The Extra Refuses Excessive Obsession - Chapter 6

***

“This is the drawing room.”
Monica, who led me to the room at the end of the second floor, somehow opened the door.
“If you need anything, feel free to call me.”
While she quietly closed the door, I slowly looked around the drawing room.
Overall, it has a cozy and warm atmosphere.
Beyond the big window, the spring sunshine felt like a shimmering jewel. At the garden overlooking straight away, the Bourbon Rose was shook by the wind.
“Sigh.”
I lamented from the bottom of my heart.
Wouldn’t it be a tragedy if I died miserably here with the hands of Bastian?
“Wow, I just thought of my neck naturally flying.”
As expected, thinking about death while I am in the verge of death, is clear that people are really going crazy. I can’t believe I imagined a terrible scene.
I shook my head to get rid of my gruesome thoughts.
“No. Even a psycho wouldn’t kill his sister right after seeing her for years right?”
Let’s look on the bright side.
I won’t think of him choking me to the pulp.
But we grew up together until he was 16. Wouldn’t he be imprisoned for that?
“…but it’s better to die in an instant than to die in captivity.”
The original heroine, Tricia, went through all sorts of hardships even though she was only locked up for a week.
Come to think of it, maybe it’s a great idea to go for the goal at once.
While I was thinking about how I could get a more comfortable ending.
“Lady, the Duke has arrived…Duke!”
Blow!
With a loud noise, the door opened roughly without notice. My head turned reflexively.
And I opened my mouth wide.
“Oh, my.”
Is he really a human? I frowned unconsciously because I felt like I saw a halo.
There stood the most handsome man I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
Rose hair like mine, blue eyes like the deep sea. His eyes with thin double eyelids were like a yoyo, and his straight nose is as beautiful as a plaster. His sleek jawline and reddish lips that looks like there is strength and tenderness altogether.
I just looked at him blankly, forgetting that I had been looking for a way to die beautifully.
There was a description of Bastian as visibly handsome, is indeed a surprisingly to see.
He also has a prominent face in the world where his average appearance hits the ceiling.
You being a villain, isn’t it a waste of a face?
While I am mesmerized by his beauty, he stomped in the door and fixed his eyes on me.
At that time, his sculpture-like face hardened. He then made a fierce look.
“……….”
It wasn’t long before Bastian strode across the drawing room.
Every step closer, his sword glistened around his waist.
When I saw it, I am belatedly shocked.
I didn’t think you are gonna kill me like this? The servant at the door and the commander of the Knights who followed him were stunned.
“D-Duke!”
“My Lord!”
I closed my eyes tightly as I felt the man’s heat getting closer.
It’s been fun. Goodbye, my world. And Zera, who sold me out, I’ll avenge myself when I die, so wait. I’ll rip every single hair you have and let you live bald for the next three generations, you d*mn b*t*ch.
It was not long before a deep shadow was cast over my closed eyelids.
It was a moment when I thought I was going to die.
Whoosh.
“Amel.”
Something soft for a knife wrapped around me.
“ …?”
My whole body stiffened in the situation that is completely unexpected.
Hug.
Who? Bastian. Who? Me. I panicked and blinked.
“U-um.”
He held me in his arms with strength.
The sound of continuous thump and his racing heart beat had resonated.
It wasn’t mine, it was heard from Bastian that is right in front of me.
“Ahm.”
“A-ahm.”
While watching the scene, the servant quietly closed the door and left, and the general of knights, who followed Bastian urgently, looked away awkwardly.
No, don’t look away, I looked eagerly at them for an explanation of the situation, but there were no answer that had come back.
After a long while, Bastian let me go carefully, grabbed me by the shoulder and looked me in the eye.
His eyes wandering in the air were defenselessly entangled with him.
“Amelia, you’re alive.”
“…….”
“You are really alive.”
“The end of Bastian’s voice trembled.
“Are you hurt? Is there any hurtful to you? Why are you so thin?”
He swept my shoulder carefully. His blue eyes fluttered mercilessly.
His sight made me confused.
Are you crying right now? The world’s Bastian?
“What’s going on? I can’t believe you went all the way to the far east all alone.”
“ ….”
“I thought I’d loose you…”
I heard it again, but it hit me.
Bastian is looking at me pitifully, stroking me carefully.
I read the original novel for five times, but Bastian is known as a man who killed people and laughed about them, and never saw him cry.
Is this guy really crying?
For a moment, I’m starting to get the hang of it.
I don’t think I’m going to die. At least I am sure I wouldn’t see my own blood in the drawing room.
While I was weighing myself in, Bastian hugged me again.
“But I found you, so that’s enough.”
“…….”
“It’s all right now, Amel. Don’t worry about anything.”
Now that I saw him, his arm that put too much strength is shaking lightly.
I almost patted him on the back without realizing it. Why are you being so pathetic?
It is completely unthinkable development.
I looked at the knight general that is facing on the wall of the drawing room while he clasped his own arms.
