No matter if Booze is indeed known for his bad reputation in leading an army, but it also does not erase the fact that he was also a General who had thousands of troops under his control, he said, all of that made his status to be higher than the status of the Common People. So he could also be categorized into a lower class noble.

With his status he was even able to attend several times in a party organized by the aristocrats of the Draeruz Kingdom. In the party itself Booze often chatted with some influential nobles, or even danced with noble girls who were very graceful.

But after his country lost the war and with King Joash taking over the throne of the country, the status that he was very proud of was eventually lost instantly for the reason to reduce the expenditure of state funds according to King Joash himself.

Booze, who felt unfairly treated, eventually wanted to revolt by using the rest of the forces under his control, but because he himself also often abuse power then eventually he became very unpopular among his subordinates. Quite the contrary many of them disobeyed and joined forces led by King Joash directly.

Feeling useless without his army, the nobleman who was once very familiar with him eventually also became indifferent to him.

After all the misfortune turned out that it had not really reached there, because now Booze was in a basement located in Claudia Castle as a place to imprison them all.

Of course for imprisoning them

all of them in Claudia Castle Underground Prison were then partly held captive in Carran City and guarded by regular troops and tribal joint forces.

"Bread is mine!"

"Shut up!"

Even Booze himself would not have expected if he now had to end up sleeping crowded with his subordinates in a prison that even to eat alone had to scramble with his subordinates, he said, because the Knights Claudia only gave a few pieces of bread to each prison room that contained dozens of people.

It had been two days since they were defeated in a battle, since they were the losers they had to end up being prisoners of war while waiting for their future fate to be what it would be like.

His prison room itself seemed to be made of many neatly arranged chunks of square stone on his walls and even his floors, even once, without the slightest pedestal they live on a stone floor that is very uncomfortable to occupy, plus a creepy atmosphere with darkness also enveloping the prison.

Even though the underground place was filled with captives but it remained that the place looked very quiet as many of them could only be silent in their place by contemplating many things on their minds whether it's a regret or something.

In the silence was heard the sound of footsteps from the side of the basement exit, the sound gradually became more and more felt closer to the prison cell in which there was Booze.

The other people inside the cell also began to turn their attention towards the voice as they wished it were the guards who brought some food to give to all of them even in one lot of them were confused because usually the guards brought food only once a day while before this morning one of the guards had brought them some food to eat.

Finally after waiting with a feeling of very high expectations, the people inside the cell were very surprised because instead of a guard who brought food instead they saw 12 Knights who were outside the cell with their full equipment.

One of the Knights seemed to have taken a key and immediately put it into the cell door and opened it.

Then immediately all the Knights entered the cell by drawing out their swords in order to avoid resistance, they decisively ordered the captives to step aside from him.

"Hey let go of me fool!"

"Shut up or I'll cut off your head!"

Of the many prisoners in the holding cell only Boozelah they approached, Booze initially tried to rebel but whatever the power because he faced was a Knight with very complete combat equipment.

"Where are you taking me fucking!?"

"I told you to shut up stupid!" resolutely one of the Knights who also violently hit Booze in the face when she rebelled in the moment of wanting to be dragged.

"Akh!"

After the Knights managed to take Booze by force they immediately closed back the prison cell and dragged Booze who was lying limp forcefully out of the basement no matter if the action could hurt himself.

On the one hand when Booze had reached the outside of the room he was actually quite relieved because he could see back the bright sunlight after being held captive for some time in a very dark and humid place before.

Outside Booze could also see how busy the people in Claudia Castle area were whether it was fighting practice or busy with other things. It also seems that some Knights threw something at the pile of weapons that previously belonged to the bandits in the corner, with the aim of all that for resale.

When people around who previously looked busy began to set their eyes on Booze, of course it was not a positive gaze aka a cold gaze. There were even those who spat at Booze who were being dragged weakly.

Unable to respond much about the treatment, Booze could only shut up and store the extremely explosive emotions into his heart without being able to do anything else.

* * * * *

After passing through the sea of negativity in Claudia Castle's courtyard, finally Booze who was forcefully brought was in front of a small hut slightly outside of Claudia Castle which was walled. Without waiting for a long time the Knights who brought him directly into the wooden Shack.

Inside the hut was a very narrow look that even made out of the 12 Knights who were carrying forcibly Booze only about 5 were able to enter it, because in the hut has also been placed a table with a size that seems to fit for adults lying on it.

And it seems to be true because Booze was directly placed on the table by the five Knights Claudia, but when it was laid on the table it was seen the Knights tied Booze tightly using chains so that he could not get up from the table.

"Hey let go of me stupid, hey!" booze shouted with emotion.

Booze who previously could only be stretched weak again rebelled because in his own feelings this was not a good thing to happen. No matter how many times Booze yells, they don't untie.

"Aren't you being too excited? don't worry we have plenty of time"

Suddenly the voice of someone sounded from the entrance of the Hut, Booze who heard that instantly turned his gaze to the source of the voice and it appeared that a little girl with silver hair with her red eyes was staring at him horribly. Even Booze who was once also considered brave although often considered carelessness almost averted his eyes.

Booze himself after his defeat had already obtained information if the name of the girl was Luzia, a daughter of the previous Viscount.

