The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 11

“Pudding, want more……”

Eventually, I looked at the empty glass jar and smacked my lips in regret. Then, the nanny chuckled and gently wiped my mouth.

Since the nanny was already my captive [someone under my care], her touch was very gentle.

“If you wish, I can bring you about half as much more. But if you eat too much, your teeth will rot.”

“Um…… then it’s okay. Instead……”

“Yes, little mistress.”

“Wanna go thank the person who made dis [this]!”

“Oh my, the chef will be very happy.”

I nodded with a bright expression. But in fact, I was secretly giggling inside.

This is all part of my sinister and scary plan.

The chef was a very important person in the family. If I become close to the chef, at least my meals won’t be poor when Raheen comes.

‘Although Raheen will win the chef’s heart later……’

I suddenly recalled a scene from the original story.

[“Jeff, this is called tteokbokki [Korean spicy rice cakes]. It tastes three times better if you add sausage!”

“Saintess…… this is…….”

“Huh? What’s wrong, Jeff?”

The head chef of Dribryane, Jeff, wiped away tears.

He couldn’t help it. The recipe that Saintess Raheen presented was one he knew very well. It was none other than…… Ariadne’s recipe, who had died a long time ago.

“The master was so pleased to eat this dish made by your daughter. But after Ariadne passed away…… I never made it again.”

“Oh, my…….”

Raheen widened her eyes slightly, as if surprised.

The memory of Ariadne, which she had forgotten, came to mind. Jet-black hair and turquoise eyes resembling bronze.

Ariadne, who always gave her a contemptuous look, had always interfered with her meetings with Kiraxus.

It was a long time ago, but for Raheen, who had no memory of the sealed period, Ariadne was as vivid as if it were yesterday.

‘Could it be that Ariadne came to this world from the same place as me?’

Raheen staggered for a moment in shock.

“Thank you for reminding me of a memory I had forgotten for a long time. Sniff…… I will work hard to make sure you enjoy it.”

“Uh-huh, sorry for making you cry.”

Raheen, who barely managed to control her expression, smiled brightly as if she knew everything and hugged Jeff tightly.

“If you make tteokbokki and take it out, the master will surely be happy. We have to help him cheer up!”

“Yes, you are right, Saintess.”

“Oh, come on. I’m not a saintess anymore. Just call me Raheen.”

Raheen stepped back with a bright expression and looked around the busy kitchen.

However, she was very anxious. Of the three wishes she could ask God, the last one. To exist naturally in the Dribryane mansion, she used up all her remaining wishes.

‘There’s no way to deal with it anymore.’

Such a thing would not happen, but if Ariadne was not actually dead, or if she returned from death…….

‘What should I do?’]

Even if I think about it again, it’s really a shocking and terrifying development.

‘But I have no intention of being kicked out of this comfortable family just because you came.’

I looked up at the hallway filled with restrained splendor. It was as beautiful as the imperial palace, and it smelled of wealth. Enough to make me covet it.

“Pannni gaggungya! [Hurry up!]”

Soon, I, riding on John’s head, strutted across the hallway. Then, I heard voices whispering around me.

“I heard that she is the new Saintess?”

“Rumor has it that she can predict the future. I don’t believe it, though.”

“But it’s a bit much for an albino to represent Dribryane…….”

“Shh, you’ll be punished! They say the reason she can’t transform into a human is because she used too much power to bring spring!”

Hehe. According to plan.

The reason I can’t transform into a human is because I’m an albino, but I can hide my weakness with 30% truth and 70% rumor.

Of course, at first, many people hated me. The whispering and glances as I passed by weren’t great either.

But that mansion atmosphere was completely turned upside down by the urgent news that came in after I told them about the attack information.

“My brother was on that front line that you said would be attacked! But she told us in advance, so he lived!”

“She told us about the attack a day in advance, so everyone evacuated and even managed to launch a surprise attack!”

“How did she know? I’m so grateful.”

