The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 7

“Lord Patriarch, please listen!”

“No, well… isn’t it that the Young Lord is going to take that albino beastkin as his daughter-in-law?”

“With Lady Ariadne gone, it is true that the Young Lord has the authority to bring in a daughter-in-law. But……”

So, the current timeline is after Ariadne’s death in the original story.

‘Too bad. I wanted to see her in person if possible.’

Ariadne is a villainess from the Holy Empire’s point of view, but from the Magic Empire’s point of view, she is an incredible talent.

Kiraxus’s sister and a genius who possessed superior pheromones from birth.

Originally, only men could become the head of the Dribryane family, but Ariadne was the one who broke all those unwritten rules as if to show off.

Politics, business, swordsmanship. She was perfect in everything and superior to Kiraxus in every way.

She completely shattered the era of male family heads that had been passed down in the name of tradition, and instead of being chosen by the mistress, she chose the one she wanted for marriage…….

But she died.

‘Honestly, she wasn’t the type to go like that.’

The prevailing theory in the genre world was that the author deleted the character of Ariadne in the second half of the original story to make everyone fall in love with Raheen.

In conclusion, since it’s a tragic story, the Dribryane family has to collapse, but if someone like Ariadne is alive, it can’t collapse, right?

“Enough.”

It was then.

Everyone closed their mouths again at the Patriarch’s expressionless remark.

“You wouldn’t have done this without thinking. Did that demon you contracted with tell you to bring that child in?”

“If you want to think that way, then consider it so.”

Kiraxus shrugged.

At that, the elders, who had lost their reason, jumped up and started shouting.

“That, that, that cute and adorable thing!!!”

“That lovely and beautifully grown cute puppy!”

“So adorable, I want to rub my face all over its belly!”

But it’s strange. Harsh tones were mixed with unusual sentences. I didn’t want to hear the roar, so I covered my ears, but I wondered what was going on and slowly lowered my paws.

Could it be black magic?

“Using vulgar language in front of a child. The child will hear and learn.”

Kiraxus clicked his tongue briefly. Then, he took me out of his vest and sat me on the table.

“I understand that you don’t like the child I brought, who has a clean background, unlike the candidates who are closely connected to you through school ties, regional ties, and bribery ties.”

No, no, that’s not it.

Hey, I’m a spy. Isn’t my background the dirtiest?

“In short, all that matters is that this child is capable, right?”

“Th, that……”

“Right? Since you all care so much about the family, I believe you will definitely prioritize and acknowledge ability.”

Kiraxus rested his chin on his clasped hands, curving his eyes. But it felt completely different from when he smiled at me. I can’t explain it exactly, but it felt strangely…… dangerous.

The other person must have felt the same way, as they flinched and stepped back.

“If you make this child I brought my daughter-in-law, I will immediately inherit the position of Young Lord today.”

“!”

“To have the ability to break my stubbornness and make me ascend to the position of Young Lord, isn’t that amazing?”

Wow, this is really nonsense.

I, who had been listening quietly, gaped my mouth.

“What do you think? Father.”

Kiraxus smiled and turned to the Patriarch. It was truly a brazen threat.

‘Ah, so it was like this in the original…….’

I’m sweating.

Kiraxus recklessly brought in anyone as his daughter-in-law and completely crushed the elders who were trying to seize this opportunity to increase their power.

Ariadne, who had been the absolute power in the family, is no longer here. Kiraxus had been stepping back from family matters until now, so the elders must have thought now was the right time for them to run wild. Kiraxus has no intention of allowing that.

So…… I, who am definitely from the Holy Empire, was the perfect daughter-in-law.

Because I wouldn’t have any connections with the people sitting in here.

“And…… this is a warning.”

Swish.

Kiraxus’s pheromones flow out into the room. It was as if he had been hiding it appropriately until now, but the current one, pouring down like a waterfall, was ferocious enough to tear everything in front of him apart.

“Never again. Do not raise your voices carelessly in front of the Patriarch.”

“……!”

“If you act presumptuously just because my sister is gone…… I promise you. It won’t be fun.”

The faces of the elders, who had been shouting with great vigor, gradually turned blue.

They grabbed their necks as if their breath was being choked and coughed, and soon one by one, they bowed their heads and surrendered.

‘The Patriarch Grandfather is watching quietly, so it’s okay to do this.’

I took this opportunity to glance at the person who might become my great-grandfather in the future…… and our eyes met.

“My son seems to cherish you quite a bit.”

Hick! He spoke to me!

The boss…… no, the chairman spoke to me!

“Seeing him protect you so that you are not affected, it will be difficult to break my son’s stubbornness. What to do?”

His eyes, expecting something from me, were quite burdensome.

I felt dizzy, but I tried to pull myself together.

‘From now on, I have to sell myself.’

In other words,

“Ahem.”

