I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 133
Chapter 67.1
It wasn’t until dawn that she finally managed to shake off the nightmare, waking up drenched in sweat. However, barely awake, she soon collapsed back into bed again.
“Ugh… heuk…”
For some reason, she had no energy.
A wave of extreme helplessness swept over her. Her energy had been stolen by the devil, though there was no way for Cayetana to understand that now.
As she sweated profusely and thirst consumed her, she couldn’t regain her senses and was seized by the nightmare once more.
The true terror of a dream demon was that it could cause death through the mental shock of its nightmares. Even if someone survived the ordeal and woke up, a human deprived of their spirit could die in their sleep if there were no one to care for them.
Cayetana had many servants to tend to her so she wouldn’t die. However, for the next few days, she would have to fight the demon without even knowing.

“Sleeping in late… As far as I know, Madam Elbas never overslept. I’m sure her pride was hurt, so she’s shutting herself in because of what happened yesterday.”
Agwen spoke sharply, knowing that Madam Elbas hadn’t woken up and didn’t show up for breakfast. Nonetheless, my thoughts were a bit different.
‘I thought you’d show up with a casual face. It’s surprising.’
As far as I know, Madam Elbas was a shameless person. Still, it was so trivial that such a person skipped breakfast though I didn’t want to bother with that.
I changed the topic and asked Agwen.
“But, why did Dimitri close off the east corridor on the fourth floor?”
“Well, the rat shapeshifters appeared overnight!”
“A rat shapeshifter?”
“Since it turns into a rat and passes through the drainage channel, it’s said that the Imperial Palace went into a frenzy before as well. It could be anywhere. However, after the Duke returned from the battlefield, all the rats, let alone the rat shapeshifters, disappeared from this mansion…”
I heard something similar when I went to hunt the rat shapeshifter’s nightmare demon with Coco before. That was why we had to go all the way there to find the rat shapeshifters.
“Looks like they haven’t heard rumors that cats are holding out in Blois.”
“I hear rumors travel fast among rat shapeshifters, but it doesn’t seem like that. Anyway, they said the eastern hallway was closed for disinfection, but Madam Elbas got caught.”
In the eastern hallway on the fourth floor, Madam Elbas was currently staying.
“If she doesn’t feel uncomfortable, she could continue to use it, but if she feels uncomfortable, she’ll move.”
There were many rooms in the mansion, so if she wanted to move, she could move anytime. It wasn’t a big deal, either.
‘It’s a waste of attention.’
After time and energy were wasted, I decided to put aside thoughts about Madam Elbas and sat down in front of the mirror.
“My skin is much better than yesterday, don’t you think so?”
“It still looks painful…”
Agwen smiled awkwardly as if she couldn’t agree. Still, her agreement wasn’t that important, so I shrugged and got up before leaving the room.
“I’m curious about what Coco and Sasha are doing, so I’m going to go to the annex.”
For me, who suffered from ‘cat separation anxiety,’ as I would become anxious when separated from cats, seeing Coco and Sasha was a must for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was a mental problem, a chronic disease that couldn’t be cured even with my healing ability.
‘Anyway, that’s right. Let’s go, I need mental healing through cats.’
However, in the front yard of the annex, there was someone who came before me.
“Dimitri?”
“Rowaine.”
Dimitri glanced at me while saying something serious in front of Coco and Sasha.
“What are you doing?”
As I approached with a question, Dimitri’s expression when he saw me was strange. For some reason, he twitched his face with the corners of her mouth raised unnaturally…
‘Does my face still look bad?’
He had an expression of seeing something he couldn’t see. Yes, that expression was certain.
‘…Still, the blisters have subsided a lot, and the spots have improved.’
The effect of the treatment was quite good even though my face wasn’t treated with my healing ability but was left to heal naturally with the treatment given by Tyra.
“Is it very bad?”
When asked sullenly, Dimitri shook his head with a cold face.
“No.”
“…Your expression can’t lie.”
“I’m smiling.”
“You’re lying.”
“No, I’m not.”
It was because while he was smiling as he said, he was still avoiding his eyes and keeping a stiff face.
“I’ll get better soon. In four days or so, it won’t even show.”
“What if you just treat it?”
“Then, wouldn’t people think it’s strange?”
“The rate of recovery varies from person to person. Tell them that you have a constitution that heals quickly.”
“There’s a degree, though.”
At my words, Dimitri stared at me.
