The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me - Chapter 140
It’s not me, Rose is a demon worshiper?
She wasn’t the only one who had ever called me a demon worshiper.
… Richard, who accused me of being suspicious without any evidence, or Lucas, who said he sensed a devil worshiper’s energy in Rose’s pendant.
And even Countess Millard.
At this point, I wondered if there really was something to it.
But the thought did not go any further.
“Ugh!”
I dug my nails into the back of Countess Millard’s hand, trying to break free of the grip around my neck.
My fingernails pierced her skin, bleeding, but Countess Millard didn’t loosen up like someone who had forgotten the pain.
“Die! die!”
“… Ugh!.”
“Please die!”
Filled with madness, the woman shouted.
The voice became a bloody curse and drove me down there.
Strangely, she was trying to kill me, but somehow Countess Millard’s voice sounded sad.
Just then, a vase placed in front of the table caught my eye.
I held my dying breath and reached out with a trembling hand.
Please, touch it.
A few times, as my knuckles barely passed, I finally managed to hold the vase.
Without hesitation, I swung it at the Countess.
Crash—
A dull pain, incomparable to the scratching of her hand, struck the Countess.
Her body shook when I hit her vital part.
I took the opportunity to get away from her.
“Hah… Hah…”
I was out of breath, unable to come to my senses, and fell to the table.
I groped my sore neck and looked back frantically.
Countess Millard looked at me, clutching her head as if she had been hit in the head.
I left her and looked for a way to escape, but the Countess was standing in the way blocking the door.
This is a difficult situation for me.
I realized the obvious difference in strength from the physical fight I just had with the Countess.
I’d be in trouble if I tried to fight her again.
“… Hah! Madam, I’m… not… hah…!”
I took a deep breath and grabbed my sore throat.
“Is it a misunderstanding?”
“… Hah…, yes, madam. I’m… hah… not… hah… the demon… hah… worship…”
In fact, I couldn’t tell now if Rose was a demon worshiper or not.
Demon worshipers say they have a stigma on their wingbones, but I don’t.
So, of course, I believed that I wasn’t a demon worshiper. However, repeated situations broke my faith.
But it didn’t matter if I was a demon worshiper or not.
‘If I become a demon worshiper now, I will die.’
Countess Millard will kill me. So what should I explain?
I opened my luck again with a more refined breathing.
“If you say I’m a devil worshiper, can you tell me in what way?”
“A cunning demon worshiper is trying to make fun of me with her sly tongue!”
The Countess looked at me with a creepy cold face.
‘It was wrong.’
With that single word, I realized that it was not possible to have a rational conversation.
The spark in her eyes convinced me that whatever I said was useless.
“… Come to think of it, I could feel the cursed aura from Marquis Evantes.”
Saying so, the Countess took a leisurely step forward.
The final destination of her steps was a decorative sword hanging on the wall.
‘Is that a real sword?’
An ominous feeling engulfs the whole body.
“Maybe because of that curse, the Marquis avoided me.”
“…….”
“The curse must be related to the lady, right?”
“… Madam.”
The Countess held in her hand a decorative sword hung on the wall.
A cold sweat ran down my back.
I quickly found a place to hide and found the terrace.
At that moment, I heard the sound of a sword being dragged on the carpet and light footsteps in slippers moving in this direction.
“Lady, my son was killed by a demon worshiper.”
“……”
“But what an honor it would be if you could kill a devil worshiper and be saved by the ‘Savior’?’
“… You say that if you kill a demon worshiper you will be saved?”
“Yes. I will be saved by avenging my son’s death.”
The dead eyes flashed with madness.
In an instant, the woman’s eyes twinkled as if alive, and the Countess rushed to me.
I ran like crazy to the terrace. Just as I was about to close the door, Countess Millard boldly threw her shoulder at the door.
Crash!
“Ugh!”
Being hit by a door that closes hard enough to complain of pain, but the woman who was controlled by madness didn’t even feel it, so she forced the door open and entered.
The door eventually opened due to the difference in power.
I stumbled backwards to avoid her, but my efforts were short-lived. The railing of the terrace touched my back.
I turned my head to see a dizzying expanse below.
“If you stay still, I’ll finish it without hurting you, lady.”
I looked at the Countess Millard calmly, struggling with my beating heart.
“Can the Countess really claim that I am a devil worshiper?”
“Of course. That was definitely the aura of a demon worshiper.”
“Think carefully. If you’re wrong, you’re killing innocent people.”
