Episode 81

The moment I heard those words from Dillen, my thoughts seemed to freeze.

“You…”

How do you know about Korea?

Rose said she wanted to return to Korea?

What the hell is this?

The strange feeling and unidentifiable emotions slowly settled, and my mind gradually returned.

“…Why are you acting like this? What’s the problem exactly?”

Dillen asked as if he couldn’t understand why I kept questioning him.

As I looked at Dillen and moved my lips, all strength drained from my legs.

“Hey…!”

Just as I was about to collapse helplessly, Dillen caught me.

“What, you’re burning up. You have a fever…”

That’s when it happened.

“What’s this? Why is everyone collapsed?”

The sound of people came from outside.

The situation wasn’t good. Dillen frowned and slipped his hand under my knees, lifting me up.

I was startled and grabbed onto Dillen. I could feel his muscular body stiffen completely.

“…What are you doing?”

I asked Dillen without thinking.

“I’m helping you, obviously.”

Before the person outside could enter the annex, Dillen hid in the darkly shadowed corridor.

His quite serious face looked like he really intended to help me.

…Is this help without any strings attached?

“It doesn’t seem right to go out through the door…”

Dillen muttered as if troubled and headed toward the window.

Dillen carefully looked behind us and opened the window. An ominous feeling washed over me.

“Wait, you…”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Dillen covered my mouth and jumped out the window.

This crazy bastard…!

I wanted to scream, but with my mouth covered, it was impossible.

He seemed to have anticipated this situation.

After escaping the annex without being caught, Dillen looked at me as if asking what to do now.

“…You offered to help me without even having a plan?”

“We can make one now.”

As if plans can just be made on the spot.

It’s only because I prepared in advance…

“…You’re not planning to follow me, are you?”

“I said I’d help.”

Did he really intend to help?

“Take me with you. If we go together, I’ll be useful somehow.”

I was at a loss for words.

With such a lack of planning, would he really be helpful?

‘Come to think of it, he knows about Korea…’

I had focused all my attention on escaping because the situation was urgent, but I remembered what Dillen had promised Rose.

Korea, of all things.

‘Then is Rose also a possessor like me?’

It seems I’ll have to take Dillen whether I want to or not.

That way I can ask about the situation.

“The monster escaped!”

Then noisy sounds came from the annex.

We can’t stay here any longer.

I sighed and said.

“Follow me.”

* * *

Dillen followed Rose.

Together with Rose, avoiding the Marquis House’s knights, he entered deep into parts of the Marquis House he didn’t even know existed.

There was what looked like a pre-dug hole.

As if she had prepared it in advance, she cleared away the grass that had been covering it.

Dillen passed through the hole with Rose.

After that, Rose silently took out a map from her pocket.

It was a very natural action.

Watching all of this, Dillen was dumbfounded.

It seemed she had been planning to escape from this Marquis House.

Dillen followed Rose.

【Roji?】

【She’s always smiling and kind!】

【She’s a bright child without a shadow of gloom.】

【Her heart is so pure and…】

【So sharp and…】

The Roji that Dillen had heard about just before was like sunshine.

She smiled brightly and was kind to everyone.

A completely different person from Rose, who had severe mood swings like the one Dillen knew…

When Dillen was with Rose, the back of his neck would sometimes feel chilly.

She would sometimes suddenly change as if she had become a different person overnight.

Laughing, then crying…

So even when he heard about the similarities between Roji and Rose, he thought they were different people.

Roji was a completely different person from the one he knew.

‘It was all an act.’

Dillen looked at Rose.

“Damn, nothing’s working. No wait, it’s not bad. Haha…”

Rose suddenly cursed, then burst into laughter.

‘…Changed my ass.’

Her behavior in the annex was strange, but the Rose he was seeing now was the Rose he knew.

* * *

Yurta regained consciousness.

“Have you awakened?”

The physician and Asel who had been watching over him cried out in surprise.

Yurta frowned and grabbed his throbbing head.

Rose had attacked him.

The moment he was pushed down the stairs, Yurta smelled a suffocating fragrance.

That fragrance strangled his throat as if to kill him.

“…Where is Sister?”

“…Are you going on about Sister again?”

“So where is Sister?”

Asel remained silent.

