I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 87
Chapter 44.1
Whenever he was near Rowaine, her scent made him feel intoxicated and at ease. Because of this, he began to wonder if he was perceiving her willingness where there was none. Any critical thinking he had about her seemed to dissolve in her presence.
Dimitri found himself increasingly confused—did he like her scent, or was it her that he was drawn to?
‘…It’s not like I can ask her to get rid of her natural scent.’
For a moment, his thoughts drifted to the perfume Rowaine had accidentally got. He wondered if it could have been a magical perfume that affected cat shapeshifters as well…
‘Well, even so, it would have been meaningless.’
Besides, it would be a shame to cover up such a pleasant scent with magic perfume.
Even if she thought about it, he was unsure what he should do. While he liked her natural scent, he was still confused—was it truly her that made him happy, or was it just an illusion caused by the scent? Despite his confusion, he couldn’t ask her to get rid of it, and, truthfully, he didn’t want to. Even if there were a way to mask it, he wanted to enjoy it.
Dimitri quickly tried to organize his thoughts.
It was simple.
‘I can keep her by my side until I get tired of it.’
Having gotten a clear answer, he hummed and recalled the forgotten Coco. As he continued to hum, Dimitri smacked Coco’s wheat-brown head with his fist.
“Aaak…!”
Coco, who was beaten out of nowhere, up at him in bewilderment. Meanwhile, Dimitri spoke nonchalantly without a change in expression.
“From next time on, don’t hang around when Rowine sleeps. If you sneak into a sleeping person’s room without permission, I’ll break your neck and bury you in the mountains behind here.”
“Ueunng—!”

After dealing with Sasha’s problems, I changed out of my sweaty clothes from the horse riding and went to see Dimitri. The butler said that he was already waiting for me in the dining room.
‘…What if he’s very angry about Sasha?’
As I went down worriedly, I could see Dimitri was sitting with Coco in the dining room.
‘Ah, Coco!’
Sasha alone wasn’t enough, Coco was now also in the main building. When I glanced at Dimitri in embarrassment, he had a surprisingly calm face.
“Why are you standing like that, Rowaine? Please come and sit down.”
At his words, Sasha suddenly appeared from behind me and sat down at the table.
“I’m hungry!”
Why is she so bold…
‘…Why is everyone so indifferent?’
Was it a dream that Dimitri said he would draw a line between the main building and the annex to separate Coco and Sasha’s territory? I was confused.
“Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”
“…Oh, no.”
“It looks like the employees were struggling to take care of these guys while you were away.”
‘Heuk. There was no way he could just let this slide…’
My shoulder shook slightly as I was wondering if Dimitri was angry while still wearing a calm face. This was even more frightening if he was blatantly angry. Thinking that, I decided to open my mouth to apologize before he got any more upset.
“I’m s—”
“I’ll try to find someone to take care of these guys quickly. Don’t worry too much.”
…Yes?
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
As I stared at Dimitri to observe his intentions, he was just enjoying the appetizers leisurely. With his chin, he then gestured to Coco and Sasha, who were fighting head-to-head over a large plate of meat.
“We can’t just let them act like savages with no manners like that.”
“Well, yes…”
“Or, are you going to teach them one by one? I’ll follow the way the Madam wants them to be educated.”
“No! I don’t know how to teach shapeshifters, so it’d be better to leave it to professionals.”
“Is that so? I saw earlier that you had some tricks.”
“….!”
Dimitri was also there when Sasha was agitated?
‘He didn’t hear what they said… did he?’
It was that the employees were saying that I must handle Dimitri well since I was good at dealing with cat shapeshifters…
Looking at his expression, the moment I thought he had not heard it, he chuckled.
“Oh… Come to think of it, the maids of Rowaine were excited, saying that you drained my soul* every night.”
[ T/N: The phrase ‘drain someone’s spirit/soul’ (정신을 쏙 빼앗아 어지럽게 만들다) means ‘to fascinate someone and make him/her feel dizzy.’ ]
‘Arghh!’
I screamed inwardly.
Even though I wanted to keep Dimitri’s mouth shut, I could not, so I put my hand here and there, thinking of what to say.
“Oh, uh… I’ll make sure, ah… the maids wouldn’t do that again. I’m sorry to make you hear something strange. Don’t worry about it too much.”
Dimitri smiled softly and shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t care.”
Well, if it was not something he cared about—
“I’m just curious. Can you really drain my soul?”
“….!”
What is he talking about now…!
When I stared at him blankly in amazement, he slightly lowered his head in the same way he was slicing meat.
‘Is he… smiling?’
He seemed to think it was a funny joke. Somehow, seeing his playful reaction like that made my heart flutter.
“I can see you laughing.”
“Oh, excuse me.”
“I can still see it!”
I glared at Dimitri before pulling away Coco and Sasha, who were holding each other’s hair and fighting.
‘I guess it’s okay for these guys to come to the main building?’
I thought so because Dimitri was throwing a joke like this while having a meal together casually. Even though I was puzzled, what was good was good.
