I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 261

Chapter 131.1

It was a very refreshing morning.

It felt as if my body was telling me that I had gotten enough sleep and that it was a very comfortable sleep.

‘Ah, I feel so refreshed.’

As I was stretching happily, memories of yesterday suddenly flashed back, and my eyes widened.

‘I slept with Dimitri!’

Last time, Agwen came and woke me up, telling me that Dimitri had left first, but today, there was no sign of her.

‘…Did I wake up too early? Is Dimitri still next to me?’

As I wondered, I glanced to my side to check. However, the space next to me was empty.

‘Did he also get up early and leave first today?’

Along with the comfort of being alone, I felt a strange sense of wistfulness. Despite the fact that it was so normal and natural for me to wake up in the morning and find the space next to me empty, why did I feel this emptiness now?

‘…Is it normal to get used to having someone next to you after just two days of sleeping together? What’s wrong with me?’

Embarrassed at myself like this, I shook my head to shake off the thoughts.

“It’s more comfortable being alone! Sleeping alone in this spacious bed is the best!”

Muttering to myself, I confidently rolled over.

Squelch.

‘Euuaaaaaak!’

The next moment, I screamed internally at the unexpected squishy sensation and hastily jerked my body backward. In the split second that followed, a thousand thoughts raced through my mind.

‘…What did I just step on? A ghost? A ghost’s corpse? Some severed limb of a ghost?’

They say you couldn’t scream when you were scared… that was spot-on.

I looked down, sobbing into my throat, unable to make a sound in case I provoked the ghost. However, the moment I confirmed what was under my foot, I was as shocked as if I had seen a ghost.

Sure enough, there in front of me was a gray cat, sleeping peacefully with all four paws pointed skyward.

Very familiar.

“Bl… ue?”

In response to my call, Blue, who must have been in a very deep sleep, barely opened one eye and glanced at me before he slowly closed it again.

‘…How can a cat sleep so deeply?’

They say even cautious cats could fall into such a deep sleep in a place they feel completely safe that they wouldn’t wake up easily…

‘Anyway, that’s definitely Blue.’

Wasn’t Blue the cat that Dimitri kept in the Blois mansion?

‘So… why is Blue here? And why on this bed?’

While I was deeply perplexed, what caught my eye was the garment Blue was lying on.

‘Dimitri’s pajamas?’

As I rolled my eyes and pondered what could have happened, I chuckled at a ridiculous idea that crossed my mind.

‘No, no way.’

My pupils fluttered violently as I glanced at Blue and then at Dimitri’s pajamas, dismissing the idea as ridiculous.

‘N-no, it couldn’t be…’

Didn’t I discard the idea that Dimitri could be Blue a long time ago?

‘That’s impossible… it can’t be…’

I looked down at the cat in front of me blankly, unable to make a sound. Blue, who was sleeping with a very happy face, looked very peaceful.

Feeling as if I were about to open Pandora’s box, I paused and hesitated before shutting my eyes.

“Uh… Di-Dimitri.”

Blue slowly fluttered open his eyes, not sure whether it was because of the sound of me calling or just my voice echoing in the quiet room.

As soon as this gray cat made eye contact with me, it stretched leisurely.

“Did you sleep well, Rowaine?”

And greeted me good morning in a very cute voice…

‘Blue… spoke…’

“….”

Perhaps he realized that his voice had become very cute. Dimitri and I stared at each other for a while, frozen like statues.

I glanced away from him, slowly slipped out of the blanket and put on my slippers.

“I… uh, I, um, I have some, something, to do outside, so, I’ll just—”

With that, without looking back, I stormed out of the bedroom. Even as I closed the bedroom door, Blue, or rather Dimitri, the grey cat that was undoubtedly him, remained frozen in the same stretching position.

Blue was Dimitri.

So, Dimitri was Blue.

That beautiful gray cat, the one who purred and meowed so cutely to me, was Dimitri.

I stumbled down the hallway, not even realizing I was in my pajamas. Just then, there was a commotion from the bedroom, followed by the door bursting open.

“Rowaine! Rowaine, wait!”

Dimitri urgently called out to me. I was startled and turned around, only to be terrified and quickly averted my gaze.