However, as Yurta’s momentum gradually grew fiercer, he had no choice but to open his mouth.

“…She escaped.”

“…Damn it.”

Yurta immediately threw off the blanket and got up.

“You should rest now….”

“Shut up.”

Yurta immediately pulled over the outer garment that was nearby.

He had to hurry before Sister went too far.

It’s been a whole 2 years since he last saw Sister.

During that time

“Bring me a map, Asel.”

“….”

“Hurry.”

Right. This damn master absolutely never listens to what he says.

Asel sighed and brought the map as Yurta commanded.

Receiving the map, Yurta scanned it with furrowed brows.

Where could Sister have escaped to.

A place worth escaping to….

Yurta’s gaze followed down to a certain place. A smooth arc formed at the corner of his mouth.

“Asel, send the knights immediately.”

“…What?”

“Don’t make me say it twice.”

Yurta hurriedly put on his outer garment.

Asel wanted to stop him, but knowing that Yurta would absolutely not listen to him, he gave up.

He would just follow Yurta’s words.

Asel checked the place Yurta pointed to and nodded.

“I’ll send the knights to the port.”

* * *

After escaping the Count’s Manor, Dillen and I arrived at the port.

The time to reach the port was supposed to take long according to plan, but thanks to Dillen it was quickly shortened.

Dillen, who escaped through the dog hole with me, said walking would be too inefficient and rented a carriage.

Dillen skillfully drove the carriage and I sat comfortably beside him, able to arrive at our destination with ease.

After safely reaching the port, my tension was relieved.

But I still shouldn’t let my guard down.

The Count’s Manor, having quickly grasped the situation, would soon release knights to catch Rihardt.

Did Rihardt escape through the maze as he said he would?

Thinking of Rihardt doesn’t make me feel good.

Stress accumulated rapidly as if my nerves were being pulled taut.

‘After preparing so much all this time….’

Everything became a mess.

The last moment with Rihardt came to mind.

In his disheveled state, with eyes filled with anger, he smiled coldly.

【I don’t forget what was done to me.】

【I’ll remember your name too, all of it.】

My heart ached as if it had been struck by a stone. My eyes grew hot.

‘…Yes, don’t forget.’

What was done to you isn’t meant to be forgotten anyway.

Resent and hate me for the rest of your life.

“…Dillen.”

I called him while trying hard to shake Rihardt from my mind.

“What.”

“…You mentioned Korea earlier. Tell me more about that.”

Throughout escaping the Count’s Manor, I never let my guard down.

A question I had wanted to ask all along but had postponed for a moment.

“What exactly do you want to hear?”

“…Just, everything you know.”

“You should know what I know too, so why are you asking about that now?”

What was unexpected after meeting Dillen was that he knew Rose better than Yurta did.

It was a completely different situation from the novel content I knew, making him even more difficult to deal with.

And strangely, in one way he was more comfortable than Rihardt or Yurta.

“…Actually, I’m missing some memories.”

“What?”

“I had an accident a few years ago and don’t have memories from before.”

“Why are you telling me this now?”

Well, because it’s a lie for your sake.

I smiled awkwardly.

Dillen muttered with a serious face that no wonder something seemed strange.

‘Well, because I’m not Rose.’

I have no idea what I was thinking when I said that to Yurta back then.

Had the medicine not worn off yet? I must have been crazy from the fever.

Even thinking about it again, I can’t understand my actions from that time at all.

“You just… said you wanted to return to Korea. That everything you had was there.”

“Is that all I said?”

“…There wasn’t much other talk. Just that you were a journalist there, something like that?”

A journalist?

After learning that Rose also came from Korea, I was curious if there were any commonalities between her and me.

Rose and I are both Korean.

Then is Rose the first possessor?

My mind is confused because I can’t understand what’s what.

‘If she’s a journalist, she’s probably older than me?’

Since I was a college student….

‘Wait, what was I doing when I got possessed?’

I can’t remember again. This damn memory.

In this regard, I thought I hadn’t completely lied to Dillen.

There were many things I wanted to ask Dillen.

Just as I was about to open my mouth to ask a few more things, Dillen suddenly stood up.

“Damn.”

“…Dillen?”

“Yurta….”

Dillen’s gaze fixed on a certain place.

I also turned my head following Dillen, and there was….
