I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 113

Chapter 57.1

Rowaine, who shook her head from side to side quickly with a painful sound, apologized.

“I’m sorry! I was wrong! Dimitri must have been shocked, too…”

Seeing her reaction, Dimitri uttered mercifully with a look of no concern at all.

“No. You did a great job. Madam Elbas’s expression was really worth looking at. I was very satisfied.”

Rowaine couldn’t raise her head and tried to run past him. However, Dimitri, with his long legs, easily caught up to her with his stride and persisted with tenacity.

“When are you planning to give birth? What’s the child’s name? Is it okay if I name it for you?”

“No way.”

“How about herbal medicine? That’d be useful.”

“Are you punishing me? I’ll apologize. I’m very sorry for the bombshell remarks without consultation, Dimitri.”

“What are you talking about? I just want to respect Rowaine’s will. Still, from now on, I want to hear about my family plans in advance.”

Narrowing her eyes, Rowaine’s gaze was focused on him to try to figure out his intentions.

“…For what?”

“My fun?”

“I knew it!”

She stared at Dimitri with a burning red face. Seeing Rowaine like that, he chuckled and shrugged.

“What are you going to do if you look at me so passionately you have frivolity in your stomach? Our child seems to be created just by the wife’s imagination, so you have to be careful.”

“Ah,really!”

In the end, Rowaine sped up her pace and ran away.

The smell of the fresh grass left in the air pleasantly stimulated the tip of Dimitri’s nose. It was the first time he knew that making fun of people was so much fun. He continued to laugh out loud.

‘I can’t even imagine how limitless her brain would be.’

It was so exhilarating that the words of Madam Elbas, who was being completely unreasonable, were completely blocked.

Dimitri was really excited.

Whenever he argued with Madame Elbas, countless sharp words were exchanged, and his voice would rise. The bloody tension always left him feeling terrible after their confrontations. However, when Rowaine was caught between them, the situation shifted entirely.

This was already the second time she had crushed Madame Elbas with her words and actions.

‘An interesting person.’

As he thought this, Dimitri gazed at Rowaine’s retreating back and grinned. He didn’t even realize just how happy he looked.

“….”

Cayetana’s eyes grew sharper as she saw Dimitri smiling with a very happy face in the distance in the hallway. Her clenched fists were expressing her feelings.

‘…How dare you smile like that?’

She couldn’t tolerate it.

Cayetana inevitably ground her teeth.

‘I can’t let that filthy bastard make a face like that.’

She didn’t come here to play. In fact, she had been concerned that Dimitri might be happy after the marriage and that he might have overcome the loneliness and sadness she had planted.

‘I can’t believe he’s smiling shamelessly while sitting on the duke’s seat that was supposed to be my children’s even after killing them.’

I won’t let it go.

With a flash of hatred in her eyes, Cayetana gave a sharp smile. She then called her own private maid.

“Betty.”

“Yes, Madam.”

“Go and find out if the Duchess’s pregnancy is real. In addition, find out if there are any flaws in the Duchess.”

“Yes, Madam.”

Betty, taking her orders, quietly retreated.

Even so, Cayetana stood still for a long while in the same spot, staring at Dimitri until he disappeared.

‘I’ll take revenge for my children… I’ll trample all his happiness and uproot it so that it doesn’t sprout. That mouth will surely make him confess his sins.’

Dimitri shouldn’t be happy.

It should’ve been her children, not Dimitri, who were enjoying everything and laughing happily.

‘…It should have been you who should have died on the battlefield, Dimitri.’

Hatred and anger filled her eyes.

At the same time, her hand trembled as she clutched her chest.

When Cayetana turned her head, her children were scattered throughout the Blois mansion. The children who crawled, walked, and ran around had become the joy of this place… Her precious children wouldn’t be hurt as long as they were always within her sight.

Even though she always maintained a composed expression, never showing it outwardly, Cayetana was still trapped in the moment she heard the news of her children’s deaths.

Her irreplaceable despair had turned toward Dimitri, fueled by victimization and delusion.

‘You shouldn’t be happy.’

Cayetana’s eyes darkened.

“I wish the Duchess was really pregnant.”

Then, she could present him with even greater despair.

The next morning.

Even though Madam Elbas and Grandmother Rosanne were visiting, my daily routine continued as usual. I was reviewing documents with Baron Seville Placen, who had recently been appointed as my aide.

From budgets and staffing to the estate’s welfare issues, there was much more I needed to learn than I had initially thought. Originally, these were all matters Dimitri had been handling, but ever since he gave me his office, he had been gradually passing the work over to me.
