Chapter 72: The Fool Tower

Seiya and I followed the crow beastto the royal palace

When I approached the restricted area, I noticed that the Tarmine’s royal palace was in ruinsIt probably becaed because of the previous war between huuarded by ararden in front of the ruined palace

…Did I live here when I was a…huarden that was no longer beautifulEverything was devastated and eeds grew everywhereBut, I didn’t ree royal palace that was probably my previous homeYet, I didn’t feel any emotion or attachment for this place

The Great Goddess Isister and Aria were extremely worried about meThey feared that my soul would react incessantly when I arrived to this placeThey believed that unwanted ementNonetheless, I felt relieved that none of that happened to me so farIt would be troublesome if my memory returned and I became overly emotionalIf that happened, I would be a hindrance to Seiya’s strategical plans

While I was engrossed by those thoughts, Seiya followed the crow beast man and entered the royal palaceWhen I tried to follow thely…

「HeyYou come this way」

「…Glu? 」

Before I knew it, a horse beast man pulled my arm

…Eh!? I wasn’t supposed to enter the royal palace as well!?

「Glu! Glu, glu, glu! 」

As fish-esture withto the royal palace and to myself alternativelyThe horse beast man noticed that I tried to speak with hi

「You certainly passed the enlistht “Yes!”, so I nodded in agreement

「You are now a member of the Beast E」

「Glu! 」

「But, you are…a stinky fish」

「Glu!? 」

「His Majesty the Grand Lion hates fish-menIt’s unfortunate, but I can’t let you enter the royal palace」

Wait!! What the hell was that supposed tobeast ive you an important task」

And then, the horse beast man pointed to the tower that stood far away from the royal palace

「That’s the “Fool Tower”I’ll be taking you to the top of that high place」

—

When we entered the ground floor of the high tower, I noticed that a long spiral staircase continued until the topIt was a very tall tower by the looks of itI wondered if it was originally a watchtower to protect the Tarmine’s royal palace from external enemies

「You can make this place your new home」

He introduced me to a small room at the end of the first floorWhen he opened the door for h space for one person to relaxThere were also desks, chairs, and a bed inside of this rooan to cli spiral staircaseI followed the horse beastbeastHe sure did have a strong physical strengthWhenthat insane amount of stairs, the spiral staircase came to an end at the top of the tower

There was nothing at the top of the tower, except for a wooden door at the centerI wondered if this place wasso insideMaybe I would have to keep watch and make turns with other watch beast menThe horse beast man pulled a key from his pocket and asked me while he tried to open the door

「Do you knoe call this tower the “Fool Tower”? 」

「Glu? 」

「Because there is a fool living in hereA fool without pain」

Advertise in a dimly lit, narrow roomShe had handcuffs on her wrists and iron balls were chained on her feetShe was dressed like a sinner because of her rag clothYet, she had a slight dignified expression on her tired-looking face

「This is Cardom」

My eyes became widely open when I heard the words of the horse beast ht that everyone froht that she would be erStill, she was very thin, her face was full of wrinkles, and she had a lot of grey hairQueen Carmilla looked like an old woman in her sixties

「This Queen is the only human of the royal palace that it’s currently aliveHis Majesty the Grand Lion spared her life temporarilyBut, this is bothersomeI’ll be thankful if she decided to jump from the tower to co of the horse beast antly

「I will not commit suicideI am a priestess who values life」

Her voice tre spirit in her wordsThe horse beast man showed me a table on the corner of the roorilles lined up on that table

「I’ve been doing all sorts of tortureBut, this woman doesn’t feel any pain」

Then, he put his hands on my shoulders

「ListenYour job is to hurt this woman」

「…Glu? 」

「Call me if she shows a little painHis Majesty the Grand Lion will surely be delighted」

What…Was I instructed to be a torture instigator!? What a horrible job this turned out to be…

The horse beastthat s to her if you wantBut, don’t kill herAnd remember, she has to eat once a day」

After a brief explanation, the horse beast man opened the door and left the room

Nohat? In this narrow space, only the fish-dom were left behind

…This…This person was thefixedly at her, but I couldn’t re at allThe memory of a soul was quite different fro came to my mind no matter howat, you filthy fish」

Suddenly, I noticed that the Queen was looking at me rinkles between her eyesThe iron balls chained her legsNonetheless, she approachedto say? 」

「Ugh…Glu, glu! 」

I shook my head continuouslyThe Queen frowned

「Ah, this fish stinksReally, this fish stinks so badlyI see, so this is a new type of torture」

No!! It wasn’t supposed to turn out like this!!

「You can’t speak any words other than “glu glu”You’re a very creepy and smelly beast」

The Queen pinched her nose and continued to talk

「C’ ry」

「Glu? 」

Fo…Food? Where could I get that? Let’s see…

Then, she yelled atan unfriendly tone

「My food was placed in your roo to eat you if you don’t hurry up!」

「Gluuuu!? 」

I tried to run away and ju-willed person…! She had been tortured, and still, she had the courage to show that kind of attitude…! My ined her to be…!

When I returned to ned room on the first floor, I saw that they placed a loaf of bread on the top of my newly desk

So, she only ate one piece of this a dayNo wonder that she looked frail and was starving badlyBy the way, I was starting to feel a bit hungry as well…

Then, I noticed a basket covered with a dust cloth right next to the bread

Ah! This was probably my food!

But, after I took the cloth, I becarilled ar

screa!! …Does that mean that…Ehhh…I won’t be able to eat any food for a while!? Oh no…
