My life in prison – 3
Ma Jong-gong, who was holding on to his hand with the momentum to cut it off, let go after a long time. In reality, it must have only been a few minutes, but his experience seemed to have taken almost an hour.
“Wait a minute.”
After saying that, Ma Jong-gong hesitated for a moment before turning his back.
How many times did you look back on your way? It’s like, ‘If I take my eyes off, won’t that child disappear?’ He seemed to have the same concerns. I even heard that I had to wait, so it seems more like that.
But I couldn’t help but stare blankly at the worry-filled back of Ma Jong-gong.
‘I have nowhere to go.’
Is there anything I can do while waiting? Where is the person in prison going?
At most, it’s a positional shift that’s to the point where the guy standing in front of the barbed wire is lying on the bed. Either way, it’s in prison.
My heart hurts. Isn’t it Jong-Gong Ma who became the flagship after seeing me in prison? At the same time, he is worried that the prisoner inside the prison will disappear somewhere.
‘Is it a big shock?’
How shocking must it be that the symbol of wisdom, Ma Jong-gong, would make such a stupid mistake. This is a situation where even a person whose emotions are dead has no choice but to move the triangle in their heart.
‘The unfilial bastard.’
This is Majonggong who prepared the health food that is second to none in the world. He sometimes throws jokes that are hard to answer, but in fact, he is considerate enough to be comparable to Jeonseungong and Wisdom.
The two dukes are somehow intertwined, so it’s understandable that they treat them well, but Duke Majong has nothing to do with them. Even so, Ma Jong-gong was always warm.
Indeed, a gift worthy of being called Mother Majonggong. I showed such an ugly side to such an opponent.
Sorry sir… I think 5 years in prison is right for you.

Not long after, Prince Ma came back.
“Eating in there would be inconvenient. I brought some.”
“Ah, yes. Thank you.”
Holding a lot of food in his arms.
But no matter how you look at it, this is not a little bit. Have I been using the word little wrong all this time?
‘I won’t be able to eat until I leave.’
It’s definitely not enough to eat in five days. Even the size isn’t small, so it can come in through the cracks—
“Now, take it.”
Are you coming in?
As Jong-Gong Ma clicked his fingers, the objects in his arms all at once became smaller. When I pushed it over the barbed wire, it grew again as if it were a lie that I had gotten smaller.
‘Wow.’
If I’m not mistaken, the magic was done without a wand or a chant.
“The path that wizards pursue is different, but the end is the same. Magic without any medium or spell. That is the end of magic.”
I immediately remembered what Later said in the club room. A dream that I told the members with a really passionate look.
Are you watching, Later? Your dream unfolded in the dungeon.
I don’t think it’s my fault, but I’m sorry.
‘A waste of ability…’
I was so blankly looking at the food that came into the prison, but thanks to Ma Jong-gong’s voice, I came back to my senses.
“Looks like it’s not enough. I’ll have to bring more.”
“It’s okay. Enough.”
If you accumulate more than this, you can keep it and eat it. Obviously remains
Despite such desperate dissuades, Jong-Gong Ma slightly frowned and shook his head. There was a strong will to bring more no matter how dry it was.
“Excuse me, sir. Excuse me, but I’ve only been locked up for five days.”
In the end, despite the shame, I spoke about the legend of five days in prison. It seems that Jong-gong Ma misunderstood my detention period as at least a month.
I can’t explain this amount otherwise. It’s understandable if you think that you brought food for about fifteen days at a time.
“I know.”
But Ma Jong-gong answered calmly. Instead of being taken aback or dumbfounded by the word 5 days, he looked at me with pitiful eyes for telling me the length of his detention period.
“Does five days matter? What matters is that the baby is in it.”
Majong-gong reached out to the barricade again. This time, I inadvertently reached out my hand.
Then I cried with my heart at the feeling of the warm embrace of my hand.
“No, it’s only five days!”
“It’s not like that.”
Instinctively, the conversation with the minister came to mind.
It was obviously the same subject. It seemed like he appealed for being locked up for only five days, but the answer that came back was very different.

No, in a way they are similar. It was an answer that did not dwell at all on the five-day period. It’s a problem because they’re in different directions that they’re not attached to.
‘This is an adult.’
He’s a true adult who doesn’t forget his little subordinate’s teasing and takes revenge.
Actually, I wasn’t joking around a bit, but anyway. Starting today, the Minister of Finance in my mind is Ma Jong-gong.
“If you feel uncomfortable, call me anytime. I’ll tell the guard, so don’t feel pressured.”
A heartwarming statement that he will come to you in person if anything is needed.
If I had no eyes to see, I would really cry. I almost filmed Prison Crying.

