NOTHING. LYING IS BAD, INÉS. I WASN'T... ...LYING, AH! GOSH, I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING SEXUALLY EXPLOITED. WHAT ON EARTH ARE... YOU TALKING ABOUT...? I WASN'T... THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING... WAS IT ALMENARA? IT'S TRUE THAT HE'S PART OF THE PLAN, BUT I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT... WHY WOULD I BE THINKING ABOUT JOSÉ WHEN WE'RE DOING THIS? WHY DON'T YOU CALL HIM "ALMENARA"? AFTER ALL, THE ONLY DECENT THING ABOUT THAT BASTARD... HAA... IS HIS NAME. CALLING HIM AS SUCH WOULD BE A NICE COURTESY, DON'T YOU THINK? ...HE'S ALREADY CRAZY ENOUGH AS IT IS, SO I SHOULD AVOID PUSHING HIM ANY FURTHER. AFTER ALL, ALL I NEED IS A FEW HARMLESS LITTLE BIRDIES... ...TO SPREAD WORD ABOUT GÁRCEL... ...SO I CAN USE IT AS EVIDENCE IN MY DIVORCE. ...BUT... ...I STILL WANT HIM TO GET ALONG WITH EVERYONE. IS IT BECAUSE I'VE GROWN FOND OF HIM? ADULTERY ISN'T EVEN SEEN AS A NEGATIVE IN ORTEGA. IT MAY WORK AGAINST YOU IN COURT, BUT OTHERWISE, IT'S HARDLY SIGNIFICANT. A NOBLE WHO REMAINS FAITHFUL WITHOUT HAVING HAD A SINGLE AFFAIR... ...IS CONSIDERED OLD-FASHIONED IN THIS SOCIETY. I NEVER SET OUT TO DO ANY HARM, AND IN THE END, NEITHER THIS SOCIETY NOR I WILL HURT CÁRCEL. SO I'M JUST GOING TO USE HIM FOR A WHILE... ...BEFORE GIVING HIM BACK HIS OLD LIFE. BESIDES, IN HIS ORIGINAL LIFE, HE FAILED TO EVEN RECEIVE HIS TITLE AFTER HE REFUSED TO GET MARRIED, SO COMPARED TO THAT, THE FREEDOM HE WILL OBTAIN FROM THIS WILL BE TRULY PERFECT. SO... ...CAN'T HE JUST STOP INTERFERING WITH MY PLANS AND... YOU'RE DOING IT AGAIN. THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE. ...GO ALONG... ...QUIETLY...? THE CONSTRUCTION AROUND THE RESIDENCE THAT HAD BEGUN A FEW WEEKS EARLIER WAS NEARLY FINISHED, SO THE EARLY-MORNING SOUND OF HAMMERING OUTSIDE... ...COULD NO LONGER BE HEARD. THE FENCE WAS FINALLY PERFECT, AND CÁRCEL'S CONSERVATORY WAS ALMOST COMPLETE TOO. THERE WERE JUST A FEW ISSUES LEFT TO CLEAR UP INSIDE THE RESIDENCE, BUT EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINISHED WITHIN THREE TO FOUR DAYS. TIME... ...CAN OFTEN BE CONVEYED BY SOUNDS... ...JUST LIKE THIS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR HIM EVEN AFTER HE RUFFLED ME UP LIKE THIS. IS THAT HOW HE SPENT EVERY NIGHT IN THE PAST? BUT IF HE OBSESSED OVER EVERY WOMAN HE SLEPT WITH AND OVERWORKED THEM LIKE THIS, SURELY THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN RUMORS ABOUT THAT TOO... DISHEVELED HE WAS CERTAINLY PROMISCUOUS, BUT THE GOSSIP ABOUT HIS NIGHTLY ACTIVITIES WAS ALWAYS CLEAN. WELL... IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE HE'S FRIGHTENINGLY GOOD. ...BUT FOR A MAN WITH SUCH TIDY RELATIONS, I LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE WRECK... ANYWAY, WHEN DID HE LEAVE? WAIT... DID ONE OF THE SERVANTS COME IN HERE WHILE I WAS ASLEEP...?! YOU'RE AWAKE? THE WAY YOU JUST KEPT ON SLEEPING, I WAS GETTING WORRIED. ...KEEP WORRYING, THEN, BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR FAULT. I KNOW, INÉS. THAT'S WHY I PREPARED EVERYTHING SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO TROUBLE YOURSELF GOING DOWNSTAIRS. OF COURSE HE SHOULD BE CATERING TO ME... CONSIDERING HOW HE TORMENTED ME ALL NIGHT... SPEAKING OF LAST NIGHT... WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WORN OUT? DON'T WORRY. I WAS THE ONE WHO DELIVERED YOUR BREAKFAST. I EVEN WENT OUT TO GET IT MYSELF. NO ONE SAW ANYTHING. JUST GO DOWN AND EAT YOUR BREAKFAST ALREADY. I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. I'LL HELP YOU GET DRESSED. YOU CAN BARELY EVEN LIFT YOUR ARMS. ...AND WHOSE FAULT IS THAT? MINE. IT WAS BECAUSE I SKIPPED TRAINING YESTERDAY. SORRY. I WILL BE MORE CAREFUL FROM NOW ON. ...THAT ACTUALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE? IT DOES. IS THAT CÁRCEL'S PLATE...? MEN IN ORTEGA NEVER EAT BREAKFAST IN THEIR BEDROOMS... ...UNLESS THEY'RE BEDRIDDEN OR ABOUT TO DIE SOON. NORMALLY, I TIRE MYSELF OUT ON PURPOSE BEFORE COMING HOME. ...SO, THAT WAS YOUR IDEA OF BEING RESTRAINED? I THOUGHT HE WAS TAKING HIS REVENGE ON ME BECAUSE I WAS DISTRACTED... SO, THE PROBLEM IS SIMPLY MY POOR STAMINA? OF COURSE, I KNEW THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US IN SIZE... BUT THIS... Competitive Nature Triggered ...IS DAMAGING TO MY PRIDE...! ...WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING? YOUR HANDS ARE SHAKING. TOTALLY DEFEATED DO YOU WANT ME TO FEED YOU? DON'T. I REALLY AM FINE, SO JUST EAT YOUR OWN FOOD... CAN YOU EVEN HOLD A KNIFE? ...THIS IS PLENTY OF FOOD. THE ONLY REASON I'M FEELING WEAK IS BECAUSE OF YOU. SO JUST... BUT YOU GOBBLE UP WHATEVER I PUT IN YOUR MOUTH SO WELL. AND AS I SAID BEFORE, DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO FEED ME. IT'S DISGUSTING. THAT REMINDS ME, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HOW LACKING YOUR BREAKFAST IS. You Eat Too Little, Which.is Why You're Always So Weak In The Mornings. PFFT YOU'RE LIKE A CAT THE WAY YOU BITE. I GUESS IT MAKES SENSE... YOU HAVE THE FUSSY PERSONALITY OF A CAT TOO.
