My life in prison – 4
The moment I feared the most has arrived.
“Huhhhhh”
Seeing Marghetta crying softly with her hand covering her mouth made her lose her mind.
“Chief Inspector. I’m requesting a visit.”
I wondered why when the guard spoke with an expression as if he had put something down, but when I heard that Marghetta had come as a visitor, I also put it down. What I put down must be shame and pride.
It’s obviously embarrassing to see someone behind bars. I didn’t want to show it to Erich, Louise, or Irina.
‘He’s the person I don’t want to show the most.’
And I didn’t want to show it to Marghetta even when the sky fell. I know how much Marghetta cares about me. It’s not like she’s strong yet has a soft heart.
So, I prayed several times that Margeta would not come, even if she was struck by the minister three times.
‘You won’t listen to that one.’
Of course, I’m sure Enen won’t be idle enough to listen to my prayers as an alien. You will be busy listening to the prayers of the indigenous people of the world. Damn.
“Knife… Knife…”
Her Elongated Tears Marghetta was holding on to the barbed wire with one hand, supporting her body as if it was about to collapse at any moment.
How pitiful and pathetic it was. She wanted to go out and pat her okay, but alas, that was impossible.
“It’s fine. I’m really fine, Mar.”
In prison, what I can do is extremely limited. At most, holding Marghetta’s hand, repeating that it’s okay. There was nothing else I could do.
And that action seems to have rather stimulated Marghetta.
“Aaaaagh!”
In the end, Margeta couldn’t even suppress his cries. She was an imposing princess who always cared about her face and dignity, and burst into tears like her little child.
“Why, why! Why is there a knife, a knife there…!”
Like a child complaining, or like a person facing an incomprehensible difficult problem.
In either case, unlike the usual Marghetta, she was full of confusion. The more I looked at it, the stronger my guilt felt.
“Why… Why…”
After muttering that, Margeta sat down, as if her legs had lost strength.
“Senior, are you okay?”
Louisé, who was watching from behind with a sorrowful look, hurriedly approached and helped such a Marghetta.
Seeing her like that made her feel even more embarrassed. It’s a situation where someone else has to do what I have to do. No, if I had been outside in the first place, Marghetta wouldn’t have been like that.
“Louise, give me this.”
Irina handed her canteen to Louise.
Okay, give me some water. I must have cried so much that I was dehydrated.
“Senior. Let’s go outside for a while. You should get some fresh air.”
“No, I hate it… Here’s the knife, here’s the knife…”
Despite Louise’s words of concern, Marguetta shook her head in refusal.
However, seeing Marghetta like that, Louise burned her will to take her outside even more. Marghetta, who is always respectful, must have thought that she was out of her mind.
In the end, she dragged Irina outside, who was screaming at her.
‘It’s better outside than underground.’
I sighed while watching Marghetta’s back.

No matter how well it is decorated, it is fundamentally a dungeon. It is an unsuitable place for a delicate princess who has lost her energy.
“Brother, are you okay?”
“It was fine until now.”
It was only after the other party went outside that Erich sneaked up to me. It’s the first conversation since we started visiting.
But I understand. In the situation just now, where would anyone be able to talk to Marghetta? It seems that Erich didn’t expect Marghetta to sob sobbing as her face was full of embarrassment.
“What the hell happened? How did someone at the academy get detained?”
I averted my gaze at Erich’s words. Isn’t that You are the first to ask why I was arrested.
A minister who knows the circumstances, a good Jong-gong, and Marghetta, who sobs as soon as they start visiting. She apparently visited several times, but could not tell anyone why she was detained.
‘How do you say that?’
It was better when I didn’t ask. How the hell would she explain the reason for that madness.
But from Erich’s point of view, who doesn’t know anything, he would think that I was suddenly arrested after I was doing well at the academy. To clear up that misunderstanding, I need to explain…
‘Are you okay?’
To explain the situation, it must be said that a group of dissident republican traitors called the Red Wave have approached the academy. Something a little reluctant to do to Erich, an academy student.
Still, it ended without any damage except for my mentality, and Erich is not a light-mouthed kid. ‘Only you know.’ If I said it as if I was passing on a secret to her daughter-in-law, she would probably keep her mouth shut.
…Yes, let’s talk.
“This is a bit long.”
The more I opened my mouth, the more Erich’s expression changed strangely.
f*ck.

