Rehabilitating the Villainess

The good news soon spread throughout the entire Azbel family mansion.

The maids who were interested in the relationship between Shael and me were busy screaming happily, and Duke Jespen was busy humming with all sorts of colorful tunes.

Now I would only have to break the news to the Baslett family. 

However, the night was already quite deep, so I put off the matter of breaking news to the Baslett family until tomorrow.

I only gave Duke Ezran a tip in advance by letter.

At the moment, Shael and I were sitting while facing each other and having tea as usual.

Looking at Shael sipping her tea, I smiled, and received a cute glare in response. 

As I kept staring at Shael like that, the shy villainess had no choice but to grumble.

“Stop staring…”

“No. Since we are soon to be married, does it make sense that we can’t even look at each other?”

Shael remained silent, having nothing to say in response. She just blushed and turned her head away.

As I continued to stare at her like that, Shael let out a sigh, and glared at me again. She seemed to be feeling extremely shy, and wanted me so stop staring at her.

Of course, there was no way I would listen to her, and tired to counter Shael’s glare with a strange proverb.

“There is a saying that married couples are of one mind.”

“What are you saying all of a sudden?”

“So after all, I am yours and you are mine. There’s no harm if I just stare at you, right?”

Shael, who couldn’t bear to refute, approached me. Then she stretched her hand to pinch at my cheek.

“Can I pinch my husbands cheek like this?”

“You can.”

“…..”

I wanted the relationship between us as a married couple to be more comfortable than that.

Anyways, I noticed Shael’s thoughtful expression when I brought up the proverb. However, that thoughtful expression changed the next instant. It seemed that she was planning something.

“Then you shouldn’t gamb1e, right?”

“I don’t understand why you suddenly brought up the matter of gamb1ing.”

Obviously, Shael wanted to use this logic to make me give up gamb1ing.

However, not matter what she said, I would never stop gamb1ing.

‘Of course not!’

Why? It was because I knew the future.

The current timeline had only covered about half of the plot of the original novel. So I would be able to have a huge advantage in gamb1ing.

For example, I would be able to guess the winner of any popular tournaments in the empire with the knowledge I had of the future.

Utilizing that knowledge would be of great help to the Baslett family’s finances, which have been going through tough times lately. I might even be able to help the wealthy Azbel family.

As I was lost in my thoughts about gamb1ing, Shael grumbled.

“You said that married couples are of one mind.”

“Why are you bringing that up here?”

“I hate gamb1ing, so you shouldn’t be gamb1ing either.”

To be honest, she was right. Still, I couldn’t give in to Shael’s words. I had to gamb1e, and I also wanted to annoy Shael.

“Then I should be able to gamb1e to my heart’s content for a while.”

“Why?”

“It’s because we aren’t married yet.”

Realizing that fact, Shael hardened her face.

“So far, you’ve been using the word marriage a lot…”

I watched Shael’s expression change in real time, and laughed.

Shael looked at me and said, “If we really become a married couple, you should prepare yourself.”

“Hmmm, prepare myself? What do you mean?”

Shael followed up with some scary words, “There is a proverb that says that couples do not stop fighting.”

“…..”

I imagined that future in my head—I was teasing Shael, but in the end, I was getting scolded by her .

“However, there is a saying that a fight between married couples is similar to cutting water with a knife.”

“Really?” Shael, who was watching me with a smile, opened her mouth, “Then will it be safe even if I cut it as hard as I can with a sword?”

‘Wait. Is that really true?’

I felt a cold sweat run down my back at Shael’s ominous words.

Of course, Shael must be saying that as a joke.

For some reason, it seemed to me that my future would be like being held captive by Shael. However, that future made me happy. 

Whatever future it was, I’d be able to enjoy it as long as I was with Shael.

And now, that future was not far away.

Thinking about the future made me smile in genuine happiness.
