The Resetting Lady

[145]

“I think she’s a little crazy.”

“Don’t say that to Mrs. Katherine. He’s a good man.”

Nancy, who received house, pay and respect from Catherine, wanted to repay her for her own kindness. But Karen replied with a voice that she was tired of Nancy.

“Then is my mom normal? How about drugging her and brainwashing her?”

“…….”

“Look.”

I think I know the reason.

Catherine was also caught too well by a powerful crazy man like Gwiz. But at the time, Crown Prince Gwiz was the nation’s number one groom. He was a future king, handsome, and loved Catherine. Kathryn may not have been sexually harassed by any other man. Karen knew it was stupid to pick a man out of character. But Gwiz is too crazy.

Catherine suffered from him, and she was driven by repeated deaths. And you must have been disillusioned with the fear of death and the escape through pregnancy. Karen understood why her mother did it. Although she did not affirm her behavior as a victim.

How many times did Catherine die to run away from him? Karen was curious about that.

“How many times did you say you died?”

“You didn’t say that.”

“…I see.”

“How many times did you die?”

Nancy asked. Karen frowned and thought. How many times did he die?

“106 times.”

“The delusion… that’s very specific.”

Karen still sighed at Nancy, who she still didn’t believe this time.

Nancy had her own affection for Karen. It can be seen from her careful care. But she also had arrogance at the same time. I secretly looked down on Karen because of her inferiority complex from her ingredients and her conceit that she could manage Karen’s head.

It wasn’t that pleasant, but it was annoying to fight with a pistol again. Nancy doesn’t betray you if you conciliate well with money. Since I’ve tried this and that, I think that’s acceptable. He seems to have become much more flexible as he grows older.

“Sigh….”

Karen lay back. I rolled back in bed. What should we start with this time? I wanted to live a more relaxed life before Raymond came. This is not the end, but the fact that someone remembers her makes a difference. What should I do if I don’t succeed next time? It was okay to die as if you were sleeping in Raymond’s arms like last time.

“Madam, what are you doing getting old?”

“Caterpillar play.”

Karen rolled up the blanket and answered back. Nancy freaked out, and Karen rolled back the 10,000 quilt.

“Don’t be so childish when you’re old. I didn’t raise him like this.”

“You came in after I got older. You don’t have to raise him.”

I know my nanny was Mrs. Dare when she was a kid. Nancy smiled embarrassingly as Karen answered.

“You can even remember that.”

“I won’t cause any more trouble, so don’t try to brainwash. Like I said, I’ll give you more money.”

“Okay, okay.”

Nancy nodded her head. She didn’t want to force Karen back into her crying mouth when Karen was in such a stable condition. Now Karen still has the delusion that she’s coming back to life (Nancy could not believe it), but it’s been a long time since she’s seen such a stable figure. In addition, if the money was given separately, Nancy was willing to betray her lord and join Karen. In any case, it was also true that he was more interested in Karen, who he took care of.

“So what are you going to do? It’s your birthday soon. ID Dulan will be here. You have an engagement at that’

Should I meet Duran? Karen seemed to have a lump of lead stuck in her chest. That son of a gun. I’m gnashing my teeth. The biggest problem is that he doesn’t even remember. And no threats or torture worked because they believed in repetition and eternal life. I don’t want to meet you because I don’t have an answer. Torture also loses strength. You’ll have to think of a different way because you failed five times in a row.

“Am I infertile?”

“What?”

That was so out of the blue. Karen said to Nancy again.

“I think Duran made me infertile. Do you know anything about it? Did your mom make you do that?”

“I don’t… I don’t know.”

That doesn’t help much.

“If you look at me like that, I’m sad….”

“I’m the one who wants to cry, so don’t whine.”

“Oh my.”

Did Duran make Karen completely infertile? The pregnancy failed even after months with Raymond. In the meantime, all the meals were like that even though I ate what Raymond made. Dulan thought he was forced to contraceptives by drugging his meals. But I thought I’d be pregnant if I stayed that long with Raymond at Tess’s mansion, but what Duran did to her body was a long time ago.

Karen twisted her hair.

If Duran has completely sterilized Karen, the answer will not come out. Raymond and Karen live in a time of perpetual repetition. Neither he nor Karen wanted it. It was not that I wanted to die right away because I became two, but it was also not enough for two. They wanted to live together, not to be permanently deposited in their own world.

But how did Raymond remember himself?

Karen fell down, shook her legs, and held her chin. There were too many riddles.

“First of all, I’m not engaged to Dulan.”

“Oh, really? Wouldn’t it be better for you to get engaged even if you break up later? I already sent you an invitation.”

