"She was Karen again.”

"It's not clear yet."

At Lind's words, Verdick shook his head. There was no need to be more cautious here. This part needs to be settled and the work goes on.

Karen Haier went missing, and there was a woman who couldn't talk about herself elsewhere. And she looks just like Karen Haier. Wouldn't it be better to just think of them as the same person?”

"But why is she here?"

"I don't know that."

Berdick was lost in thought at the telegram. You have to think. Why is she in Raymond's mansion?

I don't know where and what I might have missed.

Raymond and Karen.

Berdick was the only one to put the two together. How did they get entangled?

"Suspicious, but importantly, Isela's whereabouts, even if she's related to Raymond, it's a matter of the future."

The important thing is that we don't have much time now.

Verdick recalled what Raymond said. He said he will be busy for a while.

But Verdick knew most of Raymond's schedule. His informal work was mostly at a time when the interests of Prince Berdick and Prince Gwiz fit together. Sometimes he wanted to test a new weapon, and Raymond was the right candidate. But this time, Prince Gwiz made no announcement to Berdick. Who gave him the job? Marquis of Pancair?

The important thing is that Raymond isn't in the house anyway.

Why did he leave the house empty?

There must be 50 users in the Tess mansion.

But why is there only one woman?

What did he hide?

"The Baron Raymond Sayertes told me he was going away for a while."

Berdick told his men. The men exchanged glances. There is only one woman guarding the baron. They had nothing to be bothered about.

"Okay, then we'll be good enough to go on our own.”

One woman and one man were enough. There was no problem now that there were five suits. But Verdick shook his head. You never know.

"I send a telegram to the house. I want five more of you to be the ones with a big mouth."

"What are you going to do?"

"I search Baron Sears. Of course, that woman named Kelly."

Berdick was going to search hard.

I don't know what will come out.

Even in the worst-case scenario, Verdick had to move.

Perhaps the mansion has more than Raymond and Karen.

"You should also contact Prince Gwiz. I'll give you a bag of gold coins and all the sculptures and artworks you've mentioned before. I want to borrow people."

"…are you all right?"

Verdick grabbed Lind by the collar. Are you okay? Are you okay? What? Money? Or Isela? I couldn't stand it, one by one, because I was angry. It can't be okay! But these damn nerds were nodding off in front of Berdyk.

In the end, no matter how much money they paid, no matter how much they threatened and threatened, they were more relaxed than Verdick, who were not their own family. Berdick couldn't stand it. How can you guys act like you're all right? Why are you all right?

" ... toe, keep it to me again and act immediately. Do you understand?"

Lind nodded.

Berdick had to find out.

My eyes were bloodshot and my mouth smelled sweet. Lastly, it was a long time ago when I slept comfortably lying down. But I couldn't fall asleep. His daughter may be waiting for him somewhere.

Karen had an obligation to be thrilled with Raymond's love.

No matter how red the love is, it should be.

He was always kind to Karen. But it was cruel to others. So he was a more perfect male lead. a man who is only kind to himself Whatever he does, it's all for Karen alone. Even if Karen doesn't understand him, even if she stays away from him, his love will be absolute and perfect.

Karen was obliged to repay his love.

But sighs and sorrows did not stop. It was not because Karen was an adult who gave forgiveness and love to the enemy.

Karen's love for him was consistent and upside down. It was sad.

It was sad that the article Karen loved was now insane, and that was because of it was because of Karen.

Most of all, I didn't think his method would be right.

Karen remembers all her death.

Raymond will remember.

Karen died the day she was locked up in her room.

At the age of 117, something went wrong and could have died the day before, but it was when he was forced to do so.

Will it really survive this time if we hold out until that day?

I was anxious because there was nothing accurate.

He also desperately wants him to succeed, but his mother ran away from her repeated life after she pushed her life away. It ended only after he gave birth to himself. But he was infertile. If Duran had made himself infertile, it wouldn't end. Duran didn't care much about his death. There was no answer even when I married him. He doesn't remember anything. I don't know what he did when he was 17. No one knows what has changed even if it has changed.

