The Villain Changed the Ending

022 regret

*****[René, Novel Heroine]*****

“oh!”

Renee fell forward unsightly and fell face down on the floor.

But she is a thin five-year-old girl.

I was hit hard by an adult man, so I couldn’t stop just hitting my face on the floor.

body pushed forward.

It looks like the skin peeled off as the chin and palms leaned against the floor.

The heat felt more like burning than painful.

I don’t know if it’s broken too.

My whole face was tingling.

Renee bumped into someone’s leg and was barely able to stop.

“what!”

A rough male voice echoed overhead.

Almost at the same time, Renee’s small body was kicked and rolled backwards.

“Ah, f*ck you, what a dirty girl you are. The new clothes you wore today have blood on them! I got a new one to consult with an important guest, what are you going to do!”

“It’s not my fault. I was just pushed…”

However, the figure of the person who pushed Renee was no longer visible.

It seems that they have already fled into the crowd.

“Ha! The little one is already deferring the responsibility to someone else! Even if you were pushed back, you must be the one who stained me with blood! You filthy girl! You’re supposed to be squatting in the slums. Why are you even here?”

The man got angry and kicked Renee again.

sick.

Maybe it’s a broken bone.

Renee clung to the leg of the man who was about to swing her foot again.

“That, stop! I told you it wasn’t my fault. Stop it!”

Renee screamed and shouted, but no one around to help.

Among the buzzing people, the name of a company that Renee had heard of rang out.

Was it the owner or the manager of that firm?

Come to think of it, the men’s attire was exceptionally luxurious.

“Can’t you let go! You dirty ghetto kid!”

A man screams and shakes his feet.

The footsteps of the soldiers passed nearby, and the sound of the nobleman’s wagon slowly rolling could be heard from behind.

‘Me too, I’m a person who will be in such a high position ten years from now…’

The man pushed harder, and blood flowed from the cuts on his face.

When I fall, my wrist hurts as if something went wrong.

‘How did this happen?’

Water overflowed from the eyes.

Tears turn into sludge and run down your cheeks.

“Dirty b*tch! Let go! Let go!”

The man screamed and grabbed her hair.

It hurts as if my hair would be pulled out.

However, if I was kicked again like this, I would really break my bones.

In this world, injury is directly linked to death.

Renee shed tears as she clung to the man’s leg like a clinger.

“Huh… Heh…”

Would it have been better if I hadn’t cheated on you?

My husband was an extremely sincere man.

If only he had chosen him, would he still be able to write a novel and laugh in a warm room?

Or, if I had rejected Kyung-Wan’s temptation just that night, if that person’s wife hadn’t come to my house, if there hadn’t been a knife in the kitchen, would I have been able to still be alive in that world?

When I remembered the events of that day, I felt terrible again.

When the husband head-butted Gyeong-wan and eventually collapsed, Gyeong-wan’s wife came into the house.

She must have known the password to my house.

When she saw Kyungwan lying around the room, she started to run wild.

She cursed and got angry, and eventually came from the kitchen with a knife and stabbed her.

Seeing as I don’t remember anything after that, I think he probably died then.

‘It’s unfortunate.’

The property left by her husband included a pension.

In case he died, the husband prepared several safety devices.

If she lived sparingly, a woman alone would have been able to live well enough.

My husband was a really nice person.

Affectionate and affectionate… a really nice guy.

“Huh… uh…”

But the human heart is not what it wants.

In the end, Renee couldn’t love her husband, whom she had never loved from the beginning.

I know that my husband loved me a lot.

I also knew that I had to repay that love.

Whoever saw it, she was well aware that she was a bad b*tch and a mean woman.

I knew too much that I was bad.

Still, I couldn’t help it.

People love people, but you don’t need money or conditions.

While I often met my husband’s friend, I couldn’t stop being attracted to him.

“Get out of the way!”

In the end, the man pulled Renee’s small body over a mug and threw it to the floor.

