Rose decided to take the payment. He sealed the mansion and broke Neil's hands and feet. Rose spread throughout the mansion and killed everyone, leaving only the Otis family alive. The screams of the servants echoed through the halls and haunted the estate.

Neil's wife took her own life.

Rose began training Neil's son to become the next heir. The Otis bloodline needed to continue. But training alone was not enough. When the son was about to come of age, Rose took on his appearance and attended as many social gatherings as he could, looking for a bride.

Eventually, he found a woman from a lower-ranking noble family whose household was deep in debt. She married into the Otis family and was brought to the mansion. Rose led her to the son's room.

Neil witnessed this and begged Rose to stop. He pleaded with him to end the Otis line instead. But Rose did not listen.

In time, the woman gave birth to a child. Rose raised the child himself. The cycle continued until a girl was finally born.

She had brown hair and green eyes, just like Edgar. Because of that, Rose showed her a small amount of kindness. When her mother died, the girl began trying to please Rose, hoping to stay in his favor. Rose raised her carefully.

When she came of age, Rose asked her if she wanted a wish.

Neil Otis, Edgar’s brother, was still alive and hidden on the 5th garden. His arm was rotting and falling apart, but it kept regenerating. For hundreds of years, Roger did not allow him to die, nor did he let him lose his mind.

FL convinced Neil to help them. She tried to buy time by prolonging her conversation with Roger.

Suddenly, Roger clutched his chest. "What have you done?!" he screamed. He dragged her into his room, where Neil Otis was laughing.

Neil held up a small rose. Roger ran toward him, shouting, "No!" But it was too late. Neil set the rose on fire. Roger took the burning rose and hugged it, as if it were the most precious thing in the world.

"I concede defeat. You won, Richelle."

The entire room was engulfed in white flames. Soon after, Alan came running and pulled her away. Before everything vanished, she looked at Roger one last time. He was staring at her, or rather, at her eyes. Just before the flames completely overtook the room, she heard his final words.

"What truly beautiful green eyes."

"Ah, so that was it," she whispered. She looked at the man in the painting. He also had green eyes, just like hers.

They managed to escape the mansion and looked back at it one last time. The entire structure had been consumed by fire.
The rest of the story continues in the side story, which tells of their life after the mansion.

It shows how they lived under different circumstances.

There is also the story of Rose. He returned to being void, but he could no longer go back to how he was before meeting Edgar. He traveled across many worlds and different timelines. In every one of them, he saw Richelle. He saw how she lived.

Eventually, he chose to set Edgar’s soul free. He hid Edgar’s soul inside a rose.

Rose continued to exist for eternity until, one day, he saw Edgar again. That was when he learned the truth. Edgar’s grandmother was Richelle, and his grandfather was Alan. They had lived a happy life. That was all Rose ever wanted to hear.

Edgar recognized him. At the time, Rose had taken on Richelle’s appearance. Edgar told him it felt awkward, since it was the face of his grandmother. So Rose changed back to his previous appearance, the form of Roger.

Edgar said his grandmother once told him that if he ever met someone who looked like that man, he should tell him about her life, and how happy she had been.
