The Resetting Lady

"Uh... Lord Raymond, why did you do that? I'll obey if my superiors give me orders. They're royalty."

"Do you say that without hearing what you've done?"

"You should have seen everything!"

I can't believe you're a soldier. Karen saw Raymond talking nonsense. But he seemed to really hate Prince Gwiz.

"Well, to be honest, the man I know prefers to have his first love's daughter rather than wanting to see her out of curiosity."

“…….”

It is a realistic and plausible conjecture. Karen is speechless. And Raymond went on.

"And at the same time, I don't feel very good about giving me a job."

Raymond took turns looking at the invitations and the commands he received.

"There's only a bad relationship left with Mr. Berdick, and Count Elba is always carrying you as a trinket."

“…….”

Raymond then said the two overlapping chapters at the same time.

"When I die, there's no one to protect you."

He stared silently at the two papers below him.

"Lord Raymond, Lord Raymond?"

Karen waved her hand in front of Raymond's eyes and said, He looked up and made eye contact with Karen.

"If I die, my pension will go ahead of you...By the way, you have more money than I do now. Still, just spend your pension on living expenses. Don't buy things like that."

Then, he points his finger at the antiques that Karen bought. Look at this. Karen knitted her forehead and held Raymond's hand.

"Excuse me, Lord Raymond."

"Yes."

"I don't believe it after all. But trust me."

Karen put her hand on Raymond's cheek and pinched him hard. I liked his face with a slightly dazed face. Come to think of it, he used to pinch me like this. Karen laughed.

"Sir Raymond won't die."

"What's so comfortable about....”

"You never die."

“…….”

I stretched my cheeks with my fingers. It'd be funny if I got a bruised. Karen gave a definite answer. This is a prophecy. The truth will not change no matter what. He won't die. at any risk

"I will never die, so don't worry."

Until the day I die.

"…I hope it's nothing special."

Raymond stroked his tingling cheeks as Karen's hand was leaving.

***

"Take it easy."

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Take it easy. Ah… wait!"

"Just a little more."

"…Please…."

"Just a little more… Never mind!"

Are you sure you have some stomachs? Karen clenched her teeth tightening the corset. Well, I've been eating pretty well. In the Evans family, there was so much work that it was worth eating well that it was now too loose. It was a short but peaceful moment. It was a beautiful day. But is that peace fattening her? Karen gulped down. No way.

"Did I gain some weight?”

"What? Not at all. She was too skinny for a while. You still have to gain more weight.”

Donna shook her head and refuted. But Karen sighed as she looked at her pale face in the mirror. You were so lazy. I'm trying to seduce Raymond, but I think he's already gone. And I think I put the wrong first button on it, so I keep catching traces of my mother. Nevertheless, he has little income.

You were so lazy.’

Karen blamed herself. Beauty is Karen's biggest weapon. Raymond would not have approached Karen if she had not been beautiful, nor would Donna's envy have been there if Karen had not been beautiful. Count Elba's wife must have collected the favor she gave her.

I can't believe I've got a little clue and my life is so comfortable. Karen put on her shoes, blaming herself. The shoes made of cloth fit Karen's feet perfectly, unlike those tailored to Isella's feet. The wound was also almost healed. Because I didn't wear shoes next to Raymond. Come to think of it, isn't it also a life that's too loose now? Was it too loose in front of Lord Raymond?

'What the hell did you do to get rid of it already?'

Karen clenched her teeth. There's not even a proper kiss yet, let alone sympathy! And then you know everything about life over and over and over again, and you're content with it and you're lazy. Pathetic.

"You're beautiful, too."

Fortunately, I don't think it's enough to worry yet. Donna's eyes were still covered with envy. Karen agreed, checking the back of her light purple dress. There was little decoration, but the cloth was so luxurious that there was no need to do more. It was a neat dress with little exposure except for the arms, but the price of this neat dress is more than ten times the price of the most expensive clothes worn at the High School. And today's meeting will be mostly children. This is enough to keep yourself more famous for gambling in peace. luxurious but not extravagant

It is also the case for seeing Raymond off as well as for the gathering. a dreary girl who sees off her fiancée to the jaws of death Karen knows that he will bring greater honor, but she should also pay attention to other people's views. The maid's eyes are also.

"I heard Lord Raymond is leaving soon, are you going to see him off?”

Donna asked about her fiance in time. Karen nodded her head.

