We looked back at the Duchess in surprise.
The Duchess had just been sickening and was embarrassed and surprised.
âHuh? Why is this all of a suddenâ¦â¦.out of the blue! Uwegh!â
âMaâam!â
âLady!â
Mimi and I were flustered in our seats. Whatâs going on here? Donât tell me⦠Maybeâ¦â¦!!
âLady, lean on me. You guys go get the Doctor!â
âYes, yes!â
Bessie, who closed the basket back and removed it far away, said, helping the Duchess.
The Doctor she meant is the doctor of this mansion.
Mimi and I quickly got out of the backyard after answering.
But I didnât go to the Doctor.
As a reader of my old romance novel, Mimi and I, if this is what we think it is, thenâ¦â¦.
âMaster!â
âYour Excellency!â
We ran wild into the Dukeâs office. I was so helpless that I couldnât overcome my inertia that I fell to the floor.
âHey, what are you doing? Sir, Iâm sorry. Right nowâ¦.â
âNo.â
The Duke was embarrassed and stood up, stopping the soldiers from pulling us down.
If it were usual, it looked as if the statue was moving, so I was fascinated, but now I wasnât able to do that either.
âWhatâs going on?â
The Duke may have noticed this.
Weâve always admired you two, but weâre inevitably going to find you and make such a fuss about you.
We tried to calm ourselves down and said honestly.
âMy master just smelt the food in the backyard and was sick and disgusted with the smell. But that looks like.â¦â
As ifâ¦â¦..
It was before we even finished talking.
The Duke, who we couldnât see his expression because we were lowering our head, turned around without delay.
We were wondering for a moment. The door isnât that way.
And the next moment, I was surprised.
âAhhhhhhhhhhhhh!â
The Duke opened the window wide and jumped!
Mimi and I were all alone and screamed, and soon we approached the window.
The Duke was not seen outside the window.
ââ¦â¦did he go to the backyard?â
âHe is, isnât he?â
What floor was this?
After a brief spell of raptures with a pounding heart, we soon came to our senses and used the ordinary hallway to move to the backyard.
And then I stopped at one point.
I could see the Duke and his wife through the hallway window.
The Duke was holding the Duchess in his arms. It was not long before the Duke kissed the Duchess one by one in the face of the Duchess.
Forehead, eyelid, nose, lips.
Mimi and I stood there as if we were nailed to the seat and watched the scene.
Then we turned our heads and stared at each other.
ââ¦â¦we donât have to go to the backyard, do we?â
âYeah, letâs stay here, letâs not interrupt.â
âShall we go get the Doctor?â
âOkay, good.â
We walked slowly. Anyway, I felt like I had finished the most important task.
But what does this feel like? While I was proud and satisfied, one side of my chest felt empty for some reason.
âThymai.â
âHow are Cupidia, these days?â
Cupidia is a reputed matchmaker among maids in her former workplace.
Once sheâs caught, itâs said that anyone can never be released until they become a couple.
Cupidia once looked at me and Mimi.
At that time, I avoided it because I felt burdened and didnât feel like it.
âWellâ¦â¦ wouldnât he be doing well?â
âShall we get in touch?â
ââ¦â¦..Should we?â
I think the mind of a person is changing.
The hot summer has passed and the chilly autumn has come. Mimi and I decided to be close again with Cupidia.

Ari thought she had a long dream.
âWhat do you think?â
Ari heard a friendâs voice. The classroom was noisy when the class was over.
âThinking of dreams.â
âDream?â
âI had a little dream the other day when I was lying down because I got hurt.â
Actually, it wouldnât have been a dream. It was too vivid to be a dream.
But to that friend, a dream where I have only moved to another world and I dove into somebody elseâs body, soul as a matter of fact â¦â¦.it is not possible to say that.
âOh, when you rolled down the stairs and you were out of your mind for almost a week? Hey, it was a total mess back then. I thought something was wrong with you.â
âHmm.â
Ari pushed her clasped hand under her chin.
