I didnât understand why he had been looking for me so terribly.
Because I couldnât stop Richard from running away?
âRosie⊠â
Argen grabbed my chin while calling out my name languidly.
Contrary to the relaxed sound of his voice, the force in his hands made my jaw hurt.
Argen lifted my head and fixed his gaze. He made me look at him.
âRosie.â
Why do you keep calling?
âYou have to answer me, Rosie.â
â⊠Yes, Marquis.â
Crazy guy
âYou are a good girl, Rosie.â
â âŠâŠâ
âI was nice three years ago, but you hit me in the back of the head and ran away.â
What nonsense is that?
When did I hit you in the back
Are you saying that running away means you were hit in the back?
It was absurd, but I did not dare to open my mouth to defend myself.
Itâs because I know Argenâs crazy nature very well.
He doesnât like people who open their mouths he considers inferior.
âBut you got caught by me, so you better never dream of running away again.â
Crazy guy.
*****
What will happen next?
Captured as a criminal, I was taken straight to Argenâs room.
With my knees tied, I had to look up at Argen, who was sitting comfortably on the sofa.
I didnât like the way he looked at me with boredom.
Of course, I couldnât show it on my face. Because life is precious
âSince weâre left with each other, I thought weâd like to have a serious conversation.â
ââŠâŠ.â
âI think it would be better to ask the name first.â
No, why did you ask for a name out of the blue? I managed to put up with the wrinkled expression on my face.
âRosie, Shabrina. Both are fake identities. What is your real identity?â
Was Rosie a fake identity?
I didnât know that, but after thinking about it, it wasnât strange that Rose, who ran away from Herthas, created a fake identity.
âArenât you going to tell me?â
âItâs not even that great. Itâs not even worth asking for Marquis.â
Argen narrowed his brow as if he didnât like my answer.
âI think you misunderstood somethingâŠ.â
He grabbed my chin and lifted it up.
âRosie, you donât have to think. Just answer my questions and thatâs it.â
ââŠâŠâ
âShall I ask again? Whatâs your real name?â
I got caught by a pretty annoying guy.
âMy real name is Rosie.â
He had disbelieving eyes.
What do you want me to do?
âThen why did you lie about your identity? What was your purpose as a marquisist?â
â⊠It is more accurate to say that I got a job as a marquisist in order to make a living while changing my identity, rather than deceiving my identity and entering a marquis with a purpose.â
What great purpose did Rose have?
Argenâs eyes were still undesirable for an answer.
âHow did you know about my curse?â
ââŠâŠ.â
Because I read it in a novel.
âI know what you said to me before was a lie. Iâve researched the area youâre talking about, and thereâs no one under this curse.â
What is Argen talking about now?
To remember what he was trying to say, I had to go back to three years ago.
<Applying it whenever seizures occur seems to be effective in alleviating seizures. It was the one who had this emblem in my hometown.>
<Iâm from the edge of the Empire.>
Ah. Come to think of it, there was a time when I lied to deceive Argen.
Did you even do a background check to find out about the curse?
Considering Argenâs suspicious personality, it was a job that could be done enough.
I was going to run away anyway, so I called the faraway place where the investigation would take the longest.
Wait, no wayâŠ
Was the reason he chased me for three years, not because Richard ran away, but because of the curse?
â⊠Itâs not a lie. I saw it when I was young. Itâs just that the area wasnât true.â
âThen where did you see it?â
â⊠I donât remember.â
âWhat?â
âActually, I had an accident, so I donât remember.â
Argen made an embarrassed face.
Yeah, I didnât think youâd believe it.
But Argen continues to inquire into me in detail.
And actually I canât really give him an answer.
Either I donât know, or I just saw it in the original.
âI hate lies, Rosie.â
âIt was a very short time, but seeing the Marquis up close, I donât know how.â
âThen why are you lying like this?â
â⊠Iâm not lying.â
Argen looked at my face.
Soon he smiled.
âWhy are you smiling all of a sudden?â
That smile was ominous.
Unsurprisingly, he started unbuttoning in front of me.
