I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 251

Chapter 126.1

‘Heaven is helping me.’

Dimitri smirked to himself.

Although Rowaine seemed very fearless, she would tremble with wonder at thunder, lightning, and ghosts. Despite the fact that she seemed robust enough to endure the long journey in the carriage until just a while ago, she became rapidly exhausted after hearing the ghost story.

She got off the carriage with a sullen expression and glared at the mansion, completely unaware of what would happen to her in the future.

The butler of the mansion, who had come out to meet them, politely welcomed the master and mistress.

“Welcome, Master and Madam. Thank you for your trouble in coming.”

However, the butler’s complexion was strangely dark.

Distracted by the rain, Rowaine didn’t notice this and exchanged brief greetings before quickly entering the front door.

Upon entering the mansion, she first introduced Coco and Sasha to the butler and entrusted them to Liddell, her personal maid brought from Blois. Liddell soon disappeared into the kitchen with the two cats comfortably in her arms since they had been whining because they were hungry.

The butler asked when he saw the hungry cats.

“Since both of you must be tired from the journey, shall I prepare a meal first?”

Rowaine glanced at Dimitri.

“I’m fine with skipping the meal. I’m tired and would like to go upstairs to shower and rest. What about you, Dimitri?”

Dimitri spoke to the butler.

“I’ll skip the meal. Prepare the bath.”

“Yes, I’ve already prepared the bath in advance, just in case, so you can use it right away. Since it’s your first time here, would you like me to show you to your room?”

Rowaine nodded.

“Would you do that for me?”

Dimitri followed closely behind Rowaine, who followed the butler without knowing anything. He wore a very pleased expression.

The butler led them up the stairs and stopped in front of a door before he opened his mouth.

“This is your bedroom.”

Rowaine, about to open the door, hesitated.

“Our bedroom?”

She glanced at Dimitri, trying to conceal her bewilderment.

“We are… sharing a bedroom?”

The next moment, she smiled awkwardly at Dimitri, gesturing urgently for him to do something quickly.

“We had separate rooms in Blois.”

The butler, unaware of their situation, spoke as if it were obvious.

“Yes, the entire fourth floor is one suite here. The bathroom and dressing room on the left are for the master, and the ones on the right are for the Madam.”

Rowaine’s forced smile gradually stiffened.

“You heard, right? Shall we go in, Madam?”

Dimitri nonchalantly shrugged and opened the door while Rowaine, looking startled, gritted her teeth and responded.

“Haha… You know I’m not comfortable sharing a room, yet you still…”

She shot him a piercing look and firmly insisted to the butler, explaining the reason as well.

“I don’t mind the guest room, so please guide me to another room. I have a habit of snoring heavily, and I’m concerned it might disturb my husband.”

At this, the butler, who hadn’t had a good complexion from the start, confessed with great dismay.

“I… actually, Madam. The truth is, the guest room isn’t properly prepared at the moment.”

“If it’s a cleaning issue, it’s fine. Just change the bedding.”

“…It’s not about cleaning, Madam.”

“Then, what is it?”

“You may not believe it, but all the beds in the guest rooms are broken.”

“The beds are broken?”

Rowaine furrowed her brow in utter disbelief.

The butler, who had been meticulously managing the mansion for the past few days, trying not to attract any negative attention from the notorious new madam, reported with a pale face.

“The beds in the guest rooms, which were perfectly fine until yesterday, suddenly all broke today. I’ve already informed Vilfrang Jajak, but it seems the message hasn’t been relayed yet.”

Rowaine’s eyes widened in astonishment.

“Who would do such an absurd thing? Have you found the culprit?”

“Well, it doesn’t look like it was done by a person…”

Dimitri, the culprit who attacked Shedim with Hyle, looked the other way and listened to the butler’s words before speaking calmly.

“Oh, looks like it happened again.”

The butler, sweating nervously and glancing at Rowaine for any reaction, looked at Dimitri as if asking what he was talking about.

Dimitri asked the butler with a brazen face.

“Don’t you remember? There have been similar incidents in the past.”

“Yes…?”

“On rainy days. Strange things often happen in this mansion.”

At those words, the butler’s pupils trembled slightly. He looked utterly perplexed, not understanding what Dimitri was talking about. However, Rowaine didn’t see that expression on the butler’s face.

“Ghost! Is it a ghost?”

She covered her mouth with both hands and turned to the butler.

“Um… well… that’s…”

The butler, hearing this for the first time, looked back and forth between Dimitri and Rowaine, unable to speak. Dimitri spoke up seriously instead of the butler.

“The Blois family has incurred a lot of enmity in the past.”
