Chapter 50: 50 Episode 49 Conflict.txt

In the darkened prison cell, Riza was sitting upright and meditating.

(...... What to do?) (What's the right thing to do?

Riza was having a hard time believing.

It was just the other day.

Riza came to the dungeon and was told by Berdo that Lemest had given her orders to go to the Belesdral and give him disinformation.

There was no choice but to refuse. He'll have you take it any way you want, he says.

But the Beld also said it honestly pains him to do something outrageous, and he begs me to just shake his head gently.

But no matter how much she begged, Riza's feelings would not change.

I can't do that, and I shove Berdo.

The Beld says, "You have one day to think it over. If you haven't changed your mind by then, I won't be so lenient," and he leaves.

For a while, I thought there was no way Riza was going to take what they did to her.

She had no relatives to take hostage with.

Perhaps they would torture her, and perhaps she would eventually die, but she still couldn't just obey this order.

It was after she had made up her mind to do so.

Suddenly, another choice came into Riza's head, other than taking or not taking orders.

If she chose that option, she might be able to save herself and still avoid harming Bellamus.

But if she chose that option, Riza would be betraying Lemest.

It might even lead to the destruction of the Astraeus family.

However, Lemest's hand would be removed from Belesdral.

Riza thinks, but shakes her head and tries to put that option out of her mind.

But she just can't get rid of it.

Her loyalty to the Astraeus family was beginning to waver.

The house of Riza has supported the house of Astraeus for generations.

I serve the Astraeus family not because I'm crazy about Lemest himself, but because my father served them.

Your father told you it was your duty to serve the Astraeus family since long before you were born.

Riza's father is gone now, but she never forgot that lesson.

She never questioned or complained about serving the Countess of Astraeus.

She had never doubted that serving the Astraeus family was her mission and the meaning of life.

But the way Lemest had treated him, his confinement in a cell, and the other things he had done, had swayed his loyalty.

An unethical way. Actions that could only be seen as clearly wrong.

And the unreasonable treatment of him.

Little by little, the thought of it makes me angry.

And my loyalty to House Astraeus is diminishing.

(What to do: ......? What's the right action for me to take now? Should they be allowed to die in silence, tortured to death? (Is that really the end of my life and is that really what I want?

Riza was in a lot of trouble.

And when the next day came.

What do you say, Riza, are you ready to take the plunge?

The verd is coming to the prison.

And Riza, after a long struggle, has come to a conclusion.
