This is forcing me to recite poetry!

To the east, stand the Jieshi Mountain! To gaze upon the vast sea!

Chapter 52: 051. I love you to death!

Capela stared intently at Subaru Natsuki.

Elsa, however, did not notice her reaction and simply said, word by word:

"I serve a mercenary organization."

"The initial mission was indeed related to the half-elf's badge named Emilia, but this time it's not."

"This time the target is you, as well as Rem and Ram."

"As for who actually gave the order, I don't know. I'm just an assassin responsible for carrying it out."

Natsuki Subaru suddenly realized.

"I see! They're mercenaries!"

He slapped his thigh.

"Hiring mercenaries to avoid giving others a clue means they're probably some kind of chosen opponent!"

"First, they tried to take away her badge, disqualifying her from the election."

"Then, the purpose of targeting me and the two maids was to eliminate the people she could rely on, leaving her with no one to rely on and ultimately making her all alone."

Subaru Natsuki thought about it more and more and it seemed reasonable, and he even showed a look of appreciation on his face.

"What ruthless methods!"

"I like!"

"Anyone who can devise and execute such a plan is clearly someone worth assisting!"

Elsa blinked.

She seemed unable to comprehend the cause and effect while drunk.

I was just kidding. She wouldn't understand even if she wasn't drunk.

Natsuki Subaru, however, had already raised the sake bottle again.

"Come! Let's drink another sip to our wise lord whom we have yet to meet!"

The two continued drinking.

While enjoying the fine wine, Subaru Natsuki already had a plan in mind: to find his ruthless lord!

Once you've confirmed that Emilia is worth supporting, pledge allegiance directly, and then request that she stop targeting Emilia, making it clear that Emilia's faction is disorganized and poses no threat.

If the other party is not worth assisting, then he will teach them a lesson so that they will not dare to lay a hand on Emilia again!

Before long, the last bit of wine was drunk up.

Subaru and Elsa were completely drunk and utterly exhausted.

With a cold face, Capella tied Elsa's hands back in place, despite her defiance of the organization's ironclad rules and the fact that she should have been executed.

Elsa struggled for a moment, but was forcibly held down by Capella.

She resigned herself to her fate, her gaze passing over Capela's shoulder to look at Natsuki Subaru, who had already been helped up.

Capella dragged Subaru Natsuki outside.

As he approached the prison gate, Natsuki Subaru suddenly turned around.

"Elsa!"

Elsa lifted her face.

"You truly are a hero!"

I love you to death!

"I really enjoyed drinking with you!"

Elsa froze on the spot.

The flushed cheeks from the alcohol quickly turned even redder, all the way down to the roots of her ears.

She looked at Subaru Natsuki, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.

"I also……"

Natsuki Subaru seemed to have heard it, yet also seemed not to have heard it.

Not long after he finished speaking, he completely lost consciousness.

Capella dragged Subaru Natsuki back to his room and threw him onto the bed.

She stood by the bed, her expression a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

This task was starting to feel tricky for her.

How did Natsuki Subaru manage to break through Elsa's mental defenses?

You must know that Elsa's children were all carefully trained by her. The various inhumane tortures must have left an indelible shadow in their hearts, making them afraid to easily have thoughts of betrayal.

But Natsuki Subaru broke down Elsa's defenses with just one meeting and one bottle of wine.

Doesn't this mean that Subaru Natsuki's methods of manipulating people are superior to hers?

No wonder that clown was willing to pay such a huge reward for it.

I never expected this guy to be so troublesome!

Capella originally thought that he only needed to use Rem's identity to distance himself from Subaru Natsuki, which would be enough to make him suffer.

But now, she has a new understanding of Subaru Natsuki. This man may look young, but he is definitely a treacherous villain who appears loyal and a hypocrite!

She could no longer be sure whether Subaru Natsuki truly cared about Rem.

He said he didn't care; he was willing to give up an arm, or even his life, for Rem.

While he might seem to care, this man appeared to have no regard for his own body or life, immediately grabbing an axe and chopping at his own stomach.

At that moment, even she, who was good at pretending, couldn't tell whether it was acting or if there was some genuine emotion in it.

Can using Rem's indifference to provoke someone who doesn't even care about death really create enough pressure?

Capela began to have some doubts about the original plan.

But since things had come to this point, she could only continue to increase her bets.

If Rem's mere distancing isn't enough, then let's make that distancing even more thorough, irreversibly thorough!

If even this doesn't make Natsuki Subaru suffer, then she'll have to think of a new way...

Capela looked down at Natsuki Subaru, who was already unconscious on the bed, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

That was the look in the eyes of a predator when it looks at its prey!

The sight of prey fills me with delight!

She wanted to see just how much torment this man could endure.

Capella immediately turned and left the guest room.

To escalate the plan, she needs to prepare one more thing.

Or rather, a person, a suitable... 'man'!

Capella, dressed as Rem in her maid outfit, strolled leisurely down the mansion's corridor.

As they rounded a corner, Ram, who was adjusting the curtains, looked up.

She saw her sister.

Short blue hair, a familiar maid outfit, and the swaying of her skirt as she walked was perfectly normal.

Koram's fingers inexplicably stopped on the curtains.

wrong.

She couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

The person before them possessed Rem's face, height, and aura, yet they didn't look at any of the windows along the way, nor did they notice whether there was dust on the carpet.

When the real Rem walks around the mansion, she always subconsciously checks whether these places need to be cleaned.

Those weren't rules that were deliberately formed, but rather habits that had accumulated over many years.

More importantly, Ram didn't sense any familiarity with her sister from this figure.

It was as if inside that physical body was someone she had no connection with.

Ram's expression grew increasingly somber.

She let go of the curtain in her hand and followed silently.

Chapter 53: 052. The Two Conspire

……

Inside the dungeon.

Elsa remained bound to the rack.

Her physical condition caused the effects of the alcohol to dissipate quickly, and she has regained some of her thinking ability.

Although her arms were now bound again, the outer garment that Subaru Natsuki had left behind was not taken away; it was simply draped loosely over her body.

The clothes are no longer as warm as they used to be.

Elsa, who seemed to be neither drunk nor sober, would occasionally lower her head and gently touch her cheek to her collar.

A faint smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of Subaru Natsuki wafted into my nostrils.

She remembered the eager look in Natsuki Subaru's eyes when he handed her the bottle, how he didn't care about sharing a bottle with her, and the words he shouted in front of the prison gate.

"I love you to death."

Even though she knew it was mostly drunken talk, Elsa's lips still involuntarily curled upwards.

Footsteps came from outside the cell.

Elsa looked up and saw Rem returning, her smile fading slightly.

"Why are you back again? Are you jealous that your crush's clothes ended up in your sister's hands, and you want to snatch them back...?"

Elsa almost instinctively used words to flirt with the blue-haired maid in front of her.

If the other party is provoked, it might create an opportunity for her to escape.

Capela did not answer.

She walked up to the rack, and seeing that Elsa's eyes were still slightly drunk, she suddenly punched her in the stomach.

boom!

Elsa's body arched violently, and almost everything in her stomach rushed to her throat.

Before she could even vomit, [Power] had already invaded her body through that fist.

Thin lines of blood appeared on Elsa's forehead.

Then came excruciating pain. It felt as if two invisible hands were tearing the skin and flesh of her head apart from the middle. The wet scalp rolled back to the sides, and even the pale bones underneath cracked open.

There were no broken bone fragments.

There was no splattered brain matter.

Only a stream of yellow liquid with a strong smell of alcohol gushed out from the crack, flowing down Elsa's hair and cheeks and onto the ground.
