The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 30

Bubbles rose from his lips as he exhaled.

‘I’m with that nameless guy right now, so I should message her later.’

‘Are you okay? Are you hurt? You must have been so surprised. Your liver must be tiny.’

There were so many things he wanted to say, as much as the seawater.

‘Do you know how much I missed you?’

‘How long do you think I’ve known you?’

‘You finally transformed into a human. How do you feel?’

‘Ha… I want to go and see how pretty you are in person.’

And he wanted to whisper how beautiful she was thousands of times.

However… Yuri can’t get out of here.

Bang!

He clenched his fist and hit the wall, but the magic surrounding the aquarium glass bounced him back.

Pushed back, Yuri frowned and hit another spot this time.

‘Let me out!’

‘Don’t trap me in this prison!’

There was nothing Yuri could do here. Reduced to the level of an ornamental fish, no one spoke to him. They just watched and passed by.

Yuri also knew through that a shark siren must live in the sea once they were born.

All the common sense and knowledge he learned came from . All he had to do was open it, and everything was inside.

‘Not this kind of aquarium, but the boundless sea.’

That was the place Yuri should be playing.

‘Let me out!’

Bang, bang!

He knew it wouldn’t work anyway, but he kept hitting because his temper wasn’t ordinary.

As a great white shark siren, he didn’t know how to get tired. He also didn’t know how to bow his head because he was one of the rulers of the sea.

Of course, he wasn’t doing this useless thing with only his pride.

The blood of the Imperial Family and the blood of the Dribblyane.

Yuri, who inherited both… wasn’t the type of kid to do things that wouldn’t work in the first place.

How much of a fuss did he make?

The water overflowed from the aquarium, soaking the carpet, and the magic’s recoil even echoed through the walls of the Imperial Castle. Eventually, someone came to find him.

“I came after finishing my dawn prayers, and what is this?”

She used honorifics, but her tone had a subtle feeling of condescension. Unlike him, trapped in this place, the woman who ‘walked’ gracefully stopped in front of the aquarium and chuckled.

“A shark siren must have the energy of the sea to become an adult. But do you think I’ll allow that?”

Twenty-eight years old this year. The Empress of the Magic Empire, two years younger than the Emperor, was as beautiful as a rose blooming with water.

People praised the Empress’s appearance and demeanor and admired her grace and erudition.

But more than anything else, what made the Empress shine was her compassion. Wasn’t she fond of the adopted son who wasn’t born from her own womb?

There was no concept of illegitimate children in the Imperial Family. If they were born from the Emperor’s seed, they were unconditionally the Emperor’s children. Therefore, their mother, the Empress, had to be benevolent and broad-minded.

At least on the surface.

“The Prince will never become an adult until my son is born. Never.”

She wouldn’t let him out.

After declaring that, the Empress forced a smile after relaxing her stiff facial muscles.

“So, be good. His Majesty is angry.”

In the Empress’s story, Ariadne was the worst villain.

She was the one who stole her husband. Of course, Ariadne had the Prince when the story of the engagement between the Emperor and Empress was only being discussed….

Anyway, the Empress could no longer live without hating someone.

‘Okay.’

And at the corner of Yuri’s mouth, who was staring at the Empress’s back, a mischievous smile appeared.

‘Now I can include the Empress in for a while.’

This book was Yuri’s unique ability. He didn’t know when he first held it. It was just there one day.

showed the lives of many people. What was a little special was that those who were chased by the water droplets Yuri controlled could be newly included in .

Until the water dried, Yuri could characterize the opponent and read their every move with his .

‘With this, I can draw a more detailed map of the Imperial Palace.’

‘I’ll be there soon. Don’t get too close to my fake husband. I’m jealous.’

Yuri put his forehead against the aquarium and wrote ‘jealousy…’ before erasing it.

‘Someday, I’ll meet you and tell you all this, so I have to be patient until then.’

‘Good night, Noona [older sister/female friend].’

Instead, Yuri kissed the cold aquarium wall, as if Florin was on the other side, and it looked as reverent as if he were worshiping a god.