I haven’t been able to sleep properly since yesterday because my heart was shaking. Even when I was sleepy, I couldn’t even close my eyes.
Karl would be in a cold prison cell, lying on a hard, uncomfortable bed. When I thought about it, I didn’t really feel like it. My body wants sleep, but my head refuses to sleep.
“Senior, are you okay?”
“It’s okay. Don’t worry.”
I tried to smile at Lady Louise’s words.
I’m used to staying up all night. Sometimes I couldn’t even sleep when the student council work was overdue.
However, worrying about the knife made my mind, not my body, suffer even more. Thanks to that, even when I looked at it, my complexion was not good. It’s sad to see Carl look so ugly.
“But…”
“It’s really good. It’s just a little tiring.”
It was only then that Lady Louise nodded at the firm words.
‘I’m not in a position to worry about others.’
Lady Louise also had a bad complexion, probably because she was worried about the knife. Anyone can see that I haven’t slept properly.
Anyway, who cares about who? You seem to have a really good heart, but shouldn’t you take care of yourself first? Someday I’ll have to give you some serious advice.
“All are here.”
While I was examining Lady Louise’s complexion, I heard Erich Youngsik’s voice.
‘You’re here.’
When I turned my gaze toward the place where Erich Youngsik was looking, I saw Lady Irina running hurriedly. Lady Irina is also a person who has a knife in her heart, so I should go with her.
…Actually, neither I nor Lady Louise were too distracted, so I hurriedly informed them this morning. How resentful Lady Irina would have been if she had left without saying anything.
“Brother… Are you going?”
And how did Lady Irina feel when she heard about the major disaster from the morning of the weekend?
I’m sorry I couldn’t even see Youngae Irina’s face properly. At least I should have said it yesterday so I could have had time to make up my mind.
“N-It’s not too late, is it?”
“Yes. I’m on time.”
Seeing Lady Irina gasping for breath as if she had run with all her might, the guilt grew even more. I’m really sorry.
“If everyone is gathered, we will move.”
While Lady Louise patted Lady Irina on the back, the teleport wizard from the Krasius family opened her mouth.
It was a hard tone, but the wizard’s complexion wasn’t very good either. Of course. He says that the successor of the family he serves has been detained, but which retainer will be fine. The entire Krasius family would have been turned upside down.
…Mother, are you all right? He seemed to have a soft heart, but he didn’t collapse, did he?
You couldn’t teleport directly to the prison. I don’t like going back in an urgent situation, but what can I do? It is said that there is a teleport obstruction magic in the vicinity of the prison to prevent escape.
This is an understandable measure. I’ve thought about how many times I want to teleport the sword out.
“Stop. This is where the criminals who have tarnished the reputation of the Empire and the Imperial Family are staying. Those who do not have proper business should refrain from approaching any further.”
As we approached the prison, a guard in front of the gate blocked us.
‘A sinner who has tarnished his reputation.’
I bit my lip. To say that Carl, who devoted himself to the empire more than anyone else, was a sinner. If the inspector general is a criminal, then who the hell is a loyalist and who is a citizen?
I know. Know. This expense is just what the manual says. I’m not talking about the knife.
Still, my heart feels torn. To hear that Carl, who suffered so much, is a sinner.
“Erich of Count Krasius. Requesting a visit.”
Erich Youngsik answered the guard as a representative. Among us, only Erich Youngsik has a blood relationship with Carl.
“…Excuse me, who are you looking for?”
The tone of the guards softened rapidly, as if there was anything they could guess from the name of Count Krasius.
I was a sinner before, but who are you this time? The right title relieved my mood a little.
“Karl Krasius.”
“Confirmed. If you wish to visit, please write your name on the list.”
The guard handed over the list that was on the table to Erich Youngsik.
The guard who returned the list checked the name and hurriedly entered the prison.

Ait sitpal.
‘It’s unlucky, really.’
His heart skipped a beat when the guard suddenly came running. I wondered if His Excellency Ma Jong-gong had returned.
Fortunately, that wasn’t the case, but a new character appeared. Yesterday she was Minister of Finance, this morning she was Princess Majong, and now she is the princess of the Duke of Varenti. I’ll be thrilled
I was prepared. It is a detention full of show, not even other people, but the director of the inspection department, and even five days. Since he had not lost real power, he expected that each and every visitor would be splendid.
But, it’s only been five days. There was also an expectation that he wouldn’t come to visit him because he was locked up for five days.
‘Was it 5 weeks instead of 5 days?’
For a moment, I was seriously thinking about whether my memory was wrong. People like the minister and the duke even brought their own meals. Is this for five days?
Of course I was right. I don’t know why, but five days is right.
‘Is the fortune twisted?’
A few years ago, the Minister of Finance was taken into custody. I thought I saw the end of my jailer life there, but beyond that, there was a new end.
‘Should I retire?’
Since he has accumulated quite a bit of wealth, it is an issue to seriously consider.
