Episode 104

“I thought you’d come soon, but you kept me waiting quite a while.”

I stepped back when I saw Rihardt standing in front of the exit.

The exit was right there in front of me.

But this man was blocking my way, making it impossible to leave.

“I naturally expected someone like you to come this way.”

…While I was wandering around lost, this man had been leisurely waiting here instead of searching for me.

Everything I had done up until now felt futile.

“I was yearning to see you, so naturally someone as smart as you must have escaped with the intention of compensating me, right?”

“…”

Rihardt moved his feet as if he had no intention of waiting any longer.

And he strode toward me with large steps.

“I wonder how you’ll compensate me…”

As I stepped back to avoid him, Rihardt watched me and smiled coldly.

He tilted his head at an angle and looked at me.

“If you ask how much money I want this time too, I might be quite disappointed.”

“…You’re insane.”

“I waited a long time, so won’t you give me a kiss as a reward?”

Rihardt’s gaze turned to my lips.

But I couldn’t take Rihardt’s words at face value.

He didn’t seem to have any intention of just letting my escape slide.

“Are you going to hit me or something?”

Rihardt frowned.

“Why would I hit you?”

“Because I upset you.”

“Why would I be upset? We were just playing a game.”

“…A game?”

“Weren’t we playing hide-and-seek?”

Hide-and-seek?

My desperate escape was nothing more than a game to this man?

Just how am I supposed to escape?

“Why do you keep running backward? Roji, you’ve been caught. I won.”

His blue eyes looked at my legs.

It was a sharp gaze as if he would cut my tendons right then and there.

Wanting to escape from that gaze, I tried to move my legs quickly but ended up tripping and falling.

“Ugh…”

My bottom hurt from the fall and I frowned, but Rihardt’s gaze turned downward.

When I fell, my skirt had ridden up to my thighs.

Rihardt looked at the blood flowing from my leg, then strode over and knelt on one knee in front of me.

Then he pulled my wrist toward him to check the wound.

“…A wound this small shouldn’t bleed this much.”

Muttering to himself, he grabbed my leg.

I was startled and tried to push him away, but he saw the wound on my thigh.

“Ah.”

He exhaled as if he finally understood, then smiled coldly.

When Rihardt stopped smiling, all expression disappeared from his face.

His face showing no emotion was frightening.

“It wouldn’t be easy to deceive me to this extent.”

“…”

“I’m very angry right now.”

Because I deceived him?

“If you pull something like this even once more, I won’t let it slide.”

“…If you won’t let it slide, what will you do?”

“You worked as Count Seiblain’s aide for a long time, didn’t you.”

No way…

When Rihardt mentioned Michelle, I instinctively grabbed him urgently.

His clothes wrinkled where I grabbed them, reflecting my desperate feelings.

Rihardt looked at my hands and smiled slightly.

“So that’s your weakness.”

His tone was as if he had discovered something new.

Damn it. I couldn’t control my expression because I was startled.

“Do whatever you want. She’s just a stranger anyway.”

Of course I care about Michelle, but if this man knew Michelle was my weakness, there was no telling what he might do.

“As long as I’m safe, that’s enough. It’s true I got along well with Michelle, but even if she dies, she’s just someone I’d feel a little sad about.”

“So you’ll abandon Michelle? Just like you abandoned me?”

Why is he bringing that up now?

That, that hellish mouth of his.

“Then you wouldn’t mind if I killed Michelle?”

…Damn bastard.

I can’t waver here.

I should have answered that I didn’t mind. But I couldn’t bring myself to say it.

What if he really killed Michelle?

“Why aren’t you answering, Roji?”

…Damn bastard.

I just bit my innocent lips.

In the end, having no choice, I firmly grabbed his collar.

Rihardt’s eyes widened, and I pressed my lips against his, then pulled away.

He looked surprised, as if he hadn’t expected me to do such a thing.

“You said you wanted a reward.”

I replied nonchalantly as if nothing had happened.

It would be better to just change the subject.

“I thought you were a cat, but you’re a fox.”

Rihardt firmly gripped my shoulders.

“It was so sudden I’m not sure. Do it once more.”

“Fine.”

I kissed him again.

Unlike before, it was a sticky, intense kiss.

* * *

‘How much did he go at it?’

Even when I was out of breath and panting, begging him to stop, he wouldn’t let go, and my lips ended up swollen.

He went at it without restraint like a child tasting sweetness for the first time.

I feel like a goldfish.

Rihardt’s situation wasn’t any different.

His originally red lips were now red as blood and swollen like mine.

I thought his lips would be like steel since he’s a transcendent, but apparently that wasn’t the case.

