Episode 24

Damn it!

An ending worse than a death flag had been raised. Someone worse than Arzen, who had imprisoned Rihardt, was right here.

If I get dragged away like this, it’s over.

The thought that I might spend my entire life chained beside Yurta like a doll soothing his pain made my blood run cold.

I had to escape.

But how? Should I scream?

Though this was a secluded place, since a party was being held at the manor, there were many people wandering around the area, so someone would surely hear and come running.

However.

My opponent was Yurta Herthas.

Even if someone came running to save me, unfortunately nothing would change.

Even if Yurta committed the terrible act of killing that person on the spot, with his considerable power and influence, he wouldn’t be punished.

All escape routes were blocked.

There was nowhere to run.

Knowing this fact well, Yurta was leisurely, seemingly very satisfied.

What should I do, really?

“Where are you going, carrying my maid?”

Then an unexpected voice was heard.

When I lifted my head, I saw a familiar face behind Yurta’s back.

Arzen!

This was the first time I was so glad to see that crazy bastard I’d always been busy avoiding.

Yurta stopped in place with an openly annoyed expression.

“She probably isn’t Count Evantes’ maid anymore.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Well, this person is…”

No!

I slapped Yurta’s lips before he could finish speaking.

The slap was so crisp that the sound rang out cheerfully in the air.

At that moment, both men fell silent.

“…What are you doing?”

Arzen, who had been seriously engaged in the situation, looked at me with a deflated expression.

Well, I don’t really know either. But could you save me first?

If Arzen saved me here, my willingness to serve his bedroom for life was overflowing to the point of spilling over.

Just cleaning, of course.

I sent a desperate gaze toward Arzen.

Arzen seemed to understand that look and said what I wanted to hear.

“Either way, put her down, Young Master Herthas.”

“I refuse.”

“You’re spouting nonsense at my maid. If you’re lustful, crawl to a pleasure district. Don’t do dirty things in my Evantes.”

Arzen’s words sharply cutting down Yurta couldn’t have been more welcome.

“Count Evantes seems to be unaware.”

“My lord! It seems the Count’s heir is quite drunk!”

“Sister, what are you saying right now…”

Before Yurta could speak, I struck first.

“I must resemble this person’s sister in appearance, because he keeps calling me sister while drunk!”

“So that’s what it was.”

At my words, Yurta’s red eyes glowed strangely.

What are you doing right now, sister?

When he protested with his eyes, I also answered with my eyes. Just shut up.

“Young master, I’ve heard plenty about your reputation. I hear your only sister has disappeared?”

“…”

“Even so, it’s troublesome if you mistake my maid for your sister.”

As expected, “striking first wins” – it was successful.

“I’ll overlook your drunken behavior. So put down my maid now.”

Hearing Arzen’s words, Yurta’s red eyes sank darkly.

“My maid…”

“Yes, my maid.”

Yurta regarded Roji as his possession. So he didn’t like Arzen treating me as his property.

But from Arzen’s perspective, it was natural.

There was nothing in this count’s manor that wasn’t his. His mansion, his garden, his employees.

“And that child is a bit special.”

Huh…?

This was something I hadn’t expected to hear.

“Special?”

The more Arzen spoke, the more murderous intent appeared in Yurta’s eyes. His reason seemed to be on the verge of snapping.

Soon after, Arzen smiled slyly and dropped a bombshell.

“Yes. She’s the child who tends to my bedroom.”

Arzen, who had dropped the bombshell, smiled gently. Only he could show such composure in this place.

“So I’d appreciate it if you’d put that maid down.”

“…”

“You know how special a maid who tends to one’s bedroom is, don’t you.”

This crazy bastard.

Is he saying such things while trying to help me? If he says that, Yurta will misunderstand…!

To describe our relationship, which ended as an attempt(?) to change bedroom sheets, like that…

Sure enough, Yurta was silent for a moment. His face looked somehow dazed.

“Bedroom service…”

At that moment, Yurta’s red eyes became bloodshot.

He looked at me with eyes distorted by madness.

“…Sister, how did this happen.”

“She’s not your sister, she’s my maid. You still haven’t come to your senses.”

However, despite Arzen’s reproach, Yurta continued to mutter repeatedly about bedroom service.

Like someone who had completely lost his reason.

Being held in his arms, I suddenly got goosebumps. Murderous intent was emanating from Yurta’s body.

As if he would blow up the entire mansion.

“Sister.”

“…”

“You can look forward to what happens from now on.”

His voice was ominously dark, as if he would immediately destroy this mansion and lock me away somewhere.

Look forward to it?

I didn’t know what it was, but I didn’t want to know. No, I felt like I shouldn’t know.

“If that’s truly sister’s will, then I should step back.”

However, the words that flowed from Yurta’s mouth were unexpected.

Just moments ago he had tried to forcibly drag me away, yet he obediently put me down.

Not knowing what Yurta was thinking, I watched him with narrowed eyes.

However, Yurta elegantly bowed slightly toward Arzen.

“Then I’ll see you again next time, Count.”

With that greeting finished, he turned his back.

Yurta disappeared from my sight. Completely.

But what was this uneasy feeling?

“…Thank you for helping me, Count.”

“I just don’t like anyone touching my belongings.”

Belongings….

The word he casually uttered was so absurd that I couldn’t even laugh.

Still, I had nearly been dragged away by Yurta, so I was fortunate that Arzen helped me.

I realized that Arzen, one of the top candidates I should avoid, could sometimes be helpful.

“But what’s that baggage?”

When Arzen pointed at the bundle in my arms, I bit my lips in dismay.

What should I do? If Arzen finds out here that I was trying to escape….

Absolutely not.

What should I say to get through this situation….

“How long are you going to hold that filthy thing.”

“…Pardon?”

“They collect trash over there, so you’d better throw it away quickly. Having such a filthy object doesn’t look very good.”

It seemed Arzen regarded the shabby bag I was carrying as trash.

…This bastard.

Still, I decided to console myself with the thought that it was fortunate he didn’t know I was trying to flee with my belongings.

I greeted Arzen and quickly walked into my room prepared at the Count’s Mansion.

It seemed leaving the Marquis House would be difficult for the time being.

The thought that Yurta might be waiting outside to catch me the moment I left made my skin crawl.

‘Between a rock and a hard place.’

It was a phrase that perfectly suited this situation.

I lay down on the bed, clutching my hair, and spent the entire day like that.

* * *

Facing the cool night breeze as he moved away from the Party Venue, Yurta’s face was cold.

His red eyes, gleaming with madness, were deeply contemplating something.

‘Bedroom service….’

His mind was filled entirely with that thought.

His sister had abandoned him.

And she was serving in the Count’s Bedroom.

As he recalled this fact once more, his lips twisted.

“Since sister doesn’t want to leave This Place, there’s no choice….”

He repeated to himself the words he had said to Roji, no, Rose.

“I must show understanding….”

At first glance, it sounded like words acknowledging Rose’s will, but in reality it wasn’t.

Rather, it was the complete opposite.

“Since my sister says she doesn’t want to go.”

A gentle smile formed at the corners of his mouth.

“I have no choice but to make her come out of that place.”

That was a very easy thing for him to do.

Especially in a situation where Rose said she wasn’t his sister.

Currently, she had refused to be tied to him as family.

So he intended to give her the appropriate treatment.

Until Rose came crawling to him, that is.

“Since she denied that fact, she’ll have to pay the price dearly.”

My sister.
