The Villain Changed the Ending

044 Katrin looks just like her sister

**[Mrs. Petrie]**

“Sir, you’ve got to get rid of all those fancy decorations. Oh, wait. Leave that until summer. It’s for dinner.”

Marquis Petri gave orders to the servants and walked around the huge hall.

Not long ago, our family held an evening party.

Most of the hall was sorted out, but items from the evening were still scattered around.

Since there are many items that are difficult to handle or expensive, the hostess or butler has to check them one by one.

The Duke of Weiss, who was said to be a betrothed family, came to the evening party, and inevitably most of the people related to him also attended.

The Duke of Weiss is a royalist, and his maternal grandfather, the Marquis of Hoven, is an aristocrat.

And our Marquis Petrie is a neutralist.

Perhaps there was no other place that had as many people as my family’s evening this year.

The evening party was a great success.

This year’s success will greatly increase people’s attendance next year.

‘I’m so glad.’

In a place where many high-ranking aristocrats gather, even wealthy merchants try to make connections somehow.

Until last year, I have been in contact with large merchants who were not interested in my family.

Seeing that her husband was very happy, it must have been a very important meeting.

Maybe he was looking for an opportunity to keep in touch.

Her husband, who was always restless because of Catherine, was bright for a long time, and her heart felt a little more at ease.

But when Catherine’s face came to mind, Marquis Petrie’s heart instantly sank again.

Just then, an attendant approached with quick steps.

“Ma’am, there are several items that have been damaged.”

The attendant reported with a troubled face.

It seems that the guest at the soiree tore the expensive curtains.

For evening parties, a guest room is prepared, and things in that room are said to have been damaged everywhere besides the curtains.

The attendant remembered what kind of guest he was, but it was ambiguous to demand compensation to this extent.

If I had been a person with a conscience, I would have known and returned it to the right person before I spoke.

Marquis Petri sent the attendant away after confirming the guest’s family name and name.

‘I’ll have to quietly tell the story to the wives I know.’

It is also important to exchange this information with the wives of other families.

Thinking that the guest should be removed from the guest list at the next banquet, the Marquis Petrie moved on again.

While walking around checking the work of the servants, the butler approached with several letters.

“Madam, I have a letter for you.”

Looking at the sender of the letter placed on the silver tray, the Marquis Petrie let out a small sigh.

Countess Becker.

It came from my sister.

“Miss Catherine is also here, can I pass it on?”

“…”

Marquis Petrie nodded her head, swallowing saliva that was difficult to pass.

As for the letters her sister sent to Catherine, she herself checked them when the child was young.

Even though they are related by blood, they are the wives of different families.

In any case, the child may accidentally reveal household chores or hurt the other person’s feelings.

The letter was censored in that name, but it was no longer looked at as the boundary of Catherine’s twelve years old.

No matter how inappropriate Katrin behaved as an aristocrat, it would be too much to check her private letters with her aunt at this age.

If the letter censorship is known to the other party, it may be taken as an insult.

That’s why I stopped, but I wanted to keep checking.

Even when Catherine is twenty or thirty.

No, it would be difficult if he had children by that time, but he was anxious anyway.

Because not only Katrin, but also her older sister is a person who can’t be vigilant.

The head of the butler notices her uneasiness and asks if it is okay to deliver Catherine’s letter every time.

Each time, the Marquis had to fight desperately against the desire to see the letter.

When the head butler took Catherine’s letter, Marquis Petrie opened her own.

Every time I look at it, the pretty letters caught my eye along with the subtle scent.

“… come again.”

Murmuring inadvertently, Marquis Petrie raised her head in bewilderment.

Fortunately, no one was around, so no one heard her words.

‘My sister is coming.’

The letter said that he would arrive in the capital right before the end of this socialite season.

‘I’ll definitely meet Catherine when I come.’

I suddenly felt sick to my stomach.

After Marquis Petrie contacted her husband that she would like to visit, she took a closer look at the servants at work.

