The Villain Changed the Ending

055 I am the real heroine

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

The splendor of the palace banquet seems to be the best I have ever seen.

The whole hall glittered as if small stars had been brought and hung.

It seemed to Catherine that this banquet was all the more joyful and dazzling because it was for herself and me.

I opened my eyes in ecstasy and smiled with a face that shone brighter than the chandeliers that lit up the hall.

It seems that one of the decorations on Katrin’s head was inserted a little shallowly.

It was slightly crooked.

It seems that it will somehow fall off over time.

I took Katrin’s hand and gently led her into a corner.

At the edge of the hall, there are small spaces covered with curtains.

It is a space used by women to tidy up their clothes, to talk secretly, or to have a short tryst with a man and a woman.

I led Katrin there and took her behind a curtain.

It’s a bit embarrassing if you’re a fiancé, but we’re married, so it’s not scandalous to enter a space like this.

I don’t know if it will be an object of curiosity.

A little light shone in the small space behind the curtains, and even in the dark, the ornament on Catherine’s hair sparkled.

Catherine’s breathing quickened slightly.

Her white shoulders move up and down with each breath.

Are you surprised

Maybe I was a little afraid.

“I’m not doing anything, Catherine. I’m just trying to get my hair done right.”

When I said this to reassure her, Katrin, who had been moving fast until a moment ago, stopped.

“…”

After a while, her shoulders went down a bit.

sag

I guess I got depressed.

Maybe I was expecting something like a lover.

A silent laugh came out.

I’m sorry, but although she’s cute and pretty, she doesn’t look like a woman.

because you are still young

She seemed disappointed for a moment, but Catherine quickly revived and raised her head.

His eyes sparkled in the light of the chandelier.

While the hair ornaments were being corrected, the bodies of the two were slightly pressed together.

As if excited by it again, Katrin’s small body moved up and down again and breathed heavily.

He’s a very busy kid.

After putting the headdress in place, I took a step back, and Katrin gulped and opened her mouth.

“Oscar-sama, I really wanted to tell you directly once. I… Whoa…”

Catherine drew in a breath.

He looks nervous.

As I waited patiently for her words, Katrin smiled with a few tears in her eyes.

“Thank you for marrying me. Thank you so much for putting your last name on my first name. I will never forget the day Oscar came to the mansion, the joy of that day. I really love Oscar… I do. Forever, for the rest of my life.”

Catherine’s face is red.

A confession of love and gratitude follows the marriage proposal.

I held Catherine’s hand and bowed my head slightly.

“Thank you, Katrin. I’m very happy too.”

My heart was a little excited at the single-mindedness of this lovely little child.

It is the first confession I receive in my past and present life.

Catherine was the first to receive marriage proposals and love confessions from a woman.

well, is it natural

There would be no one else to do this without Catherine.

Katrin’s long eyelashes blinked a few times, casting shadows.

She moved slightly in front of me and put her hands on her chest.

Katrin looked at me with her eyes wide open.

“Oscar, please. Please take me to the Duke’s house. Waiting for four years is too long. During that time, I will become a grandmother.”

“…”

I hope this wasn’t the point.

I laughed for a moment, kissed the back of her hand lightly, and looked into her eyes.

“Catherine, when you’re old enough to stop saying that.”

“…”

Catherine’s lips pouted.

But this was something I couldn’t help myself.

It doesn’t matter if I’m not a duke and she’s not a duchess.

If the head of the family was at the top, and I was in the position of heir, she could come to the ducal family right now, study, and wait for her to become an adult.

But Catherine is a duchess.

If you officially enter the Duke of Weiss, you must properly serve as the wife of the head of the family.

I didn’t know because I was still young, doesn’t work.

“I want to bring you back as soon as possible, so if you love me, please study hard.”

Saying that, Katrin’s glitter died as if making a pasisy noise.

Her shoulders drooped, and a small sigh leaked from her cute lips.

It seems very disappointing.

Catherine’s appearance, which had been like crispy popcorn a moment ago, instantly became like boiled cabbage.

Feeling a bit pitiful, I tried to stroke her hair, but I stopped right before I could touch her hair.

She’ll be in trouble if you touch her hard-set hair.

My previous wife really hated having her hair touched.

I changed the direction of my hand and lightly touched her nose.

