Chapter 19
“Hey, hey… It’s already ‘Good morning’ here.”
Dawn amazingly broke without anyone noticing my absence. How could that be?
Although, my inability to call for help might have been a big factor in no one noticing. The morning sun, although faint, illuminated the inside of the well.
I thought I couldn’t sleep in such a place, but I guess I was so tired that I ended up falling asleep.
I felt like I could survive even if I was who-knows-where for several days. I stretched, but my body hurt all over! It must be because I kept climbing and falling.
Jeez, had it been half a day? Or was it more? Either way, I was a wreck. Plus, my wrist screamed in pain with just a little movement. Did I twist it?
Well, the pain should go away eventually. My face and teeth felt dirty, but I had nothing to clean them with.
The bathroom… I didn’t have to go at the moment, but I should start considering how to deal with it. Should I dig a hole?
Ah, ah, but what should I do? Morning had come.
In any case, I was hungry, so I munched on the bread the young lady threw down yesterday.
In one of the two pieces of cloth were 4 pieces of bread with ham and cheese inside, and in the other cloth was a bottle, candles, and matches.
These 4 pieces of bread weren’t supposed to last for last night’s dinner and today’s 3 meals, right? She wouldn’t do that, right?
But it was those guys we’re talking about. It was highly likely, so I should be frugal with my food.
Iyuri-san said he would come over yesterday, but in the end, he didn’t notice me missing. I guess even noble Alphas couldn’t smell anything underground…
I wonder how far his sense of smell reached.
More importantly, did the young lady and master have their fun yesterday? All while calling me a fated pair. Were my lord and lady entertained?
……
My chest was tight with pain. It started again. The heart palpitations.
Whenever I thought about Iyuri-san, my chest would start to hurt.
…Iyuri-san… please… find me… save me.
While looking up at the well opening, I extended my hand.
I had little hope that I would be saved. No matter how long I waited, no one would show up. I scolded myself.
“Aah! What am I doing! So wimpy! Alright! Let’s climb!”
I finished eating the bread and clapped the crumbs away from my hands.
Oh! I just had a great idea! Could I tear my coat and use the cloth to form a rope?
It might not be long enough, but it would be better than doing nothing. It was worth trying.
I quickly began prepping. I ripped the cloth into pieces and tightly tied the ends together. Rinse and repeat.
“Ooh~! I did it!”
It wasn’t that long, but it was better than nothing.
I hefted the simple, handmade rope onto my shoulder and began to climb up the well when…
“Good morning, Ollie-sama. How are you feeling?”
I heard William-sama’s voice from above. He removed the cover and peered inside.
What was with that casual “Good morning”?! Hey! Young master! Let me outtt!
“I brought you breakfast. And some water. Do take them. Here they come. Catch.”
Eh!? Those 4 breads were for dinner!? How much did he think I ate!? No, well, I do eat a lot.
Hey, he was treating me like a rare beast again! What was up with those two!
But I spread open my hands and waited. I wanted food. Water…I still had so I didn’t really care. I managed to safely catch the bundle this time. That was good.
“Last night, His Majesty paid a visit to Miluka and I and had a steamy session with each of us. His Majesty told me that he only saw you as a mere plaything. He hadn’t expected that showing you a little bit of kindness would go straight to your head. Ollie-sama, you must not forget your social status.”
“Wha!? Hey!! Iyuri-san would never say that! Stop saying nonsense!”
I unintentionally raised my voice.
“As expected of the low-class. You’re barbaric. And have you forgotten what will happen to your father and home if you shout?”
The voice echoed coldly in the well. My body froze.
—Dammit!!
My nails dug into my palm as I tightly clenched my hand. I also bit down on my lip so hard that I bled.
I didn’t want to apologize… I really didn’t want to apologize!!!
“I am… terribly… sorry…”
When I said, William-sama sighed.
“…As long as you understand. Well, it can’t be helped. I possess a generous heart, so I will forgive you this time. Because there will not be a second. I was speaking the truth before. His Majesty clearly said that he no longer wants to see you, but because we don’t know when you’ll release those disgusting omega pheromones to seduce His Majesty, I will have you stay there a bit longer. Knowing you, you might try to escape, but if you force an escape, you know what will happen, right?”
He was likely trying to threaten me because he knew I was trying to escape from the well, but if he was going to tell me something this infuriating just when I was about to enact my escape plan, it conversely made me want to escape from the well no matter what.
