Rehabilitating the Villainess

After Shael was found to be pregnant, time passed very quickly.

Her stomach grew bigger by the day, and finally, the precious life came out into the world.

Our baby girl began to cry loudly as soon as she was born. 

And then, as she grew a little, she came to have a striking resemblance to Shael.

She had sky blue hair reminiscent of clear river water and a pair of blue eyes. She was such a cute daughter that I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was absolutely adorable!

Of course, we named her Ruelle.

Time passed quickly as I watched my lovely daughter grow up.

At some point, Ruelle was five years old.

She loved to listen to me read her stories. Even now, she was eagerly listening to a storybook while sitting on my lap. 

When I turned my head, I found that Shael was lying on our bed, sleeping soundly. Even when she was sleeping, she had her head facing towards me.

‘She seems happy.’

I stroked Ruelle’s hair. Then, when I removed my hand, Ruelle’s head also followed. Meaning, she wanted me to stroke her hair more.

I had no reason to refuse. I was more than willing to stroke such a cute daughter’s hair.

According to Ruelle’s request, I put my hand on Ruelle’s head and continued to read.

“In some aristocratic families, they call daddy ‘father’ for the sake of dignity.”

I knew they did that, but I couldn’t understand why they would teach such restricting titles to their cute children.

Aristocratic society was indeed quite complex.

Ruelle spoke in a sullen voice.

“Should I do the same?”

“No, you don’t have to. You can call me whatever you want.”

“Yes, daddy!”

The way she called me made me laugh.

Then Ruelle shifted her gaze to the children’s book, meaning she wanted me to continue.

“How far have I read…”

“Hmm, it’s the scene where Alice meets the stranger!”

Ruelle pointed at the page with her dainty finger.

“A stranger wearing a black robe attacked Alice. She hurriedly ran away, but the stranger pulled out a sword and charged at Alice.”

As I read the contents, I noticed that Ruelle seemed to have gotten quite anxious.

In fact, this story had a happy ending, but young Ruelle didn’t know that. To her, who has a strong sense of immersion, the current content must have seemed quite serious.

“Ruelle, are you okay?”

“Yes!”

Ruelle, who wiped away her tears and nodded her head vigorously, and held up the book.

I wanted to hurry up and reach the part we could see Alice defeating the bad stranger

Krrrrrrt…

But I heard a small yet sharp sound. 

Ruelle’s tiny hands were tearing the storybook ever so slightly.

“The stranger wearing a black robe…”

The page I was reading just now was slightly torn. Because of that, the sentence was also divided in half.

“…failed to harm Alice.”

After reading that I looked at Ruelle. Because I was feeling curios why she was tearing the page.

Ruelle held her head upright and put her hand on her waist. Then she proudly said, “Done!”

It meant that she had successfully dealt with the bad guy. The process of tearing up the page and separating the word ‘stranger’ from ‘Alice’ was her way of saving Alice.

“Uhh…”

I thought she would stick her head out for a head pat, but contrary to my thoughts, Ruelle just stood still in a daze.

Therefore, I moved my eyes along Ruelle’s gaze…

[The stranger readied his sword again…]

Apart from the previous sentence, the sentence below was also divided in half.

[…and ran towards Alice.]

This time, not only the bad stranger, but Alice, the heroine of the story, was also split in half.

Ruelle, who was dazed for a moment with a cute appearance, came to her senses. Then, a small amount of mana gathered in her hands.

Eventually, as Ruelle waved her hand, the torn pages were quickly fixed. The page was now restored to its original form.

I had seen Ruelle use magic before, but I was still impressed. To think she could use such complex magic at the young age of five. It was clear that she inherited Shael’s talent for magic.

“Whoops!”

“What’s wrong?”

Again, I followed Ruelle’s gaze just like before.

[A stranger wearing a black robe attacked Alice.]

The line that Ruelle had torn was fixed again thanks to Ruelle’s magic.

“Hmph..the bad guy appeared again…”

Looking at it now, Ruelle didn’t just inherit Shael’s magical talent. It was clear that she had inherited even Shael’s eccentric nature.

Suddenly, I felt something on my body. When I turned my head, I found that Shael, who had been sleeping on the bed, was at some point was dozing off leaning against me.

And so, the happy daily life of a strange yet close-knit family had begun.
