Rehabilitating the Villainess

Since he was unable to spend time with his beloved wife, Duke Jespen decided to spend some time with his lovely daughter now that he had the chance.

However…

“Hmph!”

Shael didn’t respond to that request, as she proudly turned around, and calmly walked to the room where Eran was.

“Sha…Shael?”

Shael could hear Duke Jespen’s desperate cry, but she couldn’t help it. Her father had to be punished for dragging Eran down a bad path. 

No, even if that wasn’t the case, Shael wanted to spend her time with Eran. In fact, this was a more important moment than any other time.

Plop!

Shael opened the wine bottle that she was holding in her hand. It was a wine that was particularly known for its strength.

And then, she added the Potion of Intoxication in the bottle. 

The potion was something Shael had bought on the black market auction before. It was something that prevented drunkenness from being shaken off with magical power, and made it impossible for even a superhuman to overcome the drunkenness.

It was perfect! 

Shael held the wine that was supposed to make Eran drunk in her left hand, and she held a small potion in her right hand. It was the potion she found while riding with Eran in his clothes.

[I can’t remember. It seems to be some sort of medicine…]

Eran made such an excuse. However, he must have known the use of the potion.

It would be convenient if she requested the help of the pharmacist in the Azbel family. However, Shael planned to make Eran speak directly about the use of the potion by getting him drunk.

She wanted to scold Eran, who seems to be addicted to gamb1ing these days. 

And, she would also fulfill her personal interest. 

A very perfect plan!

Shael smiled with satisfaction and headed towards Eran.

* * *

The situation went according to Shael’s plan. 

Shael passed the wine to Eran, and Eran drank it.

Actually, Eran must have noticed something strange in the wine glass. But he had great faith in Shael, so he drank the wine without question.

“Go ahead, drink.”

Even though his throat was quite sore, Eran, drunk, unable to refuse Shael’s order and emptied his wine glass.

“Mmm…” Eran groaned. 

Unlike usual, Shael saw Eran’s face flushed red. It meant that her covert operation had succeeded.

Shael spoke to Eran, expecting to see a new side of him, “Are you okay?”

Eran’s eyes stayed on Shael. After staring at her face for a moment, he finally opened his mouth.

“Money bag?”

“…?”

Shael doubted her own ears. What did Eran say to her now?

Money bag?

‘This is nonsense. I must have heard wrong…’ 

Shael listened to Eran’s words, hoping to hear something else.

“You are the money bag who gave me money at the gamb1ing house.”

Shael tried her best to deny it, but in the end, she had to accept it. Eran had mistook her for the woman she had become using the camouflage magic tool. That’s why Eran was now calling her a money bag.

Shael compromised with reality. She then resolved to ask Eran something she had always wanted to know.

“What is your thoughts about the woman named Shael?”

Of course, the woman in question was Shael herself. But she wanted to put on a graceful performance, just like when she used her camouflage magic tool, and asked Eran about his evaluation of herself.

“Shael is cute. Of course appearance isn’t everything, her personality also matters…”

Shael blushed at her lover’s burdensome words. Even though she didn’t ask for more, Eran continued to speak.

“She is so lovely that I feel like I’m addicted to her. And…”

A few minutes passed like that…and praise continued to flow out from Eran’s mouth.

Shael was on the verge of dying of shame.

‘This person…why is he saying such embarrassing things?’

Eran, who usually refrained from saying such things, saying something this cheesy.

The intensity of shame Shael was feeling made her want to die. However, the corner of Shael’s mouth still pointed upwards. It was obviously embarrassing, but Shael still felt good without knowing why.

“Oh, come to think of it.”

Finally Eran stopped praising Shael, and she felt a little sad about that, but it wasn’t too much. She wanted to hear what he wanted to say next.

Shael waited and waited for Eran to finish his words.

“I really wanted to meet you again…”

Shael startled and shuddered at the words. 

‘Did he want to meet another woman?’

There was no word more irritating to Shael than that. She waited for Eran’s words, puffing up her cheeks to hold back her anger.

“Because my Shael took all my money. So, I need to get some money again.”

Honestly, there couldn’t be a more trashy remark than this. It wouldn’t be strange if Shael just reach out her hand to slap the guy. But Shael wasn’t in a bad mood, rather, she was smiling shyly.

Eran had used the word ‘my’ while taking about her. It was as if he was bragging about his feelings for Shael to another woman.

What’s more, Eran just wanted to extort more money from the supposed woman.

This new side of Eran was thrilling and new. 

And, Shael set her eyes on Eran as she vowed to dig through all of his intentions and secrets.
