Rehabilitate the Villainess

64 – The wicked woman is ignorant

My room with Sael. Thanks to what I said so that Sael, who was following me, could hear me, Sael was paying attention to me.

“What are you doing?”

“⋯⋯Oh, no.”

That evil woman is looking at me. I didn’t expect it to be this much, but it’s really amazing.

To the point where I thought maybe I was too harsh.

I barely endured apologizing to the agonizing Shael. It’s been several months since I suffered from the wicked woman.

Actually, I didn’t intend to argue with that now, but⋯⋯.

A rational reason was needed. Because I wanted to see more of the cute Sael who looked after me.

Shael looked at me and said.

“⋯⋯That.”

“Why is that?”

“⋯Geom, Jeong⋯⋯.”

Shael shut her mouth. What is the reason for her sudden words? I could easily recall the reason.

-‘While I was down, were you worried?’

-‘⋯⋯Ah, Ne-Yo. Not at all.’

At Sael’s words, I pretended to be angry and left the hospital room.

Because of that, it was clear that the villain opened her mouth despite her shame.

Shael took a deep breath and spoke.

“⋯⋯, I must have decided.”

“⋯.”

I’m not worried, what do you mean you should have been worried?

Of course, it’s a bit disappointing, but it’s a huge improvement. But even so, I didn’t want to tell Shael the truth already.

Instead, I decided to give them some compensation. To Shael, who couldn’t eat my dessert for 15 days.

“Please follow me.”

“⋯⋯Yes, yes.”

To the extent that I had to answer twice. I don’t know how nervous Shael is. Still, maybe the tension will be relieved soon.

I was brought to the Baslet family’s cooking room. It was so early that even the sleepless cooks of the Barslet family didn’t wake up, so Shael and I were able to use the cooking room alone.

“⋯⋯ Why are you here?”

“I will cook and make dessert for you.”

First of all, not only me who had been fainting for 15 days, but also Sha El, who had been waiting for me, seemed to have no strength in her body.

So I wanted to give Shael food full of nutrients right away. I started cooking with Shael sitting down.

Shael stood up from her seat. Shael would have given me advice as usual. But she was different this time.

“⋯⋯I can help.”

“Yes?”

Shael held out her hand towards me. It seemed to mean asking for work.

Even though I knew the meaning, I hesitated. She is Sael who made that strange cookie. Of course, I don’t think I’m good at cooking.

In the first place, it was rare for nobles in the Middle Ages to cook for themselves.

“I will do it myself.”

“No, I will too.”

A proud statement from Sael. I gave in. At least Shael, who can’t cook, handed over something he could do well.

“Sugar. Just sprinkle a little bit on the cupcakes.”

“Yes, I will.”

And I soon found out. That it was the worst mistake that he handed over thinking that Sael could do it too.

At some point, the cupcakes were covered in sugar. Shael, who has no such thing as moderation. The cupcakes looked too sweet to eat.

“What is this?”

“⋯Why?”

Shael asked me what was wrong. I was just questioning Shael.

“If you sprinkle so much sugar, how on earth do you eat it?”

“⋯?”

Shael questioned for a moment before picking up the cupcakes. She must be unhealthy.

Without time to stop me, Shael took a bite of the cupcake. Sael said to me while eating it deliciously.

“⋯⋯What’s wrong?”

“⋯.”

From now on, I must not be separated from Shael. Because I don’t want to have to eat sugar anyway.

I sighed and continued cooking. Of course, as before, Sael’s favor continued.

“Oh, I will do this.”

“⋯⋯Yes.”

The cucumbers, which had been thoroughly washed, turned into powder before I knew it.

“Of course this has to be made hot, right?”

“⋯.”

Rest.

“⋯⋯Ah.”

The dough burned by Sael’s magic turned to ashes and disappeared. That wasn’t the end. Shael was still helping me diligently.

She said that she would do a good job, but the villain willingly gave it to her, but she couldn’t stop it.

I’m worried about the food Sael and I will eat if we leave this alone.

So I asked Shael.

“Will you rub my shoulders while I cook?”

“⋯⋯.”

“That sounds like it would be really helpful.”

An offer that a villainess would refuse. However, Shael nodded her head to my request.

