Villainesses in Romance Fantasy Become Obsessed

27. Cold Burning North (1)

27. Cold Burning North (1)

Throbbing body pain.

The moment I opened my eyes with bandages all over my body.

The first thing I heard was shock itself.

“My, I set the food storage on fire… !”

“What?”

Set the food storage on fire?

Why?

What do you think?

I’m going crazy.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I got a headache.

‘I don’t know how many days have passed… What happened while I was unconscious?’

To the question of how much time had passed, Yuri answered.

“A day… ! I set a fire in the night… And all, good luck! Come to your senses quickly… !”

Still, it was quick to come to my senses.

I asked in a voice cracked with thirst.

“Why did you start the fire?”

Pure question.

We can starve to death, so why set fire to the food storage?

Her answer was simple.

“Because I have to take revenge… You made me, my friend Damian sick… Of course I must avenge… If not me, who will… ?”

The red eyes of Yuri who said that were deeply sunken.

No matter how you look at it, Yuri’s words were sincere.

‘To avenge what I was beaten by Ibasten… They set fire to the food storage… ‘

That good glass set fire…

Do you have a personality that doesn’t think about the back?

Well, all the bad girls have a personality that shows extreme behavior.

There is some truth to Yuri’s actions.

Nevertheless, ‘Why? There were still questions like ‘why?’.

But I can’t understand all of Yuri’s thoughts.

“Okay, for me… You got revenge for her friend… “

She just decided to pretend to understand.

Encouraged by my words, Yuri nodded her head and said.

“Ugh, yes! I got my revenge… ! But, because Damian was beaten because of me… I got my revenge… ! Mi, I’m sorry… !”

“No, it’s okay. There is no one else to apologize to me. It’s not your fault. Could you lift me up for a second, Yuri?”

“Oh, okay! Believe me!”

Fluttering-

Yuri lifted me from the bed and made me walk carefully on her floor.

Judging from the pain in her legs and shoulders, it seemed that she would need Yuri’s help for a while.

“Uh, where do you want to go… ? Believe me… ! Since you’re my friend, I’ll help you… !”

“… Let’s walk down the aisle for a while. I want to know the situation outside.”

“Yes… !”

Yuri helped me wholeheartedly.

I lent her a shoulder when she had no crutches, and became my hand when her arm was sore.

It was a bit inconvenient because he tried to help me with such a burden.

Seeing Yuri’s heart, I decided not to speak out about her discomfort.

“People are cluttered. You move around a lot.”

“My, it’s because I started the fire… ! Well done… ?”

No, not that well.

Yuri had a proud expression on her face as if she had succeeded.

She’s nice, but she might be dumber than I thought.

‘Still, what is good? Better than bad.’

With Yuri’s help, she arrived at the lobby of her mansion, where a war was going on.

“When I checked, all the food was burnt to ashes… Apparently, someone set fire to it yesterday.”

“Well, then what are we going to do! Who’s going to get food in this cold winter!? Off guard! There were no guards?!”

“There are two of them, but… Wait, those guys are away… “

“Ahh!! What did you do to clear your seat!!!”

Irnia was furious and shouted at the guard.

The janitor at the food store closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, as if she was afraid.

In the chaos, Ivasten stood firm and kept her seat.

“Why are you leaving your seat!! Therefore!!”

“That, that… I can’t explain with my own mouth… “

“Just tell me!!”

Irnia screaming and pressing hard.

Iva Sten, who had been watching her, opened her tightly closed mouth.

“Tell me why there was no security.”

“That, that… “

“If you don’t tell me, I will kill you.”

At the words of Ibasten, the manager said in fright.

“Two, two kites have eyes for each other… !! Hey, he said he was away for a while to deal with it… !!”

“… It seems that the North has been very peaceful all this time. To think that useless emotions are trying to sprout.”

Ibasten reached out to the caretaker.

The position of her hand is the caretaker’s neck.

Wooddeuk-

With the sound of something breaking, the caretaker’s body fell to the floor.

“Bring those two bastards. The food that was collected was unavoidable. It cannot be brought from another territory.”

“Then what do you do, father!? Are we starving to death!?”

“No.”

You just need to bring the local people’s food.

“Young Ji-min is ours anyway. Don’t bring food at once. And if we find the culprit of this arson… “

Poof-

‘Did you find out what you were looking at?’

Ibasten looked at the stairs I was standing on and said.

“I will not kill you easily. I will make it as painful as possible. Go ahead and start your investigation.”

“N, yes!”

At Ibasten’s command, the soldiers of the mansion moved busily.

