Given That I've Become a Villainess, I'd Like to Live Freely

CH. 66 to 70

[Rose]: "That's......."

Words failed me when faced with the shocking truth. I could understand being physically attracted towards people you find cute. But to be so depraved that you would force every woman you meet into being your mistress without letting anyone get away. And then forcing them to submit with drugs too.

[Anna]: "M-Mistress! Let's run away! There's no way you can force yourself to become the mistress of a man like that!"

[Rose]: ".....but, to escape a place like this......would a certain strong knight be willing to help us?"

I looked towards the muscular knight who was still standing just outside my cell.

[Knight]: ".....tomorrow, this estate is going to be investigated."

[Rose]: "Eh?"

[Knight]: "....with the situation being what it is and the whereabouts of you two young ladies currently unknown, the duke house and the royal family have been frantically looking for you. I heard they've been investigating all of the noble residences. And tomorrow is this place's turn."

Excusing himself, the knight walked away to return to his post.

[Rose]: ".....Anna. Let's shout as loud as we can."

[Anna]: "Yes Mistress!"

[Chapter 67]

I was really excited about today, but then the servant who usually brings me my meals quietly came over and stuffed a cloth into my mouth so I couldn't say anything.

(Well I was expecting something like this......but I guess this means that what the knight had told us yesterday was true. What am I going to do if I can't scream......these shackles are weighted down, so I can't really move......seriously.......)

[Damiel]: "Fufufu, my cute princess. How are you liking your life here?"

It wasn't the usual knight who came with the servant this time, but Count Damiel himself who walked down the stairs.

[Damiel]: "Oh that's right~ You can't saying anything with your mouth blocked up like that. It's unfortunate that I can't hear your cute little voice, but I'm afraid this mansion is going to go through a small investigation. You're important to a lot of people. But you belong to me. I'd be in trouble if they found you."

Having his hand reach out and brush against my cheek felt disgusting.

[Rose]: "......"

[Damiel]: "I heard you haven't tried selling out your maid. Fufufu, even though I'd be more than willing to buy her from you. Well it's almost around time for you to come to me anyway. Tell me, did you hear about today's investigation from somebody already? But, it's unfortunate. This dungeon is actually located below my mansion's prison. Someone who doesn't already know the layout of this mansion will never be able to find this room."

Hearing those words, even the small ray of hope I carried in my chest was extinguished.

[Damiel]: "Fufufu, that face! It's the best. What did you think was going to happen? All your friends bursting in here to save you? Like I already said, you belong to me."

The Lecherous Count buried his face in my neck.

Gah! Suddenly a sharp pain ran through my neck, and as I was wondering if he had just bit me, the Lecherous Count grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked on it while pulling his face away.

[Damiel]: "You belong to me. Never forget that. You don't want to make your important maid sad? Then quit thinking so much and just give yourself to me."
