088 The child was smiling happily

***[My aunt, Countess Becker]***

On the way from the duke’s house to her mansion, Natalie closed her eyes and thought about her childhood.

The carriage shakes.

With the shaking, her thoughts crashed in her head little by little.

*

Katrin… Katrin… You can’t do that. Behind them, great ruin awaits with open mouths. Misfortune is chasing you. please… please… stop.

No matter how much I called, Natalie’s voice did not reach her.

It’s just a dream.

Natalie could only watch Catherine’s ruin, like an outsider watching a play.

‘I thought it was me at first.’

They look so identical.

So he thought it was his previous life or his future or something like that.

From the eyes, nose and mouth to the hair color and voice, they were really the same, only with different names.

Although it was a little different, the way they behaved and even the situation was similar.

Katrin hurting others for me was really similar to what Natalie had done before.

She knew now that it wasn’t herself, but someone else, Katrin now, but at the time, she couldn’t help but think it was Natalie herself.

I might have thought differently if I could hear the titles of other families even in my dreams, or at least know their names clearly.

But apart from the names Rene and Catherine, everything else was vague.

I could tell that they were calling names or titles, but it sounded imprecise, as if they were hearing it through something.

I had no idea which family it belonged to or what the exact name was.

So I thought it was my job.

It’s my future or past life.

“…”

Even thinking about that dream now brings tears to my eyes.

The dream proceeded with a different story each time.

The beginning is always the same.

A woman named Rene appears, and she goes mad with jealousy.

And he was condemned for trying to harm her.

Sometimes they were sold to prostitutes, and sometimes they were given as sacrifices to barbarians.

Sometimes, Rene became a plaything for men who liked women but could not get along.

Crying and crying while receiving violence from men full of anger…

The ending is always the same.

Suffered and suffered, and in the end died a miserable death.

A happy ending never comes.

After having dozens of dreams and leaving the temple of the goddess the next day, Natalie continued to dream of Catherine.

It was natural to think it was a revelation from God.

That’s what will happen if you don’t change your current behavior.

It felt like the goddess was saying that.

So Natalie changed her behavior.

Everything went well after that.

She married the man she had liked for a long time and established herself as a well-known lady in the social world.

I thought the future had changed.

I will never see anything like that dream again.

It wasn’t until after I gave birth to my first son that I realized that wasn’t the case.

When I gave birth to my son, I wanted to go to that small, shabby temple for some reason.

When I went back to that place after begging my husband, I came to know about it as if I had been struck by lightning.

Oh, that child was my daughter.

I realized that my daughter was destined to be so miserable.

It’s hard to explain how I came to be so sure.

It felt like someone was trying to get into Natalie’s head and speak directly to her.

[Look, your daughter will be like that. That is the future of your beloved daughter.]

There is nothing logical about it.

‘But it was definitely a revelation from God.’

Undoubtedly.

From that day on, I started dreaming again.

The ominous dream repeated itself without any change.

Catherine’s future has not changed at all.

After that, they gave birth to several more sons.

Everyone, including her husband and her parents, was happy, but Natalie’s heart was uneasy.

Catherine’s dream continued.

And when the daughter was born, Natalie didn’t name her Katrin.

gave it a different name.

I wanted to live a different life with a different name from my dreams.

However, the daughter died within days of birth.

When she gave birth to another daughter, she was forced to name her Catherine.

The child also died the day after giving birth.

He was obviously healthy when he was born, but he died as if someone had plucked the flower of life.

then i realized

Oh, my daughter cannot be born with my belly.

I just found out that I was born by borrowing someone else’s body.

I didn’t think it would be my older brothers’ children.

If her daughter was born on another boat, she would definitely be her sister’s child.

Natalie had three sisters.

But one died young, and the other died while giving birth.

There was only one person left, now the Marquis of Petrie.

He waited for a daughter to be born to his brother.

And when the child was finally born, Natalie said nothing, but the child was already named Katrin.

