Episode 109
I hurriedly approached the window.
“Why are you here?”
First Yurta, and now Dillen too. This is driving me crazy.
Dillen seemed like he was trying to say something to me, moving his lips, but I couldn’t hear him through the window.
I don’t know what he’s saying. When I shook my head, Dillen frowned.
Then he waves his hand.
Is he telling me to go back?
What on earth is he trying to do…?
After confirming that I had stepped back, Dillen clenched his fist tightly and pulled it back.
He took a deep breath and threw his fist forward with force.
Crash!
The thick glass shattered with one punch from Dillen. Not only that, but the window bars also flew away helplessly.
I was momentarily stunned.
When I was first locked up here, I secretly tapped the glass while Yurta wasn’t looking, and it was really solid.
‘I thought there was absolutely no way that could be broken with a fist…’
Is that even possible?
“Hello, Princess.”
“…”
“Princess, come here quickly.”
Princess?
Is he calling me right now?
But I didn’t have time to be dumbfounded.
Bang! The knights who had been waiting outside hurriedly opened the door and rushed in.
“What was that noise from inside just now… Who are you!”
The knights who burst in shouted at Dillen.
However, as if they didn’t matter to him at all, Dillen only looked at me.
“Come on, come here. You want to escape, don’t you.”
He whispered as if he knew my heart very well.
“Miss! Please get away from that scoundrel immediately!”
A scoundrel, they say.
He’s the eldest son of Herthas though. The knight doesn’t seem to know Dillen.
I smiled brightly and turned around to look at the knights.
The knights smiled awkwardly and gestured to me.
“Quickly get away from that guy…”
“I don’t want to.”
Without looking back, I ran to Dillen.
The knights rushed forward as if to catch me, but they were a step too late.
Dillen, who wrapped his arm around my waist, sneered at the knights.
“Tell that bastard Yurta.”
“What nonsense! Release the miss immediately…!”
“That I’m kidnapping your princess.”
With those words, Dillen held me tightly and jumped down.
* * *
A sharp blade rushed swiftly, aiming for his neck. However, Yurta deflected the sword without difficulty.
“Ugh…!”
In contrast to the opposing knight’s groan, Yurta showed no sign of fatigue.
Yurta cut down the knight with a single stroke and passed by.
How dare they attack the villa where Sister is staying.
It was absurd, but Yurta couldn’t understand why Count Evantes’s knights were attacking.
He had thoroughly hidden Sister’s location so that Count Evantes’s knights wouldn’t know where she was.
He had even killed the knight who said she had been attacked by that white thing.
But why…
Then a knight bearing Count Evantes’s insignia swung his sword at Yurta.
The attack seemed slow, but Yurta couldn’t take his eyes off that knight for even a moment.
This knight is definitely…
“Kugh!”
Yurta kicked the knight in the abdomen.
The fallen knight rolled around, but Yurta grabbed the knight’s collar and lifted him up without any emotion.
“…You’re definitely.”
I know this face.
“Ha!”
It’s almost laughable.
“Since when did my brother’s knight become Count Evantes’s knight?”
“N-no!”
When his identity was exposed, the knight reflexively denied it, but there was no way Yurta would believe that.
“Ugh!”
Yurta roughly threw the knight down.
“Clean up.”
He ordered his knights and left the vicinity of the annex where a battle like a war had taken place.
He needed to check on Rose urgently.
So Yurta headed to Rose’s room, but the result was facing a room left empty without its owner.
“…Where is Sister.”
“…”
“Where is Sister?”
The knights sensed Yurta’s sunken mood and bowed their heads deeply.
They feared the punishment to come. Perhaps they might have to give up their lives.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? I asked where Sister is, didn’t you hear me?”
Yurta’s red eyes flashed ominously.
The knights couldn’t withstand that overwhelming presence and confessed.
“A-a suspicious person broke the window and appeared to kidnap the miss!”
“H-he was a man with brown hair and red eyes!”
He had thought it was strange since the attack on the villa. After seeing that knight earlier, he became certain, but as expected, it was Dillen.
Yurta repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fists, trying to suppress his rising anger.
Rose had chosen Dillen once again.
That damn Dillen! Dillen! Dillen!
“Find Sister immediately. If you can’t find Sister, you’ll have to give up your lives.”
“…Understood!”
The anger still won’t subside.
Yurta pressed his palm firmly against his mouth.
Even in ‘that state,’ he still thinks of approaching Sister.
He won’t break even when trampled on.
No.
Has he not yet realized his situation?
I thought the past three years would be enough.
“It wouldn’t be bad to help my brother realize his situation this time.”
With that thought, his boiling anger subsided a little.
However, he wasn’t completely calm.
Within this anger was also woven long-held misery.
Yurta smiled coldly as he gripped his sword.
