Episode 74
“What’s going on?”
A man kneeling in front of her sent a letter politely .
“It’s a very important matter for you to check right away . ”
The woman opened up the letter .
After a while, there was a crumpled sound of paper in her hand .
“This is what the baron in the Empire witnessed and hurriedly reported . The possibility is really high . ”
“…what if it’s just a look-alike?”
“The age, as well as the appearance, is exactly the same . ”
There was no word from the woman . The man waited silently and asked carefully first .
“Shall we a spy? If you’re going to plant a man in a dukedom and find out… . ”
“No”
The woman who cut the man’s words spread her hand . The badly crumpled letter fell down .
“Somehow, I was suspicious . Yes, that’s the reason . It was all because of this that this country suddenly ruined . ”
“……”
“The one who should be dead was actually living well, so of course the country has to lean toward a curse . ”
The woman pulled up the corners of her mouth . Despite her expressionless face with a smile, her cold impression remained the same .
“The maid of honour, she deceived me, this is why she left the palace as she ran away . ”
“… . . ”
“Is that woman alive?”
“At the moment, her whereabouts are not fully verified, but she’s probably dead . ”
“That’s funny . She saved what she had to kill, and now she’s dead . What a stupid thing to do . ”
The woman who ridiculed the dead and laughed at them ordered .
“There’s no waste of time . Kill her right now with every possible move . So this time, bring her ‘real’ head to me . ”
“Okay . ”
“Mother!”
At that time, the door inside the corridor opened and a young woman, dressed in a bright yellow dress, jumped in .
The woman, who looked close to her early twenties, came up with a freewheeling gait and gave her a hug .
“Are you that excited to see the painting? The tea is getting cold . ”
“Oh, my God, have you been waiting? I’m sorry . ”
The woman’s face, which was like a piece of ice, melted softly for the first time .
The young woman, who looked just like the older woman, soon found a man, complaining .
“Oh, you were here too, old man . ”
“You should call him a ball, not an old man . ”
The woman spoke reproachfully, but her voice was ever so soft .
A young woman with a drooping red hair inherited from the older woman smiled brightly .
“I’ll be careful in the future . I’m sorry, ball . ”
“No, I’m fine . Please don’t mind me and call me at your convenience, princess . ”
“Well, you’re like this marquis, that’s why she’s getting spoiled like this . ”
“Mother, is that why you hate me?”
The young woman stared up at the older woman, blinking her amber-coloured eyes that resembled her mother .
The woman burst into laughter at the sight as if she couldn’t win .
“You are biting while knowing the answer clearly . Oh, who do you look like . ”
“If I don’t look like my mother, who would I look like with? Anyway, we’re going in now . The tea is so fragrant . ”
“Yes, let’s do that, Marquis, I’ll leave my seat . ”
“Don’t worry and go in . ”
After looking at a good relationship between mother and daughter, the man raised his head for a while .
He looked at the empty corridor and thought for a moment .
‘Even though they were born on the same day and at the same place, the treatment is so different . ’
But the man’s appreciation did not last long . He soon mechanically moved to fulfil his duties assigned to him .
“Lady!”
When I returned to the mansion, Bessie greeted me .
“It’s getting cold, but where do you keep going out like that”, I asked suddenly as I listened to her passionate nagging .
“Bessie . ”
“What?”
“Alex, what do you like about him?”
Only a few seconds later did Bessie answer screaming out the pack .
“Oh, I don’t like him yet! That’s little punk! Oh, my God!”
‘Yet’…
“It’s a step to get to know each other . ”
“E, ehm . No, how did you know that?”
“Are you really asking because you’re curious?”
To be honest, the nagging a little while ago was actually something Bessie should have heard rather than me .
It’s true that I’ve been out more often these days, but even so, it’s no match for Bessie, who’s busy going out with Alex .
As if to reflect on her past track record, Bessie remained silent for a while and soon blushed .
“Well . ”
I thought as I heard a strange cough .
‘I’m right, they’re flirty with each other’
Bessie really has a younger man . Regardless of whether the opponent is a new face or not .
‘What was the old woman doing?’
On the way back from Ari’s breakup, I suddenly remembered and went back to the street .
However, the tent that had been temporarily set up during the festival, had disappeared .