It didn’t take a day for the rumors to spread in my favor. It took only two days for people’s eyes to change to extremely friendly.

Then, when I acted friendly, the reaction was completely different.

Fatal charm, showing off my belly!

Technique name [Spread Out]!

“Oh my, Florin is so cute that I hit the wall and ended up facing the next room. What should I do!”

The maids, whose families were saved thanks to my information, giggled and made a fuss.

Technique name [Wiggling Round Ears]!

“Huff, huff. C-Can I just…… can I touch them just once?”

The knights, whose comrades were safe, clutched their chests and had difficulty breathing.

After all, a plump butt, two round ears, and a rich tail are fatal. I’ve gained a little weight these days, so I’m so cute and chubby.

Unless you’re an albino hater to the bone, it won’t be easy to hate me, who is young and friendly.

‘No, honestly, whether they hate me or see me as cute was a close call.’

If they wanted to hate me, who can’t even transform into a human, they could have done so.

‘But now the rumor that I prevented the attack has spread widely.’

Moreover, rumors spread that Kiraxus, one of the most powerful people in this family, decided to become the heir because of me. In such a situation, no big-hearted employee would bother to hate me.

‘So, to be precise, it’s not that I’m cute, but that I’m a saintess, or that the power surrounding me is cute.’

Well, it doesn’t matter. After all, it was none other than the head of the family, my grandfather, who spread the false rumor that I was a saintess.

I recalled the night when the urgent news came in. I was secretly called to the head of the family.

“There cannot be two saintesses under the sky.”

The head of the family, with his hands behind his back, continued quietly.

“I don’t believe you are a saintess. I don’t believe in the saintess itself in the first place. That’s because I don’t believe in the existence of God.”

“However…… since you have benefited the family, it doesn’t matter whether you are real or just guessed by chance. From now on, you will be the real saintess, and you will be said to have awakened with spring. We will spread rumors that the saintess of the sealed Holy Empire is actually a fake saintess and that you are the real one.”

‘Wow, you’re really like a villain…….’

Ladies and gentlemen, you are witnessing a scene where the real becomes fake and the fake becomes real in an instant.

“Thanks to you, Kiraxus gave up his stubbornness and became the heir, so that alone was helpful, but it’s so admirable.”

Now, the way the head of the family looks at me is…… um, yeah. Exactly that. The look of looking at a treasure chest.

I could instinctively feel that my value had increased significantly.

“This is a gift. Take it and eat it.”

“Macarons……!”

Then he even gave me a box with twelve colorful macarons!

“I stopped by the imperial palace and picked it up while I was out for a walk because I thought of you.”

“Thank you!”

He went out for a walk and brought snacks for his granddaughter-in-law!

I shared it nicely with everyone yesterday and was scolded by the nanny. She was so worried that my teeth would rot if I ate too many snacks.

They were words based on affection for me, so I honestly liked hearing them.

‘Anyway, people will now expect me to continue to prevent attacks.’

If I have to maintain that for a long time, my true colors will be revealed.

But fortunately, the two countries, having learned that spring has come, will soon sign a peace treaty.

When the time comes to take care of the devastated country…… I can naturally gain fame.

“Welcome, little mistress.”

“Jeffu [Jeff]!”

“Haha, the kitchen is dangerous. But I’m energized that you came all the way here.”

After a while, I arrived at the kitchen.

In fact, Jeff was very wary and reluctant for me to come to the kitchen at first. But when I praised the advantages of his desserts down to the molecular level, Jeff soon opened his heart to me.

“I was just baking macaron shells, would you like one?”

“Yes!!!”

What a windfall!

The nanny controls the amount of my snacks quite strictly. Since I can’t transform into a human, she recommends that I only eat what is not dangerous to eat in animal form.

‘Sorry, Nanny. Secretly eating snacks is more delicious…….’

Soon, holding a pink macaron shell colored with raspberry syrup, I became the happiest ferret in the world.
