GILBERT VON OBSIDIAN EVENT STORY....
CHAPTER ONE.
I just love you.
translations are not 100% accurate. expect mistakes.
special thanks to @otomehoneyybearr for proofreading! ♡
minors and ageless blogs dni.
One day, I was caught in a runaway carriage in town and lost my memory.
Gilbert: This is trouble. I never expected the little rabbit would forget about all our time together.
Gilbert: The coachman who caused this accident will be executed at once…
Gilbert: The main issue is this distance between us.
(….This is a nightmare.)
(I'm having a bad dream right now.)
I was working at the small bookstore in Rhodolite, the land of roses and art.
But for some reason, I woke up in the castle of Obsidian, an enemy nation of military and ore.
The unrealistic nightmare of being confronted by a handsome looking man with black hair and one eye from the royal family makes me feel dizzy.
(Why am I in Obsidian? And why is a member of the royal family approaching me?)
I rolled off the bed and ran to the wall but,
The man who introduced himself as Gilbert steadily closed the distance between us.
At first glance, he looked like he was smiling, but his blood-colored eye was not, which was simply terrifying.
(He’s the infamous Obsidianite royal family who must have killed many people so far—-)
(If I'm not careful, he could kill me too.)
Gilbert: Hmm, to be so frightened by the little rabbit who loved me so much...
Gilbert: I'm so shocked that I feel like I want to prepare a cage right away.
Walter: You idiot! Don't say that even if it is a joke!
Then, the man who claimed to be the royal physician, Mr. Walter, yelled so loudly that it made me flinch involuntarily.
Walter: You always think of imprisonment and execution whenever someone is in trouble.
Gilbert: I’m serious, you know? Once I confine the little rabbit, she can't escape.
(…)
Walter: Don't threaten the injured person. Look at how pale her face is.
Gilbert: Aah, sorry? I'm the kind and sweet villain to you, so if you don't like it, I'll stop.
Gilbert: But, you know what will happen if you keep acting like that...right?
(I might actually end up being trapped.)
It didn't seem like this was the right time to be afraid and try to escape from reality.
I fought the urge in my body to escape from Gilbert standing in front of me, and held my ground.
(First, I’ll assess the situation. If I can’t recall anything, I won’t know the right way to act.)
Emma: Why…am I in Obsidian?
Gilbert: Of course, because I brought you here.
Emma: But why a commoner like me….?
Gilbert: Because I’m the big villain who loves the little rabbit very much.
Emma: …Am I the little rabbit?
Gilbert: Yes, that's right. I love you.
(…I don't understand.)
But surely, I see my reflection captured in those seemingly indifferent red eye.
I felt his genuine feeling of love, and had no choice but to accept Gilbert’s words.
Emma: Can you tell me how I got here?
Gilbert: Sure, I'll spend the whole night telling you.
Gilbert: In bed.
(!?)
━━
(I never thought he would actually bring me to bed…)
After Mr. Walter finished treating me, I was led into a spacious room covered in black interior
I was intrigued by the shelves lined with many books that rivaled any bookstore,
Gilbert stopped in front of the bed and urged me to sit down.
(Perhaps this is Gilbert's room?)
(…I can imagine the consequences for not complying would be horrific.)
I tried to sit as far away from him as possible, but Gilbert mercilessly settled down close enough for our shoulders to touch.
I quickly gave up.
Gilbert: Now, let's start off with the fact that you were chosen as Belle.
━━
Gilbert: ——And so, you are now loved by me, the world's greatest villain, and we lived happily ever after.
(No, no, no….!)
(Wait, is what you just said true!?)
I was chosen as Belle to select the next king of Rhodolite,
Apparently, I caught Gilbert’s attention when he visited to participate in a social event,
And now he’s telling me that I’m his fiancée or something….
(This…has to be a lie.)
Gilbert: Let me tell you, I don't lie.
Emma: ….
Gilbert: Huh, you froze. Is it that hard to accept?
Emma: ….I don't think I'll ever be able to accept it.
