140 Cinderella’s Dream
***[Rene, everything]***
From morning until late at night, I am busy fetching water, cleaning, and clearing the cattle shed.
There was no time to rest.
There really is no such thing as Cinderella.
I lament every day how I ended up in this situation, but the situation did not get better and continued to get worse.
I got used to it and the work got a little faster, but instead, there were more things to do.
In the end, the same thing happened.
I still haven’t finished my quota for the day.
After one meal, which should have been two meals a day, and the occasional day when she couldn’t eat anything, she finally lay down.
Even when a senior woman came and kicked her, she couldn’t get up.
Renee thought she was going to die.
I’d rather die.
Then it might be easier.
It was scary and painful even in my previous life until the moment I died, but when I woke up after death, it was a different world.
It may be the same this time too.
‘Yes, it’ll be easier if I die.’
Perhaps, if you are lucky, you will be reborn in another world, on Earth.
My head felt heavy as if it had turned to iron.
It seems that the limbs are pulled downward like wet cotton and stick to the floor.
And I don’t know how long it’s been.
I dreamed of the time when I lived on Earth.
It was when she caught a cold and her husband was taking a break from his busy company to take care of her.
Excited by the heat, she fell asleep in a dreamy state. When she woke up, a wet towel was put on her forehead to cool her down, and her husband was looking at her with a worried face.
When I mumbled that I had no appetite and wanted ice cream, my husband ran out in the middle of the night to buy it.
He scooped them up with a small spoon and fed them mouth by mouth, smiling reassuringly each time she passed them down her throat.
After passing by, it becomes such a longing and happy memory.
‘I want to go back to those days.’
However, her dreams gradually faded into darkness, and before she knew it, she was standing alone in a dark space.
It’s cold, lonely and scary.
As I wandered aimlessly through the dark space, I saw a round light in the distance.
The round light was very large, it seemed to be slightly suspended in the air.
It is as if a giant united in darkness is holding a large crystal.
The light has a slightly darker tinge to it, and while looking at it, I felt uneasy for some reason.
But the other place was darker and more frightening, and somehow I had the feeling that my husband might be there.
I approached the light as if I was being led, but the light got farther away.
I feel like I’m going to lose more and more distance.
As Renee started to run, the round light that had been slowly moving away came a little closer.
At that time, I saw a human figure in the round light.
It’s my husband.
My husband was looking at something with his back turned.
I called my husband’s name, but he didn’t seem to hear.
My husband didn’t look this way.
As I had no choice but to run and run again, I finally got closer to my husband.
but i don’t understand her
The husband was looking at someone without even looking away.
I looked over my husband’s back thinking who it was, and the woman’s figure caught my eye.
‘…that woman.’
It was Catherine.
When I saw my husband again because I thought something was strange, his appearance had changed to Oscar before I knew it.
But my husband was clear.
You can tell by the way she smiles softly at Katrin.
Because when I saw myself on Earth, I had exactly that kind of face and that kind of eyes.
weird.
weird.
Why is my husband wearing Oscar’s face?
The moment I thought so, the round light like crystal went away in an instant and darkness came.
My consciousness slowly returned to reality and I opened my eyes.
It was a hard wooden bed, a room with nothing.
She lay in the monastery room just as she had passed out.
When I swallowed, I felt a dry, bitter taste in my mouth.
It seems that he took medicine.
It is probably the medicine that is being sold in this monastery.
‘I couldn’t die.’
As I thought so while lying down looking at the low attic ceiling, tears ran down my cheeks.
I wanted to die.
I wanted to be born in another world.
I wanted to go back to Earth.
But when you wake up, here it is.
Why did her husband not take her with her in the dream?
I wish I had taken her too to the light beyond the darkness.
Why did you laugh at the other woman?
Even though I knew it was a dream, I felt resentful and sad.
But why did her husband appear in the form of Oscar?
weird.
I was lying there in a daze thinking about that and shedding tears when I heard a thump-thump going up the stairs.
Footsteps drew nearer, and the door burst open, and an elderly woman entered.
“How long have you been sleeping! If I’ve taken expensive medicine, I’ll have to work to pay it back. Do you know how much trouble I’m suffering because of you?”
