CH 95

I decided to rest for a while as I lay comfortably in my room for a while. As a bonus, I was also applying ointment to my lips.

“Dwid I waise him like twhat?” (Did I raise him like that?)

I muttered while barely opening my lips.

Apparently, Lucian was a kiss addict. Of course, I didn’t know how many times in a day, let alone kissing me without skipping a day.

Why the hell is he doing this?

I felt like my heart would burst whenever he approached me with such a bold and sensual appearance. No matter how friendly we became, did the yandere class never disappear?

“Kuuh.”

Apparently, Lucian was a real yandere. Wasn’t his eyes really crazy when kissing…?

He never closed his eyes when kissing, always kissing me while looking at me with sincere eyes. As he approached to kiss me, he also came closer slowly, obsessively gazing at me. It was alluring and sensual but, at times, felt overbearing.

Every time I faced the breathtaking atmosphere of being eaten alive, I couldn’t breathe properly and was left with no choice but to stick my lips out.

Every time his large hand clasped my arm, it felt like I was being shackled.

I was horrified to see the behavior that wasn’t much different from the Lucian I saw in the original story, although the guy I knew was clearly different from the original novel. However, his persistent appearance, which I often saw, was also in the original story.

“Hmm…”

As I put a lot of ointment on my lips, it felt quite frustrating. When I moved my lips, I suddenly heard Cassandra’s voice.

I didn’t even call her.

— Aren’t you going to keep the promise you made with me?

It was a voice so loud that it rang in my head. I answered by grabbing my temples.

— You said you were looking for Count Erland.

— If you want to look for it, you’ll know everything right away. How the heck can you look for him while playing in the mansion every day?

Uh, this aunt yells at me all the time…

Cassandra was starting to get on my nerves. Starting with what she had threatened me before, I protested with her, who was of no help whatsoever.

— To be honest, I didn’t promise. I said that I would look into it for the sake of the previous Count couple. I didn’t make a promise to you.

— The hell…!

—Who is doing whatever they want?

I shouted ‘piss off’ into my head to block her. Whenever I gathered my mind, she had to disappear regardless of her own will. However, today was a little different.

— Kuk, kkuk.

I was taken aback by the unpleasant laugh.

Uh, why didn’t she disappear…?

— I know. You should listen when I’m still nice, but I also have nothing to regret.

Goosebumps swelled all over my body at her whisper that was right next to my ear. Since I was lying on the sofa, I couldn’t even get up even if I wanted to, so I just froze. Even though this was my body, I couldn’t control it the way I wanted it to.

Before I could figure out what the hell was going on, I screamed as I felt a burning sensation all over my body.

But, the only sound that came out of my lips was a groan.

…What the hell is this feeling?

What was she doing to me?

Cassandra whispered as I struggled desperately with the creepy feeling of my body being tied to something in a voice filled with ridicule that could not be hidden.

— How long did you think it would be up to you?

— You, you… What is this!

— Kuku, there’s nothing to be sad about, isn’t it? It wasn’t even your body anyway.

— ….

I couldn’t respond to her words because it wasn’t wrong…

I was also a possessor. I occupied a body that was not even my own in the absence of the original owner. I didn’t know what happened to the original Rachel. In fact, I never had feelings of regret or concern for her.

In the original story, she was nothing but a villain, and she wasn’t helpful to Lucian, so I used to think, ‘Isn’t it better that I’m there?’

Nonetheless, I never thought that I would lose it to Cassandra…

I have never had any problems so far, why suddenly? Was it a problem when her powers tried to consume mine before…?

I was alone in the room.

It was because I wanted Amber to be comfortable as well, so I dismissed her. Because of that, I couldn’t ask anyone for help. In a situation where I could not even scream, I tried to wake up by shaking my head, which was becoming hazy as I struggled alone.

— Kekekek. It is finally in my hands! This was supposed to be my body! If only you hadn’t intervened…

There was something strange about Cassandra’s excited mumble.

— Nothing can stop our great plan.

Thump, thump, thump.

