Episode 205
After blocking the movement portal that connected the cursed land and its energy, Rihardt returned to the town square where Rose was.
The situation was still chaotic, but it was gradually coming to an end.
Most of the demon worshippers had been subdued, and the ‘fake savior’ had been restrained by the Pope.
Her face, which had turned blue as if she had swallowed poison, showed that Roji didn’t have much time left to live.
‘Where is Rose?’
Rihardt searched for Rose in the midst of the battlefield.
During his time in captivity, he had suppressed his desires as much as possible, waiting only for this day to come.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, a sword was thrust in front of Rihardt.
“Looking for her?”
It was Count Arzen Evantes.
“Do you have her?”
“If you came to take her, you’d better give up.”
The two men’s eyes were dyed with menacing light as they faced each other.
“I’ve spent a long time with Rose, so what right do you have to say such things?”
“Really? Then that’s unfortunate. She’s decided to be with me now.”
What is he talking about?
“As proof of that, she kissed me today.”
Arzen’s provocation hit its mark as Rihardt’s eyes turned dangerously cold.
“Rose dislikes you, so that can’t be true.”
She doesn’t like Count Evantes.
The reason Rihardt has been able to endure her coldness all this time is because she doesn’t love anyone.
However, Arzen smiles smugly.
“Since you stick close to Rose, I was worried you might be someone precious to her, but hearing you talk now, it seems you don’t know anything.”
“….”
“So I’m relieved. I don’t think you’ll be able to steal Rose from me.”
Rihardt thought he should kill the smirking Arzen.
Just as he was about to swing his sword.
Rihardt lowered his sword.
“What are you doing?”
Sensing the changed atmosphere, Arzen frowned and asked.
Instead of answering, Rihardt smiled coldly.
Displeasure deepened on Arzen’s face.
A good idea had occurred to him.
Let’s meet Rose and ask for the truth.
And if Count Evantes’ words are true….
Then he can kill this man right before her eyes.

How did things come to this point?
Dillen made me stain my hands with blood too, then collapsed as if his job was done.
It felt like I was left alone in this hell.
I sat there blankly, holding the blood-stained sword.
Yurta, who was convulsing and coughing up blood, looked at me.
Not knowing what his eyes were trying to say, I met his gaze. Until the light faded from his pupils.
“…I’m sorry, Yurta.”
For the first time, I felt sorry for him.
And this would probably be the last time.
I closed Yurta’s eyes.
‘But when am I going back?’
Why am I still here?
Because I didn’t kill him by my own will?
“What? Did I do it wrong?”
This situation was so absurd that I could only laugh.
I raised my hand to cover half my face. Unlike the chaotic world around me, tranquility lingered by my side.
I had thoughts that didn’t suit the current situation.
Like wanting to lie down here and take a nap. Probably because I wanted to turn away from reality.
On the other hand, my strangely rational mind was pondering how to handle the current situation.
“Dealing with you guys always leaves me like this.”
It’s troublesome.
“If you had listened to me, I might have loved you for life.”
“….”
“You just had to not do what I disliked, but I don’t know why you found that so difficult.”
“….”
“Not deceiving me, not betraying me….”
Even though no one was listening, I spoke to those lying there.
“I never asked for much.”
That would have been enough.
Why did they find that so difficult?
“I’m here, senior.”
Sian was standing behind me, though I didn’t know when he had arrived.
He wasn’t in the Pope’s appearance I had seen earlier. This was the Sian I knew.
Black hair and black eyes.
“I didn’t know senior could kill a transcendent….”
“But I’m still here.”
“You can go back, senior.”
“…How?”
“I’m here, aren’t I?”
I don’t understand what his being here has to do with going back. But I didn’t have the energy to ask.
“Don’t you want to go home now?”
When there was no particular response, Sian asked me back.
“…I wanted to go back.”
“Wanted to?”
“Even if I go back now, would there be anything left for me?”
There’s no one there anymore.
“Then you don’t want to go back?”
“No… anywhere would be better than here.”
I wiped the blood on my hands with my skirt.
I don’t want to live here with the label of having killed someone.
Even if there’s nothing when I go back, I’d rather start over in that state.
“Let’s go back.”
“If that’s what senior wants.”
Sian extended his hand to me. Strangely, I felt like if I took his hand, the environment surrounding me would magically change.
Just as I was about to grab his hand with the thought that it didn’t matter.
“Don’t go.”
“….”
“Don’t go, Rose.”
Another intruder had entered.
A face I hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Rihardt.”
“Where are you trying to go, leaving me behind….”
“….”
“Don’t go.”
At first, I terribly hated that man.
How could I possibly like a man who confined me and chased after me like a madman.
He even pretended to be my husband, taking advantage of when I lost my memory.
But now I think I feel sorry for that man. Is it because I have memories of feeling at peace when I was with him?
But this connection is too persistent.
A chain that needs to be severed.
“Wherever I go is my business.”
“Then if I block the path you’re taking, you’ll give up on that intention.”
Rihardt’s eyes were menacing.
“What right do you have.”
“I’m probably nothing to you. That’s exactly why I’m more desperate.”
Rihardt drew his sword and pointed it at Sian.
The carnage that had just occurred came to mind, making me sick of it all.
“This is why I hate you.”
“….”
“Still don’t understand? We’re finished. So go be loved by someone else.”
I couldn’t understand why he clung to me so desperately.
“So many people already worship and revere you like that.”
“….”
“You could have someone who loves you just by reaching out your hand.”
Since he could easily find love around him, wouldn’t it be more efficient to court such a person.
Rihardt stepped on the pool of blood and whispered painfully.
“Without you, nothing has any meaning or value… what use is any of that.”
“There are many things that can replace me.”
“…You really are cruel.”
“If you didn’t approach me like this, I wouldn’t need to be cruel. If you kept an appropriate distance from me, I would have been a kind person.”
When you approach so madly and frighteningly, how could I act the way you want.
“You’re the same. You only know how to put forward your own emotions.”
“…Then what should I do for you to stay by my side.”
Looking at him pleading desperately, I shook my head.
“Don’t do anything.”
“….”
“No matter what you do, I’m going back.”
I grabbed Sian’s hand tightly.
“Let’s go.”
“If you leave-.”
Then Rihardt spoke as if struggling desperately.
“I’ll destroy everything.”
“….”
“Michel Sablain too, I’ll destroy him.”
He was threatening me.
At that moment, I suddenly had this thought.
What had I been doing here all this time. Why was I wasting emotions?
Selline, Michelle. Aren’t they all fictional characters.
They’re all beings made of paper.
Right.
I’m going back.
Whatever you do, it’s none of my business anymore.
“Let’s go.”
“….”
“Please, let’s go, Sian.”
I want to disappear from This Place.
* * *
When I opened my eyes, I was in the room I had seen before.
With shackles on my ankles.
“Are you awake, senior?”
This place was Korea.
