Rehabilitate the Villainess

114 – Abduction: A New Family

I was heading to the Azbel family’s mansion while holding Sael’s hand.

All actions with extreme caution. Shael must never hit anything, and she must not slip.

A leaf appeared in front of Sael.

Even if it was a leaf, if it was in front of Sael, it would be a huge obstacle.

“Please stop.”

After carefully blowing away the leaves with magic so they wouldn’t touch Sael, he grabbed Sael’s hand again.

But Shael didn’t move her body as if her soles were glued to the ground.

“Do you have any problems?”

“You’re too overprotective.”

Overprotective.

“I don’t know what a human life is. Even if you step on the wrong leaf…”

Sael didn’t listen to me and moved on.

“If you keep doing that, I will use my magic.”

“That, not as much as that.”

Using magic is a very difficult exercise. So it’s not as good as using magic. Because intense and extreme exercise can’t be good for pregnancy.

I managed to get Shael to sit on her bench while threatening to use magic to control me.

After that, it was time to have a happy time.

I gently put my hand on Sael’s belly and felt the child move little by little.

“Can you stroke it harder?”

“No.”

“⋯⋯.”

It can’t be. Because strong stimulation will not be good for the child.

Actually, it’s okay if you do. I was very worried. In the first place, I could have been satisfied with being able to feel the child to this extent.

“I can feel it moving.”

“Really?”

Shael also put her hand on her stomach. Then her faint fetal movements returned to their usual state.

“Boo, I guess it’s because I’m shy.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Of course, my mother would be better than my father.”

A laugh came out at Shael’s forced excuse. The same was true of Shael, who pitifully made her excuses.

“I hope to see you soon.”

“I am so nervous.”

As Sael said, it’s already been several months since we had a baby.

Nevertheless, I hardly ever got used to the fact that I became a father.

I became overprotective of Shael, and whenever I felt her baby move, I made a fuss about her and did stupid things.

Lately I’ve been acting like an idiot.

‘Shouldn’t Sael be in a bad mood?’

Of course, she was Shael, who threatened to use her magic if she overprotected her.

It seemed like an act close to a joke. Even now, Sael held out her hand, asking her to lead him again.

But, just in case. Although she seemed like this on the outside, on the inside, she might not like my stupid behavior.

When I was in a complicated agony, it was Shael who erased my agony cleanly.

“Aren’t you cleaning?”

“⋯?”

I came to my senses at Sael’s words and looked ahead. The leaves were piled up in front of Shael.

Shael saw this and asked him to put it away. I couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

Shael: She used to get annoyed with being overprotective.

‘Are you doing this on purpose because it looks like I’m being watched?’

It was a fact that I could tell from the way Shael looked at me.

It seemed like I should make dessert for Shael. It was a trade of sorts.

Since Sael had her baby, I didn’t give him dessert as much as possible.

Actually, it didn’t matter because I could make a dessert that wasn’t harmful to my body, but⋯⋯.

As for Shael, she only ate my dessert, so she didn’t touch any other kind of food. So, she said, she was banned from dessert.

I took Sael’s hand and came to the restaurant on Baslet Street. However, the dessert she had prepared in advance was nowhere to be seen.

It was familiar. Because it’s been like this ever since.

The culprit was obvious.

“Again, did you eat dessert because you couldn’t stand it?”

Shael’s answer was obvious.

Obviously, he would have made excuses, saying, ‘I was hungry… what should I do?’.

However, Sael’s answer exceeded my imagination. Rather, her words were more than enough to win me over.

Shael puts her hand on her heavy-looking belly and looks at me with pitiful eyes.

Shael’s mouth opened with her bewitching smile.

“My Ruelle ⋯ wants to eat the dessert her dad made ⋯⋯.”

This is…

It was a battle I had no choice but to lose. In the end, I gave Sael a huge dessert.

* * *

After Sael had a child, time passed quickly.

Sael’s stomach grew heavier, and her precious life soon came out into the world.

Her baby, who had been crying loudly since she was born, was able to speak with her right away, and she took on a striking resemblance to Shael.

Sky blue hair reminiscent of clear river water and blue eyes.

She was such a cute daughter that I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was also the kind of daughter that would drive you crazy just by looking at her because she was adorable.

Of course, my daughter’s name was Ruel.

Time passed quickly just by imprinting his lovely daughter on her eyes.

At some point, Ruel was five years old.

Ruelle’s favorite hobby was reading. Even now, Ruel was eagerly reading a storybook in my arms.

When she turned her head, Shael was lying on her bed, sleeping soundly. Even when she was sleeping she had her head towards me.

‘She’s so happy.’

He stroked Ruel. Then, when she let go of her hand, Ruel’s head also followed. I meant to stroke her hair more.

There was no need to refuse. Patting such a cute daughter’s hair was a benefit to me too.

According to Ruel’s request, she put her hand on Ruel’s head and waited for her Ruel to open her mouth.

Finally Ruelle spoke in her sullen voice.

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

I heard that. But I couldn’t understand. Restricting titles even to cute children?

Aristocratic society was difficult.

“Should I do the same?”

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

“Yes, ah!”

Sometimes when he calls me with a leaky pronunciation, he laughs.

While talking about such a cute story, Ruel shifted his gaze to her children’s book.

I meant to read the book.

“How far have you read…”

“Yogi, even the scene where Alice meets the thief!”

Ruel saw what she was pointing with her dainty finger.

—-A thief wearing a black robe checked Elise. She hurriedly ran away from Alice, but she managed to pull out her sword and the thief charged at Alice.

As I read the contents, I saw Ruel who was in trouble.

It was a children’s book with an obvious happy ending, but young Ruel didn’t know that. To Ruel, who has a strong sense of immersion, the current content must have felt serious.

“Ruel, are you okay?”

“Yes!”

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

I was going to hurry up and read a fairy tale so that we could see Ruel defeating the bad thief.

Po.

But a small yet sharp sound came. Ruel’s tiny hands were tearing the storybook very slightly.

ㅡDo wearing a black robe

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

ㅡDuk checked Alice.

I looked at Ruel at this. Because I wondered what the purpose of tearing the book was.

Ruel held his head upright with his hand on his waist. Then he said it proudly.

“Done!”

When I did something, it meant that I had dealt with the thief. It was the process of tearing up the book appropriately and separating the word ‘thief’ from a distance.

“Ah, yes…”

“Uhh⋯⋯.”

I thought I would stick her head out to be stroked. Contrary to my thoughts, however, Ruel stood still with his mouth open.

I moved my eyes along Ruel’s pupils.

ㅡA thief with a knife drawn

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

—-I ran towards Reese.

Not only the thief, but Alice, the heroine of the fairy tale, was also split in half.

Ruel, who was dazed for a moment with a cute appearance, came to his senses. There was a small amount of magic power gathered in Ruel’s hands.

Eventually, as Ruel waved his hand, the cracked pages quickly stuck together. The book has been restored to its original form.

I’ve seen Ruel’s magic before, but I was impressed. To think he could use such wonderful magic at the young age of five.

It was clear that he inherited Sael’s talent.

“Whoops!”

“What’s wrong again…?”

I followed Ruel’s gaze just like before.

—-A thief wearing a black robe checked Elise.

The crest that Ruel tore has become a normal crest again thanks to Ruel’s magic.

“Do, the thief appears again…”

Looking at it now, Ruel didn’t just inherit Shael’s magical talent.

It was clear that Ruel inherited even Sael’s eccentricity from her.

When I turned her head at the sudden feeling, Shael, who had been sleeping in her bed, was dozing off leaning against me at some point.

The happy daily life of a strange yet close-knit family has begun.
