He is obsessed with me after I saved him - Chapter 6

Episode 6~

“Rose!”

Just in time, I saw Ishid waving at me from afar.

He rushed here and filled the empty space beside me.

I could see how much he ran, and where his calm hair went as it was tangled.

“Gasp, gasp.”

“You’re out of breath. Drink.”

When I handed over a non-alcoholic cocktail for Ishid, who had a short breath, he then asked me.

“Rose, where the hell have you been?”

“Are you… are you really talking to me?”

“Ugh!”

“Ishid Fernando. That’s what I’d like to ask.”

A weak groan escaped from his lips when I hit his shin.

Ishid looked like he really didn’t know anything.

“Ro, Rose?”

Seeing his eyes expressing such injustice made me feel more frustrated.

I spent a long time standing because of someone!

“No matter how generous I am, I can’t let this go. You told me to get ready on time and come out, where did you go and flirt?”

“What? What do you mean flirt , you were the one who looked for me and told me not to worry about it and go. I’m just mad that you were late…”

“What, when did I do that to you?”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

Suddenly there was a silence between us.

“….”

“….”

Ishid and I closed our mouths and looked at each other.

Things were going strangely.

Did I tell Ishid to go first and don’t mind me?

I’ve never done that. Then who did?

Suddenly, a bad feeling came into my head. There was one person who came into my mind in a moment.

‘…Carlos.’

Perhaps, this was the ‘curse of memory’ he was talking about.

In a nutshell, is being able to create memories in other people’s mind the  curse?

So, Ishid’s memory was also manipulated. On the premise of erasing my memories, I’m sure he blew everything comfortably?

I laughed in vain, but I was a little embarrassed.

‘Hey, gentleman writer.’

Why did I bounce off the power used by the S-rated protagonist??

Apparently Carlos erased my memory, and disappeared cleanly.

And nothing happened.

***

Any direct descendant of the royal family has the right to be granted one rare ability.

This was the extraordinariness of the noble bloodline and the sky that distinguished it from others.

Usually after the age of ten, Carlos, who hid it thoroughly, revealed his abilities to his beloved Eljevita in the distant future.

“Reflect, Rose Rutiens.”

*It wasn’t until I tore my hair off that I admitted it. I had forgotten.

(TL: Tore off hair, means, she was just exaggerating. She was overthinking that she felt like her hair fell out.)

What Carlos called a curse was his own ability.

It was a legacy of power from generations to generations, distinguished from the ability of ordinary businessmen to deal with.

‘But it wasn’t even properly described.’

And even after reading the story, it was full of open endings.

How could I have noticed this?

I felt constrained and ended up with self-comfort close to rationalization.

But I didn’t felt any better and felt as bad as I felt before.

In the midst of all that, I’m the only one who bounced off Carlos’ ability.

The identity of Rose Lutien’s, which I don’t even know, used to be feared at times.

“Hmm….”

I ignored Ishid’s voice, which was constantly moving its mouth in confusion, and slowly clasped my palm.

I didn’t move for a long time as a test, but I didn’t see any changes.

All I could see in front of me was a fragile, slender hand that seemed powerless.

He shifted his gaze and stared at the woman in the cocktail glass she was holding.

Although not a flashy appearance, Rose Lutiens’ beauty stood out enough.

A calm atmosphere that can be seen from clear and elegant features.

Milk chocolate hair hanging over the shoulders creating a natural curve to the side.

At first glance, even the innocent light green eyes, seemed like, she can be easily deceived.

It’s just one of the most cute looking aristocrats of all time.

How could a kid like this have the defense capability to match a grade S?

Maybe Rose was something like that. A man who would have been a great man of the century if he hadn’t died of fever?

Putting down the cocktail in my hand, I shook my head hard to regain my senses.

‘It sounds like big deal.’

If it was known to the kingdom, it would have become a lab rat’s condition.

But I don’t want that kind of life.

Never! I’m already exhausted from this kind of life.

The days so far were still vivid.

After I was assigned to the Velos Territory security team to cry and eat mustard, and how much I clenched my teeth and built a big picture for a dream-like life.

“It was terrible, really.”

So I can’t let the days go on like this.

I cried several times in the past, then I quietly stretched out my hand to get another cocktail.