The woman violently pulled Renee’s arm.
As I fell helplessly to the floor, the woman shouted in a shrill voice.
“Don’t even think of faking it. No one here is lying down with a fever like that. I worked even when I had more fever than you.”
“…”
I don’t even have the strength to respond.
Renee listened to the woman scream and stared blankly at the floor.
Strangely, the face of Oscar he saw in his dream does not disappear from his eyes.
Maybe her husband is like that, just like she came here.
I had a sudden thought.
It’s not like there’s no possibility at all.
Maybe Gyeongwando.
The thought made her heart race a little, but Renee immediately erased the thought.
It’s not impossible that Kyung-Wan is here, but even if it is, it’s better not to think about him.
‘Yeah, I’d rather not have anything to do with him anymore.’
Kyung-Wan is not the type to be faithful to a woman or to be sincere.
I wasn’t sure if I was there, I’d be of help to Renée.
‘But if my husband is here… if Oscar is him.’
If so, be sure to help her.
Because you are a good person
because i love myself
If you cry and pray, the mistakes of your previous life will be forgiven.
Besides, the current Renée has a clean body that doesn’t know men, and yes, she will definitely forgive her.
Because I left my unclean body in the other world.
The husband will have no choice but to let out a sigh, look at her with tender eyes, and forgive her.
Even when the affair was discovered, her husband did not directly take his anger out on her.
It was just that he poured out frightening violence on Kyung-wan.
My husband was very gentle with women, especially with her.
always.
So if that person is here, I will definitely try to protect her this time too.
‘If only that person were really here.’
That day, I was only able to work half as usual.
However, because I was sick, I was able to receive thin flour porridge in the evening.
As she pushed the cold porridge little by little into her mouth, Renee kept wishing her husband would come to this world.
How nice it would be if that person was Oscar.
That night, and the next day, and the day after that, Renee kept having the same dream.
The husband is in the crystal-like light.
Sometimes it was the same face as in the previous life, but other times it was Oscar’s look.
Each time her husband was with Catherine.
Every time Renée found him, she ran as hard as she could, but at the moment when she seemed to catch him, the light always disappeared and she woke up from her dream.
After dreaming the same dream for several days in a row, the thought that Oscar might be her husband, or he must be, took root in his head.
Their faces didn’t look alike, but somehow the two had a similar aura.
That’s the look on her face when she’s looking at Catherine, not herself.
‘But why another woman?’
I know it’s an unreasonable thought, but I still feel sad and sad.
She is living such a miserable life, but her husband is living as Oscar without knowing it.
Will there be another tragedy like this?
‘I have to inform my husband somehow. I’m here.’
***[Heroine Oscar]***
Igor ran away.
It is said that traces of cursing were found in his room in the palace.
As soon as it was discovered, it seems that he somehow knew and ran away.
The royal palace was upset, and it seems that the families of people who came into contact with him or who happened to be unwell at this time also went into chaos.
Suspicions of whether she was cursed seem to be coming from all sides.
The official of the duke’s family in the palace organized the situation and sent it.
Reading the report, I clicked my tongue slightly.
“To lose Igor, the royal family was too weak.”
It’s a trap created anyway.
After catching Igor properly, I had to search the room or secretly secure him and then work, but I made a fuss first and looked ridiculous.
If this happens, it will be a bad result because I would rather not work.
It is the royal family that hired the person who cursed it, and it is the royal family that missed it, so only the ugliness of the royal family will be highlighted.
“I heard the timing was right. I think they raided the room after making sure Igor was going there. Just in time.”
Benno seems to know more about the situation.
He listened to me and explained the situation in a bit more detail.
It is said that the king deliberately called Igor and prepared after emptying the room.
It seems to be the treasure house of an attendant bought near the crown prince.
“Are you tracking Igor’s whereabouts? You can’t miss it.”
Not knowing where he is is unsettling.
Benno did not answer my question for a moment.
A wrinkle appeared on Benno’s forehead for a moment, then disappeared.
Maybe I was offended by the thought of his curse.
Benno lowered his head slightly and answered.
