Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 103 Crime and Punishment of the Nobility
　　Time flies. Two weeks later, in Stavron Infirmary.
　　"Time to wake up, Miss Victoria."

　　Angelica woke up Victoria, who was taking a nap in the infirmary. Since Undine's family members were detained and the servants were leaderless, no one could visit Undine, so Victoria was responsible for taking care of Undine day and night. Of course, the treatment was still carried out by the doctors.
　　Thanks to the doctors' best efforts, Undine is out of danger.
　　The medical report they provided mentioned that Undine weighed only 28kg when she was rescued. Other statistics were so shocking that Victoria couldn't bear to look at them anymore.

　　"Do you have to use this method to wake me up..."
　　Victoria was very depressed, and every time Angelica came to visit her in the infirmary, she would wake Victoria up in her own unique way, specifically by kneading Victoria's black slime.
　　Victoria was genuinely confused about this and even had an incredible conversation with her.

　　——Why do you want to rub it?
　　——Because the breasts are there.
　　As expected, I still cannot understand the witch's thinking.

　　Angelica sat leisurely next to Victoria.
　　“It feels really good.”
　　"I'm not asking you how you feel!"

　　"So let's kiss next time?"
　　"...I admit defeat. It's boring of me to bring up this topic."
　　"Hmm~ With a beautiful girl in front of you, it would be really rude not to do something."

　　“…”
　　Victoria's eyes dimmed. Angelica had quickly walked out from the shadows, but Victoria was still upset.
　　Beautiful girl.
　　They had seen Undine's appearance in the photo. In the photo, Undine was playful and cute with a sweet look... No one would have expected that twelve years later, Stavron's beloved daughter would become a skinny and scary woman.

　　The doctor examined Undine's body and found that her mouth was full of dirt, and her teeth were either fallen out or were necrotic. Her internal organs could not be examined: her heart, lungs, stomach, and other organs had suffered irreversible damage due to being in a harsh environment for a long time.
　　Undine won't live long.
　　Angelica changed back into her magic robe; the dress was stained with filth and could no longer be worn.

　　"There's no need to blame yourself, Miss Victoria. We did the best we could. This tragedy happened twelve years ago. Twelve years ago, you hadn't joined the Knight Academy yet, and I didn't know about Stavron twelve years ago. The only ones who were wrong were Mrs. Drais and her perverted desire for control."
　　The investigation of the case progressed rapidly amid the heated public outcry, and the details were extremely simple.
　　Ever since Undine fell in love with the bard Lawrence thirteen years ago, Mrs. Drais has been trying to break up the two, but each time she has been resisted by Undine, and the conflict between the two has escalated from verbal quarrels to physical confrontations.

　　The obedience of her two sons made Mrs. Drais even more jealous of Undine's pursuit of free love. After discovering that Undine planned to elope with the bard, Mrs. Drais locked Undine in the basement. At first, Mrs. Drais hoped that Undine would break up with Lawrence and obey the marriage she arranged for her.
　　But Undine did not choose to give in. Mrs. Drais knew that Undine loved beauty, so she simply refused to give Undine a bath and tried to use the dirty environment to make Undine submit... However, no matter how Undine surrendered and begged, she still refused to marry a man she didn't know.
　　In Undine's view, this is her life, and she has the right to choose. Mrs. Drais does not think so. Undine is her daughter, and she has the right to control everything about Undine until one of them dies.

　　In the end, Mrs. Drais gave up Undine, but her hatred for her never dissipated. She couldn't understand how a powerless girl could have the courage to resist her. She wanted to use Undine to warn her two sons that she was the absolute master in the Drais family and anyone who resisted her would end up miserably, even her own flesh and blood.
　　Mrs. Drais arranged for her two sons to feed Undine small amounts of food in turn and strengthened their obedience by having them constantly witness Undine's miserable condition. Twelve years later, the witch and the knight came to the city.
　　People have different opinions about Undine. Some people think that she is pitiful and has donated a lot of property to the hospital, but in fact, the bulk of the medical expenses are still paid by Angelica herself. Some people think that Undine is a brave girl who pursues independent love and admire her. Others think that Undine is nothing more than a self-satisfied fool. Wouldn't it be better if she just gave in and then tried to escape? She has ruined herself like this...

　　"Mrs. Drais...By the way, is today the day of the trial?"
　　"Well, I just came back from the trial."
　　"Then they..."

　　Victoria wanted to know the result, but as a noble, she knew very well that it would be difficult for the court to seek justice for Undine. Although the nobles condemned the Drais family for their actions that brought shame to the nobility, as long as the nobility status remained, it would be difficult to give a strict judgment.
　　This was an era when the law was still incomplete. Angelica knew very well that no king had ever been sent to the guillotine by the people. The city of justice established by Richard was already the limit, but that was another extreme.
　　“No one has been sentenced to death.”

　　“…”
　　"Mrs. Drais was considered the mastermind and needed to spend the rest of her life in prison. Her two sons, under the lobbying of the defense lawyer, believed that they were coerced by ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) Mrs. Drais and were victims, and were released in court."
　　"They don't have the courage of Miss Undine."

　　"The Drais family needs to pay a large fine and compensate for all of Undine's medical expenses. That's pretty much it."
　　Compared to the torture that Undine had endured for twelve years, the punishment that the Drais family had received was really not worth mentioning, but in the eyes of the nobles, the Drais family had already been disgraced, which was definitely enough punishment. The imperfection of the legal system and the fact that the Drais family was still a noble family allowed them to escape the death sentence. If they were exiled nobles or noble robbers, they would have been hanged, but the Drais family had not yet disbanded, and the existing nobles could not be hanged.
　　Victoria clenched her fists. If the infirmary had not required silence, she would have exploded long ago.

　　"What a joke...! Is this the only punishment? At least Mrs. Drais should pay with her life! Two punishments are not enough!"
　　In a sense, the death of the bard Lawrence is also related to the disappearance of Undine. He seemed to be truly in love with Undine and did not find a new love. He died of illness while waiting for Undine's whereabouts.
　　"Now that the verdict has been announced, there is no point in doing anything. Unless..."

　　Angelica didn't continue, and Victoria immediately thought of that possibility.
　　Unless, they secretly avenge Undine.
