I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 123

Chapter 62.1

“There must be a good reason for establishing rules. Blindly and forcefully establishing ridiculous rules is nothing but bullying others.”

Saying so, Madam Elbas clicked her tongue as she began to force herself to cross the line under the guise of advice and went on.

“Oh, maybe it was on purpose? I didn’t notice. Did you rush it to establish authority over me by deliberately making me uncomfortable?”

“You’re the one who’s being pushy, Madam. If you ask the employees, they’ll quickly tell you that I have a severe allergy to pollen and have banned flowers.”

Actually, it was because of the cat, but it was right that the employees knew it like that.

“Employees tend to side with their employers.

Rebuking me, Madam Elbas held out her arm as if to look around the mansion.

“Look at this place. Blois was always beautiful, with fresh flowers and decorations. I was taught to take care of this place like that. But what about now? How desolate and empty is this place? It’s like a prison.”

…Prison. How could a prison be so magnificent and splendid?

Even without flowers, the main hall of Blois was resplendent with beautifully embossed carvings and gold ornaments.

“Besides, you look pretty well, Rowaine, considering that you have a severe allergy to pollen.”

After glancing me up and down, she touched her head before continuing her words.

“I can’t believe my daughter-in-law is looking down on me like this. I can’t even lift my head because I’m embarrassed to see the employees because of the condescending treatment.”

Then, with her miserable face, she let out a deep sigh, and the maids next to her rushed over to comfort her.

“Madam, don’t say that.”

“The Madam didn’t do anything wrong, so what do you mean by that?”

Weren’t they also just glancing at me with resentful eyes?

I clenched my fists tightly and let out a quick, hot breath.

‘This is how it turns out.’

Dimitri had been watching from the beginning as Rowaine stormed out of the drawing room and clashed with Cayetana. He was watching the scene without saying anything, but he couldn’t stay still because it seemed that Rowaine was being pushed around.

‘This is ridiculous.’

His teeth trembled at Cayetana’s disgusting insistence. Eventually, he got impatient and walked out of the corner.

“Don’t interfere.”

Rosanne’s stern voice tied his ankles.

“Grandmother.”

As he gazed at Rosanne without hiding his displeasure, she clicked her tongue.

“You’re still not wise. If you intervene, it’ll only make matters worse.”

Then, she glanced at Rowaine and Cayetana, narrowing her eyes as if assessing something.

As Dimitri looked at her, he thought the look in Rosanne’s eyes, which he occasionally caught, resembled that of someone observing a test subject. The longer he stared into her eyes, the more he felt as though he was being scrutinized, evaluated piece by piece.

It was a gaze that made people uneasy, and it wasn’t very pleasant. Based on her demeanor, Dimitri was convinced she always considered him beneath her.

“Aren’t you here to stir conflict and build your case anyway?”

He uttered the cold words and turned his back on Rosanne, heading toward Rowaine. His intention was to rescue her from the wicked Cayetana. But before Dimitri could reach them, Rosanne let out a sigh of disapproval and scolded Rowaine and Cayetana faster than he could intervene.

“What’s the fuss, all of you!”

Everyone’s eyes were on Rosanne, not Dimitri.

Stamping on the floor with her cane, she pushed Dimitri away and yelled at Rowaine and Cayetana.

“What are you doing in front of the people below you! Culture seems to have been thrown into a pig pen. Even if it ruins the family, it’s an oil fountain.”

As Rosanne alternated her fierce gaze between the two women, her eyes sharp like a predatory shapeshifter, both Rowaine and Cayetana lowered their eyes, unable to speak.

Still focused on Cayetana, she directed her scolding at Rowaine.

“It’s certainly wrong for Madam Elbas to break the rules. However, I’m deeply disappointed in you, Rowaine, for causing such a fuss instead of trying to communicate and understand each other. She didn’t act out of malice; she knew the situation.”

Rosanne clicked her tongue, muttering with a sigh.

“You’re young. Too young.”

Unnoticed by anyone, strange emotions flickered in her eyes as she shook her head, her gaze lingering on the young girl. To Rosanne, Rowaine appeared as fragile as Dimitri. On Rowaine’s face, which remained speechless, the anger, resentment, and regret she couldn’t hide were clearly visible.

‘There’s such a lingering feeling in her eyes. Dimitri certainly got a wife like me.’

Rowaine Larscel.

Rosanne had heard rumors that she was a wicked woman with no mercy or compassion. However, she was not much different from the puppy she raised at home, not even having her teeth fully grown, let alone a ruthless evil woman.
