The Resetting Lady

When Verdick disappeared, their daily lives were repeated again. Obviously, Karen thought Verdick would get along better with them if they left. But it wasn't. Anxiety pummeled up little by little. There were many reasons, but the most disturbing of them was guilt.

There was only one person important to Karen.

Raymond Sayertes was the only one for her, and he was all positive about it. It would be the same with Raymond. The two are the only ones in the book.

Raymond always did his best even when Karen was executed, even at the moment he couldn't remember for the past 100 years.

I've seen Raymond's face for 100 years.

As soon as I saw Raymond's face from the tower, I could see the time flowing from his face and eyes. It wasn't just a movement, a courtesy, or something like that. How can we stop the overflowing emotions and tears from those eyes?

No matter how many times a book repeats, the beginning is Karen. Raymond was caught up. Karen knows that he's the reason he's remembered and he's changed so much.

Raymond has changed.

No matter how much he spoke of love, recited revenge, and acted cautiously, he could not deny that he had essentially changed.

Of course, that doesn't mean Karen doesn't love Raymond. How can I not love him? How can he not be lovely when his change is due to his change. However, anxiety accumulated more and more inside.

Karen didn't have to feel guilty about anyone, but she had to feel guilty about him.

"Make a bet with me."

"If you really love me, I'll help you.”

What did Duran do to Raymond? Karen confessed to Duran that Raymond was her love, and that if she loved him, she would not choose anyone but him. I couldn't think of anyone else besides him. Karen chose then, and Raymond remembered everything since. And he changed because of Karen. It was both happy and sad.

"…what's wrong with you?"

"It doesn't taste good. In the meantime, I guess I got used to the chef's meal."

Karen answered, finishing up the soup. Raymond bowed his head in perplexity.

"I'm sorry."

"It's all right."

Well, Karen felt bitter because the conversation she was trying to say lightly was getting heavy again. Raymond was really sorry for her. If someone else said, "Eat as you're given," Karen would have said, "Eat as you are".

"In the near future... I'll learn more about cooking."

"It's really okay, Lord Raymond."

Karen said again. But the atmosphere got darker. I want to talk about something, but I don't know what to say. And I don't know what's light.

"Just say it."

"What?"

Raymond saw Karen. He looked a little sad, looking at Karen's face.

"I don't know unless you tell me. Karen, there's a limit to what you know just by looking at your eyes. Just if you ask me."

"You won't tell me everything if you ask."

"I'll tell you everything I can."

“…….”

"No, I'll tell you everything."

Raymond corrected himself and said, Karen didn't want to make him suffer either. Calculating a line that would not hurt each other was rather becoming more hurtful. Karen felt a little like crying.

"Sir Raymond, no... It's not a wonder. Mr. Verdick called you Baron. Are you sure you're a baron this time?"

"That's right. One of the reasons I went up this time was to get a baron."

Raymond answered meekly. Karen nodded her head.

"Your brother, Baron Sayertes, wasn't supposed to be dead yet, but he must have died early."

"That's right."

Karen bit her lip once.

"…did you kill him?"

"Yes."

It was a very determined answer. Raymond decided to tell Karen everything about him rather than hiding it. And I wasn't ashamed anymore. I just wanted to tell you what happened. Karen nodded, too. He should not have avoided himself.

"When is it?"

"As soon as I got my memory back."

"…why did you do that?”

"I needed a baron to keep you safe faster and safer in this mansion."

"Oh... you did.”

His voice was a little shaky. Karen had to get her voice together.

A hundred years ago Raymond didn't believe Karen was going to live again. One of many reasons was his brother. For more than 100 years, Raymond's brother has always been a dead man. There was a difference in the period, but he was always dead. Unlike Lord Haier, who lived at the time, he was ill and always died and handed over the baron.

"You didn't know my brother was going to die."

"You're just sick."

By the words Raymond had said before the 117-year-old death penalty, Karen could see his faith. Raymond at that time concluded that if Karen knew the future, if she really lived again, she would definitely talk about her brother. If you've really seen him in your life over and over again, you can't let his family die, which he finds terrible.

But now he's a dead brother anyway, so he's the one who kills first. My tongue was prickly.

