The Resetting Lady

Karen waited for his words to continue. Why did Catherine break up with him? In fact, it was hard to imagine that Catherine had a choice. He is of royal blood.

They were about the same age, and Crown Prince Gwiz was young and full of guns. Why did Catherine reject him? Karen saw him, but her mouth wouldn't open. Prince Gwiz wanted to give Karen more physical affection than information. He's an old man who really doesn't help.

"Your Highness."

The horse came from outside, not Karen.

Karen sees her eyes covered with irritation. The servant standing outside the hall said, Prince Gwizu, who was disturbed, raises his back with his face distorted. Karen breathes when she wakes up with a heavy body. It was heavy.

"I told you not to interrupt.”

Outside the hall, the bell answered with a grayish face, but barely keeping a straight face.

"Your Grace, Sir Raymond Sayertes is here."

I can hear footsteps.

Stretching. Stuttering.

The sound of Raymond Seyertes' boots. That's a deliberate sound. Look, he always comes back to Karen. This is a judgment by statistics. Karen wasn't surprised. However, Prince Gwiz did not seem to have thought of it. He glared at Karen, and then he said to her again.

"Tell him to get out."

"I'll take my fiancee out."

Raymond's voice would be blue if his voice had color. Raymond said as he walked without stopping. A blue voice split the air. He has a voice that sounds loud without any effort. the voice of a young man

"I'm back from my duties. Your Highness."

Raymond greeted Prince Gwiz with a hard smile. But the green eyes were shaped. Karen saw restrained anger in her eyes. But he wasn't excited. However, I did not understand that. He looked at Karen, whose clothes were torn, and turned to the prince.

"So I'm thinking of going back home now...With my fiancee under your command."

Prince Gwiz approached Raymond. But when Karen saw it, she had to turn her head to hold back her laughter.

"Don't you think the world has changed so much that Baron Seyertes' brother has spoken to me?”

"I think even a dog on the street would feel the same way about a husband taking his wife under these circumstances."

Even if he tried to press it with power, his appearance, youth, and spirit were inferior to Raymond. It comes to light. Even if he is sentenced to death or used as a tool for war. There was a difference in the level of people in front of their eyes.

"Who took this guy in?”

"Daddy."

Behind Raymond, the little prince appeared with anxiety that was revealed even if he hid it. When the royal family visits the royal family, no one can stop them. There is only one king who can refuse. Crown Prince Gwiz and Prince Lewis are equal in position. And the servants couldn't stop Prince Louis. And Prince Louis was with Raymond.

"…that's a bad son."

"Please let Lord Raymond take her fiancee to rest."

Prince Gwiz saw Karen and her son and Raymond. His eyes seemed to calculate something. But now he couldn't be more than a scoundrel by any means.

Prince Gwiz opened his mouth and answered in silence.

"…I accept."

Raymond reached out to Karen. Karen found tears still hanging around her eyes. You must be so pathetic. I could feel Prince Louis looking at Karen's face.

"Let's go."

“…….”

Karen tried to reach out to Raymond and covered her chest. The clothes were torn out of the chest. After a weak sigh, Raymond handed Karen his coat.

"Thank you."

Karen held Raymond's hand with a relieved look. He picked up Karen. He bowed to Prince Louis, and the two went outside. Everyone was silent while walking down the hall. The servants, the maidens, the prostitutes. People kept their mouths shut and followed them with their eyes. Karen and Raymond walked past the dark and colorful hallway. When Raymond didn't speak even after going out to the garden, Karen opened her mouth first.

"I was right."

"…what?"

"You've been here in three days."

Karen pointed to the cathedral of the city in the distance. No bells have been heard yet for midnight. He returned to Karen again this time. Karen was pleased that her predictions were correct.

"I see."

Karen tore the tattered cloth off her chest and wore Raymond's jacket properly.

"This is so tacky I thought I was going to die. To the taste of the old man."

He sighed. Karen wanted to take off the rest of her clothes. If we go back, we'll burn everything. Karen wondered what Raymond would look like, but he was just expressionless. He also looked a little depressed.

"Was your work hard?”

Karen looked at Raymond's face and asked. You looked very tired. He seemed to have rushed over as soon as he finished work. Karen saw him breathing weakly.

"…Yes, please."

Karen looked over Raymond's shoulder at the palace. The light was on. Raymond turned Karen's shoulder again.

"I'm sure you're still watching. Let's go.”

"Thank you for coming."

"You don't have to...You wouldn't have come here if it wasn't for me."

Fuck

Karen hit Raymond on the back. He looks down at Karen. Karen spoke out of amazement.

"Prince Gwiz is, as Lord Raymond said, a man who likes to eat his mother and daughter."

"A horse..."

"And Mr. Berdick set it on fire. He's just like that. Don't blame yourself."

