The Villain Changed the Ending

Chapter 42

042 Write it down, killing department?

****[Catherine, fiancee]****

High-ranking aristocratic families use paper with their own unique patterns.

The same was true of the Marquis of Petri, and the paper Catherine was writing was faintly engraved with patterns.

Katrin wrote letters on them one by one and went down.

write it down

“My lady, what are you doing?”

While moving the pen while recalling memories, Anne suddenly asked.

I kept going back and forth and watching, but it seems that I couldn’t hold back any more questions.

“I’m writing down your name.”

“I know that when I see it, but why are you writing it down?”

“Huh hu hu hu hu hu hu. You asked me well, Anne.”

“… I suddenly feel like I don’t want to hear it.”

Anne turned around as if she had some business to do.

Catherine quickly reached out and grabbed Anne.

“Wait, Anne. If the woman draws the knife, you’ll have to cut the radish.”

“Where else did you hear that?”

“My aunt said.”

“… that’s a good word.”

“Right? Now then, ask me again.”

“…”

“… Okay, you don’t have to ask. First of all, how cool was my Oscar.”

“I’ve heard that so many times that it’s deafening. Now I can memorize it all, young lady.”

Anne let out a small sigh.

“Have some patience, Anne.”

“… Hey lady… Skip the Duke… I want to hear what his name is.”

But the question of what this name is doesn’t begin without mentioning Oscar’s beauty.

I thought so, but Anne’s eyes were so rotten and dead that Catherine couldn’t help but nod her head.

Well, I have a feeling that I talked too much for a few days.

Katrin put her finger on the name at the top of the paper.

“This is the daughter of a baron from the north. She is 18 years old this year, but her marriage has not yet been decided. This is from the south… and this woman is from a Shinheung family. “I’m stabbing the noble family. He’s already married two of his daughters to poor nobles. And this woman…”

As I pointed out and explained one by one, Anne tilted her head.

“What do these women have to do with you? Why are you collecting these women’s names?”

“I’m not collecting, Anne. These women are all my enemies.”

“… The lady said something strange again.”

Anne let out a small sigh.

“So I said I should start by explaining Oscar’s beauty. These women are all candidates for Oscar’s lover or lover. They’re a pack of wild dogs that are out to bite my Oscar whenever they have a chance.”

“…”

Anne looked at the paper, and held out the list of names she had put aside.

“Isn’t the list too many? If I keep writing it down like this, I think most of the girls in the social scene this year will be there.”

“That’s it, no.”

Katrin’s eyebrows lifted up of their own accord.

You can tell how much your eyebrows are raised without looking at them.

It’s not just the eyebrows.

The whole face was pulled up.

i’m going to die mad

“Among the women in the banquet hall, it was quicker to find someone who hadn’t fallen in love with Oscar-sama, even women with husbands. The whole world is your enemy.”

“That’s an exaggeration.”

Anne laughs hahahaha

But that’s because I don’t know.

You should have seen those girls eyes.

“The names on this list are all women who have been vouched for by the Marquis de Hoven and other wives. I’m just collecting names that I’m pretty sure they’ll add to their family.”

“… uh… is it real?”

“…”

Anne’s eyes widened.

Are you surprised?

yes, are you surprised?

Because the list is long.

But it really is.

On top of that, the advice from the Marquis of Hoven, who is Oscar-sama’s grandmother, was as sharp as stabbing a knife into his chest.

Besides the list, a woman who does not want the benefits of family or the benefits of a lover is more dangerous.

I heard that there are women who say that even a brief moment of play with fire is fine, and that there are women who are satisfied just by exchanging words as if passing by.

It is said that such women can rather attract Oscar-sama’s interest because they are pure or only want physical pleasure.

Being a man means being weak against favor no matter what it is.

My aunt used to say the same thing.

If both experienced women are talking, it’s definitely dangerous.

But why do women like that exist?

can not understand.

‘To have eyes on other people’s men, cunning things.’

I was starting to get angry for some reason.

My heart is bubbling and boiling.

Whoa… Whoa… Katrin took a deep breath to calm the rage that spread like wildfire.

Catherine, calm down.

Do not be angry.

You have to be cool.

When a woman is angry, a man wants to run away from her, rather than appease her.

So never be angry in front of a man.

This is what my aunt emphasized over and over again.

Of course, Oscar-sama isn’t here, but as if he’s always by my side.

“…”

My heart sank a little when I thought of Oscar’s smiling face.

‘thank god.’

I didn’t show that kind of face to other women.

In the banquet hall, only she monopolized that expression.

Delighted by that fact, Katrin took one look at the names of the women on the list and snorted.

‘Whoops, no matter how much you want my Oscar, you’ll never get it. Because that person is mine. Heart, smile, day and night, everything about that person is mine.’

Anne said in awe.

“My lady, what are you doing? Are you fighting over a list of names?”

“… Nam Isa.”

Catherine looked back at her desk and started writing her name.

The paper that Anne had been holding peeked out, and the name written on the top caught my eye.

