Episode 184

What on earth did Roji leave behind?

Instead of entering the villa, Emily grumbled and paced around where Roji had left. As she did, she thought.

‘Roji is acting strange.’

Why did she act like that today?

She asked questions she normally wouldn’t have asked…

【I’m Rose, Emily.】

That face that looked like it was about to cry.

Come to think of it, Roji… no, I should call her Rose now.

Rose’s voice was trembling finely.

That precarious expression wouldn’t leave her mind.

‘This is all because of Anri.’

That bastard must have said something unnecessary to Rose.

‘It was bound to happen sooner or later anyway.’

Selline, Emily’s benefactor, disliked Rose.

【That child deceived me.】

Emily, who had listened carefully to every word from her benefactor, remembered her distorted expression and the voice filled with anguish.

She remembered it all.

【If that child hadn’t deceived me, I could have found my daughter much sooner.】

Her benefactor resented the fake who had pretended to be her daughter.

The fake had deceived her benefactor for so long that the years her daughter had been missing and her whereabouts became impossible to gauge.

Her benefactor suffered.

So Emily hated Rose, whom she had never even met.

However, strangely, as time passed, her benefactor’s reaction began to change.

It wasn’t that she told Emily stories about Rose.

But Emily had always been observing Selline.

She wanted to understand all the expressions her benefactor made and the feelings contained within them.

Perhaps that’s why she noticed.

The fact that her benefactor’s face, once full of resentment, had at some point changed to longing.

It was an emotion separate from hatred.

“Sigh… What should I do.”

Rose seemed hurt, but what should she do about it? It was troubling.

Just as she was ruffling her innocent hair in frustration, bang! A loud noise came from the distance.

It was a chilling sensation that made her ears perk up like an animal.

Flash, when she raised her head, smoke was rising in the distance.

Something had definitely happened.

* * *

“Why is the fake here?”

Yurta roughly grabbed my arm and pulled me into Anri’s line of sight.

“Did you dare betray Sister?”

He was truly angry.

His fierce gaze, which he had never shown me before, constricted my lungs.

Like Dillen, he seemed to mistake me for a fake.

‘Yurta. You can’t recognize me?’

It should have been a despairing situation, but a brief thrill surged up. It was the moment I had longed for my entire life.

However, for a moment I had wished for, the situation wasn’t good.

“Count Ascent, why aren’t you answering?”

I held back Yurta, who was about to explode like a volcano of rage toward Anri.

“Because I’m dumbfounded.”

When I sneered, Yurta immediately turned his head.

“Roji seems to have quite some talent.”

It was fascinating and amusing that Yurta, who had earnestly begged me never to let him go for his entire life, was acting like this after being deceived by Roji.

Well, what would be different about Yurta?

People are naturally deceived by what they see.

“Looking at how both Dillen and you call me a fake.”

“…”

“I thought you might be a little different, but I was wrong.”

His red eyes became hazy for a moment.

As if coming to his senses belatedly, his body flinched and trembled. But before he could make his next move, I reached out my hand.

Though he quickly grabbed my hand in confusion, it was useless.

As if all strength had left his body, Yurta’s body swayed greatly.

“…What did you do.”

“You know too. What I did.”

I caught Yurta as his body leaned forward.

He blinked his eyes, trying to overcome the drowsy sensation.

“How fascinating. Why do I have this kind of ability?”

“…”

“As far as I can tell, I’m an ordinary being with no use whatsoever, so why am I special only to transcendents?”

What kind of existence am I?

I had always wondered why I had fallen into this strange world and why I was special to transcendents.

Come to think of it, Sian had said long ago that he would find out the reason.

Yurta was completely collapsed and said nothing. A heavy weight poured into my arms.

“I’ll have to change the plan.”

I had run away with Emily to avoid Yurta, but it seemed like a rather meaningless act.

We would meet eventually anyway.

“How fascinating. To render Yurta Herthas helpless in an instant.”

“…”

“Now I understand why the Imperial Palace and the Demon Worshippers searched so desperately for the ‘special existence.'”

Anri, who had come down the stairs, spoke as if amazed.

“The Demon Worshippers were looking for a special existence?”

“That’s right. An existence that could stop transcendents. They had been searching for such an existence for a long time.”

Just as I was thinking what a tiresome thing to do, Yurta’s body suddenly fell away from me.

It was Rihardt.

He looked at me with a slight frown.

“So how exactly are you planning to change the plan, Rose?”

“First, tie up Yurta. Anri, do you have anything that could restrain a transcendent?”

“I do have something… but what exactly are you thinking?”

Anri seemed to have no intention of moving until he heard my story.

Though his expression was smiling, his face showed anxiety from things going awry.

“It was something that had to happen eventually anyway.”

“Subduing your brother?”

“You know what I’m talking about. Are you really asking because you don’t know?”

Both Anri and I were people who had gathered to stop Roji anyway.

If that was the case, we had to cut off the limbs that would become Roji’s strength.

Namely, Dillen and Yurta.

“We should try persuading them first.”

“What if persuasion doesn’t work?”

After that, it would be revealed that Anri had betrayed Roji, and my whereabouts would also be exposed.

It would be poisonous in many ways.

“If you thought that way, Anri, you shouldn’t have let me meet Emily.”

“….”

“More importantly, I heard Roji gives medicine to Yurta. Do you know what kind of medicine it is?”

“You mean the Savior?”

Anri seemed puzzled that I was calling the Savior by the name Roji.

It was understandable since he didn’t know the detailed circumstances.

“…Well. I’m not really sure.”

“But Emily knows, right?”

“Just because Emily knows doesn’t mean I know everything. But the Savior isn’t the type to take care of medicine for someone, so it’s definitely strange. Especially since the Savior tends to treat this man roughly.”

“…Treats him roughly?”

“She really hates him. When she gets angry, throwing things isn’t uncommon either. I’ll look into it.”

It was too disturbing to just let slide.

However, I nodded my head saying I understood for now.

After that, we moved Yurta to a remote place in the manor and put restraints on him.

Yurta still showed no signs of waking up, keeping his eyes tightly shut.

Following his bowed head, his hair also flowed downward.

I gently brushed aside his hair and looked at the wound on his forehead.

When did he get injured?

They said Roji treats him roughly, so is this a wound from that?

“What is your relationship?”

Then Rihardt, who was beside me, asked grumpily.

“Ah, I didn’t mention this. You should step out for a moment.”

“I asked what your relationship was first.”

“What relationship? Don’t you know by now? Younger brother and older sister.”

That seemed like an insufficient answer.

“Well, we don’t think of each other as family, but ultimately that’s the framework.”

I withdrew the hand that had been lifting his hair.

“We’re bound within the fence of family, but I really hate this kid.”

That’s right. I really hate Yurta terribly.

“Does that answer your question now? Please go out.”

“The answer is still insufficient, but….”

Rihardt paused for a moment and looked at me. His face showed he had much to say, but his expression suggested he couldn’t pour it all out in the end.

“Call me if anything happens.”

Leaving those words, he went out.

Thus, only Yurta and I remained alone in the room.

‘How long has it been since we were alone like this.’

Of course, I had never been with an unconscious Yurta before.

“…Ugh.”

Then, his black eyelashes fluttered as if he was about to wake up.

Along with a moan escaping through his lips, he opened his eyes.

“Are you coming to, Yurta?”
