The Most Powerful Characters In The World Are Obsessed With Me - Chapter 55
‘It a scam anyway.’
Dalia thought to herself.
However, the situation right now was not to be passed so easily.
In the original work, the reunion of the two is an event that held a significant weight.
How bad the relationship between the two here determined some of the turning points in the original story, because Adrisha never forgave Meldon after she found out that he was Verix’s adopted son.
Also, she wanted to run away from him who symbolized her past, forever.
Meldon couldn’t understand why Adrisha, the only one who survived together in their hometown, denied her past and turned away from him.
The two were on a parallel line where they could never accept each other.
The original players even said that avoiding places where Meldon is located was the tip for maintaining his favorability.
“Let’s, let’s go.”
This time too, since they have already met, she need to separate the two as soon as possible.
Dalia awkwardly pulled Adrisha’s arm. Adrisha didn’t pull away her arm. But her gaze was still fixed on Meldon.
“Did that person bring Dalia all the way here?”
Dalia widened her eyes and shook her head to indicate that it’s not true.
But Adrisha didn’t seem to believe it. Instead, she pushed Dalia behind her as if protecting her.
“You have to be careful with strangers. Because they might put Dalia in danger.”
“…….”
“Especially people whose identity is uncertain.”
It was a cold tone. She continued to glare at Meldon.
“Before I came just now, Dalia…… You said that he is a Viscount right?
Dalia shook her head vigorously again.
However, Adrisha seemed to have noticed that Meldon was the young Viscount Arthur Pendleton, who swindled and ran away.
There’s no way that Adrisha doesn’t know that Meldon was committing frauds all over the country.
“That’s great. I found a scammer, so I’ll have to report him to the guards.”
Of course, Meldon was not going to just stay still.
“I don’t think you’re in that position either. May I ask what is the name of the lady who suddenly wants to denounce me as a fraud?”
“…….”
“Ah, you’re not going to say Adrisha Beniter, are you?”
He said without hiding his sarcastic tone at all.
It came out. His unique sarcasm that turned Adrisha’s mood upside down several times in the original.
Dalia grabbed the back of her neck.
Adrisha bit her pretty lips and couldn’t say anything. Meldon, who had the advantage, smiled smoothly and opened his mouth.
“Miss Dalia, did you know this? You are actually……”
“Shut your mouth.”
Adrisha pronounces it clearly.
It is said that when anger reaches its peak, you can feel the cold sensation and Adrisha’s voice just now is just like that.
If Meldon said one more thing, she would kill him right away.
Dalia knew what Meldon was trying to say and what Adrisha was afraid of.
Adrisha was not originally a noble lady. She infiltrated to Dalia’s side with a fake identity.
She was ordered by the Emperor and was actually adopted into the Beniter family, so strictly speaking, it was not a completely fake identity.
However, it was natural for people who didn’t know to feel betrayed.
The atmosphere was like walking on thin ice. Even Dalia who was not directly involved, was getting overwhelmed, Meldon didn’t blink his eyes and calmly tried to open his mouth again.
‘That, that mouth!’
Dalia speaks loudly without realizing it.
“Both of you stop!”
The two looked at Dalia at the same time. She sighed and touched her forehead.
“Now, what are you two doing in front of me?”
“…….”
“Stop it, both of you. And especially you, be quiet.”
Dalia pointed exactly at Meldon. He looked at her in confusion. She looked at him straight in the eye and spoke in a fierce tone.
“If you say anything more, I’ll really get mad.”
“……if Miss said so.”
Meldon lowered his eyes in a calm demeanor. Dalia now looked at Adrisha standing next to her.
“Adrisha too. I don’t know what’s your problem with this guy, but you shouldn’t do that in front of me when I’m just staying still. Just what are you doing?”
She closed her mouth as if she was about to cry. Only then did the atmosphere calm down a little. Considering the brutality of their original reunion, this much can be considered quite peaceful.
‘If it’s the original, Adrisha ……probably had pulled out her hidden dagger.’
