The Lady Who Was Rejected with 'I Love Someone Else' Turned Out to Be the Strongest Sorceress – The Fate of the Prince Who Abandoned Her and the Lady Who Found Freedom - Episode 31

When I woke up, I was in a cold room. My head hurt. Where am I? Looking around, it was a dimly lit room surrounded by bare rock walls. It felt like a prison.

I stood up from the shabby bed and tried to open the door. It wouldn’t budge. I was definitely locked in.

“What the heck is this?”

I was irritated, but after a while, I calmed down. Surely, Alfred-sama will come to help. I decided to just wait, believing in that.

Because I’m lucky, I thought I would eventually be saved.

“Ah!?”

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the door opening. I hurriedly moved to the corner of the room and watched the direction carefully.

“Did you wake up?”

The armored man looked down at me and said. A sword was hanging from his waist. To escape, it seems I have no choice but to break through him. I won’t push my luck.

“Who are you? Where is this place?”

I quietly asked. However, the man did not try to answer. Instead, he threw a question back at me.

“Do you remember what you did?”

“Huh? I don’t care about that. Hurry up and take me to Lord Alfred!”

The man is like a soldier of the kingdom. If so, he should follow my orders. I am loved by Lord Alfred. If I tell Lord Alfred about this, he will get angry, and the soldiers will be in big trouble.

However, the man did not move at all. He continued speaking.

“Not even trying to answer the question is such a hassle. Hmm. Yeah.”

“What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and get out of here!”

“I said I wouldn’t expect any information, and the execution has already been decided. So, shall we just get it over with?”

“What are you saying…? Wh-what?”

In front of my confused self, more soldiers enter the room.

“Wait, wait! No! No――”

They harshly restrained me and dragged me into a dimly lit corridor. They stuffed a cloth in my mouth, leaving me unable to make a sound.

What is this treatment! I am a woman who is supposed to be adopted by a noble family, gain a noble status, become Lord Alfred’s fiancée, and eventually become a queen.

“Mm—! Mmm!”

The place I was taken to was a bl00d-soaked room that gave me goosebumps.

“Even though they are still young, it’s so sad.”

“But it can’t be helped. I heard they harmed the daughter of the duke’s family.”

“Let’s wrap this up quickly and forget about it.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

I can hear the soldiers’ rough conversation.

I was shoved into an iron box and couldn’t move. I heard the sound of the lid closing and was enveloped in darkness. At that moment, a wave of heat and intense pain coursed through my body. Because of that, I couldn’t concentrate, and I couldn’t activate any magic.

“Ah! Nnngh――!”

No way, am I really going to die so easily in a place like this? I absolutely refuse. Someone, help me. Alfred-sama!

In my heart, I called out Alfred’s name. I prayed earnestly for him to come and help me. But no one came to my aid.

Thus, the commoner woman Vanessa was secretly executed on the grounds of harming the duke’s daughter.

I believed I was lucky and that Prince Alfred loved me. That’s why I made an irreparable mistake.

I never expected that exchanging my life would come at such a great cost.
