Harmless Obsession for the Captivating Male Lead

“Duke, get up. Come on!”

“Rose…?”

Llewellyn, who slowly raised his eyelids, looked at her and smiled absentmindedly.

In the midst of urgency, Rosenia was briefly speechless by his dazzling beauty.

Seeing him like that, Rosenia wondered if it was an illusion. He pulled her body into his arms when he saw her.

Kiss.

Only after Llewellyn kissed her cheek did she come back to her senses.

“Le, no, Duke. This isn’t the time. Come on, get up-.”

“Were you just about to call my name? Were you going to say Llewellyn?”

Asked Llewellyn with delight, but Rosenia ignored his words and stood up. Then, she took out new clothes from a bag and roughly threw it at him. It was the set of clothes she had bought on the first day he came to the villa.

“Quickly wash up and get dressed. Then leave here immediately.”

“What are you saying…”

Asked Llewellyn, holding the clothes in his hands as he blinked with a shocked look on his face. Soon, his eyes sparkled and he spoke.

“Your brother is back.”

“…That’s right. So you have to leave here.”

Rosenia sighed heavily. The ship must have docked at the port by now, so it won’t be long before Adrian arrives at the villa.

Adrian hates the Duchy of Rasiane. So Rosenia was certain he would go crazy if he saw the Duke of Rasiane, Llewellyn, at the villa.

Also, if he finds out the kind of relationship they have…Rosenia was frightened just imaging how wild Adrian would be. Therefore, she had to send Llewellyn back to his home.

“Hurry up and get dressed. Then leave this villa and go to the station. I’ll give you money for the train. Rather than calling your retainers, you’d be better off sneaking out. Adrian’s 6th sense is like a ghost…”

“Rose.”

Llewellyn called out to her in a heavy voice as she rapidly spoke.

Rosenia paused and looked at him. He was staring at her with a serious look on his face.

“You’re telling me to leave by myself? You’re staying here?”

“Of course…”

Answered Rosenia absentmindedly. Llewellyn sighed, stood up, and approached her. He was not wearing any clothes. Flustered, she flinched.

‘At least, get dressed first!’

Rosenia felt very shameless when she wanted to take a peek at his body glistening in the morning sun. As she turned her head away and felt her face burning, he gently pulled her chin towards him.

“Rose. As you know, I suffer from mana congestion quite often. So I need someone to connect with me to suppress it.”

His lighthearted tone was serious again. For some reason, Rosenia becomes tense when he begins to speak in such a courteous manner…No, come to think of it, she would always get tense in front of this guy. In various ways.

“I wish it to be only you who will suppress my mana congestion. I don’t want anyone else. Isn’t it the same for you? Are you sure you won’t mind if it was another woman?”

Another woman.

As soon as Rosenia heard those words, her body unknowingly stiffened. Her expression became cold and what was reflected in the window was anger.

Her blood turned cold and her hands and feet became petrified. Only her wildly fluctuating heart was hot.

At this moment, Rosenia was able to identify the emotion she felt without any difficulty. It was jealousy,

Or obsession, or anger. It became a fierce emotion as all of these negative emotions intertwined.

At such an unfamiliar feeling, Rosenia found it a little ridiculous. Thinking to herself that technically, Llewellyn Rasiane was the female lead Sierra’s man, not hers. However, it was none other than her who took him from her.

Naturally, that wasn’t her intention and it wasn’t her fault that Llewellyn liked her. In any case, she had shattered the original couple. She had to accept the results.

‘But jealousy…’

Rosenia was angry at the thought of Sierra Oscar, someone she doesn’t even know the face of, appearing one day and capturing Llewellyn and being held in his arms.

If that happens, although Rosenia didn’t want to, she knew her role was to step back. She was ashamed of herself. She knew Llewellyn Rasiane was a very dangerous existence, but what could she do? She didn’t want to give him up to another woman.

“…!”

Llewellyn flinched when she unconsciously hugged him. She was surprised by her action too, but she didn’t want to let him go as she held his waist.

“Rose…”

“…”

“As expected, you don’t want to either? You don’t want anyone else to hug me?”

Rosenia acknowledged his question with silence. He gently combed his fingers through her hair.

With tears in his eyes, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, cheek, and lips one after another. His lips curved into a loving smile.

“I don’t want to have sex with anyone other than you. So I can’t be away from you for even a second.”

Rosenia felt bewitched again by his seductively soft voice. But it wasn’t the time to be like this. Coming to her senses, she grabbed him by the wrist and dragged him to the bathroom. Turning on the faucet and filling the sink, she spoke.

“Wash and get dressed first. Hurry up.”

“Well…sure.”

While Llewellyn, who was modestly obedient, was washing and changing in the bathroom, Rosenia rushed to another bathroom, roughly washed her face and straightened her appearance.

Rosenia hoped Adrian wouldn’t suspect anything, however, when she looked in the mirror, she noticed a serious problem. Simply, it was the red marks Llewellyn had left all over her body.

‘Damn it…what am I supposed to do about this?’

There was no such magic to erase the kiss marks. Rosenia thought healing magic to treat bruises might work, but to do so, she needed to have divine power.

Rosenia had no divine power, so naturally, she couldn’t use divine magic. Therefore, the only way to hide these marks was to cover them up. In other words, she had to hide it beneath her clothes.

‘A lace dress with long sleeves and neck…I think I have a dress like that.’

