The Resetting Lady

"Please."

The secretary answered readily. He smiled brightly as he stared at Karen's face. Karen smiled and turned her head to Berdick. But Verdick did not laugh. He shook his head with an unpleasant face.

"No, thanks."

"Mr. Berdick."

"Lind, you stay put. Hurry up and let Lord Raymond know."

"Yes… I see."

"Mr. Berdick, it's not good to do that too much. I just came here without even notifying Lord Raymond Seyertes....”

"Lind."

The secretary shut her mouth. Karen turned away. You have to talk to Raymond. You have to think about what to do. If it were Raymond, three or four would kill him without difficulty. You have to kill him. It was unclear why Raymond was not the first to deal with Berdick. You should be angry.

to be weird

Berdick stared at the woman with red hair.

Alone in the Baron's family? Does that make sense? It was clear that he was hiding something. Berdick Evans clenched his fist. Doubts were creeping up.

His daughter disappeared. without a trace

Raymond Seyertes was attending an academic conference hosted by Count Solia at the time. Let's not think of anything strange. Let's not do it. We don't know yet.

"Isn't that Mr. Berdick Evans? Long time no see."

Raymond Seyertes was looking down at him from the stairs with a light smile.

knock, knock

It was when Karen, soaked in water, knocked on Raymond's door with Verdick in the hole. Karen's head was bursting at the thought of Verdick waiting downstairs.

That's right.

"Yes."

When Karen opened the door, Raymond was seen grooming his bag and gun. Two days later, Raymond had to leave home to work. No matter how many times he lives again, his job is like that. Raymond looked at Karen and put down what he was holding. Then he changed his countenance. Her whole body was wet with water.

"Caran, why in the water?"

Karen cut off Raymond's horse. That is not what matters. Karen did not want the conversation to flow in the wrong direction. Verdick is just below. to have no time

"Lord Raymond, we have a visitor."

"Who is it?"

"Berdick Evans is here. I haven't told you why I came, but I think I came for you."

Raymond's eyes soon turned calm. It is later to worry that she is wet. Raymond looked down at his bag and luggage and asked Karen again.

"I see. I'll get going. Karen, you'd better change your clothes first."

Raymond wasn't too embarrassed. Karen didn't know whether it was a good thing or not.

"Yes, and you remember me."

"…I see. Have I met you already?”

"Yes, I met you at the tower, not at home, because I was leaving on my father's behalf to break the contract."

Raymond nodded. His expression wasn't so bright, but it wasn't too dark. He just looked like he was going to come. Apparently Raymond said he was going to work, but he never mentioned Verdick. But now, Karen was a little nervous because she wasn't embarrassed by the sudden accident.

"Mr. Berdick is here."

Karen repeated it again. To make sure that he is here again. Raymond was so calm that Karen was rather embarrassed.

Why is that?

"Yes, Karen. I'm going down. It's a surprise that I've already opened my face with you, but... It won't be a big problem."

"…why did he come here?”

But Karen couldn't be as calm as Raymond. Karen could not understand Raymond's composure. Why are you so fine? Karen was embarrassed to see Raymond check her clothes again in front of the mirror.

Verdick has killed Karen dozens more times so far. It was never a good thing that Verdick appeared before Karen.

Karen seemed to have a dry mouth. This time Verdick thought he was out of touch with himself. Raymond remembered himself, and he was completely disconnected from Verdick. But it wasn't. And Karen remembers her nails. I remember people who were embarrassed by Isela's disappearance. I see the haggard Berdyk. Raymond. Isela. If it were, wouldn't it be an advancement of Karen's death? But Raymond looked calm.

"I know. I know why you're here. But it's not something you care about. Well, what should I do? Even if I recognized you, I wouldn't want to send you outside right now."

"First of all, I insisted I didn't recognize him. But I don't believe it at all."

"…why don't you give it an alias and call it memory loss?"

"Can you believe it?"

Karen didn't think Berdyck would believe a convenient arrangement like amnesia.

"Even if you don't believe it, it won't be a problem. It's not that important. And please be careful from now on. More than that, I was surprised when you came in."

When Raymond saw Karen dripping with water, his face quickly faded. But when Karen talked about Verdick, she became rather calm, and the embarrassment seemed to have disappeared. Raymond even looked in the mirror and organized his clothes.

"Carran, why are you wet?"

"I fell into the stream."

with a rattle.

Raymond stopped organizing his clothes and approached Karen. As if that's all that matters.

"…I thought I enjoyed swimming."

