The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 22

After the white ferret disappeared, wagging its cute tail, Lapiren gritted his teeth, clutching the Pompom as if he would break it.

“When did I ever allow anyone to observe my class?”

– Ah, sorry.

Then, surprisingly, light emanated from the Pompom and spread outwards. Soon, the light illuminated a mountain range covered in perpetual snow.

Kiraxus shook the snow from his head and greeted Lapiren with a cheerful smile.

– I was just curious to see if our daughter-in-law was learning well. And to keep an eye on you to make sure you weren’t bullying her.

“I am not bullying her. If you do this one more time, I will go to the Lord and refuse to be in charge of her education.”

– Sorry, sorry. I won’t do it again.

“Did you inform the Little Lady that you would be watching from Kiraxus-nim’s side?”

– Um, no.

“Then I will tell her.”

Lapiren frowned fiercely.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Kiraxus didn’t react much, just shrugged.

Lapiren was still dissatisfied, but since it was rare for Kiraxus to apologize so readily, he decided to let it go.

“So… are you in Yanterosa now?”

– Yeah. I can’t seem to find Idaho-gyeong anywhere.

“Well, he is the commander of the Knights. He must be in seclusion after resigning from his position in remorse for failing to protect Ariadne-nim, so he will be difficult to find.”

– Hmm, that’s right. But I want to go back and see our daughter-in-law soon.

Kiraxus curved his eyes.

Watching him, Lapiren felt goosebumps and gripped the Pompom tightly.

“Don’t do anything crazy!”

– What crazy thing?

“Like blowing up the mountain range! Or evaporating all the snow piled up there to eliminate Idaho-gyeong’s camouflage! Or burning the trees!”

All things Kiraxus was capable of.

And Kiraxus now definitely had ‘dead eyes with no fun’.

– I’d have to do at least that much for Idaho-gyeong to come out and kick my butt…….

“If you do that, I will tell the Little Lady everything.”

– That would be troublesome. You are competent and Father’s confidant, so I can’t just get rid of you.

Kiraxus’s tone was even as he swept back his hair, but Lapiren, listening, was on the verge of losing his patience.

– Should I draw a great magic circle to summon all the snow leopards living in this mountain range…….

“That’s the most moderate way, I suppose.”

It would be a shame for the snow leopards who were just living well in their habitat, but it would be better than having their snow evaporated or the entire Yanterosa mountain range burned down.

The name of the beastkin Kiraxus was looking for was Salones Lou Idaho.

The commander of the , the Dribryane Knights… and once Ariadne’s close friend.

“I’m sure you heard the conversation. Come out now, Gyeong.”

After abruptly cutting off the magic connecting him to the Pompom, Kiraxus spoke in a friendly voice.

Grrr.

A low, threatening growl, as if telling him to go away, was heard from somewhere far away. Kiraxus easily recognized it as the growl of someone familiar.

‘Florin absolutely needs the Idaho family as her backing.’

If Idaho, a prestigious family and loyal subject of the Magic Empire, steps forward… no one in this life will be able to speak ill of the child’s origins.

Florin has pure white silver hair, and Salones has bluish silver hair, but they at least have silver hair in common.

They will be able to protect Florin in high society.

‘She was more precious to me than anything, but the world despised her.’

Kiraxus was not foolish. He had no intention of letting the same thing happen twice. If Idaho-gyeong stubbornly refused to go to the end, he could really grab her by force like a beast and erase her reason.

The magic to turn a target into a puppet is convenient. Even now, if he had his way, he would do just that….

‘No. Florin needs someone to be a proper mother to her.’

Even if she stubbornly refuses like that, if Idaho-gyeong just meets her once, she will change her mind.

“Salones.”

Kiraxus suppressed the rising annoyance within him and made his tone affectionate.

Seeing the dry bushes rustling at the edge of the snowy area, Idaho was nearby.

“The Countess has a child that needs to be protected once again. A child that Ari-nunim [older sister] arranged for.”

This was a blatant lie. But was it really necessary to know the truth?

To reveal everything, he would have to tell her which timeline he had lived through and experienced, but Kiraxus had absolutely no intention of doing so.

The lost future is lost. There is no reason to bring it up again. He is changing the present one by one… so the same future will not come.