I already thought it would be like that before I saw it, but I knew it for sure the moment I saw Catherine.

‘My cute daughter.’

The younger brother considers Katrin to be his daughter, but it is different.

The child’s soul was clearly connected to Natalie.

‘Even if you don’t know God’s will, you can tell just by looking at his face.’

Anyone can see that Catherine resembles herself, not her mother.

From the face to the voice to the personality.

Natalie gave a small laugh.

The carriage stopped and the door opened.

As the attendant left the stairs to get off the carriage, the butler held out his hand.

Relying on him to get off the carriage, the butler said in a low voice.

“Madam, I got a call that Baron Meyer’s escorts have finished their work.

“…”

It’s Rene’s.

Natalie’s face frowned on its own.

From nob le mt l dot com

Just remembering her name makes me feel bad.

I remembered her face in my dream, hiding behind the men and staring at Catherine.

When I first dreamed, I was young and didn’t know much about it, but now I know the meaning of that expression.

The woman herself knew that she was seducing the man.

I was shaking the heart of another woman’s fiancé without knowing it.

It was simply used as a prop to attract the heart of the desired man and instigate competition, and then discarded it.

‘Although I can’t be sure that Rene of the dream and now are exactly the same person.’

It won’t be much different.

Recalling Renee’s face at the banquet, Natalie looked at the butler with a cold expression.

“Okay, give them the money you promised.”

“I understand. There is also a letter of thanks from Baron Mayer.”

“I’d like to make an appropriate response phrase and put it on my desk by the end of the day. Prepare it so that I can send it as long as I sign it.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Baron Meyer was very perplexed, not knowing what to do with his daughter who had disrespected the duke.

What Natalie did there was simple.

I just gave the baron a word of advice.

He said it would be better to send his daughter to a strict monastery to atone for sins than to apologize directly to the duke.

And at the end of the talk, he recommended a monastery.

The monastery was notorious for its harsh labor and strict surveillance.

Once you go in, you can’t get out.

All that remains is to make sure that the woman gets there properly.

An attendant was sent to watch over them and make sure the escorts were doing their job properly.

He also paid a small fee so that he would not abandon René in the middle and make a false report.

‘Even if I just throw it away, it doesn’t matter to me as it is.’

The woman’s work should be watched a little more.

As I saw in my dream, I don’t know when Catherine’s future will be blocked.

It is always good to keep them under surveillance.

‘if.’

If the woman makes one attempt to harm Catherine, or approaches the duke, or has similar intentions, I will never forgive her.

‘Whoa.’

As she entered the mansion and headed for her room, Natalie breathed comfortably for the first time in years.

Renee was immobilized, and on this trip, she finally found the temple she was looking for.

I don’t know what the temple means.

However, he had to find the temple and inform the Duke of Weiss.

Surely that must have been the will of the goddess.

Priests there recovered the body of Oscar, who had been executed in a dream.

Crying in pain, crying, as if seeing the end of this world, the priests cleaned Oscar’s body and offered it to the altar.

[I offer the goddess’s beloved child. Please have pity on humans. God, Goddess.]

The person who shouldn’t have died is dead.

The priests in the dream were saying so.

The priests prayed for the sins of mankind and prayed for days without eating or sleeping, and then collapsed and died one by one.

At the temple she recently visited, Natalie hadn’t seen a dreamlike atmosphere.

The small temple looked ordinary, and the priests were just going about their quiet daily lives.

Of course, no priest recognized Natalie or said anything strange.

It was just one of the normal temples.

But it was there.

The same place I had seen many times in my dreams.

And just once Natalie was able to intervene in the dream.

‘Whoop whoop.’

Natalie smiled involuntarily and lifted her head.

A gorgeous chandelier hung from the high ceiling caught my eye.

Seeing the chandelier glistening in the light, the events of the day came back to life in my head.

Catherine is happy now because Natalie helped her.