“Send me that you’re putting it off again. I’m not getting engaged to him.”

“Well….”

Nancy didn’t know what to do with her perplexed face. Karen got out of bed after realizing she was a maid who couldn’t even convey Karen’s intention to break up. He had to speak directly to the lord to settle the matter.

***

“Daddy!”

Karen opened the door and shouted deliberately. It was a childish first-hand. The lord, who was sitting in the office, opened his eyes wide and stared at Karen, who came in quickly. His expression was so awkward.

“…huh. Karen. Long time no see.”

“Why haven’t you seen me in a while? We live in one house.”

“…Lord. Lady… Excuse me.”

Nancy approached the lord and spoke, looking at him. Karen looked at Nancy and put her finger on her mouth. Shh, just stay still.

“I remembered.”

“…I see.”

As the lord winked at the servants behind him, Karen raised her hand and said, Never. If you lose your memory again this time, everything you’ve built will be blown away. That’s the last straw.

“I’m fine now. My mind is very clear and stable right now.”

“…….”

People are looking. Karen smiled broadly and said again.

“I’m telling you. I’m really fine.”

It took a long time to persuade the lord.

***

“First of all, I’m not going to be engaged to Dulan.”

The lord shook his head.

“Dulan is not a bad choice. My mom and I worked hard to choose it. Considering his age and relation to his relatives, he will be the next lord. It’s also the easiest thing to marry you. Also, you don’t know how actively I helped Catherine with her plans since she was a child.”

It was a problem because I knew it too well. Therefore, it may have been sedated, given birth control pills, and possibly even made infertility. I even dropped it off the tower once. Karen felt her head ache again when she thought about it. I’ll kill you again.

“If you say you have someone you love, I’m willing to break up with them. Few young people are that understanding.”

Understanding? Karen had to try to calm down. If you lose your temper in anger here, that’s the end of it. There were always men behind Karen, and Nancy stood next to her, who eventually had to follow the order of the lord. Calm down. It’s more important not to be engaged to Duran. I didn’t want to get engaged and break up. I was sick and tired of looking at my face.

“That’s a bummer.”

Karen answered sternly.

***

The lord was in a difficult situation. What Karen asked for was in a way natural. But he had a long-planned affair with his wife. Catherine liked Dulan because he believed in her, but the lord liked Dulan for a more realistic reason.

Because he is the next lord. Duran’s succession as a lord was natural in accordance with the law of inheritance law. The lord had no children other than Karen, so a close male relative received it. When Karen married, her husband had a certain stake in the store, but the permanent residence was Dulan. And Young-joo was actually skeptical that Karen could marry another normal man.

“She’s my daughter, but… Doesn’t it hurt?’

Karen was beautiful, but she used to cry, have a fit, and she lost her memory. There was also a strong tendency to rely on drugs. The lord wanted Dulan and Karen to marry, who knew everything possible. This is because he may take care of his daughter by his side.

Most Karen-like only daughters marry their next lord and stay at home. And that was natural for the next lords like Duran to consolidate their position. It was something that helped each other somehow. But Catherine said she wanted to make Karen truly love her.

“Will you do me a favor?”

“Of course.”

Catherine had no reason to choose herself. There was no reason to do it if it wasn’t entirely love. Catherine had many prominent suitors. Everyone agreed that the king’s government was better than his uncle’s wife.

“If you respect your mother, and if you respect me, please postpone your engagement.”

Karen was adamant. The lord’s sigh deepened when his daughter brought Catherine. My daughter was right. No matter how well Karen’s engagement with Duran was in many ways, what mattered to him was Catherine’s request. It was Karen’s love.

“I won’t force your engagement.”

replied the lord. Karen didn’t seem to like Duran very much either. He was a helpful relative, not an objectively pleasing son-in-law.

“Please cancel the coming-of-age ceremony for my birthday.”

“Is that necessary? It’s important to let you know that you’re an adult. There are a lot of important relatives. And….”

Karen shook her head.

None of the people who came to his birthday was important. Karen knew as much over and over again. Karen’s birthday relatives were just related to her father. They criticized Karen’s appearance and said, “Why don’t you stay next to Duran?” They said, “What do you think?” They were just those people who did nothing to help Karen’s life. They were important relatives to the lord, not long-term helpers to Karen. For those people, Karen didn’t want to spend time. I didn’t want to do that this time.

“I don’t want to. Father, you may not believe it.”

“I believe in everything. I believe everything your mother says.”

The lord spoke urgently. As expected, Karen smiled inwardly.

“Then do you really believe everything I say?”