A week. Six days and a half to be exact.
It was a period when Ari was unconscious after rolling on the school stairs.
Yes, thatâs why Ari couldnât tell the truth anymore.
Ari spent more than two months in the other world as Agrita Grace for two months.
But itâs only been a week here.
The flow of time was so different. It was ten times as good as she could guess.
âSo how can I explain this to someone else? It was comfortable to assume that it was just a dream.â
âYou like fantasy novels. Aristocracy and magic.â
âHuh? Yes, I like romance fantasy, to be exact.â
âThatâs exactly what my dream was about. Do you want me to tell you?â
âOh? Do it.â
The friend leaned against Ariâs desk and gleamed interestingly. The chatter continued until the class bell rang.
><><><><><><><><><>
It was the title of a novel written by her daughter. The genre is romance and fantasy. At first glance, Kim Go-dong came to her mind.
The title Kim Go-dong made at a similar age to her daughter was âSpring of the Goddess Agrita.â
Ari put her hand in her head after a moment of contemplation.
âThe Beastâs flower is better. My daughter is good at making titles though.â
A personâs arm bends inward. It was inevitable.
And there was something Ari didnât know at this time.
As Kim Go-dong moved to another world, he became able to see the future.
Ari also crossed the dimension. That was twice as many times.
It was not strange at all to have any ability in her.
For example, the story she writes is superimposed on another world, creating a world of her own.
âHaam.â
Ari stretched herself after finishing a work that she did not know whether he was writing or rewriting it.
âUh.â
Ari looked out the window and stopped. It was snowing. It was a big snowstorm.
âBy the time my daughter finishes school, itâll be piled up. Iâll pick her up.â
Ari smiled softly as she looked out into the snow.

âYou know what?â
âWhat?â
Two wizards wearing long robes, which are almost like symbols of the wizard, watched the tall tower made of the black stone wall.
âI mean our tower. How it was built.â
âYou know, hundreds of years ago, a genius wizard, Mayke, spent a lot of money on it. In the meantime, there was the help of a half-demon or something.â
âThatâs right. Tens of millions of golds were built. Some say it was close to a billion.â
âHundreds of millions of goldâ¦â¦?â
One wizard looked at the other wizard in surprise. It was more than expected.
âWhere did she find that kind of money?â
âIt was said that it was all collected by receiving investment.â
âInvestment?â
âAt first, a dukeâs family invested millions of gold, and as it spread, other families offered to invest as well.â
âWow.â
âThey said that the Imperial Palace also paid for some money. So she was able to buy this land and build such a tower on it.â
âI see.â
The wizard nodded his head. Then he said.
âBut why did we suddenly start talking about this?â
ââ¦â¦because I donât want to work?â
âAha.â
I see, the wizard clapped his hands and laughed. Then soon he became sullen.
âBut letâs go to work. If I get caught by the Lord of the Tower, Iâll die.â
âUhâ¦.â
What is life? The two wizards stumbled.
âHey, young lady there.â
The girl who was walking that street stopped walking. An old woman, who opened a stall on the shoulder of the road, called her.
âDonât you want to know about your past life? I can show you if you want.â
The girl seemed to be contemplating for a while and then nodded her head.
âOkay!â
The girlâs head is done with the calculation. The old woman, who usually encounters this way on this street, is not a swindler but a good fortune-teller with a probability of about 95 per cent chance.
The old woman was a really good fortune-teller, according to the calculation of a girl whose origins are unknown.
In particular, she was able to pride herself on being superior to anyone in taking a peek at a personâs past life.
The old woman grinned at the girlâs simple but luxurious dress. She thought she could eat meat today.
The girl sat down without hesitation in front of the old womanâs seat, which was actually a street ground.
The old woman shuddered at her. What is it? Isnât she a noble aristocrat?
The girlâs behaviour was as free as her yellow curly hair, which flew everywhere.
She was embarrassed, but the old woman quickly recovered her composure. She doesnât know. Anyway, the girl looks rich.
