PT | Chapter 3.3

Aubrey didn’t particularly want to defend Lennock, but it seemed that this statement had struck a nerve with the butler. His expression darkened quickly, and Aubrey, noticing that, shrugged off the butler’s hand and walked up to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor was reserved solely for the marquis, Johan Wiidin. It wasn’t officially off-limits, but no one dared to walk there unless they had a specific reason.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, Aubrey headed straight for the room above his own. As he quickly passed down the long hallway, two servants standing by the door looked startled when they saw him approaching.

“Young Master, what are you doing here?”

“Wait a minute. Young master, you can’t come in here. There are people inside…!”

Aubrey glared at the servant blocking his path, shoving him hard in the chest.

“Who do you think you’re stopping? You wanna end up like Dalton?”

“Ha, but young master, there’s someone in there…!”

The servant couldn’t finish his sentence and shut his mouth as Aubrey pushed him aside with his palm.

“I already know, so stop wasting time and get out of the way.”

Aubrey continued to push, and the servant couldn’t hold his ground. He had not been briefed on how to act if Aubrey showed up here. But thinking he had to stop him, the servant muttered “Young master…” again, and Aubrey scoffed, grabbing the door handle and flinging it wide open.

The moment the door opened, Aubrey surveyed the inside. In the bright room, he saw two people tangled up on the bed. To be specific, the man on top of Lennock, who was lying there. The moment he saw it, he felt like his stomach was about to flip. It wasn’t just because Lennock was being pinned down; it was simply because he didn’t want to see such disgusting things.

“What, what the hell—!”

The man, startled by the sudden opening of the door, quickly pulled up his pants. Aubrey sprinted toward him. Swift and light like a cheetah, he jumped onto the bed and kicked the side of the man who was holding his pants up.

“Ugh!”

The force of the kick stung his foot, so it must have hurt the man too. In fact, the man who was sent rolling under the bed didn’t even groan, clutching the spot he was kicked. He just whimpered in pain. Aubrey glanced down at him, then lowered his gaze to Lennock, who was lying on the bed, half-conscious with his eyes barely open.

Had he taken medicine?

“…What a pathetic bastard.”

He had acted all grown-up and smart in front of him, and now look at this mess.

Thinking about the great sin and how it would soon come to light, Aubrey stepped over Lennock, landing lightly beneath the bed. Just then, the man who had been knocked down took a deep breath and, glaring at Aubrey, shouted in anger.

“Who the hell are you?! Do you even know who I am…!”

Without listening to the man’s words, Aubrey kicked his face.

“Ugh! Ugh! Ahh!!”

Without stopping, he began kicking him all over, then, frustrated and angry, he even mounted the man and swung his fists. The man who had been shouting about not knowing who Aubrey was started crying for his life. Aubrey, surprised that the man was crying already after just a few punches, grabbed his head and slammed it hard onto the floor.

“Ugh, ugh…!”

The man trembled under the intense pressure, struggling to open his eyes, and when he looked up, the black eyes staring down at him seemed to freeze him in place.

“Ughhh…”

Did he have a seizure or something? Watching the man shiver, Aubrey spoke.

“I know there’s a defect in the battery parts you’ve been making. Before I tell my father, you better confess and never do this again. Got it? You disgusting bastard.”

“Ah, I understand. If you let me go, I’ll never…!”

“Shut up. I don’t even want to hear your voice.”

Aubrey shook the man’s head left and right violently before letting go. The man, still screaming, immediately stopped when Aubrey released him. The whole thing happened so fast that the man was left dazed, holding his head with both hands. He whimpered quietly, and Aubrey frowned.

Didn’t I tell him to shut up?

Oh, I didn’t tell him not to cry, huh? I guess I should tell him not to make any more noise, but I didn’t want to deal with him again. Instead, Aubrey checked Lennock’s condition, who was still lying on the bed.

Although his eyes were open, it was strange that he was still lying there in this situation. Aubrey noticed his fingers twitching weakly and sighed as he brushed his hair back.

“Really, this is insane.”

What could a bastard like him possibly do when awakening from a great sin?

Aubrey wanted to cut off his neck right then and there, but seeing him lying like this, it felt a bit awkward to do it. But what really made the situation awkward was his own actions. Why had he even bothered helping this unattractive guy? Sighing, Aubrey placed one hand on the bed, leaning over it.

“Hey, do you know who I am?”

“….”

Lennock’s eyes moved slightly, so it seemed like he recognized him. But even if he did, it didn’t matter at this point. Aubrey grabbed Lennock’s wrist and dragged him to the edge of the bed. Aubrey then slipped his arm behind Lennock and lifted him up, bending down to support him.

“Young master, what on earth…?”

The servant, who had just entered the room, looked up at Aubrey, carrying Lennock over his shoulder.

