To You Whom I Don’t Love That Much (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 042
42.
“Anything. But in that case, your soul will fall asleep once more.”
Sleep? Did that mean death? Rose glared at the glass vial with suspicion. Calypso thrust forward the claw-like hand holding the bottle, as if urging her to take it.
When she cautiously took the vial, Calypso twisted her lips in displeasure.
“Fate shaped you for a reason. What Calypso sees, foolish Rose cannot.”
Rose swallowed a bitter laugh. Was prolonging this kind of life truly what fate intended? Was she any better than a canary with broken wings locked inside a cage? Rose held the vial up to the sunlight. The ominous black liquid was thick and dense, blocking all light from passing through.
“If I drink this medicine… what will happen to me?”
No answer came. Only then did Rose suddenly snap back to her senses and look around. She had sensed no presence, and indeed, Calypso—who had just moments ago stood right before her—was nowhere to be seen. It was as if she had been swallowed whole by the alley.
“…Calypso?”
Frantically, Rose scanned her surroundings, searching the alley. But not only was Calypso gone—she couldn’t even find the old hag in the hooded cloak. Dazed, Rose looked down at her hand clutching the glass vial. Had it not been for this vial, she might have thought she’d merely dreamed the entire encounter.
Damn it. Had she truly been possessed by something?
“You are already a soul that has once been cursed. A single curse per soul—that is our rule.”
Those words Calypso had spoken rang in Rose’s ears like a nightmare far more terrifying than any heresy. To never escape Lea, never escape that fate.
Escaping the Valdemore dukedom was one thing, but she could never evade the family’s pursuit forever. With no hope of Calypso’s help, the only remaining option was to utterly ruin her own face beyond recognition. After that, she would survive by enduring people’s scorn and pity.
But if that was the price of survival… death would be easier. With trembling hands, Rose uncorked the vial. Honestly, she just wanted to shut her eyes and gulp it down, whatever it was.
