The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me

Chapter 187 The Ascent family have a large mansion but few people. It’s because the two heads of state don’t like having people in their mansion. They don’t like people invading their space. That is why, no matter what happens here, there are few or no eyes to see. “It’s been a while, Anri, how have you been?” It didn’t take long for Rosie to enter the mansion with Emily.Anri greeted her, uncharacteristically disheveled.As if he’d been rushed out the door. “Anri, I thought Rosie was with us earlier, but she wasn’t. Rosie was here with me, and I thought she was… What is happened?” Emily asked questions before Anri could even catch her breath. “I don’t even know how things are going now, Emily.” He continued speaking with a confused face. “I met her by chance while coming up to the Ruad estate, but she disappeared. But why…” Anri looked at Rosie with confused eyes, as if to say, why are you here? “What do you mean, Anri, who was that we saw?” “… Probably the fake.” Her mood sank as she realized the situation. “So you missed it?” Rosie asked in a nonchalant tone of voice, as if the situation was no big deal. “… It looks like the fake approached with something in mind, but it must have seen you coming and fled. I’ll organize a search party right now.” Anri turned around as if to move quickly. At that moment, Rosie grabbed his arm. “Anri.” “What do you want to say?”Her eyes were meaningful as she looked at Anri. “Nothing.” She smiled and pulled away from his grip. It was hard to read her mind. “I suppose we should organize a search party, as you say.” Anri nodded and slipped his arm out of her grasp.Why did this woman suddenly come down here? It was fortunate that Rose and the paladin commander were rushed out of the mansion. ***** <I can’t help it. I need to change my plans.> Upon confirming that Rosie had arrived, Anri pushed Richard and me through the back door of the mansion. <Run through the back door. I’m sure the paladin commander will take care of the rest.> <…….> <Stay in hiding, then go to the guild master Yuren in a week. They will help you get to the Cursed Lands.> Anri said so and handed me the ring along with the map. <Tell them you came on my introduction, and this is your proof.> So Richard and I quickly left the mansion.He carried me to keep us moving quickly. “But Richard, shouldn’t we go the other way, not this way?” He turned in a different direction on the way, making me wonder if he had something strange in mind. “I know where to avoid being chased for a week, and if we go there, they’ll help us get to the destination.” “Where is it?” As we climbed the mountain, Richard clutching my hand tightly, he didn’t say a word as if he was considering his answer.There was nothing difficult about it. “Rose, why do you want to go to that cursed land?” I asked the question first, but rather, he asked a question. “To meet the real Savior, that’s why.” “And what do you want to do when you meet the Savior?” “To… Know the truth and stop the fake savior.” “Why do we need to stop her?” What are we doing here?It’s funny how I’m just answering his questions, but I don’t know why he keeps asking me more questions. “You, I’m trying to tell you something.” “I’m just wondering why you’re doing things that aren’t like you.” “…….” “You’ve always hated getting involved in complicated things, so you ran away to get away from it, so why are you trying to stop the fake savior now?” If it was me before I lost my memory, I wouldn’t have come forward. <There’s something between us that can’t be fixed, Yurtha.> I remembered what I said to Yurtha a few hours ago. Actually, there was one more thing I didn’t tell Yurtha. Even if he didn’t kill my mother, there’s a reason I couldn’t help but hate him. “Don’t worry. It has nothing to do with you.” “…….” Do I need to tell this man why, whether it’s not like me or whatever? Richard was silent. We stopped and stared at each other for a while, the clock ticking. “It’s your business, so why doesn’t it matter?” “It’s my job, of course. Who are you that you care about my business?” “… Do you really think so?” I actually know what answer he want to hear. “After all the time we’ve spent together.” “Then go back now, Richard.” I slapped him coldly. The smile completely disappeared from Richard’s lips. He’s also human, so he must have sensed my displeasure. “I never asked you to follow me. You came because you wanted to.” “Don’t you… feel anything for me at all?” “Feel something? What do you need?” He didn’t smile in the slightest and took my hand in his, our warmth layered on top of each other. “I love being with you like this…” His hands were dry from the cold wind, but somehow it felt sticky. It smelled sweet as if it had been smeared with fruit juice. I was speechless for a moment and looked at him. “I love you, Rose.” He brought my hand to his cheek. When I shook off his hand in surprise, he gave me a sad look. The trembling blue eyes seemed to contain a slight sadness. “Don’t cross the line, Richard.” “…….” “Feeling, yes. I’ll tell you one thing: You are quite a useful, so if you want more than that, go home.” I abandoned him and turned my back. I was going to climb the mountain alone, but Richard grabbed my arm. “Rose.” He’s following me after all. I’m sick of it. “If you want to follow me, just do what I ask.” I deliberately uttered only words that would touch his nerves, but he didn’t leave because he had no pride. I know what this man feels for me. Even after seeing each other’s hardships all this time, I still don’t know why he had such feelings. Instead of feeling horrible or disliking him like I used to, I felt sorry for him.Richard’s throat cleared as the words grew heavier and heavier. “I’ve always listened to you, haven’t I?” The man smile and rolled his eyes. Ah, now I think I know. He smiles even when I’m trying to hide my feelings. “But even if you treat me that way, it’s impossible for me to stop caring about you.” He raised his hand and caressed my cheek. “I haven’t cleaned up the cabin.” The cabin? You mean the place I stayed when I lost my memory? “… I didn’t clean it, Rose.” He repeated the same thing. I know why he says that. “Did you follow me because you thought we were going to go back there?” “…….” “That’s right.” Foolish man. It was both funny and pitiful. “Dream on, because I’m not going back.” I shook him off and started walking.I took a few steps ahead, but I didn’t hear him following. Did he going back now? Of course not. I hurt him this much.I couldn’t give him the feelings he wanted from me, and I wanted him to go away. I didn’t want to torture him with hope anymore. But after walking a few more steps, I heard a rustling, following. I ignore it, but the man’s thick arm pulled my waist. The man shamelessly hugged me and whispered. “I love you.” “…….” “I love you, Rose.” ***** After walking all day, we finally made it off the mountain. I had a short sleep in the mountain to recharge my stamina, and Richard cuddled up to me, complaining that it was cold.He didn’t look too cold when he said that. But I couldn’t turn him down because I thought he was going to freeze to death on my side. After walking a little while avoiding the chase, we arrived in front of a mansion that was falling apart. A slanted wooden sign read ‘Amalberg’. “Amalberg…?” It looks like the mansion of a family named Amalberg. Where am I? Suddenly, Richard opened the rusty iron door with all his might. A squeaky, unpleasant sound irritated the eardrums. My eyebrows frowned on their own. “Come in, Rose.” … Where am I? The mansion exuding eerie energy made me want to turn away. Shakily, I followed Richard inside. A black figure emerged from within the mansion and approached us. “Who dares to enter the mansion without permission…!” The woman who was about to shout at us looked at Richard and stiffened.Richard looked at such a woman and smiled. “It’s been a while, Mother.” … What?
