Spoiler: episode 6

Plate?
The maid moved the food from the dog bowl onto the plate.
.... What is she doing?
"Please eat."
Richard watched her silently, unable to respond as softly as her usual.
The maid put out a plate and bread in front of him and took out what she had prepared behind him.
She wrapped the ice in a towel and carefully handed it over to Richard.
"…What's this?"
"You hurt your leg. Put in on it."
It hasn't been long since he met this maid, she was not such a great person to care about him.
Rather, he felt like she would do her best if he ran away.
"Oh, and..."
What else is there?
The maid offered dessert with a sweet smile that did not suit her.
" Would you like some?"
“...”
Is there any strange ingredient in that cake?
He looked at the maid without any reaction.
"Oh, I'm not giving you everything."
The maid picked up a fork and cut off about half of the cake. He looked at what she was doing, and the maid divided the cake into two pieces.
"I was going to share it."
When he didn't respond, the maid smiles awkwardly.
Did Argen order it?
If not, he doesn't understand the markedly different attitude from the morning.
He looked into her pink eyes as if to contemplate her intentions, but she seemed innocent.
"…your master won't allow it."
"Dessert? Dessert disappears when you eat it, but you probably don't know anyway."
The maid had a surprisingly big courage.
"That's not the only thing I meant."
" Are you talking about plates and ice? "
This too, and the kind attitude towards him.
Richard didn't trust people easily. Therefore, he doubted the maid's behavior in front of him.
However, his blue eyes hid his inner thoughts and still glowed friendly.
" I swiped the plate while helping with the dishes in the kitchen. And when I pretended to be hurt, people around me took care of me."
Why did you do that?
The maid responded as if it was nothing, but it was not light for Richard.
It wasn't that none of the servants passing by took care of Richard.
But the reason most of them behaved that way was because Richard seduced them, so they were enamored with him and acted friendly.
However, the maid in front of him was not very interested in him. Rather, she openly expressed that she didn't want to be involved.
But why?
Perhaps it was just a small act of kindness to her, but Richard had to pay great attention to all the variables.
That way, you can prevent variables that occur when you escape.
Richard could not shake his suspicions about the maid, and took a bite of the bread given to him.
At that moment, he realized that the sensations in his mouth were quite different.
It wasn't about taste.
‘There's no stimulants.’
Someone was constantly doing malicious tricks with his food, but not today.
Is it because of this maid?
"Does it taste weird?"
"... No. It seems a little different than usual."
"I understand. Sometimes the food I always eat feels different."
Whether she didn't know the meaning of his words or pretended not to know, the maid played the innocence.
In Richard's view, the latter was more likely.
Looking at the maid quietly, he threw out words that he would not normally have spoken out.
"Why did you do this?"
The maid couldn't answer right away.
She touched his blue swollen ankle.
"I'm kind to patients."
That means that's all.
Richard remembered something when he heard the answer.
When he gasped in front of her and begged for medicine, she meekly gave it to him.
Was it really because he was sick?
At that moment, Richard realized one thing.
In order to win this maid's heart, he needs to be sick for a little longer.


