I decided to just Enjoy life (2)

“There, maybe. Of course not, but…” 

‘Unbelievable’

 that’s the first thing I thought of. 

However, the situation was so strange that I had to put it out of my mouth, knowing that my strange question would be denied. 

Even so, when I opened my eyes, I was next to the man I saw for the first time,

I’m being called ‘Brelin’, a foreign name that only appears in the novel

My appearance is completely different, and above all else

I am ‘alive’, who must have died..

With a gulp, I passed my saliva.

I was chased by the gaze that looked at me as if urging me.

I opend my mouth

 “… you’re not Redros Dread Vermont, are you?”

The gap between the golden eyebrows narrowed, and a colder gaze looked at her.

 “What answer do you want to hear? Does that mean you want to erase the night with me? Or, my first night as a husband didn’t live up to your expectations?” 

“I’m just asking for your name, but why are you giving it such a meaning” 

“ Ha.. It’s amazing. What else? Are you saying that you don’t like the name Redros now?” 

I mean, that was long, but to sum it up it’s a yes.

My legs were loosened, so I couldn’t help but collapse on the carpet of the floor.

‘ Come to think of it, I also noticed a large sword tattoo in the middle of his solid body.’

 Red Ross Dread Vermont.

 A man who ascended to the title of the Duke of Vermont and married Brelin of the Aprin family, symbolized by the snake.

‘ Then, am I now Brelin, who lives her time-limited life, exerts all kinds of evil deeds in her life and dies without being loved even once?’

‘I regretted now.’

While writing this, I wanted this man to be miserable. 

After going through such a tragic event, I hoped for a relationship where he could meet the real heroine and heal all his wounds.

 So I made the villain’Brelin’.

I wanted him to be so worn out in a relationship with Brelin, so he would not be able to trust a women nor love.

 Brelin was made for that purpose, so she could be complete villain in his life.

Her love was crooked, and as a child she released her vocation by bullying Redros, who never looked at her.

However, in the end, she could not give up her dream and forced her affection. 

she used all her external means to get married to him through anti-threatening, and she was obligated to relate to him 

 “… I am Brelin.” 

She sat blankly in her chair. 

‘If I’m going to enter this body anyway, how great would it be if I came in a little earlier? Then it should have been before I married the Duke, or even before they had a relationship like this. Then, for the happiness of Redross, I would have been able to disappear without a word and go live her own life.’

“I did what you  wanted, so that’s enough.” 

A voice that seemed to shake his teeth came out coldly.

I suddenly came to my senses of thinking about something else.

Brelin looked at the duke dressed neatly.

The tunic, which was made with a thin woven fabric on a tightly muscular body, went well together.

The original Brelin was tied by her love, envy, and malice over what she couldn’t have, but now I am not very interested in him. 

His presence was interesting, but that was all.

 “Redros.” 

his freezing gaze glared at her.

“There’s one more thing I want.”

“what?” 

“Now let me go.”

“… what?” 

It was something he never thought she would say.

‘ What kind of scheme is this ?’

Redross had to stare at Brelin, whose eyes were so calm and clear like never before.

‘I can’t even figure out  what she is thinking.’

“Is that a joke?”

 “no.”

The duke swept his face several times with an expression of uncontrollable anger as if he couldn’t stand his irritation. 

When was the last time she took advantage of the duke’s circumstances to grab him by the nape and control him as she pleases? 

‘I slept with her because she said she needed to have children. But now you’re leaving? ‘

‘I don’t know what this crazy woman is thinking. Rather, until this morning, or even before going to bed, I thought I could understand, even if I couldn’t understand the greedy desire for power and the meaningless disgusting interest in myself. That’s what human greed is, and that’s what greed is. But now she is saying something that is completely unpredictable.’

“what do you mean you’re going to leave as soon as we’re married? Are you talking about the commercial district again? You’re going to threaten me?” 

I laughed bitterly.

I could understand him getting angry. 

I understood how her declaration of leaving would sound, as she married on the condition that she would write off his debts and also on the condition that she would provide supplies to his duchy. 

But that wasn’t her intention at all.

He didn’t know, but in fact no one but her knew, the original author of this novel, when this villain would leave and the reason for leaving. 

I looked at him, who was staring at me. 

