One day, out of the blue, Jude and William’s bodies got switched……
With no solution in sight, Jude’s frustration had reached its peak.
Jude: Bollocks…..Gotta business meetin’ today that I can’t miss for shite.
William: Don’t worry, just leave the meeting to me. It will be a piece of strawberry cake.
(Even though he has Jude's face, William's being so playful that he actually looks cheerful!)
Kate: It's amazing how much of a difference a different personality makes.…
Jude: He’s gettin’ carried away. Been tryna act like me since this mornin’.
Ellis: Hey Will, can you say something funny with Jude’s appearance?
William: Hm, somethin’ like Jude….
William: How’s about I sink ya deep in the sea, hm?
Ellis: That’s amazing…..When Jude says it, it’s sounds like a death sentence.
Kate: But when William says it, it sounds like I'd get swept away by the waves of love and drown in his charm...!
Jude: …….You two, just ya wait till I change back.
[Transitions to Town]
To ready for the business meeting, we first headed to Raven, Ltd.
Jude: Listen up. Dont’cha dare open yer trap in front of my employees.
William: Why nah? ( ╹ -╹)?
(William seems to be enjoying playing Jude...)
Jude: Because of that right there, that bubbly accent of yers is creepy.
William: But if I don’t speak, how will you communicate with your employees?
Jude: Ain’t a biggie if I can’t speak for a day or so. There ain’t any incompetent employees in my company who’d let something like that hinder their work.
Ellis: …...I wish everyone in the company could have heard what Jude just said.
Kate: He’s so confident in them…!
William: I understand. Frankly, I’m just itching to say some of the quirky things you do, Jude—
Jude: Geez, thanks for yer candor.
William: But I don’t want to hurt or confuse the employees you care about.
William: My lips are sealed, it’ll be smooth sailing.
However, the situation worsened in a way Jude hadn't anticipated—
[Transitions to Raven, Ltd]
Female Employee: Oh, my…….
When a woman’s pen rolled across the floor, Jude (William), picked it up.
William: ………
Female Employee: Th-thank you so much….!
Jude (William) smiled, and the female employee blushed…..
And then, when one of the male employees who was carrying a large package looked as if he would fall over….
Male Employee: Gah…!
William: ……..
Male Employee: Thanks for the help. Oh, President….!
The male employee's face turned a bright crimson all the way up to his ears….
[Jude’s Office]
Jude: The hell are ya doin’, huh?
William: …….
Jude: Oy…don't act confused. Quit makin' all the employees fall fer you with that silent, charmin' British gentleman act of yers!
William: I thought I was acting pretty normally though……
Jude: Your personality’s practically oozin’ outta of me!
Ellis: William really can make people fall for me just by being himself, can’t he?
Kate: That’s William for you!
Jude: Haah…..Just start talkin’ already.
Jude: Better to have ya talkin’ strange and actin’ odd, than bein’ quiet and havin’ weird stuff happen. ‘Least I can do a little damage control that way.
Jude: But…..if ya botch up my business deal, I ain’t forgivin’ ya.
William: Of course. Just leave it to me….I mean to Jude! ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )
Jude: ……Gotta real bad feelin’ about this.
And so, William ended up taking over the business deal in Jude’s place.
(Jude explained how to handle the meeting beforehand, but I wonder if William will be okay….)
Importer: I can't accept those terms. Honestly, our profit margin would be way too low.
William: …..Yer shipment’s been stuck at port for three days, ain’t it?
William: Yer bein’ harassed because ya made a move on a rival’s daughter.
Importer: H-How did you know that?
(As expected…..William’s really embodying Jude!)
(….Everything’s going according to Jude’s plan so far.)
All that’s left is to follow Jude’s instructions and say:
“I’ll negotiate with the harbormaster to get the shipment released, all ya gotta do is accept these terms.”
But…..
William: Whaddya really wanna do right now?
William: If there’s love there, then shouldn’t ya do somethin’ about it?
