The Villain Changed the Ending

151 Chicken instead of pheasant

***[Heroine Oscar]***

“I’m sorry, Mr. Oscar. I was so happy to see you after a long time, so I looked ugly.”

When the crying stopped, Katrin seemed to realize her reality.

You probably know how messed up it is.

He twisted his head slightly so that he could not see his face.

But still holding on to the hem of my dress.

It seemed to be holding him so that he could not escape.

After a while, Catherine’s hand on the other side seemed to move flutteringly, and Anne came running.

Anne’s eyes widened.

“…wow… the lady’s face… is horrible… if you do this, even a hundred years of love will run away…”

As Anne muttered in a low whisper, Catherine stomped her feet.

“… Do something… At least with a face I can see…”

As the two whispered, Pooh ran over and thrust his face between Katrin and Anne.

He might have thought that Anne was playing something interesting when he saw her running.

“Whoa! Don’t push!”

Anne shouted as she was pushed back, but Ppou didn’t care.

Pooh suddenly tilted his head and looked at Katrin’s face.

It looks strange.

“Puuu?”

He tilted his head and began licking Catherine’s face with his large tongue.

Catherine’s body moved up and down as her tongue licked her face from bottom to top.

“…”

Maybe he thought Katrin’s face was dirty.

so i have to clean it

Perhaps he felt that he had to protect Katrin and keep her clean, just as a mother would take care of her young.

“S-Stop it! The lady’s face is covered in saliva!”

Anne shouted and tried to pull Pooh away, but she didn’t budge even when she pulled her face with both hands.

Katrin was holding onto my clothes as Catherine did, so I couldn’t escape and only avoided the faces of my mother and grandmother.

But each time, Pooh pulled his face as if he was adsorbing it with his tongue.

can’t escape

Katrin kept her eyes and mouth shut and swayed as Pooh did.

‘Is it like a rhinoceros or a witch, it has a very long tongue.’

I was caught by Katrin’s clothes and smiled lightly without going far.

I’m sorry, but I think I’m dying of laughter.

Benno, the escort captain, and the soldiers who were standing in the distance were laughing impatiently.

My heart, which had been depressed until I met Catherine, also brightened.

If this was the case, wouldn’t the dinner with his father end with the appearance of Catherine?

My mother seems to have said it was because of Catherine, but there may have been a consideration for me hidden inside.

I don’t know if that’s why I sent Katrin to make my heart lighter when I met my father.

After waiting for Anne to wipe Catherine’s face and put on makeup, we set off for the mansion where her father is waiting.

*

The duke’s villa was a beautiful place, as they had heard.

By the time the sun disappeared from the sky, it was already dark all around, but the gardens where the wagons passed were illuminated by torches along the way.

There was a pond near the mansion.

As the soft light of torches illuminated the surface, fish bounced off the surface, occasionally popping up.

Seeing Pooh run there, some soldiers chase after him.

Maybe today is the day of the fish ordeal.

At least a few hours will be hard on Pooh’s pranks.

Watching Pooh play in the pond, the carriage continued to roll until it arrived at the mansion.

“…”

My father was there to meet me at the entrance.

In the back stood the manager of the mansion, Bianca, and Dennis.

‘It’s a big deal.’

To be honest, I was very surprised.

My father thought we would only see him after entering the mansion.

I’ll see you when I get dressed and head to the dinner table.

However, the fact that he came out in advance in time for my arrival would make the ghost wail.

Besides, Bianca and Dennis were behind him, not next to him.

He was in a position similar to that of the butler.

It’s a bit ahead of the butler, but it’s a subtle position that shows that you’re not in a position to command them.

It shows me that you don’t treat Bianca and Dennis as wife and son.

Of course, it was very different from the usual situation at the time of putting the lover and the child in front of the visitor, but it was still unimaginable from the father’s behavior so far.

Could it be that Bianca has softened up after knowing the truth?

At that thought, I glanced at Bianca’s face, and she was biting her lip a little.

It seems that you are forcibly hiding something dissatisfying.

Dennis next to me didn’t even try to hide his displeasure.

Staring at me with ferocious eyes.

‘It looks like he’s keeping his promise to me.’

Looking at it now, the father did not tell either of them that he knew the truth.

It wouldn’t have been easy to make Bianca and Dennis compliant in such a state.

Fighting, yelling, and probably arguing quite a bit.

My father’s emaciated face was probably like that.

Even though I was the culprit, I felt a little bit sorry for my father.

But I have no intention of releasing it.

I look away from Bianca and my father smiles slightly nervously.

“Welcome, Oscar. Thanks for coming.”

“It’s been a while, Dad. Have you been okay?”

He seemed relieved when I was greeted normally.

The father’s expression softened slightly.

“Yes, yes, I’m fine. I heard you officially got a wife.”

My father looks at Katrin, who is standing next to me.

There was a little moisture in his father’s eyes when he saw Catherine.

weird.

It was so different from the father I had seen before that I couldn’t adapt.

Hiding my embarrassment, I introduced Catherine to my father.

“Father, this is my wife Catherine.”

Catherine, who was in perfect shape again thanks to Anne, lowered her body a little.

“Nice to meet you, father. My name is Catherine.”

“Yes. A beautiful bride.”

The father paused, sniffed, and turned away.

“Let’s go inside. Dinner is ready, so let’s talk then.”

I don’t have anything to talk about with my father.

I muttered to myself and let out a sigh without anyone noticing.

There was no introduction to Bianca and Dennis.

I don’t know if Catherine is trying to keep the courtesy of the aristocracy in her own way because she came from a marquess rather than a duke, or if it’s because her relationship with Bianca is straining.