***


At first, I didn't mean to give you dessert.
However, when she saw his injured leg, she felt guilty so she offered dessert as if paying off.
But Richard's expression was strange. Were you touched?
Richard, who would normally be sly, said little.
He slowly picked up the bread and took his time chewing it.
Obviously, it was the simple act of eating bread, but every gesture he made was elegant.
"Are you always this kind to patients?"
Wouldn't it be rare for people to be cruel to sick people?
Oh, are you one of those few?
"Even if it wasn't a patient, I’ve always been kind."
“….”
She spoke to Emily, who she just met, and to the chef. I was kind to everyone.
…Except for Richard.
"I see, kind maid."
Are you teasing me?
“…Ahem. Earlier you asked me what perfume I use, right?"
I tried to ignore it because I thought it was a Richard-style comment, but still, you asked, so I decided to let you know.
"It turns out that I don't use perfume."
"…Did you have to find out if you use perfume or not?"
Oops.
I naturally made a slip of the tongue.
Well, that can happen to anyone. I was a little tolerant of myself.
"I have bad memory, so I can’t even remember if I ate after eating."
"Oh, my".
Was the lie too insincere?
I think it was probably good. Richard will listen to such trivial stories anyway.
"But you don't even use perfume. It's amazing."
"What?"
"I don't know if you are aware, but your body has a strong scent."
Is this a pick-up line?
Judging by Richard's face, it wasn’t a joke.
"It doesn't seem to be an artificial scent, more like a natural body scent. I'm sorry if I offended you."
"Yes, please hold your breath because it's unpleasant."
At the firm answer, Richard opened his eyes wide and soon burst into a small smile.
"I told you to hold your breath."
"If the maid wishes so."
…You're not really going to hold it in, are you?
Contrary to my worries, Richard was breathing without any disruption.
Since then, he was quiet. He finished his meal quietly, and I waited silently for him.
When there was no more reason to be here, I skillfully wrapped the plate in a towel and went outside.
It was a perfect crime.
....probably?


***


The sun has already set and it was a dark night.
The woman in the maid's uniform looked around.
When she confirmed that there were no people, she raised her eyes to the kitchen maid shaking in front of her.
"You couldn't put fruit in the monster's meal?"
"…I'm sorry."
The woman in the maid's uniform immediately wrinkled her forehead.
The name of the woman in the maid's uniform is Marie. She was of a high rank among the maids.
She was favored by the head maid for her unique snake-like tongue, so her position was solid.
But one day, a ‘suspicious man’ came to her.
He gave her a lot of money and ordered to powder suspicious fruits in Richard's food.
She tried to reject the uncomfortable offer, but when she heard the amount offered by the man, she couldn't help it.
Thus, Marie mixed Richard's meal with an unknown fruit.
Of course, to protect herself, she didn't do it herself, so she gave some money to the kitchen maid to do this job.
She thought that if things went wrong she would blame the kitchen maid.
"It's not just once, but you couldn't put it in all day long. What the hell is going on?"
"That’s because the maid who is in charge of serving meal was constantly watching the food..."
If it was a maid who's in charge of serving this meal.....
Rosie.
Vivid pink eyes and fluttering pink hair reminiscent of azalea flowers. She was a maid of impressive appearance.
All Marie knew about her was that she was spoke few words.
That Rosie interrupted the work?
"A day or so will be fine. But don't skip it tomorrow and put it in no matter what."
"I... That's...”
"What's the problem this time?"
"She said she'll always come first.….”
The unexpected answer broke her calmness.
"Why?"
"I don't know either. She said the chef looked so cool while cooking that she wanted to watch from the side..”
Could that be true? There was only one chef who was deceived.

 

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS!!!

 

thank you for the spoiler.

 

it's hard to understand by reading this spoiler thread Who's who again? Who's the ML? is the Duke is Richard? if not who is then?

 

The ML is Richard and he isn't a duke

 

Did ML really confine MC after he escape?

 

Idk. I have not read until that part

 

Here you go guys. This is the chapter where Richard will find Rosie after his escape

