Episode 80

I froze and stared at Yurta, who stood tall at the bottom of the stairs looking up at me.

“…I heard that my sister was looking for me, so I came running here in good spirits.”

Yurta’s lips curved pleasantly.

“It seems the monster has escaped.”

“…”

Yurta walked up the stairs with leisurely steps.

The spiral staircase was long, but it didn’t take very long for Yurta to reach right in front of me.

I had no motivation to do anything and just watched him quietly, when Yurta reached his hand toward my face.

His thumb slowly rubbed around my eyes.

“Did you cry?”

“…”

“Because of that worthless monster?”

“Take your hand away.”

I sharply swatted Yurta’s hand away. Right now, I absolutely didn’t feel like dealing with him.

However, Yurta grabbed me even more firmly.

“There’s no need to cry because of a monster.”

“…”

“What are you afraid of? Whether that monster runs away or dies, you have me, sister.”

His voice, which had become rough as if angry, eventually lowered.

“You have me, don’t you, sister?”

Hearing his softened voice, I found it amusing.

“What can you do for me?”

“Everything.”

Yurta stroked my cheek and smiled languidly.

“I can do everything for you.”

“…”

“First, I’ll resolve the situation you’re facing right now, sister.”

“And in return, what do you want from me?”

Would Yurta really help me without any conditions?

I don’t believe in unconditional kindness. Especially if it’s from Yurta.

“You coming to me. That’s what I want.”

“…”

“This time, choose me instead of Dillen, sister.”

This time?

Is this another damn thing from the past that I don’t know about?

I’m sick and tired of their past now.

I’m neither Rose nor Roji. I have my own name…

This is really annoying.

When I was with Emily, the fact that I wasn’t the Roji she knew held me back, and if I stay with Yurta, I’ll live trapped in Rose’s shadow.

For life.

“This time, I will never let you choose Dillen, sister.”

Dillen…

I looked straight at Yurta.

“Sorry, but I don’t need your help.”

“…Then are you planning to reveal that you’re the princess of Herthas?”

“Even without you, Dillen will help me, so why would I bother asking you for help?”

As if I had stepped on a landmine, Yurta’s brow furrowed.

I observed Yurta’s reaction.

At this point, I’m really curious about what Dillen is like.

He was a character who wasn’t mentioned much in the novel.

From Yurta’s perspective, Dillen was just a fool, a half-wit.

But why, unlike in the novel, has Dillen become someone who receives Yurta’s wariness and harbors inferiority complex?

‘It’s not a situation that changed after I arrived either.’

If my actions had caused a butterfly effect that changed the novel’s progression, I could understand, but I can’t change things from the past.

‘Rose.’

The story kept flowing centered around her.

“…Is it because of what happened ‘back then’?”

I said nothing.

Again, a story I don’t know about came up.

“…What exactly do I have to do for you to forgive me, sister?”

Yurta spoke in a pleading tone. It was a voice overflowing with heartbreaking emotion.

However, even seeing that pitiful display, I felt no emotion whatsoever.

“You don’t need to do anything for me.”

“Then what on earth…!”

“I’m not Rose.”

At those words, Yurta stopped shouting and looked at me.

I was getting tired of this now.

Whether Roji or Rose, I wanted to stop.

“…Don’t think you can escape by playing word games.”

It wasn’t much different from what I expected. As long as I’m in Rose’s body, Yurta won’t believe me.

“Do you really think so? Haven’t you noticed anything strange all this time?”

“…Sister.”

Yurta grabbed my arm.

I momentarily lost my balance and swayed.

The moment the spiral staircase looked dizzying and my vision blurred, Yurta caught my waist.

“With this kind of scent, you say you’re not my sister?”

“…”

“You are my sister.”

What the hell is this scent that everyone keeps talking about?

Why do both Rihardt and you keep saying that to me?

“Please stop punishing me and come back to my side now.”

“…Punishment?”

“I’m reaching my limit too. It’s already been several years since I’ve endured by taking magic suppressants.”

“…”

“I kept enduring because you wanted to see me suffer, but how long exactly…”

Yurta spoke pleadingly once again.

I couldn’t understand what he was talking about at all, but strangely, I felt a lump forming in my chest.

The lump settled deep inside shook, making my stomach churn.

Then Yurta gripped my waist tightly.

His black hair disheveled as he looked at me.

I looked at his reddened eyes and opened my mouth without any emotion.

“Forever.”

It was a word that had nothing to do with my will.

As if I had to say it, my mouth opened on its own.

“Live in hell forever, Yurta.”