"It's quiet? good if so" Luzia said with her innocent face.

"Wow look who came, a rotten puppy from another rotten dog" Booze replied to Luzia without fear at all.

"You watch your mouth!"

Of course when seeing such a disrespectful act the Knights would not just shut up, especially Erliz who was on Luzia's side of daritadi but Luzia swiftly stopped them.

"You think I care about that!? you're all the same, you're the same brackets!" with explosive emotions Booze expressed his frustration.

Upon seeing the poor response from Booze, Luzia could only sigh and began to approach Booze, who was lying on the table. But of course if Luzia's body is fairly short from the table in front of him, Erliz immediately ran out of the hut and was seen back carrying a stone that Luzia finally used as a foothold, even Booze who saw it was quite a bit surprised.

"Yes, it's up to you, Captain Booze. Let the past pass, shall it not?" luzia to Booze.

"If that's the case why don't you let me go?" Booze asked with confidence.

"What do you mean Captain Booze? forgive your enemy but do not forget his name, have you never heard those words? moreover, you killed my parents"

"uh? then what do you want now?"

"Looking at the situation you should have known Captain Booze, just say everything you know about the things behind your bandit group and especially how you can kidnap my parents"

"Whahaha, then what would you do if I didn't care about that, huh? sing me a sleeping song?" booze said in a mocking tone.

"Well, I thought it wouldn't be that easy. Erliz I'll leave everything to you."

"Well Miss Luzia, I will do everything based on what you said before. "look with a smile of happiness Erliz said that.

Erliz immediately immediately picked up a bucket filled with water and also an object that was shaped like a funnel, luzia also started to come down from her footing and started towards the exit of the hut.

"Hey hey hey what is this? a bucket of water? how good of you to know if I'm thirsty" said Booze who looks still want to be strong.

"Is that so? have fun if so." reply Luzia.

At that time Booze really did not know what would happen to him in the future that would be full of torture for consecutive years.

{Luzia Pov}

It's been 2 days since I met the bandit chief, but I haven't heard from Erliz for two days. Looks like he's really having a lot of fun.

"Miss Luzia, you haven't rested at all lately."

"Well, I'm fine Clotte so don't worry."

I was sitting in a window in my room in my simple white pajamas. Because of the previous incident when I found the bodies of both Luzia's parents, I felt my body become very limp and my mind became very unfazed again as if it wasn't Raisa or the real me

I'm not entirely sure but I guess if the real Luzia was in her body she would also feel what I feel right now, because it is a natural reaction if someone finds his parents who he loves so badly dead.

But there is something even more confusing in my opinion because I myself have basically never met Luzia's parents, then I should not think too much about their deaths. Even so I felt an emotion of wanting to take over this body when after finding both of Luzia's parents.

Even since that every night I started crying for no reason which made me sleepless and when I slept even once I was always given dreams about the affection of the two Luzians to the point when I woke up from that dream some tears had already flowed before.

If those emotions really take over me then who am I really? Raisa's? or Luzia? I met the real Luzia myself last time in a very strange place, it really made me confused.

"Miss Luzia, can I come in?"

Finally the thing I was waiting for finally arrived because maybe some of the information he got would answer my confusion.

"Erlizz? come in." I said, allowing Erliz to enter.

Erliz instantly seemed to have an aura that looked like she had done something fun before entering my room, while Clotte herself came out as if she knew my conversation with Erliz was not something she should have heard.

"So?"

"That's amazing Miss Luzia! I've never seen such an effective method of torture and interrogation!" erliz replied with joy.

"That's so.... "

Well, the method I gave to was torture by means of the Water Purge. It was a torture by giving his victim excessive water to the point that he felt very uncomfortable.

All because if you drink too much water it can reduce sodium levels in the blood to very low levels, causing mild to life-threatening problems. But of course I give a careful measure so as not to damage the internal organs of Booze excessively and only give it a memorable psychological effect.

"Forget about that Erliz, so what information did you get Erliz?"

"You won't believe it, Miss Luzia" said Erliz, who suddenly heard her serious face.

"So what is it?"

"How your parents mysteriously disappeared is because of a Witch with the power of her summoning spell, although Booze himself is not sure because he did not himself see it directly but one of his men who was trying to urinate never accidentally saw the witch was doing his ritual"

"Witch!?"

"I also reacted like that before but the shocking thing has not yet arrived because the witch is not after Miss Luzia's parents at all"

"Why then!?" I asked without caring about anything else.

"Wizards want to target you but instead get your parents either by mistake and ultimately give your parents to the bandits, Booze himself said that the witch told him that she wanted you because you had what was supposed to be hers." a little unconvinced Erliz told me.

"Truly unbelievable.." I can't even say much more.

"I also feel that way, Miss Luzia. As if all that sounds like a false rumor circulating in a bandit group alone, but seeing how your parents disappeared in one night mysteriously makes this all a bit reasonable." it seemed Erliz himself did not want to believe it but he himself also felt that there was something very strange.

This did answer some of my previous confusion but it also gave me many new questions because the magicians themselves in this world only exist recorded in ancient artifacts and their existence still could not be truly proven.

What does it mean that I have what he should have?

If she was a witch would she have called me into this world? why then?
