Giovinetta called directly to the Black Rose Castle, where Mercedes Aronzo was staying. She had been waiting for this call for a long time.
"Miss Giovinetta. What made you go to such trouble to call?"
Mercedes Aronzo's voice is extremely intimate. Now, the two of them have become inviolable allies.
“My lady, I have a wonderful plan to discuss with you.”
"Plan?"
"It's said that Irenea lost her mind after nearly dying. I'm afraid she's gone crazy."
Giovinetta smiled evilly and told Mercedes Aronzo everything, not missing a single detail. She listened with a completely serious expression.
After listening, Mercedes Aronzo did not show any surprise. She just sighed and replied:
"Miss, there's nothing surprising. I told you, that girl is the demon girl who seduced my son. She's a cruel child."
“That's right. So why don't we take this opportunity to do something interesting?”
Giovinetta laughed. Mercedes Aronzo also smiled back in a cunning and scheming voice.
"Who do you think I am, young lady? I've got a great idea."
“Ah, if it's Madam, you've definitely made your preparations.”
Giovinetta laughed. Although she always expressed disdain for Mercedes Aronzo, it was clear that she was very pleased to have her as an ally. Both women are as cruel and evil as each other.
“Yes, I have prepared an unforgettable lesson for him.”
She cautiously whispered into the phone. Just hearing her voice made Giovinetta feel so excited that her whole body trembled.
“Are you going to accuse her of being a Witch?”
"That is an extremely serious crime, young lady. The offender will be burned on the funeral pyre immediately, and the entire family cannot avoid being implicated."
Mercedes Aronzo smiled sarcastically and meaningfully. Giovinetta began to imagine that scene.
Irenea, in a dirty dress, was tied tightly to a stake. Below her feet, a fire flared up fiercely. She will scream bitterly, begging for help. But no one, no one will take her side.
“Amazing… Amazing!”
Giovinetta fully approved of this plan. Although there was a bit of fear due to the brutality of the crime, the feeling of satisfaction at seeing Irenea destroyed overcame everything.
“Well then, now we just need to wait for the opportunity.”
“It's time!”
At around midnight, Irenea whispered in the dark room.
Cesar was holding her, woke up and tilted his head:
“How?”
"Yes, it's time. Time to surprise everyone."
I thought to myself, after the intentional fall into the lake and this whole week of pretending to have a mental breakdown, I wonder how many sinister plans they had come up with.
But I have a plan that can make those people fall without anyone expecting it.
“Hurry up and change, Cesar.”
“Changing clothes?”
I can't leave Cesar alone in the room. It would be dangerous if anyone came in when I wasn't around. Cesar was completely caught off guard and wouldn't know how to defend himself.
“No, I have to come with you.”
I held his hand tightly and looked straight into his eyes. He looked at me and nodded, smiling with absolute trust.
We need to disguise ourselves. Both wore jet black robes to blend into the darkness. Cesar's cloak is one I had custom-made, with a large hood that covers most of his face.
"Let's go."
First, we went to the room near the Altar Room. I told the Priest what I intended to do, and he hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed to help me.
“Cesar, you have to wait for me here.”
He obediently sat down on a bench, but tightly grabbed the hem of my shirt. His eyes were earnest, not wanting me to leave.
I reassured him by stroking his hair.
"It's okay. I'll be right back."
I entered the small room instructed by the priest. It is a room identical to the Altar Room, used as a small warehouse for the Church's miscellaneous items. This room has no windows.
In the corner, there was something lying.
It was a blonde woman, moaning pitifully.
“… Giovinetta.”
That's right. The person lying there was Giovinetta. She was kidnapped and is here.
She saw me and shouted angrily:
"Irenea! You... you bitch! What the hell have you done!"
She was tied tightly to a chair. Her mouth was covered with a cloth, only moaning and angry sounds could be emitted. I removed the gag from her mouth.
“What are you talking about that makes you so loud?”
"You will regret it! What have you done!"
Giovinetta was both angry and frightened. She couldn't understand what was going on. She followed a mysterious invitation, thinking it was a secret meeting to discuss matters with the Queen, and was knocked unconscious as soon as she entered the garden.
"You seem to be living well, sister. I thought you were dead?"
"You... are crazy! I will report you to Mother! The Queen will not forgive you!"
She still doesn't know that the person being monitored right now is her, and I have prepared a sumptuous feast for her.
"Oh, is that so? You can just scream."
I stood up straight, facing her with a cold expression.
“Do you remember the dinner party hosted by the Queen?”
“What did you say?!”
I smiled slightly, a rare evil smile.
“I prepared a surprise gift for you there.”
“What gift…?”
I didn't answer Giovinetta's question, but just approached her.
"Are you asking what I did? How interesting."
"Get away! Don't touch me!"
I ignored her screams and gently placed my hand on her head.
“I helped you feel the feeling of dying and coming back to life that I went through.”
“What the hell are you talking about…”
“You will not be able to sleep peacefully tonight, and you will have to scream in terror.”
Giovinetta looked at me with extreme horror. She felt like her mind was being ripped apart. She couldn't understand the evil eyes looking at her.
"I know you really want to marry into the Royal Palace. I will help you fulfill your wish."
"No! Don't do that! Let me go!"
I covered Giovinetta's mouth with another cloth. She tried to struggle violently, but to no avail. She could only make indistinct gurgling sounds.
I quietly left the room. Now is the time for me to take action to make my plan successful.
