I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 108

Chapter 54.2

“Please keep it a secret that I tried to use unknown powers on you.”

“Yes.”

“It only makes you feel uncomfortable even though there’s nothing wrong with your body, right?”

“It was a little awkward because it collided with the mana I had, but…”

He showed me his wounds.

“Fascinatingly, I’m no longer in pain. Did you heal me?”

Hearing these words, I noticed that his wound had stopped bleeding, and new flesh had sprouted from it.

‘It’s working.’

Even if the mana of each kind of shapeshifter were different, the effect seemed to be applied as it was.

“If anyone asks, don’t say anything and just say that I used very expensive and good medicine.”

“Yes. I will.”

Then, I applied a plaster to his wound and carefully wrapped him with bandages. I had to send him back to Herman.

As I was about to get up, Cadis spoke to me one last time.

“Thank you, Eunsoo.”

I could see the infinite trust and gratitude in his eyes. There was a resounding sincerity that took my breath away. It was too straight and strong for me to bear, and I was rather tormented by the regret that I could not get him out of the pain.

In the end, I could not bear it anymore and turned my head away.

As I went out to the front door with Cadis, Herman, who had already packed up and was preparing to return to the Imperial Palace, welcomed me.

“Good morning, Duchess.”

I felt like punching at the grinning face, but I preserved and handed Cadis over to his servant.

“As you must have heard from the servants, it was noisy outside, and when I went out, your servants were harassing this shapeshifter.”

“Oh, dear. My people have been behaving rudely and disrespecting the Duchess. I don’t know how to apologize. Please forgive me. I’ll also make sure to keep them under control.”

After he shamelessly apologized, Herman shuddered at the sight of the badges on Cadis.

“Did you treat that hound yourself?”

While I did not know why he was testing me, I was equally brazen in his face.

“Since we had a very satisfactory deal with His Majesty, we’re only doing our due diligence to the Emperor’s hounds in consideration of our trust. It’s not a big deal, so there’s nothing to be thankful for.”

“Is that so?”

Herman smiled softly before uttering meaningfully.

“You’ve changed a lot.”

I did not panic and responded with a smile, pretending to be pleasant.

“Let’s take that as a compliment.”

“Of course. As the Duchess said, it must be thanks to a happy marriage.”

I nodded as I watched Dimitri gracefully descending the stairs in perfect shape just in time.

“My husband has changed me a lot. Thanks to that, I deeply realized how wrong I was in the past and reflected deeply. In the past, I used to be such a shameful person.”

It meant that Dimitri had changed my perception of the shapeshifters considerably.

‘If you say this, he wouldn’t think of me as weird.’

If he perhaps thought that I was acting strange after seeing me being nice to Cadis, this would nip off the seeds of doubt.

“Aha… I see.”

Herman nodded his head with a peculiar face.

As Dimitri approached with an expressionless expression and asked, “Have you not gone yet? How long are you going to be crushing me?” and threatened him, our conversation ended just like that. Herman had no choice but to leave as if he had been kicked out of the mansion.

Staring at the carriage for a while, he then looked back at me and coughed.

“Good morning, Rowaine.”

His complexion looked so bright that I could not help but ask about his sleep last night.

“You must’ve had a good night’s sleep, Dimitri. Your complexion looks good. Did you have a good dream?”

However, he suddenly blushed in surprise.

“It, it’s not like that.”

Soon, he disappeared as if he was running away. Looking at his back as he was heading up the stairs, I tilted my head.

“Is Blue still in the room? Should I take him to the annex and have a morning hunting game together?”

I felt at peace after a long time.

The problem with the Emperor was resolved very satisfactorily, and all the hounds he had taken hostage were sent back. Although I had a sad feeling about Cadis’ situation, I was about to establish a good relationship with him anyway, so I thought I might have escaped the fate of being executed as a villain.

Now, all I have left to do is enjoy a peaceful time with my lovely cats.

…But after a few hours, I realized that I had been mistaken.
