The Villain Changed the Ending

076 A new start for two people

***[René, Mrs.]***

‘Maybe it’s good.’

Renee felt the gaze of the escort sitting across from her and shrank her body slightly.

It’s as if the escort’s eyes are actually groping her body one by one.

An aristocratic girl who had belonged to this world since birth might not have known exactly what danger lay behind that gaze.

Maybe you just thought it was bad.

However, it is Renee who has already experienced married life as an adult on Earth.

He was fully aware of the dangers of the escort’s gaze.

‘Dangerous. If this goes wrong… No, no. There’s no way that could happen.’

The escorts were those who formally ate the baron’s fortune.

I will not disobey the baron’s orders.

But if they think no one knows what they’re doing, they don’t know what they’re going to do.

Being a human being is a way to do things that no one else knows, and do things that you wouldn’t normally imagine.

Renée knew what women would do if they were isolated in a state of war or disaster struck.

You can easily see it in the news.

On Earth, I thought it was a foreign, distant country.

But now.

Renee closed her eyes tightly, turning her head away as if she hadn’t noticed anything.

“…”

The escorts weren’t like this from the beginning.

At first, he properly stayed outside the wagon, and used the coachman’s seat when resting.

However, as the days passed and they moved away from the capital, their attitude gradually changed.

Before they knew it, they took turns entering and sitting in the carriage one by one.

‘Should I have seen the opportunity and ran away?’

I thought I had to do something about Catherine before I got to the monastery, but I wasn’t really sure the woman was going to do anything.

The novel and the progression are very different.

Oscar doesn’t love him either, so Catherine may not be interested in this side.

No, I thought it would.

With that in mind, going to a monastery seemed like a good option.

If the demonic beasts flooded even belatedly, hiding in the monastery would be rather helpful in securing their lives.

When demon beasts pop up here and there, there is an opportunity to escape from the monastery.

I thought it would be all right if Katrin didn’t mess with it.

‘But before that, if something happens to the escorts.’

Thinking like that makes me scared and I can’t stand it.

When will you arrive at your destination?

In the novel, it was only shown when they arrived at the monastery, without expressing that it took several days in the middle.

So, how far he had to go, or what the name of the monastery was, Renée did not know.

Even if you ask the escort, he won’t answer.

I just said it’s far away.

Several times the monastery was seen in the distance, but nowhere did the carriage stop.

And several times the escorts stayed long in a city or village, waiting for something to happen.

He didn’t tell me what was going on, but he seemed to be getting money with the letter.

It occurred to him that perhaps he had shared the travel expenses so that Renee would not be snatched away midway or did something strange.

‘Then it will be fine. Yeah, it’ll be fine.’

how long did it run

It seems that he fell asleep while shaking.

The wagon was still rumbling incessantly.

When the sun almost reached the ground and the sky was turning red, an escort’s voice was heard from the driver’s seat.

“Im here.”

When I put my head out the window in surprise, I saw the shape of a shabby monastery in the distance.

It was not in the city, but in a remote place.

‘Do you live in a place like that?’

For some reason, it seems a little different from the monastery that appeared in the novel.

The monastery in the novel was a strict place for noble ladies to enter, but that place.

‘Are people still alive?’

Feeling uneasy, Renee clenched her fists tightly.

***[Heroine Oscar]***

It was afternoon a few days ago that I finished work.

I took a shorter break than usual and headed to the dukedom rather hurriedly.

The escort captain, officials, and soldiers looked at me with a smirk for some reason.

“…”

I know what they want to say.

But this is not like missing a young wife, or sweet and sour love, or passion, or the fever of love, as they think.

It is true that she was in a hurry because she was worried about Catherine, but it was only to ensure that the face of the Marquis Petrie and Catherine’s position as the Duchess would not be weakened.

In order to get others to respect your wife, it’s best to be polite yourself first.

In the case of the mother, the role was played by the grandfather and Benno.

This time it is my turn to honor and honor Duchess Catherine, as they did.

I had to show her that I was out there, but I hurried back, never on purpose.

In addition, you must prepare for the hunting season.

There was not enough time to leisurely walk around.

“…”

It’s absolutely not because I miss the young bride I haven’t seen in months, so don’t smirk like that.

“Stop it, Captain.”

The escort captain is especially serious.

The smile doesn’t seem to stop.

“sorry.”

“Don’t just say you’re sorry, do something with that gaze. I’m not like a young man in love.”

“sorry.”

“…”

I don’t really feel dignified in front of people who have known me since childhood.

I couldn’t stand the smile of my father from the escort captain and the others, and I ran a little faster.

*

When he saw the duke’s mansion, the people from the mansion who had been contacted beforehand were there.

When I go out for a long time, they always greet me outside like this.

The longer the period of being away from home, the more employees came out, and the shorter the period, the fewer people were greeted.

But the thing that doesn’t change is that my mother and the butler always welcome me.

This time, Catherine is added to it.

Mother always stood in the front, but today Katrin was standing there.

My mother stands half a step behind me at an angle.

And the number of servants greeted was enormously greater than at any other time.

‘It’s no joke to see everyone come out like this.’

It’s not like I’ve been away for months or half a year, so it’s abnormal that there are so many of them.

Under normal circumstances, only the mother, the head butler, the head maid, and the head servants in charge of each field would have appeared.

But I think most of them came out today.

The number of people lined up behind Catherine is no joke.

‘Am I being loved that much?’

The story that there are so many servants means that even the mother agrees with it, which is somehow strange.

Since Catherine was young, did she feel like she had a daughter rather than a daughter-in-law?

Besides, it seems that Katrin has grown to an abnormally large size while I haven’t seen her.

Originally, she was small in stature.

Even now, my body is thin and small, but for some reason, I only grew taller.

