Chapter 41.4
Silviana was in prison when Bash left. She knew from Nazar’s testimony that she had been manipulated by the enemy, but she herself had asked the queen to punish her. She did not believe that a simple prison sentence would redeem her for what she had done. She thought the real way to take responsibility was to join the strike team immediately and cover her own ass. Still, she needed to be punished to set an example and to think about what she had done.
“…” In the dark, damp cell, Silviana meditated with her legs crossed. She had many regrets in her mind, but also many questions about the future. She often wondered what the enemy would do, what the seeds of the Sacred Tree were, how they would be used and, depending on how they were used, what countermeasures could be taken and, if so, what their future moves would be. Then a woman visited her.
“Silviana.”
Silviana looked up at the woman’s voice. And her eyes widened as she saw her face. Among her sisters, her face was characterized as the one with the strongest animal-like features, with the head of a dog, but the whole face radiated an atmosphere of gentleness.
“Sister!”
It was the third princess, Inuella. She was the protagonist of the wedding ceremony that had been canceled due to the recent commotion. Silviana uncrossed her legs and prostrated herself like a dog.
“I apologize for ruining the celebration with my superficial behavior.”
“Yes, I know. I’m a little disappointed.”
Silviana’s forehead broke into a cold sweat. Her sister had been looking forward to this wedding for a long time. Even if she apologized, she couldn’t expect it to be enough.
