Rehabilitate the Villainess

4 – Villains hate rumors

The wicked Shael woke up. Sleep time is her favorite time ⋯ but she wasn’t this time.

Because my damn fiancé came out of a dream. The damn fiancé haunted her even in her dreams.

And what makes her even more resentful is that she couldn’t beat him even in her dreams. He felt so pitiful of himself.

“⋯ Ha.”

The problem is not a dream. Thoughts about her fiancé often came to her mind even while going about her daily life.

I even thought of it while eating.

It was never because I liked him. Rather, it was because he hated it so much. He was originally a person who talked as a way to vent his anger.

Two days ago, something went wrong. Yes, since then Ever since her fiancé called her a bitch like a dog.

At first, I was very embarrassed. I thought it was a mistake, and I questioned him again.

Reviving the memories of that time.

-‘What…, What?’

-‘Dog bitch,’ he said. Have you ever had your ears blocked? I must be able to dig it out with my skillful swordsmanship.’

Then she had no choice but to be silent. Of course. She immediately thought he would ask for forgiveness.

Then she accepted his forgiveness, and she intended to use it to torment him even more. Because there was no target for venting anger as well as this person. Above all, he was different from the reaction when he was bullied.

By the way… He never begged for forgiveness. No, on the contrary, he proudly confronted himself.

Are you able to dig it out with your proficient swordsmanship? What kind of guess is that

Everything changed after that. To the extent that I felt that Eran was playing with me.

No, it’s not an idea. It was clear that he was thinking of himself as a toy.

But the funny thing was yesterday. He didn’t even talk back, he thought of Eran who was talking back to himself with a teacup.

Why the hell did he come forward and secretly cast healing magic?

I don’t understand why he used healing magic in the first place, but even if he used healing magic, he could have been teasing and harassing himself through it.

So I can’t figure it out.

When I see my fiancé again, he will ask me why.

And I will bully you.

This time⋯⋯.

I will never lose.

With that promise, she erased her thoughts about my fiancé. From constantly thinking about her fiancé to losing to Gaeran, it was because she had thoughts.

She somehow consciously tried to keep her thoughts out of Eran.

What hindered her resolution was the rumors of her ladies-in-waiting.

*

“What, the boy finally seduced the lady!?”

In a blind spot in the hallway, Shael heard something absurd.

The ladies-in-waiting exchanged rumors like this in the mansion without fear in broad daylight ⋯, originally, it was because it was time for Shael to be in her room.

And what was even more absurd was the words that followed.

“Yes, Master Eran scooped up the cake for me!”

I swear, I never took it. Shael was embarrassed.

“Brother Eran even kissed my ear!”

She has never been kissed on the ear. She did receive whispers.

When Shael shows up and tries to scold the maids for making strange scandals. It was Sael’s father, Duke Jespen Azbel, who came out of the blind spot on the other side.

It was obvious how things would go. The rumors of the maids reached Jespen.

“What, is that really true?”

It’s ruined, Shael thought. The maids exaggerated and exaggerated the exaggerated and exaggerated rumors and informed Jespen.

“Am I finally seeing my grandchildren?”

Jespen was impressed. She honestly doesn’t like Shael’s personality ⋯, because she’s been mean to Eran a lot of times.

So he was very happy when he heard that rumor. He wanted to believe that the rumors were true.

Of course, those rumors were never true. Because that never happened. Before she even showed up to deny Shael.

At that time, it was Eran Baslett who came out on the other side of the hallway.

Then it was obvious what Jespen would say to Eran. It is to ask her party if her relationship with her daughter is going well.

Shael believed Eran would deny this, and she had no doubts.

But Eran Baslet, the culprit behind all of this and her enemy, gave a strange answer.

“Oh, that’s right.”

Shael almost passed out. Because her fucking fiancé spit out lies. She turned to them with her trembling.

I see Eran sneering at me one by one. Next is Jespen, who looks at her proudly, and the maids who are trembling in fear.

