I Thought It Was a Common Transmigration

“I can’t adapt to the social world these days. The country villagers and the like stir up the bazaar. Besides, don’t you notice?”

Not knowing that Edith would stare at her and attack, the lady raised her eyes sharply.

“What else is that?”

“Edith Rigelhoff.”

“Ah, he said he was just leaving…? It’s really rumored. There is not even one wife that looks better than an illegitimate child.”

“So you heard that you are being ignored even by your own husband?”

They mocked her as if they were determined. However, she wasn’t the original protagonist, so there was nothing to get excited about.

“Hmm… So, to Edith ‘Ludwig’, who is just going out, what kind of character is that person who is just going out? I have no idea who she is just by looking at her face.”

She wondered if she would keep her mouth shut, but a young lady next to her raised her chin and answered.

“If Countess Breen doesn’t even know you, Edith, shouldn’t you look back on your culture and insight?”

“Anyone who picks a fight on a passer-by will have to learn basic etiquette again.”

At those words, the woman who was said to be Countess Breen’s eyebrows twisted even more.

“Now I see that bastard looks better. She at least seems to know where she is.”

“And you should look good in the eyes as the Duchess, not like that woman worse than an illegitimate child. If this matter comes to the ears of the Duchess now, Count Breen will be in danger.”

Countess Breen looked at her up and down again, clutching her fan.

“I’ve heard rumors that the Ludwig family brought in a daughter-in-law they didn’t like, but I didn’t think she would be that bad.”

“They were forcibly brought in by Count Rigelhoff.”

“Do you feel sorry for Killian?”

Like worker bees swarming around the queen bee, the young ladies were pouring out only sounds that Countess Breen liked.

The way she looked was so funny.

“Okay, if you’ve said everything, can you stop blocking the road? Lord Cliff Ludwig is coming after this.”

She felt like she could feel Cliff’s energy, so she said this without looking back, but she wondered if they really saw Cliff, and they hurriedly disappeared leaving behind disapproving glances. Then, Cliff’s kind voice came from behind.

“Why are you standing there?”

At the sound of Cliff’s voice, Lise let out a trembling breath and raised her head. Edith glanced back at Cliff and whispered to Lise.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m fine…”

“Do you know someone?”

“She is a friend of the Countess of Sinclair. Even Edith got to hear harsh words because of me… I’m really sorry.”

“I am really fine. I can talk wilder than that. I have nothing to lose.”

While she was shrugging, Cliff came and looked at Lise’s complexion, and Lise quickly smiled as if it was nothing.

‘She also lives a very difficult life.’

Those who wanted to look good in the Ludwig family knew that they cared for Lise, so they praised Lise, but those who didn’t, even after the 4th volume of the original work, still looked down on Lise, saying that she was an illegitimate child.

‘I feel like I’ve become one of those gossipers, but…’

Even the people who looked down on Lise made fun of Edith, saying that she was worse than Lise, and if it was Edith of the original work, it would make her roll her eyes.

‘But to me, Killian is more important than you.’

She went to the Duke’s tent, repeating ‘selection and concentration’ again. Back at the tent, Duke Ludwig was sitting, but Killian was nowhere to be seen.

‘Ah, he must have ran to buy Lise’s work. But Cliff must have just bought it already.’

If she had known it would be like this, she would have come a little slower. By noon, people flocked to the bazaar, and the boisterous greetings continued. And the episode started to do its job. In other words, it meant that she and Lise started to be compared in earnest. There was nothing like the group of women blocking the road earlier.

“Oh my, Miss Lise gets more and more beautiful every time I see her!”

“It seems that Mrs. Ludwig has already made Miss Lise a daughter-in-law?”

“I saw the work that was put out at the bazaar earlier. How can you be so skillful?”

No, this was not a comparison. Because she was completely ignored. Earlier, those people started a fight, so there was a way to pay them back, but these people didn’t do anything  like that. It was as if they couldn’t see her at all.

‘Selection and concentration, selection and concentration… These people are nameless extras… Let’s not be offended by the words of the 2Ds.’

The elaborately decorated aristocratic wives were calling each other by name, but they were faces and names that she couldn’t remember when she turned around.That’s probably the fate of the folding screen extras.

Then someone brought up her name.

“Oops! There was also Edith here! However… I think your style has changed a bit from before…?”

“Come to think of it, I see.”

