Rehabilitate the Villainess

97 – A protective gear that gives love

Shael saw Eran’s hand. She was acting as Eran, who mistook Shael for Hogu, to ask for her money.

Shael ignored this and took out her potion. It was the potion Eran had before her.

“Do you know what this potion is for?”

Ran nodded his head. Again, contrary to Eran’s words, he knew what the potion was for.

“Where are you writing it?”

“Why am I telling you that?”

Shael did not answer Eran’s words. She took out her heavy wallet and handed the gold coin to Eran.

Then Eran opened her mouth without any refusal.

“I heard it’s a potion that helps love. I don’t know the details either.”

A potion that helps love. It was obvious who the potion was for.

It was for Shael. But Shael was not happy.

It would be fine if I didn’t use these things.

I felt a bit disappointed. Shael put her potion in her pocket, reminding her of her promise that when Eran was fine, she would punish him wisely.

Looks like the potion is done now.

Shael thought after looking at Ran, frowning at her. She said that now, she gave gold coins. Did she tell another woman her secret that she couldn’t even tell herself?

This needed to be scolded.

How should I punish you?

Then she recalled her past memories to Shael. It was her memory of when Ehran had slapped her with a bunch of punches.

Expecting Shael to pay it back, she approached Eran.

Gasp.

Before Sael’s could reach her, Eran’s hand caught her on Sael’s wrist.

“Because Shael hates this.”

Eran is reluctant to contact other women. Eran’s words eased Shael’s mood.

Shael, forgetting her anger as if she had become a fool, she decided to ask Eran about another subject.

“You’ve been worrying a lot lately. What is it about?”

It was a bonus to put the gold coin in his hand. Before long, Eran’s mouth opened.

“It must be because of the damn tower owner and crown prince.”

It was an answer that Sael had no choice but to listen to her. Eran had a conversation with the Mage Tower lord without Shael’s knowledge.

However, Shael did not know the details of the conversation between Eran and the mage lord. Somehow today, she seemed to be able to unravel the clue.

So as not to forget Eran’s words, Shael focused her everything on Eran.

Within seconds, Shael could only hold her breath.

Eran’s expression looked sad. He had a sullen expression on his face, as if he were groping for a sad past.

Ran, who only showed her trustworthy side, showed such a weak side.

Shael’s heart was shaken. She was to the point where she wanted to protect Eran.

Eran had such a sad expression on his face. It was clear that the owner of the mage tower and the crown prince had done evil to Eran.

Shael couldn’t bear to ask such a question about the past, so he asked Eran.

“Hmm, it looks like you’ve been preparing something lately. What is that?”

“It must be a cure. The cure requested by the owner of the magic tower and the crown prince.”

It was a story I had never heard from Eran’s mouth before.

Shael questioned about the cure Eran mentioned.

As a rule, drunken people mix lies with their words.

There was no way that only the truth would come out of Eran’s mouth when he was very drunk. However, Shael believed Eran’s words and repeated them in his head.

* * *

A cool breeze rushed in and covered her face. Through this, she shook off her tiredness and barely opened her eyes.

‘I think I drank wine with Sael.’

I don’t remember anything after that. All I vaguely remember was saying something to Shael with a sad expression.

‘What did he say?’

In my head, it was as empty as a white drawing paper. Even if she ate wine, it wouldn’t be this much, but it seems that Shael fed me something.

I didn’t think there was anything really strange in it. Even when she sipped her wine and felt weird, she just gulped it down.

“Mmm…”

In this case, it would be right for her to ask herself, but she didn’t want to wake Shael.

To pass the time, I got out of bed and opened the door.

Dr.

Then I saw the maids of the Azbel family busily moving around. When I followed them, feeling strange, I saw Duke Jespen.

“Duke, what is this?”

“You’re finally awake, Eran.”

Oddly enough, there was a bit of sympathy in Duke Jespen’s gaze at me.

“Don’t worry. I cut off communication with the Mage Tower in order to make it even a little harder for the owner of the Mage Tower.”

That was an answer I didn’t understand at all.

“It is impossible to obtain magic tools from the Mage Tower for the magic festival that the Azbel family will present at the Imperial Festival, so they are busy working.”

