The Villain Changed the Ending

Chapter 153

153 Auntie’s Special Move

***[Dennis, son of Bianca]***

I remember my father and mother going out of the mansion together when I was little.

My mother was smiling at my father, adorned with beautiful clothes and jewels.

The twinkling look of her mother was beautiful even in her young mind.

He dreamed that one day he would go to a banquet looking as good as his mother and father.

It is a story of a time when I was young and did not know the world yet.

As a child, when he didn’t even know that he was his lover’s child or what that meant, Dennis had thought that way as he clutched at his beating heart.

‘It was a dream that would never come true.’

Until now, Dennis had never been to a banquet held by an aristocrat.

The lover’s mother can participate in the banquet as the father’s companion, but he cannot.

The aristocratic society that Dennis admired did not accept his lover’s children.

It is placed at a distance where you can grab it if you stretch out your hand, but the door is firmly closed right in front of your nose.

But Oscar is different.

They are the children of the same father, but they are the same human born from the body of a woman, but Oscar was a member of the nobility simply for the reason that his mother’s family was different.

Dennis has everything he wants without a single effort.

Suddenly, I remembered something from when I was young.

‘Every time he saw me, he was envious.’

Laughter came out.

Oscar seems to want his father’s love, but love is not a big deal.

You know when you see your mother.

Even if he holds on to his father’s love, he is ridiculed in aristocratic society and has no real power.

In the end, he gets kicked out of this corner of the country and lives a miserable life.

The only thing left for him and his mother was his father’s love.

There is only one.

“…”

Dennis left the dinner hall and stood in an empty hallway.

His shoulders shook wildly.

My chest is stuffy.

The anger was so intense that I couldn’t stand it.

Kung, I hit the pillar with my fist, but only my hand hurt.

My heart was still full of pain and anger.

‘I only have a father’s love.’

But now it seems that even that has been taken away.

I knew that today from the way my father looked at Oscar.

After Oscar is born, he continues to be taken away.

I hate you.

I want to see that arrogant face twist.

‘At any cost, that bastard’s face…’

I couldn’t lay my hands on the Duchess directly.

There are always people around her, so there will be no chance.

‘But if it’s a maid.’

I won’t even pay attention to the lady-in-waiting, so there should be a gap.

It seems that she is the closest lady-in-waiting, and the scandal of the close lady-in-waiting leads to the loss of the Duchess’ reputation.

Of course, Oscar will also be hit.

Dennis pursed his lips and looked up.

***[Anne, Lady Catherine]***

“It was amazing! I thought she was a real duchess.”

“What are you talking about, Anne. Of course she’s the Duchess.”

“No, but up until now you’ve never been like a wife.”

“…”

It seems that Catherine was also aware.

Anne made sure only familiar people were around and held her hand tightly.

“You did a great job, young lady. After all, poison is defeated with poison.”

“Isn’t it? My aunt’s words were unmistakable. The most painful thing for a woman is when her man has a lover. Huhuhuhuhu. Did you see her face?”

“Sure. I watched every single one. Wow, it was scary.”

“…”

It seems that the answer did not suit the lady’s heart.

well, of course i know

Because the lady was hoping for a compliment.

When I say I saw her, I’m not asking if I really saw her.

It means that you saw how you drove your opponent.

Normally, Catherine would have said whatever she wanted, hmm, but her face was truly amazing.

It can’t be helped that the woman’s face comes out first.

Anne suddenly tilted her head.

“But… didn’t the lady dislike Bernt-sama? You were angry at the duke for bothering him.”

“That’s it.”

Katrin let out a small sigh.

“You look a lot like Oscar.”

“Eh… hair? All dukes have silver hair.”

“They look alike. Didn’t Anne see her father?”

“…”

Hmm, I thought they looked a bit alike, but unlike the godfather, did Bernt-sama, eh, look alike? When you think about it that way, it seems that they are similar again.

Come to think of it, even the title is father before you know it.

Until I came to this mansion, I only called him Bernd.

Anne looked at Catherine with stupid eyes.

“The lady really likes the duke. Seeing that he’s so playful even if he resembles him just a little bit. Just looking at a dog with silver fur, I think he’ll say he resembles him.”

“No! I’m not talking about the hair, Anne. They really do look alike. They’re the same.”

“It wasn’t quite like that.”

While chatting like that, I suddenly remembered the face of my lover’s son.

“Come to think of it, that man is called Dennis. He doesn’t look alike at all. His hair is different. I thought all dukes had silver hair.”

