I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 134

Chapter 67.2

As his glassy eyes stared at me, it felt like they were piercing right through me, and I grew nervous. It’s always unsettling when a cat stares at you like that. Then, suddenly, he frowned, a scornful expression crossing his face after staring at me for a while.

‘No way… is he frowning at someone else’s face?’

His lips pressed into a pout of disappointment.

“Is it really that bad?”

Dimitri, who had been looking at me as though he didn’t want to answer the same question again, sighed and spoke in an exasperated, high-pitched voice.

“It looks like you’re in so much pain, Rowaine… Can’t you just heal it faster? After that, we could take a four-day vacation away from the public eye…!”

Unable to finish his words, he stared at me with a teary face.

I opened my mouth and looked at him like that.

‘A face that looks like he’s about to cry…’

Even though there were no tears, his big, sad eyes and pursed lips looked like a child holding back tears. I was embarrassed and couldn’t think of what to say after seeing that face. However, Dimitri bit his lips and apologized as if he thought I was angry after not knowing what to say.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to get angry.”

He was angry?

‘He doesn’t know what kind of expression he’s making right now?’

The muscles in my face started to twitch, and soon, the corners of my lips twitched wildly. Somehow, the sadness that had accumulated overnight had melted away like spring snow.

“Although I was sick yesterday, today, it doesn’t hurt that much. Only my face was like this, but all other areas were treated. So, don’t worry too much.”

“Then, why are you smiling?”

“Smiling? I’m not.”

“Isn’t your face smiling?”

“No, it isn’t.”

“You’re lying.”

“I’m not.”

At that time, the audience, whose existences were forgotten, expressed their dissatisfaction and stuck their nails into the trunk of a tree.

“What are you two doing together?! Can’t you see us?”

“Look at me. Look at me…!”

It was a rebellion of domesticated cats whose patience was at its limit.

“So, what were you doing?”

Dimitri, who seemed to be in a better mood, explained with a haughty face.

“I was thinking about teaching these guys how to make a contract with the devils. They need to know how to protect themselves, so there won’t be any trouble like this time again.”

There was a glimpse of hatred towards someone on his face. He must have been thinking of Madam Elbas. He seemed to suspect that Madam Elbas had deliberately brought in the lilies to harm Sasha. Meanwhile, Coco and Sasha’s ears perked up at the words that they would teach them how to make a contract with the devil. So did my ears.

“Any cat can do that?”

If Coco and Sasha could make a pact with the devils to become as strong as Dimitri, then I was all for it.

When I asked with sparkling eyes, Sasha raised her hand and interrupted.

“Sasha can do it! I’m a strong cat! But he can’t since he’s weak.”

When she pointed at Coco as if to tease him, I quickly stopped her from doing that.

“You can’t do that to Coco. He’s also strong when it comes to strength.”

“Right! There’s something I’m good at, too. I was the one who helped Rowaine a lot!”

Coco immediately shouted with a face that felt unfair and climbed up on top of my head. His eyes were droopy for a cat, so it seemed as if he was pouting slightly. Nevertheless, his expression of resentment was more prominent.

‘Aw, he’s upset. Aigoo~’

He looked just as cute to me.

I glanced at Dimitri, trying hard not to show affection for the upset Coco. It was meant for him to severely intervene between them. However, he scoffed at Coco and Sasha because of how he interpreted the look in my eyes.

“Kids.”

“….!”

“Even if you make a contract with the devil, a kid is just a kid.”

The next moment, he arrogantly looked down at the cats, which was really astounding. I glared at him with the intention of not discouraging the children, but he proudly ignored my gaze.

“Of course, a child who made a contract with the devil can become a little stronger… if only you could make a contract.”

Coco, who sat with my head in her arms, surprisingly didn’t say anything. Only Sasha asked excitedly.

“I can do it! What should I do?”

Dimitri answered calmly.

“You can risk your life.”

I knew that in this world, feline shapeshifters made contracts with demons with their lives as collateral. Still, I couldn’t quite imagine how that would actually work.

I asked lightheartedly, feeling the trust in Dimitri’s calm expression.

“It’s not dangerous, right?:

“Don’t you know what it means to risk your life?”

He tilted his head, asking back.

“…You mean literally?”

…The trust has been broken.
