Rehabilitate the Villainess chapter 24

24 – The Villainess Shows Bitterness to Her Fiance

“⋯⋯If you’re going to pass out in one shot, why the hell did you go out?”

Shael said coldly. She had an atmosphere that reminded me of Sael from the past. The atmosphere before she cursed at Shael, saying that I was a bitch like a dog.

Shael was waiting for my answer.

“⋯⋯ If only I had had time to draw the knife, she wouldn’t have passed out.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Shael said in a tone as if she didn’t believe my excuse.

It was true though. It was me with the blood of the famous swordsman, the Baslett family.

If I had had time to pull out my sword, I could have avoided fainting.

Even though he knew how to use magic, it was a very short time.

Shael was still glaring at me.

“Are you really worried?”

“No.”

Of course, Sael directly denied my words.

I have nothing to say. I looked around in an awkward atmosphere.

It was a fairly large hospital room. On the table in the corner were medicines that seemed tasteless at first glance, and packs of unknown juices.

As if Sael noticed my gaze, he grinned and said.

“The doctor told me to feed them all.”

Shael pointed to the piled up items on the table. They were packs of all kinds of medicines and juices I had seen.

The amount was unbelievable.

In the first place, I had a big wound on my stomach, not a disease. I didn’t need to take those drugs.

The wound wasn’t too deep to die. Even if the side effects are not burdensome to treat with healing magic, it is not enough to take medicine.

I didn’t want to take those pills for a little resilience.

It was as if Sael had read my mind. So it was only natural that the villainess brought me medicine.

She put the packs of medicines and juices beside my bed with her own hands.

“Eat everything.”

It was a staggering number of drugs. It seemed to be more than twenty pills of medicine that the master of the magic tower must have taken.

No, it couldn’t even be compared to that. There were also several kinds of concentrates made from various herbs.

“⋯You gave the magic tower lord twenty pills, but are you giving me medicines that make it difficult to even count them?”

Shael nodded her head. She tore off the wrapping paper of the medicine herself. She took my hand and started to place the pills on top.

No, I started building it.

“⋯How long are you going to build it?”

Shael didn’t stop at my words. It wasn’t until quite a few pills piled up that she stopped. There were heaps of pills in my hand.

“⋯I will die from an overdose.”

“People don’t die easily.”

I had no choice but to put the medicine in my mouth. Fortunately, there were no medications that had side effects just because I took a lot of them.

Still, the villainess took care of it for me, but she couldn’t throw it away.

No, wasn’t it for me?

It was the sound of me chewing a pill. Thought was short.

⋯It’s a pill, but she didn’t even give me water. I was chewing on those bitter pills.

I glared at Shael with a bitter taste. Rather, she smiled at my eerie gaze.

I swallowed the pills with difficulty. I needed something to rinse my mouth with. Even though I had already swallowed it all, I still felt the bitter taste.

“⋯Water. Please give me some water.”

“There is no water, but something similar.”

Shael started giving me the juices that were placed next to my bed.

She ⋯ She was told to drink herbal concentrate instead of water. Is this really the way people think?

But I couldn’t say anything.

Chewing those countless pills caused more pain than I thought. It’s too bitter and frustrating. I felt like I had to drink something right now.

It was also impossible to use magic related to water. Drinking enchanted water has no effect.

It just gives you the feeling of swallowing the air.

There was no other way. Once she started drinking the concentrate she gave her.

But that wasn’t the answer. The concentrate the evil woman gave her was very bitter. She was grotesque.

This, too, was clearly what the wicked woman was aiming for.

“They say bitterness is good for your health.”

Shael must have noticed my pain, she was saying things that scratched my insides.

She was the one who was injured on behalf of herself, but the treatment was disgusting.

I decided to personally sacrifice my body for her. The method was simple. It was to deceive the wicked woman.

“Ah, this juice is more delicious than I thought.”

“⋯?”

“Are there any more?”

