Chapter 182
Chapter 182 “You need Argen’s permission?” Anri nodded. “Where is that place you need permission?” “It’s a cursed land. Strangely enough, I couldn’t find any trace of her before that.” The cursed land was where Rosie had appeared?I remembered Richard’s words. The cursed land is also where he met Sion. The overlap of their paths strengthened my conviction.There must be something there. “Until a while ago, other lords had the right to pass through the cursed land, but now it is different. The Marquis of Evantes has that authority.” I wonder how Argen came to have authority over the land.Well, when I was a maid at Evantes, the medicines she gave Richard were all from the Cursed Land.Perhaps he had long coveted the cursed land. “We don’t want to get caught by the Marquis of Evantes, do we?”Anri seemed to sense my anxiety. “Perhaps I can help you get to the Cursed Land safely, without being seen by the Marquis of Evantes.” “You can?” “If you’re willing to pay the price, of course.” Anri’s eyes twinkled. “What do you want.” “I want you to meet Emily.” “…….” “I don’t care if you are real or not. Whatever it is, keep Emily away from the Savior.” The price Anri demanded was somewhat expected.The whole time we talked, I wasn’t sure.Was he sincere, or was he setting me up?But the answer was clear. “Okay. I’ll meet with Emily.” I wanted to know and I needed to know. What kind of relationship do these two have with my mother? What was Shi-eon really thinking?Even if Anri had dug a trap for me, I had to be willing to walk into it.If I didn’t, I would never have the chance to see the truth. ***** “Yurtha, I have a favor to ask of you.” Rose whispered into Yurtha’s ear with a soft voice. His body was warm as she wrapped her arms around his neck, and her sweet scent dominated his brain as he buried his head. “You’ll listen, won’t you?” “Of course.” How dare he refuse her request. “There are those who oppose my will. They want to bring me down.” “How dare… who they are.” Rose was a savior.The world praises her and considers her a miracle. However, there were people with different opinions everywhere. They denied Rose’s existence and tried to harm her. “Don’t be angry. They’re a nuisance, but a nuisance nonetheless.” The woman’s voice was soft as she spoke. Yurtha pulled her into a protective hug.My fragile sister.The one I must protect….But where is she? I’m supposed to protect her, but this woman in front of me… My head throbbed again. My fingertips trembled like withdrawal.My head was once again fuzzy. “You go and get rid of it. Do it quietly, without making a sound. Can you do it?” So that the name of the savior does not have a stigma. Behind the scenes, quietly.That was Yurtha’s role. “It’ll be hard to come back right after the slaughter. There’s a mansion in the area that I bought from the Ascents. You can rest there, Yurtha.” “…….” “Right now, Emily is the only one there, but Anri, who was in Ruad, will also stop by.” There was no need for rest. Because Yurtha wants to be by Rose’s side as soon as possible. However, he could not refuse her invitation. There is something else Rose wants. With that excuse, not ‘exterminating’, she’s probably asking him to check the Ascent family for anything suspicious. Or maybe she doesn’t want to keep him around and wants to send him far away. “Don’t throw me away.” In the end, all he could do was beg. He knelt down and repeated the same words under her feet. Begging like a dog would make Rose feel better. “Why would I throw you away when you’re so useful?” She would throw him away when he’s no longer useful, which is why Yurtha was desperate. “Even though you killed my mom.” “……!” As if a leash had been pulled up, Yurtha raised his head with difficulty. “Sister, I….” Suddenly, Rose’s eyes turned cold. “More than that, Yurtha, it’s time for your medicine.” “……” Rose left him alone and reached for the vial on the table.With a gentle touch, she pressed his chin and opened his mouth. He quietly closed his eyes. The moment he takes the medicine, she It was the only time she was gentle with him.Just like when he was very young, when she was sweet to him. For a moment, he felt like he was back in those days.But soon his mind was foggy again. ***** I felt strange.Seeing someone I never expected to see again like this. “Rosie, did you come with Anri?” After temporarily holding hands with Anri, I didn’t delay.I had planned to be alone with him, but something bothered me on the way. <Where are you going without me, Rose?> Richard didn’t leave my side to the point that I felt like I had a tail. It was getting more tiring to tell him not to follow me now. So I decided to leave him alone.So far, he’s been helpful, he’s never been a hindrance.You never know, maybe he could use the power of the Paladin’s Commander if I was in trouble. ‘Because Anri might have dug a trap.’ It wasn’t bad for me to be accompanied by Richard. However, in the corner of my heart, there was a feeling of discomfort as to whether this was okay. However, there was a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I shouldn’t be doing this. <There’s no good in following me>So I warned him. <I’m going to take advantage of everything I can, and I might take advantage of you.>Even after I told him to go back. <You know what? It turns me on to hear you say that.> He sounds like a crazy human being. Yeah. Do whatever you want.He’ll get tired of it later and leave me alone. “By the way, Rosie, aren’t you busy? How did you and Anri end up here together?” Rosie, I haven’t heard that name in a while. Besides, the owner of the name was different, so it was uncomfortable to hear. “Still, I’m so happy!” Emily jumped up and grabbed my hand, and for a moment, I almost swatted her away. Not because I didn’t want to, but because I almost did, out of embarrassment.I didn’t hesitate to pull my hand out of her grasp. A puzzled look crossed Emily’s face, and Anri quickly stepped forward. “The savior is a little tired from traveling so far, Emily.” “Oh… Rosie is fragile, indeed.”Emily nodded in understanding. At that moment, Anri stepped on my foot without pain. It means to act straight. It was a sign to behave.Honestly, I was here to convince Emily, but there wasn’t much I could do. <Stay by her side, listen to her, and play with her> That was Anri’s plan I wondered if this would be enough to convince her that I was really Rose.But it wasn’t particularly pointed. I wondered if I would prove that I was Rose by making a vague memory, but it seems that Rosie did it first. “But Rosie, who is that man?” Emily seemed to be curious about Richard who was next to me the whole time. With his robe pulled back to hide his face, it was understandable. “We picked him up on the way here because he looked useful.” I wasn’t sure what to say, but Anri answered for me. It wasn’t a very comprehensible answer. “Ah.” Why do you find that comprehensible?I just found the situation hilarious and ridiculous. “Emily, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?” “Rosie, are you hungry?” For now, let’s do what Anri told us to do.I can’t think of anything else, so I’ll do it. “Viscount!” With that, Emily and I headed for the dining room.A servant rushed to our side. “What’s the matter?” Emily frowned, unhappy to be interrupted. “Th-that’s… The young master… Yurtha visited the mansion!”