Shael thought. What should she do to get out of that misunderstanding?

No, Shael had a different idea.

⋯Can I escape the misunderstanding?

There is no way to think about it. If she denies it, rumors will circulate even more exaggeratedly that she is ashamed to admit her relationship with Eran.

So she chose silence. Part of the reason was that she didn’t want Eran to see her looking at herself and having fun with her.

Her own misfortune is better than Eran’s happiness.

Above all, what if that kind of rumor spreads? She’ll hate herself, but she’ll hate Eran too.

Because now he has endured a little pain and affirmed the rumors in order to make fun of himself.

It’s a reasonable choice in its own way, Shael thought.

However, the problem was that the rumor actually spread as if it were true.

* * *

I looked at Shael. To hear such rumors, to just stay still.

The situation unfolded in an atmosphere that seemed to admit that what I said was true.

No way, I didn’t expect you to answer with silence there.

Then it was no wonder that Duke Jespen confirmed this rumor to be true.

It was the same with the ladies-in-waiting. Perhaps, the rumors will grow bigger and bigger day by day.

Duke Jespen immediately left Sael and me in Sael’s room and left. It was as if the place was empty.

The now familiar sound of a chair scratching the floor. It’s a robbery I’ve never heard of before. She is the most embarrassed ever.

“⋯Why the hell did you answer with silence there?”

“⋯.”

Shael answered silently this time as well.

“Did you really want me to get better?”

“Sounds that make sense⋯!”

“⋯.”

Originally, she looked at me with strange eyes, but now it has become the opposite of hers.

Because I was staring at her with her bewildered expression.

“⋯I regret it, and it was an annoying mistake, so please don’t mention it in the future.”

“⋯Right, well.”

Of course, I will mention it. Tomorrow or a month from now. And the following year too. I got the perfect material to bully.

“⋯So, what the hell did you do about yesterday?”

“What are you talking about?”

“⋯ My hand.”

Ah, I think he said he used healing magic on his hand.

“I didn’t write it.”

Of course, what I wrote is correct.

“Don’t lie to me. I’m from the Azbel family, a famous family of magic.”

“How do I prove that I am not?”

“⋯.”

She was a wicked woman who blushed at her shame because she was in denial this far. Could it be that I was mistaken? It’s thinking

Actually, no matter how much she belongs to the Azbel family, she can’t even use magic well.

Because the villainess was also lazy.

I said it with the intention of making fun of her.

“Yes, that’s what I did.”

“Ha, that’s right. I knew it would be like this.”

“That’s not true.”

“⋯.”

Shael glaring at me. She admitted it again before the villainess got really mad.

“Yes, that’s what I did.”

Shael looked at me playing with words and she let out a deep sigh and said.

“So, why the hell did you treat me?”

“How can you let go of hurting your fiancé?”

“⋯But do you curse at your fiancé, calling him a dog bitch?”

Of course there is nothing to say about that. But she is a wicked woman, does she not think of what she has done?

Anyway, the villainess is selfish.

“Wouldn’t it be different to tell the truth?”

In other words, she’s a real dog bitch, so she’s okay with swearing.

“I really hate you.”

“Is that so?”

Shael glaring at me. It’s the weapon I was going to take out tomorrow, but I can’t help it.

“But, well… I don’t think he really hates it, seeing as he won’t deny rumors that the two of us are finally in love.”

“⋯.”

“By the way, there is no one in the duchy who doesn’t know about the rumors anymore.”

Now it was Shael who was glaring at me as if he were going to kill me. She said with a look on her face that she had an idea.

“Ha, you who affirmed those rumors first didn’t you hate me?”

A villain who takes a counterattack. She doesn’t know how many attacks. It was a pretty good attack.

However, the problem was that the opponent was me. It was me who had already been attacked by thousands.

“There is a saying that married couples are of one mind. We are still engaged…”

“Suddenly, what nonsense…”

So, my heart was the same as hers.

“In other words, I meant I hate you too.”

It was a counterattack after a counterattack.
