05 Rescue



--Bella Astrice's House--


벨라 아스트리체
"What should I do... I forgot to bring the jewel... I should invite the queen to the next tea party and bring the jewel myself."

She looked so innocent in that blue dress.

---Knock knock knock---

Someone knocked on the door and she quickly opened it, thinking it was a letter from Allen Mohas.


셸린 디슬릴
"Bella Astrice!! Help! The Queen is missing!!"


벨라 아스트리체
"What is that..."


달리에 나탈리
"The queen disappeared after yesterday's tea party!!"


벨라 아스트리체
"The tea party ends...? Then who met at the very end of the tea party..."


셸린 디슬릴
"This is Emperor Bystramoun."


벨라 아스트리체
"No way..."


벨라 아스트리체
"I clearly remember moving after the tea party... Since the tea party was held in the palace garden, you would have had to take a carriage to go into the city. So, you should ask the coachman."

--prison--


마가렛 폭스
"Emperor Bystramoun...? My subjects will come looking for me soon. Please release me quickly. This could lead to war!!!"


뷔 스트라문
"Then just do it."


루카스 루딘
"Your Majesty, there are the Queen's people outside."


뷔 스트라문
"Send him back."


루카스 루딘
"But Bella Astrice came with us too..."


뷔 스트라문
"...I'm going out, so keep an eye on this woman."


뷔 스트라문
"What's going on...?"


셸린 디슬릴
"After His Majesty the Emperor finished his tea party and rode in a carriage with our Queen, our Queen suddenly disappeared!"


뷔 스트라문
"I don't know, but..."


벨라 아스트리체
"You know that's a lie, don't you...? If not, His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't have come out of prison in the morning."


뷔 스트라문
"..."


벨라 아스트리체
"I know this is rude, but excuse me for a moment."

Bella Astrich, with a frightened expression, snatched the key from Emperor Bystramoun's finger and brushed past his shoulder.


뷔 스트라문
"..."

As I opened the prison door and went in, I saw Margaret Fox, who had become very gaunt in the past day.


마가렛 폭스
"Dali! Celine!"


달리에 나탈리
"Your Majesty...! Are you alright?"


마가렛 폭스
"Ha...thank you so much..."

Bella Astrice couldn't help but be astonished. Was the king who had commanded her to live with dignity actually cruel enough to imprison a queen of a country?


벨라 아스트리체
"Your Majesty..."


마가렛 폭스
"Bella...I was really rude before. I'm so sorry."

--bang--

The open door to the mansion slammed shut and Bystramun came in.


뷔 스트라문
"bell..."


벨라 아스트리체
"Really... I didn't know His Majesty the Emperor was this cruel! In the first place, the reason he approached me at the debutante wasn't because he felt sorry for me, but because he wanted to use me for something...?!"


뷔 스트라문
"Bella, that's not it..."


벨라 아스트리체
"First of all, I'd like to apologize."
