Avalon’s Dungeon

ed Asarea, wasn't there?」

　It was Fatima who suddenly spoke up in this way.

　Fatima's eyes were directed toward the darkness where the upper reaches of the river were swallowed up, but it was too dark at this time of the day to fully see the darkness.

「…Asarea town? What kind of place is it?」

　Fransisca asked.

「I see.
Your Highness never went out when serving as a Princess-maiden, did she?」

　Fatima thought it was a pity.

　But for Fransisca, that was the way things used to be.

「Yes.
I was usually in the palace or the temple all the time.
The first time I saw the outside world was when Fatima took me to the Krangal Kingdom to ask for help after the outbreak of Avalon…」

　Fransisca's eyes narrow as she reminisces about the past.

「I used to long for the outside world…
but now that I haven't had contact with singing and dancing for such a long time, I feel sad about it」

　After saying this, Fransisca laughs, “…it's like asking for something you don't have.”

「…Your Highness」

　Sara, who had been listening to the conversation, suddenly took Fransisca's hand.

「If things go back to the way it was, we will be living in the temple again.
Let's experience many things while we still can, okay? I'll teach many things too!」

「S-Sara will teach…?? I beg you, don't teach Her Highness anything bad…!」

　Fatima turns pale.

　Sara's lips pouted, but Fatima wanted to insist that she had no choice.

「I mean, you've been a priest for a very short time and you've been a troublemaker about the precepts since the time the state existed」

「Don't call me a troublemaker!? I mean, all priests from the right to the left have their heads in a bunch.
Although I agreed to be recruited because the salary was good, it's suffocating」

「…Is that so?」

　Fransisca tilted her head.

「Well, maybe Your Highness doesn't know because a princess is born to live like that…」

　Sara's argument did not make sense to Fransisca.

　Nevertheless, the night goes on as the three women talk in an adulterous and congenial manner.

「Hey, whatever you do, hurry up!」

　But then, Alexis called out to them through the bushes.

　For some reason, he had been assigned to watch the bathing of the three women.

　He had wanted to ask another soldier to guard the baths, but Fransisca insisted that no other man would do it.

（You appointed me to do such a troublesome thing.
I'll punish you later）

　Due to this, he told Fransisca about it, but she nodded her head after her cheeks were stained and her gaze drifted thoughtfully for a while.

「I-I will come to Alexis-sama's tent around bedtime」

　Fransisca whispered in his ear while fidgeting.

　Yes, that was it.
She didn't seem to mind being punished so much.

（Whatever, I had already told her that, so…）

　Alexis is still doing it.
Even though there is nothing else to do but to sit here with boredom.

「I-I'm terribly sorry…」

「Yes, yes, just a few more minutes!」

　It was Sara who replied, interrupting Fransisca's voice.

「Oh, Sara?」

　When Fransisca was puzzled, Sara said, “It's okay, it's okay, just a little bit is okay, right?”

　Hearing this, Alexis is convinced that it's going to be a long conversation.

　“…Anyway, if I can screw her later, that's fine,” Alexis thought.

　And so, he takes this time to think about what he is going to do to her.
