The Villain Changed the Ending chapter 120

120 doubts and guesses

***[Heroine Oscar]***

When the story of the goddess came out, only one butler remained indoors while the other servants went outside.

Those who directly serve me are trustworthy.

Occasionally, newcomers served me, but they were those who had passed the grade in terms of family origin and loyalty.

So it’s okay if the story comes out to some extent.

There is no fear of the story leaking out.

However, when it comes to the word of God, it is better to be cautious and limit the number of people who know it to a minimum.

That’s probably why the butler sent the attendants out.

The attendants seemed to be standing outside the door, blocking people from coming in and out until the priest’s story was over.

The butler quietly lowered his head, as if telling the story to continue.

“…”

Instead of speaking, I looked at the table.

On the table, there is a large plate made by coating the surface with mana stones.

It is a heating plate that is used by placing a bowl on it so that the food does not cool down.

Do you want to grow to the size of an ant’s eyes? It contained a small amount of trash mana stones, and was planned to be released as a product after using it for about a year.

White steam rises from the food on the plate and spreads to the side again.

I stared at it for a while.

The smoke rises, spreads, and disappears.

The surprised and confused mind gradually dissipated like the smoke and became calm.

While I was gathering my mind, the priestess glanced at my hair several times.

However, it seems that strange letters do not come to mind anymore.

No matter how much God said it, he said something stern to a high-ranking aristocrat.

He let out an occasional breath, as if relieved that he didn’t have to say that anymore.

But at the same time, there seems to be a sense of regret.

He kept looking at my head.

Even if the contents of the prophecy are bizarre, it may be a pleasure for the priest to listen to the word of the god itself.

“The word of the goddess is really difficult to understand.

I was so lucky to see the priest.

“What do you mean by what you said earlier? When you say affair, do you mean to be careful of your own affair?”

The priest’s shrugged shoulders narrowed even more.

He lowered his gaze with a puzzled face and spoke softly.

“That’s it. I don’t quite understand it either. All I know is that the affair wasn’t caused by the Duke’s actions. That… I don’t think he’s doing anything like that.”

“…”

“Please don’t be angry. I’m not necessarily referring to the Duchess. Ugh… No, I don’t really mean it that way. It’s not like that. Besides, these aren’t my words, I’m just following the word the goddess gave me. It just moved.”

Sweat broke out on the high priest’s broad forehead.

“Really… I don’t even know what I’m talking about. Goddess’ words are really vague. Sometimes you only understand the true meaning after a long time. I’ve never been wrong. Goddess only tells what will actually happen.”

“…”

When I didn’t say anything, the priest continued to speak while sweating profusely.

“Th… thinking of myself, I don’t want to say such a thing to the duke. But even if I risk my life, I must say this… the goddess strongly shows me. I’m really… sorry. , Duke.”

The head priest was really embarrassed, but I know what the goddess meant.

The last image I saw of Renée came into my mind.

‘Because my wife… she’s here.’

But maybe it’s not just Renée.

The fact that she and I came here means that Gyeong-wan may have been born in this world.

Because adultery doesn’t happen with just one person.

I suddenly thought that Catherine might be like that, just like my wife was taken away, but I soon denied that possibility.

It could never be like Catherine.

‘She loves a man other than me…’

Yeah, that can’t happen.

There was enough trust to deny it right away.

However, when I thought that the bad fate of my previous life continued to this point, my heart naturally darkened.

I let out a small sigh.

“Suck!”

The head priest shuddered in surprise at my sigh.

He seems bold when he sees him rip-off the amulet, but he is surprisingly timid.

“I’m going to listen to the conversation in this place. I’m going to have a good time with anything that comes out.”

At my words, the priest’s shoulders drained of strength.

“Thank you, Duke. Actually, when I deliver the words of the goddess, I look at the timing and act appropriately. But right now, I don’t have the slightest delay… I’m telling you to tell it right away.”

“Is that imminent danger looming?”

When I asked, the high priest tilted his head.

