The Resetting Lady

[85]

Duran did not say when he would give an answer.

He just told me to have true love. There’s not much time left now.

Karen put it off because she didn’t want to choose, but she knew she had to choose now.

How will he die? I felt the sensation I felt when I chose it. Karen looked out the window where the servants were screaming.

“The greenhouse repairs are done tomorrow!”

“The lamb has arrived!”

“Check the third floor hallway again!”

The servants were busy getting ready to take Prince Louis’s hand, making an unprecedented fuss. Although the count’s family was always quiet, Prince Louis’ sudden visit made people so excited. Karen could easily imagine that Lian Young-ae was worried about dozens of clothes as she dyed her cheeks red.

“When are you coming?”

“Tomorrow!”

If you stay still, Karen will have a happy ending.

Raymond said he loves Karen again this time and asked her to marry him. As before.

Prince Gwiz became a villain who coveted Karen, but it was also blocked by Prince Louis. Karen can just wait in this room. All you have to do is be a girl in love waiting for Raymond to come back. If you make love this time, if Duran admits it, and it’s over.

Is that it?

Just like before?

Karen woke up. I put my hands back in the box.

Women should always be ready. Karen got up, combed her hair, wore a necklace and earrings, and changed her clothes. Since there was no maid, I had to do it alone. Karen wasn’t used to doing small things by herself. I’ve wasted my years.

“It’s hard to dress alone.”

Karen sighed and managed to slip herself into her dress. I gave up tightening with a corset. It wasn’t something I could do alone. Did his stomach come out? Karen smiled and wiped her face at the trivial thought.

Turn your head up and insert the decoration. You should pay attention to the necklace. Karen picked up a pearl necklace. He himself liked this. Three rows of thick pearls and several diamonds in the middle. I don’t do it well because it’s luxurious, but it was time to do this.

It’s similar to Isela’s, but Karen’s was a little better. Karen hung it around her neck. You’d better dress a little easier. It wouldn’t matter now if my back was dug up. Karen chose a dress that boldly reveals her back. It’s not seen in front of a lot of people, so it must be fine.

Duran secretly liked such clothes.

“He’s a pervert, you know.”

Karen dressed and put on makeup. The red lips looked mature. At the end, he wore a black cape with a hat. Covering his head with a hat, Karen slipped out of the room.

Karen didn’t want to have a happy ending like this.

“Dulan’s still here.”

Karen looks at the Icela Evans mansion. Most of the lights were off. The night fell before I knew it.

“…should I knock on the door?”

Karen stopped walking tired. I thought it wouldn’t be too far. The Earl’s carriage could not be used because it came out of secret to Count Elba’s wife. I took a carriage on the way, but private wagons only go on the main road. And the Evans family’s estate was too large. The carriage stopped in front of the private property. It was fortunate that there were many places that were so large that they were sparsely populated. Karen walked through the bushes.

“How far is Evans from the site.”

Karen opened the back door she had written when she was Isela’s maid of honor. It was locked, but Karen found the extra key under a small statue right next to it. The door opened, revealing the basement.

“…I don’t know the room Dulan.”

Only then did Karen know what she didn’t know. Even if Karen had been with the Evans for a long time, it was the first time Duran was with her.

“…oh, my God.”

Karen walked cautiously, recalling her memory of where she used to be the guest’s room.

Clear, clear, clear.

Before I knew it, the night was deep, and the mansion was still.

Karen took off her shoes and held them in her hand. Evans was noisy no matter how lightly he walked, because he decorated the floor with marble. Karen picked up her shoes and headed carefully to the hallway used by the guests. Even though the mansion was dark, it was a familiar space, so it was not difficult to move.

The splendid mansion was buried in darkness. Karen didn’t want to wake anyone up. All she wants is a meeting with Duran. I wanted to avoid embarrassing situations where I encountered Berdick Evans for nothing.

Each mansion has its own laws. But Karen knows the minor laws of Evans’ mansion. If any of the guest rooms is locked, it’s Duran’s room. Evans’ mansion didn’t lock up the room he didn’t use.

“…oh.”

The door was open. Karen was embarrassed by the door-lock that went smoothly without getting caught. I looked inside just in case, but it was an empty room. I’m going to use this room first since it’s my first room. Karen closed the door and headed to the next room.

“…….”

The room was still empty. What is it? Karen was taken aback.