Spoiler: episode 99

The hall was frozen.
Gilbert, who confidently tried to bring Shabrina down as a criminal, was embarrassed when she gently admitted.
However, Shabrina even took off her wig and calmly arranged her messy pink hair, as if the situation was okay.
Her flowing pink hair matched her red dress.
After admiring her beauty for a moment, Gilbert came to his senses.
"But what's wrong with that?"
"What?"
"I haven't committed any crime, have I done anything wrong? Maybe just a forgery of identity thing."
What kind of new rubbish is that?
Unexpectedly, Shabrina took off her mask, and Gilbert realized that she was courageous.
That's right!
There can't be any countermeasures in this situation.
"If you're not a sinner, there's no reason to forge your identity! You're saying something that I don't understand!"
Shabrina smiled as if she didn't know what he’s talking about.
That amazing attitude made his attitude towards Shabrina even worse.
"How dare you enchant young Michelle and act as her aide when you're a criminal!?"
"What do you mean enchant? I just helped the abused lady."
Shabrina still smiled and responded.
"Well, I don't completely deny she was enchanted, but it's easy enough to seduce an abused lonely girl."
Everyone turned to Gilbert at the word abuse. Gilbert's face turned red instantly.
"I, I...!"
When Gilbert, who turned red, was about to shout, Michelle, who was in the center, ran out.
Clap!
She suddenly slapped Shabrina's cheek.
"You crazy bitch."
Michelle exclaimed in anger.
"Count! Please put this girl in jail right now!"
"What are you doing? Lock up that crazy bitch right now!"
When Michelle shouted, the count immediately ordered the knights.
Soon, knights rushed into the banquet hall.
Like that, Shabrina was taken to prison.


The banquet hall was noisy because of what had just happened.
"So the competent aide was actually a scammer, right?"
"Oh, my. What's happening?"
Everyone talked loudly without missing out on this gossip.
Only Michelle, who was still there, remained silent.
The nobles thought it was because she was trying to control her anger.
Soon Michelle and the count left the banquet hall.
Perhaps it was to punish Rosie, and the nobles said it was natural.
But the reality was different.


"Sorry."
Michelle rubbed Rosie's cheek, blushing as on a verge of tears.
"What should I do? Your face is red".
"I'm fine."
"That’s why I told you it's not the cheek!"
Rosie looked at Michelle screaming as if she was cute.
Then count, who belatedly entered the prison, handed Rosie her luggage.
"I want to give you time to say goodbye, but we don't have time. You need to hurry."
"......"
"You can go out through this secret passage. There's a carriage waiting outside, so it won't be hard to find."
"Thank you."
"Of course."
The count handed Rosie a robe.
Rosie immediately put it on and turned towards the secret passage the count shown her.
"Rosie."
Then Michelle called her.
"You said you'd tell you when you got back, but I already knew your name."
Rosie's eyes widened at Michelle's words.
"That's not my name."
"What?"
The count, who was listening too, was rather surprised. How many alternate identities do you have?
He thought she was unusual, but it turned out to be true.
"I'll tell you my real name when I get back later. It's a bit of a unique name, so don't be surprised."
I mean my korean name.
...of course, if I remember what my name was.
Michelle smiled happily.
"...I'm sorry for all this time.”
The count briefly left a word to Rosie, who was about to leave.
"And thank you so much."
"......."
"If you need any help in the future, please come to me anytime. I will never forget this favor."
Rosie smiled broadly at the two of them.
"You are welcome."

***

After a while, a visitor from Evantes came.
"M-marquis Evantes himself..."
When Argen arrived in the north himself, the nobles shouted in amazement.
"What on earth did she do that Marquis Evantes visited in person?"
"...I don’t think it's normal at all."
Argen ignored the nobles whispers and talked straight to the point.
"Where is she?"
"She’s locked up in prison for now."
"Guide me."
At Argen's word, the count went straight to the prison without saying a word.
But.
"Fire!"
"There's a fire in the prison!"
Suddenly, a sound rang out that there was a fire in the prison.
"What's going on?"
The bewildered count shouted.
Both knights and maids poured water into buckets and rushed to extinguish the fire.
After a long time, the fire that spread widely was extinguished.
"...Will she be able to survive in this?"
Someone murmured, but they closed their mouth under stares.
But it was the same. Everyone thought so even if they didn't say it out loud.
The prison, which was engulfed in great flames, was damaged beyond recognition.
Whoever was inside...
"I'll go inside, so get rid of everything that gets in a way."
Everyone was gossiping, but Argen ordered.
"There's no need for the marquis to go in person. Inside...”
"I won't say it twice. I'm going to go inside and check it out."
The count followed the words of the marquis, trying to hide his troubled expression.
And he cleared away any obstructions to getting inside.
As soon as they entered, the smell of acrid smoke hitted him.
It was quite disgusting to feel black ash all over his face.
"That's...".
Shortly thereafter, a body with burn marks was discovered.
It was the prison where Rosie was locked up.
"That girl was there..."
One of the soldiers muttered. That unconscious act became an unintentional testimony.
Argen came closer and checked the body.
It was disgusting, but he looked at the corpse for a long time.
And then he said.
"Search the area."
When Argen's order was issued, the knights made puzzled faces.
However, Argen's knights never questioned it twice.
The count kicked his tongue at the sight.
<He's very suspicious. You probably won't believe in fake bodies that were prepared.>


