I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 91
Chapter 91
* * *
The pursuit of Snow ended in vain.
Snow’s body seemed to fade away as if it lost its energy.
Thud-
Helena, who was flying to catch the fox with both hands, fell to the floor.
Several other servants fell in succession, and we stared blankly at the place where Snow had disappeared.
“There was definitely a fox… It’s our fault, Miss!”
The servants scrambled to their feet, their faces pale. No, but there was definitely Snow there, right?
Magic?
Looking at Helena, who was slightly wide-eyed, it didn’t seem like there was any flow of magic power.
‘Snow has evaporated!’
Sob, sob, I should have treated Snow better.
The divine beast made of divine power is leaving my side so meaninglessly!
I couldn’t forget the cute gestures and eyes. I staggered, feeling tears welling up.
“Snow…”
Just then.
[Look here, mistress.]
As I turned my head in the direction of the voice, the translucent fox-shaped figure that was circling around me moved.
‘Snow?’
[Now you recognize me.]
Did God answer my prayer? Snow must have wanted to see my face one last time before leaving.
‘Snow! I’ll do better. I’ll pet your fur more and hug you from now on.’
[What are you talking about, mistress? Thanks to the mistress’ awakening of divine power, I can now walk around as a spirit.]
‘What?’
For a moment, I blinked my eyes several times, not knowing what it meant. Did I hear things?
As I stared blankly at the figure that was blurring my vision, I heard another voice.
[Mistress?]
Only then did I realize that the figure in front of me was Snow. No, wait a minute.
‘How can you make yourself disappear?’
Using the divine power!
I’ve heard that with the power of God, all miracles can be performed. But to witness that miracle with my own eyes…
As I showed signs of calming down a little, Snow clicked its tongue briefly and continued.
[Originally, when mistress awakens divine power, I can borrow your divine power to transform into a spirit state.]
‘Really?’
[Yes. If I walk around in the form of a divine beast, it might raise suspicions, so I’ll stay in this state for a while. That way, I won’t be noticed by humans.]
‘Gasp! So, if I have your divine power, I can change my appearance freely?’
[The basic form is a fox.]
“Miss Rosette. Where did Snow go?”
Helena looked at me, nodding her head several times. I must have looked strange, my eyes darting around.
“Um, um.”
I cleared my throat and said softly, with a strange expression.
“It’s nothing. Snow will remain in our hearts, so don’t worry.”
“…Yes?”
“So, it’s not your fault. Shall we leave now?”
At my words with a sly smile, the servants who had been stunned quickly prepared.
“Is that so?”
When I subtly gave her a hint, Helena, who thought there were many ears listening, didn’t ask any further questions.
In fact, I haven’t had the time to pay attention to my surroundings because of Snow, who has been moving around frantically since earlier.
‘Stop moving.’
In the end, Snow, who had become a spirit, climbed onto my shoulder. A little later, we got into the carriage together.
[A divine beast must stay close to its mistress.]
‘Is that right?’
[Hmph! You’re ignoring me too much!]
I ignored Snow, who was wagging its tail triumphantly, and looked around the inside of the carriage.
It was the first time I had been in such a luxurious carriage, except for when I attended a banquet with Kiris.
When I was alone in the carriage with Helena, she lowered her voice and asked.
“Miss Rosette. What happened to Snow?”
“Snow has transformed into a spirit. It said it could change its form using my divine power. Can’t you see Snow now?”
“Yes. That’s a relief. I was wondering because I didn’t feel any magic power earlier, but my question has been answered.”
Helena nodded at my explanation.
“But Helena.”
“Yes?”
“…You knew about this, didn’t you? Why didn’t you say anything….”
At my sigh mixed with a lament, Helena avoided my gaze.
“I’m sorry.”
“….”
If you apologize like that, I have nothing to say!
“But does Marquis Kanilaen only know me as his benefactor?”
At my words, Helena, who had been looking into the distance, shook her head.
“I don’t know. I think my brother made a promise in advance.”
“So you really found out by chance.”
Ailt still felt guilty about not being able to save me.
I explained that it wasn’t a situation where he could have saved me, but it didn’t seem to sink in at all.
