บท 76: Mother

'If your mother asks anything related to this, just agree and look at her coldly.' These were some of Dantalian's instructions to Echidna.

At that moment, she was looking out the window of her room, watching Dantalian leave his house and get into the carriage. The window next to where Amanda was sitting remained closed before they left. 'She should appear at any moment.'

Echidna threw herself back onto her bed, placing her hand on her forehead. Her breathing was irregular, and her body temperature was higher than normal, just as Dantalian had requested. 'Don't talk about the world. You're afraid of it. There are many demons, and you no longer want to go out. You want to be safe.'

'Like a beautiful princess.' This last thought came along with the image of Dantalian's radiant face and warm smile.

'What a bitch... Why does it have to be like this?' Echidna thought.