I didn’t really feel like drinking, but I thought I would feel even more dirty if I stayed sober.

Yes, it would not be bad to have a proper party atmosphere until the King’s Majesty takes charge.

I rolled my eyes carefully, I looked at the cocktails, and then reached out to the blue cup with the yellow lemon.

Meanwhile, Ishid’s complaint was abruptly cut off.

“What’s wrong, Rose? What’s so terrible?”

“Nothing.”

Ishid had been trying to find out the question since the story got tangled up earlier.

But he still hasn’t easily figured out why he’s gotten such a reply from me and for what reason.

Expectably, Ishid’s question will not be solved until Carlos dies.

If it were such an easy-to-remember memory, Carlos’s rare power would have been useless in the first place.

Fortunately, he seemed to have completely erased Ishid’s memory using the special powers granted by the royal family.

“My head got stuffy like it was stuck in my mouth. Rose, do you have anything to say to me?”

“Nothing.”

Can’t you just tell me you’ve been beaten by Carlos?

Ignorance is the medicine, I sipped my drink leaning against the wall.

“Phew… yes.“

“Focus on the party, esteemed Fernando?”

“I told you not to make fun of me.”

I closed my eyes viciously as I saw Isid sighing.

“Don’t worry too much. Even if it’s a little late, I finished my entrance safely with my partner.”

“Which Young Man escorted you?”

“Someone. Whom I don’t want to see again.”

“Huh?”

At this point, I finished my conversation with Ishid and took my back off the wall I was leaning on.

I don’t really remember how I put myself in the position.

Less than half an hour after entering, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was ripe.

Soon, the king will also have a time to toast together after the parade to the royal banquet hall.

Please, I hope the day ends smoothly.

‘…I’m nervous.’

I had become a fishy person because I knew all Carlos’ intentions unwantedly.

What did he say?

Are you going to tell everyone what kind of life you’ve been living and what the queen has done 10 years ago?

If so… How are you going to let that happen?

“Rose, I’ll go back to the team for a while.”

When I was staring into the air alone and touching my chin, Ishid spoke as he was touching my shoulder.

Where he was beckoning, there were people from the security team, each holding a glass in each hand, talking to each other.

At first glance, feeling Ishid’s gaze, Meichel, who blushed, raised her hand in this direction.

Oh, I don’t know why, but I don’t want to go.

I looked and answered lightly,

“Yes, it’s up to you.”

“Oh wait, do you want to come with me? We were supposed to say good-bye to our team members before the party ended.”

“Later. I’ll take a break for now.”

“Well, when you’re all right, you’re gonna come over there? I’ll wait with the team.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. I hope you’ll feel at ease since it’s your last time, Rose.”

A warm smile of Ishid gently lifted up and mixed into the crowd.

I swallowed dry saliva looking at his back in a disturbed state.

Somehow I felt nauseous. Is it because of the pieces of memory that keep overlapping one by one?

The energy to signal bad luck began to surround the body with braille.

Carlos’s symptoms of body flow instability, which he had clearly checked, showed his anger even though he knew it.

There seemed to be a deep grudge against imprisonment.

If Carlos’s physical condition persists, the worst side effect he’ll ever see is…

Perhaps it is the ‘thing’ that will endanger the lives of the entire place.

What should I do if any serious bloodshed breaks out in the banquet hall?

Running away is the easiest way to go, and I’m in trouble.

To be honest, my conscience isn’t so good that I know it and pretend I don’t know.. !

Someone grabbed the shoulder of the man who had been contemplating while biting his lips.

“….Se.”

“….”

“… Rose!”

“Huh?”

The misty view began to clear up.

Ishid, who had just said hello to me saying he would go that way, came back to me and was holding me and shouting.

What? What’s wrong?

Not realizing the situation for a while, I frowned, but soon closed my mouth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wang!

“Oh, my God.”

“Get down, Rose!”

The bright chandelier’s lights quickly turned gray and burned black.

At the same time, a bomb-like noise penetrated my ears.

The light in the banquet hall was fading away one by one.

No. It was exactly someone’s intentional power outage.

Barely attached to the wall created by Ishid, I held my breath in the distance in a white silhouette.

‘Carlos, that crazy bastard…!’

A runaway was triggered.