(……? Those lines were NOT part of the previous discussion.)
Importer: Of course, I love her! But…..
William: I can arrange for ya to marry her.
Import: You’ll what?
William: ‘Course…..that’s only if ya wanna?
Importer: …..Oh, would you, please Jude….I-I-I mean President Jazza?
The importer switches from -San to -Sama here. So, I added President to note the distinction.
(What the heck is happening….this is so not Jude’s plan!)
Initially, the plan was to use the importer’s weakness, his affair with the business rival's daughter, as an advantage in the negotiations. But somehow it’s turned into him supporting that weakness.
Importer: I kept telling myself it wasn’t meant to be, but I... still can't give up on her!
William: It’s gonna be fine. But in exchange, you’ll hafta accept these terms.
Importer: It's practically a bargain compared to what you're doing for me! I'm more than happy to accept the terms.
Importer: ......You know, you seem to have mellowed out a bit since I last saw you.
William: Well, people can change overnight…..you an’ I both.
People can change overnight — it’s precisely because of such a transformation this business deal came about.
I was impressed by William's characteristic approach of getting Jude's conditions accepted while still letting the importer to choose his own path.
[Back at Raven, Ltd.]
Jude: What in the bloody hell was that…..That’s not somethin’ I’d do!
The moment we stepped into the president's office, Jude, who clearly wasn't satisfied with the business meeting that had just taken place, grabbed William by the collar.
William: I'm sorry, but I just couldn't leave a troubled young man alone.
Jude: That’s a real nasty habit…..Hah, yer the one who suggested it, so ya’d better see it through to the end.
William: Of course, I will. Now, Jude, I need you to accompany me on my business.
Next, we visited the “Mad Tea Party,” a social gathering open to people of all social classes held at William’s estate.
Kate: Have you been here before, Jude?
Jude: Been here a few times just to exchange info.
Jude: But…..there lotsa big wigs here today.
William: Yes, that’s because-
Woman: Ah, the star of the show has finally arrived!
The woman rushed over and joyfully grabbed William's (Jude's) arm.
Jude: The star of the show….?
Woman: Ohhh you, don't play dumb! Today's the day of the concert you organised!
William: Ah, yes.….My apologies for being late.
Jude played along with the conversation, but he briefly glared daggers at William. It was like he was saying, “I didn’t hear nothin’ about this.”
William: Music may not be a necessity, but it adds color and richness to life.
William: It doesn't matter what songs you play, or how you play them...…Say, perhaps we should have a concert where everyone is welcome to attend?
Jude: ……Haha, I just remembered at this very moment. Thanks for repeating it, Jude.
I could see a vein throbbing on William's (Jude's) beautiful forehead.
Man: Needless to say, the first to perform will be the Earl! Everyone has been waiting for you to come!
Man: And then, I shall play the violin afterwards, given what happened the other day…..
Jude: …..Yes, it was a shame that your string broke right before your performance last time. I look forward to it today.
Glancing sidelong at the man and Jude, who were chatting amiably together, I quietly asked William a question.
Kate: …..Um, William. Did you tell Jude about what happened at the mad tea party?
William: No, I didn't have that much time. All I told Jude was to come here.
Kate: Then how did Jude know about the man's string breaking...?
Ellis: I think he probably figured it out from the fact that the string had been replaced, or from overhearing surrounding conversations.
Kate: Jude’s adaptability is amazing….
I couldn't help but admire Jude for behaving like William, so as not to spoil the atmosphere.
William: Watching Jude play his role as me so earnestly, I might’ve gone a tad too far with my antics. Ahaha!
In the midst of our conversation…..
Woman: Come now, this way!
Jude was pulled by the arm by the woman towards the piano.
Kate: Uh, is he going to be all right? Can Jude even play the piano….?
Ellis: I’ve never heard him play. I don’t even think I’ve ever seen him touch an instrument.
Kate: Th-Then maybe he learned in public school!
