Nouner was sarcastic with an unpleasant smile.
I smiled as brightly as possible and nodded. “I’ve been seriously thinking about it, and I think it’s much better to live alone than to see your face all my life.”
“What?! You…This!”
Nouner, whose face turned red, jumped up from his seat and raised his right hand.
Does this guy even hit people? It’s the worst. I closed my eyes thinking it was a good thing that if I got hit here, would be a reason for a proper breakup.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
It was a dark shadow that felt instead of pain.
“Rendle?”
Rendle was my brother. He was two years younger than me with ash brown hair similar to mine and bright purple eyes clearer than mine.
He attended the Knights Academy to join the Imperial Knights, so he lived in a dormitory during the semester.
But why are you here?
“Argh! Let’s talk for a second.”
I was embarrassed by the sudden appearance of my younger brother, but I came to my senses after hearing the scream of Nouner.
Nouner wriggled around to pull out his wrist from the hands of Rendle, but when he failed, he begged helplessly.
He did not say whether his pride was hurt or not, but his face revealed that he was in pain.
“No matter how much you are my sister’s fiance, please refrain from violence in our home.”
Nouner, who pretended to be strong in front of me, nodded hard like a gentle sheep in front of Rendle, which was one span or larger than himself.
As Rendle let go of his hand, he spoke quietly to make me hear and went back.
Leaving a line like a villain to ‘wait and see.’
What do you mean wait and see? I’m breaking up with you. I looked pathetically at Nouner, who was running away.
He’s like a specimen of ‘strong to weak, and weak against strong.’
Because of that personality, you probably couldn’t be engaged to a woman of a similar family to him. Since he was the second son of the Count, he couldn’t take over his family and he’s just playing around, so who would want to marry an uneasy man in the future?
You look good as a poor-package husband. It was so sarcastic. I was proud of the thought of cleaning up poop, but I heard an eerie voice behind me.
“Hah, what else did you do this time?”
Rendle hated me even though he was my little brother. A lot.
In other novels, siblings get along with each other, but in reality, that’s not true. I understand that Ren doesn’t like me.
I’m not helping our family, also I’m not good to our parents, I’m just being extravagant.
In addition, I had a feeling of inferior to my younger brother.
Even though we have the same genes, Rendle has a better head and good looks.
No one likes me, but it was annoying for the noble young girls who approached me to secretly ask about Rendle.
So I treated my younger brother even more stiffly.
‘I’ll reflect on myself.’
If it had gone according to the original, I would have been buried in society and my notoriety would have affected Ren.
In particular, most of the knights admired the Duke, who was the Swordmaster, but Rendle’s label as ‘stalker brother’ could not easily change.
‘I wonder if Ren’s paid off all my debts?’
If I haven’t found the memories of my previous life, I was just a vain and incapable person.
I didn’t think I would have to work when I grew up. If I had known the truth, I wouldn’t have done such things.
When I thought about it again, I was so sorry for Rendle. It hadn’t happened yet, but Rendle was my biggest victim of cheap shit.
With all the burdens I’d have to do better from now on, I said friendly to Rendle.
“Nothing happened. But what about the Academy?”
“…What good could I expect from my sister.”
But it wasn’t the answer that came back, it was the self-talk that broke me.
With a frowning eyebrow, he looked at me for a moment, in the same way, I looked at Nouner, the Rendle sighed and went upstairs.
‘Why are you looking at me like that? Tell me the reason at least.’
I returned to my room with pouting lips I tried to understand his position by reflecting on what I had done wrong to Ren.
Since I’ve been inferior to him for almost 10 years, if I act friendly now, Rendle would probably wonder what I ate wrong.
We have a lot of time, so I would show you how I changed slowly, and know later.
I put off improving my relationship with Ren and calmly organized my thoughts in a quiet room.
About the original. ‘Recognizing that she came back in the past, Radiata tries to escape the family first in order not to make the same mistakes.’
However, she knew that if she went out without a plan, Radiata would soon return as a Count.
It was because the date to be sold to the old rich man had already been set, and the Count intensified Radiata’s surveillance.
She chews her nails and rolls her head hard in a locked room. To find a place where the Count’s power could not reach and where no one was interested in her, but she could live safely.
After struggling for a whole day, Radiata suddenly thinks of a possibility.
Before her return, if the rumors of the Duke Kolnuta that swept the social world were real, she could help him.