She guessed so. The girl who used to emphasize her breasts and preferred flashy dresses suddenly appeared in plain clothes. Maybe that’s why they didn’t notice that she was here.

‘Ah! Could that be why Edith wore raunchy and flashy clothes? Otherwise, she won’t be noticed next to Lise…’

In this way, she came to understand Edith again. Just then, Killian, who must have failed to buy Lise’s work, approached.

“Killian! It seems like we haven’t seen each other in a long time.”

As expected, Lise greeted him first. Seeing that she hadn’t seen him in a while, it seemed that Lise didn’t even have time to see his face after returning from the estate yesterday.

She didn’t know why that’s so comforting.

“I know. How have you been doing?”

“Fine! What about Killian?”

“Me too, what…”

His gaze turned to Edith. Would he ignore her when she said hello? But if she didn’t do it, people would criticize her for not greeting her husband, right?

“I miss you, ah, no, did you have a good trip?”

She almost said that she had missed him unintentionally. Why was she living so carelessly these days?

“…I had a good trip.”

Fortunately, Killian did not ignore her greetings. He even came towards her.

“Did anything happen in the meantime?”

“I was busy preparing for the bazaar, well. Because I’m not good at embroidery.”

“It seemed so.”

What did you say?

“Aside from that… Anything more?”

“What’s the big deal? Just a little… I was bored.”

“Why? Because I was not there?”

“Ha! What the… Aren’t you overly self-conscious?”

But she couldn’t answer no. To be honest, without Killian, everything was boring and uninteresting. There were a lot of days when she couldn’t see Killian even when he was at the mansion, and she didn’t know why she missed him when he was outside.

Despite her unfriendly reaction, Killian only smiled and did not spit out any harsh words. They enjoyed the bazaar as a happy family after a long time. Intermittently, Lise talked to Killian, but strangely, Killian did not respond for a long time.

‘What happened?’

Well, thanks to that she was good. Killian sat next to her the whole time, and she was spared the sack of barley she had borrowed. How nice it would have been if the day ended just like that.

“I’m going to go fix my makeup for a while.”

The problem was that she was in a hurry to go to the bathroom because of the iced tea she kept drinking. After using the luxurious bathroom in the mansion, she came out in a light mood, but someone grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the side of the building.

“Oh, brother?”

“It’s been a while, Edith.”

It was Edith’s brother, Shane Rigelhoff. It was clear that the tension had loosened in the meantime. She forgot that Rigelhof could come here too! Shane looked like Countess Rigelhoff, blonde, and handsome, but she felt very uneasy from the first time she saw him. It’s partly because she suffered too much from her older brother in her previous life, but it’s also because this person also didn’t look at her well. Sure enough, in Edith’s memories that soon followed, this human was no different from her older brother in the previous life. It was clear that he thought of her as expendable to his own career.

“Ha ha ha! Alone, are you here?”

“Of course I came with my parents. But, what the hell happened to you?”

“What?”

As she pretended not to know anything, her eyes widened.

“Are you being watched by the Ludwig family?”

“Pardon?”

“I thought you were crazy because you sent us a letter telling us not to think about attacking the Ludwig family, but right after that you sent us weapons related documents, and those documents were fake.”

She paused.

“Brother. The weapon papers. When and who did you get it from?”

“Your reply came shortly after, through a private messenger. Did they give you fake documents to test you?”

Who the hell sent that document? At the time, she was suspicious of Lise, but thinking about it, Lise had no reason to do so. What’s wrong with her, so would she hurt her? And she had one more question.

“If you’ve guessed that far, you know that I’m in a precarious position in the Ludwig family, right?”

“So you have to act wisely. Can’t you do that much?”

“I suffered quite a bit because I was suspected of stealing the document.”

“So? Are you telling me that you’re stupid?”

Her curiosity was quickly dispelled. After all, Shane wasn’t concerned about her safety. All of a sudden, it seemed that the anger she hadn’t been able to pour out on her brother from her previous life welled up.

“By the way, the weapon-related papers. I didn’t send it.”

“What?”

“I don’t know who did it, but it looks like they sent it to fuck me.”

“What are you talking about… wait a moment. If it’s not you who sent it, you…”

“Yes. The letter I sent to my father is my sincerity. Stop thinking about hitting the Ludwig family. I’ll be in big trouble later…!”

With a growl, her head turned. Her ears were deafened and physiological tears burst out. It was next that his cheeks burned like they were on fire.