William: He likely didn’t have piano lessons.
In a public school setting (Elite schools reserved for the well-to-do), musical instruction was based upon gender, social class & the type of institution the child attended. Boys generally didn’t receive musical education because it was considered to be a feminine pursuit. Their education was based on classical literature, the sciences, Latin, Greek, etc. If there was musical interest, then private music lessons would need to be paid for, and were often expensive. Just something I found while researching for the tl.
William: Well….I’m sure Jude could probably think up an excuse to refuse playing the piano.
Kate: I suppose….. It's a shame for everyone who was expecting you to play.
William: ……Then when the time arrives, I’ll play the piano as I am. I'd be delighted if you two could play some instrument to liven things up.
Ellis: I can play the castanets.
Kate: I can play a little too….I’ll do my best when the time comes!
Eventually, the conversations among the people gradually died down.
The reason was that Jude, still in William’s form, stood in front of the piano.
Woman: I can’t quite put my finger on it, but….Lord William seems a bit different today, doesn’t he?
Man: Yeah, even his posture has a bit of a roughness to it…..
Woman: He's usually so gentlemanly, but he has this gruff aura about him, and it's kind of wonderful...
With all eyes on him, Jude smiled gracefully, just like William.
Jude: …..This is rather troubling. With all this attention, I won’t be able to perform my best.
As Jude gave a wry smile, warm cheers rang out: “Don’t be so modest! Let’s hear you play!”
William: Very well, for the first piece…..I shall perform the first melody I’ve ever played here.
Amidst the applause, Jude sat down at the piano and began to play.
Kate: Oh my….. he’s really good!
William: ……I never would have thought he could play this well.
Not only us, but everyone around us was praising Jude's performance.
Woman: His playing is a little wilder than usual, but that's charming and marvelous...
Man: I feel a passion akin to anger in this performance...!
(Yeah, that’s probably because Jude’s pouring his frustration into it…..)
And so, the performance ended successfully, and Jude returned to us, much to the crowd’s lament.
Kate: Bravo, Jude! That was a wonderful performance.
Ellis: I didn’t know you could play the piano, Jude.
Jude: Only dabbled in it a bit so the nobles don’t look down on me.
Jude: But as soon as I sat in front of the piano, my fingers started moving on their own. I thought I was going mad.
Kate: Are you saying that’s William’s body remembered how to play….?
Jude: Guess so.
William: So that’s why the piano’s tone sounded like my playing, mixed with Jude’s roughness.
William: How marvelous. This is our very first collaboration, Jude! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)
Jude: Could you not say things in such a gross way please?
And so, a strange and intense day of body swapping came to an end.
And then, the next day……
Ellis: So Jude and William switched back only after a day.
Ellis: Kate looked so happy watching them switch places...it's a bit of a shame.
Jude: A shame? I don’t wanna go through a switch like that again.
William: Really? I had fun, so I was thinking of asking Roger to give me some of the body-switching potion...
Ellis: If there’s potion handy, I’d like to become Jude again.
William: Oh….Well then, why don't you and I have a Jude-ness competition, Ellis?
Ellis: Sure. I won’t lose when it comes to understanding Jude-ness.
Kate: Oh, oh! Leave the judging to me! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ )
Jude: Just what in blazes is “Jude-ness”?
(William and Jude are complete opposites….)
(But I think they were able to pull off the switch up because they understand each other’s virtues.)
There are plenty of sad things in life that make you want to look away, and painful things that leave you feeling helpless.
But that’s exactly why—
I want to record every single moment of days like today—days that are funny, joyful, and full of wonder.
As proof that the “cursed ones” are living in this world.
[Master List]
Will's too funny, he is SO committed to playing Jude lol. And Jude's just ready to throttle that man lollll. Anyway, it was a cute story and I am sure EN's official version will be even better!

Those burning crimson are a pair of breath-taking eyes, more red than a flame.
William : “I’m William Rex, the warden of this place.”