But Raymond's face didn't change. He still didn't believe it. Does he think Karen was swept away by his work and made a sacrifice? What are you talking about?

"Do you have a handkerchief?"

"You don't carry it with you don't you?”

"A handkerchief is something that only men carry around.”

Karen got it from Raymond. It was a gray cloth without any pattern. It must be military. I didn't like it, but I wiped my lips roughly. Isn't this an indirect kiss with your mother? It was to erase the unpleasant thoughts of And when I was going to give it to Raymond, I just threw it to the floor.

"Oh."

"I'll just throw it away. I'll buy you a new one."

Karen trampled on her handkerchief as she spoke to Raymond.

"Hu."

Raymond opened the door to the carriage. Karen took Raymond's hand and climbed onto the carriage. I can see the palace from inside. The most splendid and beautiful gardens and palaces. My mother gave it up. It's not worth it. Then it's not worth it for Karen either.

"Lord Raymond."

He comes to save Karen. Karen's article. Romanticism is the background of a time when it is embarrassing to say honor after death, but he is still called a knight. It is not an honor given to a soldier who has made a contribution. Because they practice what they think is right. So the little Prince Louis admired this young knight, not his father, and Karen also bet on him.

"Let's go. And are you hurt?"

"No."

In fact, even if he doesn't love Karen, even that can be consoling. I'll come to save you even if you don't love me. He is not a soldier but a knight after all. Instead of giving Karen to satisfy the passion of the prince, Karen is taken out.

The action is above the ridicule of hypocrites, hypocrites, and pessimists. So Karen chose him. Even if he doesn't benefit him or love Karen, he won't let a woman get hurt and trampled in front of her. Even if you think Karen's a killer.

"That's a relief.”

Raymond handed Karen a blanket. Karen looked at the palace as she received the goods. Is Prince Gwiz still watching her in there? The daughter of the woman he missed.

Karen was curious. But Karen's vision was not as good as Raymond's. But I wanted to do this.

“…….”

Karen grabbed Raymond by the collar and kissed him. No, I was going to.

"Wait a minute. It's too much for us to do this yet."

It would have been possible if Raymond hadn't covered Karen's mouth with his hands. Oh, my God. He can't stop me. Karen opened her eyes wide with astonishment. Did you just say no?

"Sir Raymond, I'm really hurt."

"No, it's... I haven't seen it yet..”

"I'm just saying, "Look.”

“…….”

Raymond's expression turned a little dazed. He looked back. See something Karen won't see. And laugh.

Thack.

"What is it?"

"I don't want to be seen.”

Raymond closed the carriage. Then I pulled Karen's waist. It was a rough kiss that I had never experienced in all those years.

04. Confession of heretics

"You're wrong. You can't save this."

The doctor, who examined Zion, who vomited black blood, shook his head in embarrassment. 'I'm sorry. It's impossible.' Zion took poison. It was not an accident or accident, but a meal made to kill people. If it weren't for a little coincidence, it would have been Raymond who was out of breath. a meal of calculated murder Raymond asked the doctor again.

"Is there no way?"

"I'm sorry. My lungs are getting stiff. This is impossible."

Raymond saw Zion's face turning black. His breath was dying away. I've seen this face for a long time. The face of the dead body. But it's a color you shouldn't get used to. But experience keeps Raymond from hanging on. It prevents you from sobbing Raymond thinks of the limitations of what he can do.

"Let me confess before I die."

That would be the utmost kindness he could give. The doctor advised Raymond like that.

***

In the cathedral, constant prayers continue. Walk along the corridor and listen to people's prayers. People were constantly craving for something from God. You will call me, love me, eternal life.

Prayer of salvation continues. God, look after us. People's prayers go up to the high ceiling. Listen to our prayers. But the ceiling of the cathedral was too high. People's prayers go up endlessly. until it reaches God Will the prayer ever reach? Raymond looked up at the ceiling. It was too far.

“…….”

What he needed now was a time of waiting rather than prayer. He tried to pray, but the blessing of prayer was not given to him. If he didn't get the answer he wanted, he was afraid he might be tested.

Raymond always felt like he was being tested. Is life always difficult for others? Raymond, however, couldn't help but wonder that his problems were more difficult than others. Waiting is pain and pain is testable. Raymond pointed at his forehead. I hate this kind of time. cause to indulge in thought

"Lord Raymond Sayertes."

Fortunately, the wait was soon over.

Someone approached by Raymond. It was a young apprentice.

"Dulan the Father is here."

The apprenticeship quietly informed Raymond. Raymond turned his head. At the end of the steps of the cathedral, you can see the man Raymond was waiting for. Duran Lloyd. Raymond got up from his seat. Raymond came to meet Duran. I can see his pale face.
