Lalaminea wanted to delay more, but the pain clouded her mind. She desired it to end already.
She had no torture training. She didn't know how to endure pain.
"Speak!" Henry shouted.
"I— I joined an expedition overseas… It was my punishment for disobeying the Alliance. I… We fought elves in Woodmark."
Tears ran down Lalaminea's face. She was bullied. Henry bullied and tortured her. She was protected her whole life except for the time when she was sent overseas.
This was the first time she endured this kind of torturous treatment.
Henry nodded his head in satisfaction. He calmed down. At least, her story matched reality.
He turned around and faced the door.
"Princess, can I enter?" the magus guard asked from outside. He sounded like an old man next door.
