Rehabilitating the Villainess

Chapter 110: Conversation (1)

Duke Ezrans eyes widened.

It made sense. His body, which was sore and tired just a while ago, was suddenly full of energy.

Just looking at his appearance, you could tell Duke Ezrans condition was getting better by the second. There was no way Duke Ezran didnt know that.

I dont understandhow can this happened.

Didnt I try to tell you? There is a way to cure it.

I fixed my eyes on the earrings I had given to Duke Ezran. 

Duke Ezran, noticing my gaze, touched the earrings.

Those earrings can cure any disease.

The notion itself seemed absurd, but Duke Ezran, who had already experienced the effect, nodded and accepted my words.

After taking a deep breath, I asked him, I want to know how you got sick and why.

I had roughly guessed the truth. It was clear that it was due to the contract he had made with the Demon King.

But I didnt want to stop there. I wanted to hear more details. 

If the disease was a shackle that prevented him from talking about the past timeline, he should be able to speak freely now that the disease had been cured.

Duke Ezran stayed silent for a moment, then said, As you might have guessed, I had made a deal with the Demon King. In order to make things interesting he gave me an incurable disease that eats away at life, and gets worse every time I bring up matters of the past and try to help you.

Duke Ezran put his hand near his heart, as if he was checking his own body condition.

Originally, he would have felt something wrong with his body because he directly brought up the matter of the deal, but now that his illness had been cured, and his body was fine.

Before long, Duke Ezran opened his mouth again,  Thats why I couldnt do anything until now. My body used to grow weak when I said something that was related to the deal or did something to help you.

Now that I think about it, Duke Ezran had never helped me no matter how dire the situation was. However, he would always drawn himself in Baslet familys work so that I could have spend time with Shael.

So thats the only way he could help

While I was living a happy life with Shael, Duke Ezran continued to work while fighting his illness.

I bit my lip, barely keeping myself calm. It was not the right time to express those feelings. I had to wait at least until I heard all of Duke Ezrans story.

I would like to hear more about the deal with that Demon King.

Duke Ezran, again remained silent for a moment, then opened his mouth.

A lot of things were sacrificed. I dont want to go into detail.

I had no choice but to be silent. 

Even when the constraints were lifted, I knew why Duke Ezran refrained from talking about the matter.

It must be because of me.

Since it was a deal to revive a person, many things must have been sacrificed in the transaction. It was clear that he was reluctant to talk because he was worried that I would blame myself for it.

Actually, I didnt even have to ask. Because I already knew about what had been lost due to the deal.

Duke Ezran had lost his Aura. Not only that, unlike the memories I had experienced after destroying the bracelet, the current Duke Ezran seemed a bit too cold and emotionless. It was a situation that could only be explained by the notion that he had lost his ability to feel.

In addition, Daria Baslett, who was my mother, was absent. 

That too must have happened because of me.

After thinking about that, I couldnt raise my head properly in front of Duke Ezran. He had sacrificed everything for me and endured immense pain.

Even so, I felt awkward in front of him and avoided the matter, so it was difficult to give him a dignified look.

I amsorry.

All I could do was sincerely apologize to Duke Ezran, who had lost everything because of me.

Duke Ezran still looked at me without showing any emotion. 

My heart ached as if it was being torn apart. That said, I didnt want to end it in an awkward way.

There is one thing I dont understand. Can you please explain?

Duke Ezran didnt answer my words. But it wasnt that he was ignoring it, as he nodded his head in response and opened the drawer next to the bed.

What Duke Ezran took out was a teacup with an antique and unique pattern and a photo.

The picture was painted with my favorite place, the garden, where I spend my time with Shael.

In the picture, Duchess Daria and Duke Ezran were drinking tea with a smile on their faces.

Duke Ezran glanced at the photo and looked at me,  You should be familiar with her.

Eh

When I checked the picture he took out, all the doubts in my heart turned to conviction, and I remembered the time before I came to this world, and the face of my aunt who had raised me appeared in my mind.

Then I moved my eyes to the teacup that Duke Ezran had taken out.

It was teacup with a familiar design. I had seen teacups with similar designs in my previous world.

The Baslett family had several types of tea even though no one liked it. They were the kinds of tea I had been drinking all the time even before I came to this world. 

Then, there was the garden, which had been beautifully maintained and rarely visited by people. It also had a similar shape to the one I had in my memories.

Even though I didnt like gardening very much, it was still my favorite place to spend time.

In the picture, Daria Baslett was sitting in the garden, and she was drinking her tea in a position familiar to me, with her left hand resting on her chin.
