I Met The Male Lead In Prison-Chapter 234
The Rose’s truth (2)
“But unfortunately, there is only one story she has ever completed. It’s a story about catching my father in the middle and hacking it to pieces. Am I called the villain there?”
I’m not interested in the past or the truth that man talks about. It was only because of time that I listened to Chaser’s words.
“By the way, Iana. By the way, don’t you ever think it’s weird?”
At that moment, Chaser’s tone changed.
“I am not the Blue Rose. But how could I use the power of the Blue Rose?”
“…… Your sister must have given you strength. No, I heard she gave it to you.”
“Yes. Iana. Isn’t that strange?”
I don’t know what he means by strange. That’s why I gave it a rough answer. I wanted to set the tone appropriately. I clearly felt the power inside Ricdorian, which was gradually accelerating and filling up. Yes, just a little more. I can endure it.
“Time and space is the ultimate power allowed only to the Blue Rose, so why can I use it? I was in doubt. Being able to transcend time with the power of the Blue Rose.”
However, Chaser’s words forcefully held me back as I tried to pass them by. No, I just couldn’t pass it.
“I finally figured it out. This world was already collapsing, and this was because the child who gave me strength is gone.”
The situation wasn’t so bad. Unfortunately, my heart skipped a beat.
“At one time, the Blue Rose was the center of the world, and it was a piece of God, so the ripple they made was just ridiculous. But this nonsense was true.”
Chaser’s words sounded absurd, but on the other hand, my unconscious mind found evidence. The source of the roses that the Empress had been talking about, the story of a piece of God that had risen to a ridiculous level. And even their huge and mysterious power that goes beyond dimensions.
Wouldn’t this kind of power be possible to affect the world in the end?
“As a result, only the Blue Rose could use the power of the Blue Rose. The result was a world collapsing.”
Why, at this moment, does the crushed, shapeless Black Rose of that tombstone come to mind?
“I summoned you here. I thought that bringing another Blue Rose from another place would stop the crumbling world from collapsing even more.”
Chaser grinned.
“And that was an illusion. So, now I’m thinking of returning it back to its original state.”
“…… You’re going to let the world collapse?”
“Yes.”
The facts that I had already known and the shocking story intersected. Yet, why doesn’t my anxiety go away?
“Ha, what kind of contradiction is that? Even if it’s to save the collapsed world, you’re the one who brought me here! And now you’re going to expel me?”
Glancing from the side, there were noticeably reduced shadows. The excellent and competent roses were steadily reducing them. Contrary to my expectations that they would be at a disadvantage as time passed, they were showing outstanding abilities instead.
At this rate, we may be able to seize the victory. I bet it is.
Chaser’s lips opened softly.
“Expelling you is just returning you to your original state. Now I want you to return.”
“So, why now…….”
“To go back before I die.”
The voice that could not stand it and tried to spit out stopped just like that.
“Because this world, which I supported with my life, has reached its limit.”
“What nonsense is that?”
I tried hard to stay calm. What does he mean? That man is dying? Support the world? It was too strange to be something I misheard. But I believed the fact that the man never lied to me.
So…… if all is true.
“I can no longer support the world in place of the Blue Rose.”
“You have me!”
“Look in front of your eyes, Iana. Why is that slate empty when you are here?”
“…….”
Even I couldn’t have not known. Obviously, even after I woke up, the center of the stone slate was still empty.
“You are the Blue Rose, but you are not the Blue Rose of this generation and this time. Because I forced you to.”
“When did you……. When did you know about this? Why, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Yes…… I didn’t love you at first.”
Chaser strode forward.
“After loving you, I tried to find a way.”
For some reason, it reminded me of his periodic absence from Domulit. When I asked where he was going, he always had a secret smile on his face.
“In the end, when I realize that there is no use even if you appear and that there is no way to prevent the collapse…… I just wanted to own you. Until I die.”
A blade of wind passes right next to my cheek. He reached out and took my hand, but he couldn’t do anything.
“This world is already collapsing fast.”
His Blue Power didn’t hurt me. The sharp blue energy was really the power of the same Blue Rose as mine.
“The power of the Blue Rose that I was forcibly granted and my power. In addition, I brought the guardian deity of the Red Rose, but it was not enough.”
