The Villain Changed the Ending

079 Please have a good dream

***[Heroine Oscar]***

People with tenacity or conviction are strong.

The old mountain keeper fell to the ground and begged to save his family, then stopped moving.

It seems as if he came running here with the determination to say only that.

‘Couldn’t it be… that he’s dead.’

I lie on my stomach so quietly that I can think of that.

The doctor who ran after receiving Benno’s call immediately looked at the mountain keeper.

“I passed out. I must have relaxed.”

thank god.

My heart was relieved for an instant, and I breathed a sigh of relief without even realizing it.

Perhaps the old mountain keeper has been desperately keeping his spirits up until now, with the single thought of having to inform him of this.

At the root of that, there must have been a desire to save one’s own family rather than a will to save people in this world.

“Ah, Father. Come to your senses.”

The young mountain keeper was half-crying, holding onto his father’s body as if embarrassed.

He just didn’t make a sound, in fact, he’s been weeping silently since before.

He cries with his mouth tightly closed with a blunt face.

Even the tears were manly, crude cries.

But it touched my heart more.

I don’t want to kill the old mountain keeper who has come a long way for his family.

Listening to my son’s cries, I asked the doctor in a low voice.

“How can I save you?”

Pavalma runs almost non-stop, changing horses.

Of course, the liaison officer was also selected as someone who was good at riding horses.

It was difficult to catch up with Pabalma’s speed with a wagon just because it started a little early.

To arrive so quickly, perhaps these mountain keepers hardly rested.

An unreasonable journey would have been a considerable strain for a body that was not in good shape.

After examining the mountain keeper for a while, the doctor opened his mouth.

“I can’t give you a definitive answer, but with good medicine and a lot of time, it might be possible.”

“Money and time are freely provided by the Duke.”

“I will do my best.”

The doctor called the waiting disciples and took the mountain keeper out.

The young mountain keeper fell to the ground and continued to bow, just as his father had done.

“Thank you, Highlord, thank you.”

“You and father have done important things. This much is natural. You must have worked a lot, so take a few days off. We will reward you and father separately after that. If there is something you want, then make a wish at that time.”

“Thank you thank you.”

“You may go back to your father’s side now.”

When the mountain keeper stood up at my words, the attendant approached and escorted him outside.

Benno quietly walked around and opened the window.

In that short interval, a rotten I was vibrating in the narrow room.

Seeing that it smelled like this, the wounds applied with the splint might already be rotting away.

“Can I really save it?”

As I muttered, Benno spoke in a soft voice.

“The doctor doesn’t rush to give an affirmative answer. If he said it was possible, he must be confident. The mountain keeper will be fine.”

I hope so.

I took a small breath.

“By the way, Benno, do you know exactly what it’s like for a goddess to get angry?”

“well.”

A thin wrinkle formed on Benno’s forehead.

The gods of this world are close to humans.

Farmers do it at the time of sowing and harvesting, preferably on days that are said to have been blessed by the gods, and hunters do not catch animals forbidden by the gods.

At Changgwan, priests and scholars who looked into the will of the gods were respected instead of accepting women blessed by the goddess.

When you have to hunt animals that the gods love, or when you harvest on a bad day, or when you think that the gods do not allow it, you pray fervently.

Just as there are good days for moving on Earth, there are good days for doing something in this world.

But the troublesome thing is, there are no precisely defined rules.

According to experience, or by thinking that it might be like this, that was decided.

Even priests and scholars do not know exactly.

The intentions and thoughts of the gods were not clearly communicated through writing or oracles.

Most of the time, it felt like that.

“Benno, how can I find out why the goddess is angry and where it happened?”

“That’s… I’m sure few people will ever figure it out. You’re in trouble.”

“…”

I wish the gods would tell me something, but the gods of this world rarely give out oracles.

It wasn’t that there was no oracle at all, but at least I had to guess and guess on my own.

I heard that sometimes people do things that go against God’s will and get punished for doing it wrong.

really got into trouble

“First of all, find out if there is a book or someone who has researched the goddess’ wrath.”

“I’ll give you directions right away.”

That night I couldn’t sleep well.

