The Villain Changed the Ending

035 Let’s go sick

****[Marquis Petri]****

Of course, bringing Catherine to the mansion in the royal capital was to meet the duke.

While the Duke of Weiss is staying in the capital, he has an appointment to visit here.

Yes, here comes the Duke of Weiss.

It never goes from this side.

‘however.’

Veins bulged on Marquis Petri’s forehead.

“Catherine! I would have said no.”

Whoa, whoa, take a deep breath.

don’t get excited

“It’s rude for a woman to visit a man’s house without an invitation. Just wait patiently.”

If you get too excited, your head spins.

It has happened many times, so you have to be really careful.

If you do it wrong, you’ll get so excited you’ll die.

“Catherine, never.”

“…”

Katrin was no longer so blindly and openly rebellious as she had been when she was a child.

The stubborn daughter bowed her head slightly, graceful and pretty like a lady.

Then, in a very loving gesture, she turned around and left the room slowly.

She is like a gentle, chaste and lovely lady.

I didn’t answer until the end.

“ah.”

As soon as Catherine left the room, Marquis Petrie remembered that her daughter showed no sign of knowing.

Catherine just said goodbye to her father and left.

He didn’t give a single indication that he knew what he was saying or that he would not go looking for the duke’s family.

Marquis Petri put her hand on her forehead.

When I face that child, I feel confused and become an idiot.

fool.

Damn it, damn it.

that daughter.

Ever since my daughter saw Duke Weiss when she was young, she always thinks of him.

I don’t care about my family’s concerns, worries, or troubles.

He has no idea how much his father, mother, nanny, and tutors suffer and worry because of him.

I don’t even think about it.

‘Because that child only has a peacock on his head.’

Thinking only of dukes, yes, that’s fine as it is.

It’s a woman’s virtue to work hard for her future husband, and at first she was afraid that she might be averse to Catherine’s eccentricity, but the duke somehow accepts her well, so that’s okay.

But maybe the direction of that effort is a little strange.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be docile and normal like other noble antelopes?

It’s a shame that the Duke of Weiss accepted it, but if Catherine’s actions were collected for a month, her fiancé would have hated it and ran away.

It must have been broken up a long time ago.

“Whoa… Whoa…”

Marquis Petrie let out a long breath.

No, the anger rose to the top of my head.

The desire to use a cane arises twelve times a day, but he is no longer old enough to use a cane, and above all, the duke hates punishing Katrin’s body.

After the duke met Catherine for the first time, the other side secretly sent a doctor telling Catherine not to use the cane.

I said it around, but it means that I hate it very much if I say that to other families.

‘If you think about it, isn’t it the Duke’s fault that Catherine grew up to be a child like that?’

It might have been different if I had corrected it when I was young, even if it was beaten.

But isn’t it because the duke forbids him from punishing him, gives him a pony to ride as a gift, takes him to the village saying that he begs him every time he meets him, and accepts with a smile even when he proposes to marry him every year?

Yeah, when I think about it, it seems like that.

It’s all the work’s fault.

What will happen if you break up now?

No matter how much compensation you receive from the duke, it’s not enough.

That child will never marry another family.

It would be difficult to find a second wife in her forties, let alone a proper husband.

There is definitely no one who knows and accepts that character.

‘If this is the case, wouldn’t it be better to marry her as soon as she makes her social debut and send her to the duke’s family?’

That way, you won’t get divorced easily, and even if you do get divorced, it will be better than dying of old age while being single.

When Marquis Petrie was swaying in the storm of such thoughts for a while, he heard the voice of his wife, who was quietly holding her breath on one side.

“I’m sorry. That child grew up like that…”

When I turned my gaze, my wife was bowing her head with a face full of tears.

The originally docile wife became more withdrawn and quiet as Catherine grew up.

I have a daughter, but that’s why I can’t lift my face in front of him.

Marquis Petrie took a long breath to calm his chest.

“It’s not your fault. That kid ended up like that.”

Tried to say it was the Duke’s fault, but Marquis Petrie closed her mouth and breathed again.

i can’t say that

“That child became like that because he was born that way. He wasn’t like that since childhood.”

“…”

“Haa… It’s okay. Even if you look at it like that, you’re learning the culture properly, and your face as a woman… Yes, you can use pretense to the extent of protecting that level. I know that you and the teachers have really worked hard to get to that level. “I don’t blame you.”

“… But… I’m sorry.”

Saying that, his wife let out a small sigh.

Marquis Petrie exhaled as if to match it.

“It’s okay, ma’am. Even though he’s such a stubborn and weird personality, he’s still pre-debut and no one knows. We’ll just have to see him once when he’s debut and then let him stay at home as much as possible.”

Debuting at the palace banquet is indispensable.

An aristocratic woman, if she does not make her first appearance in the social world, is not considered a proper adult even when she is twenty or thirty.

“…”

“Let’s go sick. She’s the daughter of a sickly marquis, so we have to spread rumors and get her out of the marquis’ territory.”

“…”

“Let’s drag it on for two or three years and send it to the duchy.”

“I think it’s a good idea. The duke still takes good care of that child.”

“Yes, that’s right. That’s what I think, too. He’ll be fine in front of the duke, too.”

At Marquis Petri’s words, the wife thought over the words quietly and breathed lightly.

Really, if the story of breaking up the marriage comes up now, then it’s really a judge and you die and I die.

“Let’s wait a few years, ma’am.”

At Marquis Petri’s words, his wife nodded with a face that looked like she was going to cry.

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

The first gift I received at the age of three was a doll.

Several colorful and pretty dresses were packed together.

A gift for a four-year-old is a pretty doll house that the doll can fit in.