Is Duran not in Evans’ mansion now? Why? He would be putting Icela Evans to sleep for Karen now. Karen was embarrassed. He must be here now to take care of Isela. She’s not a common disease, so Duran has to keep injecting drugs. But why? At this hour? Where did he go?

“…there, who is it?”

Karen saw the servant move far away with his back. Karen dodged quickly toward the stairs. But he was coming towards Karen. You should avoid it anywhere. Karen climbed the stairs.

“…….”

I quickened my steps up the stairs. Karen knew where to go now. It’s the top. You have to check. At the top, it was Icela Evans’ room.

Something was strange.

“Who is it?”

Another unexpected person appeared. The mansion is about to break. But even if you get whipped by Berdick, you have to check. Karen almost ran up.

in a hurry

I see a visit. Icela Evans’ visit was locked, but Karen knows how to open it. Karen kicked hard at the bottom of the visit. A visit has been made.

And

“…where did you go?”

Isela’s room was empty. There was no one in it. Durand, Icela who’s going to lie down. Karen went into the room and found Isela’s bed. There was no one. Look at the trash can. It was empty. It seemed like a long time ago that I didn’t use it. What about Isela?

“Replacement.”

And behind Karen, someone covered Karen’s mouth. Karen felt a familiar sensation. It was a breathtaking sensation.

Duran is. Isela is. Donna is.

Karen looked into the empty room with dim eyes.

There was still no one there.

Karen opened her eyes. And then I washed it again. Because I couldn’t see anything.

I guess it’s still night.

Karen closed her eyes and went back to sleep. Drowsiness poured down again. However, I felt a strange touch of cloth on my cheek. Karen opened her eyes again. The mushy reason returned slowly. It’s dark. Where are we? Karen felt for the bed. It was to catch the soft rope at the end of the bed. But I couldn’t reach it.

“…Ah.”

Karen finally remembered that she had lost her mind at Evans’ mansion.

Karen went to Evans’ mansion to meet Duran. But there was no Duran. So I went to Isela’s room and she wasn’t even there. Karen lost her mind looking at the room.

Where are we? Karen fell on her bed and tried to remember. It was so dark. There was no window. Or I hit a thick cloth. Where did the man who kidnapped him at Evans’ mansion move him? Karen pulled herself up.

“Where am I?.”

It was so dark.

Karen sat on the bed. It was too dark to get up.

“Berdick Evans?”

I tried singing it as a test, but I couldn’t hear anything. Karen sat in the dark trying to figure out what was going on around her. I lost my mind at Evans’ mansion. Is this the Evans residence?

“…That’s strange.”

Karen groped up. You have to open the window to check the room. Or we should open the door. But it was too dark and Karen was a little scared to walk in the dark. You shouldn’t be afraid of things like this. Darkness is not scary. That’s not what’s really scary. As he comforted himself, Karen got up and reached out her hand.

Karen started walking around the room.

After a few steps, I felt a cold wall. Karen was slightly horrified by the coldness. the touch of a cold stone But I walk while touching the wall.

“Ouch.”

There was something rattling. Is it like a decoration? Karen touched the wall again, pressing down on all the imaginations in her head. But my knee hurt a little. As I groped further, I felt a wooden wall, not a stone. It’s a door, but it wasn’t a door for a visit. It was twice the width of a regular door, and iron plates were placed horizontally in the middle. The doorknob was touched. It was a two-circle handle. It was heavy.

“…heavy.”

Karen pulled and pushed, but it was a little bumpy and couldn’t open anymore.

Someone locked it outside.

“…why?”

Is this the basement? But the basement of Verdick Evans was well known to Karen. He often used to inflict corporal punishment on the users there, but he didn’t have a bed or anything. Why do we need a bed in the physical punishment space? Was there another room in the basement? Karen wasn’t there in her memory.

This is not the residence of Verdick Evans.

Karen came to that conclusion. However, even if the conclusion was reached, it did not understand.

“Why did Verdick Evans put me here….”

Even if you thought you were a thief who sneaked into the Evans family, why would you put them in such a place? If you humiliate them and kick them out, that’s a good thing. If we go further, we can call the police and call them thieves. Karen is just a teenage woman on the surface.

The reason was soon revealed.

Because the door rattled open.

“You’re up.”

He was Prince Gwiz.