He pulled out the filthy pig that had been tormenting Katrin, and shoved someone else into it.

This was a few years before Catherine was born.

The dream that day was different from other times.

The story always starts with the scene where Renée appears and proceeds with Catherine’s jealousy accelerating, but Catherine was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, I saw a man and a woman with a low nose and slightly dark skin in a dark space.

The curves of the face are different from those of the Kingdom.

They were probably of a similar race to those who lived on the other side of the continent.

His face wasn’t white, it was a bit yellow, and he was different from the people you usually see.

A woman and two men.

He quickly realized that the woman was Rene.

The appearance was completely different, but I could tell.

Renee was connected to a certain man by a long thread.

The thread seems to have been connected to the dream space where Catherine is, in the dark.

Renee called the man she was connected to Kyungwan.

And a little further away from the two was a man.

A strange cocoon-like thing formed and restrained every part of his body, and the man watched Renee and Kyung-wan without moving.

A silvery thread stretched out from the man in all directions, but it was not connected anywhere.

The ends of the thread were dirty, as if someone had forcibly pulled them off, and the man was slowly dying.

Perhaps the soul was dying.

Rene and Kyung-wan looked at each other with shiny eyes, looked at the darkness again, and slowly began to be sucked into somewhere.

I thought the souls were connecting.

I just knew that they were being sucked into the bodies of Renee and Oscar, respectively.

His eyes darkened with anger and despair.

Because of the two, Katrin dies. suffer

Knowing that, can’t we just leave it alone?

I was so angry, I couldn’t stay still, so I unknowingly swung my arms and went forward.

Then something amazing happened.

Unlike other times, Natalie actually jumped into that dream.

I’ve never been able to get in.

I just had to keep watching.

But now you can do something.

Upon learning that, Natalie immediately rushed at the man and woman.

I didn’t even think about what it would be like.

I just thought that I shouldn’t let the two go like this.

for my daughter.

For my unborn daughter.

Natalie grabs the man, pushes Renee, and runs amok.

Then, I accidentally ripped off the thread of a man named Kyung-wan.

The thread attached to Renée stretched out in the dark and was impossible to break, but the one on Kyung-Wan’s was only thin.

He didn’t mind the fact that his hands were bleeding, and he frantically tore them apart.

Kyung-Wan struggled with his hands to somehow grab the thread, but Natalie did not hold onto the thread that emerged from the darkness.

But this time, he began to be sucked into Oscar’s body.

Realizing that if you hold on to the thread, it will, Natalie tied it to the man who was alone in the cocoon.

At that moment, as if he had been waiting, the thread in the darkness pulled the man in the cocoon.

A silvery thread stretched from the man’s body, shining brightly, and the cocoon that bound him melted away.

The man instantly changed into Oscar’s form and was sucked into the temple.

Renee was slowly pulled into the darkness, but Oscar was headed to a completely different, bright and beautiful temple.

I was able to know that the dream I had seen since childhood was for this job.

It was a mission given to Natalie.

Shortly after that incident, I heard that the long-awaited heir had been born to the ducal family.

I later learned that his name was Oscar.

After that, I only dreamed of Catherine once.

In the dream, Catherine was smiling happily.

After that, I couldn’t dream any more.

The story must have ended happily.

Natalie stared at the chandelier and closed her eyes.

‘Enough now.’

Everything the goddess wanted from her was done.

She did not know what the temple meant to the duke, but her job was done by informing the duke of the temple.

Lonely with his sons, he traveled abroad for a long time in search of the temple.

In order to divert her husband’s eyes to foreign countries, the work of trying to find out about business in other countries has come to an end, and now there is no need to wander abroad anymore.

‘I never thought I’d be this close.’

With only a handful of dream memories, I searched for it for a really long time.

But now it’s over.

I was finally able to finish what I had been dragging on for a long time.

‘Catherine will be happy.’

Obviously it is.

If you do this and your daughter becomes unhappy, even God will not forgive you.

never… never.
