The Resetting Lady

[203]

Lord Raymond Sayertes.

Raymond reached out to Duran. Then I held his hand and made eye contact. The vivid green eyes were like people in a different world than Duran. Indeed it was.

Karen’s lover. A close associate of Prince Louis. a war hero

His modifiers had nothing to do with Dulan.

“Thank you very much for doing me a favor.”

Raymond’s hand seemed to have a little bit of strength, but it wasn’t enough to hurt.

“…long time…as a relative, as a friend… It’s obvious. To bless a marriage… The greatest joy of a priest, oh, no.”

Raymond asked Duran to officiate.

After wrapping up the big event, he also said that he wanted to post it at a small temple in the capital city on the day of the coronation. At the coronation ceremony in Daeseongjeon, all people with some status inside and outside the country had to attend.

Raymond and Karen purposely set the date because they wanted to avoid the attention of the public. But even if they wanted to get married alone, they needed at least one. He is a believer who will be a notary of marriage.

There was no priest to officiate at the wedding that day, as all priests of the higher rank attended the coronation of the capital.

“I want Father Duran to take over. I’m sorry to ask you to do this, because Karen is involved in a dangerous situation.”

“Okay, don’t forget.”

“Thank you.”

Raymond said again and again.

He didn’t have to apologize to Duran.

How can Duran miss this opportunity? Duran rather wanted to thank Raymond.

***

The coronation day has come.

It was a sunny and cool day. People have been busy since morning. The whole capital was preparing for the festival. Although it was a sudden festival, people were more excited and prepared for it.

A new king. For a long time, there was only one king, so the feelings people felt were completely different. It was not an annual religious festival for God, but a festival for one living person.

Flowers were flying frantically in the streets and ribbons and flowers were hanging from house to house. Since the royal family supported a large part of the festival, people were enthusiastically happy to hold the coronation ceremony and enjoyed the festival.

The food began to be constantly baked, boiled, fried, and on the table, and countless nobles also showed off their loyalty to the royal family by taking advantage of this opportunity to spend their own money to enrich the festival.

It was a big festival that I don’t know when I will come back. Gold coins ran frantically through the streets.

Music was constantly flowing out of the streets, and talented people also flocked to catch the eye. People shouted enthusiastically at the festival supported by kings and nobles.

“Louis! Lewis! Lewis!”

Prince Louis went out of the procession and raised his hand in front of people. He received the crown and hall the king had handed over in advance from the archbishop at the cathedral, and had to celebrate and speak again in public. There are numerous decorations on the shoulders and chest to add dignity to the still small body.

Karen looked away at the sight of people rejoicing.

I should have prepared myself soon, but I didn’t get any energy.

A hundred years for yourself, thousands for Raymond. The result that had never been successful was under that hill. Prince Louis became king for the first time, and even though the whole country celebrated a tumultuous day with joy, he could not share the joy purely with others.

“Can I come to see you later?”

“Of course, Karen.”

Karen was getting ready to change into a white dress and a veil. They have to have a wedding while others hold a festival. He also agreed, but he couldn’t help feeling sorry. Karen swept the dress next to her with her fingertips.

“It didn’t matter if I just wore what you had prepared.”

“…but I like it better because it’s not the clothes.”

“Really? Well, that was a little tacky.”

Karen grinned and touched the dresses and fashions that Isella had matched. Isela did not say anything to Karen that she would marry in the clothes that Gwiz gave her. However, I sent clothes makers to get a new dress. It was natural to swear with your eyes at Raymond who somehow encountered him.

The women Icella sent skillfully dismantled the clothes that Gwiz had given them, and they added all the brilliant and detailed lace they had brought to create a new suit that fit Karen’s body.

Even if I didn’t really need to do that, I couldn’t help it when I threatened to say that I don’t like her more. Raymond asked, looking at the dress, which was recreated beyond recognition, with a curious eye.

“Did you take out the corset?”

“Yes. I’m sorry to hear that you’re pregnant, but you finally took it out.”

Even if you’re pregnant, your earring made you wear a corset. Karen laughed.

By now, where in prison is he grinding his teeth and stamping his feet? It was a pity not to see it. I’ll definitely do a background check later. I wanted to see how the face would look and throw gold coins for the price of sightseeing. There were so many things I really wanted to do.

“Dulan will officiate, exchange rings, and have him drink a toast.”

“He does come after all. I was afraid I’d say no.”

“Haha.”

Raymond laughed aloud at Karen’s words. Laughter was a mixture of ridicule.

“You can’t be like that.”

“Is that so, Raymond. Now you seem to know Duran better than I do.”

“Sadly so.”

knock, knock

Someone knocked outside the door and opened it. And he frowned at Raymond, who was still with him. Though too imposing for a maid, she did not hide her dissatisfaction with Raymond.

“Sir Raymond, please get out of here.”

“I think it’s time for me to get over with you.”

When they were together, Raymond took care of Karen’s clothes, so he knew how to change to some extent. But Donna refused, even shaking her head.

