I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 94

Chapter 47.2

‘…Is it because of the magic perfume?’

He knew that the unfamiliar smell was artificially manipulating his emotions. Although he could not resist, he could recognize it. So, he thought that was why she felt different. What was she planning to do after using magic perfume to distract him?

Cadis was afraid.

However, he saw Rowaine throwing herself to protect the young cat shapeshifter.

‘Nonsense.’

She was even wounded by the cat shapeshifter.

He truly believed that Rowaine would twist the cat’s head on the spot.

One day, after completing training for the hounds, a newcomer in the force accidentally stepped on Rowaine’s foot. How furious she was that day? She screamed in anger when she saw her reddened foot.

To appease her, His Majesty made him run several laps through the vacant lot, tied to a horse. As he was dragged by the horse, that hound lost consciousness and collapsed that night, writhing in agony before eventually dying.

…All because of a small indentation that would have disappeared in a few minutes.

So, when the young cat shapeshifter scratched Rowaine’s neck and arm, leaving several wounds, Cadis expected a severe punishment. But, to his surprise, she asked the little cat, ‘Are you okay? Aren’t you hurt?’ as she looked it over with concern.

‘…What happened?’

She even went so far as to defend him against the Duke of Blois.

‘What’s going on?’

Cadis was confused.

It was so bizarre. He could not believe it. At that time, the magical scent that had emanated from Rowaine’s body lost its effectiveness and disappeared.

‘….?’

Cadis woke up and glanced at her, who was talking to the Duke of Blois.

It was definitely Rowaine.

But, why was it…

‘She smells different? Like… like a completely different person…’

It was the smell he had smelled when he searched for and pursued Rowaine at Count Larscel’s house.

That day, from the moment she stepped out of the carriage, Cadis noticed that Rowaine smelled of an unfamiliar grassy scent. He suspected it was some kind of magical perfume with strange effects.

He had no doubt she used various types of magic incense, especially since she had once fled with a magical perfume that disrupted his sense of smell. But now, she had masked her body scent with yet another magical perfume, though its effect eventually wore off, revealing her original scent.

‘Is this grassy smell, which I thought was from magic, really her natural scent? It doesn’t even resemble regular perfume…’

There was no way he was mistaken.

A dog’s sense of smell was incredibly sensitive and precise, and Cadis trusted his nose more than his eyes. Even without seeing Rowaine, he focused on her scent.

It was clear that the magical perfume had faded, leaving only her natural body scent exposed.

‘…It’s a different person.’

The stranger who was in front of him had a refreshing and pleasant scent. It warmed his heart even more than the magic perfume.

The day after Sasha and Cadis had contact, I had to try very hard to convince Dimitri, who disapproved of Cadis.

As I walked out of his office, I grumbled to myself.

‘Does he think I’m just doing this for me? He doesn’t even know anything.’

Was he also destined to be executed by Cadis? If I treat him well now, Dimitri’s fate could change with me.

‘Maybe.’

Anyway, as a result of an exhausting argument with him, I was allowed to walk the hounds with the knights.

‘I didn’t want to be accompanied by the knights in case they would feel intimidated.’

However, there was nothing I could do to provide them with this convenience like this.

‘I made him go through something like that yesterday, so everything that I have done so far has become stale. I have to start over. Ha…’

Difficult. This is difficult.

But what can I do? The main character was the boss.

As I packed up some tasty treats, I then headed to the dungeon to cheer Cadis’s mood.

‘I don’t know if this will work.’

Still, this was the best I could do. I had the guards deliver hot food that was still steaming to him. Then, I was surprised to see what was going on with Cadis through the grate.

He was sitting at the door and gazing up at me.

“….”

Suddenly, I exchanged glances with him.

Cats did not like to make eye contact for long periods of time. So, I habitually tried to avert my eyes without making eye contact with him for a long time, but Cadis’s moist eyes kept attracting my attention.

It seemed that there was no fear in his dark brown eyes that I had seen before. While he was the one whose body stiffened from tension when he looked at me, he seemed to be comfortable in his sitting posture now.

‘…Huh?’

As something caught my eye, I rubbed my eyes and stared closely through the window.

…Cadis’ tail was waving a little.
[ T/N: (╥╯￢╰╥)❤︎ WHY IS THIS SO CUTE AAAA. ]

‘What?’

My body jolted.

‘That can’t be…!’

Did he open his heart to me?