William : “In this detention facility, my “order” is absolute. You have no freedom until you get out from here, do you understand?”
(That's right, I'm on the mission to infiltrate enemy nation’s social party—)
When I was gathering their military secret, this man with crimson eyes confronted me.
Indicated from his noble-like appearance, I immediately thought he is a top-notch figure. So for him to find me out means that I'm running out of luck.
(There's no way he found out that I’m a spy since the beginning…)
Kate : “I didn't notice there's a warden here.”
William : “For an easier understanding, you can say as well as being a lord in this country, I also seize the full authority of this detention facility in my hand.”
While having a chit-chat in a good mood, he opened the jail’s lock and enters inside.
(This is my chance for jailbreak…)
Though the golden knife I carried has been confiscated, there's a chance I can knock him down by well-trained martial arts to escape.
Alas, such a hope just lasts in te blink of an eye.
Though I’m not under coercion, for unknown reason my body refuses to move.
(He just inspects me but why?)
William : “Would you tell me your name?”
Kate : “I refuse.”
William : “Then, nameless little robin. Why you've become a spy?”
Kate : “I intend….to stop the war.”
The cold war has been happened between this country and the country where I was born since a long time ago.
Even the slightest spark of conflicts can cause a war to escalated, shattering the so-called peace on a thin ice.
I lost both of my parents when I was a child and ever since then, I’ve been choosen by my country just to be raised as an useful pawn.
William : “Why to stop the war?”
As for why….when a war happens, a lot of people lost their life.
(Deaths of people we hold dear is heartbreaking.)
I’m fully aware of such fact.
That's why I will prevent it, even if I must withstand painful things in return.
William : “I see. Is it why you only have your body and your knife in possession, then fight as a pawn to stop the war?”
Kate : “That's right.”
William : “You also hurt enemies that you don't want to hurt, you try to kill those unconquered fear so now you straight up jump into enemy territory.”
William : “You've ordered to be captured in this way and if you are unable to escape from this country, you’ll die without managed to say a word or two.”
(How dare you said such things…!)
The moment I realized my agitated expression, I immediately turned away my face from him.
But, his blood-colored fingertip lifted my chin, make me facing him again.
William : “No matter how much you sacrifice your own freedom and free will to become a pawn, the war won't be stopped that easily, little robin.”
Kate : “Wha—”
William : “As for politicians who issued this order to you...”
Wiliam : “However they only able to think of “commence a favourable war on their side” so they can outwit the opposing country.”
(I hate it, I don't want to hear that….)
I don't want to accept that everything that I do to this point is futile, so I averted my eyes from such truth.
If I accept that, I...I feel that my existence won't be needed at all.
Disgusted with merciless words flooding my ear, I shake off his hand away and backed myself to wall.
William : “I made this facility to deal with those people who wished for a war.”
William : “Do you think it's a trivial matter which country you were born in?”
William : “I’ve robbed the freedom of numerous humans who commence a war and who twist free will of others by making them sacrifice their life for the sake of the country.
William : “In my eyes, those are equally evil.”
(What he just’ve said?)
To take such measure with ally or enemy—even with no exception to the countries, his claim make me dumbfounded.
But at the same time, my heart trembled in awe.
(If he manages to do those things of this extent….)
He shows his alluring smile and try to compromise with dumbfounded me.
William : “That's why I want to know the name of the person who issued the order to you. Would you tell me about that?”
Kate : …!
(No way! I might be swayed by such gesture and accidentally spill it!)
I shut my mouth tightly and avert my face from him.
But he won't let that happen, so he grabbed my chin and captured my gaze.
William : “Since you won't confess your sin, it can't be helped. Raise your hands and don't move.”
When he commands me, both of my hands are moved by itself—crucified above my head and become hardened in place.
Kate : “W-what you just did to me?”
William : “A magic to make you become more honest, little robin.”
William : “Then, shall we start the interrogation....”