Chapter 3. Let’s Go to the Academy!

The next morning, I didn’t want to get up for some reason and procrastinated.

‘Ugh, why am I so tired?’

My eyelids were heavy, and my body was limp. I felt like I had become pancake batter.

With my eyes tightly closed, I groaned and rubbed my cheek against the pillow, trying my best to be lazy.

‘I should stay like this until Linda or Nanny Nina comes and gently wakes me up….’

“Oh, how cute.”

But then, I heard a low chuckle in my ear.

It wasn’t Linda, Nanny, or Nina, but a ‘boy’s’ voice, and I suddenly remembered yesterday.

‘That’s right! Something big happened yesterday!’

As soon as my consciousness returned, I struggled to get up, and I quickly realized that something was wrong.

‘What, why is my vision so low again?!’

I hurriedly wiggled my butt, and a pure white, fluffy tail wagged.

Denying reality, I looked down and… oh my god. I saw not human hands, but adorable paws.

Paws! Like threads! Paws!

“Kkyaaa! Why again!”

How could you do this to me! This damn world!

“Why am I a ferret again!”

I screamed and flopped down without even looking to see who was around me, struggling.

Please give me back my human body! Huhu!

“Florin.”

“Euaaang!”

“You must have been very shocked. It’s okay. You’ve transformed into a human for the first time, so you’ll be able to do it again soon.”

Someone hugged me tightly as I sobbed and patted my back.

It was only after I shed tears and snot that I realized that particularly memorable, pretty golden eyes were looking at me worriedly.

Ian comforted me and wiped my eyes.

“Stop. There will be many rewards. You have to go and receive them with dignity.”

“Re…wards?”

“Yes. You did something very big yesterday. The head of the family will give you a reward.”

Ian took out a handkerchief from somewhere and blew my nose.

‘It’s good, but… why is he being so kind? He wasn’t like this before.’

And why is he in my bed with me?

“Shall I have breakfast brought in, then?”

“Uh-huh. But Ian, why are you here?”

“Because someone grabbed me and wouldn’t let go until they fell asleep yesterday.”

“?!”

Me? I did that?

“Liar!”

“I’m not lying.”

Ian smiled mischievously and shook the bell next to the table.

But as soon as he announced that I had woken up, people poured into the room as if they had been standing in front of the door for five minutes.

“Young Master, Little Madam. Did you sleep well?”

“Oh my! You’re awake! I was so worried!”

“It’s terrible that the welcome banquet was ruined. You almost got seriously hurt… I’m so upset.”

Nanny Evangeline, Linda, and Nina’s faces were filled with worry.

‘Ah, now that I think about it, I fainted right away yesterday, so I didn’t have a chance to tell everyone what happened.’

Sniffling, I ran to Nanny and hugged her tightly, and soon I noticed one person missing among them.

“Where’s Sir John? Is he okay?”

“Of course. He’s on paid sick leave today, but he said he would come running right away if the Little Madam called him.”

“His injuries? Can he move?”

“His injuries didn’t even leave a scar. We healed them cleanly with magic. But magic isn’t omnipotent, so the doctors recommended that he rest for a day. So, he’s resting, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“I see….”

That’s a relief.

Ian smiled slightly at me as I sighed in relief and stroked my chest.

“Then I’ll be going. See you later, Florin.”

“Uh-huh.”

‘Ian, you could smile like that…? You’ve changed too much in just one night.’

‘Is it because my human form was too cute?’

Tilting my head, I soon soaked my small body in the ferret-only bathtub and splashed around.

I was sad that I didn’t know why I had turned from a human back into a ferret, but it’s okay because it’s not like there were no results at all.

‘I’m a flower alchemist, you know!’

Ahem.

I unnecessarily puffed out my soft belly, trying not to feel discouraged.

‘It’s okay. I’ll be able to transform into a human again anytime. Of course, I hope there won’t be another life-threatening situation like that again….’

Should I look for the Dice again? In the end, Iculus is the problem. If I only had the Dice, everything would be solved.

‘I need to search my memory of the original story. Surely there’s more written about the Dice somewhere….’
