The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me

I looked up blankly at Richard.

He was looking down at us with an extremely cold face.

The sword he was holding left the traces of hurting someone.

Bright red blood flows down the long sword.

I shifted my gaze and saw the man who had fallen over me.

He was a wounded, disheveled mess, apparently killed by Richard.

“Young master Paello? What is this…”

“Uh-huh!”

But I was speechless.

Richard’s sword pierced the young master Paello’s body.

Red blood splattered over my body.

“Cough….”

Moist blood splattered from the lips of the young master Paello.

I lost strength in the Young master grip holding me. A heavy man’s body slid over me.

I accepted Paello, who fell into my arms without saying or doing anything.

A person died right before my eyes.

My brain went blank. The sound of the heel of a shoe hitting the ground reverberated through my ears.

Richard recklessly lifted Paello’s corpse and removed it from my body.

“Are you okay?”

“……”

“Hey, you seem to be very shocked.”

He looked down at me like he was pitying me.

A man’s cold fingers brushed my cheek.

My skin was startled by the distinctly different temperature, and my body shrank by itself.

“Now you have killed someone…”

“I didn’t kill a person.”

“Murderer.”

“I just did my job.”

A job?

Entering someone’s mansion and killing someone?

“You see me as a rude person. If you knew who the dead man is now, you wouldn’t be able to say that.”

There was no question of who the man was.

But Richard smiled and gave me an answer I didn’t expect.

“He’s a demon worshiper.”

“Demon worshipers?”

“I have caught the demon worshiper who was trying to escape, Miss Camilla.”

It was an unexpected word. But I couldn’t quite understand the situation.

Even if I tried to think, only the situation in which young master Paello suffered was unfolding in my head.

“You have blood on your face.”

Richard looked at me blankly and took out a handkerchief as if he was sorry.

My body was frozen in shock and I couldn’t pick up the handkerchief, so Richard wiped the blood from my cheek by hand.

However, the blood was not easily wiped off, but rather spread on the face.

Richard threw away the handkerchief and wiped the traces of dried blood from my face.

Those blue eyes trembled with strange heat, and Richard lowered his head and kissed my cheek.

At that moment, my mind was blown.

“What are you doing now…”

“Captain!”

Then the Countess grabbed her skirt and hurriedly ran to this place.

She looked carefully at the current situation, but her expression became calm as if she wasn’t surprised by the scattered corpse and the blood-soaked figure of me.

“Young lady, are you okay? You’ve got blood all over your freshly changed clothes. I’ll get you new ones, just wait a moment.”

After that, the servants rushed over and took the body casually.

No one else thought it was strange.

I felt like the only crazy person in the room.

****

“First of all, Young lady seems to be in shock right now, so it would be better to change her room. I have to guide you to the room…”

“I will guide her.”

Countess Millard, who had a perplexed expression on her face, changed her face as if she had heard something unexpected.

But as if he understood, he said, “I’d like to ask for Lady Camilla.

Richard couldn’t help but hug Rosie, who was still sitting on her seat.

I could feel him trembling and I felt like a predator holding a herbivore in his arms

So pitiful.

But somehow a smile appeared on his lips.

Two months ago, when he saw Rosie and the Marquis of Evantes hugging each other, Richard was curious.

Why did she choose Marquis Evantes?

He said he would give her everything.

What is the difference between Marquis and him?

But why did he choose Marquis of Evantes and hug that man with such a pretty smile?

The woman with the same appearance as if covered in Rosie’s skin laughed at Richard’s ugly jealousy.

<I’ll help you get the kid you want, instead….>

The woman offered Richard a deal.

“You help me. You have to come when I ask for help. Stay by my side until I need you.>

<Do you think I will accept such an offer?>

The woman rolled her eyes. It’s like there’s no reason not to.

<After all, you can’t have that child on your own.>

<……>

<She doesn’t like you and you know that. Don’t you?>

The woman casually poured out the answers that Richard didn’t want to hear.

<That kid will never accept your heart.>

Forever.

The woman added cruelly.

Being helpless, Richard could not refute it. Because everything the woman says is true.

Rosie hates him and probably won’t accept him for the rest of her life.

<Who are you?>

Who the hell is this woman to claim to know so much about his relationship with Rosie?

He clenched his teeth and approached the woman. But she stared at him sullenly.

<Don’t you need my help?>

<I don’t need it.>

<You might think so now. But you will change your mind later.>

The woman smiled meaningfully, raised her hand and touched my chest.

It was an exaggerated gesture like a play.

<Because I’m going to take her place. Without leaving a single point.>

<…….>

<What will happen to that child who has nowhere to go, then?>

The woman laughed out loud this time, as if she was very happy just imagining the scene.

If anyone had seen it, it was a laugh that would have made them feel creepy, like a villain laughing.

<Tell me if you change your mind.>

<……>

<See you next time.>

The woman left only those words and disappeared.

It was a pretty fascinating offer, but I wasn’t drawn to it. No matter how crazy I was, I wasn’t foolish enough to grab the reluctant hand of an unknown woman.

After that, Richard followed Rosie’s whereabouts.

He could hear the news.

The Marquis of Evantes had taken a blonde mistress. Strangely, Rosie, who had left with him, had vanished.

Like a heated liquid evaporating and dispersing into smoke.

But somehow, it occurred to Richard that the mistress might be Rosie.

So I went to search for her…

I found a blonde woman walking out of the cafe with the Marquis Evantes.

Her golden hair fluttered in the breeze like golden petals blooming in the meadow.

The wind blew.

A large crowd passed by in front of his eyes, but only her golden hair stuck in his mind.

<Rosie.>

He called out the woman’s name as if possessed. His voice was full of enthusiasm and anticipation.

Don’t forget me.

Remember me

Think of me…

Look at me

The woman turned around, startled whether she had heard his voice or felt the wind suppressed.

Blue eyes flutter as if looking for me in the crowd.

He looked away as he saw those eyes.

I thought then.

I’d rather not look back.

The moment I saw her, I was convinced that I would never let go of her for the rest of my life.

Just like that.

Richard held the woman in his arms who couldn’t even think of tidying up the messy hair.

The Countess organized the situation and made room for a surprised Rosie.

He said he was worried about Rosie and followed her into the room naturally.

He sat her down on the couch and brazenly took a seat right next to her, but she was still in shock, staring blankly into space.

She seemed to have fallen into thought.

He hugged Rosie and grabbed her hand and pulled it to his lips.

She didn’t react as I kissed her between the fingers.

“You should see me.”

“…….”

“Rosie.”

At that moment, as if she had come to her senses, the woman’s blue eyes lit up.

Rosie looked up and looked at him.

“How…”

Her red lips twitched, as if she didn’t know how.

I felt the urge to kiss her because it was lovely, but I resisted it. Instead, I buried my lips deep in her fingers.

I wanted to enjoy this moment for a long time.

But at that moment.

“Marquis! Please calm down…!”

There was a commotion outside and the door was opened.

The angry Marquis Evantes looked this way.

Argen’s forehead wrinkled when he saw Rosie hugged by the paladin commander in a blood-stained dress.

He looked at Richard.

He looked at Richard burying his lips in her fingers, and opened his mouth as if giggling.

“Ha. You must be crazy.”