“I’ll see you when I go back to the manor, Katrin. It doesn’t mean that I won’t see you once in four years.”

Catherine lifted her head and it sparkled again.

It’s like a puppy whose ears droop and then stand up again.

I was glad to hear that we could meet, but I think there was something else besides that.

With a puppy-like expression before beef jerky, Katrin looked at my hand and put her head forward a little.

It seems that he wants to do what he tried to stroke earlier.

my head would be ruined

I thought so, but Catherine is too eager.

The way she appealed to me to touch her while sticking her head in front of me was cute, so I lightly put my hand on her.

Maybe it’s because I’m shy that I don’t ask for petting with words.

He’s very aggressive for that kind of thing, but seeing that his whole body is red, yeah, he’s probably pretty shy.

As my hand touched her head, the bridge of Catherine’s nose was slightly wrinkled.

She smiled as if she were really happy.

I held my hand on her head for a while.

I couldn’t even move my hand to caress it.

The intricately weaved hair is covered with something like a net with jewels, and it is fixed in an unknown way, and if it is accidentally damaged, I cannot even use my hands here.

As I quietly raised my hand so as not to mess with Katrin, she moved her neck a little and pushed her head into the palm of my hand like a puppy.

really like a puppy

Her appearance and the wife from the previous life overlapped a bit.

‘I was such a fool.’

I had never seen my wife so happy, even though she gave me money and jewelry, laundry and cleaning, and even researching the novel she was writing.

This cute child is so happy just to be petted.

The me from my previous life became very stupid and bitter.

While doing so for a while, it seems that the king entered the banquet hall.

An attendant loudly announced the position of the king and queen.

“Catherine, shall we go out?”

At my words, Katrin straightened her body and tidied up her hair by lightly touching it.

She places a small hand on my palm.

Grabbing her like a knight in a fairy tale and stepping out of the curtain, people’s eyes fell on the two of us.

‘No, the king came in, but why are you looking here instead of looking over there?’

I escorted Catherine to the center of the hall.

The women hid their faces with fans, only their eyes turned in this direction.

The men are also quietly watching the crabs with their eyes closed.

People whispered with interest on their faces.

“…”

There’s a long way to go.

I took a small breath.

If you are confident, people’s curiosity will quickly cool down and they will turn their attention elsewhere.

However, Catherine’s entire body, which was led by my hand, was all red from her face to the tips of her fingers.

‘Because I’m so shy.’

I didn’t do anything, but wouldn’t it look like I did something amazing?

I just put on my hair ornament properly and received thanks for the marriage.

Of course, we’re a couple on paper, so there’s no scandal.

It doesn’t work, but what about my face and honor for doing something to a child?

It’s somehow absurd.

****[René, novel heroine] ****

The engagement was decided, and Renee was almost confined to her room.

When in the mansion, he is always with at least one woman.

He didn’t let me be alone even when I was sleeping.

always someone watching

I think it’s because I’m worried that I might commit suicide.

When I did go out by chance, I was with the man who was my fiancé.

At such times, they often ride in a carriage alone, without anyone else.

The old fiancée would stick together and not fall apart, and if it hadn’t been for the memory of the previous life, he might have really committed suicide.

Perhaps that is why the twin sister died.

It must have been too humiliating and irritating for a well-grown aristocratic lady.

In such a situation, Renée suddenly had to attend a palace banquet.

She is unfamiliar with aristocratic society, so she doesn’t know if the royal banquet is held several times or if this is unusual.

I was dragged in a dress that was just put on as I was told to go.

Last time my father escorted me, but this time with my fiancé.

From picking up and putting together the stories her father tells, it seems that she ended up getting engaged to the man she was meant to be because she went unnoticed during the social scene.

And just before coming here, her father told her.

If you don’t want to marry that man even if you die, it doesn’t matter if it’s your lover, so get in the eyes of a high-ranking noble.

If you find yourself in the eyes of a noble who can bring profit to the house, you can break off the engagement, but after today, you won’t even have that chance.

I don’t know exactly, but it seems that within the past few days, after the engagement, the man gives something to the Mayer family.

When her fiancé, who had been clinging to her for a while, left to say hello to an acquaintance, Renee could barely breathe.

Renee looked around and began to examine her surroundings.

Oscar will be somewhere.

Even now, if you reproduce the scene in the novel as it is, you may go back.

