When My Enemies Began to Regret

this week?”

 

“Ah, that’s… Countess Vincent is said to be coming at the request of the Madam.
So I prepared white flowers.”

 

The gardener seemed to be unaware of my reputation.
In fact, it was still like this at this time.
It was before Seir, Naverius, and others decided and started spreading gossip about me.
Except for the servants, no commoners would do any great deeds against me.

 

“Countess Vincent? She’s not the one I’m waiting for.
By any chance, has Baron Hopen visited recently? It will be good if he plans to visit in the future.”

 

“Aha.
That person?”

 

“There are many rumors that the young master of the Hopen family has a handsome appearance.
It’s hard to get close, but I wish to see him at least once from a distance.”

 

I, who made up rough remarks, asked him the real question hidden in there with a more comfortable mind.  

 

‘The estate of the family to which a man named Haures belongs is a place that is far from here.
So, according to my prediction, he hasn’t come out of his estate yet.’

 

I didn’t know whether the house of Haures at this time was in the Hopen estate or was just around the corner.

 

‘It will be embarrassing if he’s already started being active before me.’

 

In order to kill him once again, it was necessary to locate him.

 

“Pardon?”

But then.
As I pondered the death of Haures in my mind, the gardener gave me an unknown answer.

 

“I’m sorry, lady, can you say that again? Who is from the Hopen family?”

 

“Isn’t there a rumor that the young master of the Hopen family is handsome?”

 

“Pardon? You must be mistaken for another family.”

 

I talked to him because he looked quite smart, but why is he stuttering so much? My inner gaze could not be stopped from becoming cold, and the answer that followed was even more incomprehensible.

 

“This chief gardener who works with me told this story not too long ago because he worked for the Hopen family.
He said the Baron didn’t have any son born yet.”

 

“…”

 

“So, there’s no way that the young master in that family is handsome, right? Because of that, I’ve heard about the succession issue… Oh my gosh! I made a fuss in front of the lady.”

 

He quickly shut up his mouth as he felt it was a sin to reveal the circumstances of a noble family.  But those sentences alone were enough to make me feel embarrassed.

 

‘I never thought of knowing his movements completely by just listening to the gardener like this.
But… what is this?’

 

It is unknown how many years ago a former gardener of the Hopen family worked there.
However, it didn’t seem to refer to something like 10 or 20 years ago in terms of nuance.
At most, it will be 4-5 years or maybe 1-2 years shorter.
And yet he answered that no boy was born in the Hopen family?

 

‘He was older than me, and he was already famous by this time.
Could such a person suddenly hide his existence?’

 

The gardener took off his straw hat and said goodbye politely, leaving me behind.
I quickly returned to the mansion and pondered for a moment.

 

‘…’

 

That gardener is a commoner.
If I ask a question to a noble, I will get a better answer.
However, a timid and shunned young lady catches a noble wandering out of nowhere and asks about Haures Hopen?

 

‘This is so suspicious no matter who looks at it.’

 

And it was dangerous.
Assuming that Haures was resurrected with memories like myself.

 

I visited the library again to solve my problem myself.
There was a very thick book there which contained a family tree of nobles stretching out like a world tree.

 

‘It didn’t record illegitimate children, but there’s no way that person is not written in here.
Because he was the successor that the family proudly revealed.’

As I slowly turned the page, I saw familiar family names.
After a few more pages, I finally found Baron Hopen’s family tree.
But…

 

“…!”

 

None.

 

On the noble list…His name is… nowhere.

 

Surprised, I hurriedly checked the book’s cover to see what year this list was revised.
But the book was new, made last year at the most.
Nevertheless, there is no Haures in the names that must exist in this period.

 

‘Haures Hopen.
Haures Hopen.
Haures Hopen!’

 

I couldn’t have forgotten the name of the man who I resented infinitely and even took his life with my own hands! In the end, I, unable to believe this situation, struggled to follow the path of a man named Haures Hopen by all means.

 

* * *

 

6 PM.

 

I looked out the window blankly after the second sour and salty meal handed over by the servant.

 

‘How can this happen? It is as if the existence of him has been erased from the world.’

 

In the end, there was no trace of the enemy I hated and resented so much.
Even if I grabbed anyone and asked, the only answer that came was that they didn’t know the existence of Haures, someone who was so famous before.

 

‘That bastard should have died twice more…’

 

Anyway, it doesn’t make sense for me to return to the past.

 

‘Is it possible that I made Haures disappear from this world? So if I kill Seir, will I be back to this time again? Or to my younger life…?’ I thought about it calmly.

  

 

Let’s no longer care about that young master who suddenly disappeared from the world.
What would you do if you were obsessed with someone who is no longer in this world? Even if Haures had abandoned his name and hidden, it won’t change the future.

 

‘First of all, revenge on that maid is the priority.’

 

Then, shall we check if I can erase their presence in this world the same as what happened to Haures? 

 

I looked around the room with an expressionless face.
This room is only filled with terrible memories.
But since starting to plan my revenge, I began to feel quite fond of it.