“……”
When I asked her with an unshaken eye, the Countess paused for a moment.
“No, you must be a demon worshiper…”
Judging by her confusion, she’d never killed a normal person before.
Then there is a possibility.
I rushed to take the sword in her hand, taking advantage of her negligence.
I pushed her with all my might and climbed onto her body.
“Ugh!”
The Countess panicked and tried to push me away, but for this moment I was quick. I quickly picked up the dropped sword.
“Stay still, madam.”
“……”
“It won’t hurt you if you stay still.”
Holding the sword to her throat, I slowly rose from my seat.
The Countess looked at me with wary eyes.
As she looked at me and tried to move her body, I held out the sword a little closer to her neck.
“I told you to stay still. Can’t you hear me?”
I acted threateningly, and then she obeyed me.
“Let me ask you a few questions. First of all, I’m a demon worshiper. What do you mean?”
“……”
“Go ahead, tell me.”
The Countess’ lips twitched as I raised my sword to stab her.
“I’ve seen…”
“You see?”
“Seeing you with a demon worshiper.”
“… So you’re saying there’s no conclusive proof that I’m a demon worshiper?”
“You were with a demon worshiper! So you demon worshipers!”
Already the Countess is convinced of her thoughts.
At that moment, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
I didn’t know if I should be grateful that I wasn’t a demon worshiper, or if I should consider this a disastrous fact.
“Is that just proof that I’m a demon worshiper?”
“But you… You said you loved the demon worshiper.”
What?
“It is a sin to hide a demon worshiper, and to love such an evil being! It’s a sin! My son was killed by a demon worshiper!”
The Countess cried out in anger. Soon she cried like a child, but I could not afford to let the emotion get to me.
“Did you see my memories? What did you see? Go ahead, tell me did you cast a spell? Is that what you see?”
All sorts of questions arose.
The Countess kept her mouth shut as if she had no intention of speaking.
I brought the blade closer to her neck. A stream of blood flowed from her neck as if I was a little overpowering.
“Say it.”
“… I don’t know because I saw it in a short time. You cried and you said you love him to the devil worshiper”
“……”
“And you begged him not to go.”
What’s going on with this?
Rose, what the hell have you been up to?
“Do you know what he looks like?”
“… I don’t know.”
I looked into the Countess’ face.
It didn’t seem like she was lying.
“Last question. Where did you meet the savior?”
“I can never say that.”
The Countess bit her lip. It didn’t seem like there would be any success if I searched more than this.
I raised my sword to threaten her.
After holding a heavy sword for a long time, my hands trembled.
And the Countess did not miss the opportunity.
The Countess jumped up and pushed me.
“Die!”
While I couldn’t focus on the sudden attack, she tried to push me back to the terrace.
I instinctively turned away from her, and that’s when it happened.
“Ugh!”
“Madam!”
The Countess’s body had fallen onto the terrace.
Just before her body hit the ground, I reflexively grabbed her flapping robe.
She was already more than halfway over.
“Madam, take my hand!”
If I let go, she might die.
My heart fluttered at the thought.
“Why…?”
The Countess looked at me as if she didn’t understand.
“If you don’t want to die, come to your senses and grab my arm quickly!”
“…….”
The woman who was rushing to kill me just a moment ago looked at me strangely.
Soon the woman’s face was stained with tears.
“Madam, grab my arm quickly! Come up here!”
And then.
I heard the sound of clothes being torn.
“Quickly!”
The Countess reached out as if to grab my arm.
“Hurry up!”
For a moment, the Countess’ eyes fluttered and her lips curled.
She obviously said something to me.
At that moment, Ripped- clothes were completely torn.
Thud!
The Countess fell down there.
I stared blankly at the figure of the woman who had fallen. In dazed
“Huh! She killed madam!”
At that moment, someone shouted from behind.
When I turned around in surprise, the maid was looking at me with a surprised face as to when I had entered the room.
“How dare you push the Countess…!”
The maid yelled at me, pointing a finger at me if I had misunderstood something.
“No, it’s not like that.”
The situation that is happening now is also confusing, but the maid’s cry made it difficult to breathe.
“I didn’t kill her….”
“You are a murderer! A murderer who killed the Countess…!”
The maid shouted as if trying to attract people around her.
But her cry failed to attract people.
“Ugh!”
Suddenly, the knife was lodged in the maid’s stomach.
Then the sword came out and the maid fell.
I looked at the man who stabbed the maid from behind.
… Richard.
