I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 204

Chapter 102.2

“I made a pact with the demon! I’ll show you! Come out!”

In response to her shout, a massive demon with the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion appeared.

Roarrrrrr.

As the demon unleashed its power, the building shook as if an earthquake had occurred. At the same time, Sasha’s eyes sparkled at the thought of being able to test the power of the demon that had become her familiar. How strong would Abaddon be? How much of his power could she draw upon?

Just as curtains fluttered and furniture vibrated, there was the sound of a picture frame falling from the wall and breaking. She could see a frightened Coco climbing onto Rowaine’s shoulder and crouching on top of her head.

Sasha’s eyes sparkled with delight.

However, from somewhere, a mysterious figure swung a giant sword down towards Abaddon’s neck, who was unable to resist and disappeared into smoke.

In an instant, the wind and vibrations ceased, and everything became quiet.

“Oh, why!”

As Sasha’s enthusiasm was shattered, Dimitri gave her a loud smack on the back of her head.

“Ackk!”

A loud noise came from her head. While Sasha wiped a tear from her eye, thinking her brain might have exploded, Dimitri clicked his tongue.

“Are you going to take responsibility if the mansion blows up? Don’t bring it out recklessly until you’ve trained in how to deal with demons.”

Then he pointed at Rowaine, who was still sitting on the bed and crying.

“First of all, say hello to Rowaine and tell her you’re back. Spoiled brat.”

“Tsk.”

In the end, Sasha held on to Rowaine’s arms for about ten seconds and held her gently under Dimitri’s watch.

“I’m glad you’re safe…”

Hearing Rowaine’s happy voice, a smile blossomed on her face as well. And before she knew it, she had her arms around Rowaine’s neck and was clinging to her like a child.

For a brief moment, she had forgotten that she had become an adult as she was held in that warm and stable embrace.

It was the day after Sasha had successfully completed her contract with the demon and woke up.

I headed to the study, humming a cheerful tune.

‘Oh, I’m so relieved that Sasha woke up safely.’

Just that thought alone seemed to make everything was going to be okay somehow. Despite the fact that there was no real basis for it, my mood was so good that everything felt positively optimistic.

It truly felt like I had been going back and forth between heaven and hell all this time. When I saw Sasha was convulsing on my bed, my heart sank, and my hands trembled. However, the enormous stress that had been weighing on me vanished when I saw her wake up, and my heart felt lighter.

Confirming that my cat was safe made the world look different.

Nonetheless, that was short-lived.

As I glanced at the new report that Baron Placen had sent today on the study desk, thoughts of the cat shapeshifters suffering even at this moment due to malignant rumors crossed my mind. I sat down at my desk and pulled out the stiff paper I use to write official documents and a heavy seal bearing the emblem of Blois on it.

“Now that Sasha has also woken up… shall we start executing the plan in earnest?”

I wrote a letter stating my desire to the local lords to find and take away the cat shapeshifters from each region.

When it was sent to the administrators, numerous copies were quickly made.

Then, the following day, those official documents were delivered along with dozens of carriages, reaching not only the nearby territories but also the distant ones. Inside the carriages, there were cushions made from the fabric of the dresses I usually wore. It was a cushion of catnip, something to let down the guard of the cat shapeshifters and bring them together.

‘They say my scent attracts the cat shapeshifters…’

In medieval Europe, after the slaughter of cats, the rat population skyrocketed, leading to the uncontrollable spread of the Black Death. Taking note of this historical event, I hatched an absurd yet ambitious plan to bring all the cat shapeshifters in this area to our territory before they could be massacred.

‘The rat shapeshifters will go wild, and as a result, the number of people falling victim to the plagues they bring will increase uncontrollably.’

Humans would soon realize that when all the cat shapeshifters were gone, the rat shapeshifters would become even more rampant.

‘They will start missing the presence of the cat shapeshifters.’

At that point, people might inevitably try to buy cat shapeshifters as slaves to keep them in their territories. Nevertheless, there wasn’t much demand for cat shapeshifters initially, and the supply was limited. Even if they increase the supply then, it wouldn’t be possible to create cat shapeshifters like mass-produced goods in a factory.

So, what humans would look to was…

‘…Blois.’

I would embrace the cat shapeshifters and become the master of the world.

That was what I was aiming for.

‘…I’ll ensure that cats are never looked down upon again.’
