I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 130

Chapter 65.2

“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind.”

“You may not know, but when Cayetana invited you to Elbas the other day, she called only friends she could trust since she was trying to keep what happened there from leaking out.”

“Is that so?”

It was a really surprising fact.

‘I was somehow curious that the matter hadn’t grown and quieted down. That’s what it was.’

In addition, Madam Elbas was obviously trying to pick flaws in Dimitri or me with the elders, but it was strange.

‘She thought that trying to provoke me was going to work, but it failed because I did something ridiculous.’

You never know. It could be that Grandmother Rosanne was glorifying her, or perhaps Madam Elbas had other plans in mind. Considering how Madam Elbas operated in the original novel, it was never just simple harassment. But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out why she covered things up.

‘Maybe she’s deceiving Grandmother Rosanne.’

Honestly, if I hadn’t read the original novel, I would’ve trusted what Grandmother was saying without question. But knowing what Madam Elbas was like in the original, it seemed wise not to let my guard down.

As I pondered, Grandmother Rosanne’s words continued.

“I know what she did to you, and I don’t think it was right. But still, she knows how to keep her boundaries. That’s what I wanted to say.”

Through her words, I understood instantly what Grandmother valued. She acted for Blois, and because of that, she wanted to protect the honor and dignity of her family.

‘Grandmother Rosanne is the guardian of Blois… She’s on nobody’s side but also on everyone’s side.’

Then, why did she disapprove of Dimitri when she let him receive the title of the Duke?

‘When, in fact, she anxiously hopes that Dimitri will do well more than anyone else.’

Dimitri, who came to know all the circumstances belatedly, showed a calmer reaction than expected. What he said was…

“I see.”

“I understand.”

“Please take a rest.”

…That was all.

‘Since I have the ability to heal, it would be a natural reaction that he didn’t take the skin disease too seriously.’

Even though I thought so, I was a little saddened by Dimitri’s back as he walked out of my room as if he had more important things to do.

‘…I thought he’d be a little worried.’

It was embarrassing that I had kept it a secret, fearing that he would ruin the plan out of concern for me.

‘If I knew he’d be like that, I wouldn’t have to keep it a secret.’

As I took one look at myself in the mirror, the areas covered by clothes were completely treated while blisters and redness still remained on the exposed hands, neck, and face. It was intended to heal gradually over several days so as not to arouse suspicion.

‘Still, it looks quite painful.’

Such an indifferent reaction…

I thought it would be because he knew that I could get better if I decided to heal, but I couldn’t help but feel sad.

‘…It’s sad that he didn’t really worry, even though I hoped he wouldn’t worry.’

I didn’t know why people’s hearts were like this.

Dimitri’s nonchalant reaction calmed me down a little after I received an apology from Madam Elbas.

I waited until late at night when the mansion was still sleeping and went out to the patronage to change my mood. However, in the backyard, cats were unexpectedly running wild.

“You guys!”

When I found Sasha and Coco hopping around in cat forms to catch birds, I put my hands on my hips and called out to them.

The frightened cats opened their eyes wide and gazed at me.

“Why aren’t you sleeping yet and playing here?”

As I strode closer, Coco and Sasha scrambled hurriedly and made excuses.

“I slept during the day!”

“We’re nocturnal!”

“I told you to sleep when it is very dark and wake up early when the sun rises!”

It was true that cats were nocturnal, but in reality, their peak activity time was around dawn.

Even so, domestic cats understood they could sleep at night and be active during the day, adapting to their environment. Beyond that, I decided that since Coco and Sasha would be living in human society from now on, it would be better for them to align their daily rhythms with humans. I was educating them accordingly.

‘Dimitri is doing the same.’

The little cats, noticing my face belatedly, came closer in surprise.

“What’s wrong with your face, angel?”

“Is Rowaine sick?”

“No, I’m fine. It’s just a little itchy. What were you guys doing here anyway?”

Still placing my hand on my waist, I asked again as if urging and Coco and Sasha pointed at one place with their blunt paws.

“I was learning from watching Blue hunt, Angel.”