As expected, the fake body didn’t deceive him.
However.
The count left the prison and looked around at those around him.
Everyone except Argen believes that Rosie is dead. Rumors will spread soon.
This will do.
He did everything he could.
I hope you'll be safe.

***

The carriage rode.
The snow-covered landscape quickly passed through the window.
Seeing that made me smile automatically.
I feel like I'm moving away from those damn things quickly.
I didn't even know that Argen was looking for me. Because I looked at what the Marquis Evantes was like after running away.
So I took off my mask at the banquet hall as if I wanted to see it.
And I announced it.
In a place where Shabrina was before, Rosie was now dead.
Evantes and Richard are all over.
"Let's quietly change my identity and return to Michelle's side."
At that time, I won't appear in public like I did.
I will just dye my hair, change my eye color, and be next to Michelle from the shadows.
A happy smile burst out at the thought.
At that moment.
Rattle!
The carriage shook violently.
"Argh!"
As soon as my body leaned forward, I grabbed the walls in a hurry.
My heart raced at the thought that I was about to fall forward and be seriously injured.
"It’s an attack!"
The knight outside shouted.
Attack?
I wiped the dusty windows and hurriedly looked outside.
I could see the white thing protruding from somewhere out the window, running towards the knights in a frightening way.
Chaeng!
The intense sound of the two blades clashing could be heard even inside the carriage.
"...... Richard."
She muttered his name reflexively.
'I have to get off the carriage.'
There was no way the knights could defeat Richard.
Soon Richard, who defeated the knights, will come rushing into the carriage.
I slipped out of the back door of the carriage. And ran.
No, I was going to run.
"Cough!"
If it weren't for the sound of the knight collapsing and vomiting blood.
I got chills down my back.
He knocked down all the knights in such a short time?
No way...
However, the moment I looked back to check, I saw the knights who had fallen bleeding around first.
I couldn't see everything because it was covered by a carriage.
"Shabrina."
Then Richard called my name, and I came to my senses.
Before I knew it, the man was approaching.
When on earth...
"No, should I call you Rosie?"
I was at a loss for words and took a step back to get away from the man, but the man strode towards me.
The moment I was about to fall over because my legs lost strength, a man grabbed my waist and pulled me in.
"Now it's your turn to suffer."
"What, wha..."
"Now you can't go anywhere without my permission."

I think I'll continue translating latest chapters. But I already have raws up to 12 episode so I'll MTL them too, although I'm not sure when I'll be able to do that, I have a lot of things going on irl...

Also, there will be a deep kiss in 104 episode (Rosie+Richard) and starting from episode 106 we'll get a lot of Dylan and some flashbacks on little Rosie (judging by the comments)

 

Thank you for the spoilers! Do you know why Richard wanted to confine her/why he wanted to make her suffer (like compared to everyone else who tortured him/were complicit in confining him)?

 

Because he liked her scent and she has been nice to him. The demon worshiper had been poisoned him so FL set up a story and got rid of the demon worshipers so ML's food was OK. By getting rid of the maid who was poisoned the ML's food, the other maids tried to frame Rose for Jewelry stealing but they were hijacked by Emily.

