I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 190

Chapter 95.2

The fear I had been holding back forcefully exploded because of Sasha, and I just couldn’t calm down at all. Even the sound of branches snapping under my feet felt like a challenge.

I didn’t even consider that I might be a burden to Dimitri or that I could be inconveniencing him. Such thoughts were things I could consider when I had a bit of room to spare, but right now, I was solely focused on life and death on my own.

“Rowaine, maybe you should go back to the mansion and wait. I’ll bring Sasha back safely…”

“No, no! I don’t want to…!”

Even though I was terrified to death, this was an issue that I couldn’t compromise on because this might be the last time I see Sasha. So, I wanted to witness every step of the process with my own eyes.

Wiping away tears with my sleeve, I struggled to compose myself.

“Alright, I’m coming. Without being overly dramatic… mother!”

The moment I pulled away from Dimitri, resolving to strengthen my heart, I jumped and clung to him again when I felt something tugging on my sleeve.

Dimitri was the only one I could rely on in this situation.

“It’s a tree branch, Rowaine.”

Even though I must have been annoying, he patiently reassured me with remarkable patience. I apologized, dampening his chest with tears.

“I’m sorry, but I really want to go with you. So if you just give me a moment, I’ll calm down. Just a moment…”

He whispered in my ear with a smirk.

“It’s going to be all night at this rate.”

“Oh, no. No, it’s okay. It’ll just take a moment. Hoo, haaa, huuuh. Actually, would you rather knock me out and take me there?”

“Knock… you out?”

“I thought people faint when you hit them on the back of their necks.”

“There’s a risk of breaking the neck bone if you do it wrong, and that would be incredibly painful.”

“Between feeling like I’m dying and feeling incredibly painful, which one is better?”

Dimitri chuckled softly at my words. His movements of shaking his head could be felt distinctly through our connected bodies.

I wondered if that leisurely and gentle laughter had somehow comforted me since my heart became noticeably calmer. It was only then that I began to sense a pleasant fragrance I hadn’t noticed before. A warm scent emanated from his sun-dried clothes.

It swiftly helped soothe me.

‘Okay, it’s alright… I can go. I’m not scared at all.”

I slowly opened my tightly shut eyes and pulled myself away from Dimitri. As I tried to take a step forward, I felt an emptiness in my hand.

‘Ah. Come to think of it, I threw the magic lantern in panic…’

Simultaneously, I remembered how I had panicked and stopped Dimitri from retrieving the fallen lamp earlier.

“Dimitri…”

When I gazed up at him with a pitiful expression, he smiled and spoke reassuringly.

“Just take two deep breaths, and I’ll go get it quickly.”

“I’m sorry…”

‘Should I encourage Coco and make a contract with the demon? It’s too disappointing to finish this only once.’

Turning away from Rowaine, Dimitri leaped down from the cliff path below to retrieve the magic lamp as he grinned wickedly like a demon.

Even though he could have just ordered Shedim to fetch it, the only reason he came down himself was because the scared Rowaine was too cute. Moreover, he really liked the fact that her scent was lingering all over his body.

Humming a soft tune under his breath, as he made a strong leap and landed near where Rowaine was, he could see her crouching on the ground, huddled up.

“Are you okay, Rowaine?”

Trying to stifle his laughter, he asked as she lifted her head. Before he knew it, her face was now covered in tears once again.

She clung to him, crying like a child.

“Was that Dimitri humming? I thought it was some creature crawling out… hngh.”

Dimitri covered his face with one hand for a moment to hide his expression. Then, with his eyes closed tightly and suppressing his laughter, he proposed with a serious face.

“It might be better if you ride on my back at this rate. It won’t do if it gets bright outside.”

“I, I don’t want that!”

‘Does she still have the energy left to be stubborn?’

Just as he thought to himself while biting his tongue in regret, Rowaine opened her mouth again with a sob.

“Well then, huuk, but I’m scared of what could be behind my back…”

‘She’s so cute I’m dying.’

To think she was hiding such an adorable appearance. What would she have done if he hadn’t come?

‘…The kiss was a mistake?’

Dimitri’s eyes narrowed.

‘It doesn’t matter. Because one day, we’ll have a kiss that’s not a mistake.’

The image of Rowaine trembling nervously brought back memories of the first day she came to Blois as she boldly invaded his bedroom without hesitation and touched his face with her palm.

But what about now?

“Would it be too difficult to carry and take me there in your arms…?”

“No problem.”

“Thank you… and I’m sorry. I’m such a coward.”

“Not at all.”

Dimitri extended his arms, embracing Levayne into his own hold, and as he looked at Levayne snuggling against his neck, he wore a contented smile.

As he extended his arms, a contented smile painted broadly on his face as he gazed at Rowaine, who threw herself towards him and hugged his neck.

‘There’s no need to rush.’

He held her dearly.

As always, a pleasant scent exuded from Rowaine. It was such an intoxicating scent that it made his heart ache.
