Knock knock. Marine knocked on the door and opened it, carrying a tray with both of her hands and getting in.
I saw my mother, roana, lying carelessly on the bed.
Her beautiful blonde hair was covered with grey hair , her cheeks were sunken and colored.
Marine tried to hide her sad eyes and called roana cheerfully.
" Mother."
Roana's eyelids fluttered and opened weakly.
Roana rose her upper body part slowly and sat while her back is leaned on the bed's head.
" Your skin looks better today. I think you will get better soon."
Answering marine's joke, roana drew a calm smile on her pale lips.
" Thank you .but till when will u call me mother when u r in an age to get married."
Marine's eyes widened as if she was wondering what she was talking about, but after that she burst out laughing .
" Oh! Even when I grow up to become older than my mom, I will still call you mom."
" Oh, who can stop u? Ur brother...."
Roana was careful and smiled, but she suddenly stiffened and couldn't continue talking.
" Mother! Your daughter, that is unstoppable, brought you tasteless soup and medicine ".
Marine intentionally acted like she didn't hear her .
Marine looked at the soup and medicine and raised her head with a dark expression.
" Did you eat?"
" Of course.i just ate two plates."
Even though she was starving since yesterday, but marine deliberately inflated her stomach and acted full.
Roana turned around, that was staring with sad eyes, and lied down on the bed again.
" I don't have any appetite.so eat more from my portion."
It was a bowl of soup that was barely made with the leftover Ingredients in the house.
And couldn't eat her Ill mother's special food.
" Mother......"
" That's bc I really don't have an appetite."
She must have realized that she was lying when she said she is full .
Once she became stubborn like that , I couldn't stop her .
" Mother. Do u want me to read u a book?"
That was one of the best ways to please roana.
" Aren't you busy? Actually, I can't sleep these days. because I sleep well when you read for me."
Roana showed a look of anticipation .
" You should've told me before."
" I didn't want to bother u."
" I'll read it for u, but you have to drink the soup."
Roana Shaked her head powerlessly , like she can't do it.
Knock knock knock.
And while she was about to convince her mother more, she heard knocking on the cabin's door.
" Mother. Looks like someone is here. I'll read u the book later, I'll leave the soup on the table, so eat it when u r hungry, okay?"
"..........."
Marine left the room leaving roana that didn't answer behind her. She instantly passed the small kitchen to the cabin's door and opened it.
The house owner smiled, Giorno, who is a middle aged man that has stomach fat like a pregnant woman, happily when he saw her.
" Marine."
" Giorno , hello."
When the owner she didn't want to see arrived, she did her best to hide her shock expression and welcomed him.
" Yes, I'm the one who always says hello. How r u marine?"
" Yes , what r u doing here?"
Giorno burst out laughing like he just heard a joke.
" What happening here? Between us."
Marine clenched her fist while Giorno looked at her like a devil.
He always filter like that with this look even though he is a married man.
Should I just hit him one time? Hit him and just run?
Marine hid her shivering hands behind her while remembering her sick mother lying in the room.
" If u don't have anything to do, then I'm busy."
When marine talked coldly and tried to close the door, Giorno smiles and opened the cabin's door strongly.
" The rent has doubled three times this month."
" What is that......"
Marine looked at him in shock.
" Marine used to pay the rent constantly but she didn't pay it until now, and the other houses raised the rent so long ago. The rent will be paid in 5 days, won't u? I'll come take it myself. If u don't have the money, u'll have to get out of here."
Giorno rolled his eyes and threatened her.
" If you surpriseingly said u'll raise it to 3 times , then how can I get that amout of money instantly? Can you give us some more time?"
Marine bowed and begged him.
The winter is coming soon,it will be bad if I get kicked from here with my sick mom.
Giorno smiles and got his face closer to marine's, like he knew that was about to happen.
"Of course , it's not like there isn't other ways......."
Before he could finish talking, marine closed the door on him.
" Ah , my nose!"
I feel pity for u. Marine closed the cabin's door tightly and leaned on it with her back.
Clattering , when Giorno catched the handle and Shaked it, marine's whole body Shaked.
" Hey you, open the door! Do you think i will take care of you more? U r like a broom. Damn , tsk tsk."
Giorno who screamed with all of his voice disappeared.
Marine swallowed her saliva and looked at roana's room. I'm sure she heard all of this fuss.
Mt mother was already weak, and I was worried her mental illness will Increase.
Marine went to roana's room and tried to knock on the door, but she lowered her hand after that.
Can I consulate mom?
Can I lie and say that everything is okay?
The Hings made a lousy sound.
Marine looked T the Hings. The Hings were rusty and must be changed.
The only furniture that was in the room is an old bed and an old fashioned table.
The old fashioned table was the only furniture piece that was moved here from the old castle.
I couldn't throw it away cuz I remembered my father's face while asking me to take care of it, saying it was something my grandmother used since she was little .
Marine muttered to herself calmly . ' I need money'.
The patients need a good amount of neutritions. But I felt everytime I served my ill mother soup without any ingredients.
In top of that the rent increased by three times. It was like getting humiliated on top of being hurt .
' that dang owner.'
Marine sat on the chair and carefully got out s paper from the closet.
The paper was full of messages that only she can read in the kingdom.
Her eyes were fixed on the first line.
" The western duke's blue bird doesn't cry."
After she had and accident she realized she is living in a novel.
I suffered death for severely months.when I finally woke up, I realized that this was a novel I read before .
she is the main character?
No it's not like that.
It was because I was born and raised in the west, where the novel's main events take place.
The people born on the west can't know anything about feins family.
The content of the novel " the western blue bird doesn't cry" simple.
The novel's male lead, who is a western duke, becomes blind and poor because of a monster attack,then meets the female lead, a miracle in the herbal medicine works happens, which heals his eyes, it was a fictional romantic novel about people falling in love after that.
I read alot of novels about the northern duke, but I chose this because it's new and about the western duke.
I was renicreated into that novel's world and have been living in it.
" It's silly......"
If time passed like that, the it's normal to hear the duke's happy ending. The duke's wedding would he the century's awaited wedding.
But the problem is money.
" I need money."
She didn't have time to feel nervous when she got renicreated in the book's world.
That because her family was destroyed and then living difficulties came.
The count's family shweins had lands and was rich .
However, after the moving incident it turns out that he owes his father a big amount of debts.
She had to let go of all his lands, and properties, and his castle, and even sell all her dresses and accessories.
And after selling her last expensive dress she had, she could finally rent a two rooms cabin on the mountains.
Roana was left after the accident.
I had to do something myself.
The name of the count's daughter, that ruined her family , wasn't useful in this life.
" I need money."
Marine repeated the same words .
On the contrary , I felt that jumping into the main character's life's won't be helpful.
At that time, I did my best to avoid getting into their life's.but now I'm on my maximum.
Marine's light green eyes that were similar to sprouts was string at the paper in her hand. It was a paper full of important information about this novel.
I already know stuff about the duke, the male lead of this novel.
It's time to use the only weapon she has.