“I don’t know. But from the feel, it won’t be like the misfortune that will happen tomorrow or ten days from now. But it’s very important.”

The priest looked at me quietly and muttered abruptly.

“Besides, even if it’s not the words of the goddess, I also feel that I have to do something for the duke. I get nervous and nervous when I see the duke.

After saying that, the priest muttered after being lost in thought for a while.

“… this time for sure.”

After saying that, the priest’s eyes widened as if he was surprised by what he had said.

After repeating his words several times, the priest looked at me with a serious face.

“I heard you want to make a talisman. Can you tell me why you thought so?”

“There’s no particular reason I can see. But…”

I remembered the face of fortune teller Igor.

That strange skin that was like tree bark, and a voice that scratched the brain.

I just remembered it, but the discomfort at the time covers my whole body.

Goosebumps appeared on the skin.

“I met a strange fortuneteller. He was Igor.”

While I explained that the person’s voice was very uncomfortable, the priest listened to me with a serious expression.

It was the same when Catherine said she had a dream in which she felt trapped.

“But I’ve never had such a dream since wearing the temple-made amulet.”

It was when he said that that the priest’s face changed.

There was power in the priest’s eyes.

He declared with a confident face.

“It’s a curse. That’s for sure.”

“…”

The mysterious feeling and seriousness of the moment before had all collapsed like a sand castle.

If I had heard the strangeness I felt in Igor’s voice and said what I just said, I might have believed something.

At least, I think I would have believed it even if I said that when Katrin didn’t wake up or seemed to be trapped.

However, if you react so strongly to the statement that you didn’t have nightmares because you had a talisman, you won’t believe it even if you want to believe it.

‘Is this person really a prophecy?’

I came to believe the word affair because it suited my situation, but when I think about it again, it is similar to a prophecy of this world that is somewhat vague.

If you put it on your nose, it’s a nose ring, and if you put it on your ears, it’s an earring.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that way.

‘Haven’t I pretended to be serious and pretended to be a prophecy so far simply to sell the talisman?’

When I looked at the priest with such doubts, it seemed that he too noticed the thoughts in my gaze.

I waved my hand in bewilderment.

“No. I didn’t lie. It’s just that I was convinced because my talisman had the greatest effect on curses. I had already thought so before, and I knew for sure from that point.”

Well, once I doubted it, I couldn’t believe it.

But without revealing that thought, I smiled.

“I know. It’s not that I doubt the priest. How can I doubt the messenger of God?”

“It’s true, Duke.”

The priest said with an awkward expression.

Anyway, the talismans this guy makes really work.

I was sure of that too, so after requesting Catherine’s amulet from the priest, I started eating a little late.

Speaking of priests, there was something of an elegant image, but that didn’t exist for the priest.

He devoured the food with tremendous force, probably thinking that if he missed this moment, he would never be able to eat delicious food.

The swelling of the stomach can be seen even through the clergyman’s uniform.

In a way, he looks greedy, but for some reason, he doesn’t hate it.

Looking at him with a bitter smile, the priest wiped his lips and spoke.

“Don’t worry, Duke. I’ll create the masterpiece of my life. I’ll create an amulet that can block any curse in the world.”

*

However, at dawn the day after saying that, Benno came to the room with the amulet.

“Master, the priest’s talisman is complete.”

On the tray he was holding, there were papers with today’s itinerary and the names of the visitors written on them, and a small silk pouch.

It is still dark everywhere.

I had just gotten out of bed, still in my thick gown.

It was around three o’clock when I parted with the priest yesterday, so it took less than a day to make the amulet.

“You promised to make a masterpiece of a lifetime, but isn’t it too soon?”

Benno smiled at my words.

But really isn’t it?

Speaking of masterpieces of a lifetime, shouldn’t it take at least a week at the shortest, and a year at most?

Seeing my expression move upside down, Benno laughs as if he’s a little relieved.

The words of the goddess spoken by the priest yesterday must have been conveyed to Benno through the butler.

