The Resetting Lady

[197]

Raymond had a serious face.

“I will make sure that Louis charges are never entangled.”

“It’s impossible not to get tangled.”

“It’s possible.”

“Stop it. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”

Raymond seemed to want to say more, but he soon shut up.

Karen knew she could really do it if he did. Didn’t you just get tempted by the temptation that hitting Gwiz’s neck with an ax would be the fastest? Murder is the easiest.

Even if you’re a prince, you’re a human being. Raymond will really be able to visit the prince and cut his breath.

“Yeah, stop it, Lord Raymond. You have to think about the back.”

In the end, death is all.

That way, in the end, you don’t think about it. Like he was taken to the death penalty. Karen knew that Raymond was so often over-looking on the one-goal side. Because Raymond lived that long.

Since I’ve seen Lewis die by Gwiz a hundred times so far, it’s become dull. They become dull about murder and the situation afterwards. Death moved away from life and the sense of reality disappeared.

“What would be the position of King Louis?”

“But that’s still the best way.”

Raymond was tough.

“There may be opposition and suspicion, but that doesn’t change the way the best way is to attack. And as time goes by, such rumors will actually help you.”

“Lord Raymond!”

Lewis’ face has hardened.

“Don’t you see what it means to attack someone who hasn’t done anything yet, my father, the crown prince of this country first?”

Raymond shut his mouth. A man with only one life and a man who has already repeated it hundreds of times could not have the same position. Lewis had to be that careful. But the prudence killed Lewis.

“I need a justification. I can’t beat him without any evidence.”

Louis needed that much process to get to the throne justly.

Raymond and Karen thought it would be helpful for him to kill Gwiz rather than to find a justification, but it wasn’t for those living a single life. Everyone around Lewis sighed and fell into agony.

I know the enemy. I know why.

But there’s nothing I can do.

There is no justification.

Silence reigned. In fact, there seemed to be no other way out of this meeting. Lewis rejected Raymond’s plan, so there was one thing left.

“I guess we have to wait now after all.”

Karen said.

“Your Highness told me that he would give me orders sooner or later. Don’t you think you’ll have a chance at that moment?”

“Your Highness, it’s dangerous. It’s not wise to wait knowing you’re going to be attacked.”

Raymond immediately refuted.

He wanted to save Lewis, but he didn’t want Karen to continue to be in danger by Prince Gwiz. If you weigh the two, of course it was Karen.

However, Raymond had already taken Louis lightly several times. Raymond’s face grew stiff. Karen cut off Raymond.

“I’m fine.”

“…I’m sorry for Miss Haier. Thank you for your courage.”

“Your Grace!”

“Stop it, Lord Raymond.”

Karen woke up.

“There’s not much time left, Your Highness. Your Highness is not very patient, so you’ll be moving soon. Please take care of yourself in the meantime.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Karen had no reason to be thanked by him.

But Raymond didn’t understand and told Lewis.

“Your Grace, just waiting is the way to get nothing after all. Even if a towel covers your face incorrectly while sleeping, if you fall while riding a horse, or if your meal is blocked by your throat, you die. If you are as young as your majesty, you are even more so. How long are you going to wait sitting still?”

“I know.”

“One or two days is fine. It’s a relief that you end up being nervous all year round. You can do that if it’s over just because you’re an adult. But Your Highness, Your Grace, will not give up until she gets what she wants.”

“But now I have to wait.”

“Until he dies?”

“Lamond!”

Bang!

Karen, who couldn’t stand it, slammed the table first.

“Don’t be so hard on me! There’s something you shouldn’t say even if you get emotional!”

“Sir Raymond, please apologize to His Majesty.”

“I’m sorry to scare you, Your Highness. But I don’t think it’s going to change.”

“Lord Raymond!”

Karen even wanted to drug Raymond.

Won’t you wake up once you’re dead?

“Calm down and think.”

“Carran.”

“Don’t just say it like that, but think that there’s no proper evidence except for my testimony now. And you know that if Lord Raymond gets caught, he will fly to the neck of Prince Louis.”

“Miss Karen Haier!”

shouted the captain of the guard.

Karen was also very embarrassed that she was so furious that her words came out rough. He was doing the same thing just now for blaming Raymond.

“…I’m sorry.”

As Karen lowered her head with a red face, Lewis sighed and raised her hand.

“We don’t have much time, so let’s stop unnecessary attrition.”

“Yes.”

Lewis grabbed the teapot with his hand. Karen got up in a hurry, but Lewis waved her hand to refuse Karen’s action and poured the car with his own. Then I added more sugar than before. He frowned on his forehead as he took the sticky-looking tea to his mouth because of the sugar. Louis had two more cups in succession before he opened his mouth.

“…if I say, I don’t intend to be king, will my father leave me alone?”

“…….”

Silence reigned. Lewis said with a bitter smile.

“I’m sorry, you’re being immature.”

“You’re still old enough.”

But I don’t deny the fact that I’m immature. Louis nodded his head. Prince Gwiz could not stop killing Lewis, nor could Louis ask for his life because he was not greedy for the throne.

