“Yes, you must be punished.”
“No, I mean. I don’t mean to speak ill of Carola.”
“… … What on earth do you want to say?”
“I think Carola needs treatment. So she does extraordinary things sometimes. Otherwise, she is not naturally evil. Why else would she do those things?”
“… … .”
Gaju closed his mouth at her words. Elisha had already guessed the Lord’s intentions.
‘There is only one way to handle this. For him to label Carola as a madwoman.’
In order to resolve this incident, from now on, the duke and the emperor would do their best to turn Carola and Jewel into lunatics.
You can’t assign intent to what insane people do. All I had to do was turn it into the disgrace of two sexually crazed and abnormal people. After the two people were buried, the relationship between the two families would be sealed and resolved without any problems.
“Yes, that’s right. Carola must be suffering from severe mania.”
“Lord— That’s not true. Carola’s mind is intact!”
“Silence.”
Gaju cut off Carola’s words curtly.
“Keep Carola in the abandoned temple in the forest. And she is forbidden from meeting anyone from today. She will need time until she gets better.”
“Are you planning on just passing up the punishment for insulting my grandmother’s coffin? My late grandmother must be sad,”
Lucerne remarked bluntly.
The head of the family paused at the word’ grandmother.’ He gritted his teeth.
“Yes, of course, you have to take that punishment as well. Since Carola seems to like lying in her coffin, I will prepare a wooden coffin and lock her inside it for three days. I will not allow her even a drop of water.”
“Well, wouldn’t she need ten days for self-reflection?”
Lucerne snorted.
“Du—Duke. Then Carola dies. Please spare me—my Lord!”
Carola screamed. The patriarch spoke indifferently, not even paying attention.
“Then let’s make it four days. That way she won’t die. Cover her mouth and take her away.”
The duke’s servants dragged Carola away.
“Eup— eup!”
The sound of Carola struggling with her mouth shut echoed through the room. But even Zain, no one cast a sympathetic glance towards her.
‘Carola, it would be better to die now.’
Elisha looked at her with pity.
‘Hell is about to begin.’
She wanted to click her tongue.
‘Twice she tried to put me in a coffin. You should enjoy it too.’
But Elisha knew Carola preferred to throw someone in rather than go into a coffin herself. So it was a pity.

The attractions didn’t end there. The royal family was also in an uproar.
Two days have passed since the incident occurred. Even members of the ducal family did not easily approach the annex where the imperial family stayed. In front of it, the knights of the imperial family were guarding it without any leaks.
If you listen to the servants who went on errands at the duke’s house, they disclosed that loud shouting broke out several times inside the mansion. The emperor was a man with a strong backbone and a loud voice. It was said that he was so furious that they wondered if he would strangle Jewel and kill him.
Elisha was confident that there was quite an interesting development.
The following day, Ilione came to visit Lucerne and Elisha.
“Lucerne. Elisha. I don’t know the detailed reason for this. But it’s clear that two people were involved. If I could reveal Jewel’s true identity, it would be a great thing to me. Jewel was a huge obstacle for me to inherit the throne.”
Instead of going into detail, Ilione spoke directly to the two people. Even on the battlefield, the princess communicated clearly and quickly.
“Come to the annex now. Very quietly. Come with me. I have a duty to show you how things are going.”
“Yes, you must be punished.”
“No, I mean. I don’t mean to speak ill of Carola.”
“… … What on earth do you want to say?”
“I think Carola needs treatment. So she does extraordinary things sometimes. Otherwise, she is not naturally evil. Why else would she do those things?”