“What does the groom do to help? And you’re not supposed to see the bride before the wedding! I’m losing my luck!”

Donna came up to support the lord to attend Karen’s wedding. Since she is the only real maid, Donna remained next to Karen, saying she would help with the words “The lord asked me!” on her back.

Donna didn’t seem to like Young Raymond. From the date of the wedding, too few guests. Even when I let the corset out, I looked at Raymond with a look of hatred. Karen barely held back her laughter when she saw Raymond being kicked out.

“Thank you for your help.”

“No, miss…No matter how, in such a hurry.I’m not good enough, but I’ll do my best.”

Donna murmured with a sad face.

No matter how few people I tried to call, I couldn’t help but call my father. I didn’t want to invite a possible father. My father came, Donna came, and Isela sent me a present.

The father, who had to run away from Gwiz for a while, told Donna that he would attend even if there was a change in his mind and his health was not good.

I can’t break up easily.

Raymond saved Lewis and Xenon took the lord out of Gwiz’s hand. Zion became Isela’s lover and more than Raymond’s glory. I decided to have a relationship with more people in their own world.

I knew I would die calmly as usual, but after I confirmed with my eyes that I had influenced countless people, I couldn’t say the sadness of leaving all this behind.

So I had to end it now.

***

Duran stood at the officiating table of a small temple and cleared his throat.

Raymond came in first and stood under Duran.

Only Xenon was sitting in the hall. Raymond’s brother said he was not feeling well and continued to recuperate. Even a small temple could not hide the empty feeling because it was a place where about a hundred people could sit.

But the bride and groom didn’t care about it at all. At first, Karen even tried to stop Young-ju from coming.

“Are you all right?”

“Yes.”

The groom is worried about officiating. Duran was a bit funny. Of course, he was fine.

with a rattle.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

It was Isela who opened the door. Isela took her breath away, looked at the empty guest seat, and sat in the corner, kicking her tongue. Zion couldn’t come because he had to be awarded a medal, but in the end Isela was forced to.

“The lady is coming in.”

said Donna.

It was a small wedding with no music, no fancy decorations, but that was enough.

Even Duran thought it wasn’t, but the moment he saw Karen coming in, he realized it was really enough.

Karen came in holding the lord’s hand.

Every step did not seem to move.

A white veil hung over his head.

The dress, which I thought was like a pile of paper, was dexterously mended and felt difficult to describe. However, it was not just a flashy thing, but a Bible itself, not just a human being. It even felt as if the Bible was wearing a human figure.

Pair, mate, mate.

There were very few clapping people, but I didn’t feel like I was lacking at all. No matter how many people around him, it didn’t matter at all. Even if there is no lord who comes in holding Karen’s hand, no one will feel inadequate.

Karen Haier had a perfect, intact, overflowing presence in itself. Someone’s bride, someone’s daughter. It was the sanctity of existence itself that didn’t even need such modifiers.

Not slow, not fast, Karen walked toward Duran.

My eyes met.

Duran’s heart seemed to stop for a moment.

Karen was looking at Duran, not Raymond. He was walking towards him. Straight, without hesitation. The steps themselves are suffocating.

Even at the moment Karen left the lord and held Raymond’s hand, Duran had no idea. Eventually, the purple snow fell slightly before Duran could open his mouth.

“God’s glory and blessing… May you be with me.”

It will end well. His role was here from the beginning.

When I realized it, all my thoughts and principles disappeared and I felt extremely relaxed.

“From today to eternity.”

What you have to say.

And the blessing you have to give.

As in the beginning, now and forever.

And it was then.

“Cough.”

At first, no one knew what had happened. Even Dulan, who was right in front of him, could not know. It was time for Karen to share the holy water of blessing. Isela thought she had made a mistake when she saw her cough, so she laughed a little. However, the laughter soon stopped.

“Carran!”

Blood was dripping from Karen’s mouth.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“Lady!”

Clearly, the temple was filled with screams, even though there were few people. Like a thud, the lord of Haier jumped up, but he fell down without being able to reach him.

“Cough, cough….”

“…Hire?”

Duran asked back in a daze of embarrassment.

Then he looked at Sung-soo again. What is this? This can’t be happening. That’s not what Duran fed Karen. What happened? Duran looked down at the holy water, but nothing changed. It’s just transparent….

“In the cup.”

Duran grabbed Karen by the neck. You have to make me vomit. This was not the way he wanted it to be. This is….

“Dulan the Priest.”

“Lay, Lord Raymond.”

Duran looked back. Raymond, the groom, held Dulan’s hand with a face that was neither embarrassed nor sad. Why?

Duran soon knew why, but he could not resist. Raymond’s grip was beyond imagination. Raymond took out what was inside Karen’s bouquet and held it to Dulan.

“You have to do it right.”

Raymond held Dulan’s hand and gave further strength to the knife that dug into Karen’s insides. Dulan’s fingertips felt something prickly. He knew what it was. It’s the heart.

“…Oh, my God…”

I heard a scream in the distance. It was a scream of its own.
