He is obsessed with me after I saved him - Chapter 24

“Do you think you can leave without seeing our Team Leader?”

As she was busy collecting the remaining memories about the explosion, she tilted her head.

“I don’t know. I’m thinking about it.”

After answering quietly, I straightened my knees.

At the same time, the fingers wearing gloves became stiff for no reason.

Investigation and handling of the site should be left to the support request team soon.

The rest of the members of the headquarters can leave after they supply the higher ups with a simple report.

But even on the easy path, her steps did not fall forward

Rather, it only became heavy.

“Don’t be stubborn Rose, you can tell me if you’re worried.”

Ishid passed by me and stood in front of me.

As I looked back, I thought of something and asked him about it.

“How?”

“….”

“Will you come with me?”

There was a calm wind that passed them by.

It felt like the wind was a warning for an upcoming storm, as she blinked.

She feels like she’s out of breath.

My fingers tremble slightly.

Changes have always altered a few things.

“Okay.”

I smiled lightly.

“I’ll go. Let’s go.”

There’s no reason not to go from now on.

It has been less than an hour since she made this commitment of hers, but her back then and her ight now, were a little different.

The difference she would make from now on is to show her presence, while back then, was always absent and didn’t pay attention.

Ishid’s face, who listened to her, spread brightly.

I showed signs of joy.

“Good. Then, just clean up this box and let’s go. It will be over soon.”

“Take your time. Don’t spill like last time.”

“Don’t worry. The first and last of my mistakes was the citrus perfumes that I poured out in surprise at the notice of the grace period.”

“I’m proud of you.”

Ishid bent his eyes with a smile.

Since then, he has been filling the box, by organizing a small amount of goods one by one.

I thought it would be over in less than a few minutes.

In the meantime, I decided to stand against the wall, but the only thing I did was to watch Ishid in a daze.

Yet I was thinking all different things in my head.

What I remembered again was the form of the protective shield which covered the sky.

As far as she remembered, it was a dense field, in the shape of a honeycomb.

The questionable part was caught and she swept her chin without realizing it.

Come to think of it, Carlos was distracted and forgot the important fact.

How could he, a powerful being, got distracted to that invasion of the territory?

Security positions that can completely achieve attack and protection were rare.

For me, I was fortunate to have been moved to the metropolitan area, so I experienced the talented sub male protagonist with a B+ grade.

If the security workers at the local land had seen it, it would had remained dark.

But now, the team leader has an S grade following B+.

Is it because all the talented people from all over the country were gathered around me?

‘Because of that ability… My body’s flow of power got unstable?’

Just how the hell?

She questioned Carlos’s difference.

She was confused because of the difference between the original appearance he showed and the set character in the original novel, but it seemed to have been deepened due to circumstances.

His past has not yet been fully revealed.

Only then did I realize that the conversation I had with him at the birthday party was wrong.

‘I’ve never told you.‘

Looking back, he was full of resentment. Eyes filled with madness and contempt.

Resentment against his stepmother who had been imprisoned for 10 years.

Resentment against His Majesty, who was rebuked without knowing his son’s old pain.

After Sollio, the son of Queen Cherileyn, there were a number of unspecified people who did not know about his cursed plight.

It was all unfairness that seemed plausible.

One decisive thing is missing here.

It was an investigation. A direct event that allowed Carlos to do this.

He told me the truth at the time, but he hid something and didn’t talk about it.

“Ishid.”

“Huh?”

I hurriedly opened my mouth to the family that suddenly came to mind.

If ‘someone’ did something to Carlos’s body.

The source of that possibility is probably…….

“Do you know 〈Blood of Deloid 〉written by Tobias Cesar?”

“Ro, Rose! Wait a minute.“

A quick response was given.

Before answering the question, Ishid, in fear, put his arm around my neck and lowered his body.

“What? What’s wrong?”

“Shh. Rose, you… If you want to be safe, please lower your voice. I guess you forgot, but this is a sacred workplace. It’s sponsored by the Royal Security Agency!”

It’s not sacred at all of a sudden.

It’s not important whether you’re safe or not, right now.

It has been designated as a forbidden book in the past, but it has been open to the public for a long time now anyway. There is no need to make a fuss like this.

“It’s okay. I don’t care, so tell me if you know. So do you know?”

“Wa, wait. You don’t know, but I’m being careful here…”

“It’s not forbidden.”

“Oh, really?”

