CH 103

Chapter 103

“You’re up.”

… Richard.

I bit the flesh in my mouth and looked at him.

“What are you going to do with me now?”

“I’m going to feed you.”

In response, Richard pulled the trolley in.

The mouth-watering smell of the room vibrated in an instant.

“You used to bring me meals.”

“It was a terrible time.”

“Is that so? I enjoyed that time.”

Well, you must have wanted to see me take this situation horribly.

“Well. I’m just saying this just in case, so don’t try to resist that you won’t eat it. Then I’ll force you to eat it…”

“Why do I skip meals?”

Rather, I was going to make a riot if you didn’t give me food.

If it was Argen, not me, who was imprisoned, I would have said I wouldn’t eat it with such an arrogant personality, but I’m different.

Who are you starving for? If you eat rice, you will gain strength and escape.

And in a normal novel, Top is sad when the incarcerated bottom is starving, but I don’t think Richard would do that to me.

‘But didn’t you just say that you’re going to force me? Well, I guess that’s just what he’s saying.’

Richard had a characteristic pretty smile.

“That’s fortunate.”

He put a small table over my bed and put food on it.

I was going to try the side dishes but… The food was too good for that.

‘It must not have been that Richard himself cooked it anyway.’

To criticize this kind of food is apologetic to the person who made it.

So I ended up having a delicious meal. There’s nothing left behind.

“You eat well.”

“… what’s wrong with you?”

Richard, who confirmed that I had finished my meal, and left the room shortly after. It didn’t matter what he said.

I laid myself down on the bed.

When I just ate, I feel drowsy. I think I just woke up from a good night’s sleep.

My eyelids were heavy, so I managed to come to my senses just before I closed my eyes.

‘I’m in custody now.’

It’s not a good time

The situation is so luxurious that I almost forgot it for a moment.

It’s not a time like this. I need to escape quickly.

I checked to see if there was anything in the room to help me escape.

The vase on the shelf looked pretty expensive… It’s not that. Let’s get a grip.

As I wandered around the room, I noticed that there was another door besides the one Richard had entered.

What is this door?

I opened the door expecting it to be the exit door, but it was the bathroom.

For a moment, it became futile.

‘For a moment….’

One way came to mind.

* * *

Three years ago, on the day he was dying in the cursed land, Richard lost it.

<Don’t you want to live?>

The savior who appeared before him as he was dying whispered like a devil.

Richard has lived just because he is alive.

Anyway, his life will be lost as a child

it would be obvious If ‘mother’ hadn’t saved him.

So he existed.

Without any excitement.

He had never had such a strong survival instinct.

She is the maid with pink hair that shines like a fantasy in front of his eyes. He crawled the rotten ground with the thought that he would see her again.

<What can I give you?>

Whatever it is..

What would you be afraid of when your life is fading away?

The savior smiled brightly as if he liked Richard like that.

<Scent.>

Scent?

<The scent that you smelled of. I want to smell her scent, too.>

Does the Savior know anything about Rosie?

And the scent, how the hell can you give it to me?

<I can give it to you.>

But the savior acted as if he could have that much.

So he gave it to him.

The scent that fascinated him and paralyzed his thoughts.

Maybe Richard thought that when he met the maid again, he might go crazy with the scent.

In case I repeat the stupid thing again… 

It might be better to live with the pain.

It’s a pain I’ve been carrying all my life.

<I will accept the transaction.>

I will never be deceived by the scent again.

So I was willing to trade… 

While crossing the northern mountains, curiosity did not leave Richard’s mind.

He can no longer feel the fragrance and pleasure that had dazzled him.

But why is he still attracted to her?

The little warmth in her arms was very warm.

As if all he ever longed for was the warmth of being here.

Rosie, who fell asleep without knowing the world, exuded a faint body odor.

Three years ago, he had a body that he couldn’t feel because of her intense scent.

‘I couldn’t smell the scent at all.’