It was time to go find Rose.
* * *
Dillen held me and jumped down from the 4th floor.
I almost screamed for a moment, but he quickly covered my mouth.
How could he suddenly jump like that!
I wanted to shout, but when Dillen landed below, I felt so dizzy that I couldn’t say anything for a while.
He immediately ran while carrying me.
We entered the detestable forest once again, but somehow having Dillen with me was reassuring.
Why was that?
We had only briefly met 3 years ago.
Was it because he knew about Korea and had protected me?
“How on earth did you get here?”
I asked while wrapping my arms around Dillen’s neck.
His muscular body tensed as if nervous.
“…Whenever that bastard Yurta moves urgently, you’re always involved.”
So he came to rescue me after all?
No. Not me, but ‘Rose’.
I felt grateful to Dillen, but still felt somewhat sick.
It reminded me of 3 years ago when I was consumed by Rose’s shadow.
Emily, Yurta, Dillen. None of them saw me as ‘me’ but as Rose.
However, after meeting Michelle, I was able to live as ‘myself’.
That’s why I hated this suffocating sensation of being swallowed by Rose that I was feeling after so long.
“I chased Yurta and found out you were here.”
“I see.”
If he knew I wasn’t Rose, would he immediately abandon me and leave?
It was a pointless thought.
“Count Seiblain is waiting for you.”
“What? Michelle? But how do you know that?”
“I’ll take you to that woman.”
“You met Michelle.”
“Yes.”
Even after 3 years, he hadn’t changed.
I was grateful, but it was still somewhat bitter that the person he was trying to help wasn’t me.
“Thank you, Dillen.”
However, there was no way I could reveal such feelings.
All I could do now was pretend to be Rose.
“…It’s nothing.”
Dillen’s face turned slightly red as if embarrassed.
Why was he blushing over something like this?
More importantly, there were rumors that Dillen had become disabled or gone mad, but seeing him up close like this, he wasn’t like that at all.
So they were just false rumors after all.
That was a relief.
But then why was he driven out of his position as heir?
“Over there!”
Just then, we heard sounds of someone chasing us from somewhere.
“…Damn. Did they find us already?”
It was the moment when Dillen clicked his tongue and tried to run quickly while holding me.
“Cough.”
Dillen coughed up blood.
* * *
‘Oh dear. I warned you about this.’
Someone’s voice echoed in Rihardt’s head as if pitying him.
‘I told you now wasn’t the ‘time’.’
Rihardt ignored that resonance and forced his immobile body to rise.
After drinking the magic suppressant, the rampaging power gradually subsided. It was better than before, but his body was still engulfed in burning pain.
His body had been pushed to its limits.
He should have taken it earlier, but he hadn’t. As punishment for that, his body was burning.
Why had he hidden the fact that he could no longer smell that scent in front of Roji?
Even he found that puzzling.
Strangely, he didn’t want to tell her the reason.
Did he want to get closer using the excuse that smelling her scent didn’t hurt?
‘Want me to tell you something interesting?’
Despite Rihardt’s ignoring him, the ‘Benefactor’ continued to speak to him.
‘She’s a good person.’
Though there was no subject, he could guess who the ‘Benefactor’ was talking about. Roji.
“She didn’t seem good at all.”
‘She’s just not good to you, but generally other people judge her as good. Because she’s kind.’
Rihardt knew that too.
His insides twisted whenever she was cold to him while being kind to others.
‘But really, where would you find a truly good human? Everyone has their true nature.’
“…”
‘The fact that she showed you her rock bottom means there’s no going back.’
“No going back?”
‘It means you’ve thoroughly earned her hatred.’
He had known that for a long time too.
It was something he had to be prepared for once he kidnapped and confined her.
Though he had forcibly imprisoned a woman who hated it so much, he treated Roji like serving a princess.
The contradiction coexisted – wanting to treat her preciously while being prepared to be hated yet not wanting to be hated.
But now it was all pointless.
She had escaped after all.
‘Are you disappointed?’
The Benefactor asked Rihardt.
‘Because she’s different from what you expected? Or because she’s selfish?’
He wasn’t disappointed. He had never harbored any expectations on his own.
‘There’s nothing to be disappointed about. Humans are originally like that by nature. Beneath their good appearance, a bottom exists.’
Rihardt remembers the moment when Roji revealed her bottom.
For an ordinary person, it would have been quite an ugly sight. However.
‘She was cute.’
Excessively lovely.
And it was rather better that she revealed her bottom.
If she wouldn’t give him the kindness she bestowed equally on everyone, then he wanted to cherish even her bottom.
Rihardt ignored the annoying voice of the ‘Benefactor’ ringing in his head and came out of the estate.
White snow was falling outside.
He turned his head while looking at the pure white snow.
It was time to go catch Roji.
