The Resetting Lady

[83]

The man grabbed Karen by the arm.

“…Keep it down, Karen Evans.”

“What’s your rank? What family are you from? Make it clear.”

“You don’t have to know that.”

Karen noted that his clothes were plain, and his speech and accent were also rough. He is not officially employed by the royal family. They can’t say that. Karen looked around. There were a few more men like him behind.

“Even if you’re Prince Gwiz, it’s ridiculous to take a sleeping person at night like this. Tell them to invite us officially.”

“Ha.”

“If you want to sleep with me, at least tell him to treat me like a mistress.”

Crying.

Karen breathed hard. What’s this? That guy. Right now. My cheek. On my face. My head is shaking. Karen blinked her eyes. It was unexpected violence from the unexpected. Tears formed around my eyes.

The bell slapped Karen on the cheek. He was beaten by a man who didn’t know his name and never hit him.

“Be sharp.”

“…if you hurt my face, you won’t be safe.”

However, even when I tried to clean up, my voice was weak. Karen stared at him with all her heart. I’ve been whipped hundreds of times by Verdick and decapitated dozens of times. It hurts my pride. But the man laughs as if Karen’s eyes are funny.

“That’s your idea.”

“I’ll let Count Elba know.”

If we go like this, it seemed like we would just disappear from the world without anyone knowing. At least if you go, you should let someone know and go. He didn’t want to just disappear.

“I’ll give you 10 minutes. Change your clothes. Or I don’t care if you just go. I won’t even be wearing clothes in front of him anyway.”

Karen sat down and looked at him.

“One.”

“Two.”

He counts. Karen should think. You have to make a judgment. If you keep going, at least you have to pretend to be a victim to Raymond. You shouldn’t just disappear like this. Karen regretted the past two days when she tried to escape from reality. But what should we do?

Who’s going to help her out of the crown prince?

“It’s evil to tease a woman.”

“…Your Grace.”

Then a miraculous voice came in. It was his son who helped her. It was a young royal family who admired Raymond.

Prince Louis has come in.

Then three knights followed him in.

The servant fell to his knees. The crown prince looked down at the man and asked his knight.

“Do you know who he is?”

“…I don’t know.”

“Who are you?”

“Louis, you don’t have to mingle. He’s a humble man.”

The driver stepped up and asked the man instead. The man got down and tightened his head.

“Who are you?”

“I run errands under Prince Gwiz.”

“So, you’re saying your father called Miss Karen in the middle of the night?”

“…….”

The man didn’t seem to know what to say.

“Why is the Crown Prince here at this late hour?”

“Wow.”

Lewis laughed funny.

“You must not have heard who I am. Sir, did you hear that?”

“Yes, you’re trying to interrogate the royal family.”

“Oh, no!”

The man who suddenly became the one who questioned the crown prince’s hand was sweating profusely.

“The Prince of Wales….”

“Why did you call me?”

“…I don’t know.”

“Is the country in danger now?”

“…….”

Lewis spoke again kindly to the man who didn’t understand what he was saying.

“If the country is in an emergency, does Ms. Karen need to go now unless she’re evacuating people?”

“This is what Prince Gwiz asked for. I’ve been ordered.”

“Shut up.”

The driver gripped his head.

“It’s late at night, so you don’t have to go now. Isn’t that right?”

“Your Grace… please show mercy to me, too.

The man’s voice was shaking like Karen just before.

“Really? Should I care about that?”

Prince Louis winked at the knight. The driver lifted the man’s head. Prince Louis opened his mouth as he made eye contact with the man.

“You’d better think it over. Who should I listen to?”

As the man groveled out, Prince Louis beckoned Karen, who bowed his head.

“You don’t have to change clothes. I’ll be right out.”

“I’m sorry.”

How did you get here now? Karen was curious, but she didn’t know if she could open her mouth or ask questions first, so she didn’t let go. But he opened his mouth first.

“Lord Raymond sent me a pigeon.”

“But how did you….”

“You’re a son who cares about his father’s bed. What a country, aren’t you?”

Karen just bowed her head. When Prince Louis beckoned the knight, the door opened.

“I’ll be back to see Lian Young-ae one more time soon. If I’m in this mansion, there’s no way a man like that would ever come in.”

Prince Louis went out without looking back to see if Karen’s thanks were needed. Karen got up and sat on the bed. His manner, gesture, and hairstyle were a lot of imitations of Raymond. He seemed to like him quite a bit. Although I still look young in a small place. Karen wondered how different he would be when he became an adult. I’ve never seen it before.

“…Donna, tea.”

Has he not come yet?

Karen frowned. Her own maid, she was out of sight for too long. It’s good enough, so I kept it next to me, and it’s getting insincere. Karen clicked her tongue thinking of the other child she was using before.

But the next day she didn’t come back.

Karen became more anxious than when Raymond didn’t come.

Donna is missing.

This has never happened before.

