I Stole the Child of My War-Mad Husband - Chapter 1

TL: Sibyl

Snap!

She swung the little whip in her hand.

“Please forgive me, madam! Snap! “

The maid, who was begging on her knees, got whipped and screamed.

While the woman with the whip spat out coldly.

“How dare you defy me, get on my nerves and be safe? ”

“Sorry, I’m sorry! ”

It was no use apologizing now.

The maid in front of her was about to steal a brooch. The woman was unable to let go this matter.

Moreover, it was not the reason for the theft, but somehow it felt like a sense of duty to hit this maid to her.

‘Why?’

She wondered while continuing to move her arms and legs.

Like a person who is doing the righteous thing. Snap! 

“Ahhh!”

With the sound of tearing flesh, a new scream rang out .

” Ma, Ma’am, is everything all right? “

People outside the room came to see the cause of commotion.

The scene before their eyes, took away their breaths.

“Oh, … ”

They closed the door again with an awkward gesture. But it couldn’t stop the whispering voice coming from outside the door.

“That kid is Mary, what’s going on…… ? ”

“Whatever it is, the lady is catching another innocent maid. ”

“It’s not even been a day or two. ”

Complaints reached her ears.

Though she didn’t care because she had to perform the given action.

‘Wait, given action? ‘

The thought that appeared like a flash in her mind made her hesitate. She suddenly felt an upcoming headache.

Why did she think hitting this maid is something like her duty?

‘That’s weird.’

The woman with the whip was Noel, a noblewoman.

She grew up as a daughter of a Countess, and when she became an adult, she married as one.

Living freely all through her life and doing whatever she desired to do.

But now she feel like doing something she didn’t want to.

“…..”

Actually, this was not the first time that she felt this way.

She was often feeling this way for some time now. Trying to deny it.

But this time it was different.

As if today, the reasoning that yelled at her was stronger than the earlier urges of whisper in her head.

Eventually, the hand that was swinging the whip stopped.

When she found out that the maid was stealing, the right course of action would have been to reveal the facts in front of everyone. Embarrassing her and throwing her out of the mansion.

Why did she have to punish a servant in front of so many people and ruin her own reputation?

‘Why am I being so mean when I know the fact?’

“Ma, Ma’am…… ? ”

The bloody maid lying on her back looked up at her.

She couldn’t understand why she felt obligated to continue to be more vicious and mean?

‘I feel like I’m being manipulated by someone.’

No, more precisely, she felt as if she was under the control of someone else all along.

She stopped all of her actions and slowly opened her mouth.

“That’s enough, non-sense”

“Get your stuff and get out of here. ”

“Yes, yes, yes, yes! ”

The maid barely managed to get up with the support of other employees.

The other maids looked at Noel grudgingly, pretending not to show. Because those people did not know why she punished Mary.

“Oh, my God. “

“Poor Mary. ”

Right now, she didn’t even feel inclined to say anything to them. That’s because she had a sudden question that was able to get her out of her trance.

“Everyone out. ”

Hearing her words, the maids hurriedly cleaned the room and closed the door while leaving the room.

“…..”

She touched her head in the room after being left alone.

That was when she felt another strange impulse.

She felt like throwing away all the things here and there in a fit of anger and take some action to catch the person.

‘No, this is not what I really want.’

She clenched her fist and held back all the impulses that came. Digging her fingernails into the flesh of her palm.

“….”

Sitting in the bed while doing nothing.

She tried to control all the impulses that came up in her head.

Then suddenly, her head started to hurt.

It felt like it was going to break.

Beep. – ..

Then a loud ringing resonated in her ears.

Beyond it, the life of a woman with black hair was spread out like a panorama on the snow cover .
Who was that?

It felt familiar. No, she somehow knew who it was. Afterall, it was her.

She questioned herself.

‘Before, apparently, I didn’t want to hit the maid. Then why did I do it? ‘

As if to contradict herself, someone in her head started giving orders.

Now, come on, torment others and trample them .

‘No.’

She kept resisting.

‘No!’

She never wanted to live as a bad person.

‘I don’t want to live like this anymore!’

She felt something shattering in her head.

That is when the voice that was ordering her some time ago disappeared.

Finally, a hazy afterimage like fog passed by with a whisper.

[My little angel, now your heart is about to be filled with cold ice pieces… ]

‘Who the hell was that whispering…… . ’

Leaving the question behind, all the senses and questions she had just felt had faded.

Like the scattered puzzle piece, all the scenes reason werere-aligned

A buzzing sound resonated like a warning bell.

Making her blink slowly.

“Uh….?”

‘What have I been doing so far?

Yeah, she just remembered.

Originally, she was a Korean. Ever since a young age, she lived alone with her mother.

After graduating from college, she worked as a nurse. It was hard at first, but after sometimes it hit me. I felt a sense of pride in saving lives.

After a few years or so, everyone worked hard with passion, as they were recognized by their colleagues and offered a lecture.

It was a happy life.

Then, suddenly she died.

Born and raised in a completely different world at the same time.

Her current name was Noelle Ainel.

She was a well-known wife of the Marquis who was said to be very vicious and vile in the mansions and social circles.

“Huh?”

She was bewildered to see the scenes of her present life that were passing through her head.

Why are you so mean?

….. were you crazy?

***

She must have lost her mind.

There was one thing that came to her mind from the memory of her previous life.

That is, she was reincarnated as one of the characters in the Harley Quinn novel.

All the current situations have been read in her previous life.

It was really strange.

Until she recalled her past memories, she was swept away by a compulsory sense of duty to bully people.

She felt like she was being manipulated by someone.

What was the reason?

There is no way to tell the cause of this. Besides, it was not the most urgent thing. There were much bigger problems to handle.

Now my name is Noelle Ainel.

The reason this is important is because that was the name of wife of Rupert, the owner of the Harley Quinn.

“Noel Ainel. ”

She turned her head to the voice of a man who suddenly appeared behind her.

There was a familiar face standing in front of her.

Speak of the devil and he appeared.

The person who called her was none other than Rupert, the man she was just thinking about.

“What’s going on?”

The main character and her current husband. He was a man with a very cruel personality, he was a warmonger.

When a sword was in his hands on the battlefield, he was undefeated. There was a ridiculous rumor that his armor was always stained with blood.

For this reason, people called him this with awe and fear.

The Devil.

Of course, he’s a war fanatic and will still fall in love with all of his heart in the future.

……So she was his current wife, the one who changed him, the heroine to put it in an easy way?

“Rupert, is there anything important? ”

He looked down at her with a deathly stare.

“I don’t remember having a relationship, where you called me by my name. Did we?”

Well, not at all.

” I understand, Marquesss Rupert Ainel. ”

He spoke bluntly.

“They said that they suffered from injuries in a week since starting to work and whipping Yongin. I have something to say to you, so come to my office. ”

That was it.

Now she was his ‘evil wife’.

‘The bigger problem is.’

About a month later, she will be killed by her husband, Rupert along with her real daughter.
