◈ Episode 487 Meeting (2)
bang!
Casey unknowingly shut the door.
“Isn’t it rude to close the door suddenly?”
Hearing the words from beyond the door, Casey opened the door again with a sigh.
“… … sister.”
Casey was surprised that he was standing at the right time as if he had waited, but he argued and asked about the situation, saying that it was good.
“What are you doing now?”
“What are you going to do? I have no idea what that means.”
“Don’t be fooled by knowing. Why was I assigned to the same room as me?”
“Isn’t that the only room here?”
“What?”
Casey frowned.
“The room I used to live in? That’s my private room.”
“there? Of course I cleaned it up.”
“Why are you cleaning up on your own!”
“Well, isn’t it a place that has been left empty for years because the owner of the ark didn’t even want to come back? Don’t you think it’s too counterproductive to have servants go in and clean up and tidy up every time such a place?”
“For just that reason?”
“It’s just that. For very good reasons.”
“I am a direct descendant of this family. No matter how much it is for the sake of the servant, such behavior crosses the line.”
“Brother, I am the head of household.”
Those words were tantamount to driving a nail into it telling them not to protest with their position.
Marias asked with a smile on her face.
“Why, don’t you like this place?”
Instead of talking, Casey stepped aside and pointed at Rudger.
“oh. Your fiancé was also with you. What a relief.”
“You’re not lucky. Why do I have to share a room with him?”
“I’m engaged, but don’t you mind?”
“Don’t you know that even if you’re a fiancée, there’s a line you have to keep?”
“They seemed to have a very special relationship, so I thought it would be okay, so I assigned them like this. The room is spacious, but there is nothing particularly uncomfortable about it.”
“That, it’s not that kind of problem!”
“If not… … Is there any other reason why you’re engaged and still have a hard time getting along?”
Even though the corners of her eyes were slightly bent, the smile that looked like a person turned into a heavier one, putting pressure on Casey’s psychology.
“Looking at it earlier, the two of you weren’t even talking sweetly, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong with getting married after going that far?”
“joy. Even so, sharing the same room is another thing. We haven’t even lived together yet, so I feel more burdened if I do this.”
“Shouldn’t you rather be thankful?”
“what?”
Marias lowered her voice so only Casey could hear.
“You, who have very high eyes, are the man you brought as your fiancé, so that means you like him that much, right? So, this older sister is trying to cheer me up on this opportunity.”
“Uh, what… … . Even if my sister doesn’t do it, I’ll take care of it, right?”
“You know. When?”
“Ah, okay. And he’s quick-witted, so do it in moderation. Don’t you know that if you try to force it further like that, you might end up falling apart even more?”
Marias didn’t answer.
Instead, he stared into Casey’s eyes to see if he was serious.
again
An action taken by a sister to determine if she is lying.
As a child, Casey couldn’t resist the look in her sister’s eyes, so she always confessed the truth.
‘But not anymore.’
The road she had walked so far was not easy to keep losing to her sister.
She is naturally gifted with great intellect and talent.
Over the past few years, he has undergone several major incidents and has grown greatly internally.
Casey met Marias’ gaze with her unwavering eyes.
Seeing that, Marias raised her eyebrows and drew an arc around her mouth.
Casey, who thought Marias would say arrogant, was puzzled by the joyous reaction.
“… … Anyway, change rooms.”
“I understand your position. It’s hard to change rooms though.”
“what? Did you hear me right?”
“Don’t look. It’s because you didn’t hear your sister.”
“But why?”
“There are no vacant rooms right now? Recently, the aging part of the mansion is being repaired, so there are not enough places to stay. In particular, the building where the servants stay had to be rebuilt entirely.”
“You can just tell them to commute.”
“There are not a few people who have worked full-time for our cellmore for decades. I don’t know about you, who neglected our family business.”
Casey was speechless at the sharp point.
Marias, as the head of the household, said that she would do this for the servants of the mansion, what could she say?
This was Casey’s weakness.
