Chapter 102: The Day the Film Cut Out
“Haa...”
Several days after my visit to the back alley to confront the Emperor.
Back in the office of the mansion, while reviewing paperwork, I leaned into my chair with a heavy sigh.
“What the hell happened...”
It wasn’t that the work itself was particularly intense.
By now, I’d gotten used to the duties of managing the household, and to be honest, most of it was now being handled by Parsha anyway.
For reference, what would take me an hour to complete, Parsha could finish in ten minutes.
Truly insane efficiency. If this were the modern world, she’d probably be on a rocket path to executive promotion.
‘Just what happened that day...’
Anyway, the reason I was sighing like this wasn’t because of paperwork—but because of what happened during the conversation with the Emperor a few days ago.
‘...Why is it all so blurry?’
I clearly remember being displayed like an object under the brazen gazes of noblewomen, then being purchased and dragged off by the Emperor.
