Chapter 38
[38]
“Did I ever die before?”
“Yes.”
“Well… I see. What happened?”
“I think it’s because I’m so upset that Mr. Berdick took it.”
Karen fumbled in her memory. The lord did not die unconditionally. Sometimes I lived and stayed with Karen until the day before she died. But not for the most of the time. Verdick’s rightful lord was shocked and sickened, and died in agony.
“I think your business failed a little bit.”
Karen lowered her voice. Fortunately, Berdick and Raymond were concentrating on Isela, not on this side.
“…I thought I didn’t care.”
After my wife died, I thought everything was fleeting. Everything about the land, the people, and everything. Do you mean that you still have that passion? The lord became a little disturbed. Karen comforted her father by patting him on the arm.
“People are much more multilateral than they think they are. But in the next life, I’ll take a closer look at how my father dies.”
“Well, thank you.”
“Sure.”
It’s a clang.
On the other side, Isela was laughing at the countess. Her face was glowing red. When Isela is embarrassed, her movements and voice get bigger and she has an accident that is difficult to the point where it is difficult to deal with it. Karen looked fondly at her lovely rival. Berdick could not bear to see and covered his eyes with his hands.
“Berdick’s expression is funny.”
“I like her expression.”
Another woman and another woman drink while looking at their flushed faces. The lord put the glass down and got up. Karen asked.
“Where are you going?”
“I want to ask Mr. Berdick for you.”
“Ugh.”
Karen had a headache when she thought of herself as Isela’s maid. This time, there’s been a lot of this and that, so you’ll be even more nervous.
‘I should’ve killed Isela first.’
What’s the point of regretting now? However, it is a good thing that Nancy, who is close to her, has died and this is how things have been solved. Karen shrugged at the approaching Isela, vowing not to be depressed over trifles.
“Miss Isela.”
“Can… Run.”
“Sit down and drink some brandy and calm down.”
“Thank you.”
Unlike his words, he drinks alcohol with a face that looks like a murder. Karen thought she would be the culprit as soon as she saw Isella’s face if the two of them were standing at the scene of the murder.
Isela glares at Lady Elba over there. The mistakes she made were small but big. Lady Orpen, not Lady Elba, was calling her last name.
“Rolling…”
“This is Lady Elba. Not Lady Orpen. You have to call your first name, not your last name. She is Count Orpen’s wife and the daughter of Baron Rofia.”
“Where is wrong?”
“Being angry is an act of ignoring her.”
“What the hell is wrong?
“…put your voice down, Isela. Lady Elba is the daughter of Baron Lonua, but Baron Lonua was confiscated and reinstated more than a decade ago. To call her Lady Orpen, not Lady Elba, is a reminder of her disgraceful past.”
“…yeah? Why is it disgraceful again?”
That’s how it works here.
Karen wanted to cry on Isela’s stupid face. Right. You don’t have to think about anything. What’s wrong with that lady Elba being the daughter of Verdick Evans, who’s a loan shark. You don’t have to think about anything. It would have been fine if I had ignored honor, reputation, and petty manners. Berdick’s gold coins will cover all the disgrace. You don’t have to worry about every little thing. But it’s okay.
“The name after Lady comes from a commoner, not a noble father. When she debuted, she entered as Count Orpen’s mother’s maid of honor. I couldn’t even name Lady at the time. And even after she got married, she was Lady Orpen, not Lady Elba. It’s only after Baron Lonois was reinstated that he became Lady Elba, so it’s all the more important.”
“Ha….”
But Karen didn’t tell the story behind it.
Even if Isela made a mistake, well-learned wives don’t get mad at the mistakes of those who don’t. When Karen made a mistake a long time ago, she just smiled awkwardly and her contemplated girl often walked in and told her.
Even if you make the same mistake, the cost of the main character and the supporting actor is different.’
Karen laughed.
Her anger is greater to show to Berdick. Karen and Isela have completely different positions because Verdick’s wealth is tied to her. In other words, Isela is a man she doesn’t want to see from the beginning.
“Are you not Lady Karen?”
Karen has already repeated her comments dozens of times in an inertial manner. About 60 years ago, I told her several times, but she got slapped in the face when she was angry at Isela. Now, he reads out the lines given with different thoughts.
“I’m a landlord, but I haven’t received the title of nobility, so I’m just a hyerite.”
Isela’s face was blank.
“You don’t get Lady Lady’s title either?”
“Yes, even if it’s the landlord class, it should be in the Oreung. Haier was an independent country in the past, but after the occupation, it was under Count Orpen.”
So you have to show it well. under the assumption that the story continues.
“When I marry a child of a noble family, Lady Haier… To be exact, it’s the husband’s last name. It’s the same with Isella. When you get married, you don’t become Lady Isela, you become Lady Seyertes after Lord Raymond’s last name.”
