146. The Wicked Woman and Menhera (4)
146. The villain and Menhera
Possessiveness.
Everyone has a desire for possessions.
The only difference is the size.
People unconsciously have a desire to own something.
From that perspective, Nadia wants to own ‘me’.
Even the scale of that desire is unfathomable.
“Damian. No matter how much people around us are against our marriage, we will get married. “I will have what I want at any cost.”
Nadia sat right in front of me and raised the corners of her mouth.
“If you die in the future, I will have you before you die. Even if you live, live by my side, and if you die, die in my hands.”
Nadia spit out her harsh words as if nothing had happened.
While stroking the engagement ring on my ring finger.
Putting another ring on my ring finger.
“I prefer the future where you die. “Time with you is more important right now.”
Nadia seemed to be tying me down even more than I am now.
‘I’m crazy… I don’t think the conversation will work… ‘
She didn’t want to die, so she tried to ask Nadia for help.
Nadia thought that her own possessiveness took precedence over helping me.
Nadia was that kind of person from the beginning.
A person who puts his or her own desires first over the words of others.
With the news that I am dying, that desire is just being expressed more blatantly.
“Nadia… “
“Yes, tell me. “Damian.”
“I thought things had changed a bit recently… “I guess it was my mistake.”
Unfortunately.
I lowered the hand that Nadia had been caressing.
I desperately need Nadia’s help to increase my chances of survival.
“I’m sorry, Nadia.”
“Are you sorry?”
“Please pretend I never said anything about help.”
“What?”
If you stay with Nadia, your chances of survival increase.
However.
The probability of being kidnapped, tied up, or killed also drops dramatically.
Therefore, she decided not to accept her help.
I shook off Nadia’s hand, turned around and headed towards her door.
“I will go and think about the solid basis for what you said. I’m resting. “I’m sorry for taking up your time.”
Then, Nadia’s trembling voice came from behind her.
“… “You don’t need my help right now, Damien?”
“I need your help.”
“But why are you asking me to pretend that there was no mention of help?”

I answered that question straight away with my thoughts.
“Now… “Because I don’t think it will help you.”
Boom!
I came out, slamming the door like a whining child.
I didn’t feel very good.
‘Was I wrong in thinking that things would change? ‘Is it wrong for Nadia to not change?’
Thinking meaningless thoughts, I walked down the hallway and returned to my room.
I didn’t have much time to obsess over such thoughts.
***
After Damien left.
Nadia looked at the tightly closed door and muttered.
“I don’t think I can help…” ?”
Damian doesn’t need my help?
Her words shocked Nadia quite a bit.
“Why? “Damian doesn’t need me?”
Nadia couldn’t understand Damian’s words.
“I have outstanding intelligence, great strength, and the family name of Duke. “Why doesn’t Damian need my help?”
I don’t understand.
I need Damien so much.
Damian doesn’t need me?
“Why on earth?”
Nadia racked her brain and tried to find a reason.
However, no matter how much she thought, she could not find the reason.
“I want to have a happy time with Damian before he dies… It’s not your fault… “
Nadia does not know how to think of others.
Nadia, who lacked understanding of people, did not know what her fault was.
“Why doesn’t Damien need me…? ?”
Because I couldn’t learn before my brain hardened.
She just spat empty words into the air.
***
In the end, Nadia’s persuasion failed.
She had no choice.
Nadia’s purpose and mine are similar, but the essence is different.
It could also be seen as a predicted result.
“The problem was that I couldn’t come up with a clear solution.”
If my life is in danger, I will save it.
It seemed better not to expect much help from Nadia.
In that sense, her thoughts about Nadia are over.
“I need to talk to Yuri… “Where did he go again?”
Although he doesn’t usually have a presence.
It is not even visible to the eye now.
“Where on earth is Yuri, what is he doing-“
“You called my name, Damien… ?”
“Wow, I’m surprised.”
Where did this guy come from again?
Yuri came out from the side where I had not even noticed it.
When Yuri saw my surprised appearance, she burst out laughing.
“hehehe… I… I surprised Damian… “
He looked somewhat depressed, but at the same time seemed to be in a good mood.
I asked, stroking Yuri’s head.
“Yuri.”
“Ugh… ?”
“Can you help me-“
“Of course… ! Of course I have to help… !”
“… “
I haven’t even brought it up yet.
Yuri said he would help me, she shouted.
I laughed while looking at that glass.
“You are so consistent, too.”
“Ugh… ? What are you talking about… ?”
“No, just talking to myself. Rather than that, shouldn’t you listen to an explanation?”
You need to hear an explanation to understand what the situation is.
I told Yuri the story I shared with Bluebell.
Now that we know about inevitability, we know about the probability of escaping from it.
Yuri quietly listened to my story, timidly raised her hand and expressed her opinion.
“I also thought about that death… Yes, I can listen to you… ?”
Yuri: I have my own thoughts.
Yuri has grown a lot internally.