Casey, who had Selmore’s name and was immersed in detective work while wandering the world, had no reason to argue.
“Then have a nice day.”
“I’m not good at all because of you.”

Casey closed the door and fired at Marias, who was leaving.
If I didn’t do that, I felt like I would have to keep dwelling on this sense of defeat.
Suddenly, the door closed quietly.
Casey couldn’t get out of the door for a while.
It was also a battle of words with her sister, but she realized the reality that she had to share a room with Rudger right away.
“Anyway, it seems that you are still suspicious of us.”
Rudger had already intuited the appearances of Marias and Casey, so he glanced at the window and said.
The sky outside the window was still gloomy, but it looked like it was going to rain.
Casey also trudged along with a sigh and sat down on the bed.
It’s a top-notch bed because it feels so soft, but the fact that there’s only one king-size bed in the room made her feel heavy.
I don’t know anything else, but my head was complicated because I had to share a room with Rudger today.
“Now what?”
“I don’t know about anything else, but let’s try to sort things out in the future.”
“Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Casey glanced at Ludger, who was talking casually.
This one’s head is so complicated that it looks like it’s going to explode, but Rudger sitting on the sofa looks comfortable.
“Even if you get flustered here, nothing will change.”
“ah. okay? It’s so natural that you share a room with a woman, isn’t it really surprising?”
“Why did the story suddenly go that way?”
Ludgar looked back at Casey with a puzzled look.
“If it wasn’t for that, there’s no way I wouldn’t be nervous if I shared a room with a beauty like me.”
“I won’t deny that you are beautiful, but… … .”
Rudger smiled with a face that anyone could say laughed at.
“That’s why his personality doesn’t look attractive at all.”
“what?! What do you know about me!”
“You really don’t know that much about me. I say something as if it were obvious, but in the first place, I am also in this situation for the first time in my life.”
“what? It’s the first time. what?”
Casey asked with a face that didn’t hear.
“You can’t believe you shared a room with a woman?”
“Does that matter?”
“No, does that make sense? With that face?”
Rudgar frowned in displeasure.
“If anyone sees it, they’ll think I’m trusting my face and continuing to harass women. If you think of my situation in the first place, you know that I don’t have that kind of room, right?”
“Uh, um. sorry.”
Casey sincerely apologized.
Still, on the inside, I was quite surprised. With a face like that, I’ve been alone until now.
Even though I thought it was a waste of talent, I was oddly relieved.
‘What the hell am I thinking?’
Casey shook his head and shook his thoughts.
The important thing now was to evade Marias’s gaze and get along with each other.
“Now what? If unnie openly doubted us and pushed us into this, I think we should do something about it.”
“At first, I was curious about that. I thought it would end after meeting and chatting for a while, but if I go on like this, I think I’ll be arrested for a few days.”
“… … I thought it would end soon too. My sister doesn’t seem to let go until she’s convinced.”
“What if we just want to get out?”
“You know if you’ve mixed words with your sister a few times. I’m not one to give up just because of something like that. Would you rather be more persistent?”
“It hurts.”
Rudger shook his head in disgust.
“Still, it seems that the treatment of the older sister as the younger sister is quite special. Was she good?”
“Are you good? What’s wrong with your eyes? My sister is anxious because she couldn’t eat me.”
“It doesn’t look like that at all. Well, I know that my personality is a bit twisted, so the way I express it is wrong.”
“I think it’s because you didn’t know in the first place. What do you think caused my rat phobia?”
Casey had nothing to fear in the world, but the only thing she was afraid of was mice.
A genius detective who is perfect in everything else is afraid of mice.
It was strangely funny, but it was also a difference that made me curious about the reason.
“If you look at the context, could it be that your sister did it?”
“It was my childhood. I play hide and seek with her sister, because her sister is the tag. I hid in a box in the family cellar. You’ll never find it here. But my sister easily found me like that.”
Casey shuddered as if he was sick of it when he remembered that time.
“But you know what is absurd? Even though she knew I was hiding there, she didn’t say she found me. Instead, I caught a few rats that had sneaked into the cellar and put them in my box.”