Two years from now, a disaster suddenly occurs one day without a warning.
The magnificent name ‘God’s Wrath‘ was prevented by the Duke, but everyone who saw his ability said in unison.
Maybe God’s anger was because of the Duke.
‘In fact, it’s a power given by God.’
The main activity of the old rich merchant was in the north, so Radiata knew in detail about the rumors. And she was aware that the Duke was trying to hide the rumors.
‘I also thought that a Duke who hates women and one who hates men would fit quite well.’
Thinking of the method of contract marriage, she had to attend a party. The only opportunity to meet the Duke was New Year’s Day.
‘Radiata must be making holy water by now.’
She had a special ability as the heroine. It was Divine power!
In the latter part of the story, the divine power increased to the extent that she was called a saint, but in the beginning, she used it as a means to treat the male lead or go to a party.
She was not invited to the party because she was an illegitimate child.
To meet the Duke, she has to attend the New Year’s party, but there are no dresses and no invitations.
However, Radiata was not frustrated.
Because if you give up here, you’ll have a terrible future ahead of you.
So, even though she returned on the first day of the New Year’s meeting, Radiata was only able to attend on the last day.
It took time to earn money to buy dresses and get an invitation.
‘Here comes the sub-male lead called the King of the Black World.’
Nepenthes. He was like Deus Ex Machina in the novel.
A role that fills the lack of probability of a novel. It was all thanks to him that Radiata, an illegitimate child, was able to attend the New Year’s party.
Nepenthes helped her just because he found her behavior funny.
He often acted like a madman but was popular with readers because of his unique languid and decadent atmosphere.
I was one of them. Anyway, the male lead was set as a Duke, but I had a subsidiary, so I invested in the king of the black world.
I knew it wouldn’t go up, but I liked the occasional drop of rice cakes.
(T/N: 그림의 떡/Rice cakes Korean Proverb-Something you desire, but can’t have or afford.)
‘But I could only find it attractive when it’s a novel, but I don’t want to get involved.’
In any case, Radiata, who lived as a mistress of an old rich merchant before she returned, knew that money could solve most of them, so she made holy water and sold it on the black market.
Originally, it was illegal to make holy water outside the temple. But on the black market, it was in demand and could be sold.
Holy water was very expensive, so Nepenthes became interested in meeting with Radiata in person.
In exchange for giving him holy water whenever he wants, he would give Radiata a New Year’s invitation and a dress.
‘In a way, it’s Cinderella’s wizard.’
She offered a contract marriage to the Duke of Kolnuta at the New Year’s party where she attended, saying,
‘I would keep the duke’s powers a secret, so please marry me and keep me safe for one year.’
But the Duke didn’t raise an eyebrow and dismiss what she said as nonsense.
Then the Duke orders his men to investigate Radiata and that’s when I’m going to appear as he leaves the party.
‘Crazy stalker…’
After following him around like a leech, I overheard the conversation between Radiata and the Duke and cling to him to marry him if he is going to marry such an illegitimate child.
In the middle of the party. While I was already sensitive because I was caught in the secret, I said, “I’m confident in loving the Duke even if you have such weakness!” and the Duke’s anger explodes.
He reveals every detail of my stalking activities and declares that he would marry Radiata.
Perhaps it was covered with a marriage scandal so that other nobles would not be interested in the Duke’s weakness.
The Duke, who revealed me as a stalker, drove me paranoid, and that day I was buried in the social world.
‘I’m not going to the party, so it’s gonna be okay. Now I should think more about how I’m going to clean up my cheap shit.’
I won’t appear after the introduction, so I could just avoid that scene and my doom flag would disappear.
However, it was still early to be relieved. Avoiding the flow of the original didn’t mean that the shit I wrapped up would disappear.
There are various kinds of poop that I have to wrap up, but the poop of a fiance was roughly handled, and the biggest poop was the debt!
I had 30 golds on my plate before, and I’ve got three different dresses for this New Year’s party…
A total of 115 gold! The monthly salary of Ronnie, a maid who works for Count Syringa, was 30 silver.
It was enough money for a family of four commoners to live for a month.
100 silver was 1 gold, so a total of 11,500 silver. When I worked as a maid for about 384 months, I could pay back all of it.
Oh, my God. Why did I even do that? My previous self, Mayerie of last month! Even though you say you have no sense of handling money, wasn’t that too much?