I smiled warmly and nodded at her.
“Of course I listen. “What are you thinking?”
“Well, that’s it… “
“Yes.”
“It’s not that I’m a cruel person… just… I was just thinking about it in my head… “
“Oh, tell me.”
Yuri glanced at me and cautiously opened his mouth.
“A suspect worthy of killing Damien…” How about killing them all… ?”
“Huh?”
“To prevent them from killing Damian… If you kill everyone else… I don’t think Damian will die… “
“… Uh?”
Yuri’s timid opinion was truly shocking.
I kill everyone who would kill me.
If I do that, I won’t die.
Logically, it is a perfect structure.
In fact, the probability that I will not die also increases.
But.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to kill an innocent person, Yuri.”
No matter how much I want to live, I don’t want to kill many people.
Yuri smiled sheepishly and scratched his head at my answer.
“Yeah, right…” ? hehehehe… Actually, I thought it wasn’t like Damian said… “
“Really?”
“Well, Damian… I don’t think I should kill innocent people either… “
But.
“If it really doesn’t work out in the end…” I don’t think it’s a bad idea to use this method… Everyone except Damian… Because I can’t believe it… “
“… “
No matter how you look at it, Yuri seems to have truly thought this way.
‘Yuri has grown, but the direction seems a little strange… ‘
Are past events holding Yuri back?
Although Yuri did grow, the direction of his growth was a bit strange, perhaps due to his distrust of humans.
“For now, don’t keep that opinion in your head, Yuri. Got it?”
“Once you understand, Damien… “
“Okay, thank you for telling me you would help me. Go and rest. I’ll call you if I need help. Got it?”
“Okay, Damien…” If you need help, please come to me… ! Call me… ! Got it… !?”
I patted Yuri’s head and said, ‘I understand.’
Yuri disappeared in an instant after hearing those words.
I felt like my appearance was being observed from somewhere.
“Because this is to protect me. Because it’s definitely not stalking… “
Good… Let’s not slander one glass.
Yuri self-suggested that he was not doing anything strange.
But why?
Do I feel like I have an unwashed, uneasy feeling?
‘… No, let’s just think about it here.”
She decided not to approach the useless truth.
Sometimes what you don’t know is medicine.
Thinking like that, I entered Bluebell’s room to have a strategy meeting.
Rumble-!
“I’m here.”
I didn’t bother knocking because it was inconvenient.
Bluebell was startled by the unexpected visit and shouted.
“Ugh, you crazy bastard!! “You don’t have to knock!!”
“What’s the point of knocking when you don’t have time? “You weren’t doing anything in particular.”
“That and this are different!! “What if I had been doing something?!”
“What can I do? “I guess that’s what I have to do.”
“You bastard!”
Bluebell grinned and got angry.
But, that is only for a moment.
I calmed down my emotions and got straight to the point.
“Hey, have you done everything to persuade me to help you?”
“I did it.”
“What is the result?”
“Nadia said I refused, and Yuri said she would help.”
In response to her answer, Bluebell touched her forehead and shouted again.
“Rejection?! Are you crazy because you really want to die?! “What’s the point of refusing help in this situation!!?”
“I’m going to die.”
“Noisy!! You just search!! Why did you refuse his help?!”
“Why did you reject it?” “
That’s it.
“You said you would help me. But, they say that marriage is a must at all costs. It felt like they were trying to imprison me. And, they say there is not enough evidence. Also, Nadia said that the time I spend being happy with her even if I die is more important than the time I waste trying not to die.”
“Crazy b*tch. “Did you deserve to refuse?”
Bluebell again quickly subdued her own feelings.
It was a little funny how it got hot and then quickly cooled down.
“But I understand a little bit what she’s saying.”
“What?”
Bluebell understands Nadia.
I took a step back.
“No, that’s not what I said. “I understand that it’s a waste of time you waste trying not to die.”
Just as there is a saying that enemies communicate with each other.
Bluebell sympathized with Nadia’s words.
“I think it would be better for me to live a short life moving around without treatment for an incurable disease, rather than a long life confined to the bedroom while receiving treatment for an incurable disease, right?”
“Then, like Nadia, you too…” “
“Si, what are you looking at me for? Do you want to search?”
But, I wonder if I truly sympathize with it in my heart.
Bluebell said, raising her fist non-threateningly.
“It’s just that I understand. I’m not going to do that. Because I will save you and give you a happy future. So, do well.”
Tong-
Bluebell gave me a slight smile and lightly punched my chest.
It felt very sturdy compared to her thin body.
However.
Boom!!
“Do, master!! “We’re in big trouble!!”
“What? “Why isn’t everyone knocking?”
The door suddenly opened.
And then, the attendant who appeared shouted urgently at us.
“The imperial family has appeared in person!! “You must run away immediately!!”
Imperial.
At the servant’s words, I checked outside through the tightly closed curtains.
“Crown Prince.”
He was standing at the main gate of the mansion.
Very dangerously.
