Chapter 2

Translator: Sibyl

She couldn’t understand why this was happening to her.

For one instant she was whipping people around, and just like that suddenly she was going through the memories of her past life.

‘Was there some reason behind it?’

She organized the plot of the novel that she remembered as much as possible.

First of all, it was the love story of Rupert and Aishia Ren, the heroine who dreams of becoming a knight.

The original story begins when Aishia, who ran away from her house dreaming of becoming a knight, dressed as a man and joined ‘The Knights of the Raven’.

‘I’m the problem.’

Rupert’s wife, Noel, or she was killed by her husband.

‘This makes no sense.’

She disheveled my hair feeling frustrated by thinking of this injustice.

No matter how mean a woman is, the man who killed his wife and daughter is the main character of this novel! It’s a huge mess! This is a real shitty novel.

But right now, it wasn’t time for her to discuss her bitterness. For now, it was urgent to clean up this situation.

‘First, let’s try to get things straight with my troublesome husband.’

Her relationship with him was at the worst point right now.

Rupert and Noel were connected through a political marriage. So there was no love.

Seven years ago, 20-year-old Rupert beat his brothers and inherited the title of Marquess.

At that time, he had just become a second-generation Marquess and lacked foundation.

In the end, Rupert signed an agreement with her goddamned family on the condition of marriage.

At that time, Noel hated him a lot. A man who was born out of wedlock and was later conferred a title.

It was so obvious.

An unlucky aristocrat married to a posthumous work of illegitimate children, with the typical aristocratic way of pedigree-oriented thinking.

[T/N: The above sentence is trying to depict that the marquess’s death left behind his illegitimate child as his posthumous work. Or so I think.]

…… means that from the first meeting, she showed contempt for him.

Her one-sided contempt was the first step in their relationship.

She even used her luxury to bully others, causing all kinds of accidents she could with her authority.

In a word, she was an open lunatic in this mansion.

Don’t touch her! She will bite you!

After a common political marriage, there was no way that she would have fallen in love with a husband with a sick past.

Why, because her personality was so lovely!

” Ugh…”

She really wanted to hide in a rat’s hole. She had done too many shameful things.

But it wasn’t by her will.

She really doesn’t know why. But she felt like she was being held up by something.

It is natural that Rupert despises her anyway.

Now he didn’t even like her calling his name.

‘What do I do? ’

There’s not much time left until the story begins, and then everything will be gone.

Of course, Noel was guilty of her misdeeds such as lashing out on the servants, spending all the money allocated to her in vain, and so on.

But now, to Rupert, she was the one to do all those things that Noel had done before, but it’s not what she really wanted to do.

With a worried look she repeats these words in her mind, ‘…and I’m sure it won’t work.’

So far all the wrongdoings have been her responsibility.

‘Let’s at least lower Rupert’s hostility toward me.’

She is the wife hated by a war hero after she was reincarnated. That’s perfect.

Fortunately, she found her memories and got some knowledge about the future.

It’s filled with hazards, but how can it not be helpful in any way?

“Okay, let’s start with Rupert’s office. ”

She headed straight to her husband’s office. As she stood in front of the door, she could feel cody tensing up all over again.

” ……let’s do it.”

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

A low voice came from inside.

” – Come in. ”

A squeaking sound could be heard as she slowly turned over the door knob.

***

When she opened the door, Rupert was staring at her with a cold stare. It seems he has a lot to say.

“You whipped the maid because your hair got tangled. ”

It was the first thing she heard as soon as she entered the Oval Office.

She raised my head in wonder at the remark.

Something’s not right.

“Your hair got tangled and you whipped her, didn’t you? “

This was clearly a misunderstanding. The reason she whipped the maid was because of the theft.

“Yeah. Isn’t it as worst as it possibly could be already? ”

Indeed, the other servants who witnessed her actions seemed to have spread a false rumour.

Madam was so mad at her tangled hair that she turned a maid of honor into a dead body.

‘But who could have spread this rumor out of malice? ‘

Well, there’s not one or two people who hate her.

“I didn’t hit her because my hair was tangled. ”

“So what is it? ”

“Because she was trying to steal my brooch. ”

As she was talking she felt a little weird. She couldn’t believe it, she whipped someone.

Rupert gave her a look and laughed.

“You’re telling a meaningless lie to me. “

……what?

“I’ve already heard from witnesses, so you don’t have to say that. I don’t know why you’re lying in the first place. It’s not the first time you’ve ever done this. ”

“……..”

Her credibility in Rupert’s eyes had seemed to hit the rock-bottom.

He believes more in the words of the servants, as compared to her wife.

Her relationship with Rupert was at absolute low. So for now she must accept this as her loss.

‘And I don’t think he’ll believe me.’

She changed her plan.

For now it’s important to make him realise that she is different from before .

First of all, even if there is a false charge, she must admit that whipping someone so ruthlessly was wrong.

“Yeah, I think I went too far. I’ll give her a position and pay her a certain amount of compensation. ”

‘Because it’s hard to take the whip blow this much must be done.’

“……..”

Rupert was silent for a moment, like he didn’t expect her to admit that she did something wrong.

“Oh, I’m not going to whip the servants anymore. ”

Even if you do something wrong, you will be fired. No more using whip. She doesn’t have that kind of awful taste.

Rupert retorted suspiciously.

“How are you going to pay the compensation? You used up all of your allowance in a week. I’m not going to give you any more money for all that luxury.”

Money.

‘Yes, that’s a problem too!’

It’s not one or two of the extravagances and accidents that she had caused so far.

He was a duty-bound husband even to his hated wife.

It means that he paid her enough money anyway.

‘Realistically, it’s too much to ask him for more money right now.’

She can’t ask for more budget like she used to.

‘I have to show you I can do things too.’

Or his assessment for her will go down even more.

‘Think, turn the wheels of your brain.’

There was some information about the future that was related to money.

The problem is that it is something that will need his help.

She glanced at him.

“What if I say I’ll make it?”

Naturally, this caught his full attention.

“You? You’re gonna make money?”

She knew it. She must hold onto this firmly.

“Yes.”

Rupert laughed.

“How on earth? I wonder if you even know how to make money. “

Then he moved towards her, grabbed her wrist and said sarcastically.

“You can’t possibly go to war with this pulsating wrist. “

“That’s right. The same way you do it is impossible. “

It wasn’t exactly wrong. The original “Noel Ainel” didn’t know how to make money.

‘However.’

If you combine the memories of her living in this capitalist society with the information in her head, it is not much of an issue.

“Will you listen to me properly?”’

There’s no other way, so let’s ask him for that first.

She laughed as kindly as she could.

[T/N: While feeling as awkward as she could inside.]

“First of all, Marquis. “

Hoping that she doesn’t look like a weirdo to him, she uttered the dreadful words.

“Will you lend me some money?”