Renée of Baron Meyer.

In the nobility yearbook at home, her name was not written.

Probably because it is produced and distributed once a year.

However, judging from the rumors of the banquet hall, it was the first time she stepped into aristocratic society.

And it is said that soon the marriage will be decided.

Recalling the woman’s face, Catherine’s heart sank a little.

It was certain that the woman saw Oscar and fell in love.

However, it could be because many of the women present did.

It is unavoidable.

It didn’t look like we knew each other in particular, and it was probably the first time we’d met.

The problem was Oscar.

‘I was paying attention to her for some reason.’

It didn’t feel like I was staring at her or falling for her.

But apparently, he gave Catherine a look several times so that she wouldn’t notice.

I didn’t show it, but I can tell.

‘Rene.’

For some reason, the woman’s face was lodged in his head and did not come off.

“miss?”

When I came to my senses at the sound of Anne calling, the pen in my hand dug deep into the paper.

It seems that he scratched the desk with a pen without realizing it.

The pen tip punctures the paper and smears the ink so that the letters are unrecognizable.

“Are you all right, lady?”

“of course.”

Katrin rang her nose in excitement.

‘are you okay. A woman like that.’

Catherine does not lose to such a woman.

Women cheer up!

Katrin straightened her back and wrote down the names of the women she remembered.

****[Oscar, the main character] ****

There is a port city about ten days away from the royal capital.

Since it was the closest port to the capital, the road there was well paved.

It’s not paved like on Earth, but there are roads that run from village to village, long enough for wagons and wagons to pass through.

Few roads in this world have been paved like this.

Security was also good because a considerable amount of goods came and went between the capital and the port city.

I led about twenty soldiers and ran towards it.

It was because I received news that a ship that had left for another continent a few years ago had returned.

I’m investing a considerable amount in a ship I came across through Benno’s introduction when I was young.

There are cases where the ship is pirated or wrecked in the middle, so there is a lot of risk of losing the principal if you make a mistake.

However, if the ship returns with its cargo properly, the profit will far exceed one or two failures.

Having already been profitable on that ship twice, it was well worth the risk.

By the time we arrived at the port city, the sky was turning red with the sunset.

The city was carved out of the plains along the coast and the surrounding low mountains.

On one side was a low mountain, and on the other side was a wide expanse of the sea bathed in the sunset.

And along the coast, houses are attached to each other and lined up in a long line.

Some ships are anchored in the nearby sea, while others are deep into the harbor.

A small boat came out of the boat in the distance and went back and forth between the pier and the boat.

“It’s beautiful no matter how many times you look at it.”

As I muttered, the captain of the escort moved aside.

“I remember the first time I came here with the Duke. He was riding in a carriage then.”

“Yes. I remember.”

He first came to this city at the age of five, when he had just become a duke.

“I was on my way back after having an audience with His Majesty.”

Now I can ride a horse, so the time to come and go is shorter, but even then, I had to take a long break and spend a considerable amount of time on the road.

Benno took care of him, fed him fruit and water every hour, and sometimes held him.

“Somehow I miss you.”

At my words, the escort captain narrowed his eyes and smiled.

It also seems to remind me of my childhood.

The captain of the escort looked at me with emotion and muttered.

“To think that a young man grew up like this and became taller than me… I really don’t know the future. To be honest, back then I never thought I would become this manly. We all grew up looking like girls dressed as men. I thought you would.”

“…”

The amount of emotion is the amount of emotion, but it seems to be in a strange direction.

The soldiers nearby laughed wahahahaha.

Some of them have served as escorts since I was a child.

A few people nodded their heads at the escort captain’s words and made strange faces.

To put it bluntly, it’s like a feeling of resentment.

After a good laugh, we went deep into the city.

As the men on horseback rushed in, people’s eyes suddenly turned this way.

But when I come here, people don’t seem to notice that I’m a high-ranking aristocrat because I dress modestly.

No one made a fuss when they saw me, because I was wearing a coat with a hat on, so I couldn’t see my face.

As our party rode forward, the people filling the street hurriedly ducked to the side of the road.

There are no ships as big as the ship I invested in, but there were several ships in the port.

People were crowded in each boat.

People unloading goods from the ship, men shouting swear words and fist bumping, and even shop assistants shouting prices to the sailors who have been stuck on the ship for a long time.

Various types of people scream and move busily.

The escort captain’s face, which had been smiling a moment ago, instantly frowned.

It seems that it is because of Chang-gwan’s soliciting behavior.

‘He must be reluctant to tell me such vulgar words.’

Perhaps because these people know me when I was young, I am still quite overprotective at the age of 16.

If I did something wrong, the escort captain would scold the people for their rudeness, so I pressed my horse close to him and opened my mouth.

“Do you see where our ship is?”

The captain of the escort took his eyes off the people and looked away.

“There it is.”

The captain of the escort points to one of several ships.

It was a boat with a huge statue of a goddess attached to the front.

A sailor on top of the mast must have spotted us.