But my dad and my home…!!
And without waiting for my response, the lid was closed again. I was about to explode!!!
I-n-f-u-r-i-a-t-i-n-g—!!! What was with that guy!!
A generous heart!? He dared to say that!!
Bastard! Goddammit! You best be prepared once I get out! Do you wanna be thrown down a well too!?
I’ll slice, dice, mince, and chop him up to make into meatballs!!
I firmly grasped my handmade rope, pulled on it, and vented my stress.
Goddammit!
And Iyuri-san said that he didn’t want to see me anymore!?
That man who constantly talked about fate, pairs, and love!
Did you lie to me too?! Did you deceive me too?! I couldn’t trust anyone anymore!
I will become a shut-in and work from home.
“You told me…that you loved me. That you liked me…”
My hands limply fell to my side.
Tears poured from both of my eyes.
“Stupid Iyuri-san… If you’re gonna lie, tell a better one.”
I couldn’t see through the tears. I was shocked.
Why was I so shocked? We were only friends.
“Fu… Uuu… Dumb Iyuri-san…”
I didn’t want to cry. I wanted the tears to stop but they didn’t. I didn’t want to cry because of those guys!
I rubbed my eyes with my sleeves.
Return my first kiss and virginity! You better be prepared too once I get out!
I’ll add puréed chilli peppers to your favorite kufa and kick with all my might the thing between your legs so you can’t use it anymore!
Tch, that would never happen. Being sad sucked.
But at the same time, anger boiled up inside me again.
The young lady and master were likely not to do anything to my father or home, but I was certain they would say something to their (dumb) parents. I would bet on it.
In that case, I needed to hurry up and get back home so we could all escape together…
Being told those infuriating, aggravating things, do you think I would stay quiet, suck my thumb, and just wait?!
I’ll leave! I’ll definitely escape!
I don’t care about being a bride candidate! Do whatever you guys want!
I’ll aim for the gap in time between my meal delivery now and the next one.
The young master feigned amiability. I can trick people too!
Let’s climb! But just as I pumped myself up…
“Sadon-sama.”
I flinched.
I hadn’t escaped yet! I was about to–!
I could barely hear the voice from above. When I looked up, there was a small shadow.
A child? An adult? Who?
“I told Solvay-sama about Ollie-sama. Help should be here soon. Please hold out until then.”
“…Huh? Huh!? Hey!”
I asked back, but that shadow only said that and disappeared. Aah! Wait!!
They told Solvay-san.
The shadow told him about me!? It wasn’t another lie, right!?
But I didn’t know what person was there before. They weren’t a minion of the young lady and master, right? C-can I really trust them? I will trust them!
*
Hey, no one cameee!!
What the hell! I was waiting with bated breath!
Was that person a hallucination from my fatigue? No, they weren’t. They were real.
I flipped the desk inside my head1.
I could wait one day. But I actually waited several days with no one showing up. Did that mean I was completely tricked again!?
I trusted them because they were anonymous! Jeez, I hate this. I won’t trust anyone anymore. I was dumb for trusting.
I will also change my name. From today forth, my name is Oll-idiot-ie Sadon. Dad, Mom, I’m sorry.
I waited for rescue and skipped out on eating so I could lighten my weight, but if I knew this was going to happen, I should have eaten!
But I did drink some water. Dammit!
In this case, I will drink everything! I got nothing else to do with it!
I was already at my limit!! I wouldn’t raise the white flag, but I was at my limit!! I didn’t need to be rescued! I could do it myself!
I would definitely escape!
I would use my handmade rope!
Just then…
“…Ollie-sama!? Ollie-sama!?”
A super modest yet super desperate and impatient voice suddenly came from above.
Hiiih! That scared me!
What the! Who was tricking me this time? I won’t be tricked again! I suspiciously looked up.
“Ollie-sama!”
Huh? This voice?
“…Sol…vay-san??”
I timidly said, and from above, “Yes, Ollie-sama! It is Solvay! Your Majesty! It’s Ollie-samaaa!” a very excited and modest voice said.
What? What? Why was he whispering? I want to whisper too.
I looked up so much that it tired out my neck. I saw the figure of the person that I wanted to see, who hadn’t left my head this whole time.
!!!!!
I unconsciously screamed. Then I reached out as far as I could stretch.
“Iyuri-san!!!!!”