I tried to nod my head at the dignified tone of the Duke of Jespen. The Mage Tower lord must have minimized exchanges with the Azbel family to relieve Clie’s irritation.

Since she cut off that minimal exchange, the damage to the mage tower must be quite large.

Of course, the same goes for the Azbel family. I don’t know why the Duke of Jespen cut off the exchange even at his own expense.

When I looked at Duke Jespen with a look asking for further explanation, he replied.

“I heard that the prince is very interested in magic stones. So he collected all the magic stones exported to the imperial family.”

“Can I ask why you suddenly did that?”

“You’d better ask Shael about the exact thing. Oh, check the letter in the office, too.”

Abandoning the deal between the Magic Tower and the Imperial Family.

It was an advantage for me, who hates the tower lord and the crown prince extremely, but it was Duke Jespen’s behavior that I couldn’t quite understand.

First, as Duke Jespen said, I went to the office. There were a large amount of gold coins and two letters lying there.

‘The sender… The Magic Tower Master and the Crown Prince?’

I opened the letter nervously. I hurriedly read the contents, but this time, too, there were only incomprehensible contents in the letter.

‘Are you going to pay for a cure for blood clotting disease that you never asked for?’

Obviously that was written in the letter. The letter was also written as if I had asked for a fee.

I’m glad I needed the money.

But to be honest, my conscience stings. Contrary to what the letter said, I had no intention of making a cure.

‘Still, if the other person is the tower master and the crown prince, the story will be different.’

It was rather good. I even felt a sense of relief for those who must have been angry with me.

Those who think I can make a cure won’t even touch me anyway.

Still, I needed to find out how things were going.

Of course, the cause must have been Shael. Straight back to the room where Shael was sleeping, she looked at Shael, who was sleeping soundly.

I couldn’t wake up. With her back to the sleeping Shael, she looked out the window and thought of her future.

The Imperial Festival is two days away. Because I was drunk and slept for a very long time, it is safe to say that I had half a day left.

I’m a little nervous. My revenge against the female and male characters in the novel will begin at the Imperial Festival.

The tension, which I expected to last for a few hours, did not last long. It was because of the warmth I felt behind my back.

Shael was hugging me from behind. She was like that usually, but today, Shael’s hug felt refreshing.

“Are you awake?”

“Don’t worry.”

“Don’t worry.” It was never an appropriate answer to the question of whether it happened.

“Because I will punish the tower lord and the crown prince somehow.”

I was convinced by Sael’s words. It was clear that I had made a mistake while I was drunk.

‘I must have expressed my feelings of injustice toward the crown prince and the owner of the tower.’

Even now, I didn’t like the crown prince and the tower master. If things go wrong, they’re crazy about Clie and they’ll come to kill me.

Of course, that was fine. The problem was Shael. She was so enraged that her body shuddered just thinking about what Clie had done on Azbel Street.

So, if you were drunk, it wouldn’t be strange if you cursed at the owner of the tower and the crown prince.

“I think I spouted strange lies while I was drunk.”

I felt good thanks to Shael who promised to punish them. I couldn’t leave it like this.

Until the plan is over, we shouldn’t offend the owner of the tower and the crown prince as much as possible.

Duke Jespen’s severing of communication with the Mage Tower and the imperial family is also related to this, so the Azbel family will suffer loss.

“Don’t lie.”

Shael hugged me tighter. I gave up talking about it. Even if I said it, Shael wouldn’t change her mind.

Because Sael, who was filthy ignorant when I wanted to, was only quick to notice her at times like this.

Still, it wasn’t too bad. It was as if the stress she had suffered through so far was blown away by Shael’s embrace.

“You seem to be having a hard time even in your dreams.”

She laughs when I think of Shael, who must have been worried while watching her sleep. But this time, Sael’s worries were wrong.

“Don’t worry. In my dream, I robbed the hukou again.”

“Is that so?”

“Every time I said something, he put a gold coin in my hand.”

As if I didn’t like that I had a dream involving another woman, it was Shael who was holding me and pinching my arm.

“You seem to be meeting too many people. Then that hogu will fall in love with you.”

That won’t happen. Because I wasted so much money.

I laughed at Sael’s cute jealousy. For a while, she talked with Shael and healed her heart.