No, so far, Donna has never been her own maid. Karen has no idea how she has lived or moved so far. Where is she now?

Karen was curious.

“Well… I didn’t come to get my meal today. Oh, isn’t that Miss Karen?”

A middle-aged woman, the chef of the count’s family, looked surprised when she saw Karen. Karen looked at the kitchen. It was very large and there were many people as it was in the Count’s family. The chef asked Karen in a slightly surprised voice.

“So you haven’t been able to continue eating? Oh, my God, if you’re in your room, I’ll tell you to bring it right away. Oh, my….”

“No, I’m not very hungry.”

Karen shook her head to the nervous maids behind the chef.

“Do you know when Donna was gone?”

“No.”

Donna is her own maid in the first place. And he is in a position where he lives on the good side of his countess. It was not related to other people. Donna is the guest’s maid who just picks up the food and carries it. All you know is your name. Such an outsider.

“Where did he go?”

“Since when you haven’t seen him?”

“I don’t know…Two days? Three days?”

Because of Prince Gwiz, Karen has spent the past few days worrying about herself almost like a wreck. She did not know exactly when Donna disappeared.

“Didn’t you say anything?”

I ordered the delivery of the letter, but it hasn’t been seen since. Where on earth did he disappear? I thought I could stay at Evans’ mansion for a day, but it took too long.

“Yes.”

“Then I think it’s going to be a little hard.”

Karen rubbed her eyes. And when he saw the chef turn around and say, ’12 cases of bacon,’ he stepped back. The kitchen maidens were all full of expectations, excitement and tension. Donna was not interested in anything, and she was just waiting for her to leave. Karen decided not to waste any more time.

“I’m going to the kids in the laundry room.”

“Do you know where you are?”

“Yes.”

I’ve been here a couple of times.

Karen headed for the laundry room. The maids there also seemed to have a lot of work. When Karen arrived, the person in charge came to respond despite her busy schedule, but the maid in the laundry room also gave no answer.

“I don’t know, he’s not the one we work with.”

“Do you want me to send you a full-time?”

“Later.”

Karen had nothing to say to the maid who cared only for her regards. The maidens in the laundry room didn’t even know Donna’s name. Actually, it’s natural. Donna is Karen’s maid. There is no contact with them.

“Well, lady.”

The laundryman called to Karen. Karen looked back.

“They’re good at quitting. How old are you?”

“18.”

“Children of that age run away from home a lot. I won’t be back after 3 days. Just forget it.”

The horse was the same for the maid.

Everywhere the maids of the mansion were upright old women. He was a tall housekeeper who looked like Helen in Haier. Come to think of it, where is she going now? The housekeeper looked down at Karen and said,

“Don’t you know when he left?”

“I’m not sure.”

“I’ll call the police. But please don’t tell other guests for the time being.”

“When are you going to contact the police?”

“…I’ll get back to you as soon as they’re gone.”

If Donna was kidnapped by someone, no one would know.

Karen added urgently before her face changed. Like an excuse.

“I think you know better why.”

“…so.”

Of course Karen knew the reality better than the housekeeper. Prince Louis’ comfortable living is more important than Donna’s disappearance.

Donna was no different from the dozens of maids Karen met today, and it’s not so strange that she disappeared. Such women disappear countless times a day in the capital alone, and very few of them appear dead. It’s that kind of world.

Thack.

Karen entered her room, a separate house provided by Count Elba, to be exact.

Even if it was a separate house, it was quite luxurious as the place the count provided. This place was not so bad. Karen thought of Donna. a maid’s room some distance from her room

Karen rose from her seat and began heading for a place she had never been to.

The maids in the maid’s room were different at that time. It was mostly Nancy who stayed there. And sometimes it was Sarah. It was the first time Donna was there. It was a bit of a stimulus, and I sometimes thought about cutting Donna’s throat. After strangling Nancy.

Karen didn’t like her constant confusion. He had originally intended to kill, kill, and work hard in this life. How far can we kill from Raymond’s eyes? That was Karen’s purpose.

“Dulan tied it up with a wager that wasn’s bet.”

Duran’s purpose in this life has been completely misplaced. Karen’s entertainment was no more than time-consuming after all. Even if it’s a provocative thing to kill. This is because Karen wanted the end, which was not worth compared to her death.

Duran stopped Karen from continuing to kill, but now Karen wants to stop betting more and more. Because Raymond’s love was never changed. It would have been fun to kill Karen, but his unwavering love again raised doubts.

Karen shook her head.

Now Karen was more curious about Donna than Raymond or Duran. Just as Nancy showed a new side of herself that she had never shown before by her death, how do you know if Donna will show a new side of herself?

Usually the maid’s residence is a mansion, but Karen’s maidens always followed Karen. Nancy was one of Karen’s doctors, and Donna?

Crying.

“It would be fun if Donna was the ultimate killer.”

Karen opened the door.