I only have ominous thoughts about whether I have brought misfortune to this world, or maybe the goddess is angry because of me.

However, without being able to express my feelings anywhere, I continued to lose sleep and suffer.

*

The feeling continued into the next day.

still feel uncomfortable

Although careful not to reveal it, Benno seems to have sensed something.

Sometimes he looked at me with a worried face.

However, he didn’t say anything, probably thinking he was paying attention because of what the mountain keeper said.

I put more energy into my work.

The time that was originally split into small pieces is used more urgently, frantically looking at documents and listening to reports from aides.

I didn’t give her a chance to breathe, lest other thoughts cling to her mind, even for a moment.

I was a little afraid that it would be time to go to bed at night.

But night will come.

When it was time for everyone to go to sleep, including the aide and servant, who had been working late, and the surroundings had sunk in darkness, I had no choice but to head to the bedroom.

Starting tomorrow, people from the Bongsin family will start arriving.

It is also important for Dangju to greet them with a healthy and bright appearance.

It is also the place where Katrin is making her debut, so you shouldn’t greet her with a tired appearance.

You will have to show that you are happy to be with Katrin.

You have to sleep for that time.

Before changing clothes and going to bed, Benno spoke to me.

“Master, today your wife’s door is open.”

“…”

I’m not in the mood to laugh at that today.

However, when Benno said it, I didn’t just ignore it and sleep.

Maybe seeing her sleeping makes me feel a little better.

I quietly headed for the middle door.

When I got there, I couldn’t help but smile a little.

Yesterday it was a gap about the size of a finger, but today it’s open a little wider, about the size of a fist.

‘Did Benno tell someone I went in?’

So Katrin is a bit more open today.

But today, too, she is a child of a dream country.

I heard that I went to bed a little later than usual, but I still fell asleep when I ate like a child.

‘It’s a cute child.’

It seems that a little wind came in from somewhere.

The light of the candlestick he was holding swayed slightly, and a shadow danced around the room.

Under the dancing shade, Catherine was sleeping like a flower.

It’s not a metaphor, it’s really like a flower.

Her hair was rolled up and set, and her clothes were not her usual pajamas.

The fact that the shoulders and arms look quite cold is a bit scary to look into.

Tired office workers say that when it’s time to go to bed, their wives are scared, but I’m probably feeling the same now.

And the bed was strewn with petals.

Mostly around Catherine’s face and body.

‘Who gave you this advice?’

It’s getting colder now, and naked clothes aren’t good.

I remembered hearing somewhere that women should keep warm.

Thinking that I should stop this, I pressed my lips lightly to Katrin’s forehead.

A faint rose scent emanated from her.

In the past, when studying women’s seduction, I heard that the scent of roses is often used to seduce men.

‘Really… This child is steadfast and unchanging.’

Spraying rose scent to seduce you while sleeping coolly, setting your hair like a person going somewhere, and how about your clothes?

I laughed for the first time today.

Suddenly, the voice of an old mountain keeper begging for his family’s life came to mind.

Not for anyone else, but for my family.

That would have been the person’s honest feelings.

I lightly stroked Catherine’s cheek with my finger.

‘me too….’

It is such a family for someone.

To my mother, to Benno, to the captain of the escort and to the many people who work for me.

And to this little girl.

I am someone’s family that I want to protect even if I hurt others.

It’s like Katrin is talking to me with her whole body.

I came to this world and there are people who are happy because of it.

So I felt like saying it was okay.

“Thank you, Catherine.”

Worrying doesn’t solve it

Feeling guilty doesn’t mean I’ll die on my own, and I won’t have to do what I can do now.

‘Because I haven’t decided it’s because of me yet.’

Perhaps the goddess is angry over the death of a certain woman or child in this world.

It is said that sometimes a single person is more important to a god than a thousand, and no one really knows what could be the cause.

I cheered in my heart and turned around.

When I went back to the room, Benno was standing there, looking at my face and smiling as if he was relieved.

“It’s worried you.”

“Nothing. Please don’t bother too much. There must be a clue somewhere.”

“okay.”

If the goddess wasn’t just angry, she might have left a clue.

No, definitely will.

If I were a god, I would do that.