The large dollhouse, which was far beyond Katrin’s height, had a small bed, wardrobe, drawing room, and even a sparkling chandelier.

Even now, the doll’s house decorates one side of Catherine’s room.

When I was five years old, I was given a pony.

She was a female who looked a lot like Oscar-sama, and was a calm and cute child.

I really liked that.

I fell in love the moment I saw it.

From that day on, I slept in the stable where the child was.

The marquess has a great number of horses, and they are all managed in a building as large as the main building.

Because it was a gift from Oscar, the pony was assigned the best and most spacious room.

But when I was young, I didn’t know that, and I used to sleep in a large room, but the pony slept with me crying, saying that it was pitiful for living in a small space.

“Oh-ho-ho-ho!”

Catherine put the back of her hand to her mouth and laughed.

I still smile when I think of that time.

Her mother screamed and her father yelled, but the pony was so dear to her that it was Oscar’s gift, and Catherine did not budge from her parents’ scolding.

When they told the story of meeting Oscar that year and sleeping together in the stable, mother and father turned white as if they had died.

But Oscar laughed happily and said he was glad they got along.

Then I fell in love again.

Even though I was still too young at the time, I decided that his smile was mine for the rest of my life.

Even after that, everything Oscar gives is Catherine’s treasure.

When I thought of Oscar, my heart skipped a beat.

“Oh ho ho ho!”

I was so happy that I laughed without knowing it, and Anne, the maid, looked at her with a strange expression.

“miss.”

“…”

“Everything else is graceful and you can act okay, so why is it just laughter?”

“…”

Katrin was blocked from answering for a moment.

I don’t even know myself.

If you just laugh sincerely, that kind of laughter comes out.

“Strange?”

Catherine asked, and Anne furrowed her brows a little, thought for a moment, then nodded as if she couldn’t help it.

“Yes, lady. It’s like… a villain.”

Villain!

“That’s too much, isn’t it?”

As Catherine grumbled, Anne let out a long sigh.

He says softly as he puts on Katrin’s clothes and hat.

“But so are the actions.”

“…”

“If the Marquis and his wife find out about this, there will be an uproar. You might get fired because of the lady.

Catherine slapped the palm of her hand with the folding fan she was holding.

“Again! Again! Eomsal! Even though I’ve said that many times until now, she’s still acting as my maid.”

“That’s because the other ladies-in-waiting can’t possibly follow the lady’s behavior. It’s because I’m the only one who can handle it.”

“So you don’t have to worry?”

“… I see… But it might be different this time, lady. It’s a bit much to go to the duke’s house without contacting him.”

Anne let out a long sigh.

“It can’t be helped. If things go on like this, I won’t be Oscar-sama’s partner this year.”

“You can debut next year anyway, young lady.”

“Then it’s too late!”

Catherine spoke sharply and squeezed the fan.

“Since Oscar became an adult last year, the number of women has increased dramatically. It’s not just unmarried women. According to my aunt, the Viscountess, who is reputed to be the most beautiful among widows, has also joined.”

“I heard about that too.”

Anne nodded.

She is also poor, but she is from an aristocratic family.

You’ll be hearing rumors from all over the place.

But I don’t know this yet.

Catherine lowered her voice a little.

“The number of women secretly seeking aphrodisiac has also increased. My aunt said that many of them are targeting young Oscar-sama. If you are less experienced, you can drop it.”

“Oh, oh! Women are scary.”

“Anne, what nonsense are you talking about? Anyway, there is a pharmacist who sells quality aphrodisiac. My aunt said she would introduce me later, so if Anne is interested, would you like to go with me?”

“Yes. Please!”

Anne replied with her eyes shining.

Unlike other maids, she is honest about her desires.

Being the daughter of a nanny, she almost grew up with her, so the fact that she didn’t have to hide her personality must have been great.

“Okay, let’s go together if your aunt calls. Anyway, now you understand? It’s dangerous to let Oscar go out alone to a party. If you do it wrong, you’ll end up being taken away by a horse-boned girl from nowhere.”

“Okay, young lady. A marquise’s lady loses her face only if she’s taken away by a horse bone.”

“That’s right. I don’t know anything else, but you dare to go after Oscar-sama! Fufufufufufufu. I’ll make you regret making fun of Catherine.”

Anne quickly finished Catherine’s attire and took a step back. I confirm Katrin’s look and nod my head.

“It’s pretty. Really, I decorated it, but it looks like an angel.”

“Isn’t that right? Oh ho ho ho! There’s no woman as lovely and beautiful as me. As long as I leave, more than half of the women will lose their will to fight and fall out. One by one, I’ll break the will of the rest and crush them. Oh ho ho ho!”

“Miss, really stop laughing. It’s like a real villain.”

“I’ll be careful in front of Oscar.”

“It’s a must.”

After saying that, Anne took a quick look outside.

Catherine’s room is at the innermost part of the main building, so few people pass by.

“anybody there.”

“Okay. Then take care of me.”

“Okay. I’ll let you know when the lady gets on the rose.”

“okay.”

Rose is the name of a pony given to her by Oscar.

The child was still with Catherine, the same appearance as when they first met.

As Catherine pulled the cloak over her head and went out into the hallway, Anne spoke again.

“Don’t forget to delay the time until the escort follows. When you leave the mansion, you must make sure that the escort follows you.”

“Of course. Marquis family Yeongyang would never do such a dangerous thing to go outside without an escort.”

Catherine steps into the hallway when she hears Anne’s voice behind her.

“The noble antelope doesn’t ride a pony. He rides a carriage.”

Heh, I can’t help it.

The butler will tell you to get permission from your father and mother to ride in the carriage.

When Katrin went out through the small doorway, Rose was waiting patiently.
