I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 248

Chapter 124.2

Being together would bring them closer, and perhaps it would create opportunities for her to open her heart. Although he absolutely despised parties and social gatherings, he felt he was going to really enjoy them from now on.

‘Because Rowaine is there.’

She didn’t believe in love, and that was why she rejected him.

‘It’s not that she doesn’t like me.’

If it was just a matter of faith, wouldn’t it be okay to just let her believe him? He wasn’t discouraged, nor did he have any intention of giving up.

Two days after that. It was the morning they had decided to roughly sort out the affairs here and depart for the capital.

As soon as Dimitri woke up in bed, he ran his hands over his body.

‘Phew. I haven’t changed.’

He was relieved to see that he had woken up in human form. Even though he usually slept in the cat form, he had been practicing sleeping in human form for the past two days.

You never know

Despite the fact that Rowaine and he were using separate rooms right now, once they reached the capital, there was a chance or even multiple chances, that they could end up sharing a room.

‘Townhouses in the capital usually have shared bedrooms for couples.’

Dimitri got out of bed, satisfied with the fact that he had maintained his human form even while sleeping. He was so excited about leaving for the capital with Rowaine that he didn’t notice that his robe had slipped completely off while he was tossing and turning in bed or realize the presence of gray fur left behind on the blanket.

‘I should send Hyle in first and have him destroy all the beds in the guest room.’

Just in case she might try to escape to the guest room.

Rubbing his face against the cushion Rowaine had made for him before, he devised a mischievous plan.

The sound of him purring contentedly spread softly throughout the room.

The departure was a little later than expected. It was because Sasha grabbed and clung to Rowaine as she tried to get onto the carriage.

“Where are you going? Leaving me behind!”

“I’ll be right back, Sasha. Just wait a little, okay?”

Flustered, she tried to soothe Sasha. In the meanwhile, while Rowaine remained composed beside her, Coco pretended to be patient, though his tail was wagging constantly as if he was anxious.

“When are you coming back, Rowaine?”

In response to Coco’s question, Dimitri, who had entered the carriage first and sat down, leaned back arrogantly and responded with a smirk.

“When the seasons change?”

“….!”

All three of them were taken aback and stared at Dimitri in surprise.

“Are you going to stay that long, Dimitri?”

“No! No!”

“S-Seasons…”

Dimitri shrugged nonchalantly as he looked at the startled Rowaine, Sasha, who had collapsed to the ground, and the dejected Coco.

“If we like it there, we can stay there until we’re bored of it.”

Thinking he was joking, Rowaine awkwardly laughed and reassured Sasha and Coco.

“No, it’s not like that. I’ll be back soon.”

However, the two young cats’ suspicions didn’t subside.

All of a sudden, Sasha summoned Abaddonto to block the carriage.

“You can’t leave me behind.”

Dimitri thought that no matter how much Coco and Sasha protested, it would be futile. He was planning to use this opportunity to give both of them a heavy dose of medicine. In the first place, they were a big part of the annoying ones who constantly stole Rowaine’s time.

But when Sasha, who was proud and never wanted to show any sign of weakness, burst into tears, he realized he had made a mistake.

“If you leave me behind… you won’t come back.”

Sasha looked up at Rowaine with her eyes wide, trying not to shed tears. However, her large eyes were filled with tears, and even though she tried to keep them open, it was futile.

Rowaine was greatly taken aback when she saw Sasha’s tears.

“Why are you crying, Sasha?”

“That servant said the same thing before. They told me they’ll come back… so I waited…”

Dimitri rubbed his forehead.

‘Oh, I teased them too much.’

He had forgotten the fact that Sasha had been abandoned.

Dimitri caught a glimpse of Rowaine’s expression. Although he couldn’t see her face with her back to the carriage, he felt like he knew what expression she was making without looking.

‘D*mn it…’

Dimitri realized that he had shot himself in the foot.

The carriage soon departed… carrying the Duke and Duchess along with two young cat shapeshifters.