So far, he has been under the protection of a thorough grandfather and the current king, but it is not known until when the old man who lies down and lives today and tomorrow can protect him.

There are duties and responsibilities given from birth. There are unavoidable things. But Lewis sometimes wanted to give it all up. It was suffocating to think that there was someone’s expectation and intention, from his birth to breathing day by day.

I didn’t want a free life. However, I wanted to be guaranteed at least the minimum safety. I wanted a daily routine that my close aristocrats didn’t taste first to make sure that they didn’t suddenly disappear one day, that their dog wouldn’t die, and that every meal was poisoned.

“It won’t end until my father dies….”

Lewis frowned as she tasted the bitter sweet tea.

After much consideration, Lewis made a decision.

“I want to talk to you all together. I want to bring him down in front of more people.”

Prince Louis wanted a public debate.

***

“Tell them no.”

“Your Grace.”

“Lord Raymond, you should have stopped that kind of noise on your own. How did you make him do it?”

The Marquis looked at Raymond with a stunning face.

“Do you know how ridiculous it is to… disclose the royal disgrace? You’re going to make public the murder in the palace, not anywhere else? And for a lot of people? Tell him not to talk nonsense.”

The Marquis of Pancair was of royal origin and was very sensitive to the revelation of your disgrace.

“Louis charge is dangerous.”

“So we have as safe a person as possible around your Highness. Your Highness is not stupid. And to make such a scandal open to the public, it would be someone to King Louis after he does it. And how do you believe that in the first place? Where the hell are you from?”

“She’s my lover.”

The Marquis had to try not to look too explicit.

“Who’s your lover?”

“I’m Karen Haier, your government. She was dragged into the basement and out, and I heard about Prince Gwiz’s plan.”

“…if it’s Karen Haier….”

“Yes, this is Catherine Nora Enid’s daughter.”

The Marquis sighed.

“I’ve been busy with my work for a while, so I’ve stopped working in society, and I’ve been… I see. She took her daughter as government. I see why people were whispering like that much. I thought it was just a little government….”

The Marquis of Pancair recalled rumors that he had ignored. The story was that Prince Gwizu would let a woman who has not yet been married into the government to stay at the palace.

That alone was very immoral, but the Marquis decided not to pay attention because Gwiz was not the type to refrain from paying attention to such rumors. The government is the government after all. I thought it would be the same whims as usual.

“It’s the poison your Highness gave her. He told me to feed King Louis.”

Raymond took the medicine bottle out of his arms and handed it over to the Marquis of Pancake. The Marquis of Pancair lifted a small medicine bottle and looked at it. Transparent and seemingly no different from water.

“Is that all?”

“The rest are owned by the lieutenant general. I sent it to your doctor to check for toxicity.”

“What are the results?”

“A calf-like fighting dog fell right down with a drop of medicine.”

“…….”

The Marquis of Pancair sighed continuously while looking at the medicine given by Raymond. It’s not just a joke. There is no grace period now. One day, when each other is looking at each other, the time has already passed.

“First of all, I’m going to move her to my mansion soon.”

“Are you at home?”

“No, my land is a change, so it’s dangerous, and I’d better take you to a summer retreat in the north. What’s wrong with you?”

Raymond’s expression was not clear.

“Louis wants a public debate. Your Highness Lewis should appear before the nobles himself.”

“It doesn’t sound like a bat.”

The Marquis dismissed.

“How old do you think he is? And if Prince Louis takes over Prince Gwiz, he will be 12 years old. Being crowned at such a young age was only in the days of the founding of the country. Who is loyal to the king of his grandchildren?”

“Wait a few years and you’ll definitely be a lord.”

“Where does Seong-gun become an individual’s excellence?”

The Marquis laughed in vain.

“Anyway, you’ll have to be regent for a while after you ascend. Then inevitably I’ll be around for a few years. Then it’s better for me to take on the troublesome task. I’m going to leave the royal family anyway, so I don’t have any pressure.”

“The Marquis.”

“Nevertheless, Prince Gwiz is King Louis’ father. We have to reduce the number of attacks on King Louis as much as possible.”

“…but.”

“I carry the dishonor.”

The Marquis was determined.

But he will fail.

“Guys killed Lewis.”

He was afraid of the changes that the new numbers would bring because he was a deep conservative. He has always seen the resistance of the aristocrats up close, and his estate has always been near the border, which must be extremely conservative and governed by principle.

He had always failed to save Lewis.

“I would like to respect your decision.”

“So do you think it’s right to give that much weight to a 12-year-old? Are you going to make me hear that you’re the son who brought him down?”

“That’s also up to King Louis.

“That’s too cruel. I didn’t expect you to say that.”

Raymond shut his mouth.

What he opposes is that he knows the future that will eventually come. This argument can be made because he knows the repeated death of Prince Louis.

How can I persuade Marquis? Now the Marquis is not arguing for his own greed. He says that in affection for the crown prince to be safer.

There is only one answer.

“Okay.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Pay special attention to the personal protection of King Louis for a week. I’m going to take him away from me and think about it.”

I’ll ignore the Marquis’ words and proceed.

Raymond decided. A week is enough.