Two servants and the butler were standing outside the open door, looking stunned. The room was brightly lit with a lamp, so it was obvious something had happened. Not needing to explain the situation, Aubrey gripped Lennock, who was heavier than he expected, and began walking out.

The butler, who had been standing and watching Aubrey, stepped in front of him before he could leave.

“Please wait a moment. That person is a guest of the master. However…”

“It seems that precious guest drugged my brother and tried to rape him.”

“….”

“I highly doubt that my father would have instructed such a thing. So, it must have been that bastard’s doing alone.”

Aubrey glanced down at the butler, raising one corner of his mouth.

“My father is definitely someone who gets blinded by business expansion, but there’s no way he’d sell out his own son. Don’t you agree?”

The butler knew very well what went on in this mansion. As his father’s right-hand man for many years, the butler was used to dealing with all sorts of unpleasant matters, no matter how dirty.

The butler had always been kind to Aubrey. He had never turned down a request. Even when things had gone sour between him and his father, the butler’s kindness never wavered. But that had always been possible because Aubrey was the marquis’ son.

On the other hand, Lennock wasn’t of the marquis’ blood, so there was no reason to treat him the same way. So, while the butler stepped in front of Aubrey to stop him from taking Lennock, he didn’t care at all about Lennock’s current state due to the drug.

Aubrey, feeling a chill at how the butler could be so polite yet cold when needed, spoke briefly.

“Just send that bastard back. I’ll explain everything to my father tomorrow, so don’t worry. He’s probably having a good time with his business partners, so you shouldn’t disturb him.”

As Aubrey gave the butler a sly grin, the butler sighed and stepped back. He gestured for the servants to clear the way. The servants, who had been hesitating, quickly stepped back, and Aubrey passed by them.

Aubrey kept his composure, acting nonchalant as he walked past them, but once he reached the stairs, the weight of Lennock’s body began to feel heavy. The darkness and Lennock’s similar size made it even harder to carry him. Every step felt awkward as Lennock’s face brushed against Aubrey’s back. He wondered if he should’ve just had a servant carry him.

Regretting the unnecessary exertion, Aubrey finally reached the door and looked up. There was no servant standing guard in front of it, probably because the butler had sent them away.

As Aubrey reached for the doorknob, it caught on something, and he frowned. He realized it was locked from the outside.

“Guess I missed that earlier.”

The lock that was supposed to be inside was on the outside instead. It seemed they had intended to lock him in from the start. Scoffing, Aubrey unlocked the door and entered the room. He immediately threw Lennock onto the bed.

“Ugh, I’m gonna die.”

It felt like his height had suddenly matched Lennock’s, and his weight seemed to have increased too.

When they got into a fight, grabbing each other by the collar used to feel different. Aubrey sat on the bed, staring blankly for a while.

“….”

Why had I helped him?

I could’ve just ignored him and gone back to my room, saved my energy, and slept in peace.

In the endless cycle of reincarnation, there were times when he genuinely wanted to live. He thought this time might be different. He had hoped to break free from the cycle by doing everything for Lennock, even giving up his own self-esteem. At that point, Aubrey had been no different from a dog with a tail.

But there had been no reward for all his efforts.

The more he did for Lennock, the more he was belittled. One day, Lennock disappeared, and Aubrey was burned alive in another cycle of his death.

“….”

The anger at why he had to die like that still lingered. He had learned who the target of his anger should be, but there was nothing he could do about it. The frustration drained everything from him—his body, mind, and even his spirit.

The fifteenth life hadn’t been memorable. All he could remember was how humiliated he had been, treating Lennock like a doormat.

He had made one or two mistakes in his previous lives, but he couldn’t stop repeating them. Even when he treated people well, he ended up dying in flames, just like the eleventh life. Yet, he kept making the same mistakes, and halfway through the fifteenth life, he chose to end it all.

Sitting at the dining table, feeling depressed, Aubrey finally lifted his head. He saw Lennock’s clean face across from him, with no sign of worry. His stomach turned. Grabbing the knife in front of him to cut the meat, Aubrey suddenly stabbed it into his own throat. The peaceful dinner turned into chaos.

There was his father, looking horrified, and his older brothers, shouting that they had known he would do something crazy. And even though Aubrey was spewing blood like a fountain, Lennock remained sitting calmly. Aubrey, taking them all in with a single glance, laughed.

The anger that had boiled inside him subsided quickly, and just as quickly, so did his life force. Aubrey died and was once again sent back to the beginning.

There were lives he had given up on, and there were lives he had lived with determination. Aubrey remembered them all, one by one.

There were so many moments he wanted to forget, but the more he tried to erase them, the clearer they became. And those memories shaped his new life. At one point, he even wondered if he had committed some terrible sin in a past life to deserve this punishment.

But now, he didn’t think like that anymore.

“….No matter what the past is, when you die, it’s over. So why does it keep repeating?”

Aubrey looked up at the empty ceiling, his face full of frustration.
