Rehabilitating the Villainess

Chapter 111: Gift (1)

The Azbel family and the Baslett family were busy preparing for the wedding.

Even though there are still a few days left before the ceremony, the family tried their best to make the wedding as grand as possible.

For the wedding venue, we decided to use the place I had seen with Shael at the Holy Land. The wedding venue was much larger than I thought, and Shael and I didnt have a lot of friends we could invite.

Of course, since wedding invitations were sent to the main members of the families that mainly traded with members of the Azbel and Baslett families, there was no way the wedding would be modest.

Shael and I were just thinking about the future, planning, and waiting for a beautiful marriage.

Even though there are still several days left, I am nervous.

Im not like that at all.

That was Shaels answer. Contrary to her answer, of course, Shaels hands were shaking. It was clear that she was also looking forward to marriage as much as me.

There is bound to be tension. We will be having a wedding at the wedding hall you saw back then, we also have a very pretty dress.

A dress that was commissioned at the dressing room. It was a dress that made me smile and made me feel happy just by looking at it.

If Shael wore that dress, it would put a tremendous strain on my heart.

I want to see her in that dress right now, but

I somehow endured it. For the happiness of the future that will come slowly but surely.

Lets just get out. Father and Duke Jespen will be waiting for you.

Duke Jespen and Duke Ezran would be coming after some time.

Shael and I would soon become a married couple. Therefore, both families were supposed to get together and have a meal together.

Kikiiik!

?

Shael gave me a questioning gaze. The reason was that she must have felt my attitude was more cautious than usual.

In response, I took Shaels hand and stepped down the stairs of Baslett Mansion.

What are you doing?

Shael asked while holding my hand.

She had a valid reason to ask such a question. Because I was acting overprotective, and treating Shael as if she was a treasure.

As I recalled the memories of the past in more detail, so I cant help but act like this.

The guilt I felt for Shael was what made me do that, and the conversation with Duke Ezran was the trigger.

Duke Ezran wasnt the only one who suffered in the timeline where I died. 

Shael must have gone through hard adversity too. I couldnt even fathom how much pain Shael must have felt.

I was the reason she was obsessed over Clies Bracelet of Holy Power in the original timeline and tried to take it away

Shael, who lost her fianc and stole the Bracelet of Holy Power from Clie in order to save me. I dont know how painful and heartbreaking it must have been. Even in the original novel, Shael had a miserable ending.

After fulfilling her wish through the Bracelet of Holy Power, she must have come to a disastrous conclusion soon after.

If I didnt feel sorry for Shael who did so much for me, that would be ridiculous. So I spoke to Shael, who was still standing on the stairs and glaring at me, with the guilt growing in my heart.

What if you accidentally slip on the stairs?

I can walk just fine on my own, so watch out for yourself.

Shael couldnt bear to get mad at the person who cared about her, so she grunted and passed me by.

It is alright to worry about something, but, dont do anything weird.

Then snapped at me with such a remark. 

I followed her, feeling my love for her grow even more.

I felt happy just walking down the hallway with Shael. 

Time passed before we knew it, and we arrived at the large dining room in the Baslett Mansion.

Duke Jespen and Duchess Enella were seated already. It was the same with Duke Ezran.

I thought it would definitely create an awkward atmosphere. Because Duke Ezrans personality was quite different from Duke Jespens.

Strangely, however, the atmosphere wasnt too bad. It was thanks to the friendship between Duke Jespen and Duke Ezran that was stronger than I thought.

Ezran, its been a while since I saw you, and your complexion seems to be better than before.

Duke Jespen said with a grin. 

Since he had been cured of the disease he had been suffering from, Duke Ezran had a brighter complexion than before.

And so, we talked about many things.

I was able to obtain a lot of information that would help strengthen the relationship between the Azbel family and the Baslett family, which had been close in the first place, and also received advice on how to better the Baslett familys difficult financial situation.

Suddenly Duke Jespen mentioned something strange.

Actually, something strange happened some time ago. Someone is destroying  books in the Azbel library.

And, Shael, who was eating dessert next to me, started coughing.

Is something wrong?

Oh, nonothing.

After exchanging some words with Shael, I spoke to Duke Jespen.

It must be a big issue. Arent there some important books in the Azbel familys library?

Duke Jespen, who tilted his head, said with a frown on his face.

Only books related to romance were damaged.

First of all, I was glad that the important books were safe. But, books related to romance? Why are only those books being damaged?

It was difficult to understand, and I didnt want to understand.

I found out today, and its the same with the Basletts library. Some of the books are torn out as well.

Duke Jespen pulled out some books. Most of them were books from the Baslett familys library.

As he said, a lot of pages were seriously torn out.

It wasnt a big deal, but I was curious and checked one of the books.