“Give me your hand now.”

After bandaging my injured thigh, Rihardt now began wrapping a bandage around my wrist.

Unlike his flushed face from moments before, now it was utterly cold.

“Never do something like this again from now on.”

“It hurt more than I expected, so I won’t do it anymore.”

Even though I gave him the answer he wanted, he still seemed displeased.

‘What should I try next time?’

The same attempt wouldn’t work again, so I had to think of something else.

‘Come to think of it, his complexion looks a bit off…’

Hasn’t he taken his medicine yet?

Ah. I had a good idea.

“Want to sleep together tonight?”

He stopped wrapping the bandage and looked at me.

Rihardt’s face was completely flushed red.

“If you’re fine with it, I’m fine too, but it’s still too early…”

“Don’t say ‘still too early’ again. What are you thinking right now?”

I could clearly see the perverted demon that had taken residence in his head.

“I noticed earlier that there’s no one else in this estate.”

“…”

“What if a ghost appears while I’m sleeping alone in a place like this? I’m scared.”

“…”

“You’re the one who dragged me all the way here. So you should take responsibility, right?”

He silently nodded his head, seemingly unbothered by my shameless demand.

Time passed and night fell.

Throughout the evening, I refused to be separated from Rihardt.

【May I step out for a moment? I need to change my clothes.】

【I won’t look, so change here.】

【…】

【What if a ghost appears while you’re gone?】

Rihardt looked bewildered for a moment, but readily nodded his head.

‘I absolutely cannot let him take his medicine.’

Though it was a cruel thing to say, this was the only way for me to escape.

Regardless of what I had done wrong in the past, I couldn’t remain trapped in a punishment with no known end.

Whether he knew my inner thoughts or not, Rihardt smiled brightly and said teasingly.

【So you were afraid of ghosts.】

【…】

How annoying.

Night arrived and Rihardt and I lay down on the bed.

Rihardt fidgeted and reached out his hand as if to touch me. I sharply swatted his hand away.

“You said we’d sleep together.”

“That’s right. So let’s sleep.”

Rihardt let out a disappointed low groan.

I purely meant just sleeping together, so how exactly did he interpret that?

‘Isn’t he a pervert?’

But why is Rihardt being so nice to me?

I’d been puzzled since he obediently listened to whatever nonsense I spouted.

He brought me here to get revenge, yet his actual behavior was like a hotel manager attending to a precious guest.

I couldn’t understand why he was trying so hard for my satisfaction.

Doesn’t it look like the kind of behavior you’d show someone you like?

‘No. If he liked me, he wouldn’t have imprisoned me like this.’

He’d be too busy courting me by letting me do only what I wanted.

He’s just crazy.

Actually, Rihardt’s feelings don’t matter to me at all.

I have no interest in such things, and my only goal is to escape.

I lay on the bed waiting for time to pass. When drowsiness came, I forced my eyes open to fight it off.

After quite some time passed like this, I heard soft breathing from beside me.

“Rihardt.”

I carefully called his name.

“Are you asleep?”

No answer came back.

He seems to be completely asleep.

‘The novel described him as having insomnia…’

Why is he falling asleep so easily?

What would he do if I stuck a knife in his throat?

He really has no sense of caution.

I silently raised my body and waved my hand several times in front of his eyes.

Fortunately, he didn’t wake up.

Now let’s look for the medicine.

According to the novel’s content, Rihardt doesn’t keep his magic suppressant far away but stores it on his person.

This was so he could drink it immediately when the pain struck.

When I saw it before, it was about the size of my thumb, so it didn’t look difficult to carry.

I carefully felt around the sleeping Rihardt’s body.

I had to search with cautious touches in case he woke up.

‘It’s not here.’

Then did he put it in his pants?

Maybe he put it in his pocket.

I gently placed my hand toward his hip area.

I felt something hard on his thigh. Ah, he put it here.

I carefully pulled the medicine bottle from his pocket.

As I was cautiously checking on Rihardt, our eyes met directly.

“…”

“…”

He looked at me silently.

Did I get caught? Thinking I might be thwarted again, I froze stiff and couldn’t make any movement.

While I was tense, strange words flowed from Rihardt’s mouth.

“I understand.”

What do you understand?

“There are many, many different preferences in this world.”

“…What kind of preference?”

“I didn’t know your preference was to assault sleeping people, but I understand.”

What kind of nonsense is he spouting right now?

“Still, how about changing your thinking toward doing it while I’m awake instead?”

Rihardt sat up and boldly began unbuttoning his shirt.

What are you doing right now?