“Oh, come to think of it, my lady . The one I saw on the market street before . ”
“Huh? Oh, yeah . ”
“Do you remember? The fortune-teller told me I’d have a good relationship . He, um, he’s younger than me… . . ”
“I did remember . ”
I was a little late in answering the question because I was trying to hide my surprise . But Bessie didn’t seem to mind .
“I’m just saying since the lady knew about everything, but I realized that what I heard back then was right . ”
Bessie added with a bit of a flustering, perhaps ashamed of what she said .
“No, well, that doesn’t mean I’m doing something with Alex right now! Anyway, the atmosphere isn’t bad . Well . It’s like you said it’s a step toward getting to know . ”
“Good thing . Congratulations . ”
“Thank you . Oh, anyway, what chance did the fortune teller say there would be for my lady?”
“… . … . ”
“Isn’t there something you want? How about you, my lady? Do you really think you have a chance to achieve what you want?”
I couldn’t answer Bessie’s question with a good answer right away and dragged on a little .
After a moment a word managed to flow out .
“…I don’t know . ”
“What?”
“No, let’s go in . ”
“Lady, just now”
“Oh, it’s cold outside . Maybe it’s because I’m outside, but I’m suddenly reminded of your warm honey water . ”
“Oh, then you should have told me earlier! Please wait a little longer . ”
Bessie quickly forgot the existing topic and disappeared straight into the kitchen . Then she walked away happily without any intention to hide it .
‘She really likes honey water . ’
At any time, Bessie’s belief in honey water was not understandable .
‘Whoa . ’
I swallowed a subtle sigh and came up to the room .
‘……I’ll have to pack up again . ’
I spent my time in a dazed mood, and then I thought about it in the evening .
Yeah, I need luggage to run away .
The bag that I had packed in advance had been dismantled after being caught by Bessie last time .
Come to think of it, it was luck that Bessie only found the luggage bag and didn’t look at the contents in detail .
I disguised it as if I were going to the territory, so if she had seen the contents in person, it would have been difficult not to be suspicious .
‘Should I have just been caught then?’
At least I could have died without knowing my feelings .
I had such a crazy idea and soon jumped up and left the room . I felt like I couldn’t even think straight because I was so sick .
Of course, this sense of urgency may not necessarily be felt indoors, but after all, I moved out of the mansion to an open garden .
It was cool and dark outside .
As the weather got colder, the day fell down quickly . The darkened garden was showing its scenic beauty, relying only on the lanterns hung in the middle of the trail .
Perhaps because of my mood, the moonlight seemed particularly faint today . I was looking for any bench and sat down .
The wind that brushed the flesh out of the clothes was a little cold, but I didn’t care much .
‘…why am I doing this?’
I consulted silently, looking at the dim landscape of the garden .
‘I’ve wanted to run away . ’
I’ve wanted to run away . It was an opportunity that I’ve been waiting for .
I tried to escape from the terrible future and run away to somewhere far away from where Ash wouldn’t have to follow .
That’s why I tried to save Ari in the beginning .
In fact, I gave up for a while after the harvest festival . Because I thought there was no way .
But the opportunity came .
It was a miracle, fate or coincidence . The possibilities have come back, and I can set my hopes back .
‘But why… . ’
I should be happy .
Now that I can achieve what I’ve been looking forward to for years, I’m sure it’s not enough to jump and like right now .
“……I’m out of my mind, really . ”
A voice mingled with laughter dispersed into the air .
I know . I know why . What’s wrong with me? Why I’m not happy, why I can’t just like it?
‘Because there’s something I desired more . ’
Even if I run away and can survive safely, I can’t achieve what I really want .
So I couldn’t laugh .
That’s why I can’t feel happy, even though I’ve been able to run away .
I breathed out . The breath made a moment of air and disappeared without leaving a trace .
I blinked at the useless sight .
‘I wish my feelings could disappear like that . ’
I shouldn’t have known .
I wish I had . If I hadn’t realized, if I hadn’t known what I wanted, what I really desired, or something like that,
“Noonim . ”
I was stunned momentarily .
“Eh . ”
I looked back . Even in the dark, like a lie, the opponent’s appearance filled the view clearly .
