When Albert was distracted, Princess Charlotte leaned back slightly, turned her face sideways, and stared straight into Albert's eyes.

"It's not an easy task, especially when the stakes are high. ”

Lined with green candlelight, Princess Charlotte's calm gaze is terrifying.

Albert was unwilling to meet the princess's gaze, and quickly lowered his head, he could feel the cold wetness on his back, and his heart was beating wildly.

Even though he thought he had completely covered up the whole thing, he didn't have that confidence now, especially under the gaze of the princess who seemed to be able to see through the soul.

Does the princess mean this?

Albert couldn't guess, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that he knew that this was the princess giving herself a chance, a chance to make amends.

So Albert doesn't need to be afraid to stop and be grateful for the princess's generosity, he just needs to make it right.

"Thank you very much for your teachings, Your Highness the Princess. ”

Unable to kneel down the stairs, Albert bent his waist at ninety degrees and bowed respectfully.

"No, it looks too stupid to salute on the stairs, and the two of us don't fit in the right place. ”

Charlotte smiled and turned her head as she continued to walk down.

Indeed, Albert, who was standing at the top of the stairs, did look strange when he saluted Charlotte, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, and Albert knew it, of course, but even then he did not dare to be the slightest negligent in this regard.

Walking up the long spiral staircase, after a long walk that makes people feel the eerie green candlelight from spending so long together, even the already humid air begins to smell of seawater.

It didn't take Albert to say much, Charlotte knew she was about to get there.

It was another steel cast door, but the steel cast door encountered this time was more than five times larger than the previous one, and the behemoth that reached more than ten meters high was no longer something that anyone could push open with their hands. Fortunately, at this time, the gate was already in a state of being pushed open.

Charlotte walked through the crack in the open door, and the scene before her changed dramatically at once.

It was a huge cylindrical space, topped by a rock ceiling, and below was a bottomless pitch-black abyss, a space that was even much larger than the castle on the ground as a disguise.

Charlotte's door was at the edge of the column, and there was a jutting terrace that looked like the second floor of the opera house. So that people have a place to stay.

The dim and swaying light of the fire was the only source of light, and the smell of blood and rancid hovering on the tip of the nose made people want to vomit, and it was not winter but there was a cold that came from nowhere, making people not only their limbs but also their thinking dull.

The most striking thing about the whole space is that in the very center of the space, there is a very large pillar that is covered with steel barbed fences, and the cells are like lattice patterns on the pillars that crowd the surface of the columns.

This is the true posture of the 'strongest prison'.

Charlotte stepped onto the terrace, and the first thing she saw was a group of demons honestly gathered on the terrace, which made Charlotte raise her eyebrows quietly.

A bunch of winged humanoid monsters standing in a heap looked disgusting.

These demons, according to Mephistopheles, are not obedient. One only has to look at the scene of their murder, in fact, they have never been so obedient even around Mephistopheles.

"They did want to rush straight into the cell. ”

Albert knew what the princess was perplexed about, because he would have been just as confused if he hadn't seen the process.

But when he rushed over the top of this abyss, he fell as if he had lost the ability to fly. ”

This is the end of Albert's explanation, and the key parts are not mentioned at all, such as why the demons have become obedient after just a few drops.

Charlotte didn't believe that the demons cowered at the death of their companions.

But I think Albert didn't explain it rashly because he didn't understand this.

Charlotte stood on the edge of the terrace, her eyes glancing down.

"It seems that this prison built by humans does not belong to humans. ”

At this moment, maybe because I heard the girl's voice, suddenly. The pillared prison erupted with a loud noise.

It was the noise of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people shouting at the same time.

No name-calling, no foul language. Some just screamed and laughed like beasts.

In the midst of this frightening noise, Charlotte gracefully raised her arms and covered her ears slightly.

"Prison, it's not just a useless cage, a cage that can only confine a beast without breaking its fangs and spines is not a prison. ”

In the midst of this painful noise, Charlotte's voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

Thereupon. With a loud shout, the howls of the prisoners slowly stopped.

When the sound stopped completely, the loud voice rang out again.

"Who are you?"

I don't know which cell it is, but the lack of light and the annoying echoes make it difficult to tell which direction the sound is coming from.

"You're also an accomplice of the devil, why are you here?"

The voice asked three questions at once.

Charlotte lowered her arms and straightened the hem of her skirt. Three questions were answered in turn.

"I am the princess of Heberis, and I am an ally of the demons, and I am here because I am short of talents, and I want to hire some senior villains from among you. ”

The serious tone and incoherent content silenced the voice, and then there was another noise, only this time there was more of a scolding and banging on the cell door than before.

The sound and anger rushed together, and not only Albert's face turned pale, but even the demons were a little restless.

"Are you there for us to have fun?

"Kill her, kill her, kill her!!"

"Gotta kill you!damn slut!!"

Charlotte listened intently for a while, but all she could hear was such stupid words, so she shook her head in disappointment.

"A group of beasts that can't even stretch out their claws can only roar twice in the cage as venting. ”

This time, the voice that spoke to Charlotte roared again.

"Shut up, you shitty mouths!, bastards!!"

It's the same roar, but it's easy to tell from the noise.

The noise stopped abruptly as if someone had suddenly grabbed her throat.

The sudden shift from loud noise to eerie silence made Albert feel unspeakably uncomfortable, but Charlotte smiled, a gentle and kind smile. (To be continued.) )
