Yehey!! Bonus Chapters 3/5

Stupid

Whats going on?

Theodore backed away, unsure of why she appeared.

No way, was Elise swayed by her kindness?! Thats odd werent Hugo and his crew on the watch? They would never betray me, and theres no way theyd let Elise lead her away!

While Theodore was upset, Rishe turned her gaze to the right.

Your Highness Arnold.

She called his name quite awkwardly. And her expression was somewhat tense.

Theodore knew that they hadnt been in contact since that night in the chapel.

He didnt know what had happened, but his brother was unperturbed with the awkward look on Rishes face.

It seems my foolish brother has caused you trouble. Im sorry.

No, its not like that

According to this one, you were locked up in a place that was almost a prison. Did you get out through the window? Or have you drilled a hole in the wall?

I-Is that a question? I got out through the door as usual!

Hahaha. What a usual way to get out of a locked door with guards.

Although Rishe was out of sorts, the tension disappeared from her face, and she seemed relieved.

His brother was enjoying himself, but Theodore was having none of it.

What the heck!

He clenched his fists tightly and glared at Rishe.

How did you get here? How the hell did you get out of that place?!

Your Highness Theodore.

I knew it. Somebody must have betrayed me. Otherwise, it would have been impossible! What have I ever done for

Your Highness, with all due respect, I have a few words of advice Id like to share with you.

Rishe had a somewhat cold look on her face as she spoke.

Advise?

Her strange momentum caused Theodore to flinch.

She was supposed to be a naive young lady of the same age as his.

First

Rishe gently raised her index finger.

You must never let a captured prisoner of war out of your sight. You must never take your eyes off your prisoner at any time, even if you lock him in a room with a key, and never leave him alone. There must be at least two guards in the room with him.

What do you mean, prisoner?

At least, its not a word that popped out of an ordinary ladys mouth. When she spouted something crazy out of the blue, he couldnt help but make a decent argument.

Because Rishe has been walking towards him without a care in the world, Theodore was driven closer and closer to the wall.

Second, there must be more than one person present during the body search. Once it was confirmed that he is unarmed, the last step is to do it yourself.

With a dagger in her hand, which he didnt know where she got it from, Rishe continued.

Dont leave him fully clothed. The best thing to do is to strip him naked. The prisoner wont be able to hide weapons and escape tools, especially if shes a woman. If you can push them into thinking, I cant escape dressed like this, it will be a deterrent.

As if she was speaking common sense, her red lips spun the words.

Third, it was totally inappropriate when you left my hands and feet free. In such a case, handcuff the hands behind the back, then bind the base of both thumbs with a strong cord. Not to mention the ankles, of course. But its best to restrain them and then tie them to a post or the bed.

Her eyes, framed by long eyelashes, shot through Theodore. The doll-like beauty of her face was quite scary.

And yet, for some reason, he couldnt take his eyes off it.

But even after all this, its still too light. Do you know what the most important thing to do is?

Huh?

You must crush both his arm and leg bones.

Did she mean it?

Theodore gulped and cleared his throat, scared out of his wits. Rishe peered closer into Theodores face with his back to the wall and said nonchalantly, We must go this far. Crush his bones, restrain his broken limbs, take all his possessions and watch him in groups. Only after weve gone this far can we determine that the possibility of the enemy escaping is low. And even then, you have to keep in mind that its not absolute.

What on earth is this girl doing?!

Theodore knew exactly what the look in her eyes was.

It was the same gaze that he saw on the battlefield some time ago and could never forget.

Theodore saw a look just like hers in a land he visited to help the knights heal.

The enemy we let escape could bring back intelligence about our own troops, which could lead to the destruction of our allies. Civilians might die. So we must ensure that we dont miss by any means possible.

Oh yes, those eyes.

Arent those the eyes of a man standing on the battlefield?

The moment he was convinced of that, Rishe said, Thats what it means to capture the enemy.

In front of this mysterious girl, Theodores back was horribly frayed.

He couldnt tell exactly how she was feeling, but then she suddenly smiled.

I read that in a book once. Your Highness seems a little too kind in making threats and taking hostages. After all, you even ordered them not to do anything violent against me.

What the heck are you?