“Yes, I know where he is. I don’t think the master needs to be concerned.”
“…”
For some reason, the feeling is strange.
When I took my eyes off the report and looked at Benno, he smiled and lifted the kettle.
“Would you like another cup of tea?”
“…”
no it’s ok
I’m a bit thirsty, but I still have tea in my cup.
But wouldn’t that sound a bit strange in the current situation?
I felt like I was being duped.
“Benno.”
When I called out after looking at his eyes, Benno put on a sighing expression with his eyes.
“What about Igor?”
When I asked, Benno answered helplessly.
“He’s dead. Looks like he was robbed while sleeping in a shabby lodging. He said the crystal and purse he always had were missing.”

Judging by Benno’s reaction, it’s probably what he ordered.
Igor’s dead… Well, it doesn’t matter.
The other side came out first and tried to kill Katrin.
But the royal family will be looking for him.
If you do it wrong, sparks will pop out in strange places.
Perhaps he knew what I was thinking, Benno opened his mouth.
“It happens sometimes in shabby lodgings. It’s Igor’s fault. He seems to have been carrying gold coins. In places like that, if you think you have even a small amount of money, the person next to you will turn into a robber. It’s safe. If you can’t sleep in the accommodation, at least you should have prepared for your own safety.”
“…”
Perhaps Benno’s words are true.
Even if someone killed Igor under his direction, he would have chosen a place that would not be strange to others.
‘This world is really dangerous.’
Ever since I came here, I have been protected by others.
I think I’ve seen a lot of the filthy back world, but I know it only as knowledge, and I haven’t actually experienced it.
So sometimes we forget how rough this world is.
Suddenly, I remembered Catherine’s curious face, and I opened my mouth without knowing it.
“Catherine, please never let me go out to the castle town. Always be careful in case you sneak out.”
“Of course, master. Even in places where you can’t see, the escorts are always shining in their eyes. You don’t have to worry.”
“… okay.”
It seems that both Benno and Howie are aware of Catherine’s eccentric behavior.
It must be because she heard from Anne’s fiancé that she and Anne secretly wandered around in the marquis family.
A little better than Catherine, but Anne is also a little different from other noble ladies.
“Anne would do well to watch carefully.”
“Of course. That lady is also formidable. Mrs. Dae and other wives were surprised by her considerable acting skills.”
“…”
I don’t know why the two of them are accustomed to such strange things.
It doesn’t matter much since the two of them are having fun, but sometimes I can’t understand.
I smiled lightly, and Benno smiled as well.
Benno said as if he had suddenly remembered.
“After Igor’s death, there are strange reports. They say that after his death, strange things happened in the nearby village. In a few days, there is a person who suddenly died with wrinkles all over his body as if he had grown old.”
“…”
“The dead person was a person who stayed at the same lodging as Igor. Perhaps he stole the crystal, but I’m sorry.”
Benno lowered his head slightly.
“I couldn’t find the whereabouts of that crystal. I couldn’t find any more people who suddenly died from wrinkles.”
The crystal that Igor was carrying might have contained something from a god beyond the stars.
“I think crystals are objects that normal people shouldn’t touch. Even if you find out their whereabouts, don’t touch them or get close to them.”
“All right.”
Benno probably didn’t think the crystal was an important item.
You would have thought of Sujeong as just an accessory, a prop to show off.
I thought so too.
After belatedly realizing that there is something meaningful, Benno seems to be bothered by not knowing where the crystal is.
But maybe it’s rather fortunate.
I saw Benno.
“I don’t know if it’s a good thing, Benno.”
Had someone on our side touched the crystal and been affected by it, the consequences might have been dire.
It is a replica of the Trojan Horse.
“I think it’s better if you don’t care about crystals. Just find out if you’ve had contact with someone on our side.”
“All right.”
After Benno said that, he put on a slightly dark expression.
“I’ll have to request some amulets from the priest. I’ll give all the amulets to those who cross the planet and get close to God-related matters.”
“That would be nice.”
“All the priest’s amulets are good, but the expensive one is a flaw.”
It seems that Benno’s expression was dark because of that.
I laughed out loud because he spoke so seriously.
