I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 276

Chapter 138.2

Cadis was in a great mood.

Even though he had been extremely anxious about being summoned to the bustling golden hall where the party was in full swing, thankfully, the worst thing he feared didn’t happen.

He had simply met Herman, who was waiting on behalf of the Emperor.

Herman ordered him to find and bring back Rowaine, who had left the party hall not long ago. It seemed she had run into some trouble at the party and rushed out.

Typically, search missions were tasks suited for hunting dogs with keen senses of hearing and smell. It was far more efficient to send out one hound than to deploy hundreds of people. Therefore, Cadis searched for Rowaine without any suspicion. He was worried that she had encountered some trouble and might be crying alone somewhere.

But fortunately, when he found Rowaine in a deserted area, she wasn’t crying.

‘As expected, Eunsoo is strong.’

Seeing her, Cadis glanced around to make sure no one was watching before he waved his hand happily as if nothing had happened. If he had been in the form of a dog, he would’ve wagged his tail enough to raise dust.

“Cadis! What are you doing here alone? Can you be alone?”

“Eunsoo!”

He chuckled as he quickly ran over to her.

“I was looking for Eunsoo. I recognized the scent and knew you had come to the palace. I never thought I’d see you like this!”

“I see. Your sense of smell is truly amazing.”

Rowaine burst into laughter, watching Cadis enthusiastically pour out his words with excitement.

Perhaps because he was a dog shapeshifter, he had a completely different energy compared to cat shapeshifters. Although she felt a bit awkward and embarrassed, she didn’t dislike it. Why would anyone dislike being welcomed like this?

“But why are you really here, Cadis?”

“I was given a mission by Count Herman! For Eunsoo…”

Cadis suddenly stopped mid-sentence. It was because he felt that, somehow, something was off with his senses.

‘…What is it?’

Shapeshifters, whose senses were much sharper compared to ordinary humans, often felt extreme anxiety or excitement and exhibited strange behaviors when their senses became abnormal. Cadis was shaken by the sudden dullness of hearing and his vision blurred.

“Cadis, are you okay?”

Rowaine quickly grabbed his shoulders.

“Yes, Eunsoo…”

Cadis shook his head to try to regain his senses, but this time, he felt that his sense of smell had become even more sensitive than before. He could detect various perfumes of people who had been buried in the party hall from Rowaine. Despite it giving him a headache, he found her natural scent in the midst of it all particularly pleasant, enough to make his heart pound violently.

“Ha… Just a moment…”

He panicked and tried to push her away, but his body suddenly didn’t respond. Cadis staggered and leaned her head on Rowaine’s shoulder.

“I’m, I’m sorry…”

“What’s wrong, Cadis?”

“I don’t… know…”

His words became slurred.

At the same time, he suddenly remembered the snacks Herman had given him before coming here. He had eaten them at Herman’s insistence. Naturally, he couldn’t ask for a reason or refuse. He thought there was a strange taste inside the cookie…

‘What was it?’

The symptoms worsened gradually, and his vision began to spin.

He felt anxious.

Instinctively, he felt he needed to distance himself from Rowaine, but his body wouldn’t obey.

“E-Eun, Eunsoo… Haah, ha…”

“Why are you acting like this? Snap out of it, Cadis! Wait here. I’ll get someone.”

“Just a moment… Haah, please wait, Eunsoo… Wait a minute…”

He didn’t know what to do, but he felt an urge to hold onto her and do something.

Unconsciously, as he grabbed Rowaine, holding her hand tightly and squeezing her shoulder, he fidgeted restlessly, not knowing what to do. His body was hot, and his heart was pounding like crazy. He wanted to do something but didn’t know what. Feeling frustrated and on the brink of losing control, he just pulled Rowaine into his embrace until she was crumpled.

It felt like a deep thirst, not for water, but a thirst for Rowaine.

At that moment, Cadis raised his head slightly and saw her lips.

‘Ah…’

In an instant, memories of kissing Elaine flashed through his mind. The sensation that was so good dominated his thoughts.

‘Just one more time…’

He realized that the sensation he desired was exactly that.

The next moment, without even knowing what he was doing, he grabbed the woman in front of him. The flustered Rowaine tried to push him away, though it wasn’t enough to overcome his strength, who was nearly one hundred and ninety centimeters tall and muscular.

“Cadis? Cadis! Wait a moment! What—uhp!”

Cadis pressed his lips against Rowaine’s.