As I uttered those words, I felt my reason becoming hazy.

When I came to my senses, something surprising had happened.

My body moved regardless of my will. I pushed Yurta away forcefully without hesitation.

Yurta’s red eyes shook violently.

However.

Crash!

As if he couldn’t even think to respond, Yurta lost his balance and tumbled down the stairs.

It truly happened regardless of my will. It felt like an action committed by ‘Rose’, not me.

Even so, I watched this shocking scene with indifference.

Even seeing Yurta tumbled down, bleeding from his head, I felt nothing.

Only then did I realize.

The emotion that had swelled in my body to the point of nausea when I heard Yurta’s desperate voice was deep disgust.

“…What is this.”

I turned my head toward the direction of the sound.

Dark brown hair, red eyes similar to Yurta’s.

A tall appearance with a decadent impression. There was a familiar face.

Standing at the door, Dillen looked at me with surprised eyes after witnessing this scene.

Even though I had been avoiding Dillen so much all this time, when I actually faced him, I felt nothing particular.

I just looked at him with a silent smile.

“…Rose.”

“It’s been a while, Dillen.”

I greeted him naturally.

Dillen seemed at a loss for words at my calm greeting as he looked at me, then discovered Yurta who had tumbled down the stairs.

Dillen rushed to the fallen Yurta.

“Hey! Get it together!”

Dillen carefully shook Yurta’s body, but Yurta couldn’t regain consciousness at all.

I leisurely grabbed the railing, giving him time to calm down.

Now I felt like it didn’t matter either way.

“A transcendent wouldn’t be unable to get up from just this much… Rose.”

Dillen hardened his expression and looked at me.

“It’s not just me.”

“What?”

“You didn’t want Yurta to end up like this either, right?”

My head was throbbing and my whole body felt hot.

I had definitely taken medicine, but strangely, my whole body felt hotter than before taking it.

As my consciousness sank to a distant place and only an unknown self remained, I looked clearly at Dillen.

Dillen stared at me as if speechless.

“I thought you were…”

“…”

“I don’t understand what you’re thinking at all.”

Dillen looked at me with an expression of incomprehension, then twisted his face.

“Why are you in this place?”

Dillen slowly stood up, leaving Yurta behind.

He fiercely met eyes with me standing on the stairs.

“…After running away from Herthas, what exactly are you doing in a place like this.”

“…”

“I was curious about how well you were living after leaving Herthas.”

Dillen sneered, then gritted his teeth as if incredulous.

He looked at me fiercely, then slowly climbed the stairs. I quietly watched his actions.

Dillen stopped with a few steps remaining.

Soon I heard the sound of his deep sigh.

“Let’s go, Rose.”

“…What?”

“Let’s go. Are you going to keep staying here?”

At the unexpected words, I was momentarily stunned.

“That monster ran away.”

“…”

“The Count seemed to cherish it, so can you keep staying here? Are you going to reveal that you’re a princess of Herthas?”

“…”

“So let’s go.”

Me, with you?

Dillen extended his hand as if telling me to take it.

I didn’t immediately take that hand and stared at it blankly.

“Why?”

“…”

“Why are you helping me?”

I don’t understand at all.

In Rose’s memories I saw through dreams, Dillen was…

“You hate me.”

“…”

A bitter expression briefly appeared on Dillen’s face.

“Right. I hate you. So take my hand.”

Strange person.

That’s how the current Dillen looked to me.

“I’ll help you. Your escape. So hurry up and take it.”

“…”

“Now that ‘promises’ and such don’t matter anymore, I’ll help you. So let’s go.”

“…Promise?”

At my question, Dillen frowned as if it was strange.

“…If I helped you, you promised to kill Yurta for me.”

What on earth does this mean?

“…How were you supposed to help me?”

“…Why do you keep asking things you already know?”

Dillen looked at me irritably, but he soon obediently answered.

“I promised to help you return. There’s no way you’d forget this, so why are you acting like you don’t know…”

“…Help me return where.”

This time Dillen didn’t answer immediately. He just looked at me as if it was strange.

I urgently grabbed Dillen.

I had no idea what he was talking about. But I had a premonition that I absolutely had to hear this clearly from Dillen at this moment.

“I’m asking you. Where were you trying to help me return to!”

“…Well, the place where you originally lived.”

Dillen answered reluctantly, unable to resist my pressure.

“…Where is the place I originally lived?”

A suspicious look appeared in his red eyes, but I didn’t have the luxury to care about such things.

I gripped his arm tightly. As if Dillen might disappear if I didn’t.

“…Korea, you said.”
