Rehabilitating the Villainess

Chapter 103: Conversation (2)

It seemed that Shael had mistaken the person I mentioned for raising me for Daria Baslett.

Well, I guess its only natural for her to think that way.

If anyone could have raised Eran Baslett, it could be the only be his mother, Daria Baslett.

My heart ached for some reason. I also had a strange feeling. I didnt want to leave even the slightest misunderstanding with Shael. So it would be right to clear up the misunderstanding.

Strangely, I didnt want toand I listened to Shaels words, struggling to resist grabbing my throbbing head.

How was she?

She was kind. and at times very strict.

Shael nodded her head as if telling me to speak more. She was clearly quite interested in hearing about her.

Therefore, I decided to tell Shael more of the stories about my aunt.

She really liked drinking tea. You could say she was addicted to it.

Come to think of it, there was something that surprised me as soon as I came to this world. The Baslett family, famous for their swordsmanship, had a surprisingly large number of tea cups and various types of tea.

The strange thing is, no one in the Baslett family likes tea very much.

I only saw Duke Ezran drinking tea alone from time to time. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy various types of tea with Shael, which benefitted me quite a lot. 

As I thought about those matters, the memories with my aunt began to flood back to me.

What did she like more?

She was also very fond of gardening.

I thought of the Baslett familys gardens. If my aunt saw the place where Shael and I were currently sitting, she wouldve been very happy. I didnt see anyone go in and out of this place except for Shael and me, but strangely this place was always quite well-maintained.

Your mother had a lot of good hobbies.

It was actually my aunt. But, I didnt try to correct her anymore. I just nodded gently and looked up at the high sky.

Dense trees covered the sky. Even so, the bright sun was shining down on me.

As I looked up at the sky, I was enveloped by a sudden feeling of warmth.

The source of that warmth, was Shael. She was hugging me as if she was trying to soothe me. 

I too leaned closer and hugged her back. And so, we remained in each others embrace for a while.

Shrush!

Suddenly, I sensed a presence in the dense bush not far away. It was none other than Duke Ezran. However, I didnt separate from Shael. I didnt want to be disturbed for now.

Ill be able to talk to him soon.

I had a lot to say to Duke Ezran, and a lot to hear. 

At the same time, I had to solve the awkwardness between us, and I wanted to know about what happened to the Baslett family.

And

I had to change my mindset where I kept thinking of him as Duke Ezran. I needed to think of him more as a family member.

It was going to be a very difficult thing to do, and I felt a little nervous, but as soon as I hugged Shael more, I felt relieved.

[Duke Ezran POV]

Duke Ezran stepped away from the garden. 

It was Darias favorite place, so he came to take care of it quite often, but thanks to Eran, he didnt have to. 

But that didnt mean that coming to the garden was meaningless.

[She was kind. and at times very strict.]

[She really liked drinking tea. You could say she was addicted to it.]

[She was also very fond of gardening.]

Duke Ezran was satisfied listening to Erans story. 

In Erans story, Daria seemed to have lived a pretty happy life. Fortunately, the price he had paid for everything in the past seemed to have worked out.

Duke Ezran remembered the past. He thought of the time when he made that deal with that dark being. It was a deal that took everything from him, but it also gave many things back in return. 

Daria seemed to have lived a satisfying life as well.

Even so, Duke Ezran was unable to feel anything. He didnt even have the ability to resent the existence that took away those emotions.

Kh-kheuph!

Dark red b1ood flowed from Duke Ezrans mouth as he continued to cough.

The color of the b1ood, which was getting darker by the day, was a sign that the disease that was getting worse. It was an unknown incurable disease he had acquired as one of the terms of bringing Eran back. 

However, despite the suffering, Duke Ezrans expression still remained calm, and he walked towards his office to handle the matters of the Baslett family.