Opposite from his terrifying declaration, his had is gently caressing my hair.
William : “The obligation to protect your higher-ups, isn't it what your heart wants?”
Kate : “Ah…”
If he unwrapped the ribbon on the back of my neck—
The lustrous long dress that I choose to seduce the government officials slipped off helplessly to the floor.
Now that my bare body has exposed — his eyes peered through countless scars of the past.
William : “To received this treatment…certainly makes your desire for freedom withered.”
The scars I got during the missions,
The scars I received because of my punishments, in order to "educate" me.
When his fingertips gently traced each of my wounds, stream of memories resurfaced and makes my heart in shambles.
William : “How pitiful…”
Please don't mutter it with a sorrowful voice …. or else I'll be fallen into your hands....
Kate : “I have it enough, please stop preying further into my heart…!”
The moment I let out a nearly screaming voice, a burning heat has lit in William’s eyes…
(What?)
William : “To little robin who keep killing the voice of your heart, shall we draw out what your heart truly desires?”
The hand that was caressing my neck glided through my skin, making my body shiver.
Kate : “What are you going to do…?”
William : “That's it…”
William : “Shall I melt away those reasonings to keep your mouth tightly shut?”
I gasped when his fingertips slid down to my bosom.
Yet, he only touch it in suggestive manner…and slid his fingers further down instead.
Kate : “Ahn… don't.... touch there…!”
His fingers slowly glided down into the spot that yearned to be touched.
The surface of my sensitive spot, he’s gently stroking it many times.
It feels like caressed by my lover.
(It feels so good….no way, what I've just thinking?!)
However, no matter how much I reject such thought, it's proven to be futile.
With my arms pinned above my head, the sensations penetrated my body, filling my head with pleasure.
William : “If you tell the name of your higher-ups, I promise that I will release you.”
Kate : “If… I don't…. want to…?”
William : “I wonder... what shall I do next?”
Kate : “Aaaahhn!!”
His tender fingers pinched my hardened peak, sending a sweet numbness through my body.
William : “You like to be touched here too? How adorable.”
I used to endured the pain from training.
But... these are…
These gentle caresses I've endured…I don't know if it's good or not for me.
William : “Still don't want to tell me?”
Kate : “I…can't think….straight….”
I bite my lips to prevent my moans from spilling out.
William : “Haha, you're so stubborn and noble.”
William : “Slowly, I’ll hear your true voice soon.”
He slowly dips his fingers into that spot, overflowed with sweet nectar.
Kate : “Aa….hn!”
William : “This is a training for you, little robin. Tell me more about what you truly feel as it is.”
Kate : “…..Sto— a…..hnn…”
(Don't look at me with that kind of eye…)
He’s someone from enemy's country, he’s the warden that made me imprisoned, on top of that he’s just interrogating me…
(But when he does that to me….I feel as if being loved. That's strange though...)
Though his gaze filled with afection, my mind that eroded with pleasure went mad.
Kate : “Ahn, hnng, mnggghh!”
William : “If you bite your lips, you won't be able to utter a single word, aren't you?”
Kate : “Aaa, sto— aaahhhn…”
He shoved his finger into my mouth, forcing to make it open so I can’t stiffle my voice.
Until now, I never experienced intense pleasure that penetrated my body—
William : “How pitiful yet adorable, brave little robin.”
William : “Stop binding your heart already…and quickly fall into darkness.”
Since Japanese often have the subject of the sentence omitted, i sorta improvised on "fall into darkness" part (the original sentence was "堕ちておいで").
When I hear his sweet whisper, my consciousness engulfed by darkness.
Fin.

This snail has risen from the grave pals, sorry for the long inactivity 🤧. Managed to finish the interrogation part is already an accomplishment for me (I'm slow af at translating, not to add i'm also juggling on my personal and irl projects + sometimes feeling burnout x.x).
I'm also translating the punishment part, but it may be published slower than expected (bcs forever struggling at translating smut x.x).