Kwok, Renee made a strange sound like a frog bursting and fell to the floor.

“eww….”

Blood poured out of his mouth.

The mind becomes hazy.

It’s like sand got in your mouth.

Pumice pumice, something mixed with blood and chewed.

“Black…”

I wish I hadn’t cheated.

He was a boring husband because he was too diligent, but it would have been nice if he had been satisfied with his mild life.

If that was the case, I wouldn’t be in such a miserable state now.

Even though I knew the future ten years from now, the misery of the present touched my skin with a sense of urgency that made me want to give up my life.

‘I hate… I really hate this life…’

As I thought so, a carriage belonging to a nobleman passed nearby and suddenly stopped.

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

It’s nothing special to say that it’s entertainment in this era.

It’s not like there’s an amusement park, and there’s no way there’s a karaoke room or arcade.

Because of that, the procession of gorgeous nobles seems to be a spectacle of people in itself.

As I looked at the people who had flocked to watch the procession, I suddenly realized that the appearance of one place was strange.

There was a crowd of people, and a child’s scream could be heard beyond.

“Benno, find out what’s going on. I hear a child screaming.”

“I understand, master.”

The carriage stopped, and the butler went outside.

The captain of the escort came to the side of the carriage and we talked for a while.

As the soldier headed towards the gathering place, the people standing in a circle like a fence retreated like the ebb tide.

It was a bit far away, but I could see the child lying down in my eyes.

It was a girl with light brown hair that was close to blonde.

The child was lying on his stomach and crying.

After a while, a soldier who had been listening to the man and the people around him approached.

“Duke, it seems that a child living in the slums has soiled the merchant’s clothes.”

“Did you hit a child like that with something that barely soiled his clothes? Enough that he couldn’t get up?”

When I frowned, the soldier closed his mouth as if in trouble.

The butler said softly, as if soothing him.

“It’s a common occurrence among commoners. In fact, very few poor people come to watch the procession of nobles. Even if they do, they watch from the corner or the back. This time, that child’s ignorance brought about.”

“…”

After looking at the child who still couldn’t get up, I let out a small sigh.

“Benno, I don’t want a child to die watching our procession.”

“Okay. I’ll take action so that the master doesn’t worry.”

The butler ordered the coachman to move, and the carriage I rode in began to roll slowly.

Outside the window, the butler was instructing the soldier on something.

As I passed by him, I looked at the child once again.

Suddenly, the girl raised her face and looked this way.

“…”

Maybe it’s because of the feeling.

For some reason, it seemed that the gaze was different from the poor people I saw outside the city walls.

It felt like being stared at.

Maybe he hates nobles.

Even though he was still only a small child, he was somehow bothered by it.

And after a while, the butler got into the carriage again.

“How’s the kid?”

“The child’s father was nearby. He gave me some money and sent me to the temple to be treated. I also ended the conversation amicably with the merchant who claimed that the clothes were soiled.”

“…is it okay?”

I heard that treatment at the temple is not that cheap even if it is cheap.

At least not where the poor can go.

Maybe instead of treating the child, the money could be spent elsewhere.

“Don’t worry, master. I’ve told you to treat it properly. You wouldn’t dare think of violating it. The child will be fine.”

“I’m glad then.”

This is only self-satisfaction.

Just because the child is safe today doesn’t mean that tomorrow will be the same, and perhaps something worse could happen.

“ha.”

As I sighed, the butler lowered his body to meet my gaze.

“Master, there is nothing we can do about the children and the poor in other cities. But if it’s our dukedom, you’re free. Enrich the territory so that the people don’t starve or run away from oppression, and govern it fairly.”

“huh.”

“Master, you will be a better lord than your grandfather.”

“I hope so.”

“It will definitely happen. My grandfather who passed away believed that too.”

“…”

Seeing the head butler smile softly, my conscience hurt a little.

I am only struggling to live for myself, not to do something for Youngmin.

The fact that I had helped the child just now was only for my own satisfaction, which was of no help to the child itself.

