The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me

Chapter 174 ‘If you don’t say anything, Shi-eon will be in trouble.’ Tell the castle you’re quitting and leave.It’s late, but the people in the castle work until very late. So let’s solve it quickly. The castle guards changed once every night, so they couldn’t recognize me, but a familiar-looking knight passing by found me and let me in. I hurried to the garden. “Shi-eon.” Shi-eon said that he works in the garden even at this time. But Shi-eon was nowhere to be seen. Tuk- Then something caught at my feet. ‘Locket Pendant?’ What is this? Come to think of it, I saw Shi-eon wearing something similar before… Could it be Shi-eon? I picked up the locket pendant and tried to open it. However, the tightly closed locket pendant did not open. <If there is a God, please hear my prayer.> Again. A strange memory came crashing into my head. I frowned. Why did I do this? <If you have any pity on me, please listen to my prayer just once.> In my memory, I knelt down in the temple and prayed sadly. <If you’re going to keep me locked up in this living hell…!> <I’d rather forget everything. Make me feel like an idiot!> “Ugh…” My head hurts. I covered my throbbing head with my hands. Then I saw red marks on the leaves of grass. What is this mark? I grabbed my dazed mind from the headache and walked along the trail. Could it be blood? While denying inside, an ominous feeling creeped up. Soon I realized there was something in the bushes. I froze in my tracks as I realized what it was. “… Shi-eon?” Lee Shi-eon, he was lying on the floor bleeding from his head. I crouched down to make sure he was okay.His body was ice cold, like a dead person.I quickly put my hand under his nose and checked for his pulse. “Hey, Lee Shi-eon…” Something is wrong. Why the hell are you lying here? “Lee Shi-eon, wake up.” I shook his body to wake him up, but to no avail. How did this happen? Lee Shi-eon, please… “Rose?” Then someone called me from behind. “Hannah? I’m glad you came. Shi-eon is weird.” “…….” “Come on, call someone. He’s going to get in trouble.” “…….” “Hannah?” Why aren’t you moving when you see someone with a bleeding head!I wondered if she was freaking out, but strangely, she seemed calm. “I saw it.” “…….” Does she know it? “… Did you know beforehand?” “Shi-eon is dead, Rose.” “…….” “I made him that way.” “Hannah, you…!” Hannah laughed, feeling smug. “I’m going to sacrifice you too.” Sacrificing? A large man jumped out from behind me.I turned to run, but it was too late.The man struck me in the back of the head.I was knocked unconscious.  **** The question was, when did it happen?I was so glad to see Shi-eon after all these years alone in the middle of nowhere.No one will ever be able to explain how I felt, never. It felt like I was meeting someone right before I went crazy in an empty space. I was looking forward to meeting Sian.I loved that every time I came here, he would tell me about what was going on in Korea.I liked how he would tell me about my mom’s condition. I liked how he would comfort me when I cried about my mom.I was scared that he wouldn’t come anymore.But one day, he started acting strange.I felt that the voice of Shi-eon, who conveyed my mother’s regards, was different. Shi-eon had a lively voice as usual, but I felt a shadowy part in it. The human touch came out of nowhere, and I’ve been suspicious of him ever since. And I questioned Shi-eon… then i found out That my mother was dead. She died while I was away from Korea.I wanted to die then.No, actually, I had already died once.I jumped off the terrace because I couldn’t handle the reality. Then I saw Dylan. He, who ran to stop me from falling, crying. You were crying and running after me, after all the death threats you had made.You probably think I was lucky to survive, but I was dead.I was dead.But I didn’t die. I’ve been trying to figure out how to live. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do.I wanted to die, but I couldn’t, so I had to live. Isn’t that right?And then someone stepped in my eyes. Me, who lost my mother, and Celine, who lost her child. It was probably from then. I decided to be the perfect Rosie, to be Rose.I decided to end my helpless life.because I didn’t want anyone around me to be unhappy. It wasn’t pity or anything, it was just… I didn’t want someone like me around.So I wanted to be good to Dylan.I wanted to be Celine’s daughter.I didn’t want to break her heart. <I’m not going.