‘You must know that my expression was very dark at that time.’

It must have been something I was worried about.

Still, the reason she didn’t say anything to me was because those were the words of the goddess.

God’s word comes down to that person.

I would have thought that if it would be okay for others to interfere, I would say it myself.

However, no matter how Benno was, he couldn’t confide in his previous life.

Without that, I couldn’t properly convey the goddess’ words, so I couldn’t say anything to Benno.

‘Although the fact that I couldn’t believe the priest’s words played a part.’

I don’t trust him for some reason because of his light behavior.

However, thanks to his words, I was able to change my mind about Gyeong-wan.

For some reason, I never thought he would be born in this world.

Maybe it was when I thought I was the only one reincarnated, but seeing my ex-wife come, I can guess the possibility that Kyung-wan is there.

But until I heard the priest’s words, I didn’t think of that at all.

I think someone was covering my head.

It felt like only the part where Gyeongwan might have come was painted in black ink.

Shin Gwangjang seems to have kicked it off.

‘If you think so, it might have been the words of a real goddess.’

If Gyeongwan was born in this world, the most likely would be Crown Prince Robert.

My ex-wife is Renee, because if I was born as the villain Oscar, the only thing left is Robert the protagonist.

But while Renee and I are the same age, Robert is older than me.

If they died together, it would have been the same age, but it bothered me that they were different.

‘Does the time of this world and the earth have anything to do with it?’

Maybe so, but nothing is certain.

I let out a small sigh.

I think I’m preventing Oscar’s death to some extent, but when this new problem comes out, my head gets confused.

‘Where does the end of this novel lead to?’

As I muttered inwardly, Benno pulled out an amulet from his silk pouch.

“two?”

“Yes, the master’s and the wife’s.”

“Did you order mine too?”

Benno smiled bitterly at my question.

“No. I thought about that, but first I ordered only one for my wife’s because I was in a hurry. I thought I would add various conditions to the master’s depending on the situation.”

However, the priest said that he made it on his own.

I said I don’t take money for my amulet, but there’s no way I’m good at it because it’s free.

Benno smiled bitterly, saying that he had paid three times the amount he had initially said.

“Isn’t this similar to self-harm blackmail?”

As I speak, Benno lowers his head a little and smiles.

I guess my words were interesting.

When I opened the talisman with a somewhat unrefreshed mind, grainy letters caught my eye.

The text is too small to just read.

It felt like seeing ant snots lined up.

“How the hell did the priest write this down?”

“It is said that amulets are made with the power of gods. The smaller the letters, the more the power of the gods.

“…”

I glanced at the letters written on the amulet.

Was the word of the goddess true?

Could Kyungwan really come to this world?

Reminds me of the old days again.

The image of him and his former wife kept coming back to my mind, even if I tried not to think about it.

My heart felt tight.

“Benno, are there guards around Prince Robert?”

“One of the attendants is lined up. There are several others, but only one sees the Crown Prince up close.”

“Is anything strange going on around the crown prince?”

“Recently, he says he’s been having nightmares. He’s hushed up, but I heard that it’s quite serious. Even after asking the member of the Legislature or calling the priest, he said he couldn’t figure out the cause.”

Benno’s voice grew a little cold.

“According to the news that arrived from the capital late last night, a fortune teller named Igor was called.”

“…”

Igor.

The eerie voice of that person echoes in the brain again.

After all, Prince Robert may be a gentleman.

‘That’s why I was looking at Catherine so greedily…’

Looking back now, it seems that Kyung-Wan in the nursery school had a tendency to covet mine.

How many times have I seen him take what I briefly owned.

I didn’t find it odd, since sharing things wasn’t uncommon in daycare, but yes, he certainly had an unusually large number of items that had come within my reach.

I looked at the letters on the amulet for a moment and then opened my mouth.

“Keep an eye on those around the crown prince. Also about a woman named Rene.”

Benno looked at me as if he wanted to ask something, but he quietly lowered his head.

“All right.”
