"Rosie! Rosie!"

I woke up from a deep sleep at the touch of my shoulder shaking roughly.

"Haa-"

I had a nightmare. A very terrible one.

I opened my mouth in search of oxygen, covering my confused vision with my palm.

"Rosie! Are you okay?"

Emily asked me in a worried voice, but I blinked slowly, unable to answer.

What kind of dream is this?

The answer to the question came out quickly.

This is Rose's- No, Rosie's memory. I mean this body possessed by me.

I've never had a dream like this since possessing it, so why am I suddenly having such a nightmare-?

I slowly looked back on my dream by rubbing my painful head.

So-.

Rosie was the sister of a sub-male lead in this novel?

-Really?

I can't believe I'm the main character with the huge prize money Emily mentioned before.

They say to be careful for what you wish, it can't be, did what I said as a joke to Emily come true?

Looking back on Rosie's memories based on the dream, it seems that not a drop of blood was mixed between Rosie and the sub-male lead.

So that's why she had a pretty bad childhood- and is that why she ran away?

And got a job at the Marquis of Evantes to earn a living?

I was curious about Rosie's life, but I thought it might have been better not to know.

I think it will be very dangerous for me if I get caught.

In common sense, it is not a simple runaway, but how long can a noble woman who lived a good life survive outside?

'Isn't it because she didn't want to go back that much?'

I made up my mind while wiping away the cold sweat. After this happened, I had to run away as soon as possible.

I'll have to dye my hair in the next place.

"Emily, you know the reward you mentioned before-"

"Reward? Oh, you mean Count Herthas' missing daughter?"

"That's right. That thing. By any chance, they won't have her portrait right?"

"Well, I don't know about that either. Rumors have it that a portrait was hung, but secondly, the noble son said he couldn't put up his sister's face recklessly."

I don't know if it's a relief or a misfortune.

"But Rosie, why do you ask that?"

"Because I want the reward-?"

Emily smiled widely at the remark and said that she wanted the reward too.

Hearing that she was seriously thinking about taking a vacation and looking for Herthas' daughter, I hid my pale face with the palm of my hand pretending to have a headache.

I'm doomed. I should run away from here as soon as possible.

*****

"You're not coming back anymore?"

The last day of the meal duty. The chef gave me a faint look as he handed Richard's meal.

Just because I decide to run away quickly doesn't mean I can go out right away.
