How to Run Away from Obsessed Men

Chapter 20

“Raysis Kesion?”

The person holding Kenyan back was Raysis. He flashed a picturesque smile at Kenyan.

“Sir Kenyan. Is there a problem?”

“......”

“Considering that Sir Azhet and Lindsey are about to annul their engagement, this doesn’t seem appropriate.”

“Come to think of it, I can’t just agree to the annulment so easily.”

“Well, I’ve heard the ridiculous demand. It was absurd.”

“......”

“I will go instead of Lindsey. She is my sister, after all.”

Kenyan glared at Raysis in disbelief.

“What we need from your family isn’t a transcendent. It’s a priest who can use divine power.”

Kenyan moved past Raysis and approached Lindsey.

Lindsey looked up at him with a frown. He was so close that she could almost hear his breathing.

“I need to go with Lindsey Kesion.”

What is he trying to pull? Lindsey sighed.

Kenyan throwing tantrums was nothing new.

He was a man who acted according to his whims.

And his whims usually prevailed. He never faced consequences for his impulsive actions.

He was someone who could get away with it. Kenyan Redian. Just hearing his name made people tremble.

How many difficulties could he have faced in life?

“In that case...”

“......”

“If I follow your orders, go there, and complete the mission, will you finally agree to the annulment? Without any further objections?”

It wasn’t Kenyan who answered Lindsey’s question, but Raysis. He looked at Lindsey as if she had said the most ridiculous thing in the world.

“Are you crazy? Do you even know what that place is like? Have you ever seen a monster?”

I have. I’ve seen them more times than I can count.

As a guide, monsters were what she saw daily.

“You’ve barely awakened your divine power. Do you think you can handle seeing monsters and still be able to move?”

“......”

“Even transcendent beings who have been trained since childhood struggle with it. Don’t be overconfident.”

“I told you.”

Lindsey shot back at Raysis.

“You know nothing about me. If I say I’m going, then I’m going. Don’t tell me what to do.”

Raysis rubbed his forehead.

“Really...”

He seemed about to say something but then closed his mouth when he saw Lindsey’s face.

Instead, he turned to Kenyan.

“Alright, we understand. We’ll be leaving now. As you can see... someone is injured.”

Kenyan’s gaze shifted to Lindsey’s ankle. Now that he noticed, she seemed to have been uncomfortable with her ankle since earlier.

Raysis thought Kenyan wouldn’t let them go easily. But Kenyan’s reaction was strange. He stared at Lindsey’s ankle for a long time before nodding his head without protest.

It was a trivial matter that others would have simply overlooked. But Raysis felt something strange.

‘He probably felt a minimum sense of responsibility.’

Responsibility towards the guide who had stopped his rampage. Espers often felt this.

Lindsay tried not to attach any special meaning to his actions. It was just a temporary phenomenon that happened after guiding.

But... then what about his words saying he didn’t need guiding anymore?

‘He’s never been healed without pain until now. How could he say he doesn’t need guiding?’

Lindsay snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Crain’s voice. Crain grabbed her shoulders firmly and said,

“If you complete this mission successfully, you can return to the Marquisate of Kesyon, Lindsay. You can fully return here.”

His words were full of conviction.

He truly believed Lindsay wanted to return to the Kesyon Marquisate.

As if the idea of her running away had never crossed his mind.

“Rosalyn is there, too. You can rely on each other and succeed in the mission. She will guide you well.”

“Rosalyn?”

“Yes, you will feel at ease with her. Rosalyn is kind to everyone.”

At his words, Lindsay nodded slightly. As expected, Crain knew nothing about her.

Truly, nothing at all.

Lindsay thought of Rosalyn. Specifically, the look in Rosalyn’s eyes, full of contempt, when no one else was watching.

Rosalyn, who was kind to everyone, was not kind to Lindsay.

Lindsay was heading to the northern monster subjugation site in a carriage. In front of her sat Raysis and Mikhail.

‘Raysis and Mikhail.’

It was truly a suffocating combination. Mikhail was there because he was following the orders of the Kesyon Marquis. She turned her gaze to Raysis.

He kept looking at Lindsay with a face full of discontent.

Why on earth did he come along?

‘He said we wouldn’t see each other again.’

Ever since he said that, she had seen him even more often.

He didn’t need to participate in the mission, so why did he come?

Besides, didn’t Raysis still think she was the one who tried to steal and lost his mother’s keepsake?

Receiving Lindsay’s gaze, Raysis smiled again.

“Kenyan Radian is really the worst choice.”

What nonsense. Raysis had been talking nonsense a lot lately. When did she ever choose Kenyan?

“What?”

“Surely you aren’t thinking of marrying him?”

“What does that have to do with you?”

“A huge scandal will break out. Breaking off the engagement with Ajet Radian and then choosing Kenyan Radian?”

Lindsay glared at him with disgust.

“Is that really where your thoughts go?”

“What?”

“Kenyan Radian and I are nothing to each other.”

“Then why does Kenyan Radian look at you like that?”

“Do you know why?”

Lindsay said as she approached Raysis. Her hand touched Raysis’s shoulder.
