I am very proud of my lady Arianne.

"Hmm-mm mm!" Humming along to the chirping of the birds I walk my way on this giant palace complex to the lady's room.

—Lady Arianne has changed... I thought to myself. The Lady ever since she woke up is now acting in a completely different way to how she was before.

Before, the lady was kind but shy, caring but lacked willpower, always trying her best but can't do anything because of her fragile constitution. Lady Arianne was the type of person that would not raise her voice at a maid.

...Even when she would be abused by servants in the past she would always get up and smile afterwards, always looking at the positive of things.

Just thinking about it sunk my heart.

Holding my chest tight I swear, "I swear to make the lady truly happy." To make sure she doesn't make a pitiful smile ever again.

I move my steps faster to reach her faster, with a cup of fresh juice in her hand.

Then thinking about it again, right after the lady woke up and comparing the Arianne of the past to now. I made a small smile.

"...But now I wouldn't need to worry about her being like that of the past anytime soon." 

Lady Arianne now had something she sourly lacked until now, confidence. Just from my brief conversation with her I now know that the Lady Arianne of right now is not a pushover, in fact I feel like she'll get rid of anyone that dares to cross her.

"Though her mind is still a mess right now." She can't even remember my name Miriam. The maid that always came to her need in the lowest of times.

"But when she does remember..." Thinking about the current lady remembering her past, what the current lady Arianne Magen Geistein would do....

Chills ran through my spine.

I spoke in a very low voice so no one would hear me. "...The lady might go after that bitch finally." I quickly looked around to make sure no one heard me, and I made a sigh in relief.

—After all, it is forbidden to talk about that bitch, I mean that woman in any way.

I reach the door. 

But unfortunately, "She really did that to that viscount's son?!" There were some maids passing through me.

"Block." I preemptively casted the only magic I can use. Once I hold my breath I can't hear anything.

I can't hear anything but here's what they said.

"Oh look, it's the common whore..."

"Shh! She'll hear you!"

"Huh? That woman always never hears us!"

"No girl, she might tattle us on her sugar daddy the leech."

"Yikes let's go."

"Haa!" I let go, that was half a minute almost nearing my record.

But 30 seconds isn't enough time to block everything they said.

"And now she's spreading her legs on the little girl too." 

After they said that.

"Huh?!" I turned around and my eyes glared at the two maids.

"Shit she heard us!" The two immediately ran away.

I look at them with cold eyes. "Don't snitch? Like I ever cared about them or my dignity." I do not care how much they called me a whore or a slut because lord Albrecht brought me here and favors me. But hearing my lady come out of their foul mouths....

"They will pay." I know their faces and I'm not afraid to knock on the master's office to report this.

And now, "My lady." Staring at the door once again I am reminded that the Lady Arianne that I know of is currently not inside this door. This lady is almost the complete opposite of the one she knew.

"...Confident and an arrogance that i could never have imagined be on lady Arianne." I should have been completely perplexed by this and maybe even lost my loyalty, so why?

No matter how different she may be now, Lady Arianne will always be a person I admire. "I am honestly excited to see when her memories return." Her new found self confidence with the kind soul of the past? My heart is beating very fast.

"Now then." I opened the door with a smile and—!

I dropped the teacup.

•••

"This—this is!"

I am going through Mr. Kim's memories right now. 

I feel like my soul is being forced to watch this man's memories, and I cannot look away from it.

"It's a different world..." Although I see people, I do not see any other race like the elves. Even these people here look weird with their weird slanted eyes and all black hair.

Not only that there are self moving iron wagons called cars. Weird magic devices that let you talk to each other from far away. A magic box with people inside, and giant metal birds. The houses are very sharp and there are buildings which pierce the sky.

"Mr. Kim truly is a foreigner." But now I am focusing on the voices in his memories.

"Hey, ———! Let's play this game I just bought!" 

I heard a young boy's voice. But more importantly than that, "Why is that part there missing somehow?" From what I can guess it's a name.

But I continue looking through the memories, and it seems that time has passed here and now.

"———! I hate those rich folks as much as you do but rather than sit here getting angry, why don't you become one of them and destroy them all!" 

The boy continues. 

"Your smart right ———? I think you of all people should get out of this dump and become something better. Getting a business and becoming of the rich guys would be great right?"

At this point I just stayed silent and watched the memories unfold in front of me.

Time seems to have passed forward and now I see teenagers in weird white outfits. But from all the boring people in the memories, I saw one incredibly pretty girl. That pretty girl takes a peek at Mr. Kim's writings. 

"Oh wow, you're planning something like that for your future...? No, no, I'm not making fun of you. You see my parents work in a big company so I know a bit or two of business from them."

This pretty girl talking to Mr. Kim seems even more beautiful in his memories.

"...I told you pretty much what I know Kim. Then as a favor you will meet my parents heh...but seriously, I think you should do this. I'll give you my full support." 

