Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

It was as if the wine she drank was forcibly separated from her flesh and blood by a hand, and then expelled from her body through the most inappropriate outlet.

The excruciating pain caused Elsa to convulse.

As the last drop of wine fell, the crack began to wriggle on its own again.

The rolled-up flesh pressed against each other, the bones snapped back together, leaving only sticky liquid and a few streaks of blood.

Elsa is now fully awake.

She was breathing heavily as she looked up at the blue-haired maid in front of her.

"you……"

Capela raised her hands and dug her fingertips into the skin along the edge of her chin.

Then pull it upwards.

She tore Rem's entire face in half.

The bridge of the nose, lips, and eyelids all rolled up to the sides, revealing another smiling face instead of the flesh that should have been there.

Familiar short blonde hair kept peeking out from under the blue hair.

Her petite body also changed shape amidst a series of teeth-grinding bone-grinding sounds.

In the blink of an eye, the blue-haired maid standing in front of Elsa disappeared.

Instead, a blonde girl took her place.

A mocking smile played on her lips.

The moment those purplish-red eyes appeared, the last trace of color drained from Elsa's face.

"Mom...Mom..."

Her voice trembled slightly.

Capela reached out and gently stroked Elsa's face with his blood-stained fingertips.

"That's a very sweet sound."

"I originally thought that Elsa had always been an obedient and good child."

Elsa stopped breathing.

"But what did you just do?"

Capella's finger traveled downwards, finally stopping on the coat that Subaru Natsuki had left for Elsa.

"Abandoning the mission, protecting the target, and even telling a man she'd only known for a few days about the organization's affairs."

"Just because I shared a bottle of wine with you, have you forgotten who raised you?"

Elsa kept her head down.

She could still laugh even when facing Ram's interrogation and torture instruments.

At this moment, just by Capella standing in front of her, her body was already trembling so much that the chains on the rack kept clanging.

"I'm sorry, Mom."

"I know I was wrong."

"It's good that you know you were wrong."

Capela laughed again.

"I am willing to give an obedient child a chance to make amends."

Elsa immediately looked up.

"Please give your instructions, Mother."

"Don't move."

Capela placed his hand on her forehead.

The power once again entered Elsa's body.

Her bones began to lengthen, her shoulders gradually widened, and the curves of her chest and waist disappeared rapidly as her flesh churned.

The long, black hair shrank back, then grew back from the roots, turning into a head of deep blue hair.

Elsa's face looked as if it were being repeatedly kneaded by an invisible hand.

His eye sockets were sunken, his nose bridge was raised, and the corners of his mouth were forcibly pulled into a half-smile.

The coat draped over her body began to writhe as if it were alive.

The fabric kept changing color, and the torn parts pieced themselves back together, eventually transforming into a gorgeous yet bizarre border guard outfit.

A moment later, the person bound to the rack was no longer Elsa.

It was Roswald L. Mezas.

Even the makeup on their faces was exactly the same.

Capella unlocked the chains binding her.

"Stand up and walk a few steps."

Elsa instinctively obeyed the order.

Capella nodded, seemingly pleased with her compliance.

Actually, she didn't want to use Elsa, after all, she was a loser and a traitor.

But there was nothing she could do; this time, when she came to Roswaal's mansion, she only brought Merry and Elsa with her.

Meryl is too young and not smart enough to play the role of an adult male like Roswaal.

Since that's the case, she can only temporarily put aside Elsa's betrayal of the organization and let Elsa make amends for her mistakes.

After all, she really needed a "man" for her next plan.

A man who can make Subaru Natsuki 'jealous'.

Capela transformed back into Rem and turned to walk out of the dungeon without saying a word.

Elsa followed silently behind her.

She didn't understand what the deeper meaning was in Capela's decision to turn her into Roswaal.

But she understood that according to the previous commission, whatever the next plan was, it could only be aimed at Natsuki Subaru and the two maids.

Elsa instinctively felt resistance.

She didn't want to hurt Subaru anymore.

But she didn't even dare to say those words out loud.

She finally found a reason to delay until she was almost at the exit.

"Mom... what if the real Border Lord suddenly comes back?"

Capela didn't turn his head, his voice calm and confident.

"rest assured."

"He won't come back..."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two, having completed their plot, were about to leave the dungeon.

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out from the side.

Whoosh!

The bamboo skewer, caught in the wind, grazed Rem's cheek, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound, before finally embedding itself in the stone wall behind her.

Chapter 54: 053. Re-entering the Forbidden Library

Capela belatedly touched her face.

The next moment, the skin and flesh near the wound rolled back up on their own, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original state.

Elsa, who was behind her, also suddenly stopped and became alert.

Ram came out from behind the door.

His pink hair billowed in the raging wind, and his pupils held only a chilling killing intent.

Who are you?

She didn't look at the face that belonged to Roswaal.

His gaze remained fixed on Capela, who was disguised as Rem.

"Where are the real Rem and Lord Roswaal?"

Capela glanced at the bamboo skewers nailed to the wall.

The surprise on her face quickly turned into a smile.

"No wonder they're twins, they found out so quickly."

Ram did not answer.

The wind rapidly converged in the narrow passage.

Several almost invisible wind blades simultaneously slashed towards Capela's neck and limbs.

Capela didn't even flinch.

The wind blade tore open Rem's maid outfit and sliced ​​through her fair skin below.

But as soon as those wounds appeared, countless tiny granulation tissues sprouted, intertwining and closing up again.

At the same time, Capela's right arm suddenly stretched forward.

Its skin cracked, its five fingers stuck together, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a thick limb covered with black scales.

Ram only had time to take half a step back before the limb wrapped around her waist and arms, slamming her heavily against the wall.

boom!

Ram's vision went black, and the magic that had been half-formed dissipated.

Without horns, the difference in strength between her and her opponent was simply too vast.

Capela still wore Rem's face, but the smile on her face was so wicked it was nauseating.

She walked slowly to Ram and gently placed her foot on Ram's face.

Ram's expression was distorted by the stomping, but the look in Ram's eyes, as if she could spit out fury at any moment, remained unchanged.

“Don’t be in such a hurry,” Capella said, lowering her head and sticking out her tongue with a smile.

"If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead."

Ram gritted her teeth and raised her head.

Where is Rem?

"Haven't you already seen her?"

Capela tilted his head.

"Isn't that blue butterfly that keeps circling around Subaru Natsuki pretty?"

Ram's pupils suddenly contracted.

When I saw that butterfly in the morning, that inexplicable feeling of unease returned to my heart.

It turns out that wasn't an illusion.

"You put Rem..."

"Shhh."

Capela held up a finger and pressed it against Rem's lips.

"You don't think that just because that butterfly flew to Subaru Natsuki's side, he's safe, do you?"

“Every inch of flesh and blood in that body was modified by my own hands.”

"Since I can turn her into a butterfly, I can naturally turn her into a pile of minced meat anywhere."

Ram's pupils contracted slightly.
