I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 182
Chapter 91.2
̊ · : * ✧ * : · ̊
A little while ago.
Dimitri was in an unusually great mood. From the moment he opened his eyes in the morning, he felt refreshed.
He took his time leisurely during the shower, which was quite unusual for him. Normally, the sensation of water on his body was unpleasant, so he hurried through the shower as quickly as possible. However, today was different.
Even the act of showering felt good today.
Moreover, he found himself glancing at his reflection in the mirror repeatedly, examining his own face over and over again.
‘I shouldn’t grow old.’
Since Rowaine said she didn’t like old men.
‘It has to shine brightly.’
She also mentioned that she liked dazzling smiles.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Dimitri curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing his teeth, as he experimented with various smiles.
‘She surely likes attractive people…’
After pondering for a while whether parting his bangs to the left or to the right would look better, he decided to remove the parting altogether and brushed his bangs back before eventually putting them back to how it was originally.
Then, he stared deeply into his own pupils.
“It’s very pretty… like a jewel. They are transparent.”
As his own pupils gazed back at him, his lips parted seductively.
Dimitri found himself lost in the memory of Rowaine’s lips. At the same time, he could still taste the sweetness still lingered on the tip of his tongue.
…Soft and enchanting.
A faint, trembling breath escaped his lips.
A while later, as he snapped back to his senses and stared at his own face in the mirror, he quickly turned away in disbelief when he saw himself grinning like a fool.
His face felt hot.
Engulfing with embarrassment, he shook his head and hurriedly put on his shirt, feeling like he had wasted too much time fooling around all morning. It was all because Rowaine had breakfast separately. Because of that, he had skipped the meal and spent too much time looking at himself in the mirror.
‘…What am I doing?’
Just when he was buttoning his shirt, Dimitri suddenly heard a deep male voice shouting from outside the window, “No!”
He knew exactly who that voice belonged to.
‘That b*stard is here since morning…’
His bedroom was located at the end of the western corridor, giving him a view of both the courtyard and the garden outside from the outer room. A fierce grimace contorted his expression as he looked down from the bedroom window, displeased.
“How dare he…”
Dimitri threw open the window and jumped straight down.
There, he saw Cadis leaning in close to Rowaine, touching her face.

“Don’t stop me. Isn’t this what he wanted to do anyway? It’s a fair punishment, Rowaine.”
I held Dimitri, who was growling violently and acting as if he would break Cadis’s wrists at any moment, into a tight embrace.
“Calm down, Dimitri!”
“It’s dangerous, so please stay back for a moment. It’ll be over soon.”
“Dimitri, wait a minute! No, where did that sword even come from?!”
“It’s nothing, Rowaine. I’m not aiming for your wrist but for that man’s. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“No matter whose wrist it is, it still matters!”
“It can’t be. It doesn’t matter who it belongs to.”
“Dimitri, please, put the sword down! Why are you acting so scary? I’m afraid because it feels like I might get hurt! Just put it down, and let’s talk for now!”
Fortunately, Dimitri lowered his sword and shifted his attention toward me. In the meantime, he had bound Cadis with Shedim, his demon. Catching a glimpse of the demon in the form of a serpent, I casually turned my head away but then widened my eyes and glanced back.
‘…I’m sure I’ve only ever seen it as black mist until now.’
However, there it was—an incredibly enormous, thick snake, large enough to swallow an elephant, clearly visible before me. Still, my surprise didn’t last long, as Dimitri was seething with anger, and I quickly diverted my gaze from the serpent to focus on soothing him.
“Dimitri, please listen to me. There’s something I need to talk to you about.”
“It won’t take long. Just take two steps back, close your eyes and take three deep breaths, and it will be over.”
“Dimitri.”
“Please step back.”
“Dimitri! It’s about last night!”
Only then did he calm his frustration and put the sword into the scabbard.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes tightly.
“I want to have a serious conversation with you about what happened last night.”
As I cautiously opened my eyes to observe his expression, to my surprise, Dimitri had a strange look on his face. He cleared his throat a couple of times before finally extending his hand toward me.
“Let’s go, Madam. A quiet place would be better.”
“I agree.”
Taking Dimitri’s hand and standing next to him, I signaled Cadis to run away quickly with my other hand.
