Rehabilitating the Villainess

In the end, I was the one who was defeated by Shael. 

I had no choice but to make a promise not to touch anything related to gamb1ing from now on.

‘It’s a pity that I missed out on making a fortune.’

Since Shael hated it so much, I couldn’t help it. 

I was worried about the Baslett family’s finances, but fortunately, Shael said that the Azbel family would provide support to the family little by little.

‘Then, all that’s left is to tell the Barslett family about this directly.’

Finally, I came out of the Azbel family mansion with Shael, still full of joy and happiness. 

Our next destination was Baslett Estate.

* * *

The Baslett family had a completely different atmosphere from the Azbel family.

Unlike the Azbel family, who were making a ruckus about the news of our marriage, the Baslett family was silent.

From the beginning, the people of the Baslett family, who were obsessed with the way of the sword, was like that, but today the silence was particularly severe.

And, I understood the reason why as soon as I met the butler.

“Young Lord! You are finally here!”

“Why is the atmosphere like this?”

“The lord is ill. He coughed up blood a little while ago while watching over the swordsmanship of one of the knights.”

I had seen Duke Ezran coughing up blood before. At the time, I thought it was due to the restriction placed on him to prevent the leakage of secrets…but now it seemed that it wasn’t the case at all!

‘I have to do something about it.’

As I was lost in my thoughts, I heard the butler’s words.

“I couldn’t deliver the news quickly because the family lord told me not to do so.”

“From now on, just tell me right away.”

After talking with the butler, I headed to the room where Duke Ezran was resting.

“It will be fine. There are many excellent medicinal herbs in the Azbel family.”

Shael tried to comfort me as she looked at me to check if I was feeling down.

My heart, which was anxious, suddenly calmed down from Shael’s actions.

It wasn’t long before I saw Duke Ezran’s room. 

I knocked on the door with tension in my body.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Duke Ezran gave permission to come into the room.

Kikiiik!

I opened the door. 

At the same time, my eyes fell on Duke Ezran. 

His condition was worse than I thought. His forehead was dripping with cold sweat, his arms were shaking as if it were cold, and his eyes were half-closed from exhaustion.

There was no change in his expression, but his body was expressing his condition.

“Ahh, are you okay?”

“I’m just tired from practicing swordsmanship.”

He was lying. His condition was too severe to be called tired due to intense training.

There was a reason why the butler had an anxious expression on his face.

“If you don’t have anything more to say, then get out.”

As soon as I heard Duke Ezran’s words, I began to worry even more.

‘Would it be correct to ask some questions here?’

I could make the situation worse by asking something rashly. Duke Ezran had vomited blood while trying to reveal something to me about my memories of the past timeline. So, I decided to tell him the news about Shael and me. 

I had sent a letter in advance, but he probably wasn’t able to check it due to his condition.

Therefore, I said while holding the hand of Shael, who was standing still next to me.

“I decided to marry Shael.”

Duke Ezran turned to look at us, his eyes struggled to express his emotions.

“It took you long enough. Congratulations nonetheless. Hurry up and inform the rest of the Baslett family of this news.”

Nodding his head, Duke Ezran closed his eyes again, clearly exhausted from the fatigue.

Yes, I will make sure to ask him once I solve the problem.

Kikiiik!

It was then that someone opened the door and entered the room.

‘He came in without knocking?’

There was no way something like that would happen unless it was very urgent. However, the huge variety of medicines the person was carrying showed the seriousness of the situation.

“Hhh…Young Lord?”

“Is my father’s condition serious? I want you to tell me the situation too.”

“That’s actually…”

The physician turned to look at Duke Ezran, who was already asleep. 

His breathing was regular.

Then physician lowered his voice and said, “Milord is suffering from an unknown and incurable disease. His condition is quite severe…”

If even a physician from a ducal house didn’t know about the disease, then it could be regarded as a disease that no one in the empire would know about as well.

The physician and Shael must have known that, and their expressions turned gloomy.

As we were lost in the gloom, the sudden voice of Duke Ezran was heard.

“What does it matter? Eran will have to take over everything anyway. So it shouldn’t pose a problem at all.”

“Milord…”

The physician approached my father with medicine in an attempt to save him somehow.

However, Duke Ezran shook his head as if it was unnecessary. Then he asked everyone to leave the room except for me.

“First of all, congratulations on your marriage to Shael. It’s just a pity that I don’t have much time left.”

Duke Ezran kept his expression calm even as he spoke such sorrowful words, like he usually did.