“me too.”

As if thinking of Catherine, she turned her head.

“But Pooh isn’t coming. I thought he’d come by now. He said he’d let me know when he got here, but he hasn’t.”

“They must be playing in the pond. They must be eating fish by now, right?”

“No way! Pooh doesn’t eat those things.”

“Hey, lady, witch beasts are carnivorous. Pooh eats grass and flowers, but he also eats meat.”

“But the one in that pond.”

“That’s right. I’m raising them on purpose.”

“…”

It seems he is starting to worry.

Katrin’s face changed a little.

Ornamental fish are very expensive.

If it is grown in the pond of the duke’s villa, it must be very, very, very expensive.

ha.

Anne let out a small sigh and shrugged her shoulders.

“I’ll go and see.”

“but.”

“A servant or a soldier can go, but Pooh won’t listen. If it’s necessary, I’ll sacrifice my hat.”

The power to pour is a business.

I can bring that guy with me, no, I can’t bring him even if I don’t have to.

But if it’s Anne herself, she knows how to deal with Pooh to some extent, so it’ll be fine.

“…”

no, i’m not going to be okay

‘At least I like my hat, that kid.’

Anne let out a small sigh.

There are several outdoor hats in the wagon.

If you sacrifice that, you’ll be able to lure it anyway.

“First, let’s go to the bathroom.”

Anne whispered, and Catherine nodded.

Honestly, I’m at my limit now.

I’m in a hurry.

Katrin seemed to be the same, but her steps sped up a little.

It is accompanied by an escort to the front of the bathroom, but inside it is a forbidden space.

The other escorts waited outside the door, and only two female escorts, who always act together, went inside.

I wondered if it was necessary to follow her into the bathroom, but the young lady was no longer a mere marquis, but a duchess.

Being a duchess is a very high position, so maybe it can’t be helped.

Besides, perhaps that’s what escorts are supposed to be, the female escorts of the duke’s family were gentle, but they rarely made friends for small talk.

It’s almost like air.

Even when they were together, they had no presence to the point of not knowing whether they were people or statues, and before they knew it, Anne and Catherine were acting as usual without masks in front of the female escort.

‘Maybe they do it on purpose.’

I think so, but I’m tired anyway.

After a long wagon trip, I came without a break.

It’s really hard.

Being a maid is not easy either.

As soon as she did her business, Katrin threw herself on the sofa.

He droops and becomes half-lying.

Anne also sat down next to them.

Sitting like this reminds me of my childhood.

As a child, when Katrin had a complaint about something, she would often run to the bathroom, and the two of them would sit side by side like this.

Outside the door was the lady’s nanny, well, that was her mother, but she begged her to open the door, but Catherine wouldn’t budge.

Anne, for some reason, had to sit in the bathroom as well.

It’s called a bathroom, but it’s just a room.

Would it be different if several soft sofas were placed differently from other rooms?

No, there’s another one.

The bathroom room usually had an expensive mirror and several women’s makeup tools, and there were several small spaces with curtains hanging down the wall.

When the curtain is opened, another ornately decorated space appears.

There was a chair with a hole in the bottom and a commode for errands.

It was the same here.

Anyway, the bathroom in the noble mansion was just a room with that space added, and it was so clean and comfortable that even with two girls there was no problem.

At first, they protested because they were angry, but soon they forgot all about it, and the two of them used to play hide-and-seek and have fun.

“Do you remember, miss?”

Anne asked, looking through the curtains, and Catherine laughed.

“Ahahahaha, I remember. Anne fell asleep hiding in the curtains and hit her head on the toilet seat.”

“What are you talking about? That was a lady.”

“Sounds silly. It was Anne.”

After repeating such small quarrels for a while, Anne suddenly took a deep breath.

“It’s kind of stretched.”

“The scent is good. When we go back to our home, let’s try putting this scent in the bathroom.”

“Ah, come to think of it, the godfather said that too. Gradually practice decorating your house in the style of a lady.”

“Come to think of it, it was.”

“That’s great. Get ideas from places like this.”

“I know.”

It stretched like that for a while, but it can’t stay like this forever.

Anne forced her heavy body to rise.

“My lady, get up now. We have to go back soon.”

Saying that, I turned my head, and Katrin had been asleep for that brief moment.

“…”

what to do

Once a girl falls asleep, she doesn’t wake up.

He fell asleep so deeply that no one would know who was carrying him.

“In the bathroom, of course.”

As I muttered that, the female escorts came closer.

