuki with disdain.

"Because it always hides!"

Capela's disdain froze.

Hidden?

He asked who was hiding it.

She stared at Natsuki Subaru's beaming face, her mind racing through every action she had taken since entering the mansion.

Her hair color, eye color, voice, smell, and even the flow of mana in her body had all become exactly the same as that maid named Rem.

There can be no flaws.

Why did Natsuki Subaru have to stare at her and say the word "hidden" at this particular moment?

They've only just met, and she saw right through him after he lost his temper?

For the first time, Capela felt insecure about his own power.

Just who is this guy?

Beneath her icy blue hair, Capela's expression instantly turned as cold as ice.

She neither smiled nor spoke, but sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, trying to glean more information from Natsuki Subaru's face.

"Hahahahaha!"

Subaru Natsuki suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"I was just kidding!"

Capela: "..."

joke?

Just kidding?

Is such blatant satire considered a joke?

Did this guy see through her identity or not?

Or perhaps they see through it but don't intend to expose it?

I noticed she wasn't smiling, so I deliberately gave her a way out, wanting to see how she would react next.

Unsure of what to do, Capela could only manage a forced smile.

"Heh...heh...heh...heh..."

The smile was so stiff it looked like it was pasted onto his face.

But Subaru Natsuki couldn't tell at all.

In his view, an upturned mouth means a smile, and a downturned mouth means a cry.

Since Rem laughed, it means the joke was very good.

Moreover, Sima Yi laughed almost like Rem after hearing Cao Cao's joke back then.

These two must be equally happy.

Chapter 47: 047. How could such a good heroine be tormented like this?

"That's right!"

Seeing Rem's smile, Subaru Natsuki nodded in satisfaction.

"In life, it's always good to smile more. How can you achieve great things if you're always frowning?"

Capela was now even more convinced that the kid had just been testing him.

A surge of anger, feeling mocked, rose within her, but she held back, thinking of Roswaal's reward!

Natsuki Subaru had already turned around.

"Let's go, Rem."

"Where to?" Capela's voice was as cold as a frozen fish.

"Go to the dungeon."

Capela's eyes flickered slightly.

Natsuki Subaru, seeing that she hadn't followed, turned back and urged her on:

"We agreed to go together yesterday; there's no joking in the military. How could you forget after just one night's sleep?"

What are we going to the dungeon for?

"Looking for that heroine Elsa? You've really forgotten?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, a glint flashed in Capela's eyes.

Is Subaru Natsuki going to take revenge on Elsa?

Also for...

Elsa cut off his arm, nearly causing him to bleed to death.

He deserves his revenge.

But to be so eager to seek revenge so soon after waking up suggests that this person is not so petty as to be narrow-minded.

This task still doesn't seem too difficult.

Capella's mind was still focused on this mission; she didn't care what punishment Elsa would receive.

Elsa failed two missions in a row, and was even captured alive the second time. She deserved to be punished.

This is also a good opportunity for her to observe Subaru Natsuki and see what flaws he might reveal in his anger and hatred.

"Rem didn't forget, she was just a little sleepy."

Capela stood up and followed behind Subaru Natsuki.

“That’s not surprising, that’s not surprising!” Natsuki Subaru nodded with a smile and walked out of the room without thinking much about it.

The blue butterfly that had been resting on Subaru Natsuki's fingertip immediately spread its wings and flew out of the room.

Capela recognized the butterfly, of course. Instead of stopping it, she gave a cold laugh.

This is also one of her quirky interests.

Wouldn't it be more interesting to let Rem witness her identity being replaced and watch Subaru Natsuki, whom she deeply loves, gradually come to hate "Rem"?

Led by Subaru Natsuki, the two did not head directly to the dungeon.

Instead, they took a detour to the first floor.

As he passed the restaurant entrance, Natsuki Subaru suddenly turned inside, rummaged around in front of the liquor cabinet for a while, and took out an unopened bottle of liquor.

Capela, still resembling Rem, leaned against the door, quietly watching his movements.

What are you doing with that wine?

Natsuki Subaru tucked the sake bottle between his right arm and body and shook his head mysteriously.

"Military secrets cannot be disclosed. You will find out when the time comes."

Capela rolled his eyes and glanced at the bottle of wine.

'Do you think I wouldn't guess if you didn't tell me?'

She is no longer the naive little princess she once was in the royal family.

So what if he brought a bottle of liquor during the interrogation?

Are you going to pour it on Elsa's wound?

Well, it is a simple and effective form of punishment.

She did not speak again.

Subaru Natsuki had already inquired with Ram beforehand; the stone steps leading to the dungeon were located at the back of the mansion and extended downwards.

Unlike the peaceful and tranquil manor above, this dungeon takes the concept of darkness and crampedness to the extreme.

The deeper you go, the more humid the air becomes, and the torches on the walls can only illuminate a small area in front of you.

Natsuki Subaru walked ahead, carrying a bottle of sake.

Capela lagged half a step behind, while the blue butterfly hovered anxiously around Subaru Natsuki, as if trying to say something.

Soon, they arrived at the cell where Elsa was being held.

Capella took out the key and opened the cell door for Subaru Natsuki.

Behind the iron bars, Elsa's hands were tied behind her back to a wooden chair with thick ropes, her hair hanging messily down her side.

Her black clothes were torn in many places, and her exposed skin was covered with wounds, with dried bloodstains running from her shoulders down to her waist.

Most of the wounds on her body were not from yesterday's battle.

Ram came here last night.

Upon learning that this woman had nearly killed Rem, the pink-haired maid personally began the interrogation!

She didn't let Elsa die, but she also didn't quiet the dungeon down!

The noise inside finally stopped in the middle of the night.

Hearing footsteps, the battered Elsa slowly raised her head.

She first saw Subaru Natsuki walking ahead and smiled.

He then looked at "Rem" who was following behind him.

It's the same face as yesterday.

She still has the same blue hair as yesterday.

But for some reason, Rem seems different today.

A familiar aura of fear emanated from that body.
