I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 284

Chapter 142.2

“I was wondering how you were doing. Has the baby grown a lot? I wasn’t trying to hurt the baby back then, I swear! I just thought they were so cute and wanted to touch them a little…”

Sasha explained to Sienna as if she had committed some grave mistake. However, Sienna tilted her head, looking puzzled.

“Did something like that happen? I don’t remember it.”

“Really? Aren’t you angry because I did something wrong? I was worried that the baby might have gotten hurt by my claws.”

With a relieved expression, Sasha took a step closer to her, though Sienna stepped back with a slightly displeased look.

“Oh, could you not come so close? You’re getting my clothes dirty.”

“….!”

Sasha’s expression twisted in shock. On the other hand, Sienna looked at me and clapped her hands together as if she didn’t care about Sasha.

“How can there be such coincidences? It’s fate, fate! The meeting between the former owner and the new owner! It’s so nice to meet you, Duchess.”

“Ha.”

As I grabbed the back of my neck in disbelief, Sienna tilted her head.

“Oh my, Duchess, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

Saying so, she reached out a hand toward me.

I quickly pulled away from her hand and walked over to snatch the fan from another noblewoman. Then, I swatted Sienna’s outstretched hand with the fan.

Smack!

“Aaayh! What are you doing?”

“How dare you reach out with your dirty hands?”

The next moment, I slapped her shoulders and arms here and there.

“Fate? You’re talking about fate without a shred of conscience?”

“Aack! What’s wrong with you? Oh my! Aayh! Ah! You must be crazy! Ack!”

“Oh, yeah, I’m crazy. I’m the crazy woman here. Did you come all the way here without knowing that and bravely barked such trashy nonsense? My ears are ringing. What are you going to do about it? How are you going to compensate for my discomfort?”

The noble ladies, who must have experienced such a situation for the first time in their lives, glanced at each other with wide eyes and tried to calm me down, unsure of what to do.

“Du, Duchess! I don’t know why you’re suddenly so upset, but please calm down.”

“That’s right. S-Speak with words instead!”

As I ignored them and swung the fan as if wielding a sword and struck Sienna with a vicious blow, she stumbled backward and was pushed all the way out to the front door.

“What is there to say to someone who is worse than an animal? Only those who can understand words should be spoken to.”

“Aaaak! Help me! Aack! Help! Why are you like this?!”

I slammed the heavy front door shut right in front of her face.

“Aaah! There’s such a crazy woman! Mom…!”

Outside, the sound of Sienna crying and cursing me was heard.

“Ha.”

I let out a sharp breath of anger and threw the broken, ragged fan onto the floor before dusting off my hands.

“I borrowed it well. I’ll repay you with something better later.”

At my words, everyone stared at me blankly as I straightened my disheveled clothes. The next moment, I opened my mouth gently to Coco.

“Coco, why don’t you go upstairs with Sasha for a while? Let’s postpone the horseback riding for a bit.”

Coco nodded so quickly that it was like a gust of wind.

“Yes, Madam!”

Then, he picked up Sasha, who was now a little taller than him, and waddled up the stairs while carrying her. Sasha, who was dazed with tears welling up in her eyes, didn’t resist and was quietly carried away by him.

One of the remaining ladies came to her senses and protested to me.

“I-I don’t understand what that inappropriate behavior was just now, Duchess. Hitting someone like that!”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. What I hit wasn’t a person but a subhuman creature wearing a human mask.”

“Duchess!”

I had nothing more to say. After all, how much lower could Rowaine’s reputation go?

At that moment, someone placed an arm around my shoulder.

“I heard the commotion and came out. What’s going on?”

“Dimitri.”

He appeared at the perfect time, as if he had been watching from somewhere, and asked calmly.

“It seems someone has offended my wife.”

He enveloped me like a reliable ally and looked at each of the ladies as if to say that if there were any complaints, they should direct them to him. Eventually, the noblewoman who had been protesting to me raised her head and spoke on behalf of the others.

“The Duchess of Blois has gone too far. Such inappropriate behavior toward a guest…”

Dimitri abruptly cut her off.

“What I asked was…”

The emerald eyes that looked at the other person were frighteningly indifferent.

“Who offended my wife?”

His stern voice resonated heavily throughout the hall.