Shael stretched out her arm to overcome the height difference between her and began to rub my shoulder.

In that way, I was able to finally finish cooking with the wicked woman.

* * *

Shael picked up one of her cookies and handed it to me. I think I used to not be allowed to touch dessert.

Not anymore. Shael didn’t mind if I reached for dessert. As I handed over the cookie and ate it, Shael opened her mouth.

“⋯⋯That.”

“Why is that?”

“Maybe…”

Shael looked at me and said.

“⋯⋯Are you mad?”

Are you angry? Not at all. Are you misunderstanding what Sael said when he was tailing me?

But it was too sudden a question for that. Because Sael was looking at me more than before.

I looked at Shael as if there was a problem, and she said.

“It’s different than usual.”

“What do you mean?”

“⋯⋯I don’t know.”

I don’t know why. Even with Sael’s words, I could understand why Sael felt that way.

When Shael helps with the cooking. Of course, that didn’t really help me, so out of the blue I asked Shael to rub her shoulders.

She may feel sorry for Shael, since she suddenly asked for such a favor while she was helping with the cooking.

Although it wasn’t helpful, Sael just wanted to help cook for me.

She wouldn’t be strange at all to Shael, who has a strange way of thinking, but she sighed as she looked at the sugar-covered cupcakes.

-‘There’s nothing I can’t say to my fiancé.’

There, the other day, when Shael was following me. I said it coldly, so of course, if it’s Shael, she can’t help but feel that way.

I saw Shael staring at me with a sullen expression.

Anyway, it seems like the time has come to stop playing around. I thought about what to say to Shael.

What kind of words can brighten Sael’s sullen expression?

The cheesy words were a bit like that. I needed words that could hide my true feelings and express them.

So I came up with a good idea. A way to make Sael dizzy and then happy.

I spit out those words that would be surprising to Sael if he heard them.

“Actually, she has a woman she loves.”

“⋯!”

I haven’t told you who the target is yet. Embarrassed, Shael asked me.

“⋯⋯No, goo.”

“Are you curious?”

Shael nodded her head. I threw a clue for Sael who was curious.

It was a really simple and easy clue. Just enough to figure out who that person is.

“First of all, he is a very dirty person.”

“⋯.”

I was sure that Shael, who was quick-witted, would understand the meaning of my words…

Come to think of it, Shael only becomes stupid in situations like this. Shael, who was silent for a moment, struggled to open her mouth.

“⋯⋯It will be difficult to be with someone with a bad temper.”

“Is that so?”

It won’t matter anyway. These days, the bad-tempered villainess is getting cuter and cuter.

I spoke for Shael, who still couldn’t get her way.

“I am a person who really likes dessert. She really loves my desserts to death.”

“⋯.”

This time too, Shael, who was ignorant, didn’t understand what I was saying. She just said she was dissatisfied.

“⋯⋯If you marry a bitch like that, you will become a slave to the dessert.”

Am I being used as a dessert slave in the future?

It doesn’t matter. As long as Sael enjoys it, she can serve you any number of desserts.

Ah, of course, for Sael’s health, she seems to have to restrain herself a bit.

By the way, ‘such a bitch’. Unintentionally, Shael was cursing herself.

I added with a laugh. Looking at her Sael, to make it easier to notice than Sael.

“Sometimes it’s a really cute woman to point out nonsense.”

“⋯⋯ What’s so cute about pointing out empty words?”

Shael’s dissatisfied words. At the same time, a small whimper was heard.

Now Shael even starts to cry.

‘Isn’t this what it is?’

Shael was more ignorant than I thought. In order for Shael to notice it right away, she gave a huge clue.

“She is also the woman who is always by my side.”

“⋯.”

“She is still with me.”

At this level, wouldn’t any fool notice?

If there’s a woman nearby, it’s only Sael.

So Sael must have noticed by now.

I waited for Shael’s mouth to open. After a very short time, Shael opened her mouth.

“Are you the ⋯⋯princess of the Baslett family?”

A female knight from the Baslett family. Could it be that

She sighed. Now I was going to tell you the truth, but Shael spoke without giving me a chance to open her mouth.

“⋯⋯Don’t cheat.”

Then it starts staring at me. Looking at it now, the woman I love is ⋯⋯ She seems really filthy ignorant.