The ignorant little kid suddenly got tangled up in a dark box with rats.
It was natural for trauma to occur.
“There was no crying or fuss. Some of my hair was ripped off by a rat, and the dress I loved was torn. You know what’s worse?”
“What else?”
“This is what my sister said to me who was crying. ‘You decided not to hide in the basement warehouse. So why break your promise?’ isn’t it funny Even after doing such a terrible thing to her sister, she doesn’t feel sorry and says that since I did something wrong, I deserve to be punished. I was traumatized by it.”
“… … That’s a bit harsh.”
“Still, I did sneak in later at night and buy the stuffed toy I wanted to buy and leave it behind.”
“Still, I did deliver a sign of apology.”
“Why are you changing your words so drastically? I mean, because of my sister, her body still freezes when she sees a mouse!”
“Isn’t it a sign of regret that you gave me the doll you wanted as a gift?”
“I don’t know!”
It was a childlike complaint, but it was not like he couldn’t understand Casey’s heart.
Perhaps even Marias Selmore didn’t put the rat in thinking it was going to get this serious.
However, one reason for the inclusion was that the promise was not kept.
He has a heart that thinks of his younger brother, but that’s why he’s terribly strict.
If it’s like that since childhood, it must be that there is a paranoid obsession with promises and rules.
‘I can see why Casey Selmore asked me this as soon as he received the letter.’
Due to her older sister’s tendency, if she didn’t return to her family until the end, she would have come and taken Casey herself.
Thanks to the stories Casey told him about the past, Rudger was able to get an idea of what Marias Selmore was like.
I should have liked it, but on the contrary, it was a problem.
‘At this rate, I might have to stay at the mansion until the castle over there is full.’
For now, since I came from the perspective of my fiancée, he suits the role play.
Since this side came with its own purpose, there was no desire to hear an answer as soon as possible.
“It’s a big deal.”
“It’s a big deal.”
The thoughts he had stored in his mind leaked out of his mouth without realizing it.
With Casey Selmore.
The two muttered involuntarily, staring at each other.
The protesting gazes, asking why are you copying him, crossed each other in the air and then dispersed.
“Is there any way?”
“That is what I want to ask.”
“I asked first.”
“Think of the one with the best brain.”
“Your family would know better.”
“What is family? They are net enemies.”
While bickering, the two head to the room quickly.
“There is a way. Attack her sister and knock her out. And run away.”
“It’s too selfish.”
“what. Don’t you know that siblings and sisters are supposed to kill each other? But they don’t kill, so they’re on good terms.”
“Isn’t your sister a high-ranking civil servant in this country? I don’t want to be a national public figure.”
“It has already been made public in several countries, so what will happen if one is added now? oh, ok you won’t have to do anything else So don’t look at me that way.”
“Anyway, you just have to convince your sister completely.”
“If you understand, you and I are really engaged?”
“I guess so.”
“What do I have to do to convince my sister?”
Rudger spoke out what was on his mind.
“An act of affection in front of your eyes?”
“what. Anything more than wiping the tea off with a handkerchief? Do you want me to kiss you?”
“Are you out of your mind? I’d rather kiss a pig.”
“What, dude?! Do you hate me too?”
Casey shrugged.
“This is my situation. You’re struggling with overthrowing your sister in the room with the object you must capture right in front of you.”
“Wasn’t the old job over? And now I’m looking for a way to convince your sister, when did I say I was working hard to overthrow it?”
“That’s it.”
“Don’t foolishly let me join your life.”
“ha. Where does something happen?”
It was when Casey muttered that.
Rudgar suddenly jumped up from his seat and ran towards Casey.
Casey saw it and said, ‘Uh, uh?’ I was perplexed.
Unable to react, Rudgar pushed her and threw her onto the bed.
Casey looked up at Ludger with his eyes wide open.
Clink!
Immediately after that, the window shattered, and a bullet went through the spot where Casey’s head had been a moment before.
