The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me

Chapter 165 “Me?” Richard’s eyes widened in surprise. Now that I had someone to listen to, I recounted the details of a dream I didn’t even want to think about. In the dream, Richard was being held down by knights and forced to his knees.He looked at me fiercely and said… <Did you say your name is Rosie?> He whispered, as if to tell me to brace myself.Ugh, he didn’t look like the gentle Richard I knew, and Rosie? I’m Rose, why Rosie? “It’s such a strange dream, isn’t it?” But, strangely, Richard’s expression hardened. “Richard?” “… Oh, what a strange dream.” “Right?” “… Yes. Don’t remember dreams like that, you don’t need to remember them.”“Right.”Richard smiled, as if relieved to hear my answer. I couldn’t take my eyes off that look. Somehow it feels weird. I think something comes to mind… “Move! Get out of here!” Just then, I heard a loud shout and snapped out of my reverie.A big carriage was coming into the cramped street.People rushed to the side, afraid of being trampled to death by the horses. As I was about to avoid it, I happened to see a man in the carriage. Blonde man. My gaze was automatically fixed on him. Have I seen him before? Why does he feel familiar… “Wife.” Before anything became clear, Richard pulled me in. “Come on, take a seat. It seems like I bought everything here.” It was a voice that somehow felt urgent. I nodded and tried to follow him. If only the carriage that had been navigating through the narrow streets had not suddenly stopped. I turned to see what was going on, and the blond man in the carriage got out. ‘Huh?’ I made eye contact with the man. “Wife.” That’s when Richard pulled me to him.  *** Anri Ascent. The Savior’s right-hand. Richard had already heard that he had come down to the Ruad estate. But he did not know that he would meet in this way. A sense of disappointment came over him. Richard hurriedly grabbed Rose’s hand and pulled her away. Anri Ascent knew the savior’s face, so he couldn’t let them face each other like this. Richard thinks the best thing he can do right now is to take Rose and leave the town. But. <I like this village and the hut we live in.> <I don’t think there will ever be a better place than this hut for the rest of my life.> Rose has attached a bond here. He worked hard to decorate the hut with her, and eventually even Richard had his heart set on this poor place. <You love your wife a lot, don’t you?> I suddenly remembered the words of the herbalists I met a while ago. The woman who handed Rose herbs for her injured leg said he was a caring husband. Richard pondered what they had said. When I see Rose, I get a strange feeling, and it’s undeniable that he’s acting like an idiot. Then he… “Richard….” As Rose called to him in a pathetic voice, he reflexively tightened his grip on her hand. He could never let go of this hand.Never… “Richard, it’s too fast, wait….” The difficult voice that dug into his ear made Richard tremble. He later realized his mistake and was horrified. Rose had hurt her leg… “I’m sorry.” He hastily knelt down and examined her ankle, wondering if she had a second injury. The white legs exposed between the skirts caught his gaze. It was like someone was breathing desire into him. Richard bit his lip to stifle his desire and examined her bandaged leg. “Your legs are fine, so get up.” Rose casually pulled the ankle from his grasp. I felt a sense of disappointment as the soft touch of my fingertips passed away. Richard clenched his fist a few times as if to catch his lust. “More than that, Richard, what’s wrong?” Rose seemed to think it was strange that he dragged her out as soon as he saw the carriage. “… Nothing.” He gave her a wry smile, but she had already seen the uneasiness in his expression. “You think I’m going to be like, ‘Oh, okay’ Be honest, what’s going on?” If I told you the truth, you’d leave me. You would be creeped out and disgusted.Richards is well aware of the bizarreness of what he’s done, but he can’t give up on her now. “Come to think of it, I think I’ve seen that carriage… seal somewhere. I’m pretty sure it belongs to the Ascents, right? A family that specializes in usury!” There was no point in lying here. Richard nodded obediently. Then Rose stiffened in shock. “Did you also borrow money from the Ascents? Is that why you did it?” “….