It’s probably only a matter of time before Yuri is caught as the culprit if the investigation starts properly.

“Uh, what should I do… ? Because of my fault, the people of the territory… “

I spoke as I held Yuri’s hand as his face turned pale.

“Glass.”

“Ugh… why… ?”

“Let’s run away.”

As time draws nearer, the only thing left for us as death approaches.

That was the only way.

***

I told Yuri to run away.

Contrary to what was said, it was not easy to leave this mansion.

Because the arson incident made the lax guards nervous, and Ibasten was looking at us as suspects.

‘Even though there are overflowing feelings, there is no physical evidence, so I haven’t touched it yet.’

I will soon find the physical evidence.

Even so, if the culprit didn’t come out for a long time, it was clear that they would just beat us like last time.

If physical evidence does not come out, of course there is no choice but to move on to psychological evidence.

I let out a sigh of relief.

“Haa… I didn’t come to the North for this.”

Things are so messed up.

I never imagined that Ibasten would be such a madman, and I never dreamed that Yuri’s condition would be more serious than in the novel.

It was my fault for not considering the characteristics of the novel as a medium.

“If I don’t describe it in detail, what will they say to me? If you do, you won’t be able to plan with precision.”

No matter how useless it is, it is said that it is an era to throw away descriptions.

If Yuri is in such a serious environment, I’ll write a little more specifically.

It’s been a long time since I’ve done such a lament alone.

The situation didn’t improve at all, only my heart felt a little relieved.

“Still, I think we should take a good look at Yuri’s mental state.”

That’s a bit precarious lately though.

After the arson of Yuri’s food store.

The mansion lost all its food and fell into starvation.

The cold and frozen atmosphere lasts for a while, and everyone who hasn’t had a full stomach is on edge.

‘Because the soldiers who said they would bring food for Yeongjimin are getting late… ‘

If we go on like this, wouldn’t a big incident happen?

Since I was lying in bed and treating my injured body, only these negative thoughts filled my head.

Kikki-

“I’m here… ! Damian… !”

“Welcome, Yuri.”

The door opens and the glass comes in.

I turned her head towards her and checked her face.

‘This time too.’

Her face is scarred.

The wound on her cheek, as if someone had hit her with a fist.

Is Irnia relieving her stress by hitting Yuri?

Yuri held back her pain, showed her smile, and handed me the bread from her hand.

“Mmm, I brought something to eat… ! It’s bread… ! Let’s share… !”

Do not eat.

Even after seeing Yuri’s injured face, I wasn’t broken enough to enjoy the bread.

I pushed Yuri’s hand away.

“… No you eat are you okay. I am not hungry.”

“Poetry, I hate it… ? Sorry… Well, I still like to eat… ! That way wounds heal faster… !”

“… I’ll eat later if I’m hungry. Eat you today.”

Because it is valuable food.

I held back the emptiness I felt in her stomach and pushed the bread onto Yuri.

She looked at her bread with her wistful look on her face and set the half of the bread on her desk.

“If you’re hungry later, be sure to eat… ! I can’t even eat properly because of me… Mi, I’m sorry… !”

Yuri apologizes to me 90 degrees.

As I lay down on the bed, I spoke into the back of her head.

“Yuri. I’ve said it since the last time Please don’t apologize.”

“Yeah, but it’s my fault… “

It is Yuri’s fault that this situation came about.

However, the reason why Yuri committed her arson is Ibasten’s fault.

Yuri, who is still young, doesn’t have to apologize.

Ivar Sten is responsible for all of her actions.

“It’s not about apologizing between friends, Yuri. You don’t have to apologize to me.”

“Yes… ? Ah Okay… If Damian is uncomfortable, I won’t do it from now on… Um, sorry… “

“Another apology.”

“Yeah, that’s right… ! Sorry… !”

Sorry already stuck to her mouth.

Because of her own fault, her young people are being exploited, so her self-esteem seems to have gone down a lot.

It’s okay for the people in the mansion to suffer for ignoring the glass, but I’m quite concerned about the suffering of the villagers who have nothing to do with it.

‘Still, I can’t pick up what has already happened. I don’t have the strength to do that.’

This is something that cannot be done now.

However, she can help Jimin Yeong if he just escapes this northern part.

It is said that it is possible not to give Yuri a great sense of guilt.

After finishing her thoughts, I woke up alone in bed.

“May I help you, Damian… ?”

“No, it’s okay. I can walk alone now.”

Although the speed is slow.

This should be fine.

Enough to run away.

I opened the drawer of the shelf and took out the ointment.

