CH 129

I’ve Been Exiled, But I’m Alive and Well - Chapter 129

“My Mother has been locked up in the Nutre Castle’s dungeon!”

No way.

If I remember correctly, the dungeon in the Nutre Castle is reserved for criminals. It's also a place where serious criminals who have been sentenced to life in prison or death are kept.

The higher the nobility of the Principality of Agreable, the more privileged the laws are. As a Noble Consort, she should not be allowed to be treated as a serious criminal.

No matter that he is the ruler, he is not allowed to overturn the law once it has been decided.

What the heck is Prince Blanche thinking?

“Big sister Elle, please help my Mother.”

I don't know what's going on, but even though what the Prince Blanche is doing is unforgivable, it's way beyond my ability to help. I can't interfere with that.

Biting her lip and groaning in pain, Ewelynne nodded, “I understand”... but.

“Please cooperate with me then.”

“Cooperate?”

What is she going to say now?

Ewelynne took the hand of the confused me in hers and said, "Help me to talk with my Mother.” She is Lady Margaery’s daughter. I think it's possible to meet and talk to her if she simply asked Prince Blanche.

"I think you can at least meet her if you ask the Prince, though.”

"I had asked him many times! But…”

"It didn't work, did it?”

"No. He said he wouldn't allow anyone to see her.”

Apparently, the Prince is very angry.

I can't imagine what Lady Margaery did to deserve to get locked up in a dungeon and not even allowed to see her daughter.

I can't imagine, but as things stand, there's no way we are going to see her.

“Then, how do you plan on meeting her?”

I don't know much about it, but I have heard that the dungeon of the Nutre Castle is very heavily guarded. The guards stationed there are also very skilled.

I'm not sure if Ewelynne is asking me to immobilize the guards or what. If I was asked whether I could or could not do it, I would probably say the former. But it's impossible for me to cooperate.

It's not like I want to be a real criminal.

I don't want to be falsely accused and sent away just to commit a real crime.

“Sorry, but I cannot help with that…”

“Just a little is fine. Please help me.”

I frowned at Ewelynne, who interrupted me and lowered her head. I wonder what her maid, Uzette, is thinking. I looked at her and saw that she had a dark look on her face. You can see from the apologetic look on her face that it was useless to ask her to stop Ewelynne.

“Ewe, I…”

“Don’t you want to know why my Mother is locked up in a prison cell?”

Lady Margaery has been a great help to me. Of course, I want to help her. But stepping into the affairs of the Prince Blanche and his Noble Consort is a different story.

I want her to give up, but the red color that stared at me was not going to let me go. She was always a stubborn girl, but I never thought it would show here.

"What do you want me to do?”

It’s like me not to be able to stop my cute little sister.