It looks like bean sprouts with only one strand extending from the steamer.

‘Aren’t my legs too long?’

When I got off the horse thinking that something was wrong, Katrin lowered her body and greeted me politely.

“Thank you for your long work. Welcome.”

Katrin’s eyes looking at me with her head up are twinkling as if stars would come out even now.

“Thanks for the welcome, Katrin.”

As I answered, the eyes of the people around me were also shining brightly.

It’s somehow incredibly burdensome.

After briefly saying hello to Katrin, I approached my mother.

“Mother, I’m back.”

“Good work, Oscar. Katrin has been waiting for a long time.”

“yes.”

I laughed lightly.

Know.

Even on this journey, the letters she wrote with love every day arrived in bundles.

I took Catherine’s hand to enter the mansion.

Me and Katrin led the way, followed by my mother, escorted by the butler.

After walking a few steps, I noticed that Katrin’s movements were a bit odd.

For some reason, his movements are stiff and he seems to be unable to walk properly.

“Catherine, are you sick somewhere?”

“…”

Katrin’s face turned a little red.

“Sorry, Mr. Oscar. The first pair of shoes I put on were a bit awkward.”

To the point where you can’t walk properly?

Something strange stopped me, and I realized again that she was definitely too tall.

It’s a bit strange that even if you’re a teenage girl and growing up, she’s grown this much in just a few months.

Of course, I grew up that way, but Katrin grew taller, but her body was the same as she had seen before.

When I stopped, my mother, who was following me, burst into a small laugh.

“Look, Katrin. Those shoes are too early for you.”

“Mother, what kind of shoes are these?”

When I asked, my mother answered with a smile.

“It’s called Chopin. These are very high shoes that are popular among ladies these days. I have them too, but it’s very difficult to walk on, so I need help from a lady-in-waiting.”

“…”

I got down on one knee without saying anything.

“Oh, oh, Mr. Oscar!”

Katrin shouted in surprise, swinging her arms forward.

However, only the upper body moved, but the legs did not move.

It seems that it is quite difficult to move, as my mother said.

Ignoring Katrin’s refusal, I slightly lifted the hem of my skirt, revealing an incredibly tall column in the space inside the round bell-shaped dress.

“What is this?”

That word came out without my knowledge.

There is a thick pillar under the shoe.

Her feet rested precariously on the pillar.

It seemed to be a kind of platform shoe, but the heel of the earth was as high as the blood of a bird’s foot.

Aren’t these shoes?

I turn my head to see Benno, and he lowers his head a bit.

“I have a different pair of normal shoes.”

As soon as Benno finished speaking, an attendant came out from behind and held out a pretty box, opening the lid.

Inside were pretty shoes like flowers.

It is made of silk.

When the attendant lifted it slightly, he could see the floor.

Whether it’s for indoor use or it’s made of soft leather, it seems to be comfortable to walk on.

Catherine’s maid, Anne, kneeled respectfully next to me.

“Duke, I will do it. Please wait a moment.”

Before she knew it, a small portable chair was placed behind her, and her mother’s maids supported her and sat her down, hiding their smiles.

Catherine looks down.

Her face, which had been shining just a moment ago, had become like a star that had gone out.

When you’re 14, you’re in the middle of wishing that time would pass quickly.

I could fully understand the desire to become an adult.

But these shoes don’t.

These aren’t shoes, they’re weapons.

I glanced at the high pole shoes that the maid had taken off and put beside me, and then fixed my eyes on Katrin.

“Catherine, you’re beautiful enough and mature enough without wearing these things. So please don’t do anything dangerous.”

“… yes.”

My mother, who was watching from the side, struggled to hold back a laugh and said,

“It’s nothing dangerous, Oscar. It’s just a shoe.”

“Mother, I ask you too. Please don’t wear shoes like that. If you fall while walking, you’ll get seriously hurt.”

Are shoes shoes that can only be walked with support from others in the first place?

I turned a stern expression to Benno.

“Benno, from now on, I don’t want these Chopin shoes to be seen in this house.”

Even if I am the head of the household, I cannot command my mother.

Then the mother’s face is ruined.

Because of that, when I circumnavigate my words the way I speak to Benno, the shoulders of Mother and Katrin go down a bit.

Especially Catherine.

“It’s very expensive.”

Catherine murmured softly.

Seeing that Anne’s face is also slightly pale, I don’t know if she also has or ordered this Chopin.

However, this kind of thing is not recognized as a shoe. It’s absolutely forbidden in this house.

Katrin, who had changed into silk shoes, shrank and shrunk again.

When you stand next to me, you are like a child.

As if she didn’t like the height difference, Katrin sighed lightly.

When I suddenly looked towards the servant, everyone was smiling at Katrin.

It seems that everyone in the mansion has melted in easily, and the remaining gate is the vassal family.

If she had done that properly, she would have taken her first steps as a duchess without difficulty.

“…”

Just before returning, I received a letter from my mother.

My mother rarely sends me things like that when I’m out.

But I think I really wanted to say something.

[It must have been quite a struggle for her to rise to the level she is now, Oscar. When you return, ask Katrin for encouragement.]

It looks like an elegant swan, but in a place where you can’t see it, did you try hard to row your flippers?

‘That young, puffy-mouthed child.’

A smile appeared on my face as well.

“Ma’am, raise your hand.”

When I held out my hand, Katrin’s face began to glow again.

It seems she likes the word wife.

‘The expression changes really well.’

I smiled and escorted Catherine into the house.

It made me feel really strange that Catherine was in the ducal family.

‘Of course, since I’m married, it’s only natural that she’s there.’

It feels like the two of us are playing house.

I think it would be okay for childhood friends to become adults and naturally become husband and wife in this way.