Then, ointment was applied to Yuri’s injured face.

Yuri said ashamed to close her eyes.

“Damian… It’s close and it’s tickling… “

“Be patient. And, glass.”

“Yes. Why… ?”

“Didn’t you say you brought a kitchen knife from the kitchen?”

“Ugh… I hid it in my room… “

Ointment is all applied.

I said while tidying Yuri’s hair.

“Today, I will visit you in the evening. I am ready and waiting.”

“… Are you going to do it today? Now, Damian will be hurt if he gets caught… Are you okay… ?”

“It’s okay.”

Even if you stay still, it doesn’t change that you get hurt.

If I don’t run away, there’s a high chance I’ll die.

‘My life and the lives of my family come first. The second is the rehabilitation of the wicked woman.’

From the moment I was born, in order of my importance.

I’m leaving the mansion with Yuri today.

The odds of success were less than half.

Nevertheless, I had to.

***

“Are you ready?”

“Ugh, yes… ! I’m ready… !”

Kwaak-

Yuri holding my hand nervously.

He has a bad expression and is trembling with fear.

Nevertheless, you hold my hand and try to rely on me somehow.

‘If my life is in danger, I have to let go of this hand, but… ‘

Can’t let go.

I can’t seem to let go.

Currently, Yuri, who is hanging from a cliff, is holding my hand and barely holding on.

Knowing that, I felt like I could never abandon her.

“… Give me the cleaver, Yuri.”

“Oh, okay. So here… !”

Tak-

I had a cleaver in my hand.

My shoulder hurt from the arrow that hit me the other day and Ibasten’s beating.

Today I can wield this cleaver at someone else.

‘It’s best if that doesn’t happen.’

If that was easy, then Yuri wouldn’t be in the northern mansion.

I walked cautiously down the hallway, soaked in the cold temperature of the evening.

Hold Yuri’s hand slowly.

“… The person in front be careful.”

“Joe, I’ll be careful… Um, but Damian… I have a question… “

Are you suddenly asking a question at this moment?

However, Yuri’s expression was quite serious, so I decided to go after hearing the question.

“What is your question?”

“That, that… Damien is… Why do you do this for me… ? I could die… It’s because you’re friends with me… ?”

Yuri’s question was valid.

Her behavior must be very strange to her.

Even if you’re her friend, she’s not good at risking her life like this.

‘Although it’s a little strange that Yuri, who committed her arson, asks.’

It would be better if I answered and then went.

Hide the truth that needs to be hidden, and wrap her words beautifully.

Hiding my purpose and sympathy, I stared into Yuri’s face and said,

“We are not just friends.”

“We… not friends… ?”

“No, don’t try to cry. I don’t mean that.”

Always stuck together, always talking together, always holding hands.

This kind of friend who is always together…

“You are best friends. That’s why you move so boldly. Even at risk of life. You set the fire to avenge me too, Yuri.”

“Ugh… to get revenge… “

“I did it because you consider me to be your best friend. Do you understand now?”

Friends.

That’s a best friend.

A mysterious relationship that can’t develop any further.

Is Yuri upset by my words?

She couldn’t contain her laughter.

“Ehehehe… I see… Because we’re best friends… I think best friends are good… !”

“Yes, best friends are like that. A relationship that you want to go further. So, shall we focus on escaping now?”

Because there is no time and the sooner the better.

At my words, Yuri vigorously nodded her head.

And I was moved immediately by her answer.

With her cleaver in her hand.

“Stay still, if you make noise or do anything strange, it will sting you.”

Putting a cleaver on the waist of the guard holding the lamp, I said with a will to kill.

“Move carefully and go to the stable. And… “

Go while spraying oil from the lamp on the floor.

The oil will burn and cause a commotion.

And in the meantime, we escape on horseback.

‘It’s a cold winter, so the risk is high, but… ‘

If I live, if Yuri doesn’t become a villain, if she doesn’t slaughter the people of the North.

This is the only way.

That’s it, one more time.

We set the mansion on fire.

***

Yuri grabbed my waist on the horse.

Looking back, Yuri said in a tone that was subdued by the burning light.

“Maybe because we’re best friends… She set fire to the same… hahahaha… “

Still, he seemed to be in a good mood after coming out of that hellish mansion.

It’s still too early to let your guard down.

“The mansion… I wish everything would burn… “

It’s impossible to burn everything because it’s snowing.

Yuri prayed that that hellish place would burn.

‘It’s more like hell when it burns.’

The burning thing looked exactly like hell.

So, I left the mansion enduring the pain in my shoulder.

Escape from the North is still a long way off.