Ishid’s shoulders flinched. He seemed to be nervous at the moment.

Who’s not a model employee here?

I squinted my eyes.

“So do you know, or you don’t know?”

“No, I know. I know, but why are you suddenly asking that?”

I was really surprised.

His alert gaze that didn’t disappear, carefully looked around.

Fortunately, however, there was no dangerous person reflected in Ishid’s radar-like guard.

His sensitivity has eased noticeably.

“That book, it was a guidebook that anyone with security skills had to know before assigning their team. Even though the current Queen’s supreme court ordered it to be banned, it was designated as a forbidden book five years ago and was buried somewhere.”

“Really?”

“Yes. But aside from me, Rose, if you would have known… .”

“No. Actually, I don’t know either.“

He shook his head at her words and tapped the ground with his foot.

Honestly, I brought it up first, but I was not sure.

The memory of this book which originated from the past, although Rose was interested in it, tried to touch it.

So, she only vaguely remembered the plot that she quitted reading for a long time now.

There is only one owner of the Deloid throne. A fierce battle for the throne takes place because of this.

As the title implies, it was about the history colored with blood.

That’s it. I only know this much.

“Hey, can you be unprotected by an enemy even if you have a high grade?”

I kept silent the whole time, but I took my mouth off. There was only one thing I was curious about.

“The base for protection and attack is solid. Can one be vigilant?”

Was Carlos a victim of the throne fight?

Because of the conspiracy of the 2nd queen, Cherileyn Lazaro?

“A bit can happen.”

“Something like a gap?”

For example?

“It’s age. The opportunity to create a gap increases when the person has a young body.”

“… Oh?”

Ishid, who hesitated, reluctantly replied to me.

“Hooh. So to put it simply.”

He said, helplessly.

“You just have to kill the body several times.”

“…….”

“You know, super talented people don’t die easily. Especially if you were refraining from inheriting royal blood, you would have done more. It was ‘Blood of Deloid’ for a reason. There was a reason for everything. I know that the most representative of them was that they had to kill people several times or cause drug damage until they were fatally injured.“

Oh, I heard that some drugs are smuggled secretly from the next country’s Kingdom of Croatia.

I heard that if you try taking it about four times in a row, it’s perfect for ending a person’s body.

“No matter how strong the grade is, I can’t guarantee one will be still okay. To kill the body multiple times means to lose life. It’s not a joke, it’s helpless in that scenario.”

After finishing his speech, Ishid shook his head.

While careful information came and went, I eventually sat on the floor sliding and covered my mouth.

“Rose! Are you okay?”

“Oh…”

What did I just hear? All of her strength was released all over her body. It was an instant effect when her back felt cold and her fingertips trembled.

My vision was shaken.

It was a moment when I belatedly realized what I had done to Carlos.

“Someone said, everything is a matter of timing.”

No.

“If I have that opportunity, it wouldn’t be bad to try it once.”

If that was the case, my side to talk about Sollio was too cruel.

‘Not once, but the son of a man who killed himself many times.’

I closed my eyes, shaking. Then the words of the past that I had spit out came back one by one like a blade and stabbed my heart hard.

A proposal that I felt complacent because I thought it was only a short relationship.

I didn’t even know the details, but I didn’t understand his feelings and implicitly made a big mistake.

‘It’s said that what happened once is irreversible, but in fact, there’s a hidden opportunity to make up for it. Of course, if you miss even the timing of the opportunity, you will never be able to turn it back.’

I should have just shut up.

Apart from Carlos’ hesitation, his childhood, which includes Cherileyn, was devastating.

A body that cannot control itself, and periodically explodes.

As Ishid said, if there was such a terrible process in the past, Carlos could have hated Sollio sincerely…….

Late regret came to my heart. It felt bitter in my mouth.

If I had sympathized with him a little more and noticed his pain, I could have said it carefully.

But I couldn’t.

Obviously, this was a horrendous mistake I made, from my wrong assumption that I knew him well, even though I just knew him in the novel.

“It’s my fault…”

“What did you say, Rose?”

I was soaked in regret over the tilting side.

Let’s reflect. I looked down on Carlos’ situation.

I misunderstood that my affection for this novel was a complete understanding of it.

Elements that cannot be expressed in writing overflow in this world.

“What am I going to do about this?”

I sighed and buried my face in my hands.

I was embarrassed. At the same time, I was at a loss.

There were certain things that happened that I felt sorry for Carlos.