If it were the former, Bianca and Dennis shouldn’t be here.

‘But it’s difficult not having the hostess at the dinner, so I guess they came together.’

If you’re like a father, would you say you’re like a father?

Somehow the situation is ambiguous.

As I escorted Katrin after my father, I took another small breath.

I really don’t know what my father is asking for.

***[Dennis, son of Bianca]***

Originally, the duchy was meant to be his.

Ever since he was born, his mother had been telling him that, and he had been told as a child that his father thought so too.

He stroked his hair and said that since you are my son, you deserve it too.

Even if others point fingers at you as your lover’s child, you were undoubtedly my real son, laughing.

My father’s eyes and voice when he said that were very soft and kind, so I thought that if it was what my father wanted, I would also like to do it myself.

Because he is a real son, he wants to follow in his father’s footsteps.

I want the position of duke because my father wants it.

He hoped to please his father by becoming a proud duke.

Even as a child, I thought that my mother was just a greedy person and that she was saying that for herself rather than her son, but my father is different.

I knew it was different.

He knew that he really loved him and said it for him.

Those kind eyes and words of his father were never forgotten even after Dennis grew up.

It remained in a corner of my memory.

Now that he knows a little about aristocratic society, he knows that what his mother whispered was unrealistic.

Father’s words were probably unlikely.

But because of that, I was able to know that my father was sincere.

My father must have known that it was no good, but he still thought so.

He really wanted to pass the dukedom on to himself.

So, Dennis continued his own efforts.

I can’t become a duke, but I want to be a son my father is proud of.

As if knowing his own heart, even after Oscar drove his father away and usurped the duke’s place, his father was still a gentle and good father to him.

All along he was receiving a love that Oscar had never received.

But recently something has changed.

My father didn’t make eye contact.

don’t look at him right

When he tried to talk to his father, the conversation didn’t work out.

It ended with only necessary words.

It seems that the father’s love is suddenly scattered into thin air.

‘My relationship with my mother has also become strange.’

I’ve had fights with my mother a few times so far, but my father has always been on the losing side.

But now there have been times when she yells at her mother or even throws things on the floor, saying she won’t let it go any longer.

I’ve seen my mother do that a few times, but my father never did.

‘It’s been since I went back to my parents’ house.’

My father became strange after he returned to his hometown.

Ever since I met Oscar.

What the hell did Oscar do to his father?

Why did my father change so strangely?

It seems that he even keeps sending letters saying he wants to meet Oscar.

“…”

Oscar did something.

Until now, I had only doubts, but today I am convinced by the way my father treats Oscar.

He kept coveting my father’s love, what did this guy do to my father!

Furious, Dennis clenched his fists.

‘It was the only thing left for me.’

The Duke’s throne, which he firmly believed to be his when he was young, was no longer his.

A large mansion, countless servants, money, and all of that is out of reach.

The birth of Oscar, and the fact that he had pushed his father off the throne, flowed like water through his fingers.

All gone.

All he has left is to be locked in a house with his parents who fight every day.

The only good thing there was father’s love.

But is that even stolen?

In addition to that, Oscar has a beautiful wife.

‘I’ve never seen such a beautiful woman.’

My mother is pretty too.

My father’s first wife, whom I saw as a child, was also a beautiful woman.

But Oscar’s wife escapes such beauty.

I looked at him several times to see if he was really human.

‘If Oscar hadn’t been born, that woman would have been mine.’

Marriage between families is like that.

As long as they are blood relatives of the family, the intention of the person involved does not matter, and it is okay if the person changes.

The blood and location of the person being married are important.

Dennis bit his lip as he escorted his mother and followed Oscar and his wife.

“…”

And it was just before going to the banquet hall.

Before sitting down, he stood at the entrance for a while and waited for the guide, and a woman passed in front of him.

“Madam, excuse me for a moment.”

She was probably the Duchess’s maid.

I must have smeared something on Catherine’s hair, so I went over to her and rubbed her hair lightly with a handkerchief.

It seems that he touched his face subtly, but he was a bit far away and couldn’t see it well.

“Sorry, ma’am. It’s dusty.”

I could hear the two of them talking in whispers.

The words puwoo and spit also seem to be mixed up a bit, but I’m sure I’ve heard them wrong.

Dennis glanced at the two, careful not to notice.

Although not as good as Catherine, the lady-in-waiting was also quite beautiful.

If it’s the duchess, he can’t reach it, but if it’s a lady-in-waiting, it’s a little different.

Although this is my lover’s child, he is a blood relative of the duke’s family.

If that woman was a daughter of a duke’s vassal, there was a possibility.

It wouldn’t be unreasonable for her to get married if her father put in a little effort.

To this day, my father was still looking out for him.

However, it was not the nobility, but mainly the wealthy merchants.

Deep down, Dennis wanted to become an aristocrat, even in the form of becoming a son-in-law of a lower noble family, but his father seemed to have a different idea.

There was a time when I said no to such a family, saying that they were so poor that they only struggled.

However, if he marries the lady-in-waiting of the duchess, there is a high possibility that he will find a place to work in the duke’s family.

If you can’t be a noble, and the merchant doesn’t come with a good answer, that can be an alternative.

It’s not like there’s no possibility at all.

Since there was no good response from the shopping district anyway, they might welcome it as a good idea.

But I only had time for today.

‘I really hate the Oscars.’

It would be difficult to ask if it wasn’t now that Oscar is here.

As Dennis saw his father standing next to Oscar, he began to think of how he could bring this up to him during dinner.
