Seryoso akong naglalakad papunta sa dungeon, wala akong maayos na tulog kahit sobra akong napagod. Ganoon pa rin, ang pakiramdam na nakapatay ay hindi pa rin nawawala sa akin. In fact, binangungot pa ako ngunit nakakasigurado naman ako na masasanay ko rin ang sarili. 

Pagpasok ko sa Dungeon, agad kong tinungo kung saan nakakulong ang lahat ng nadakip namin. I smirked when they immediately noticed my arrival. Their eyes widened in shock as my presence caught them off guard. I stood before them, crossing my arms over my chest, a subtle smirk playing on my lips. “Hmmm, look at yourselves,” I muttered, my gaze slowly sweeping across each of them.

But then, I was taken aback when they suddenly fell to their knees before me. “Your Majesty! Help us! We are innocent!” they cried out in unison, their voices trembling with desperation. I feigned surprise, my expression one of genuine disbelief, “Really?! Oh, my precious people,” I replied, my voice tinged with sadness. I looked at them with an air of pity, as if their plight truly moved me. “Help us, Your Majesty! My family, they are worried!” one of them pleaded, his voice breaking with emotion. I covered my mouth with my hand, pretending to be affected, but then a cold, mocking laugh escaped me.

“What a pity,” I sneered, my tone dripping with sarcasm. “Did you really think you could deceive me? Huh! The audacity!” I spat, my eyes narrowing with fury.

“Have you ever considered those innocent women you have victimized?!” My voice rang out, echoing off the cold, damp walls of the dungeon. I could feel my fists clenching, my nails digging painfully into my palms as the anger surged within me.

“You people have no shame! I will personally see to it that you all meet your end!” I declared, my words laced with venom. Their eyes widened with terror, their faces turning ashen with fear.

I laughed, a cruel, mocking sound, as I watched the terror contort their faces. “That’s right! Fear me! Fear the weight of your sins!” I cried out, my voice filled with a twisted excitement that sent a thrill through my veins. I turned and left them, leaving them to stew in their panic and despair. My laughter echoed through the dungeon as I made my way back to the surface.

As I had anticipated, the families of these noblemen soon rushed to the Imperial Palace. They had gathered outside the gates, and I decided to meet them myself.

“Your Imperial Majesty!” they cried out in unison, their voices tinged with desperation. In their panic, they had even forgotten the proper protocol of greeting me first. Not that I blamed them—if I were in their situation, I’d be in a state of panic too. “Your Majesty! Please help us!” they begged, trying to push past the knights who quickly blocked their path.

“Relax, people! We won’t get anywhere if you’re all in such a state,” I said to them, my voice calm and steady, my composure unwavering.

They tried to compose themselves, but the fear and anxiety were still etched clearly on their faces. “So, what’s this all about?” I asked, feigning concern.

“Your Majesty, my husband! He’s gone missing,” one of them revealed, her voice trembling with panic. I stared at them for a moment, letting the silence hang heavily in the air before I took a deep breath.

“Did you know that your husbands are involved in the disappearance of women in our land?” I inquired, my voice calm and measured. Their eyes widened once more, the shock clearly written on their faces.
