I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 257
Chapter 129.1
As Rowaine feared, word of her actions quickly spread rumors and soon reached Dimitri’s ears. The story was completely distorted to show that the devilish Rowaine was harassing innocent victims.
“It seems Madam Rowaine caused such a commotion during the day.”
Hyle reported to Dimitri with a complicated face. Even though he firmly believed that rumors of Rowaine being a villain were merely misunderstandings, now faced with this situation, he wore a slightly shocked expression.
Dimitri, upon receiving the report, furrowed his brow with a serious expression.
“Hmm.”
Hyle, who saw his expression, came forward and defended Rowaine even though it wasn’t necessary.
“There must have been… circumstances. Shall I investigate?”
“It’s okay.”
Dimitri shook his head coldly and decisively. Because of that, Hyle opened his mouth again as if pleading.
“Don’t you know she’s not someone who would do that for no reason?”
At his words, Dimitri frowned and looked at his aide.
“Why are you defending my wife?”
“Yes? That’s…”
Hyle thought Dimitri must have been completely disappointed in Rowaine. However, his master’s following words were completely different from what he had expected.
“If my wife doesn’t like something, can’t she just hit someone?”
“Yes…?”
“Maybe she’s just in a bad mood and got into an argument with a passerby.”
“….”
“You said the other person ran away first? Well, that means she won, so what else do I need to know? If she needs my help, she’ll talk to me directly. She’s a straightforward and reasonable person.”
Dimitri nodded proudly as if he was proud.
Hyle, who was speechless, stared blankly at her master before he asked.
“Then what were you thinking about with that serious expression just a moment ago?”
“I was thinking about how I could make my wife feel better. Hyle, tell the chef to prepare plenty of ginger cookies and custard cream that Rowaine likes. Coldly.”
“….”
“Rowaine likes those.”

It was late evening when I returned home.
I was so caught up in shopping and sightseeing for the first time in a long time and had so much fun walking around with Agwen that I didn’t even realize it was so late. I then headed to the bedroom, thinking I should talk to Dimitri again about sharing the room.
However, Dimitri, whom I had thought would still be in the study, was waiting for me in the room.
“Have you been here?”
When I asked Dimitri, who was leaning in front of the window, drinking wine, he greeted me with a drawn smile.
“You’re late, Rowaine.”
“Oh, shopping was fun. I didn’t realize how time was flying.”
“I’m glad you enjoyed it. Did you have dinner?”
“I did.”
I was a little hungry, so I had an early dinner. As I trailed off while patting my stomach as I spoke, he took me to the table as if that was a good thing.
“I asked them to prepare some snacks.”
I looked up at Dimitri, a little surprised to see all the desserts beautifully set out on the table.
He smirked.
“Ginger cookies dusted with lots of sugar, chilled custard cream, and a little sweet alcohol.”
“Dimitri, did you prepare all of this?”
“You like them, don’t you?”
Unknowingly, a smile spread across my face.
‘…What is this feeling?’
Having someone greet me with things I enjoy preparing… it was a feeling I had never experienced before. Then, I went to sit on the sofa beside Dimitri. Since it wasn’t placed facing the bedroom, it naturally turned out that way.
“I heard that something unpleasant happened outside today. I thought you might not feel good, so I asked for these to be prepared.”
“Ah, that’s right. Rumors spread fast.”
“It’s inevitable. I have eyes and ears everywhere.”
Feeling already worried, I defended myself to Dimitri as if I were a guilty thief caught in the act.
“If by any chance you prepared these thoughts to blame me for what happened, I’ll tell you now that I won’t apologize. They should be the one to—!”
“The one to?”
I hesitated before finishing my sentence.
‘I wonder if I’ll just hurt his feelings by saying something he doesn’t need to know.’
I wasn’t sure if it would be wise to say that I was angry because people were mocking him.
“No, it’s nothing. I was just a bit angry. Still, I won’t apologize. I’m sorry.”
As I firmly stated this, Dimitri tilted his head and asked earnestly.
“It seems like something happened that offended you. I can take revenge if you want. In any way Rowaine wishes. Shall I?”