Then I grabbed a handful of my own hair and braided it by hand. I probably won’t be able to get out of the set, as long as I’m Brelin, the owner of this bouncy pink hair, and the character I set for her.

I don’t know how this happened, but surely this person dies a year later. Due to a fever that cannot be cured by medicine in this era. 

I don’t know if this is reality,because it doesn’t feel real, but even the fear of death was vague.

I opened my gown slowly, organizing my thoughts.

 “It’s not like that, it’s just that the Duke hates me.” 

“… come now? Didn’t you know that in the first place? How can you like a woman who drives people like a stallion? Aren’t you the one interested in my status and position, not me? ” 

“I may have been like that until now. About that, I’m sorry if I offended you. But now I am a different person.”

 “ Another person? Ha..”

I scratched my cheek slightly. 

There’s no need to add unnecessary sounds. Let’s get straight to the point.

“After all, this marriage is something that can’t be kept happily. But that doesn’t mean I’m leaving right now. If I leave now, everything will go awry. Even the Duke who has endured marriage with me will not be able to get what he wants, and I…” 

Redross urged me to speak behind me with his eyes.

“So, just give me one year.” 

“1 year?” 

“After a year has passed, and when everything is stable, we break up.”

Then the female protagonist who is prettier than anyone else will understand you better than anyone else.. 

Not a girl like me. 

“You’re leaving me now … ?” 

I thought it would be good but an unexpectedly lukewarm response returned.

I looked up at him in bewilderment. Perhaps because my words still sound like a joke? Because you don’t feel the sincerity?

 “If you don’t believe me, you can sign a contract. I’ll leave, really. I also break up the marriage. I promise not to collect debts or aid or anything like that.” 

“… I really don’t know what you’re saying.” 

I heard Redros’s tongue click. 

It’s been less than a day since I’ve been in the room with him, but this is the first time he’s ever seen a face other than annoyed.

The energetic energy from before had subsided. 

On the contrary, there was a bit of embarrassment about what he couldn’t understand on his face.

 Actually, Redross was bewildered. Originally, it would not have been any regret if she said she would leave. Rather, it was something to welcome with open arms. How do you know what else that wicked woman, who has been scheming since childhood, will do to his family? Even that twisted interest she had was always scary, so it was usual to get goosebumps.

’But now it somehow didn’t feel that way.’

Those calm green eyes did not show a little interest in him. Not only that, but she seemed to have forgotten all of her greed for honour, and she seemed to have abandoned her ambition to make her child the successor of the duchy. 

‘As if he had suddenly given up on everything’

 He slightly became curious about her. Besides.

‘I can’t say exactly when,  but I wasn’t reluctant, and I even find her attractive. ‘

It was the first time he’d felt that way. Towards Brelin, not anyone else.

‘We only spent one night together? No, there was no way I was confident that my mind would not go back and forth so easily.’

Since sitting in the seat of the duke, who has to judge people more coldly than anyone else, he has been constantly cultivating his mind  objectivity so that he can not question his own judgment.

‘ I can’t believe that my judgment is this shaky.It’s like I’m dealing with someone else.’

He came up with a ridiculous idea and hurriedly erased it.

Then he looked at the woman with pink hair standing in front of him. A woman with fluttering pink hair that falls just above her buttocks is objectively  breathtaking. 

Despite the rumours about her, the fact that there were so many men courting her was a guarantee of her beauty.

As the morning sun shining through the window hits her head, her hair is like a piece of gold. It shone like a white crack, and her skin looked as sweet and creamy.

 “Answer, won’t you?” 

At the prompting voice, Redros finally remembered what he should answer. And he could barely take his eyes off her neck. 

Green eyes calmly waiting for an answer.

‘Are you going to leave in a year?’ 

Yes, good, Why on earth would you reject an offer that benefits you so far?

 I don’t know what thought she had with that foolish head and came to this conclusion, but it was really something to welcome.

He couldn’t shake off the uncomfortable feeling somewhere, but he can’t let emotion take over now. 

After thinking about it a few more times, he nodded. 

‘No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find any loss in the contract. I loved the condition that I had to endure a leech-like woman for only a year.’

“Good. Write a contract”

Said Duke Redros, and the “wife” in front of him smiled unexpectedly and nodded. 

The duke turned his head further away from the whispers he heard from within.