I’m not a great person

It doesn’t meet this person’s expectations.

My heart tingled like it was blaming me.

‘At least… let’s try a little harder.’

While I was chewing on my lips and thinking, the butler was still looking at me.

After Benno knelt on the floor, he held my small hand with his two large hands and lightly kissed me.

“My little lord is great and exalted. Do not be anxious, for I know the future.”

“…”

Benno, that word makes me even more troubled.

The pressure weighed me down like a rock.

*****[René, Novel Heroine]*****

‘She was a beautiful child.’

Renee remembered the face of the child looking at her in the carriage.

He was a pretty child like a sculpture.

‘But I’d be more beautiful than him if I just dressed up pretty.’

Then it might have caught someone’s eye.

At least it could have been possible if he was dressed cleanly.

Perhaps he was chosen as the companion of a noble child, or he might have been in a position to be petted by a childless noble.

“…”

They are the same people, but some ride fancy wagons, wear nice clothes and eat delicious food, while others are in a difficult position to even eat a piece of rotten bread.

‘This world is really unfair.’

The anger welled up in my heart to the point where I couldn’t help it.

“I can’t catch up fast!”

The adoptive father shouts harshly.

Renee bit her lip and followed him reluctantly.

Who the high nobles of the procession were was ultimately unknown.

A great nobleman doesn’t feel the need to tell an insignificant commoner your name, and a commoner won’t know until you tell him.

However, on the orders of the person from the procession, Renée was able to receive a simple treatment at the temple.

There are doctors in this world too, but most commoners cannot hope for a doctor’s treatment.

I heard that it is difficult to go with money.

Instead, commoners can pay a small fee to the temple to receive treatment.

This is because each temple usually has a person who acts as a doctor.

Of course, they are not called doctors, but priests.

According to the temple, Renée likely suffered a broken rib.

The priest put foul-smelling herbs on his body and wrapped a bandage-like cloth around them.

He also ate medicinal herbs that relieved pain.

All of them were made by the nobleman’s subordinates for payment.

But the adoptive father is dissatisfied with that.

“Sheesh, it would have been nice if you gave me the money yourself. How much did you give to the temple? I’m dying of regret.”

The reason why her adoptive father grumbled and took her to the temple for treatment was because of the words of a subordinate of a great nobleman.

The great nobleman’s subordinate threatened to check whether the child was properly treated at the temple in a few days and whether the child’s body was okay.

If it hadn’t been for those words, the adoptive father would have paid someone else to treat him as Rene instead of taking him to the temple.

If that had happened, Renée might have died in a cold room.

In this world, just getting a cold can easily kill a person.

‘This must be because I, the main character of the novel, shouldn’t die.’

I was very slightly relieved.

At least in this world, he is a necessary being.

If she died, the whole world would collapse, or it might be in trouble.

I thought that such evidence was shown in this form.

‘If he dies, it would be nice if that author died.’

Renee glared at her adoptive father’s back.

The adoptive father, who joined the household with his mother a year ago, is the pillar of his previous life.

Without doing anything of his own, he gambled and drank with the money his mother earned from sewing.

And beating his mother and Renée is his job.

I hate that man, but I also hate the mother who shrinks for her own body even when her daughter is beaten.

It is she who works and actually feeds her family, but her mother says that it is difficult to live in this world without a man.

The fact that it’s a contradiction, even though he says it, doesn’t he know it?

While I was thinking about that, my adoptive father looked back and shouted, “Can’t you come sooner?”

Rene put her small hand on her chest and forcibly accelerated her steps.

Every time I take a step, my body hurts like being stabbed with a knife.

‘I want both my mother and that guy to disappear.’

Suddenly, the face of her former husband came to mind.

‘If that person were here…’

How nice would it have been

If he had, he would have protected me from this hellish reality.

but he is not here

Until I go to the house of my real father, the baron, I have to live alone in this world.

“…”

Tears fell drop by drop.
