Chapter 172: People I Know
After seeing this scene, the other people imprisoned in the cell believed that the other party was really here to rescue them, and many of them couldn’t help but burst into tears.
“Wuwuwu——”
“I didn’t expect we could be rescued, but it’s a pity that some of our sisters are no longer with us…”
“Assholes! Why didn’t you come earlier? Do you know how much torture I have suffered here? Wuwu——”
A variety of complex emotions such as joy, sorrow, and regret lingered in their hearts, and some even blamed Mapel and others for not rescuing them earlier.
Because they knew that these women were humiliated here and treated like playthings by the Duke and the people he brought with him.
Therefore, Mapel did not blame the young woman who had just harshly rebuked her. Instead, she felt very sympathetic towards her.
Arriving at the next cell door, Mapel raised her sword, ready to cut the chains wrapped around it.
Just then, Fanny ran over, raised her hand and shook the keychain she had just found.
“I found the key.”
“That’s perfect. Come and open the prison door.”
Mapel put the raised magic sword back to her waist.
Then, the two of them used the key chains to open the prison doors one by one and release the prisoners, while Theresa performed healing magic on the injured.
As soon as the last cell door was opened, the sound of soldiers shouting could be heard outside the dungeon.
“Knight Jarvis-san, Theresa-san, Fanny-sans, we have brought some clothes. Since it is not convenient to enter, please come out and get them.”
Fanny and Mapel looked at each other, hurried out to get the clothes, and then came back to distribute them to the half-naked women.
While distributing clothes, Mapel unexpectedly discovered that there was a female elf imprisoned in the dungeon.
I didn’t expect there would be a sub-human race. This elven woman has pointed ears, fair skin, a slim figure, and a very beautiful appearance. Men will definitely be moved when they see her. No wonder Duke Eddie secretly hid one in his own dungeon.
“This one’s for you.”
Fanny handed the woman a set of women’s clothes, thinking that this was the last one.
But when she turned her head, she saw another woman huddled in the corner of a cell not far away, covered with a piece of tattered cloth.
The prison door is clearly open, why isn’t she coming out yet?
Just as Fanny walked over and was about to call her out, a woman warned.
“Benefactor, she has gone crazy. Please be careful.”
“Crazy?”
Fanny turned her head and frowned.
“Yes.”
The woman nodded.
“She went crazy after being gang-raped by a dozen men brought by the Duke.”
“More than a dozen?!”
Fanny was stunned and turned to look at the woman curled up in the corner.
Somehow, she felt that her figure looked more and more familiar.
“That’s right.”
Another rescued woman added:
“Generally speaking, Duke Eddie would get rid of the crazy sisters as soon as possible, but she was the only one not dealt with. It seems that she was left here on purpose.”
Feeling inexplicably uneasy and restless, Fanny hurried into the cell, quietly approached the woman in the corner, and found that her body was trembling slightly.
“You can’t be…”
Fanny reached out and lifted the rag, and saw the familiar face underneath.
“Enri?!” she exclaimed in shock.
Unexpectedly, it was Enri, the priestess who had always provided help to Fanny.
As soon as the cloth was lifted, Enri became extremely excited and started shouting and holding her head.
“Ah—no! Don’t touch me! Stay away from me!”
“Enri, why are you here?!”
Originally, Fanny planned to wait for Owen to finish dealing with the affairs of the lord’s castle, and then go to the church to find Enri when she was free to pay her back and thank her for her help last year.
Now, she saw her in the dungeon. How could she not be surprised and sad?
“Enri, it’s me, I’m Fanny! Don’t you recognize me?”
Holding Enri’s shoulders with both hands, Fanny kept shouting at her, trying to make her recognize her and calm down.
“Don’t touch me! Ah—don’t—”
However, Enri became even more crazy, waving her hands and feet forward and kicking wildly. Her long nails that had not been cut for a long time accidentally scratched Fanny’s face.
“What’s going on?”
Hearing some noise inside, Mapel rushed over immediately.
The woman who had warned Fanny to be careful pointed to a cell and said to Mapel.
“There’s a crazy woman imprisoned in that cell. It seems she’s someone Fanny knows.”
“What?!”
Seeing that Fanny couldn’t control the crazy woman at all, Mapel hurried into the cell.
“I’m sorry.”
In order to prevent Fanny from getting hurt further, Mapel decisively went over, raised her right hand, and delivered a heavy blow to the back of Enri’s neck, knocking her unconscious.
“Why did you hit her?”
Seeing this, Fanny suddenly became anxious and hurriedly protected Enri, then looked up and glared at Mapel.
“I’m doing this for your own good. She won’t even recognize you now!”
Taking a step back, Mapel responded calmly.
“Anyway, get her out first. Once she’s calm, you can slowly communicate with her.”
Mapel was right. Fanny quickly calmed down and lowered her head apologetically.
“I’m sorry, I just lost control of my emotions.”
“It’s okay. I understand.”
Mapel didn’t care. At the same time, she noticed the scratches on Fanny’s face and reminded her.
“Your face is injured. Go find Theresa for treatment, otherwise it will easily leave scars.”
The sooner the wound is treated with magic, the lighter the scar will be, or even invisible.
As a woman, Mapel knew that it was a big deal if a woman’s face was injured or disfigured.
Fanny then noticed that the wound on her face was aching, but she shook her head and said,
“Let others heal first. I’ll be the last one.”
Afterwards, the two of them helped the unconscious Enri put on clean clothes and took her out of the cell.
By this time, the imprisoned women had all been dressed, and Theresa had treated their external injuries, most of which were old.
“Ah! Fanny, how come you are injured too?”
Noticing the wound on Fanny’s face, Theresa hurried over to perform healing magic on her.
“Thank you.”
Fanny whispered.
During this time, Mapel counted the people present and confirmed that there were thirteen people imprisoned in the dungeon – twelve young human women and one female elf.
But according to a woman who was detained for a long time, there were more than 20 people detained here at the same time.
Some of the women who are no longer with us were tortured to death, some died of illness, and some were deliberately killed by Duke Eddie because they were disliked for their age, and then dragged away and buried somewhere randomly.
In short, it is impossible to come up with a specific number of women that Duke Eddie has toyed with, and his sins are quite serious.
However, even if these imprisoned human women could be rescued, they would have nowhere else to go.
They don’t know where to go next or what to do next. They may even have to sell their bodies to survive.
As for the elven woman, she wanted to return to her country as soon as possible – the elven country of Vinora Council.
None of them were easy to deal with, so Mapel could only take these people out of the dungeon where they had been trapped for a long time and place them in the guest rooms of the castle.
Then she went back to Owen to ask him how to deal with these imprisoned human women, and to report the female elf’s request to return home.
After being rescued with great difficulty, Mapel hoped that everyone could live in peace in the future and that the female elf could return home safely.