"Yes, I'm leaving with you today. I'm going and I'm coming. We had similar schedules."

"That's amazing.

"Right?"

Just like someone has an intention. Karen swallowed the aftertaste.

"Where are you going? Aren't you going to a dangerous place?"

"I don't know either.”

"Well, aren't you curious?"

Donna carefully asked, tying the ribbon behind Karen, who answered casually.

"I won't tell you anyway."

And honestly, I wasn't really curious. I'm sure he'll come back safely to Karen. He used to show uneasiness at off-the-wall calls sometimes before, but it's nothing after all. He always comes back with greater glory. To Karen.

"How's it going to be here?"”

"I'm fine."

Donna replied with a faint smile. Indeed, for Karen's maid, few places are as comfortable as the Countess' house. This is because Lady Elba provided the annex. Donna had no encounter with the maidens of Countess, except to serve Karen. Somehow I ended up with her like this. This has never happened before.

Nancy's relationship with Nancy ended at the mansion, and even if there was a woman on the street, she was still working at another mansion. Karen imagined hitting Donna's round head with an ax. This time would have been a little different if it had been.

"Hey, Donna. Do you remember your mother? What would they say if they saw me?”

"Of course you remember. You were so beautiful. I'm sure you'll like it. You look exactly like the one I saw when I was young."

Is there anything else you know? Karen looked at Donna.

"How was it?"

"I was young at that time... I didn't even work at the mansion.”

"Ah."

Donna was only a year older than Karen. Karen kicked her tongue to soothe her disappointment. I shouldn't expect too much at once. After all, there are more people in society who know their mothers better about their mothers. Trying to recall Prince Gwiz's face, Karen wore her shoes.

"But he comes to town often and remembers."

"Really?"

"You were like an angel. He was very interested in helping the poor, and he was very interested in education."

I did it too, but I don't think that's the answer. Karen thought back to herself and thought about her past. I once thought good deeds would be the answer. rebuilding his father's estate, expelling his wealth and trying to save the poor.

But that was not the answer either. Karen then died in the slums of a strange tramp, taking care of her children. What kind of hardships did Catherine have? But Karen didn't think the world was just tough for her. If Catherine had saved the poor, it would be an area of pure hobby, not an answer for death.

"She must have always been sincere.”

"Yes. Actually, I applied to the mansion as a maid because you were so beautiful. It was good just to watch. She was sweet."

"I see."

If so, why didn't he give himself a proper answer? Why to the only daughter, to Karen. You have been kind to everyone who is nothing but ink. The truth is still hidden and dark and confused. Why mother, Karen closed her eyes. Let's not think about it.

"With the money you gave me, I was able to pay off most of the house's debts. She was really more beautiful inside."

But it wouldn't have been beautiful when I died. Karen remembers what Mrs. Dare said. Catherine said she was beautiful, but when she died, she got sick and died looking extremely ugly. Maybe when he dies, he dies like that. Is that also a curse?

"I wish I was pretty at least when I died."

"What?"

"Yes, um... I am."

Karen smiled with a slight cynicism. He can no longer remember the face other than this one. There was only the impression that it was more ordinary in the past. Like Donna. But I don't even remember anymore. Even his name. He had no identity but Karen.

"Don't say that, miss."

"Did you see your mother when you died?”

"No…."

Donna replied in low spirits. Karen felt sorry that Donna was the same age as herself. If it was Mrs. Dare who was next to her, she would have told me about her mother here and there. I think I killed her too quickly because she was annoyed.

"But my mother would have gone to heaven. Thanks, Donna. For thinking well of my mother."

If she had lived for a hundred years, she would have done everything. Nevertheless, it's a success since he died in the last one who died. How could my mother die? And what did he think at the end? Did he return to his own world? Not here, but somewhere far away. Donna gushed softly to Karen, who was jealous and grumpy.

"The girl will live a long life."

"Thank you."

"With Raymond."

Really? Karen laughed bitterly. If so, I think I would have done it earlier.

Can he give me an answer this time?

Karen waited. I heard footsteps pattering. It's time for Raymond to come. Then I heard a knock on the door. Karen once again looked in the mirror and ordered her to check her dress and open the door.

It's time to go again.

"Let's go, it's time to leave.”

One of my mother's suitors, the crown prince of this country... Can you give me a good answer?

Karen hoped so, please.