However, the banquet hall was so large and crowded that it was impossible to find where it was.

While René was floundering, the king entered from the front.

People flocked to it, and Renee somehow felt like she was left behind.

The king says something longer than at the New Year’s banquet.

I could hear the voice, but the hall was so big I couldn’t tell exactly what was being said.

It seemed that he was congratulating something.

By the time the king finished speaking, people’s voices suddenly grew louder.

Words of congratulations spread like waves from far away, and many people laugh happily.

The word “Duke of Weiss” came from everywhere.

It was only then that Renee thought that this banquet might be to commemorate Oscar’s eradication of the locust beast.

‘Then is the Oscar in there?’

Renee started to break through the crowd and go inside.

A few women glanced at her and giggled as if they were mocking her, but there was no time to pay attention to that either.

Hurry up.

Opportunity is today only.

At first, I was dreaming of a happy ending with the prince, but now it didn’t matter who it was.

I don’t mind anyone as long as I can get away from that dirty, ugly fiancé.

Even Oscar is fine.

‘Please… I hope someone can save me.’

No one listened, but my heart kept screaming.

As Renée advanced a little further, she saw Oscar with the King in the foreground.

Oscar was with his fiancee, Catherine.

When the king said something to Oscar, Oscar smiled and bowed his head.

And he smiles softly at Catherine.

Oscar’s mouth lifted a little, as if only one side was twisted.

“…”

weird.

I felt like I had seen it somewhere.

A slightly twisted corner of the mouth and a smiling face are familiar to my eyes…

As I was thinking about that, I heard someone whispering.

“Behind the curtain earlier… whoop whoop… how the Duchess turned red.”

“I saw it too. It’s been a while since we got married, so what… isn’t it in the middle of that time?”

“That’s a good time. With that first intention… I can’t even remember the last time I blushed at my husband.”

“Oh, my wife is too.”

Duchess? married couple?

What are you talking about? Those two must still be engaged.

‘oh my god. no way….’

Renee suddenly came to her senses and looked at the king, Oscar, and Catherine in turn.

‘Uh, this scene… maybe…no, there’s no way that’s the case.’

Renee’s body began to tremble.

‘This, no way.’

Maybe this is the ending of the IF story.

The scene that appears at the end of the novel, where Oscar and Catherine are standing side by side receiving the king’s congratulations.

‘Nonsense. How could this happen?’

There was no attack by barbarians yet.

But why

Thinking so, Renée suddenly looked at Catherine.

‘Isn’t that woman a reincarnation?’

If you think about it that way, the front and back fit perfectly.

If Catherine is a reincarnated person and has acted to please Oscar since she was a child, it could be enough for the story to flow in this way.

Yes, obviously.

Why didn’t I think of it in the first place?

This was a story that often appears in the stories of the villainous young lady.

The villainous young lady is a reincarnated character, so she takes the role of the heroine, and rather twists the story so that the heroine becomes unhappy.

‘I must have seen the story like I did, or the original author, or something like that.’

Renee bit her lip.

It can’t end like this.

‘I’m the main character.’

Taking that away, isn’t she really a woman who is perfect for a villainous young lady?

“…”

If that woman twisted the story, maybe someone else can change it again.

In the novel, when Oscar fell in love with Renée, Catherine intentionally splashed wine on the heroine or tripped her dress at a banquet.

Sometimes he deliberately drops it into a pond, and in the end he pushes it down the stairs.

Catherine’s misdeed was discovered when she pushed Rene down the stairs.

There was someone who witnessed the scene.

Anyway, whenever Rene falls into a crisis, the prince or Oscar helps, and little by little, love sprouts and deepens.

‘I can’t help it if this happens.’

If you reach the ending, you won’t be able to go back to the prince side story.

I have no choice but to admit it.

This is Oscar’s IF story.

The main character of this world is Oscar.

has already been decided

‘then.’

Renee glared at Catherine from a distance.

Of the episodes where Oscar rescues Rene, there is only one that can be used for the current situation.

In the novel, Catherine secretly stepped on her dress at a banquet and tripped Renee.

Oscar then hugs Rene and takes her to his room in the palace.

If the other side doesn’t use it and gets over it, there’s no choice but to stage a self-made play on this side.

‘If you twisted the story, it’s time for me to correct it.’

The real heroine of this story is Rene.

Catherine is not you.
