The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me

Chapter 188 The whole world is a mess.That’s what Rosie thought when her mom died.She was tired of being taken away and floating around like a shapeless ghost. Herthas was the one who killed her mother. She wanted to bite him if she had teeth, tear him apart if she had hands.I resented him to death. The woman who stole my body in the middle of it all. Why couldn’t I do anything? Sh’d asked Rose a thousand times, but no one had heard her.It’s damp and dark in here; she’s slowly drying up. But she won’t die. Rather kill me. Anyone. Please kill me. She begged and begged.Feeling trapped in a pit where no one comes. <Poor you.> It was then that the ‘saviour’ appeared. <Come here, child.> The savior saved her. He pulled her out of the pit and gave her a body. <… Thank you, thank you so much.> At that time, I was crying and clinging to the savior. He was the only one who recognized me and took me out. <Tell me your name please. I will definitely repay this favor.> <Lee Si-eon? That’s an unusual name.> There was a time when everything about him was special to her. At ten years old, he was a big deal to a girl who had lost her body at a young age. The days spent with Shi-eon in the cursed land were really enjoyable. But the happiness did not last long. Until I found out that the reason for Lee Shi-eon’s existence is because of ‘Rose’. Rose, the hated Rose.That’s when their relationship fell apart. Rosie betrayed Shi-eon and became a ‘savior’ herself. When she thwarted all of Shi-eon’s plans, it seemed to make sense. But… Can I really be satisfied with this alone? My mother is dead?And those responsible are alive and well? I can’t forgive… Never… “Yurtha Herthas met a ‘fake’ impersonating you and this is what happened. Because they’re alone, I don’t know the details of what happened.” Rosie looked at Yurtha lying dead. It had been quite amusing to watch him hang on to her, mistaking her for Rose, but now he was gone. “The doctor here. He continues to receive treatment…” “That’s not necessary.” Rosie stroked Yurtha’s cheek. It was as cold as a corpse. “I don’t mind if you let him die, so take care of yourself.” “…….” Herthas’ death was what she wanted. ***** What is going on? So, did Richard bring me to his house now? The woman he called ‘mother’ entered the mansion to prepare a meal. The ‘mother’ I had heard about through Richard’s mouth seemed like a kind and caring woman to me, but when I saw her face to face, there was a clear fear in her eyes. “… Was your last name Amalberg?” Again, I thought I didn’t know anything about him. Of course, I don’t need to know. “I used that last name a long time ago, but I don’t use it now.” “Then you are just ‘Richard’.” Certainly his surname was never mentioned. I could have questioned it, but I wasn’t very interested… As I recall, in the original story, he was briefly described as an illegitimate son of the Count’ family. Wait, so the woman I met a while ago isn’t his real mother? “There is still some time until the day we reach there, so it is better to stay here in the meantime. This is my room.” His room was at the end of the hallway. Despite the fact that it was a room, the inside was very empty. The red curtains hung haphazardly in the middle of the wall, but the room was modestly furnished with the bare minimum. The thick dust made my throat tickle from how long he had been away. Richard opened the window as if to ventilate. I winced as the cold breeze penetrated my bones, and he took off his coat to cover me. “Thank you.” “I will start a fire.” He immediately left the room and brought firewood. “Are there no servants in this mansion?”I asked, puzzled that he would do something a servant would normally do. “Well… There were three servants before I left this mansion. I don’t know if they’re still working.” “And when was that?” “About eight years ago, I think.” “…….” If it was 8 years ago, the information would be meaningless. “So this house has been here for eight years?”Instead of answering, Richard nodded.He doesn’t seem to want to go into detail. It just felt awkward. Coming to a house you haven’t been to in eight years. Is it because of me? I crouched down on the sofa and watched him from behind light a fire in the fireplace.The shirt was pulled, revealing the outlines of his tight muscles. As the fire broke out, Richard got up and started cleaning. I watched him move wordlessly and then fell asleep. I obviously fell asleep in an uncomfortable position holding my knees, but when I woke up, I was lying on the bed. It had just been washed and the duvet smelled good. ‘Heavy.’ I felt a weight pressing down on my stomach and looked down, I found Richard hugging me and sleeping with me. Now the room is warm, why are you holding me? As I tried to push him away, he hugged me tighter. “… Are you awake, Rose?” “I’m awake, so get off me.” He kissed my forehead ruefully and pulled away.I tidied my disheveled hair and looked out the window to see it was already dark. Hunger hits me. “Do we have to take care of dinner?” “Dinner….” As soon as the dinner story came out, a knock was heard. “I… I prepared dinner…” The voice sounded timid, as if it was expecting us.The expression vanished from Richard’s face. He opened the door with a terribly cold face. “… Long time no see, brother.” “Yes. Long time no see, Elena.” “… My name is Helen, brother.”What are you doing? “… I see. It’s been a while so I might be confused. The meal is ready. What would you like to do?” Richard’s gaze rested on me for a moment. Helen’s gaze naturally followed him. Her eyes were curious. “You go ahead, I’ll be right behind you.” “Yes Yes…!” A woman named Helen immediately nodded and walked back. It was a pretty weird scene. Richard, who can’t even remember his sister’s name, or the sister who offered him a meal with a face full of fright. “If you feel uncomfortable, we can eat here, Rose.” He spoke as if I had a choice. In my mind, I wanted to eat here, but I suddenly visited someone else’s house and they didn’t see my face even once. “No. Let’s go down and eat.” I straightened up and headed out the door.Once outside, I could feel the difference in temperature. Richard took me to the dining room. Everyone was already seated at the table. The woman I’d met this morning was there, along with a man I recognized as Count Amalberg, and Helen, whom I’d just met, and a man who appeared to be her brother. Those four seemed to be the only members of the family. There was no conversation throughout the meal.The atmosphere was eerily silent. “Rose.”Then Richard poured water into the empty glass. I was so thirsty in the uncomfortable atmosphere that I didn’t realize when I ran out.His family looked at us with curiosity. “… So, how have you been?” After breaking the silence, his father finally spoke. “It’s nice to see you after all these years, so I asked how you’re doing, but you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.” His father also lowered his eyes to the table as if he was looking at Richard. Only Richard responded with a smile. “It’s been a good time.” “… Is that so? I wonder what you are doing these days.” “I work to protect people.” Was he referring to me? It was too blatant to tell. “If you’re protecting people, are you a knight or something…?” “Something like that.” His family didn’t even know that their son was a war hero and paladin commander. “You seem to be doing well. But the lady next to you…” The man looked at me carefully, as if he had been curious all along. The others agreed by quietly nodding their heads. “She’s my wife.”Richard smiled shamelessly, as if he didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty for telling such a lie in front of me. I was stunned. … I actually thought he would say that. I guess I’ve gotten used to his shamelessness. ‘I guess this house is a bit of a dump.’ I secretly sighed. I decided I’d play dead until I got to there. “… Ri-Richard.” At that time, his mother, who had been keeping her mouth shut, carefully opened her mouth. “… Can’t you just let us go now?”