"Did you go to kill him this time?”

"It's not like that, Karen. You've always been dead before that day. I'm just pushing the timing a little further. It's been a long time since my brother died."

"I see."

"Am I disgusting?"

Raymond looked directly at Karen. I could feel the blackness in my voice. Karen shook her head.

"I can't believe that."

“…….”

"I'm just afraid your efforts won't work this time."

Karen remembers the moment she fell from the tower. Raymond left everything he had. Even though it's not worth it. So Karen told Dulan how that man might not be her love. But Karen is still dead.

"Lord Raymond, I'm sorry you changed because of me."

Raymond looked as if he had been hit by a blow.

"Why are you sorry to me?”

How can I not be sorry?

Karen had to speak slowly. This is because he felt like he would get choked up if he did something wrong.

"You could have lived your life apart from me. You know, there was no such thing as a world in a book. I'm just like a mother... I was just born like this. And…."

Karen was suffocated. So far, Karen has not told Raymond that Duran is an important key to the problem. And I know why I feel guilty about Raymond. Even if Dulan was killed, he was not afraid of death. Dulan was the only place to get the answer, but the threat didn't get it from him.

"I've been thinking. You could have just lived your life, but why did you fall into hell with me and crawl on the floor......because of my choice, after all.”

Karen shut her mouth.

In the end, Raymond fell to the bottom because Karen chose him. Because he told Duran that he was my male lead. It's because he's handsome, it's his fault that he's really plausible like the hero of a romance novel, and when I saw Raymond, who tried to move on but changed, I was suffocated again. Karen really loved Raymond 'now.'

Raymond's revenge on Berdick has become very trivial. Too much has happened. Raymond's brother died, Prince Louis died, and Isela died. He was a person who was hesitant to hurt even Icela, and the series of events all seemed to be related to Raymond.

For more than 100 years, Karen has seen Raymond. I loved him. Every aspect of him. He believed that he would always be next to me. After all, the belief did not change in the back of his mind after he gave up that he was not a knight who would save him from eternal life. As a result, Raymond's life became like a book.

Karen remembers her more innocent past.

Even though you've been repeated and bored and given up many times, you have to remember the first time. Karen believed she was in the book with Nancy's brainwashing, and trembled, believing that she would die if she did not love her. Duran was infinitely lacking and blunt. At that time, the fairy tale article that approached Karen was Raymond. He approached Karen first.

"I have a scary dream. In fact, it's all like a dream... It feels like a book."

"You look like my male lead."

From the beginning, the first love was really simple, young, and fresh love. Raymond in a vague memory smiled a little embarrassedly, but he didn't say anything to Karen. It was just an honor," he said with a smile.

But what has happened since then?

It was only a year. In fact, it was love less than a year ago. They had always only repeated careful first encounters and tensions. They had few minor arguments in reality and always ended at the perfect moment of love.

an exchange of only a few months

Karen had no choice but to cling to it. I thought love was the only way out of this world. After more time, it was such a short moment that I wondered if it was love.

He had dreamed of the world outside the book ever since death. But I was never afraid to leave Raymond. The love for Raymond was only that much. At first I thought it was love, but as he went on and on, it was just a means to get out of the book.

The shallow love had been hardened for 100 years, and he wanted Raymond to remember himself, so he was dragged down from the ordinary man's life and wandered on the typeface like himself. And now Karen truly loves him. Nevertheless, there was no answer.

Because eating, drinking, and sleeping alone in this mansion won't end this life.

They will be the only people who walk on the paper forever.

What is true love that Duran said? If you can't conceive, this time will eventually repeat itself forever. Karen was happy and sad to be with Raymond in this life. Raymond has changed only to save Karen and is trying so hard.

"...because of me.”

Nevertheless, his death will be repeated. Raymond will live another life after that, and we will meet again with all our memories. Unless Dulan can get an answer, that's the only way. I had to tell Raymond this, but Karen couldn't stop talking.

Complex emotions and time passed. It was Raymond who opened his mouth first.

"Carran, you don't have to feel sorry for me at all."

Raymond smiled at Karen. It was such a peaceful and sure smile.

But Karen shook her head.

"No, I should be sorry for you."

Now I really had to say it.
