Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

"Sweetie...?!"

Lord Tallaran gasped in shock when his daughter let go of his hand and rushed towards the black-haired boy.

"What the hell, man?! Banemor family was executed for some sort of treason and their territory was split apart! I was sure that you died!"

The moment that Burushi reached Zoemi, she grabbed his shoulders and hissed while shaking him around.

"Oi, healing skank, let go of him or I will melt your fucking arms off!"

The next moment, Roiso grabbed one of Burushi's arms and growled while raising her head just enough for one of her neon pink eyes to show a glistening form underneath the hood she was wearing.

"And you even got the acidic yandere bitch with you."

The blond-haired girl raised her brow without being either threatened or impressed while looking at the furious neon-pink-haired girl.

She did let go of Zoemi's shoulders though, and as she did, Roiso relaxed her grip too.

"Alright, I see that you have your memories back – both of you."

"...!"

The black-haired boy nodded before giving Roiso a side look that caused her to blush and fidget in unease.

"Yah, I was minding my own business living peacefully under queen Patishi protection when all of a sudden I woke up in the body of my three-year-old self."

Burushi responded with a short nod and an annoyed sigh.

"Sw-sweetie... you... you know those children...?"

Lord Tallaran approached them in a hurry while nervously looking at the extremely judgemental-looking Mizoe who remained completely still except for his eyes that were stuck on the blue-haired man.

"Ah, shit. We will have to talk later... Yes, papa!"

Burushi groaned and looked between Roiso and Zoemi before turning around and switching into a little girl mode and acting all cheerful towards her father.

"They are my friends!"

She added all happily.

"O-ohh... Friends... so... umm... oh dear..."

Modari Tallaran let out a bothered noise and his voice started to become more and more high-pitched as he spoke.

It was a behavior of a righteous man caught red-handed on doing something that he knew full well was bad.

"Hello, lord Modari."
"..."

"...hello, Zoemi..."

The black-haired boy greeted the blue-haired man and the hooded girl bowed her head too, to which lord Tallaran responded with a heavy sigh while getting even more green in the face.

"Eh? Papa, you know Zoemi...?"

Burushi blinked a few times before furrowing her brows and staring at her father who fidgetted in unease.

"Y... y... ye... yeah... I do... Umm... Zoemi and his father live in... umm.. territory... m... my territory..."

The unfortunate man seemed to be losing his composure with each second in which he was talking.

"Kalleronette territory?! Wait, so you were living so close by and didn't even think about visiting my village even with your memories back?! Here I was getting as far out of my way as possible to check up on you and you didn't care at all!"

The blond-haired girl gasped and huffed angrily at the black-haired boy.

"Not at all..."

"Zoemi, why don't we go and talk with your father for a bit and...?!"

Zoemi opened his mouth and Modari instantly tried to talk over him...

"My dad and I live in Tallaran territory, after all."


...but Zoemi merely waited a bit and finished what he wanted to say anyway...

"..."

"...papa...?"

The blue-haired man closed his mouth and eyes and took a deep breath while his daughter looked up at his face and asked in a shocked voice.

"... I will go talk to Mizoe before he will get so angry on his own that he will kill me..."

"EH?!"

Modari breathed out and declared while turning full ninety degrees all of a sudden and walking away while Burushi gaped in shock.

"What the hell is going on?!"

The blond-haired girl shook her head and turned to the black-haired boy for answers.

"That's what I want to know! Are you telling me that you are the love child that lord Modari has?!"

"What the fuck do you mean a love child?! Papa and mama are married! They can't officially reveal it because she is a commoner, but with me having two attributes, one of which is healing, things can turn around!"

Zoemi raised his hands and called out in a hushed voice, to which Burushi scoffed furiously before waving her hand in a domineering way.

"...oh... umm... sorry to be the one to tell you this, healing skank, but in the first place, there is no law or tradition that would forbid lower nobles from marrying commoners. Many do that, actually, unless, of course, they are born with an especially large mana reservoir or powerful variant attribute. If he doesn't want to make it official then... you know..."

Roiso flinched and started to awkwardly rub the back of her head while giving some much-needed explanation and context.

"...oh... ooohhh... uuu..."

Burushi stared at her wide-eyed as the realization dawned on her and her chin trembled before she gritted her teeth.

The blond-haired girl then turned towards her father who had her back turned on them and raised her hand.

"...water sprout..."

*splash*

"WHOA...?!"

She murmured and a stream of water condensed out of thin air and hit against the blue-haired man's back, causing him to jump and let out a choked voice.

"PAPA! I HATE YOU!"

Burushi cried out with a face red from fury and rushed inside the carriage...

"Meta...! Papa is a cheater and a liar! Uuuuu...!"

...where she dived into Metavicero's embrace and cried in a hurt voice...

"I can... beat him up for you..."

The white-as-snow girl gently patted her head and then awkwardly suggested as she was unable to come up with anything better to say.

"I must say, getting Metavicero was a good choice, although I am surprised you didn't turn to Miriette."

"Hmph!"

Zoemi merely glanced at the soaked noble before walking towards the carriage and leaning in while saying, but that only made Burushi scoff.

"I went for you first, but the only thing I learned was that you are most likely dead. And do not underestimate my survivor instinct – if you were dead because of the Espine family, I didn't want to be anywhere near their territory when Miri's memories return and she would kill everyone even remotely responsible for your death."

The blond-haired girl turned her head to show her face to the black-haired boy and declared grumpily.

"...yeah, no, I completely understand and agree. She would do that – thankfully, I was the one who triggered her memories to return. Although, it also gave her a big deal of trouble as she is under constant surveillance from her family, and she doesn't want to do anything risky out of consideration for the people who help me."

After maybe a second of hesitation, Zoemi nodded his head vigorously as it was impossible to not agree with Burushi's point. The black-haired boy did add some things that the blond-haired girl wasn't able to get information on.

"Hold on... so the mess in Victureo territory was caused by you?!"

Burushi sat up, moving away from Metavicero's lap, and asked in shock.

"Yeah..."

Zoemi nodded with an apologetic smile.

"Tsk. What a wasted opportunity...! If I know that you were alive and contacted you, we could arrange so either Grazio or Elsby would get injured, and then I could swoop in and heal them! I definitely want to get on Elsby's good side!"

"...!"

Burushi clicked her tongue and complained, causing Metavicero to lean back in shock.
