I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 127

Chapter 64.1

In the meantime, my maid, Liddell, soon approached cautiously.

“…The-the Duke is waiting at the door, what should I do?”

While groaning, I opened my eyes.

I hadn’t said anything to Dimitri about this because he would think it was reckless and opposed. Besides, if he saw me now, he would tell me to stop doing useless things and recover my body with my healing ability immediately.

Also, I didn’t want to worry him by showing him my blistered body. Even though I had instructed in advance through Agwen to stop Dimitri, I was still uneasy.

“Grandmother…”

As I thought so, I grabbed Grandmother Rosanne’s hand, and she lifted her body and bowed close to me.

“What’s the matter, Rowaine?”

“Not Dimitri, he can’t…”

“He can’t?”

“I don’t want to show him this… It’s going to be pretty ugly, and I would worry a lot…”

When I spoke pitifully, Grandmother let out a deep sigh and nodded her head.

“All right. I won’t let him in.”

Then, Grandmother Rosanne turned to the door and spoke.

“Stay there, Dimitri. Rowaine is naked, so you’d better not come.”

Dimitri’s protesting voice could be heard outside, but he wasn’t able to enter. Instead, Madam Elbas, summoned by Grandmother Rosanne, entered the room with a displeased tone.

“You make Mother come all this way over allergies. You really have a talent for making a fuss in the house over trivial matters, Rowaine.”

Grandmother Rosanne, who had been shielding my body up until that moment, turned sharply and yelled at her in a high-pitched voice.

“What do you mean by ‘trivial’? There’s nothing trivial about someone being sick! It’s only natural for family members to look after each other when they’re ill. What kind of talk is this? Come here and see for yourself, Cayetana. How is this trivial?”

Madam Elbas uttered in a slightly surprised voice at Grandmother Rosanne’s sudden angry behavior.

“Mother, why are you raising your voice…”

Then, her voice was cut off as if she had found me lying behind Grandmother.

I opened her eyes thinly and looked at Madam Elbas, who lost her words, wondering what kind of face she was making. Frowning at me, she had a half-disgusted and half-exasperated expression. It seemed that she was slightly puzzled.

It was a face that, if thought in a vulgar language, would be ‘Sh*t.’

“Mother, do you think it makes sense for her to be like this just because of a pollen allergy?”

She spoke as if defending herself. However, those words seemed to turn Grandmother Rosanne’s stomach upside down.

“Is that what you mean when you see a child lying down like that?”

“….”

“Tell me. Is it true that even after knowing that Rowaine was severely allergic to lilies, you acted on your own like that?”

“….”

“If I lose even my great-grandson because of your noble taste, how will you take responsibility for this?!”

“Mother, would she have a miscarriage because of pollen allergy—”

“Look at the state of this child! Do you think the child in her stomach is going to grow up properly?!”

“….”

“It’s already her first pregnancy, but what about Rowaine’s condition? You need to know how to change your mindset. Don’t you know that even a drop of drinking water during pregnancy is bad for the child?”

“….”

Grandmother Rosanne stopped yelling for a moment before glancing around at the surroundings.

“What are you looking at? I’d be affronted if there were people out there who are skeptical about today’s incident. Let everyone leave except for the person involved.”

When all of my maids, Madam Elbas’ people, and even Tyra went outside, Grandmother lowered her voice and scolded Madam Elbas in earnest.

“Cayetana. As an adult in Blois, be wise and admit your faults. You were careless this time.”

“But Mother…!”

“…But? What do you mean, but? Go ahead and apologize to Rowaine.”

At that moment, I seemed to know what I should do to further upset Madam Elbas.

“Uung… Grandmother…”

As I let out a groan and called for Grandmother Rosanne, Grandmother glanced at me with a pitiful face.

I spoke in the softest voice I could.

“Don’t criticize Madam Elbas too much. It was because there were too many lilies. I didn’t know it would end like this, but Madam Elbas couldn’t have imagined it any more than me. I’m… I’m fine. As long as my child is okay, I…”

What I said was the angelic version of implying that Madam Elbas was the culprit, and if anything happened to the child, it would be entirely her fault. I didn’t need to force tears since my body was already in so much pain that they flowed naturally.

In response to my tearful display of kindness, Grandmother Rosanne sighed and spoke firmly.

‘Don’t cry, Rowaine.’

‘She’s not someone who’s swayed by emotions,’ I thought.

Under the weight of Grandmother Rosanne’s charisma, I quickly shut my mouth. While I immediately lowered my guard, Grandmother continued to glare at Madam Elbas, her gaze growing even more intimidating, likely because Madam Elbas still appeared dismissive.

“What are you doing? Apologize.”