After Florin died of Dice addiction, hundreds, thousands of gates suddenly opened. It only took a week for the monsters that poured in from other dimensions to destroy the world.

All the weapons that had been developed in the Magic Tower to fight the never-before-seen monsters were used… but it was not enough. No matter how many he eliminated, the rate at which new gates opened was faster than the rate at which they could be closed.

If the entire nation had been able to handle guns and swords because of the long war with the Holy Empire, perhaps they could have done something.

But the gate incident occurred after the long war between the Holy Empire and the Magic Empire had ended, and everyone was hoping for peace.

At a time when people were holding rakes instead of guns and carrying fertilizer bags instead of swords. Just when people all over the world were trying to overcome the wounds of war and become happy…….

Kiraxus shook his head slightly to erase the scenes that only he in this world remembered.

It’s okay to forget. There is no reason for such a thing to happen again.

“He will come to you from the lowest place.”

A huge snow leopard finally appeared in front of Kiraxus, who recited a passage from the scriptures.

The intense dominant pheromones emitted by the snow leopard, large enough to block the sun, were like the owner of this mountain range.

“Let’s go back. Go and see what Ari-nunim [older sister] left behind.”

Salones, who had only been loyal to Ariadne, cried sadly. Now was the time for persuasion.

These days, the atmosphere in the Dribryane mansion has become much better than before.

The employees had to be careful even to breathe after the death of Ariadne-nim, but after the tiny Florin-nim came in as the daughter-in-law, the atmosphere in the family became a little lighter.

Moreover, there was a rumor that Florin-nim had some kind of special ability, and that she had even found the gift that Ariadne-nim had hidden, which had already gone around the mansion about five times.

To be honest, at first, many people thought, ‘Still, an albino is a bit……’, but such opinions gradually subsided over time.

Florin-nim foresaw the surprise attack at least five times.

Since the common way of thinking among the people of the Magic Empire was that ability should be prioritized over origin, there were now hardly any people who spoke badly about Florin.

No, to the point where a ‘Florin-nim Praise Committee’ was even formed, taking the lead in praising her.

The main axis was none other than the people who lived in the mansion and wanted to get on the good side of everyone so they could get a snack… the powerhouses of this era of great starvation.

The head chef and cooks.

“Florin-nim is very special! She always cleans her plate deliciously.”

“That’s right. It makes it worth working for! And she sent us cards yesterday and the day before, saying she enjoyed the meal!”

“How many precious people would understand our situation? She knows how much strength it gives us just to say that once.”

“I fell in love with Florin-nim when I saw her scolding Gerd-doryeonnim [young master]! I still remember it!”

Gerd, as well as the heirs who had been throwing away food carelessly, were identified and punished by the Great Lady.

It was because she judged that it was a reasonable quality for a Dribryane heir to be extravagant, but throwing food in the trash in front of the person who made it was something that should be punished.

In addition, it was also meant to comfort the employees who had been hurt in the meantime.

The fact that the Great Lady took the side of the employees and punished the heirs meant that the Little Lady’s actions were right.

The fact that the Little Lady, even though she couldn’t transform into a human, firmly scolded Gerd-nim without bowing down even a little, was exaggerated even more.

“Tonight! It’s finally the banquet!”

The story about the ‘Little Lady’s Welcome Banquet’ thrown in the midst of all this was a big issue for all the employees of Dribryane.

“I’m going to eat my fill for the first time in a while. The Great Lady is generous and tells us to eat all the leftovers after the banquet.”

“I’m really looking forward to it!”

“The Little Lady, I mean. She’s a very grateful person. Kiraxus-nim brought her, right?”

“Yes. Her origin is a secret, but there must be some circumstances that only the nobles know.”

“Maybe she’s actually a daughter from a very noble family, so it’s a secret! A change of perspective!”

“That might be the case. Kiraxus-nim didn’t tell us everything. The higher-ups probably know all the details, and there’s no reason for them to tell us!”

“That’s right. She’s such a wonderful person, she must be a daughter from a noble family.”

Some misunderstandings have been added, but there is no reason to correct them since it is a good thing.

The mansion, which had become noisy after a long time, was filled with laughter everywhere, but there was only one place where it wasn’t.