(It's as if I've been told a grand story, and…it doesn't seem like it's my own.) // (It's as if I've been told a grand story, and…it doesn't feel like it's about me.)
Gilbert: I see. Then it can’t be helped if your mind rejects it.
Gilbert: But it’s possible that your body might remember.
Emma: What?
The corners of Gilbert’s mouth raised into a smile as he pushed my shoulders and laid me down on the sheets.
I could easily imagine what would happen next, and my blood ran cold.
Emma: Please stop!
Gilbert: Why? Didn't I just tell you that I'm your fiancé?
Gilbert: We used to do things like this quite often.
I feel his cold lips touch my ears and he bites down forcefully.
I winced in pain, and he lapped my skin with his tongue.
(This man...seriously…)
(But I don't know...it just feels weird.)
Even though I was being assaulted by a man who I barely know, I don’t feel any disgust at all.
It seems to be true that my body remembers.
Still, my heart couldn't keep up, so I pushed back against his chest, Gilbert bit my skin once more then pulled away.
Gilbert: Did you believe that? // Did you fall for that?
Emma: Was this a joke?
Gilbert: You’re injured.
Gilbert: If it weren't for that, I would have forced you to remember.
Emma: ….
Gilbert: Didn't I tell you? That I’m the kind and sweet villain to you.
Gilbert: I'll just have to remind you slowly. // I’ll make sure you remember slowly.
Gilbert: Even if you lost your memories, you can never escape from me…okay?
Gilbert combs my hair with his fingers and kisses me.
It was a gentle touch that conveyed love and affection.
(He's supposed to be scary, but...he really seems to love me.)
Why he fell in love with me was never mentioned in the conversation.
(I wonder if one day I'll be able to remember.)
(…I want to remember.)
━━
The next day, the confusion and agitation caused by the memory loss still lingered—-
Gilbert invited me to visit a quiet place full of plants.
Gilbert: ….
Emma: …..
(…There’s nothing to do.)
It felt like a laboratory, with equipment here I've never seen before and tags attached to plants. // The equipment I had never seen before and the tags attached to the plants looked like a laboratory.
(It doesn't seem like it...or maybe it really is.)
Gilbert is silently writing difficult formulas on a document.
It was somehow refreshing to me.
(I wonder if there's anything to do….)
As I looked around, carefully examining each item one by one, something caught my eye.
Emma: A rose…?

🌹About the Rose Knight (Michel family) of Rhodolite🌹
A few facts about Chevalier's ancestors and the "Rose Knight". From Clavis' story in the "Rhodolite Horror Night" event.
Trigger warnings: War, death, sickness
I'll be putting it under the cut, in case of spoilers:
Clavis and his Mc are about to do a test of courage and they are also about to lift the curse. They find the 150-years-old portrait of a woman, Vivian Michel.
The Michel family took part in the making of Rhodolite, with the production of very strong knights. The portrait might have been 150 years old, but Clavis, just like that, confirmed that the family existed there for a very long time.
And like that, we get to learn about the "Rose Knight". A knight who led every battle in the front lines, as he was the strongest, crowning Rhodolite victorious. Clavis said there was an "anecdote", saying that he once entered the enemy's territory and destroyed it by himself. This information made his Mc think that it did sound like something Chevalier could do too.
Vivian Michel, rumored to be his wife, was wearing on the top of her dress, an insignia of the tiger. The tiger was different from Chevalier's, but it was the same animal (which makes sense on why Chevalier has one too, it wasn't something he just made up). The insignia naturally belonged to the Rose Knight. And in the book Clavis was reading for information, the Knight's wife was rumored to be very sickly.
Sadly, tragedy did strike the Rose Knight. A man who always took a long time to say goodbye and part ways with his wife before every war, was called for a sudden enemy attack. And when he returned to Rhodolite, the news of her passing away left him very saddened. Her funeral was also done a long time ago, before his return. He lost all motivation to fight and left Rhodolite, without anyone knowing where he went.
These are all known from a book Clavis found in the library. He told his fiancée that if she asked Chevalier, he wouldn't know. She thought that he probably wouldn't answer, even if he did.