Thatâs enough. The old woman touched the bead on the left board and chanted an incomprehensible spell.
Soon, a figure of someone came up inside the bead.
She was a beautiful woman with greedy red hair. To be right, the old woman stuck out a bead with pride.
âThis is the image of this girl in her previous life.â
Sometimes, they call out their previous lives by chanting spells, but there are times when evil looks or animals are thrown out.
At that time, it was a day when it was hard to get lucky even after a lifetime. Itâs a good thing she doesnât get cursed at. She was lucky to be the opposite of her today.
The girl seemed surprised to see the reflection on the bead.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThis is me in my past life?â
âYes, you must have taken over the country with your beauty in your previous life.â
The old womanâs mouth was full of words with the expectation that she would be able to receive good fortune.
It wasnât a lie. The lady in the bead was a really lively beauty.
Well, itâs kind of an exaggeration to say that she would have shaken the country.
In fact, it should be this much if she seems to shake the country with her beautyâ¦â¦.
The old woman looked at the man next to the woman reflected in the bead and thought casually, and was soon surprised.
The girl seemed surprised, too. The man who looked at her with affectionate eyes was showing off his incredible beauty.
ââ¦â¦..I, I think itâs my husband.â
The old woman stammered unknowingly.
Thatâs amazing. Thatâs what she thought. This oneâs past life was a hit.
âYou must have had a lot of luck in your past life.â
When she calls out someoneâs past life, it is a day that usually hits the pockets of an old woman. The old womanâs tone of voice naturally became polite.
âWowâ¦â¦I know. You were the winner. You succeeded in your previous life.â
âHmmm. If youâd like to see your husband in this life, would you like me to show you?â
It was a service. But the girl, who thought she would like it, hardened her face at once.
âNo.â
âHuh? But itâs justâ¦â¦â¦.â
âI donât want to know.â
The girlâs face was serious. Soon the girl whispered.
âDo you know the secrets of this world, fortuneteller?â
âSecret?â
âIn fact, in this world, the faces of a few specific guys have turned the rest of the guys into squirrels. Itâs unfair.â
ââ¦â¦.what?â
Squirrel?
âMy future husband is also obvious. Either Iâm going to get caught or not, Iâll give up my marriage and live alone.â
âNoâ¦.â
âIn fact, I donât have much to complain about. Is marriage a big deal? Whatâs so important about marriage? No wonder the more I talk about it, the more I sweat from my eyes, but thatâs the case anyway. Itâs enough to have seen my past life. This is a fortune!â
The girl then gave a bag of gold coins and disappeared.
It was a lot thicker than the old woman expected.
The old woman was more dazed than she should be.
âWhat do you mean, squirrelâ¦.â
She doesnât know what it means, but she feels like itâs very negative. But the old woman could not understand.
The fate of the two men and women, who she had peeked into the beads, was interconnected.
In other words, the girl would be reunited with her former husband in this life.
âThis face is reincarnated as a grasshopper?â
Of course, in general, the appearance of a previous life does not affect reincarnation.
But somehow it occurred that the old woman would not be the only one who thought so.
Eventually, the old woman laid her hand on the marble and secretly peeped into the face of her husband, whom she would meet in this life.
It was not long before the old womanâs mouth was filled with exclamations.
ââ¦â¦â¦uh.â
It meant admiration.
âI knew this would happen. What a lucky girl you are.â
What does she mean?
The inside of the bead seemed to glow.
The old woman inadvertently compared the husband of the girlâs previous life to the husband of this life. It was hard to tell the difference. So in terms of appearance.
âI envy youâ¦.â
If there is a real winner in life, it is definitely this girl.
She wishes she could follow this half fortune in her future life. The old woman cleared up the stalls, promising her next life.
Todayâs business was over. She had already earned about a monthâs worth of income.
Even if she eats today, she should eat expensive meat. The old woman hummed away.
Only the fresh spring sunshine fell on the spot where the old woman disappeared.
