The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me

Chapter 191 I worked hard to get here, and now I have to go back because Argen caught me?I can’t help but curse the shitty timing. But at that time, the guild master burst out laughing. “Just kidding, miss. I’m just playing a little prank on you, but you’re easily deceived.” “……?” “Take this.” The guild master handed the artifact to Richard and me. This… “It is an artifact that changes your appearance. Master Anri told me to give this to you two.” “…….” “I’m guessing this isn’t pure research since you’re hiding it like this?” He said it as a question, but the guild master didn’t seem to want to probe further. “Be careful, though, because when I say you might get caught, I mean it.” With that, he told us to use the artifact and opened the carriage door. Me and Richard wore the artifact and went outside. After that, the inspection went smoothly. The rest of the inspection was uneventful.The knights were uneasy about our inspection, as they trusted the Evantes family. ‘If you had such a plan, you should have told me in advance.’ I slightly resented the smirking guild master. Then Argen’s gaze turned to me.I felt like I was falling into a green swamp, so I quickly avoided his eyes, but Argen turned towards me. “The inspection is over, everyone can pass through….” “Stop.” “Marquis?” The knight shot a questioning glance at Argen, who had suddenly approached. “Do it again.” “Yes, sir?” “Check it again. From the beginning.” The knight looked at Argen with a bewildered face. The guild master was also surprised that it was a rare occurrence. “Okay, then I’ll check again.” A weak retort formed in the knight’s eyes, but this was the Marquis of Evantes. There was no way he would dare to throw up.The inspection began again. It was a tedious process, but no one thought so. I was very nervous and followed the instructions of the knight.So my turn came again. “Miss Elena Tesley?” The knight confirmed my identity by calling my fake name. And it was going well. “Wait.” Arjen stopped the knight. “Elena Tesley?” And call my fake name. “… Is there something strange?” When the atmosphere was unfamiliar, the guild master hid me behind his back as if protecting me. Argen’s eyebrows rose sharply as if that bothered him. “Elena Tesley, you stay here.” It sounded like a thunderbolt.What the hell? Had he discovered my identity? “No, Marquis!” The bewildered guild master shouted at Argen, but he neatly ignored her and turned to me. “Is there any reason why you shouldn’t stay?” “… Marquis, I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but I need all the people I’m bringing with me for a reason.” “For what reason?” “Elena has long studied the Cursed Lands and is knowledgeable. Therefore….” “If that’s the case, I’ll hire someone new.” The guild master looked at Argen’s curved corner of his mouth, blankly as if he was speechless. “… Elena is a child I care for, Marquis.” “Do you think I would ever harm her? If so, do not worry.” He’s at a loss for words. The guild master kept his mouth shut a few times, unsure if he can continue to convince him, then closes it again.He looked at me with an apologetic face.It seemed like there was no way. It had been so long since I had forgotten what kind of person the man in front of me was. “I will stay.” As I obeyed his wishes, Richard grabbed my arm.What can I do, there’s nothing I can do.He reads my expression and his blue eyes grow cold. I could see in his eyes that he was ready to draw his sword at a moment’s notice and cut through this situation.I swatted his arm away before he could do anything ridiculous. “Then where am I supposed to be?” Displeasure flashed in Argen’s eyes as I seemed to comply. “No. I changed my mind. Elena Tesley, I will allow you to enter the cursed lands with the guild master.” “……?” Whatever he was thinking, everyone, including me, doubted Argen’s intentions. I was nervous that it might be a test, but nothing happened until I entered the cursed land. Only then did I realize. Ah, yes. That man was a moody man. “Haa, looks like we made it through safely.” After a while, everyone took a deep breath as if they were relieved. “I’m already out of breath. This is why I hate this land. When I come here, it feels like my body is being cursed as well.” The guild master who stopped the carriage and got off grumbled as he distributed our luggage to us. It contained some food and a weapon for self-defense. “Isn’t it hard for you two?” He’s right, the air has felt different since we arrived.Sweat beaded on my forehead for some reason. “This is as far as we can take you. Good luck, you two. We’ll meet back here later.” And with that, we parted ways.From now on, Richard and I will wander this land in search of Shi-eon. How long has it been? It was not in vain to say that this land was cursed. I was short of breath and my head was dizzy. It feels like my body is being pressed down and lack of oxygen, just like when I climbed a high mountain. If I’m feeling this way, but would Richard be terrified? However, Richard supported me without any sign of hardship. “Rose, are you okay?” Richard pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat running down my cheek. I slowly pushed his hand away and replied that I was fine. “Shall we go out if it’s hard?” “… No, come on, let’s go.” “I’ll help you up.” “No, I’m fine.” We struggled back and forth for a while. I was too weak to fight him off, so I let him carry me. The cursed land was windy the whole time. Like a life-sucking wind, it seemed to snap my whole body like a branch I accidentally stepped on. It seemed like I was going to die first before I found Lee Shi-eon. It makes me think that maybe Lee Si-eon’s plan was not to want me to die here. My whole body burned as if my flesh was on fire. I’ve been in pain since I got here. “… Are you okay?” “I am okay.” He doesn’t look like he’s going to die like me. Is it too harsh for me?My consciousness fades. Richard’s body shakes with each step he takes, sending up vomit.I stretched helplessly on his back, cursed. I stared at the ground. The dry branches shake helplessly when the wind blows, and the rotten leaves that have been attached to it are falling. Every time the wind blows the branches against each other, it gives me a headache, like screaming into my ears.Then, someone spoke to me. ‘Kill him.’ ‘Kill Richard.’ ***** Entrance to the Cursed Lands. The knights beside Argen were puzzled by his uncharacteristic behavior. ‘Why did I have to think of that woman?’ What happened a while ago was quite impulsive.Was her name Elena Tesley? The name was already fading from his memory.But the moment I saw her, it stuck with me.I don’t know how to explain it, but I was drawn to her like an animal instinct. She reminded me of someone from long ago. A woman who was once my maid, then fiancée and then ran away. It was an unpleasant feeling. ‘If we meet again….’ I wouldn’t be able to treat her the same way.I wouldn’t be able to act like a gentle fiancé anymore. His green eyes sank dark. “Marquis!” Then one of the knights rushed out. “The Savior has sent you a letter!” Savior? Argen opened the letter without sincerity with a tired face. And in the letter… [The fake has gone to the cursed land. It is said that she accompanies Yuren guild master under the name of ‘Elena Tesley’.] Argen’s expression changed when he saw the short letter. The knights who had been paying attention to Argen stiffened at the smile on his lips.The wind brushed the back of their necks. “Catch the guild master of Yuren right now.” Argen, who folded the letter, gave an order with a bright smile.