Why are you taking off your clothes all of a sudden?
Are you crazy?
Soon the hem of the fabric fell to the floor, revealing a beautiful, muscular body.
Should I turn my headâŠ
Thinking about embarrassment, Argen got up from the sofa.
I instinctively wanted to take a step back, but I couldnât back down because my body was tied up.
Looking at him with anxious eyes, Argen picked up a sword.
â⊠Marquis?â
âStay still.â
What are you going to doâŠ
Are you trying to kill me just because I didnât know?
âArâŠ.â
I was going to call him with an urgent voice late, but Argen cut the rope that was tying me up.
What are you doing?
âFollow me.â
Argen moved onto the bed.
He picked up a box from the bedside and handed it to me.
âWhat is this?â
âOpen it.â
As he said, when I opened the box, I could smell a terrible medicinal herb.
âItâs the herb you gave me three years ago.â
â⊠Why this?â
âPut it on, Rosie.â
What are you thinking?
Embarrassed, I almost wrinkled my face for a moment.
I really donât understand anything, but I have to please Argen, so Iâll have to do it now.
I quietly climbed onto Argenâs bed.
As he instructed, I applied herbs to the place where the pattern was engraved, just like three years ago.
âI donât think it was this big back then.â
The curse pattern seems to have gotten darker and bigger than it was 3 years ago.
Looking at the emblem reminded me of Dylan.
â⊠I put it on.â
After doing what Argen told me, he let go of me.
He looked at me with unknown eyes and opened his mouth.
âRosie, I have a suggestion for youâŠ.â
*****
In the past and now, Roseâs side was full of bugs.
Yurtha didnât like it.
So I tried to kill that damn paladin or my brother right there.
It was all annoying.
If it hadnât been for Evantes and the Knights of the North to come into the forest, the fight would have gone to the point where anyone died.
Yurtha ran his fingers through the long scar on his face.
The eyes that remembered the knife Dylan was wielding went cold.
âCome on, letâs go get my sisterâŠ.â
Iâll kill those damn bastards later.
The most important thing is to bring Rose with you.
âSir Yurtha! Thereâs a problem!â
Then the knight hurried to Yurtha.
âWhatâs going on?â
âMiss Rose has been taken away by the Marquis of Evantes!â
âWhat?â
Damn itâŠ
The situation is very twisted.
Poor Rose. To be caught by such a madman. She must be trembling in fear by now.
Yurtha hurriedly went to the northern castle despite the oppression of the knights.
There is Rose.
âPrince Herthas, where are you going?â
The Earl of the Northern Castle had eyes in surprise when he saw Yurtha with a fierce aura.
Yurtha was thoroughly admitted as a guest from the north.
That way, itâll be easier to save Rose in case something happens.
âDid anything urgent happen?â
âItâs something the Count doesnât have to worry about. It was not a big deal.â
One hour was urgent now.
Yurtha answered the Count dryly and hurriedly went into the castle to find Rose.
Where is RoseâŠ!
As I was running quickly, a scent that seemed to paralyze my brain passed the tip of my nose.
RoseâŠ!
Yurtha ran in the direction of the scent.
Rose was sitting on the wall with her pink hair brushed down.
Why is Rose over there?
I heard that you were taken away by Marquis EvantesâŠ
â⊠Sister.â
Rose turned to him.
Pink hair fluttered in the wind.
The snow still fell nonstop. Her bright pink hair fluttering in the harsh wind and snow is beautiful.
âYurtha.â
Rose rolled her eyes as she called out his name.
My sister smiled at me.
A beautiful smile that seemed to have blinded him from that fact made Yurthaâs heart flutter.
âWhy are you sitting like that? Itâs dangerous, Sister.â
âYurtha.â
âYes.â
As if she had no intention of coming down, she sat on the wall and called for him.
Yurtha listened as if he was ready to listen.
She smiled brighter than ever.
âIâm engaged.â
ââŠâŠ.â
âWith Marquis Evantes.â
Rose smiled brightly as if she was very happy.
Yurthaâs insides were darkened and stained.