….” Rose also had a serious face, as if she had misunderstood again. It was adorable to see her completely at a loss. He wondered if he was completely insane for only seeing Rose in this situation. “Is that so? Are you sure the Ascent family….” “……” “Oh my God, I heard that the Ascents are so relentless that they bury people alive who don’t pay their debts…!” Rose’s face instantly flushed with fear. He hurriedly embraced her, fearing that he would get divorced if she did this. “It’s not like that. I never borrowed money from Ascent family.” “… Really?” Does it mean that in her eyes he sees himself as a person with such a bad credibility? I felt a little resentful, since I was flush with money. “Then why did you avoid it so much?” “… The Ascents don’t have a very good reputation. I just avoided them because I didn’t want to run into trouble with a nobleman.” “… Really?” “My wife is so pretty, but I’m so worried about what will happen if the Ascent family doesn’t leave her alone.” “What’s that?” Rose smiled absurdly and hugged Richard tightly. He pressed his lips firmly against her forehead. May she never slip from my grasp like she did now. *** Am I wrong? It was definitely that woman. “That carriage belongs to the Ascent family, right?” Anri shrugged off the chatter and climbed back into the carriage. As the carriage was running, Anri smelled a familiar scent. It was similar to the scent of the Savior.He jumped to his feet. When he stepped out of the carriage, he thought he saw the figure, but it quickly disappeared into the crowd, leaving him with no way to identify it. ‘Is it an illusion?’ Anri tilted his head and got back on the carriage. Long ago he saw the savior no, Rosie, in the mansion of the Marquis Evantes. When I saw Rosie for the first time, I knew she was the ‘special being’ that demon worshipers had been so looking for. However, after seeing Emily following that woman, Anri did not touch Rosie. If I touched that woman, Emily would resent him for the rest of her life. He even went so far as to warn her that the mansion would be invaded by devil worshippers on that particular day. I thought that was very kind of her, and made her feel special. Of course, I let Rosie go, thinking I’d see her again someday. I didn’t expect it to be two years later, and in an unexpected way, but they did. <Anri! I met Rosie!> <What?> <Oh my gosh! What should I do?> ‘This is how we meet again?’ At first, I was stunned.What kind of coincidence is this? Anri didn’t believe in coincidences. He thought maybe it was a deliberate approach, and his prediction was not wrong. <Anri, would you like to do business with me?> How long had it been since that woman who had been moaning from the boiling heat had woken up? She offered Anri a deal, which he gladly accepted. And so he rose to a position he’d never experienced in his life, now a member of a family that empowers the Savior While Anri was thinking, the carriage had arrived at Ruad Castle. As he got off the carriage, a handsome man and a maid dressed in maid clothes approached. “Master Anri, I have finished what you have asked me to do.” “Really? Great job.” The maid, whose name was dwindled at the trivial praise, became a proud face. Anri looked at the man with an external smile. “I prepared as you said.” He responded quickly as if he understood Anri’s gaze. The savior wanted this land to be a ‘sacrifice’. Anri came down to the Ruad estate to make the savior’s wish come true. *** Richard is obviously hiding something from me. I had this thought for a long time, but after seeing the Ascent family’s carriage, my suspicions grew stronger. There was definitely something, but there was no way to find out because the person in question did not intend to speak. ‘I don’t like husbands who keep secrets.’ Who doesn’t know what to hide? I decided not to tell Richard that I work in the castle. At first, I tried to hide it because I was afraid that Richard would ask me to quit my job, but then it turned into a small grudge against him for keeping secrets from me. Time passed quickly, and I was already looking forward to my first day at Ruad Castle. “Your name is Rose?” “Yes.”The castle’s maid took one look at me and soon told me what I would be doing at the castle. “Let’s see where we’re short-staffed… Where Lord Anri is staying, the staffing is minimal, so you can go in there.”