 

plz give spoiler of next chapter

 

Hope it's readable, there were many sentences I barely understood and then tried to simplify for you... Especially the part about sacrifices.
Anyway, enjoy

Spoiler: episode 100

What did I just hear?
Even when Richard was slowly arranging my messy hair, I was dazed for a moment, unable to react.
I came to my senses only when Richard removed my bangs and kissed me on the forehead.
No, this is a ridiculous situation.
You should say that to Bottom, who confined you. Why are you saying this to me?
"That's why I would have told you not to take off the mask, but it was quite surprising."
“……Why did you come to catch me?”
By now someone from Evantes may have arrived to catch me.
II was in a hurry, so I couldn't be held captive by Richard like this.
“You never took off your mask in front of me, but you did it so casually in front of other people.”
For some reason he looked something dissatisfied.
“Don’t be funny and let me go.”
“Why should I do that?”
I was at a loss for words at his confident answer.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“Why does it matter?”
What kind of bullshit is this?!
“From now on, I will take you, criminal miss Rosie.”
“Who is a criminal?”
“Then, is it okay if I hand you over to marquis Evantes?”
Seeing me speechless, Richard smiled.
"You know I'm not avoiding you because I'm a criminal."
"Then?"
"You ran away..."
I tried to say it was because you ran away, but I closed my mouth.
I remembered the moment I betrayed him on that day three years ago.
3 years is quite a long time.
Enough to erase the scars and traces of the past.
Sometimes things of the past came to mind, but eventually were forgotten and I fell into other thoughts.
It was like that for me for three years.
At first, not long after betraying Richard, I pondered over that moment and was constantly thinking about it.
His distorted expression and his last words.
The words that you will not forget me kept ringing in my ears and tormenting me.
"Tell me, Rosie. Why did you stop talking?"
I did this knowing everything.
'I'm sorry about what happened then...'
Anyway, I couldn't keep holding on to him.
Yes. It was painful, I didn't feel good, and I regretted it. But we can't be tied up for the rest of our lifes because of this.
Even if I went back to that time, I would have made the same choice.
"I know you hate me a lot. We have decided to run away together and I suddenly changed the attitude."
“....”
“But there was a reason for everything. I'll explain.”
"Fine."
Richard readily replied.
Are you going to listen to me? The hope that there might be room for persuasion sprouted.
'The knights of Evantes will come soon, so I need to hurry.'
I quickly explained to him what had happened before.
“You may not believe it but... I've heard that demon worshipers were coming to kidnap you. They said they would kill everyone in the marquis mansion."
When I said it out loud, it sounded really stupid.Bbut it was real.
"But the situation could be somehow solved if Lucas or the marquis knew about it. I tried everything I could, but there was no other way."
"Is that so?"
"...I was sorry back then. Otherwise, the people at the mansion would have died, and you would have been taken away by the demon worshipers."
Richard smiled meaningfully when I said that I had no choice but to do so.
I stopped talking because I was reluctant to laugh. However, on second glance, Richard's expression showed regret.
...Is it working?
I hurriedly continued my explanation.
“You took the medicine that day, so you were very sick. So it was to protect you too. There was no other way.”
"Hmm, I guess you couldn't help it."
"That's right. Do you understand...?"
Contrary to my expectations, when Richard spoke as if he understood without a single word of denial, I thought it would work out well.
Maybe I can break free from the bondage of guilt.
Letting go of all the resentment of the past, you and I will go our separate ways.
I know it's a selfish thought, but for me 'I' was the first priority.
Then Richard laughed softly.
"Of course, I understand. In such a situation, you really couldn't help it."
As I saw Richard speaking with a face of sympathy, my expression brightened on its own.
"Thank you for your understanding. Actually, I haven't been comfortable since then. I was very worried about you..."
Is it just my feeling that Richard's blue eyes shone sharply at that moment? I momentarily paused before continuing.
"I'm glad you're safe. You've even become a paladin commander......."
"And miss Rosie then became Baron Seiblen's aide."
"That's right."
I won't be able to officially act as an aide...