After clearing my throat briefly, I pointed to the large mobile chalkboard placed behind the Patriarch’s seat.

To be exact, the map hanging on it.

“I have a bility [ability].”

“Hoo?”

The Patriarch Grandfather’s eyes lit up at the word ability.

To show a very trustworthy appearance, I stroked my chest fur to make it neat, then stood up straight.

“Yes, what kind of ability is it?”

“That is…….”

First, I blurred the end of my words once to create tension and focus.

When I realized that everyone’s attention was focused on me, I shouted as loudly and clearly as possible.

“Belibe me and buy land [Believe me and buy land]!”

Buy land…… buy land…… buy land…….

My voice echoed loudly in the silent conference room.

It sounds suspicious, like a shady multi-level marketing seller, but this is a story from the original.

“Hmm, buy land?”

“Yes……!”

Perhaps it was an unexpected remark, but the Patriarch Grandfather raised his eyebrows.

I bit my lip tightly to avoid looking at the hot pink shirt that looked like it would make me burst into laughter and tried to negotiate.

“If you buy my land when you buy land, I’ll tell you why you should buy it.”

“Ho. Not only can you speak, but you’re even recommending real estate investment. What a wonderful fellow. So, where should we buy?”

As soon as the Patriarch asked, Lapiren took the map and placed it in front of me.

I hesitated for a moment, then moved over it and pointed to one place.

You haven’t said you’ll buy my land yet, but I wasn’t really expecting it. It was a provocation to get you to pay more attention to me.

“Here.”

“Luxoria Territory? This is completely inland. It’s a vast plain. Wheat used to grow here.”

Now that we can’t farm, it’s practically useless land. But it will be different in the future.

“Lapiren. Is there anything special about Luxoria?”

“After the previous Count died, there was a big fight between the brothers who inherited the territory. There are three brothers, and they are all addicted to gambling, and the current situation is very difficult.”

“That’s right, child. Can you tell me why you’re telling me to buy it here?”

Swish. The Patriarch Grandfather’s black eyes turn to me. Perhaps Kiraxus’s beautiful turquoise eyes were inherited from his mother.

‘I could give you the answer right away, but it’s more important to look good to the Patriarch.’

After thinking for a moment, I scurried to the Patriarch Grandfather’s side. Then, towards the big and solid fist that looked like it could break a desk in one shot……!

Poohk. I flew my soft belly to hug it. I was trying to act cute in my own way.

“Patriarch! Dambi, I’ll whisper in your ear. I’ll only tell the Patriarch.”

When I smiled and shouted again, the Patriarch Grandfather laughed and raised his fist.

“You have a lot of guts. Okay, good. Go ahead and whisper.”

I think I got some attitude points, right?

I was worried about what would happen if you thought hugging my fist was presumptuous, but as expected, he had a generous personality and didn’t seem to care much. It seems like he likes it.

“Spring comes early there. Knowing that is my ability.”

I gathered my front paws neatly and whispered in his ear.

I roughly knew where the current timeline was in the original story.

The spring that the Saint Raheen stole. It is starting again now, in the middle of the original story.

The time when Raheen is sealed.

A time when the supporting characters can move a little.

In the Magic Empire, spring starts from the Luxoria County and spreads rapidly throughout the country. That meant that the long war was coming to an end and everyone would be returning to their farmland.

“That’s a lie. There’s no way that child knows what spring is.”

“That’s right. Judging by the looks of it, he seems very young, so he must have been born after the Saint’s rampage [Saint’s uncontrolled magic outburst].”

The elders, who were close by and inevitably had to hear my words, immediately retorted.

In the past, it was natural for the world to have four seasons. However, children born after the Saint’s rampage in 986 only saw and learned about winter. Only winter.

So it was natural to scoff at my words.

“No. Flowers will bloom. If you buy it now, you’ll make a lot of money. I can bet the cookie I ate today!”

But I continued to insist.

The Patriarch is already listening to me. The money to buy land in Luxoria is pocket change for Dribryane. There was no harm in investing, thinking of it as throwing it away.

However, you’ll ask why. What should I answer?

“How can you be so sure?”

“That is…….”

Oh no, I didn’t think about that.

I rolled my eyes and looked at Kiraxus.

‘Help me!’

I’m quite useful, aren’t I? Even if you bring another kid, they won’t be able to do as well as me, right?

I glared with all my might.

Then Kiraxus smiled helplessly and stood up gracefully from his seat.

“It’s not surprising that he has precognition. This child is a Saint.”

That’s right! Sai……nt?

‘……What?’

I was so surprised that I plopped down on the Patriarch Grandfather’s shoulder. For a moment, I thought it was real.

Kiraxus, who came to my side, picked me up and moved me to his shoulder. Then, he playfully added to the stunned audience.

“Ah, so to explain.”

“…….”

“It means that we finally have a Saint in our Magic Empire.”

No, really?!