All I could do now was wait until that day.

Now that I'm different, will that day be different?

Even so, there was one thing he had to do now.

Contrary to his mood, the sun was sunny, and the birds were singing and full of summer roses and hydrangeas. Raymond was holding a big bag ready to leave.

"You're not sure when you'll be back?”

"There's this and that together. It's hard to answer clearly because it's my first time trying this time. But he'll be back before that day."

"Don't forget to dress up when you come."

"Yes, I've clearly written down the measurements. But wouldn't it be better to gain more weight? I think it would be better to get it in a more generous size."

"Don't admonish me about my clothes."

"…yes."

"You have to buy the shoes as you ordered. I don't like cowhide, it has to be sheep."

"The lamb skin? That weak leather....”

"Because it's pretty."

"Yes, I won't argue. I'll buy what you wrote down, so don't worry too much."

Karen hasn't been sleeping well lately. It was because I felt complicated. Unlike Karen, however, Raymond had a light, flawless face. I talked about my clothes and shoes in a leisurely way and trimmed my clothes. And I saw Karen before I got on the horse.

"You don't want to go down to town because you don't talk."

"I know."

"Let's go anywhere when we're done. Whether it's a snow-covered field or a vast beach, it's all right. Is there any place you want to go?"

"Let's talk later."

It's still a long way to go. And Karen felt that the future was really too far away. Karen sighed. Then he grabbed Raymond's shoulder and kissed his lips. It touched briefly and fell off. It was a breath of kisses. Karen looked up at Raymond and said,

"Have a safe trip."

When Karen's face was not bright, Raymond also smiled a little bit bitter, perhaps pretending to be cheerful on purposely.

"If it's the king, I'd like you to smile."

"No."

"If I die and can't come back, you'll suffer for the rest of your life. 'Oh, I should have laughed at Raymond then!'

"…Lord Raymond, if you don't come, you can kill yourself right after that."

Raymond straightened his posture with a complex face. Pat Karen on the head and lower her head down. A slightly groaned voice followed.

"…well…I'd like to be angry about not saying that, but I have nothing to say because it's true again.”

"Right?"

Death was no longer a tragedy among them. Unless Karen knew she could start over at any time when she died, her death was as if she had just fallen. At least for Karen. She feared waiting more than her own death. Karen intended to kill herself immediately when Raymond died. You didn't have to wait before that day because you could die.

"I'll be back in a week."

"If you don't come, I'll kill myself. I don't want to wait."

"…but I wish I could live to the end.”

I should be more romantic.

"Do I really have to hang out in a world without you?”

"…I'm thrilled, but could you please think that what I'm trying to do right now, Karen, is for you to live?"

It doesn't work. But when Karen closed her mouth, Raymond shrugged and reached out to Karen. It meant to give Karen a hand. Karen held out her hand with a sigh of uncertainty.

"My life expectancy is pretty long, so it won't be short again."

"I envy that."

"Really? Why don't you try to live longer than I do?"

Raymond kissed the back of his hand and stepped back.

"Anyway, I'll be right back."

Even though they don't smile brightly, they break up with a sour smile.

The figure makes me laugh again. Eventually, Karen sent Raymond with a smile.

"See you later."

Blonde under the breaking sun is dazzling. Karen closed her eyes. The wind was fresh and petals fell on my cheeks. There was no peace in the ear, with the sound of the stream flowing and the sound of birds.

May he succeed.

He who strives deserves the fruit.

***

And the night came.

Karen lay alone in bed, brooding over the years.

Raymond is not in the house.

“…….”

Karen got out of bed. Half a day has passed. Raymond won't be back for a long time. There was not a horse left, so I had to walk down to go down to the village. It wasn't something I couldn't walk on. Should I wait until morning?

No, it's not. Karen suppressed her desire to go out. If you come forward and meet a bear or die from a robber passing by, you will have no face to see Raymond in your next life. I've decided to put up with it this time, so I have to put up with it.

But he didn't say anything about walking around the house.

Karen woke up.

"…Whoa."