Rosenia hurried up to the attic and searched the closet. The closet was ruined by Llewellyn being rough with her, but there was no time to organize it. Finally finding a lace dress, she quickly changed into it with a cheer of joy.

Standing in front of the mirror, dense laces covered her from the neckline to the shoulder and all the way to the wrist, and no red marks could be seen.

The dress came down to her ankles, so it covered the marks that Llewellyn had left inside her calves.

‘Why the hell did he even go after my calves…’

Regardless, after changing into the perfect dress and tying her hair neatly, she headed to the room where Llewellyn was.

When Rosenia arrived, he was sitting calmly on the couch waiting for her as if he was ready. She smiled because it looked exactly like a dog waiting for its owner.

Pushing away the nearby familiar who was clinging to her feet, she approached Llewellyn. Looking at her and smiling, he spoke.

“That dress looks good on you”

“I’m wearing it because of you.”

“Ah, you wanted to show me it?”

At his ridiculous delusion, she lifted an eyebrow and retorted.

“Adrian will freak out if he sees the traces you left on my body.”

“Ahah…”

Seeing Llewellyn narrowing his eyes, Rosenia thought it looked strange. However, she didn’t bother to understand his dark inner thoughts and brought up the main topic.

“We need an alibi for when Adrian arrives.”

“…An alibi for me?”

“You came to Brindos because you were worried about the South Sea, but collapsed at the sudden mana congestion, so I saved you by chance. But we only held hands and nothing else!”

“…”

Llewellyn looked at her with a disasistfied expression. Creasing his forehead, he spoke with great difficulty.

“So you and I, to be faithful to that alibi, will continue to hold hands from now on.”

“…!”

Never having thought of such a loophole, her eyes blinked widely in embarrassment. She couldn’t believe she would have to hold his hands…

‘That’s a little…’

“Rosenia.”

As Rosenia was agonizing over the grave situation, Llewellyn slowly stood up and reached out to touch her shoulder.

Before Rosenia knew it, their foreheads were against one another as he gazed into her eyes. As always, his body was much hotter than hers.

“Let’s just run away.”

“What?”

“I’m confident in my hiding ability. Why don’t we run away together?”

From his very serious expression, Rosenia couldn’t tell if he was joking or not. Although she felt a little bad for Adrian, it was quite a tempting proposal.

If Rosenia could run away from her crazy brother for at least a week…In many ways, she thought it’d be liberation…

‘Ah, but.’

It would be the same if Rosenia was with the crazy Llewellyn Rasiane.

‘Run away from one crazy guy just to be with another crazy guy?’

Thinking about it, Rosenia felt that her life was extremely unfortunate. She spent her childhood desperately trying to train a nutcase, and now that she has grown up, she couldn’t believe that she was stuck with another nutcase.

However, one was her brother, and the other was the man she fell in love with. So she couldn’t run away from the both of them forever.

‘Ha, my life.’

Rosenia wondered how it got so complicated. Exhaling a sigh of grief, she looked at Llewellyn and spoke.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea…”

Before Rosenia could finish speaking, the familiar suddenly began to bark. She easily recognized that it was a warning.

The familiar ran outside and kept barking. Adrian must have arrived at the villa. The clever familiar was deliberately pretending to welcome its owner. To hide the fact that it was bribed…

‘It’s clever.’

Since it had reached this point, Rosenia had no choice but to hide Llewellyn. She grabbed him by the wrist and approached her big closet.

Then, Rosenia quickly opened it and stuffed his large body inside. In the cramped and dark closet, he looked at her with a dumbfounded look.

“Rose…”

Cupping his cheeks, she quickly kissed him.

Kiss.

As soon as Rosenia let go, Llewellyn, whose eyes were wide open, blushed.

“Duke, you need to hide here for a bit. I’ll try to find an opening for you to run away.”

“…By myself?”

“…Let me think about it some more. Hide here for now. I’m sure Adrian will go crazy if he sees you.”

“…All right.”

Answered Llewellyn with a sigh of disapproval. Rosenia gave him one final hug before closing the closet.

Before the closet closed completely, the green eyes between the gap seemed to flash with a strange light.

‘Those lovely eyes.’

Rosenia had wondered why his eyes, which were seen through the gap of the closet, bothered her so much. She realized it was because the eyes that had been looking at her lovingly was gone.

There was a strange sense of uneasiness in the corner of her mind. She thought she could get Llewellyn out of here safely…

‘What is this sense of foreboding that the plan isn’t going to work?’

“Woof, woof!”

Whimper.

The familiar barked enthusiastically and waved its tail when the iron gate of the villa opened. Rosenia thought it was ridiculous that it pretended to be loyal to its owner who just returned when all along it had been bribed by mana balls.

Concealing her laughter, she looked beyond the iron gate. Jet-black shoes that were impeccably clean steadily stepped into the garden.

Raising her eyes a bit more, she saw Adrian, who wore a black monochrome suit, leather half gloves, and carrying a diamond-studded cane, tilting his head with a drowsy look.

His red eyes were still indifferent, but his pale lips drew an arc when he spotted her.

Adrian had very pale skin, so when he smiled like that, it was as if Death itself was smiling.

He held the cane loosely and spun it around as he slowly approached her. Trying to smile as naturally as possible, Rosenia greeted him.

“Hi, brother.”