Shael lowered the corner of her mouth that was up. Then she put on a puzzled look. It can’t be like this, he thought.

To make her even more flustered, I endured her pain and started gulping down another juice I could get her hands on.

“This juice is quite sweet.”

It was something the devil liked. Just the right thing. She likes sweet foods. So, this was the best way to stimulate her curiosity.

Shael was staring at me with disdain.

Then Shael secretly took a juice that was lying next to me and took it into his hand.

Stupid villain, she never thought I would dare to act. She took it to her mouth.

Then he started drinking.

“Fhehehe!”

⋯The Villainess was weak against bitterness.

“Dirty, what are you doing in front of patients?”

“⋯”

Sael couldn’t even refute my words, and she made a moaning noise.

After that time passed, the wicked woman came to her senses. She wasn’t staring at me.

Shael was pondering something. Predictably, he was looking for a way to annoy me.

Shael called someone to bring food.

It was a feast.

Shael started putting food in front of me as well. ⋯However, unlike the ones placed in front of Sael, they were shabby.

“⋯What is it?”

“Eat. They say that eating like that is good for your health.”

Of course it will. In front of me, there was only food that would be good for the body even if it looked like it. In other words, they were tasteless.

Shael proudly began to eat the well-prepared food by himself. I said looking at her.

“Feeding only healthy food for me shows how much you really love me.”

At that, Sael stopped eating and continued to cough. She then started glaring at me.

But Shael stopped it. Shael started thinking about something. Suddenly Shael laughed and she started giving me some side dishes as well.

It was strange. There was no way she would succumb with a single word. It was an absolutely unacceptable situation.

*

When Ran was hit by her magic instead of him, Shael doubted her eyes.

Why on earth did he receive magic on his behalf? It was even Eran who lost her mind when she was hit by her magic before she was ready.

Come to think of it, he was always like this. Even when he injured his hand when the teacup broke, even when he was in danger of being poisoned.

Eran was helping himself.

She got mad at Eran for making her think so complicated. So she got all kinds of bitter medicine and put them in her hospital room.

I will definitely feed them all, and make them feel the bitter taste.

As expected, she was able to feed Eran quite a bit of those bitter pills.

Of course, Shael fell for Eran’s trick and had no choice but to drink the bitter juice.

So the next thing she came up with was food. She herself eats delicious food, and she was going to give Eran poor food on the pretext of her health.

As she planned, she gave Eran some shabby food and then started eating delicious food alone.

Looking at Shael like that, Eran said.

“Feeding only healthy food for me shows how much you really love me.”

At Eran’s words, Shael was taken aback. How could she say something like that casually?

She couldn’t swallow her food properly, so she coughed out her extensions. Then she glared at Eran, she thought.

Yes, he was like this every time. When trying to bully Eran, she rather gets hit by herself. Shael had never seen Eran panic.

She began to think. Then, in what way could she embarrass her own fiancé?

She began to think of the few times when Eran was flustered. When was it

That was when she took her pill of lies. It was when she said something strange that Shael liked Eran.

At that time, Eran couldn’t help but panic. It was natural.

So Sael decided to use it. She said that at that time, she herself was also due to the medicinal effect, and she couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

What if you did that now? Unlike her past, you will be able to see her bewildered look in her Eran as she keeps her line in her favor.

So she changed her strategy. It was to do and say something embarrassing to her fiancé.

Shael gave Eran a side dish. As expected, Eran looked puzzled as she stared at herself.

“⋯What is it?”

Eran even brought out her words as if she couldn’t be trusted. Yes, this is it Shael wanted to embarrass Eran even more.

In that case, what can I say?

-‘Is this person mine?’

Suddenly, I remembered what I said to Clie at the banquet hall. Yes, this is it Sael said, anticipating the expression his fiancé would make.

“Even if I have a bad personality, he is kind to my things.”

It sounded as if Eran was her own property. It was a statement that would shock anyone.

It was then that Duke Jespen entered.
