Chapter 184
Chapter 184 What the hell did Rosie leave behind? Instead of entering the villa, Emily grumbled and paced where Rosie had left her, thinking to herself. ‘Rosie is weird.’ What was wrong with her today?She’s asking questions she wouldn’t normally ask… <I’m Rose, Emily.> She looked like she was going to cry.Come to think of it, Rosie… No, I guess I should call her Rose now.Rose’s voice was shaking slightly. I couldn’t get the image of that precarious look out of my head. ‘This is all because of Anri.’ He must have said something to Rose. ‘It’s not like I didn’t know when it was coming anyway.’ Celine, Emily’s benefactor, hated Rose. <The child deceived me.> Emily hung on to her benefactor’s every word, her contorted expression, her voice tinged with pain.She remembered it all. <I would have found my daughter sooner if she hadn’t tricked me.> The benefactor blamed the fake for pretending to be her daughter.The fake had deceived her for so long that she lost track of how long she had been gone and where she was. The benefactor was suffering.So Emily hated Rose, whom she had never met. But strangely, as time passed, the benefactor’s reaction changed. She didn’t tell Emily about Rose.But Emily had always observed Celine. I wanted to understand the facial expression the benefactor was making, and the feelings contained in it. So maybe she noticed. That her face, once filled with resentment, had suddenly turned to longing.It was a different emotion than hating. “Ha… What is it?” Rose seemed hurt, but what could I do about it?As I was ruffling my hair, I heard a loud bang in the distance. It was a creepy sensation that made my ears stand up like an animal. I looked up and saw smoke rising in the distance.Something must have happened. ***** “Why is the Fake here?” Yurtha grabbed my arm violently and pulled me closer to Anri’s gaze. “Did you dare betray my sister?” He was genuinely angry. A vicious glare he’d never shown me before tightened my lungs.It seemed he, like Dylan, had mistaken me for a fake. ‘Yurtha. You don’t recognize me?’ I should have been despairing, but a brief surge of joy shot through me. This was the moment I’d been hoping for all my life.But it wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. “Viscount Ascent, why aren’t you answering?” I caught Yurtha as she was about to erupt in volcanic rage at Anri. “Because you’re ridiculous.” I muttered sarcastically, and Yurtha immediately turned away. “I guess Rosie’s got a point.” I found it funny that Yurtha, who was so sure he would never let go of me, was being tricked by Rosie.Well, it’s Yurtha, so what’s the difference?People are always fooled by what they see. “When I see Dylan and you, you both call me Fake.” “…….” “Still, I thought you would be different, but I was wrong.” His red eyes dimmed for a moment. His body twitched, as if he’d just realized something. But before he could make his next move, I reached out. In panic, he quickly grabbed my hand, but to no avail. Yurtha’s body trembled violently as if all strength had been released. “… What did you do?” “You know what I did.”I grabbed Yurtha, who leaned forward. He rolled his eyes, trying to overcome the drowsy feeling. “It’s strange. Why do I have this ability?” “…….” “I feel like I am an ordinary being who is useless to anyone, so why am I special only to the Transcendental?” What am I? I always wondered why I had fallen into an unfamiliar world or why I was a special to the Transcendental. Come to think of it, Shi-eon said a long time ago that I would find out the reason. Yurtha had completely collapsed, so he didn’t say anything. A heavy feeling of weight poured into my arms. “I have to change my plans.” I had taken Emily with me to escape Yurtha, but it seemed pointless. ‘We’d meet him someday.’ “How amazing. To immobilize Yurtha Hertas in an instant.” “…….” “I can see why the Imperial Palace and the demon worshipers were so sought after by the ‘special one’.” Anri, who came down the stairs, said as if curious. “The demon worshipers were looking for the special one?” “Yes. Someone that can stop the Transcendent. They have been looking for such a thing for a long time.” Just when I thought I was doing something very tiring, Yurtha’s body suddenly fell off. It was Richard.He frowned slightly and looked at me. “So how do you change plans, Rose?” “First, tie up Yurtha. Anri, do you have anything to restrain the Transcendent?” “There should be… What are you thinking?” Anri seemed unwilling to move until he heard my story. His expression was smiling, but his face was tense with worries. “It had to happen anyway.” “To subdue your brother?” “You know what I mean. Do you really have no idea?” Weren’t you the ones who gathered to stop Rosie anyway? If so, they would have to cut off Rosie’s powerful limbs.Dylan and Yurtha. “You have to convince me first.” “What if I can’t convince you?” After that, it will be known that Anri betrayed Rosie, and my whereabouts will be revealed as well. It would be poison in more ways than one. “If you think so, Anri, you shouldn’t have let me meet Emily.” “……” “More than that, Rosie says she’s drugging Yurtha. Do you know what it is?” “The Savior?” Anri seemed puzzled that I called the savior Rosie. It was understandable, since he didn’t know the details. “… I don’t know. I’m not sure.” “Emily said she knows.” “What Emily knows doesn’t mean I know everything, but it’s definitely odd that the Savior would be the one to take someone’s medication, especially since the Savior treats this man harshly.” “… Treat him harshly?” “She hated him. It’s not uncommon to throw things when you’re angry. I’ll see what I can find out.” It was an uncomfortable thing to say.But I nodded in understanding. After that, I moved Yurtha to a remote place in the mansion and filled it with restraints. Yurtha had his eyes closed as if he had not yet woken up. His hair cascaded down along his bowed head.I pushed his hair away slightly and saw the scar on his forehead.When did he get this? He said Rosie was rough with him, is that why he has a scar? “What is your relationship with him?” Richard, who was next to me, asked bluntly. “Oh, I didn’t tell you this, you’re out for a while.” “I asked you what the relationship is?” “What kind of relationship? You know now, don’t you, brother and sister.” That didn’t seem to answer the question. “Well, we don’t think of each other as family, but that’s what it is.” I pulled back the hand that had lifted his hair. “We’re bound by the fence of family, but I hate this kid.” Yeah. I really hate Yurtha terribly. “I think that answers your question, now get out of here.” “It’s not quite an answer, but…” Richard paused for a moment and looked at me. He had a face with a lot to say, but it was as if he couldn’t pour it all out in the end. “Call me if anything happens.” With those words he left. So Yurtha and I were the only two left in the room. ‘It’s been a while since we were alone like this.’ Of course, I had never been alone with a passed-out Yurtha before. “… Ugh.” At that moment, his black eyelashes trembled as if about to wake up.A groan escaped his lips and he opened his eyes. “Are you awake, Yurtha?”
