The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me - Chapter 132
It took quite a while to get to the capital.
There are not one or two things to be concerned about, and I had to join Argen in the middle, so if I added an exaggeration, it would have taken twice as long as the original to reach the capital.
In order to spread the rumor that I was Argen’s lover, it was necessary to direct a scene where I met and fell in love with Argen on the way.
Of course, Argen’s inner heart was more for the purpose of monitoring me in case I would run away.
As I put on the artifact earrings Argen gave me, my appearance changed to a different person.
A gorgeous beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes.
I don’t have to worry about meeting someone I know.
No one will recognize me
“If the servants in the mansion are uncomfortable, we can go to another mansion. Or we can replace them all.”
Argen took care because he thought it would be uncomfortable to see an acquaintance in the mansion.
“It’s okay. No one will recognize me anyway.”
“……”
“I’ll tell you later if it’s uncomfortable.”
After being with him for a few days, I felt a little less awkward.
Many thoughts ran through my head as I made my way to the capital.
<Because killing the Transcendent is the way you completely get back.>
When I closed my eyes, the conversation I had with Dylan that night came back.
Is that really the only way to go back?
Then why does the method kill the Transcendent?
‘It’s unreasonable to kill people.’
Even if I die and go back, it would be difficult to live happily in Korea.
I killed an innocent person to get back, but there’s no way I’ll survive.
All sorts of thoughts clung to my head.
So we arrived in the capital.
“…..!”
Argen and I were silently astonished when we saw the scenery of the capital.
The capital city was hard to imagine.
A street was destroyed and it was a disastrous situation.
“What is this…”
I was looking out the window to see the capital, but the scenery suddenly changed horribly, I wondered if I had seen it wrong.
What the hell is wrong with the capital?
As if to block the entrance to the collapsed street, the knights were guarding it, and behind it was completely blocked by a log.
With only one step left, the landscape changed dramatically.
“Wait in the carriage for a moment. I will come and check the situation.”
Argen, who was looking out the window with me, went out.
Argen got off the wagon and I saw him approaching the knights who were guarding it.
As Argen approached, a man in precious clothes ran from afar.
Is he in charge here?
‘It’s good to have a high status.’
Seeing him being treated so preciously.
I watched from the window and got up to follow him down.
It might be good to keep quiet, but it makes it difficult to keep an eye on the situation in the capital.
There is a difference between hearing from Argen and seeing with my own two eyes and hearing with my ears.
I jumped off the wagon and approached Argen.
“… Camilla?”
It was my name that I decided to use in the capital.
Argen looked at me with surprised eyes.
He told me to stay still, but his eyes looked as if he wanted me to follow him.
“I’m afraid to be alone.”
“……”
I thought I would say something more, but Argen shuts his mouth.
“Well… this person is…”
A man who appears to be a caretaker asks, he was puzzled by my sudden appearance.
“She is my lover.”
His voice was businesslike.
People might think that we’re not lovers, but in a business relationship.
“… Lover?”
Seeing the caretaker questioning in disbelief, I wrapped my arms around Argen’s arm.
Argen looked at me in confusion.
Fortunately, though, there was no disagreement on his face.
I leaned my head on his shoulder without any concern.
It was conveyed to me that Arzen’s body hardened.
I don’t know what kind of fiancée you asked me to become after this.
“Say what you want to say.”
Perhaps Argen was conscious of the gaze, but he did not stop my behavior and urged the man.
“That… A big thing happened in the capital a few days ago.”
“A big thing?”
“Yes. Suddenly, the demon worshipers made a commotion.”
“Is that why the streets are like this?”
“Yes, yes. But only in this area, everything else is fine!”
The man shouted in excuses.
“They are making a fuss about looking for something….”
“Looking for something? What do you mean?”
“That is… No one knows. But there are quite a few people who testified that they were told they were looking for something special.”
So to sum up, it means that demon worshippers terrorized this place a few days ago to find something.
‘Looking for something…’
There was no such content in the original work, and there was no such fuss.
At this point, wasn’t the original book I was reading from another book? I even thought of It’s unlikely, but it’s a reasonable suspicion.
“How many dead and injured people?”
“That…”
“Is it so serious that it’s hard to say?”
“No. So it’s not that I couldn’t tell you…”
There were no dead or injured people.
What followed was shocking.
Argen paused for a moment and looked at the condition of the destroyed street again.
The building has completely collapsed and the sky is cloudy with debris blowing in the wind.
The streets of the capital that I saw while running away from the Marquis of Evantes three years ago were dazzling and splendid with lights, but now they are so gloomy.
“No matter how lucky It was, the streets turned out like this, and there were no deaths or injuries?”
“There is a reason.”
The man opened his mouth as if trying to explain.
But at that moment, it was stopped because of the actions of a man who jumped out into the street.
“The Savior has saved us all!”
People’s eyes turned to it.
The man’s journey didn’t stop there.
“The Saviour will drive out all the extraordinary things!”
It was terrifying to see him screaming like a madman.
But, unbelievably, the people on the street began to sympathize with the man one by one.
“The Savior will save us!”
There was joy in the eyes of those who cried along with the maddened cry.
It felt like madness was spreading all over the street, and it was creepy.
“It started again.”
It seemed to be a familiar situation to the man, and he had a tired face.
“Did the savior save them?”
Argen seemed to have roughly guessed the situation.
“That’s right. In a chaotic situation, a savior appeared and saved them. That is why they follow the savior like that.”
We paid attention to the people on the street.
After a while, they became quiet when a carriage pulled into the street.
“It is the carriage of the Ascent family.”
Ascent? First time hearing this?
However, people smile when they see the carriage as if it has a fairly large influence.
“It’s a family that runs a loan business.”
“It would be hard to win such popularity with the loan business.”
“That’s true, but…”
The door of the Ascent family’s carriage opened and a blonde man and a woman in black mourning clothes got out from inside.
When they got off, people greeted them both.
“They are brothers and sisters, and in the Ascent family, they run the business jointly. When this incident happened, they gave out relief supplies without any compensation, so they won the hearts of people.”
Argen caught the sight of the siblings passing side by side.
And he muttered quietly to himself.
“It doesn’t seem like they acted for nothing.”
“Yes?”
“Can’t you see it? what they got.”
“No way! They got no money. Rather, it was a loss.”
Argen didn’t respond to the man’s words.
But, as Argen said, I seemed to know what the brothers and sisters of the Ascent family had gained. Even made it clear.
People’s hearts.
They took valuable things that are hard to get even with money.
****
It has been only three years since the Ascent family was founded.
It was a family with a short history and quickly established itself.
“Emily, your hat is crooked.”
Anri reached out to fix the crooked hat, but Emily struck the hand sharply.
“I can do it.”
“Yes, you do it.”
Anri fixed his gloves and smiled softly.
Emily never gave up on anyone.
Except for one person.
“Emily.”
As we entered the building, a woman with pink hair called Emily.
The woman glanced at Anri and then fixed her gaze on Emily as if she was not interested.
Emily also looked at the woman and smiled brightly.
“Rosie!”
“Are you coming now, Emily?”
“Did you wait for me a long time?”
“I didn’t wait much.”
Rosie took Emily’s hand and smiled brightly.
Anri looked at her with a cold gaze.
A woman who suddenly appeared to them a year ago took Emily’s side just like when she worked for a Marquise.