> So I declared it to Lee Shi-eon. To the child who was so eager to help me. The child must have been in vain. He’d tried so hard to help me come back.In fact, I think I was dimly aware of what he felt for me.Lee Shi-eon loves me, I’m sure. Otherwise, he wouldn’t help me so much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t call me so tenderly.Unless… You’re afraid I won’t come back to Korea, and you couldn’t hide the fact that my mom is dead. He finally admitted it when I pressed him.I’m angry at him for hiding the fact that my mom is dead.But when I look at him, I feel sorry for him, and I’m sorry for him. But I had to cut him off coldly. ‘Cause I’m not going back’ I didn’t want to torture hope anymore. I wanted him to forget me and move on with his life. <Get a grip, senior. You think anyone would recognize you for that?> I’m not asking them to recognize me. <Do you love that woman? You think she’ll recognize you?> I never asked her to recognize me. <Thank you! How would she feel if she knew you’re like a parasite in her daughter’s body?> Yes, I am a parasite. But Celine doesn’t know that. She just thinks her daughter has changed. <Do you think she will love you the way you are? You’re wrong, that’s just a trick.> <If you really love her, come back. Stop pretending to be her daughter.> That’s right, this is deception. And there’s no way back. In fact, even if there was a way, I didn’t want to go back. What would I have back in Korea?I’ve been here too long, really… long. Of course, the flow of time here and Korea is different and irregular, but 10 years here seems like a long time.I lost my family, my job, everything.Everything I had built up was gone. All I had left was Celine. It’s my job to protect her. So I’m not going back. I turned my back on Shi-eon’s cry that I was crazy. After that, I never visited the temple. I’m going to protect that poor woman now. … I wanted to protect her. But in the end I couldn’t keep it. “A disgusting thing. How can you deceive me and pretend to be my daughter…!”Celine, my mother found out. That I’m not Rose. So she left me. In the horrible Herthas. “Please don’t go…” Please don’t go, please. Don’t leave me. I don’t want to be here alone. I’m so afraid to be alone. Celine, please. “Mom….” Celine never looked back at me in her child’s shell. Wiping away the dripping tears, I reached out to grab her somehow. “Fake.” Her gaze fixed on me with hatred.I am. I’m fake.I know it. I know, but….I’ve been with her for 10 years. During those years, even knowing that I was wearing her daughter’s body, that’s enough time to be greedy for that position. When I possessed Rosie’s body, she was 10 years old.Which means. Isn’t being your daughter’s 10 years the same as her? Enough time for even selfish rationalizations. “I love you.” Ten years.Celine didn’t understand, but how could I not love you after ten years of living with your love?You shouldn’t have loved me. Don’t whisper to me that I’m the only one.Stop acting like I’m everything.Then I wouldn’t have loved Celine either.I knew the love was fake, but I still ended up drowning in it. “I love you. Please don’t go.” I begged her not to go, even if it meant being crushed.But Celine left me behind.Celine always love Rosie, her real daughter. It was the moment my stupid illusion that I had nothing in Korea, but at least I had her here, was shattered.My world is completely shattered and broken.What am I going to do now?I can’t even die?Why, why, why…! “Rose.” Dylan was the one who came to me back then. I liked that you hugged me while I was crying without a word. At that time, all I had left was you. I tried to fill the feeling of loss that the person I loved the most left with you. “You won’t leave me.” “….….” “Don’t you ever leave me.” You’re all I have.I can’t even die, and you’re all I have. “You’re all I have.” You really were everything to me back then, Dylan. And then you held on to me in the most desperate way. “There’s no way… I could leave you.” I must have ended up like this because I didn’t listen to Shi-eon’s advice. I’m so sorry, Dylan. I’m so sorry, Shi-eon. ***** Not again. Another strange memory… The headache didn’t go away. “Sister, are you okay?” Then a familiar voice called out to me. “We’ve been kidnapped, so wake up quickly.”What?