“…”

I just hope it has nothing to do with me.

If my existence is having an adverse effect on this world, can I abandon myself for the sake of the world?

‘I probably won’t.’

Even if I live in pain without telling anyone, I don’t think I will have the courage to do so.

Perhaps he was worried about me, Benno was waiting in the corner, holding his breath, even after I got into bed.

“…”

At times like this, even if I tell them to go back and rest, they won’t listen.

Normally, he obeyed my words absolutely, but only when I tortured his heart like this, he became strong.

I quietly closed my eyes.

In this case, falling asleep quickly helps him.

Until I go to bed, Benno will stay here.

No, maybe even after I fall asleep.

His body is already grown and surpasses Benno, but he seems to have become a child again.

It felt like I was back in my childhood, when Benno would soothe me when I was tormented by nightmares.

It may have been a little relieved by Benno watching from the side.

I fell into a deep sleep before I knew it.

Someone’s hand gently touched his forehead.

Are you measuring the heat?

The moment I thought that, my hair fell behind Sarara’s ears.

It looks like you got your hair sorted out.

And after a while, a low voice was heard.

[Please have a good dream.]

In Benno’s eyes, I still look like a child.

But I was relieved by his words.

I fell into a deep sleep, feeling Benno by my side.

Finally, the first guest of the Bongsin family arrived.

The guests who arrived with their luggage in several wagons were greeted by Benno and escorted to a guest room in the villa.

After resting for a while, tidy up your clothes, and greet each other formally in the evening.

When the number of guests is small, it becomes a banquet, but as the number of guests increases, it changes to a buffet format and gradually turns into a banquet.

That’s why when the hunting season came, everyone hurriedly headed here as if they were competing.

This is because those who arrive early have more opportunities to get to know you personally.

Thanks to that, Katrin’s face could not be seen at all from morning until afternoon.

Dinner is a place to showcase the hostess’s skills.

In reality, even if the mother prepares most of it, Catherine is the hostess of this hunting season.

The dinner was hosted by Catherine, the Duchess.

Katrin had to check with her own eyes and know where and in what way, even the smallest details.

It must have been very difficult for Catherine to do something she was not used to.

Still, he doesn’t cry a word, and even pays attention to my temptations at night, so he’s really strong and healthy.

Sometimes she acts weird and makes her mother and the whole family laugh, but she’s doing pretty well anyway.

For some reason, I became a little proud.

It’s not my child, but somehow I felt like I raised it.

Catherine returned to the couple’s bedroom only when it was time to get dressed before going out to the guests.

However, without seeing her face properly, she was immediately led by the ladies-in-waiting to her room.

It seems that preparations such as skin care, makeup, and hair setting have already been completed to some extent, but it is said that the finishing touches remain.

‘Even if I just need to finish it with words.’

The finish takes at least a couple of hours.

She had been doing that for years, so she knew too much that women take time to prepare.

My preparation takes some time, but just like on Earth, women take many times as much time as men.

I changed my clothes after working to a certain extent according to that time.

After waiting for a while, the maid opened the middle door.

“Your wife is ready.”

As I got up and headed for the middle door, Katrin came in this way.

“Sorry for the delay, Oscar.”

She is full of vitality, as if bouncing around, but I thought she would be a little tired.

But she was shining like someone who had dug up a thousand-year-old wild ginseng.

Doesn’t look tired at all.

And it was beautiful.

‘Come to think of it, my mother told me. Catherine is looking forward to the hunting season presented as the Duchess.’

It’s not just the looks.

Her happy mood was very pretty.

I narrowed my eyes for a moment and looked at her, then moved closer and held out my hand.

I was going to say a few flat-out compliments, but I changed my mind.

I kissed the back of my hand and whispered in her ear.

“You’re very beautiful, Katrin. I remember a lot of compliments on women, but I love you so much that it all blows away.”

Her face instantly turned red.

“Ma’am, shall we go?”

When I said, raising her hand slightly, Katrin nodded as red as a tomato, not yet resurrected.

“Ma’am, have a good time.”

I heard the voices of the maids cheering for Catherine.

Leaving that behind, Katrin and I slowly walked down the long hallway.