Then after that time moved forward and I feel I'm in an older Mr. Kim now.

"What? Me? Why are you the one asking me this? I can't do it… You believe in me? You trust I can do this? Well okay… I'll work for you and if this isn't successful then I'll leave immediately."

This one though there's a girl with a big glass over her eye, and afterwards, I heard Mr. Kim's voice.

"I told you, I did all of this because I trust you, and my parents are already invested in you—what are you doing?!"

"Will you marry me?"

Everything is very light so far, even though I am not Mr. Kim I can feel that this was the happiest moment in his life.

So after that I see more memories.

"Hahaha Mr. ———! Let's cheer for our wonderful future!"

"Really, Sir ———? You will personally teach me how to run this project?"

Afterwards it turned even brighter.

"Do you take Ms. Aera as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

"I do."

Although it is vastly different from my world, I can tell it is a wedding ceremony that the fairy tales always tell about. Also I finally learned of the beautiful girl's real name

Afterwards it becomes so bright that it's blinding.

"Hey Kim ———, what do you want these two to be called?" 

I saw that lady holding two bundles of cloth on each of her hands, but upon closer look. I can see it, two new lives were born that day.

"Our names are pretty standard here and I kinda wanna break tradition a bit. What do you say we combine our names for them?"

"I was thinking the same thing." 

Sadly I didn't get to hear those names before time was skipped once again.

"Huh? Why did it get so dark?" Everything around me suddenly turned black. It was raining on a cold dark night.

Unlike the bright light of earlier, right now it feels heavy, Mr. Kim's shoulders are heavy and walking through this luxurious house it gets darker and darker.

I felt that the door Mr. Kim is walking through it like a portal to hell, and when he went inside...

Everything went black.

I cannot see anything, no memories of what happened when he entered that house.

Even so, "Stop it!" I can hear it.

Rjfufjwkaldbtndjsksndncnncndndjxbaakenfbchsnsnbdfkkdjsbdbxnxndnfjsksmdnrndnsjenrdnsjdnfnjcndnrjdjddnfnjdenebdndmdmsmdnrkekakakwkwfnrjdnfjxjendndnfnrnskwkrktnrnrjgfjndndxbjcnrnrdjjdndndfjdhdbfjwbwvdytnfjzvfdndjtnwiryiwjdbdjfnfjtfhdbdugjrvsmakaldfncndndndnfndjekendndndnfnrfnnrnrnfnfendnxjdjwmwmammaksksndncjenrndndndjdjdndnxndndnxjxjskakdndjhxenakwlrndjjsnekdrjjsissjsjxjnrksjfrjjdjernkfksnwbd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can hear all these jumbled thoughts, screaming, shouting, and moaning all at once.

This is not even memories, I feel like something inside of Mr. Kim is attacking me.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" I closed my eyes and ears because all this noise is hurting my head.

With all of this going on I begun to mutter to myself, "Is Mr. Kim alright?" I cannot understand any of this, and he's the one who'll be moving my body from now on.

"If he's like this then..." My spine shivers.

It eventually stopped. But when I opened my eyes to check I immediately shut it up.

It was just a glimpse but I saw it.

The beautiful lady I saw earlier, the one that made Mr. Kim, so bright, covered in bandages.

Her face, I cannot see it from the bandages but her face is definitely not the same. There was also another person next to her, covered in even more bandages, laying down unconscious and being dragged out by a portable hammock type of bed.

"....He's insane." I have let a man that would do this to his own wife in my body.

After that intelligible words finally came out.

"I believe our partnership is now over Mr. ———, due to your….situation the board of directors has announced to replace you with your protege. Be happy that someone you raised up has replaced you. You know my investments in this company have tanked because of what you did."

"I truly apologize Mr. ——— for prematurely taking your position, but I do believe that this company no longer needs someone like you to be representing it any longer. Once again I thank you for everything you thought but from now on,I think it's in our best interests to not talk to each other okay? Goodbye."

"Betrayed me? You betrayed yourself and more importantly to Aera! So what if I leaked this to the media? The world needed to know the truth and you needed to be exposed. You trusted and believed in me... I'm sorry for betraying that trust but what you did is too far. I will now be following the new CEO and Chairman. We will now be severing our personal relationship from now on."

After that the words become hazy.

"What was your—"

"Even though he—"

"She had an affair but—"

"Why—"

"Did—"

"You—"

"Beat—"

"Her?"

"He....endured all of this?" I do not understand what CEO and media means but I do understand that he's life is in shambles.

But Finally, there was a calm voice after that. It was calm, too calm.

"This day is where the court proceedings will begin, we have brought the best lawyers we can but it will be a difficult battle. If this case gets too insurmountable we suggest a plea deal. I will talk to you soon Mr. ———"

After the weird monotone man leaves. It's all just me and Mr. Kim in a room alone.

"I'm tired of this..." 

And everything started going black.

