Chapter 48: The villainess questions (1)

Chae-ae-aeng!

It was the sound of me drawing my sword.

At that refreshing sound, Clie looked at me in bewilderment.

But that was only for a moment as Clie carefully changed the flow of the output.

Dense holy power hovered around Clie, who had finished grasping the situation in seconds.

I became nervous. Compared to the faint holy power that had blocked my voice earlier, it was an incomparable amount. And, Clie’s holy power wrapped around my body before I could even react.

I could feel the weight on my body. It was to the point where my body couldn’t move properly.

Clie was smiling again. Even though I had drawn my sword, she seemed to regard me as not much of a threat.

Shhhing!

Since I couldn’t even move my body properly, I put back the sword I had pulled out. I was convinced that I shouldn’t fight.

The holy power that Clie possessed was too powerful. It was something completely different from the original novel.

Perhaps even Duke Jespen would have trouble contending against the current Clie.

I didn’t actually unsheath my sword with the intention of cutting her down. I was just angry, and I did that as a threat.

But now that things had come to this, such threats were useless.

Thinking that my life might be in danger, I had to control my anger.

It was natural to control your anger in front of a strong person.

First of all, I had to gather information.

When I unsheathed the sword, Clie also erased her holy power.

“As far as I know, holy power doesn’t have this kind of power.”

“Yes, that’s right, Young Lord.”

Then what kind of holy power did you use?

Clie seemed to understand my question, “Because I am special.”

Then what about me? I wasn’t as good natured as Eran Baslett from the novel.

While reading the novel, I was just a bit more interested to the story of Shael, and became curious about why she became a villainess.

However, what was the reason now that I had become a part of the novel?

Of course, if I succeeded in rehabilitating the villainess, only good things would happen. But I didn’t really have to do it that urgently.

Because I had the status of being the son of a duke. Even if I abandoned Shael and separated from her, I could live an affluent life.

But I would never do that. The reason was simple. So I spoke clearly to Clie, who was still waiting for my answer.

“Shael is cute. Unlike someone who is like a snake.”

“Pffft!” Clie asked back with a laugh, “Do you really think so?”

Certainly, it was a statement that would make anyone doubtful. But there were many moments I could think of where Shael was exceptionally cute.

Our pitiful battle of pride with a teacup.

The times when she asked for desserts.

And the times when she secretly ate the desserts.

So I said while pondering over Shael’s actions.

“Everything she does is cute. Oh, and I also need to see my daughter.”

Clie looked even more bewildered compared to when I had unsheathed my sword earlier.

I mean, she had already seen Ruelle, so she would probably think that we might really have a hidden daughter.