“Now that the misunderstanding is resolved……”
I observed Richard carefully.
“Will you let me go? I'm a little busy right now."
I twisted my back to get out of his arms. But I still couldn't move. Rather, Richard hugged my waist tighter.
...... What’s going on?
"Excuse me......."
"Richard."
"Yes?"
"You promised to call me Richard."
"... Me?"
Did i say that? As I pondered about it, Richard grinned.
“Three years ago.”
"Ah...."
It's a faint memory because it was 3 years ago.
I don't know if I said that, but it would be better not to go against him for now.
It's not difficult to call your name.
“Please call my name, Rosie.”
“…Richard.”
"Again."
"Richard."
Richard smiled satisfactorily when I did what he wanted.
I too looked at him and forced a smile on my face, but I became more and more anxious.
We have to run away before the Argen’s knights arrive!!
"It's good. You're calling my name."
“It is not difficult. Then let me go..."
“Please call me like this more often, Rosie.”
In the future?
What do you mean? I have to run away now, but it sounds like we'll continue to be together.
“...the misunderstanding has been cleared up.”
"That's right. I know now that there was such a sad story."
“Then let me go. I have to go right now…”
"But there's one thing I don't understand."
Richard's blue eyes grew cold.
"Then why didn't you tell me back then?"
“……”
“If it had been the other way around, I would have told miss Rosie that she had been threatened by demon worshipers first.”
“.....”
At that moment, I was at a loss for words.
I opened and closed my mouth several times while searching for words.
“That… nothing would have changed even if I said that.”
What would have been different if I had told you back then that demon worshipers were about to attack that place?
What the hell could you have done after falling down from medication?
As if he had seen through my thoughts, the expression on Richard's face faded away.
“Then let me ask you one more question. Was there any reason for me to be sacrificed for the servants who were at risk of being exterminated?"
"That’s..."
I couldn't answer easily.
There was no reason for Richard to be sacrificed.
It seems that the sacrifice of one person’s heart (also translates as one’s long-cherished desire) for the sake of everyone else is acceptable, but in fact, there was hypocrisy that trampled on the heart of that person.
I know it too.
“Aren’t they the same after all? They pretended not to see me locked up there to live.”
That's not wrong.
In Richard's view, all of the servants are selfish people.
And he asks if he had to suffer for them.
“...Then should I have watched everyone die then?”
But what do you want me to do?
"You wouldn’t had died. It would have hurt just a little."
“....”
“Then everyone will be alive. If it’s hurt a little……”
At that time, I had to make a choice and decide which of the two was more valuable.
Wouldn't the lives of many people be more important than the brief pain that one person would experience? I thought so then, and I still do.
"As a result, you got out of there and are living well. Isn't that enough?"
As I spit out raw thoughts that filled up my throat, I saw the contemptuous blue eyes, and then I felt like trash.
"So.........."
Trying to avoid the cold blue eyes, I tried to look sorry.
"I'm sorry. I made a mistake. You're innocent. So I'm very sorry for you. But, but..."
“It’s done.”
The words that cut me off made me feel ashamed as if I had fully exposed my ugly nature.
"I really enjoyed what you said, but I think it would have been better not to say anything now."
“.....”
What the hell was I supposed to do? What should I had really done?
Now even I was confused and couldn't figure out what it was.
Then a squeaking sound was heard in the distance.
What is this sound? It resembles the sound of horseshoes.
As he turned his head to the side where the sound was coming from, Richard smiled.
“He must have come.”
“…come?”
"Who do you think it is? They are the knights of the marquis Evantes. Oh, did he come here himself?"
“...What?"
"You don't know that the marquis came directly?"
At that moment, I felt blood rushing out of my body.
Are you trying to get revenge by handing me over to Argen?
“… Let me go right now.”
“Rosie.”
“……Let go, let go! Let go!"
I must quickly escape.
I twisted my body and slapped him in the chest to remove the arm that was firmly holding my waist, but is was useless.
Richard looked at me sadly, then lowered his head and whispered in my ear.
“Why are you trying to make me angry?”
Hot breath touched my ear, but my whole body was freezing cold.
“Not now, not ever again, I will never let you go.”