*

There were several aides in the husband’s office, but when the Marquis entered, the papers were sorted out and they all went out.

“I’m busy, but I interrupted… I’m sorry.”

“It’s all right, ma’am. So, what’s the matter?”

“I got a call from Countess Becker. She seems to be coming to the royal road at the end of the season for the socialite.”

“Ah, it looks like he’s coming back from abroad.”

My husband chuckled.

“Your sister helped me in so many ways. Without her, Catherine would be a much more untouchable colt than she is now.”

The corners of her husband’s mouth hardened a bit, probably thinking of Catherine.

“I can’t hear you or me, but Catherine seems to be able to hear Countess Becker’s words as well.”

My older sister Natalie is a person who is good at digging into people’s hearts.

He easily led the opponent’s favorite horse in the direction he wanted.

It worked well for Katrin as well, and the child held up what her aunt said as if it were a revelation from some god.

‘I’m so worried about that.’

Marquis Petrie sighed involuntarily.

I was in such a hurry at the time that I didn’t have time to think about it, but now I don’t know if asking for help from my sister was really okay.

Could there have been a slightly different way?

“It’s okay, ma’am.”

Her husband came closer and put his arms around her shoulders.

knock it out

“The socialite debut went well, and the Duke of Weiss took the boy to banquets several times, but there were no major problems. Don’t worry. When your sister comes, he won’t have to worry any more. It’ll be fine.”

Feeling very sorry for what her husband said out of concern for her, the Marquis Petrie lowered her head.

“I’m sorry… Honey… I’m really… sorry.”

“It’s not your fault.”

The husband spoke affectionately and hugged her again.

The more stubborn Catherine is, the more affectionate her husband is.

However, it is her own fault that Katrin has such a personality.

maybe.

‘How nice it would be if I could speak honestly.’

Katrin resembles her older sister Natalie.

I don’t listen to anyone, I’m stubborn, and if I don’t like what a woman should do, I reject everything.

The fortunate thing is that Catherine has a good heart.

My older sister Natalie was so tyrannical that she was eventually kicked out of the country when she was 10 years old.

It’s because my parents decided that I couldn’t leave it like this.

Instead of looking for her in-laws, she would tarnish the family’s name.

In order not to leak the shame of the family to the outside world, there was an edict about her sister’s character.

If it had stayed the same, she would probably have gone to a monastery.

But after a few years, my sister came back as a great lady.

The appearance of an untouchable idiot disappeared like a mirage, and what stood there instead was a charming and beautiful lady.

Everyone was surprised by the completely changed appearance and personality.

After entering the social world, she captivated both men and women with her outstanding beauty and eloquence, and everyone praised her.

But only the Marquis knows that she hasn’t changed at all.

It was because she personally witnessed her sister pushing her opponent’s back down the stairs.

Because the stairs were not high, the couple did not die.

While crying, he complained that it was Natalie who had pushed him and that there was only her around, but no one believed his rival.

Unlike her older sister, she had a bad reputation, and she had no women to be her allies.

‘scared.’

On that day, she clearly saw her older sister, who was outwardly embarrassed and sad because she had been framed, secretly smiling.

‘If, by any chance, Sister teaches Katrin something like that…’

The Marquis buried her face in her husband’s chest and closed her eyes.

‘no. Katrin isn’t such a bad kid. He’s just stubborn, and unlike his sister, he’s a good kid.’

You know it when you see him handle his pony.

Katrin does not hit or bully animals.

A child who knows how to love animals.

She got along well with Anne, the lady-in-waiting, and the other servants were also reluctant to deal with them, but on the other hand, she was smiling, saying that she was a helpless lady.

‘Yeah, that’s fine. Because Catherine is a good child by nature.’

I’m worried that I’m too close with my sister, but there’s no reason to stop that.

Even now, my sister has a reputation in society as a glamorous and beautiful lady.

