"Why did you do such a bad thing? Did you really think you can kill a wicked girl? You're the one who came into my maid with a bad idea to me who was still there in the first place, right?"

As if she hadn't washed her hair for a long time, the palm of her hand was greasy, and she brushed it off. She thought that she could beat that dirty little girl to death, but she was so dirty that it was gone.

'I don't have to worry about it now because I'll get rid of her once it's all over.'

There was no need to hurry. They would all be ruined anyways. That was why they should have taken Berry abroad.

'Why do you give me this precious opportunity?' Aria, smiling, as usual, crawled into the corner and opened her mouth as she looked at Berry who was shaking.

"I'll make a suggestion. I'm sure it's not a bad offer for you. When everything's done, I'll make you run abroad, of course, with no injuries."

When she said so, Berry's trembling body hardened. Her slowly lifting face was full of questions.

Aria with a bright smile added a kind explanation again. "You can't live any longer because you failed to kill me. Why don't you just follow me?"

Aria asked Berry, who had been mumbling for a long time.

"Why don't you answer?"

"Ugh..."

Berry nodded because she couldn't say the right words because her mouth was blocked. Then Aria, who had loosened her rope and gave her freedom by removing the cloth which had her mouth shut, recited what she had to do.

"It's very simple. You just have to say a few things."

"Yes, yes...!" She nodded, ready to do so, even if she was asked to lick all the dirty dirt out of here right now, she would do it.

Satisfied with this, Aria laughed and said, "Come back to the mansion tomorrow morning. Come and tell them all the details of what you did and who made you do it."

But in the end, Berry's face turned pale when she was told to confess.

"... Yeah? But if I do..."

If she confessed what she had done, she would be taken by the guards immediately. They would behead her right away. Disbelief rose in her eyes. She seemed to think that if she confessed, she would be sent to prison with the real culprit.

'Foolish.' Aria laughed and answered as if her thoughts were obvious.

"Berry, if I had intended to kill you, I wouldn't have come here by myself like this. Why would I keep you alive for another day?"

Then Berry, who was agonizing for a moment, answered in a very small voice.

"Are you going to catch the real killer together...?"

It was a very bold answer, as the girl who had carried out the poisoning. Aria, smiling, asked, "Why did you do such a foolish thing when you were so wise?"

"That's right. I want to catch the real criminal. I hope the real criminal alone will take all the blame for herself. You're only the accomplice, and if you escape alone, she will feel it's unfair."

Berry's eyes trembled. Still, it seemed doubtful that Aria would save her.

Aria twisted her hair around her finger and said playfully, "I can't help it if you don't believe it. But think about it. This problem will not be solved if you run away just like that, is it? How long do you think you'll be able to get away?"