I hate them. I despise them. I despise them so much. I hate them so much. I will take my revenge. I will take my revenge on all of them. It's their fault. It's all their fault. I hate them. I hate them. I hate everything. I despise everything. I despise everyone. They betrayed me. Everyone betrayed me. All of them betrayed me. They took advantage of me. All of them took advantage of me. They're bastards. They're assholes. They're fuckheads. All of them. I will take revenge on all of them. A of them will suffer.

Except me.

These lines of hatred were etched into the consciousness of Mr. Kim as I see it written around me.

"He's truly mad." But unlike the insanity from before, I can understand this much better. "He's insane, but who wouldn't in this situation?" I am beside him right now and even I feel like the whole world is against me.

The room he was became really dark and I wanted to close my eyes again, before I heard a ringing sound.

Ring! Ring!

Mr. Kim used a magical device that used that ring and it's...

"It's me, Aera." 

The beautiful lady that was now covered in bandages before was now talking to the man that did that to her.

"I know due to our situation we can't talk much. But I'm using a spare phone my parents passed to me right now and I'm talking to you in the bathroom away from the nurses." 

She continues.

"Anyways, you've done irreparable damage to me ———, and needless to say it's over for us. I mean it's over for us when I let him in the house but still—"

She pauses for a bit then continues.

"I'm not gonna appear in court."

She pauses again.

"I will never forgive what you did to him and to me. But I won't appear in court against you, don't ask the reason why but I won't. For everyone involved."

And after hearing her sigh once more, she said this.

"This'll be our last time speaking together like this ever again… So, goodbye, we had a good run together. Let's support the kids the best way we can, for them at least. So yeah, goodbye. ———"

After telling that to Mr. Kim, he throws the magic talking device on the wall as he sat back, crying.

"You bitch..." 

He limply sat on the floor by the wall, weeping. 

"You ruined everything and I hate you to the bottom of my heart. But why is it I still love you?" 

And there I saw the shocking image of Mr. Kim.

Alone, crying, and without anyone to lean to. He's sitting on the floor sobbing. He isn't being into madness or insanity. He just sat there weakly. He's truly vulnerable.

And something about that image resonated with me. "Why do I remember that time of all times?" I remember sitting in that same position inside a closet because I never want to go outside.

Because that person would hurt me.

Right now we truly felt the same.

Because of that I couldn't help it. I am just someone staring at someone else's memory, he doesn't see me at all but I still couldn't help it.

"I am here you know." I sat next to him, trying to comfort him the best I could even though I know it is futile. I know he won't see me.

But then, it seems I'm not the only one in the world that cares about this man.

"Father!"

"What are you doing on the floor!"

Kicking the door open I saw two people, a boy and a girl and I immediately realized who they are.

"Kaera, Aerim..."

Mr. Kim's children.

"Come here father, we will contact mom soon."

"I can't believe that those bastards are even going to my workplace. Assholes!"

Looking at it by the side, I couldn't help but smile. "You aren't alone after all Mr. Kim."

Then, everything began to disappear. But I'm not surprised this time. I know this feeling.

"He's waking up." 

I can feel my eyelids shaking even though I do not control it whatsoever.

I do not have control over my own body anymore, but still after watching Mr. Kim's memories.

"I hope you can find happiness, Mr Kim—no, Arianne."

And…

"Yawn."

It's tiring for me to peer into someone's memory like this, so I won't be able to talk to him soon.

I guess it's a goodnight for me.

•••

I woke up.

"Ugh...what the hell was that?" What kind of dream did I have that was essentially a recording of my life?

Everything from the highest of highs, to the lowest of lows. "Damn it..." And my lows are especially low.

But still, I smiled. Why?

"Aera..." I cannot believe I'm uttering a name from one of the five that betrayed me. I even smiled for God's sake.

"Thanks for not going to the trial." I don't want my former wife to appear in that O.J. level of a court. 

I look around my room and see a sleeping Miriam besides me, but besides that I'm alone and so I can speak for myself. "Like who'd give a trial to a person that hasn't even woken up from the hospital bed?" 

The fact that the bastard is still in critical condition and still has him become the prosecutor of a trial is hilarious. Even more so when the woman that the public has the most sympathies for isn't joining will be amazing.

I smile at what his clown show of a trial will be like when he wakes up.

I know I'm smiling like a devil right now but I don't care, in some cases I might actually be one. "I will never be a good person ever again." I'm haunting all five of them right now even when I'm dead.

"I guess I'm a fox then." A fox is someone that does devilish behavior without them meaning to do it in a bad way. 

I like that.

But anyways, grumble~

"I'm hungry."

I wanna eat now.

And before I leave I was reminded of the dream I had before, the other reason why I smiled.

"It's nice remembering my kids like that." They were all adults by then but they are still kids to me. Family truly is the greatest thing.

"Though I felt like someone we beside me then." How weird.