‘Please, Catherine, don’t be like your sister.’

The Marquis sighed softly in her husband’s arms, and again prayed for forgiveness in her heart.

‘I’m sorry, honey. Catherine is my daughter, so she was born that way because of our family. Really sorry….’

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

“Your aunt is coming!”

As Katrin said, flapping the letter, Anne happily clenched her hands.

“at las!”

“at las!”

Face to face with Anne and smile.

“Please take me with you when you go to the aphrodisiac.”

“Whoop whoop. Of course.”

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

“Who are you going to write Anne to?”

“You, too, ask for the obvious.”

“husband?”

“of course.”

“… You’re not even married yet.”

At Catherine’s words, Anne said “Hmm” and cleared her throat.

“We have to prepare in advance.”

Did you think of your fiancé’s face?

My face turned red.

It’s a shame.

But Anne’s words are natural.

My aunt always said

A woman should be prepared for all situations and all times.

and seduction!

‘ha….’

When will the charm of a woman come out?

Now, for some reason, it feels like there is no attraction at all.

Rather, it seems that he is being swayed by Oscar-sama’s masculine charm.

‘That shouldn’t be the case.’

When Catherine suddenly became quiet, Anne pushed her face away.

“Do you want to use it on the Duke too? Aphrodisiac.”

“of course!”

“But, lady, how many years do you have before you get married?”

“What are you talking about, Anne! If you wait until then, you will die of old age.”

“… No, they don’t die of old age.”

Suddenly, Anne’s eyes met.

A sigh escaped from both of their mouths almost simultaneously.

Neither Anne nor Catherine herself lacked the charm of a woman.

chest too.

After looking at each other’s chest, a long sigh passed between the two.

“… I hope my aunt will come soon.”

“I will. If you come this time, I think I’ll learn some seduction skills.”

“Yeah, I guess I should.”

really need it the art of seduction.

“…”

Suddenly, I miss Oscar so much.

Katrin took a white conch shell from a box on the dresser.

Listen quietly to your ears.

A strange sound he heard for the first time flowed from the hard shell.

“It’s not even strange.”

Clearly there is nothing inside this hard thing, but how does it make such a sound?

Catherine put the conch shell to her ear and closed her eyes, and Anne quietly left the room.

‘I miss you.’

Not long ago, Oscar attended an evening party held at my house.

Even though it was her own house, Katrin could only stay briefly at the banquet.

Because he is still young, it is too early to have a party at night.

Night is the time for adults.

I want to become an adult soon.

That’s why I want to always be by Oscar’s side.

When Poron let out such thoughts without realizing it, Oscar-sama gave them this along with a small ornament.

[This belongs to a creature that lives in the sea. This hard shell is very small at first, but grows larger and larger. And if you put it on your ear, you can hear the sound of the sea. Interesting, right?]

As Oscar said that, he held a conch shell to Katrin’s ear.

[Someday, when we get married and can afford it, let’s go to the sea together. There are so many things I want to show you.]

Whoops.

Catherine laughed softly with her eyes closed.

The Duke is a very busy man.

If you were busier than your father, you would be busy, but not leisurely.

Oscar-nim, who had been duke since childhood and jumped into the adult world, would not have known this fact, but he still told me to go far out there together.

‘good.’

The more I get to know you, the more I meet you, the more I like Oscar.

More today than yesterday, more tomorrow than today.

“…”

My aunt once said that if you love people too much, there are times when you feel sad for some reason.

I am happy because I love you so much, but there are times when I cry strangely and my heart hurts.

It seems that right now.

Listening to the sound of the sea from Sora makes my heart feel sad and thirsty.

After seeing her for the first time when she was three years old, she ran with all her might, looking only at Oscar-sama without looking away.

And now I can’t wait.

‘When my aunt comes…’

Learn the art of seduction and use the aphrodisiac to create a fait accompli.

Whoops.

Katrin quietly closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the sea that continued to wash in her ears.
