The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 132

There were three possibilities for this absurd situation.

First, I would suddenly learn magic and blast that thing away.

Second, I would rudely throw the handkerchief.

Third, or else… I would suddenly shrink.

I witnessed the scene where the handkerchief, which was clearly small, looked as big as a tent, and screamed inwardly.

‘This is an animalization curse!’

“Oh, how cute. So you were a little weasel.”

It was that annoying priest who had saved me when I was struggling under the heavy fabric of the dress.

Since it’s called a ‘curse,’ I guess I turned into a weasel in the nude. It was a curse that really annoyed people.

“You must have known that this handkerchief was strange, but you still accepted it. Are you brave, or reckless…?”

His muttering voice was full of interest.

I glared at the priest who put me on his palm and gnashed my teeth.

I couldn’t even be sure if Roxanne was his real name now.

“Anyway, now that things have come to this, you’ll have to come with me. It’s the perfect opportunity to drive out Lahin.”

“……!”

“See, it would have been nice if you had come when I called you.”

‘No, why do I have to be kidnapped like this?!’

I was dumbfounded, but the situation was getting serious because no one came to rescue me no matter how long I waited.

“If you’re thinking of asking for help, don’t waste your energy. I’ve put up a divine barrier, so no one will hear you no matter how much you scream.”

‘Good heavens. It was a planned crime?’

It was really coincidental.

If the person I was going to meet wasn’t Ian, I would have just rubbed my face on my sleeve instead of wiping it with a handkerchief.

But it was Ian.

Because it was the first time in a while.

So I just wanted to wipe off my smudged makeup carefully.

‘Lahin, you’re… really not helpful.’

The priest held me tightly in both hands so I couldn’t go anywhere.

And after a while, the bushes rustled, and another priest appeared from there, holding a cage.

“You really caught her! Well done, well done! Now, hurry up and put her in.”

The Holy See [the central government of the Catholic Church] is really bold.

To do this in another country, not even their own, and in the imperial palace of all places.

They must know that if this fact is revealed, it could lead to serious problems between the two countries.

‘Or do they want to drive out Lahin so badly that they don’t care?’

I was curious about how Lahin was living there, but there was no way I could just follow them willingly.

I sighed and stretched out my short arms.

“W-What is this!”

It’s a bit of a waste, but I can’t help it.

I turned the dress I was wearing into a red climbing rose.

I didn’t miss the chance to bite Roxanne’s hand, who was holding me, as the thorns densely covering the vine wrapped around the priest’s body.

“Ugh……!”

Even though I look like this, I’m still a carnivorous weasel.

‘You’ll be suffering for a few days, huh.’

The moment the grip on my hand loosened, I jumped with all my might and climbed up a nearby tree.

My own power is nothing, but I have something to rely on.

‘I didn’t wear the ring Ian gave me today.’

Then Yuri will know where I am.

What about Ian? He’ll be wondering why I didn’t come when he called me.

In other words, if I just stall for time, I’ll win.

My alchemy was different from divine power. No matter how strong their divine power is, alchemy isn’t an evil force, so how can they break through it?

“H-Hey! Do something about this!”

The old priest, entangled in the vines and unable to move, shouted.

Meanwhile, Roxanne shrugged and laughed, making me want to slap him in the back of the head.

“Ah, so this is how you get out of it. It’s quite interesting.”

“Don’t just laugh, do something!”

Eventually, the priest’s face turned red and he got angry. But Roxanne just shrugged.

“What can I do? I’m tied up like this too.”

“These young people! You should at least try to take it off!”

“Then my hands will get pricked by the thorns?”

His nonchalant appearance was quite hateful. He’s the type to be hated in life.

I sighed and guessed who would find me first.

I wanted to hit him just once, but it was too risky to fly up and kick him in the back without anything to rely on.

“Now that it’s come to this, we must catch her! She can’t have gone far, so chase after her!”

The old priest ruthlessly trampled on the vines with his feet and screamed.

But it was right then.

A canary landed on my branch, where I was sticking like flour dough and holding my breath.

The canary was flapping its wings and looking somewhere, and it was none other than behind me.

“It’s been a while.”

His appearance was silent.

Without the recoil of the branches bending softly, without the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other-

Ian spoke softly as if he had been there from the beginning.

“What should I do about those guys?”

His tone was calm, but for some reason, my spine tingled. It seemed like Ian was angry.

“To do such a thing on a debutante day that should be celebrated. It seems like they want to go to the side of the god they like so quickly… What do you think?”

‘He’s angry, right?’

But his voice… is very low.

It was a gentle yet strangely cool voice.

The voice before puberty that I remembered is now covered by Ian’s current voice.

When I didn’t look back, Ian gently stroked my small head.

“You have to look at me, baby.”

“……I don’t want to.”

I didn’t want to meet him in this form.

I lost all my strength and even drooped my tail. Then suddenly, I got angry again.

‘I finally met Ian, but that guy is the one who made me look like this?!’

‘I don’t even have any clothes, so I can’t just turn into a human!’

I don’t know what will happen because I didn’t use the magic wand my father gave me to switch between human and animal forms as usual.

What if I turn into a human and I’m naked?

‘Because Ian is here, let’s just slap him in the back of the head once.’

Determined, I stood up and aimed well at the position to shoot out.

It doesn’t seem difficult because it’s a branch with good elasticity.

“I’m going to punish you. I’ll punish you and then meet you.”

It’s been a while since I turned into an animal except when I’m sick, so I’m glad my pronunciation isn’t slurred.

I clenched my fists and flew up. Then I hit the back of the head of the guy who was babbling.

“Because it wasn’t Lord Merebannos’s order from the beginning. We did as we were told… Keup!”

Roxanne coughed and covered his mouth as if he had bitten his tongue.

‘Serves you right.’

I ran to the next tree and kicked again. This time, it was towards the priest who brought the cage to trap me.

“Lahin and this one are both rude… Keuk!”

‘I’m going to tell you all to His Majesty. Just you wait. Even the Pope won’t be able to do anything.’

I glared at them, panting, and there was a hand that carefully held me. It was Ian.

“Our weasel is scary. She scolds well too. Do you want to hit them a few more times?”

“Yeah!”

“Okay, then hit them more.”

……No, wait. Even if I say ‘yeah,’ you should stop me.

The other side crossed the line, and I crossed the line too. So it was time to fix things. Not to make the problem bigger.

But Ian just tilted his head and asked.

“Aren’t you going to hit them?”

“……Only this far.”

“Okay, then close your eyes tightly. I’ll take care of the rest.”

As he whispered that and put me on his shoulder, I faced him without even having time to prepare.

“Ah.”

A short exclamation burst out.

Hair as red as the sunset. Eyes as thin and long as a fox. And the corners of his lips with a gentle smile.

The elements that make up Ian.

It doesn’t seem like much has changed from the appearance I remembered, but the reason why he feels like a completely different person… is it because he’s so relaxed?

He looked very relaxed as he took out leather gloves from inside his jacket and put them on.

“I’ll let you choose. Whether to be buried alive or burned to death.”

……Huh?

“You better choose quickly. This one didn’t learn the virtue of patience while growing up.”

Uh, uh? His tone is very ordinary, but isn’t the content very gruesome……?

“You bastard! Do you know who I am! The Pope won’t stand still!”

“Ah, that side first?”

From inside Ian’s sleeve, a wire came out that looked like it would be used for suspicious things.

He chuckled and instantly turned it into a noose and put it around the old priest’s neck.

It was an almost invisible speed.