“……”
He was turning to the other side as if he was very determined. He seemed desperate not to look this way.
Well, I’m sure it’s a little awkward to look at.
By the way, this hug is get longer as time goes by. I’m starting to feel uncomfortable.
I then called him with a small cough.
“Uhm, Your Grace the Duke?”
I pat him on the back carefully.
And thus he let go of me.
At that moment, Bastian’s body flinched and hardened.
His expression while he is slowly separating himself to me is rather strange.
He seemed both shocked and rigid. What’s certain is that he has a worse facial expression than when he came in through the drawing room door.
“Did you say…Your Grace the Duke?”
His eyes shook wildly when he asked again.
Rather, I was the one who felt ashamed by it.
It’s not like I said something I couldn’t say, what’s wrong with you?
He slowly lifted himself up. Then, with a cold expression, he called the commander of the knights standing behind his back.
“Hueon.”
His voice had an incredibly chilling feel for anyone would had been crying.
Does he have a dual personality? Why does his expression changed so quickly?
But as if I were the only one who was agitated, the commander of the Knights quickly bowed his head.
“I’m sorry, but she doesn’t remember anything.”
“……”
“What a shame, my Lord.”
Though I didn’t just knelt down, I almost felt like I was in a wooden plank-
What is this? What the heck is this? It just happened when I was watching them with cold sweat.
Bastian quickly pulled his sword and pointed it at the knight’s neck.
“Hah!”
You’re crazy, are you? Why are you pulling your sword out all of a sudden!
I just couldn’t understand what the situation is. But I seemed to be the only one who is rather appalled.
The commander of the Knights that has sword pointed at his neck looked rather aloof.
Even though his sharp blue blade is digging his soft flesh, he didn’t moved.
Excuse me? Your throat is bleeding.
“What was my order again?”
“You sir, told me to bring her to the Duchy and every single hair of the lady shouldn’t be hurt.”
“Yeah, you remember it well.”
Bastian blinked his eyes. But ironically, his smile is as beautiful as that of an angel.
“Didn’t I told you that you should her bring her to me unscathed up to her hair.”
“When my sister loses her memory, you can think of it as part of your disobedience.”
I felt goosebumps.
It’s obviously a low voice, and he is more brutal than any other.
Hueon bowed his head like a sinner.
“I’m ashamed of myself.”
“Did you just laugh?”
“No sir.”
Bastian’s blue eyes shone under the chandelier.
“Atone it with your life.”
“Yes, sir.”
It is so obvious to anyone, but there was no one who tackled about it.
Sir, it’s not the captain’s fault that I don’t remember anything! If you have to say it, it’s because of the writer who roughly wrote the settings.
I retracted my words that goes against my statement awhile ago that there will be no blood in the drawing room. At this rate, I will see a head rolling under my feet.
What a horrendous fate I have.
“Wait, hold on!”
Two people’s eyes fell unto me due to my sudden shout. Then cold sweat simmer down.
“Did I, uh, do something wrong…?
Bastian, while he frowned his brows, he then tilted his head.
“What are you talking about, Amel?”
“There’s no such thing as it is his fault.”
It’s not convincing to point a sword in someone’s throat.
“But why?”
“It’s a punishment for not protecting you thoroughly.”
Excuse me, it’s been less than five hours since I saw the driver and him.
I don’t even know what my safety has to do with my memories.
But my desperation seemed invisible to Bastian’s eyes.
He turned his head and stared at Hueon.
“The last thing I need to say is.”
“Please kill me.”
“H-h-hold on.”
I shook my hand in a hurry.
“Do you have to regard blood like that? People’s lives are precious. And it’s not because of him that I lost my memory.
“I thought so-…”
Unable to finish his words due to Bastian’s stare, he slowly dragged his eyes down.
He didn’t even stare at me, but his expressionless face looked like he was about to kill people with his eyes. I wondered if he was the same person who looked at me with a crying face earlier.
But I can’t just stay still when people are in danger of dying right now.
I am a good citizen who valued human dignity.
“So please give me that sword.”
I asked in a crawling voice. The end of the sentence shook.
I felt dizzy to think that a person would die in front of my eyes.
“……”
“…how silent you must have been.”
“…I am so sorry for scaring you like that, Amel.”
When I glanced up, I saw Bastian putting the sword in.
What the, you’re more obedient than I thought.
“…thank you.”
It’s a good thing we can communicate. You’re not crazy at all.
When I was relieved alone. Bastian smiled furiously at me.
“I’ll drag you out and cut your throat.”
What?
“Oh, no!”
Why are you talking like that?!
Bastian’s forehead narrowed when he saw me being stunned.
After thinking hard, he then exclaimed.
“I’m going to clean the blood so it doesn’t show.”
“So don’t worry and wait.”
In addition, his smiling expression couldn’t be more brighter than ever.
…I guess I’m just gonna bite my tongue and faint.