Then I grabbed Karen by the shoulder.

"Obviously, where I'm in danger... Don't... Don't go."

Raymond clenched his teeth while talking. It wasn't Berdyk that matters now. But the fact that Verdick was waiting outside made Raymond hold on to reason. Karen was a little scared of what he would say without Berdyk. Raymond's face was just as serious.

"I'm glad I'm not hurt, but I'd better refrain from going out to the garden alone from now on. I'm afraid I can' While I'm not here. You must stay inside the house. Berdyk... actually better not to go out now. Just call me a maid."

"Lord Raymond."

"I'll take care of Verdick. There is no need to panic. Change your clothes first."

Raymond sighed as he let Karen change her clothes. Then he took the bag and put it down under the bed.

"Long time no see, Mr. Berdick Evans."

Verdick looked at Raymond and felt a strange, mysterious. Raymond was definitely a young man he had seen so far, but his attitude, eyes and voice were strangely annoying.

Why?

Verdick was used to seeing through people.

Verdick has seen Raymond since he was very young, when he was just below his chest. He was a doll-like man that his daughter wanted. The problem was that he was too competent, but even so, the childish rebelliousness unique to young people was always blazing in his eyes. He was attractive, but his attitude was also a weakness.

But the Raymond in front of me is strangely... It was annoying. Verdick didn't know how to describe the unfamiliarity he felt.

"You're wet. Isn't it cold?"

"Never mind."

Berdick replied and regretted a little. You should have just said that you did a good deed to save that maid. I think you're here to get Raymond's approval. But Raymond's eyes were strangely unpleasant. As I entered the mansion, I felt it when I saw that red-haired woman.

"Cally, I'd appreciate it if you could drop me off to meet the number of people.”

Raymond looked at Karen and ordered. You said you were going to call me, but I guess you kissed me like that. Berdick looked pitifully at them for not doing anything funny. Calli from Karen. I think it's a very thoughtless trick. Berdick pointed his finger at a red-haired woman who did not make eye contact with him and told Raymond.

"Isn't her name Karen, not Kelly?"

Raymond replied with a brazen smile.

"I'm calling her Kelly."

"I've seen that girl by the name of Karen Haier."

If you want to lie, you'd better change it to a more plausible name. Berdick thought he might need to learn more about Karen Haier.

Isela Evans, her daughter is gone. And why is Karen Haier with her daughter's ex-fiancée? Verdick's head began to spin quickly. Raymond, Karen Haier, Baron Sayertes.

"Is that so? Well, Mr. Berdick. Is that why you're here? If you want to make an in-depth search for her name, I'

When Raymond asked, Verdick shut up.

I didn't expect you to hit me like this.

Raymond has no intention of making a proper excuse now. That attitude was rather what you would do if you did. Berdick thought of Isela, the reason why he came now. The reason why he came here is because Icela Evans' hair arrived through here. It was to find any more clues. It is still too early to dig into Karen. There was a risk of falling into branches without being able to follow the main point. It was out of focus to continue talking about Karen.

“…….”

But that sharp reaction needed to be remembered. Berdick glanced at Karen, who still had wet hair, or Calli (though Berdick thought it was a rather insincere name), and turned to Raymond. It's not her that counts. It could be a clue.

"That's not it. There is a mail that arrived at my house....”

"You'd better go in and speak.”

Raymond cut off Verdick and turned his toes inside. His behavior was rude, but his expression is very gentle. It is an attitude that does not hide that there is still a grudge against Verdick. It is rather suspicious because it is too blatant.

"I thought you would. Why don't you go to the drawing room first? Of course, Mr. Berdick knows about this house."

It wasn't Berdyk's taste, but this mansion had its own charm. History, too. But I didn't like my current house. Verdick looked sideways at the interior of the mansion.

"I haven't visited in a long time and I can't remember much. I'll ask for your guidance."

"With pleasure."

There were many strange things. Why are they alone in this mansion? And why is she hiding her name? But the most important thing is her daughter, Icela Evans. She's missing. And to get it right, Raymond's permit is needed.

"Two separate cups, please."

"Yes."

Raymond jawed Karen (as if she were a Kelly). Karen bowed her head and retired like a maid.

"Let's go to the drawing room first and talk. I have to leave soon because I also have work to do...Do you want a change of clothes?"

Raymond said as he looked up and down at Verdick's wet clothes. Verdick was mortified by the look of kindness or ridicule. Why did you do something you didn't do?

"That's enough."

Karen looked down at the teacup.

You have to think about what you can do.