 

Thank u for the chapter!
Btw, any spoilers about the demon worshipers attack they talk about?

 

Thank you so much for the spoiler! and does anyone know why Argen(Marquis) is finding our MC and her being being very afraid of him, Like if that was because Richard ran away? because I heard that he was interested in our MC.

 

thank you

 

I'll be busy next week, so I'm not sure how often I'll be able to upload the translation.

Spoiler: episode 101

The clattering sound was getting closer and closer.
My heart pounded like crazy and it became difficult to even breathe due to tension.
Then Richard grabbed my chin.
"Oh no. You need to breathe."
"...What the hell are you trying to do with me?"
I know I definitely did something wrong to Richard that day.
But I explained the situation, and Richard said he understood. So why are you doing this?
"I'm not the one who imprisoned you! It wasn’t me! But why are you doing this to me?"
I was just a maid serving Richard's meal.
Then, I got unlucky and became a personal maid.
"...Please let me go."
When anger didn’t work, I relaxed my body and called out to him as if begging.
Richard looked down at me like that and smiled softly. He still held me tight.
"Don't worry. Do you think I'll sell you out?"
With those words, he hugged me. I looked at him in amazement as his body floated up.
"What are you doing?"
"You said you didn't want to be caught."
Richard carried me into the forest. As we gradually moved away from the carriage, I felt gloomy.
"I have no intention of handing you over to anyone."
***
"How far do we have to go?"
Gilbert, who followed the count, gasped and exhaled heavily.
The dark forest was dusky as if a monster would pop out at any second.
Gilbert, thinking that the forest in the north was ominous, saw the count walking ahead.
He's got good stamina, too. The count showed no signs of exhaustion.
He has been constantly training on daily basis, so he did not seem to get tired at all.
"We are almost there, Gilbert".
"Didn't you say that a while ago? Where are we going?"
"I said we're almost there".
Gilbert shut his mouth because the count's cold response was quite different from what he had seen so far.
"I have something important to tell you."
"If you have something to say..."
"It's a secret story, so I can't tell you here, so follow me calmly."
"...."
What is he talking about?
It didn't seem to be an ordinary story, so Gilbert was forced to follow the count silently.
He walked like that for a while.
He's never moved this far in his life, and he thought he walked too fast.
His legs were shaking, and the sense of discomfort he felt for a while disappeared and appeared again.
When he was about to shout at the count once again with annoyance, the count stopped.
"We're almost there".
There was a shack.
Gilbert followed the count into the shack.
Several men were waiting inside. At first glance, they seemed to be knights.
Gilbert looked at this situation curiously.
"...It's an important matter, so is it okay to let them stay inside?"
"Don't worry about that. Because...”
Then the door of the shack opened again.
Who is it?
Gilbert turned his head towards the door.
A slender person wearing a robe took off his hood.
"...Michelle?"
You wanted to talk about something secretive, but why is Michelle...
No way!
"Haha!"
Gilbert burst into laughter.
He thought that count had brought him all the way here to show how he dealt with Michelle.
Gilbert believed so without any doubt.
But that was only a moment. Count's knights approached Gilbert.
As he looked back at them in surprise, the knights grabbed Gilbert's shoulder with a strong force and pushed him down.
"Argh!"
What is this all of a sudden?
Gilbert was forced to kneel by the power of the knights.
"Count! What are you doing?"
"What are you doing, you arrogant bastard."
The count bent his eyes round and laughed.
No way...
Gilbert, who belatedly grasped the situation, looked back at Michelle.
"Do you know that, uncle? This northern forest is so wide, that it's not strange if a person disappears without a mouse or bird knowing."
Michelle smiled brightly at terrified Gilbert.
***
Richard carried me up the mountain.
He never took me away from his arms even for a moment, as if he had no intention of letting me go.
He didn’t show any signs of exhaustion even though he climbed the steep mountain, carrying me. I tried to run away when I saw the chance, but there was no hope.