She hopes that such a situation doesn’t happen in front of her eyes, please.
Dalia grabbed Adrisha’s hand and looked at Meldon.
“Anyway, young Viscount Pendleton. Please stop talking rudely to my maid. And I said I’d overlook your fraud once, but I didn’t say I’d do it twice.”
“No, what I’m selling this time is real, not a scam……”
“That’s not what’s important!”
Dalia raised her voice. Meldon flinched. Adrisha next to her also slightly shook her shoulders.
Dalia calmed down again and lowered her voice.
“I told you to leave here last time, but you are still there. That’s the problem.”
“……I’m sorry.”
Meldon politely apologized. Dalia nodded to accept the apology.
“I’ll pretend I don’t know this time again. Then, you owe me twice. You didn’t forget, right?”
“Yes, I know.”
Meldon replied. Dalia was relieved.
According to the original, Meldon had a personality that had to pay back the grace he had received.
If there is an unavoidable confrontation with Meldon, it will be useful to pay off the debt at that time.
“Please hurry up and go now. Adrisha, let’s go out now.”
Adrisha nodded with a downcast expression.
Meldon also packed his luggage without saying anything more. She was worried since he was the main character who showed his obsession towards Adrisha from the beginning, but fortunately, this reunion seemed to have ended well except for him scratching her temper.
When she thinks of the original work, wouldn’t there be weapons flying towards each other?
Dalia sighed.
What crime did she commit that she should be mediating between the original female and the male protagonist now?
Anyway, only bad things happen when the two are together. Dalia hurriedly dragged Adrisha out of the alley.
“……I’m sorry.”
Adrisha apologized in a small voice as they left the alley. Dalia looked at her because she felt bad for her.
“It’s okay. Adrisha didn’t do anything wrong.”
“…….”
“You know that person…… right?”
“I’m sorry.”
After saying that, Adrisha kept her head down and didn’t say anything more.
Her apology will not be just for this time.
To Adrisha, Meldon is like the past she had been trying to escape from all her life. She hated everything that reminded her of her past. So she was never proud of herself until the end.
And Adrisha has never told Dalia anything about her past. Of course, including her ‘real identity’ as well.
Dalia recalled Adrisha, who couldn’t say a word until the end at the shooting range.
Even if it is not intentional, a lie is still a lie. But on the other hand, she understood her.
She heard that even with the status of a Viscount, it was insufficient to become a maid of the Pesteros. Moreover, it was not easy to say that she was raised as an assassin in the past.
‘Although I don’t mind.’
After all, it was information that she knew while playing the original. But she can’t tell Adrisha that she knows everything about her past.
‘If I told her that I knew who she was from playing games in my past life, I would be treated like a crazy person.’
Dalia sighed.
Actually, there was one thing that bothered her.
Dalia had an ominous thought that did not disappear after Meldon and Adrisha reunion.
Although it was much faster than the original, Hikan and Adrisha met anyway.
Aceras eventually went to the Holy Empire and became the Pope.
This time, no matter how hard Dalia tried, she eventually met Meldon and Dalia.
Perhaps the main event of the original will inevitably happen someday?
It was a very depressing hypothesis.
But that didn’t mean that Dalia couldn’t change anything. Because she actually succeeded in saving Hikan.
‘If I can’t avoid Meldon and Adrisha from meeting each other.’
There is no other choice but to improve the relationship between the two.
Adrisha doesn’t hate Meldon because he betrays his hometown colleague and becomes Verix’s adopted son.
It may have been like that at first, but not anymore.
She was looking at her past that she wanted to forget through Meldon. That was why she hated him.
Meldon hates Adrisha because she hates him. If Adrisha accepts her past, wouldn’t the relationship between the two improve?
But what she can say in this situation is.
“If Adrisha doesn’t say anything, I can’t say anything either.”
“…….”
“But anyway, you are you…… it’s okay.”
That was all. It’s okay whether she’s Adrisha or Yustia.
Dalia held Adrisha’s hand. This time, she did not avoid it, she gently held Dalia’s hand, but tightly.