At that moment, I thought of Pudding. Compared to other guardian deities, it was late in growing and seemed unusually weak. Pudding’s growth was slow……. Was it because it was taken away?
“In history, the Blue Rose never dies even though it may be imprisoned. It lived its own life and died. Iana. Death is always natural, without suicide or homicide.”
The wind stirs.
“At least a long time ago, the roses knew instinctively. That the Blue Rose plays a very important role in the world. Of course, they don’t die easily, but there was a reason they should never die.”
Chaser lowered his head and smiled softly.
“Though she died because of my foolish father.”
At this moment, I felt Ricdorian’s power was complete. It’s not long before all the curses are lifted. A feeling of life rose in my chest. It was a contradictory situation.
“If someone else uses the power of the Blue Rose, the world cannot be maintained like when the Blue Rose did it. So, when I supported the world in place of the Blue Rose, my lifespan was used.”
He casually confessed.
“Still, I thought I would live a little longer because I’m on the strong side, but that wasn’t the case either.”
That look overlapped with the sly look I saw the day I got out of prison. I couldn’t believe it, so my anger rose.
“I’m going to die anyway. When I found out about this before meeting you, I wasn’t impressed at all. It was natural to me. Iana.”
A sweet voice pierced my ears as if this voice was the treasure that God had handed over to this man.
“…… Then why did you bring me?”
“It would be nice if the world would end like this. According to the pact, I tried to do it like a game. To bring a rose from another world.”
My voice was full of confusion.
“I intended to imprison the Blue Rose I summoned and use it to support the world.”
He casually confessed that he tried to use me as a tool.
“After I brought you in, I knew that if I used you as a tool, you wouldn’t last long either. You’re the same Blue Rose, but why? I don’t know why, but this world probably had to be without her. At that time, I thought it wouldn’t matter if you died.”
Regret, doubt, and a faint resentment passed across Chaser’s smooth face. Chaser stared blankly at the hand that held me and slowly blinked his eyes.
“I thought it wouldn’t matter if you died with me someday, too.”
His voice grew smaller and fainter.
“But I fell in love with you. That was the biggest variable in my life.”
He smiled bitterly.
“Should I take you like this, endure as much as I can, and then die together? Or, I was wondering if I would just keep this to myself and send you back when I die.”
Why didn’t you tell me about this in Domulit?
“You know this all along but……. Didn’t tell me?”
I’m not asking because I don’t understand what he’s saying. Rather, my voice trembled because I understood. Even when he spoke as if he would give his life desperately, he did not say the most important thing.
“As you know, I am on my own.”
The man who hides the truth even if he doesn’t lie. He was selfish to the end.
“What is your name?”
Chaser didn’t answer my question. Like he wasn’t saying it on purpose. I just stared at him while holding his hand, Chaser looked down and looked like he was about to cry.
“…… Are you trying to tell me that I don’t deserve to hear it?”
I finally understood the meaning of the Black Rose, which was crushed and crumbled in the tombstone and whose shape was unrecognizable. Did he say that he wanted a story in which the deceased ‘Iana’ was the main lead? If this whole world is a huge prison created by this man. Then originally, the man that ‘Iana’ will meet must have been the male lead in this prison-like world.
It was just funny.
This complicated, twisted and distorted relationship.
Unreal forces. In the end, the ends of the tangled threads seemed to point only to destruction, and wild emotions rushed in.
“Go back. To your world.”
I was still full of incomprehensible things. Why? Why did this huge world collapse without a single Blue Rose?
But, on the other hand, I knew the answer.
There was once a country for her, and even a temple to worship her. This wasn’t meant for the average person. I inherited that power.
“You missed it.”
It’s a crazy world.
My usual indifferent and calm appearance was nowhere to be found, and I faced him with a messed up look.
“How do you know that?”
My voice took a lot of rest for a short time and was no longer the same as usual.
“Your memory was always shouting it.”
I felt that the power connected to Ricdorian was fading little by little.
“Because I’ve seen you happy in your world.”
The man who forcibly brought me to this world and took away my memories said so. It couldn’t have been more disgusting. In the end, the resentment that I had endured and that I did not want to explode in the end burst like a bomb.
“Ha, come again now?”
