I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 225

Chapter 113.1

Upon arriving at the Blois Mansion, I was astonished at the sight that unfolded as soon as I stepped out of the carriage.

“The garden…”

The once beautiful garden had turned into a complete battlefield.

“How fierce was the battle?”

When I asked anxiously, Butler Derek shook his head in response.

“Actually, it wasn’t that intense, Madam.”

“Huh…?”

As I was wondering, perplexed by his words, Coco, in the form of a cat, suddenly appeared from somewhere, nuzzled my leg, and started talking.

“Sasha did that. We all had a hard time stopping her from going on a rampage. Other than that, it was easy.”

“Is everyone unharmed?”

“If Sasha had been less excited, things might have been safer, but for now, no one is seriously hurt.”

Feeling relieved by those words, I quickly entered the mansion.

“Derek, what about Dimitri? Is the doctor attending to him?”

As I rushed to Dimitri’s bedroom and asked, the butler gave a vague response.

“Master… Anyway, please go upstairs. I’m sure he’s waiting for the Madam.”

‘…Is his condition so serious that they can’t talk about it?’

I was so caught up in anxiety and worry as I rushed towards Dimitri that I didn’t notice that the butler’s expression was so calm as he said that.

‘Dimitri… Just wait a little longer.’

When I saw Dimitri’s bedroom door, the tears that I had tried so hard to hold back welled up again. The sight of him being attacked was so shocking, and when I thought of his sword falling to the ground and his arm hanging down, the whole thing seemed like a nightmare.

I hurriedly opened the bedroom door and stepped inside.

However, the room was strangely quiet.

There was no sign of Hyle or the doctor, or even at least the employees. I was a little taken aback as I expected people to be moving around in a hurry, busy treating his wounds. Feeling a mix of strangeness and unease, I approached Dimitri’s bed slowly.

Dimitri was lying on the bed as if he was lifeless.

‘…Has the treatment already been completed?’

Perhaps the wounds may not have been as deep as I thought, so the treatment was finished quickly.

‘If that’s the case, it’s fortunate…’

He seemed to have fallen asleep, so I cautiously approached him, trying not to make any footsteps. Anyway, it seemed like I would feel more relieved if I examined the wounds myself.

The moonlight streaming in through the window illuminated Dimitri’s figure. As I looked at him up close, his complexion as he closed his eyes looked so pale that my heart sank. I carefully removed the blanket and tightly held his hand. Seeing him lying there injured, I couldn’t help but tear up.

I quietly used my power, letting it flow into his body. However, at that moment, as if strength flowed into his hand, his body suddenly twitched.

“Acck!”

Losing my balance and collapsing on top of Dimitri, I stared up at him with my eyes wide open.

Before I knew it, Dimitri’s eyes were open.

“ A-are you awake?”

I tried to get up with a bed in a panic and not to touch his wounds, but he wrapped his arms around my lower back waist and gently pressed me down.

“….?”

Lying down on top of him, I gazed down at him and moved my eyes around in confusion.

“What… are you doing?”

“Were you worried?”

He stroked his fingers from my eye down to my cheek. The area felt dry, as the tear stains had dried together with the crust of blood from Count Schdental.

I shook my head and pushed his hand away.

“Instead of staying like this, let me quickly treat your wounds. Even though it may not be that deep, adding more could be dangerous…”

I tried to pull myself up, trying to avoid his gaze, but he wouldn’t let me go.

“Dimitri?”

“I asked if you were worried.”

I felt like I knew the identity of the overflowing emotions in his emerald eyes when he asked that question. So, for no reason, I rambled on unnecessary details to a response that could’ve been short.

“Of course! Why wouldn’t I be worried? Anyone would be worried if someone close to them got hurt.”

Dimitri furrowed his brow.

“Anyone?”

As he suddenly sat up, I stumbled and ended up sitting awkwardly on his lap. He clasped his fingers around mine, holding my hand firmly. With both hands secured, it wasn’t easy to push him away. Even when I tried to pull back, he simply drew my hand, maintaining a certain distance as he opened his mouth again.

“Anyone would’ve been worried this much? Not necessarily because of me, right? So, are you telling me not to get carried away?”

“Let go of me…”

“Don’t be ridiculous. You can resist more if you want. If you really hate it, you can outright refuse. You’re the one not pushing me away.”

His face was so close that his hot breath touched my lips.

Half-closed eyes beneath lowered eyelashes watched my lips with desire.

“You wouldn’t allow just anyone to do this.”

Our lips met.

When his soft flesh wrapped around me, I could feel the warmth. His hand wrapped around the back of my neck and pulled me close. Our upper bodies were pressed close together, and our body temperatures mingled.

As I flinched and stiffened my muscles, he stroked my lower back soothingly and delved deeper.

I wondered why. Even though I could’ve raised my hand and pushed him away, I found myself just grasping his shoulders and leaning onto him. Perhaps it was because I was just overwhelmed with relief that he was safe, and then caught off guard by the unexpected situation? It could have been that I couldn’t reject Dimitri firmly as I had just seen his pitiful figure lying there helpless.

No, I don’t know anything anymore. I just wanted to focus on the pleasant sensation right now. The reasons I didn’t want to reject him didn’t really matter at that moment. I didn’t want to think about what would happen next.
