Rehabilitating the Villainess

Chapter 115: Side Story – Running Errands I (1)

After reading a storybook to Ruelle, I woke up Shael who had fallen asleep, while leaning on my shoulder.

Ruelle immediately hugged her mother, and enjoyed her embrace. 

Shael also warmly embraced Ruelle.

Its amazing every time I see it

I didnt expect Shaels maternal love to be so great. To be honest, one couldnt say that Shaels personality was good. Nevertheless, Shaels love for Ruelle was endless. 

Thanks to that, Ruelle was able to grow up receiving deep love from both me and Shael.

I finished all the books!

When Ruelle showed off her achievement with a cute voice, Shael responded by patting Ruelles cheek with a loving gaze.

Just looking at them warmed my heart.

I, too, tried to snuggle up and enjoy a happy embrace. However, as always, Shael teased me with a mischievous smile.

Youve became the duke now, so shouldnt you have work to do?

Shaels words reminded me of my current identity.

Yes, as Shael said, I was now the Duke of House Baslett.

Duke Ezran, who had been working hard for a long time, finally decided to pass down the position of the head of the family. The process went smoothly because I had been taking care of the work for some time now.

By the way, when I get busy with work, Shael would pout with inflated cheeks.

Its such a Shael-like thing to do.

I couldnt help but give Shael and Ruelle a warm hug. 

But, as if reminded by Shaels words, Ruelles eyes widened as if she thought of something fun.

I want to go on an errand!

An errand?

Ruelle nodded her head.

Errand

Even if it wasnt a request from Ruelle, I was thinking of introducing her to the outside world someday. But that wasnt the case now. Ruelle was still only five years old. Let alone running errands, Ruelle had to lead a safe life in the mansion.

Oh, cant I?

It is possible.

Contrary to my thoughts, it was impossible for me to refuse when facing Ruelles earnest gaze.

We had numerous safety measures anyway. 

From a ring that tracked her position, to a necklace that was enchanted with great protection magicno one in the in the Empire would be able to harm her.

In the first place, I was also planning to follow Ruelle.

Ruelle looked up at me with sparkling eyes. It was a gaze that wanted to know what she would have to do.

Wouldnt buying milk be all right?

Yes!

The reason why we chose milk for Ruelles errand was simple. She loved to drink milk.

Then tomorrow

Lets go today!

Ruelle said with a cute tone. Of course, there was no way I could refuse.

I gave Ruelle enough money to buy milk, then gave her the ring and the necklace for her safety. That alone should be enough, but I also put a separate protection spell on her because of my overflowing worries.

Ill be back!

Unlike Shael, who was slow, Ruelle moved quickly, and left the mansion.

Is this really alright?

A child running errands at the age of only five. Still, there was nothing to worry about. 

Less than 10 seconds after Ruelle left the mansion, Shael and I left as well. Even though we didnt talk to each other, we implicitly executed the same action.

Wed better follow suit now.

Yes, we should.

And so, we left the mansion. 

We saw Ruelle was walking through the field, murmuring to herself.

It was a scene fatal to the heart.

Running around to catch butterflies, smelling the scent of the pretty flowers, Ruelle walked on to complete her mission.

So cute.

Of course. Whose daughter do you think she is?

That was Shaels answer, probably indicating that she was cute herself.

Its true, so it doesnt matter.

Anyway, that wasnt something that was important now. 

Now I fixed my eyes on Ruelle, who was moving at a brisk pace.

At some point, Ruelle arrived at the plaza of the Baslett familys estate, where there were quite a few people.

Ruelle walked on, brightening the somber atmosphere of the Basletts estate with her presence.

It felt like Ruelle was the moon in the night sky, making me feel a strange sense of pride.