Both of them are laughing silently.

Haa, there are so many people laughing because of the lady, so I’m not ashamed of it anymore.

“We’ll take it.”

“We’ll tell the duke too. He’ll probably tell you not to wake him up.”

If you look at the Duke’s usual behavior, it must be so.

But to fall asleep during a dinner like this, really.

Anne sighed lightly and bowed her head.

“Please. I’ll check on Ppouu for a while.”

“be careful.”

“yes.”

When you go outside, there are butlers and soldiers who used to work with the Duke.

You can ask them to accompany you.

Thinking so, I left the bathroom and walked a little, but a hand came out of the black darkness.

In the darkness, only the hand was visible, as if a severed wrist was floating in the air.

scared.

As she opened her mouth in surprise, her hand came to her mouth.

I was so shocked that I couldn’t even scream.

In that short time, the face of my fiancé passed before my eyes.

If there are strange rumors, the marriage goes through the water.

Catherine’s face also came to mind.

If there was a scandal with the Duchess’ maid, of course I wouldn’t be around the lady.

Also separated from Katrin.

Countess Becker’s words echoed in my head.

[No matter where you are, you should never be alone unless you are at home, Anne. You have to be careful.]

Why did I forget those words even for a moment?

The Countess asked me so many times, but why did I forget?

It was the moment when I thought that something really happened.

Another hand appeared out of the darkness.

“How many hands do you have!”

The moment he shouted without realizing it, the hand that appeared first swayed in the air and someone fell flat on the floor.

Instead, the face of the housekeeper who had left to accompany the duke appeared.

Because he was wearing black, only his face seemed to float in the air.

“Uh, uh…”

The moment I was about to scream, the butler said.

“Be quiet. It’s not good when people’s eyes gather.”

“…”

swallow your voice

Yes, you should be quiet. It’s embarrassing to see someone like this.

The butler glanced at the floor and spoke in a low voice.

“It’s Dennis.”

“…”

Dennis? The duke’s lover’s son?

Let’s stick our heads out and look, it’s really him.

No, why is that person?

I tilted my head, but the butler quietly continued.

“A woman should never be alone. Even the smallest things can damage your reputation.”

oh, this is bullsh*t It’s going to get scolded.

Anne’s head lowered on its own.

“I’m sorry.”

“You are a young lady entrusted to the ducal family. We have a duty to protect you. But you must be very careful as well.”

“Yes, sorry.”

“From now on, please let the attendant guide you in whatever you do.”

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

I knew.

It was something the Countess had requested many times.

It would have been a real big deal if the butler hadn’t accidentally helped him this time.

His own situation was also a problem, but he almost harmed the duke’s family.

But what the hell was this deacon doing here?

Suddenly, I thought it was strange.

The butler said as if he understood the question.

“There are always people’s eyes on you, too. Especially when you go to a strange mansion like this, you never leave it alone.”

“ah….”

Then it means that the butler was watching for him on purpose.

Anne bowed her head deeply.

“thank you.”

I could feel the butler’s smile from the top of my head.

“It’s fortunate that nothing special happened. Pooh has already left the pond and is outside, so don’t worry. Shall we go inside then?”

“yes.”

As Anne said, she suddenly saw a man lying on the floor.

Dennis is confused about what the butler did.

“Hey… can I ask you a favor? If you don’t mind, there…”

At Anne’s words, the butler’s eyes widened.

But then he smiled and moved away a bit.

Anne stood in front of the fainting Dennis.

The shoes she is wearing are for indoor use with leather soles.

Normally, they wear high heels, but this time they wore heelless leather shoes to match Catherine’s height.

Catherine was quite short, so Anne took care of it in her own way.

Anne took a deep breath and recalled the Countess’s words.

[If you feel like you’re about to get hit by a man, do it without mercy. Then, the opponent will be incapacitated for a while, so you can call someone in that gap.]

For that reason, he always carries an iron fan at banquets and dinners.

It was the same with Catherine and Anne.

But when you’re fainting like this, you won’t even need a debt.

‘good! It’s the Countess’s deadly move!’

Anne held her skirt with both hands and raised her legs.

As I slammed my foot between Dennis’s legs, Dennis let out a strange scream like a frog bursting.

There is no sound, but it feels like tearing through the air.

The soles of my feet feel kind of lumpy, and I feel bad.

It was a very strange feeling.

‘But… even in a faint state, he screams.’

With that thought in mind, Anne turned around.

“Thank you. I feel relieved.”