Let’s be patient. You have to be patient.
‘Why such an ordeal?’
I resent Enen for a moment. What sin did I commit to be subjected to such harsh trials?
Could it be because I refused when Tanian asked me to go to church with him? But it wasn’t just me who rejected it. Even Tanian refused, so I said okay and just went.
‘Did you go and pray for a curse?’
I imagined Tanian shouting, “Punish that unbeliever who refused to believe.” Yes, that’s clear Tanian You evil bastard, doing such a heinous thing with a smile on his face.
Isn’t it possible that you may not go to church at all in your life? My church is made up of faith and belief in the heart—
“Are you listening?”
“Oh, yes.”
My brother’s voice brought me back to my thoughts. It was a big deal. A desperate final escape also failed.
‘I’m going crazy.’
Carefully, I raised my head and glared at the ceiling. It’s as if he’s frustrated after hearing a sad and resentful story.
Actually, I averted my gaze because I thought I would burst out laughing if I was careless.
“Don’t tell me where to go.”
I nodded vigorously at my brother’s words.
Rebels shouting republicanism came all the way to the academy, and my brother subdued them.
Every single story is unusual. It’s dizzying that the academy was almost in danger without my knowledge, but didn’t it end safely anyway?
All but one.
‘Where do you say this?’
If you say something like this anywhere, you’ll be treated like a madman. I’m dumbfounded by the person in charge, but I wonder if other people who listen across the street are shocked.
My brother was detained because he shot and killed a prisoner. Although killing a prisoner is not a good thing, it is not a serious crime that warrants detention.
“I wrote a lot of speeches. If I wrote it this time, I was detained.”
The problem was the older brother’s karma, which turned a small sin into a big one. From there, the first laughter alert came.
“No, that’s where he brought up the subject of Lew Tiss. How can he put up with that?”
And when I heard the reason for killing the prisoners, the second alarm came.
‘That’s how it went?’
I felt like going crazy. It would not have been funny if the prisoner had made an ordinary provocation and the brother could not contain his anger.
However, he mentioned rheumatism. He referred to the legendary incident of beating the royal family in front of everyone.
Furthermore, because of that incident, my older brother was sentenced to probation from the academy, an unprecedented decision. Even in my sleep, if I whispered about the incident, it would wake me up, but I heard it from a republican traitor?
‘I can’t stand that.’
If it were me, I would have killed him. I think the Supreme Court will probably pronounce you innocent even if you hear it.
Anyway, I perfectly understood why my brother was imprisoned. But as one problem was solved, a new problem arose.
“…Hyung. How do you explain this to others?”
“I see…”
Princess Marghetta, who is still crying outside, and Louise and Irina, who should be comforting her.
I couldn’t muster up the courage to tell the three of them the truth.
“Let’s say it’s a business problem. If you don’t ask first, stay still.”
I just nodded my head in silence at the answer my brother gave after much thought.
Please don’t ask anyone.

Marghetta returned shortly after telling Erich the shameful truth. Fortunately, it seemed a little genuine.
But the visiting hours were over, so I had to go on the road. Bad timing too.
“Karl, see you tomorrow. I’ll be sure, I’ll be back tomorrow too.”
It was hard to keep my tears from flowing again as I spoke. No, it’s not okay to visit someone who’s been locked up for five days for two days.
Anyway, she was able to convince and send Marghetta, who insisted on coming back after several times of flirting. When she is released, she promises to be the first to visit, and then returns.
“Ah, hyung. The family knows you’re imprisoned.”
Instead, on the way to the end, Erich left a little troubling comment.
“I stopped saying that my mother would come too. Wouldn’t it be better to keep blocking it?”
Still, thanks to my caring younger brother, the number of visitors never increased. Yes, I’ll somehow put up with even Marghetta, but she’s not confident she’ll ever hold on to ‘the mother who came to see her imprisoned son’.
…Even if we can’t visit you when you’re released, let’s be the first to contact you. That would do it
‘Damn it.’
I can’t stand the anger of a moment, so I wonder what this is all about. At that time, if I had finished stepping on her thighs instead of beating her head, she wouldn’t have died.
Looking up at her ceiling while letting out a sigh, I felt a sense of incongruity belatedly.
‘Why aren’t you coming?’
Unexpectedly, managers are quiet.
This is an unusual situation. There was no news from the nearest inspection department, and a visit came from the academy far away.
Actually, it’s comfortable that they don’t come, but how many times have they made me feel comfortable? I thought you would definitely come.
‘It’s good if I don’t come.’
Let’s not worry too much about it.

I rolled over, clutching my brittle head. I need to get up, but I just can’t get up.
‘I have to go to a visit…’
Originally, I was planning to go this morning. The other managers and deputy directors also decided to take their time and go together.
But last night, we had an unexpected dinner party.
“It’s a dinner to commemorate the detention of your manager. Please attend before going to visit.”
It’s a dinner party promoted by the minister, but how can I get out of it? In the first place, it was a long time since I had a dinner party, so I attended in a good mood.
And the result is like this. The Minister brought only the high-quality ones, so the aftermath is enormous.
“Ugh…”
While I was rolling around, I caught my eye with randomly scattered hair.
Take care of your white hair. It’s definitely pretty enough that you can show off your hair anywhere, but it’s scary to see it today.
Surely, the alcohol I drank yesterday was also white… This is the first time I’ve been afraid of white…
“I’m the general manager…”
It hurts my heart to think of the manager crying alone in a cold prison.
I’m sorry, manager. I have to go see you, but I think it will be difficult today.
They threw a party because Mc was imprisoned lmao