“I prefer Lady Isella… Or Evans. It’s too bad.”
“Yes….”
Karen’s face flashed with laughter.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Isela’s voice is sharp.
“No, you may not know.”
“Are you laughing at me now that I’m not the daughter of a landlord like you?”
“Don’t over-interpret it, Isela. I just said it could happen.”
“You laughed!”
“You might not know, but you might laugh. I apologize if you feel that bad.”
“Ee, ee…”
“I’m sorry, Isela.”
“Are you making fun of me now?”
Yes.
Karen thought it was pretty cute to have a variety of facial expressions when she saw Isella who didn’t know what to do.
Come to think of it, why didn’t Verdick teach this? Is it the limit of the merchant class? Most of these manners are done before their debut. Minor mistakes grow into a crime of high treason for those who want to speak ill of others.
‘Then what you taught me… Mrs. Dare, not Nancy.’
If repetition is true, is it true that what comes into the book? It is difficult. Reason and madness are mixed, and truth, illusion, falsehood, and illusion are all mixed up.
The biggest problem is that since he has only enjoyed his life as a “caran” for so long, his awareness as a person outside the book, not Karen, is faint.
Is there a way to verify it?’
Karen frowned. Katherine had said, but she was not sure because she also said it was like a book. And beyond Karen, Catherine may have become delusional and forced her daughter to delusions.
“Carran!”
“Wait a minute.”
I don’t know who is pathetic because I repeatedly teach Isela 30 times.
Karen was gloomy when she remembered that she had to teach Isella about society one by one as a maid. Isela did not like learning personality itself from others. He was good at counting numbers, but in terms of these manners and interpersonal relationships, he knew as much as the bottom. I’m not interested. I’m not interested.
“Because my parents ruined my baby.”
“…yeah?”
Oh, words popped out of my mind. Karen clicked her tongue at the unknowingly mentioned word. Bite your teeth on the palm that follows.
Argh!
“Have you… dare…You’re such a…!”
My cheeks are tingling. This is a hard life. Karen rubs her cheek and sighs.
“I’m higher in class, Icela Evans.”
“You…. You…” What’s so, so good, so good?”
If it’s not class.
“…face?”
“What, what?”
Oh, I have to hold it in. But Karen was genuinely annoyed by Isella for interrupting her thoughts with trivial things.
“Isn’t it good to make a loud noise like this, Miss Isela? Are you going to disgrace your father’s face?”
“You rascal….”
“Stop it, Isela.”
Raymond took Isela by the hand.
“What did she dare to say…!”
“Icella Evans.”
Raymond’s voice sounded cold.
“Please find your reason.”
Isela’s powerful touch was so loud that most people in the hall were facing this way with astonishment and interesting faces. Karen wondered if she would praise her for having the temperament of clowns, who were seen by the public with one touch.
“It’s all right.”
It was fun.
Isela burst into tears.
“Mr. Raymond!”
Karen smiled at Isella, who didn’t care about what she said was okay.
“It’s all right, Miss Isella.”
Isela cried leaning against Raymond, not pretending to hear. But it’s sad that I can’t cry. Isela fell down crying even with a sound. Raymond gets awkwardly.
“I feel wronged, Mr. Raymond…!”
“Icella Evans, tears are not good because she has a lot of eyes.”
Raymond handed over a handkerchief. Verdick came rushing up with a contemplated face. Then he nodded his head to Raymond and Karen and grabbed her daughter’s shoulder.
“Sorry, Miss Haier, Lord Raymond.”
“It’s all right, Mr. Berdick.”
Berdick forced Isela out. Isela clung to Raymond, but Verdick was stronger. Isela rebelled and soon fell crying in her mouth keeps falling.
“…….”
“…he’s gone.”
“…I see.”
As Verdick and Isela moved away, Raymond applauded Karen.
“That’s great.”
“Take good care of your fiancee.”
Karen grumbled at Raymond.
“Her personality was made by herself. Why do you ask me to crack down on you?”
“That’s true, in fact, if Lord Raymond hadn’t missed her turn to stop Miss Isela while looking at me earlier, I wouldn’t have been slapped.”
Of course not. What do you know? Then they’ll say yes. It’s a trivial thing anyway. The important thing is that Karen was hit by Isella. Raymond doesn’t like it.
Raymond hesitated and bowed his head.
“Sorry, Miss Karen Haier.”
And Karen was annoyed that he was coming now.
“Please don’t interfere with me anymore. I’m already… hard enough.”
So don’t come any closer. I don’t really need you in this life. Looking forward to another body to find out the truth, Karen turned her back on Raymond. Raymond didn’t come after.