‘Is it because he is a transcendent? '
Why are you doing this to me?
"Ahchoo."
The tip of my nose was cold as the strong cold wind was blowing.
Richard looked at me as I covered my cold cheeks with palms.
"Are you cold?"
"Why wouldn’t I be cold? How many hours have we been exposed to the cold wind?”
He looked like he heard it for the first time.
‘His expression says that he’s not cold.'
I guess I'm not transcendent. I bit my tongue because I'm the only unlucky one here, but Richard put me down silently.
I was embarrassed at his action as I didn't know he would drop me off like this, but Richard took off his coat and covered me.
I was surprised once again when a large piece of clothing slid over my shoulders. He is kind for a kidnapper.
"Hold on a little bit. I'll take you to a warm place."
"...."
"The stove will warm you."
What are you saying now?
"Where are you trying to take me?"
Richard kept his mouth shut as if he had no intention of telling me.
He approached me as if he was trying to hug me again. I stepped back.
I spent a few hours like that, and I can't do it again.
At first, I was very embarrassed about what happened.
Of course, it's still the same, but at least my brain seems to be working now.
"Let's have a conversation."
"A conversation?"
"Yes. I know you're doing this because you hate me."
Richard smiled as if wanting to hear more. Unfortunately.
"But do we need to fight each other like this? Think about it carefully. There's nothing to gain from this."
After all, just because I'm with you now doesn't mean that your body will get better.
"I'm so sorry I did that to you three years ago. But now you know that there was no other choice for me at that time."
"...."
"So I thought about it. I'll give you a compensation."
"Compensation?"
Richard asked back as if it was funny.
But I couldn't laugh and nodded calmly.
"Yes, compensation."
"How are you going to compensate me?"
"Tell me the amount you want. I'll give you as much as you want...”
"Oh."
Richard let out a sigh and burst into laughter.
What the heck was so funny that he laughed until he was out of breath.
When he stopped laughing, he became terribly expressionless. It was so terrifying that I almost took a step back.
‘You can't back down.'
I have to get back to Michelle safely.
I'm the only one for Michelle.
I have to go back and protect her.
I know. How Michelle changes suddenly when I'm not around...
‘She is an unstable kid.’
Michelle did not show it, but she was terribly lonely. Without me, her psychology becomes extremely unstable.
And she has a weak body.
I have to go back and protect her.
So I had to persuade Richard here.
"Do you think I don't have enough money?"
"...Everyone generally prefers money. If it's not money, tell me something else. What is it that you want?"
"What I want..."
Richard, who pretended to be agonizing for a while, bent his eyes.
Then he approached me with wide strides.
"It's here."
When he pointed at me, I was speechless for a moment.
"... Is there anything else?"
"What else would I want besides you?"
So why me?
Now I was no longer needed for Richard.
Then there's only one answer.
‘Do you just want me to suffer?'
Just as how he was to Argen in the novel. Are you telling me to feel what you've been through?
So, you're going to lock me up, too?
There are always these types of people.
Those who say they don't need anything else and are blinded only by revenge.
Richard must be one of them.
'Such people don’t have manners at all.'
They're like beasts that drool and rush until they achieve what they want.
I calmly took a few steps away from Richard.
I thought about how to make a gap.
Richard watched my actions as if he was looking at a poor lamb.
Maybe if you think I'm out of your reach, you'll rush to me right away.
I stopped shortly after.
"I'll ask you one last time. You really don't want anything?"
"I told you it's only you."
I quietly put my hand behind my back and dropped the hairpin I had hidden in my sleeve into my palm.
I turned the pin so that Richard wouldn’t notice it.
"I have to go back. There's someone who really needs me."
Richard moved slowly, frowning as if he didn't like my words.
"I was sorry for you, so I tried to suggest the biggest compensation."
But I can't help it if you refuse.
I have to go back.
I clenched my hair pin as I watched Richard approaching me.
Let's stab him. (it’s not really clarified who she’s going to stab, but I assumed she is aiming at Richard, not herself)