My heart was beating rapidly. However, the sound of the beating gradually faded away. Not only that, I was clearly opening my eyes, but it felt like my eyes were closing.

— Finally! I have…

Bang—!

Then, in the distance, there was a noise as if the door was being opened violently. And….

“Master!”

“Master!”

— Hng, even if you guys came…

Cassandra shed a sneer and tried to continue, but she couldn’t.

“Huoh!”

The next moment, it felt like something was going into my body and exploding. I shuddered at the sensation of my soul getting pulled away as it was flowing somewhere. It was a strange feeling.

A scream was heard as the indescribable sensation disappeared.

— KYAAAKK! What’s this!

Then, a large hand touched my stomach, and hot energy interposed like a wave and seemed to surround me.

“Wake up, Master!”

“Master, please!”

I thought I could hear Oscar’s voice, whom I had not seen in a long time. At the same time, another large hand pressed my stomach tightly and Cassandra screamed again. In a voice full of screams, she cried out.

— These, these lowly things! Kyaaahh…!

While Oscar and Damien’s voices could be heard through the screams, I was still unable to answer. It felt like a typhoon had hit my body. Cold sweat flowed from the dangerous feeling of being caught up.

Oh, I could feel the sweat.

As soon as I felt sweaty, I was relieved. I took a deep breath as I felt the sensations return to my body. It felt like being rescued from drowning in the water.

I took a deep breath and tried to get up.

It was because I wanted to check whether I can move my body or not.

“You cannot get up yet, Master.”

Damien laid me back with a courteous hand. Next to him, Oscar gazed down at me with tears in his eyes.

“Master, are you okay?”

Although I wanted to comfort the crying Oscar, my hands were shaking and I couldn’t lift them. However, it wasn’t just my hands. My whole body was trembling like a tree. My teeth were clenched, but I struggled to raise the corners of my mouth.

I wanted to reassure them.

“It’s…okay.”

“Master…”

“…Can’t we kill it?”

Then, Oscar spoke to Damien in a gloomy voice.

Instead of answering that, he slowly scanned my body. He must be examining the magic of two colors within me.

But, was there any way to kill Cassandra, who was already dead and had become a spirit…? I was skeptical of Oscar’s words. Why did they wander around without attaining enlightenment even though they were dead?

After Cassandra came, it was a question I had never had.

To me, this place was in a webtoon, so I thought it was part of the world setting that the artist had devised. I felt like I was being punished for something I didn’t care about.

Even though I lived here, I thought that I could return to Korea at any time. So, because of that, it may have been that I lived by the thought of knowing the future as though I had become a god with only one foot.

And so…

It felt like Cassandra grabbed me by the collar and pulled me into reality. This was where I got possessed… in this place that I thought was only a world in a webtoon…

I was acutely aware that I could die, too.

If I die here, would I really die? And not going back to the original world…?

Then…

I couldn’t go back forever?

Recently, I had a lot of worries because of Lucian, who seemed to be the same as the original story yet different. Though only a sigh leaked out at the thought of adding one more worry to it.

Meanwhile, Oscar and Damien whispered something to each other.

Were the two of them that close?

With a strange feeling and relief, I gazed at them blankly and suddenly met with red eyes. Despite the tears having stopped, the red eyes that were still wet were really beautiful. In the pure white place, the face, which should only have red eyes and lips, came closer to me with redness to the tip of the nose.

“Master, sniff.”

This guy is really cute.

While I was relieved to see a completely different appearance from the original Oscar, I was also worried. I thought that Lucian had changed, but there was still some yandere-ness left, wasn’t it? If so, Oscar may still have the same parts as the original.

What would that be?

Hopefully, he wouldn’t harm Lucian. He probably wouldn’t be going to run away like the original route with something that hadn’t changed.

Noah wouldn’t be here anymore…

…So, it’s going to be okay, right?

Oscar was completely different from the original story, right? Even if he did harm to Lucian, I don’t think Oscar could do anything about it now. Now that I’ve grown attached to him like this, was it just enough to let him run away…?

At my complex thoughts, I barely raised my hand and covered my eyes.

Then, Oscar called me.

“But, Master…”