Are you now fascinated by body scents?

Somehow, I thought that I might be fascinated by her scent for the rest of my life.

Even though I can’t smell her scent anymore, she looked lovely in my arms like this.

She is the woman who betrayed him.

He didn’t know it 3 years ago, but now I know.

From the beginning, Rosie had no intention of running away with him. After she tricked him, she planned to run away alone.

She deceived him from beginning to end.

Nevertheless.

The way she sleeps or the way she munching the food in her mouth is overly adorable.

I was worried about what to do if she said she wouldn’t eat.

It was fortunate that Rosie enjoyed the food.

Richard used to cook from an early age.

Maybe it’s because his mother enjoyed the meal he made for her. He continued to cook, which he did not like very much.

As a result, his cooking skills gradually improved.

After he grew up, he couldn’t trust anyone, so he tended to cook the food himself.

Considering his status, it was surprising.

Richard looked out the window at the scenery.

A few hours ago, knights were walking around this place noisily. To find Rosie.

He moved the lodge to his castle, which he had near the north.

Rosie and him are the only two in this castle.

That fact was very satisfying.

He turned his eyes away from the window and headed to Rosie’s room.

“Rosie.”

Of course I thought she would be in bed, but she wasn’t.

I looked and saw that the bathroom door was open.

Hot steam pours out with a gurgling sound.

‘Are you washing?.’

His face turned a little red.

Why do you open the door… 

As I turned around, a fishy scent passed through the tip of his nose.

It was a faint scent, but he could sense that it was the smell of blood.

Richard rushed into the bathroom.

In the bathroom…

There was a broken vase and Rosie collapsed, fainting from the reddish bath water.

The smell of blood hitting Hook’s mind made his mind dizzy.

The feeling he had been reminded of until he entered the room had vanished and he seemed to have been thrown into the abyss.

While staring blankly at the bathtub, Richard raised Rosie from the bathtub with trembling hands.

Her white clothes turned red, whether she changed to the white neglis he brought her.

“… Rosie.”

Where the hell is this blood coming from?

Richard hastily hugged Rosie. Then her wrist fell to the side.

Blood ran over the wound on her wrist.

He released his mind and looked at her wrists, then grabbed Rosie and carried her onto the bed.

“Rosie, calm down.”

“……”

“Rosie.”

She couldn’t answer.

Maybe dead?

He clasped his trembling hands and put his palms on her neck.

Fortunately, the pulse is breathing.

‘I have to treat her right now.’

He left the room and found the first aid kit he had kept.

When he hurriedly came to the room with a first aid kit…

“Hah.”

There was nobody in the room.

It must have been placed neatly on the bed.

Upon closer inspection, Rosie seemed to have gotten out of bed, and water had dripped around it.

The expression on Richard’s face was completely erased.

“Were you trying to play tagging?”

He muttered to himself and gave a creepy smile.

“You started first, so I can decide the punishment I want, right?”

* * *

I ran and ran for a while.

I was running frantically in the dark hallway, and then I stumbled and fell.

“Hah hah…”

I was out of breath because my stamina had already reached the limit.

‘It hurts so bad…’

It hurt more on the inside of her thigh than on her wrist.

The blood that spreads in the bathtub must have all come from the wrist.

And she didn’t cut her wrist too deep for fear of any danger.

I patted the inside of my thigh.

I touched it in a bitter pain, but when I removed the hand, the palm of my hand was splattered with blood.

When I stabbed my thigh, I was surprised to see more blood gushing out than I expected.

I limped and got up again.

I must run away quickly.

‘Where is the exit?’

Was there a castle this wide in the north?

I had to wander for a while.

As I was running down the dark hallway, I saw a bright light in the distance.

The exit…!

I smiled brightly and ran towards the exit. Now I can go out!

But at the exit there was a dark man standing in the back light.

“I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

It was a nice voice to listen to, but it was cold.

My heart beats violently.

“You are late, Rosie”
