The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 44

“Then Dante, shall we bring him to the family estate?”

“We must.”

Thank goodness. Father is the greatest wizard in this world, so he’ll be able to heal Dante somehow.

I felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief.

“I heard Dante regained his sanity after smelling the scent of your flower.”

“That seemed to be the case. Dante was almost buried in the flowers I made, and then his eyes immediately returned to normal.”

“That’s a very peculiar case.”

“It might not be because of my flowers, but due to other external factors. But at that time, there was no one but Dante and me.”

“Hmm. We should assume that your flower can immediately calm the rampage with high probability.”

Now the topic of conversation changed from Dante to me.

To be honest, I was a little scared of the things that had happened to me.

‘I feel like a new me has suddenly appeared.’

I pulled Pompom closer and hugged it tightly for peace of mind.

“First, let me tell you about Dante’s current condition.”

“Yes.”

“Dante is currently in a state called ‘Alpha Rampage’.”

“Rampage of a young Alpha?”

“Yes. Like the name suggests, it only happens to those who have awakened dominant pheromones, and even then, only to children. You can think of it as a rare condition.”

Oh, I didn’t know there was such a thing. I thought being an Alpha was just all good.

“Is it common?”

“Not really. The cause is that the body can’t handle the power because the pheromones are too strong but the body is not mature enough, but in fact, not much has been clearly revealed about the disease yet. It is said that it starts with the pheromones that have grown beyond the limit disappearing as if washed away.”

“!”

So that’s why I couldn’t feel anything from Dante!

“Then, at night, they lose their reason and become animalistic. Until then, they come to their senses when the morning sun rises.”

“…What if they pass this point?”

“They will become beasts day and night. They will release their dominant pheromones all over the place and become monsters that kill everything in sight.”

“…”

Those crazy academy bastards!

How could they hide this? They should hide the right things!

Shocked, I trembled. John was also surprised and turned pale.

“However, it seems that he only transforms at night so far, and it doesn’t seem too severe, so don’t worry too much. This is the first time I’ve seen someone suffering from this disease in person, but…”

Then Ariadne and Father didn’t experience a rampage. That’s why Father didn’t notice it right away.

“…As far as I know, there have been almost no cases of rampage in Dribljane. I’ll have to check with the family doctor about this later. Perhaps the shock of my big mother’s death may be the cause.”

Father stroked his chin and muttered quietly before turning to me and explaining again.

“Fortunately, it can be cured if an adult who has awakened dominant pheromones takes care of them, so don’t worry too much. Thanks to you discovering and informing me of this problem in time, it will be resolved.”

“No, I didn’t do anything…”

“It’s quite a great discovery. You’re always saving someone, Florin.”

Is that so?

Good things are good, so I’ll gratefully accept the compliment, but… I wasn’t very happy.

Dante, what should I do?

‘Will he be okay? He bit my wrist so hard… How painful must it have been?’

Dante’s wound felt like I was hurt, and I felt bad. I was also angry at the academy bastards who let it happen.

‘Above all, I know how terrible it is to lose parents.’

I overlapped my image with Dante’s. If Dante’s rampage started because he was greatly shocked by Ariadne’s death…

‘That’s too bad.’

I squeezed my eyes shut.

“Once a rampage starts, there’s no way to stop it except by suppressing it with force… But your flower made him regain his reason immediately.”

“Yes. That’s right, it did.”

“Then your flower might be necessary for Dante.”

Pursing my lips and pondering, I ran to the table and brought a handful of sunflower seeds that were provided for breakfast.

“Yesterday, after experiencing that, I think I learned how to conjure flowers.”

The reason I don’t use a definitive tone is because I can’t be sure.

I took a deep breath and scattered the sunflower seeds on the low table. Then, I reached out and gently placed my hand over them.

Paat!

Then a bright light burst out, and in the blink of an eye, the sunflower seeds turned into fully bloomed sunflowers!

“Oh, you can now conjure flowers freely. Congratulations, Florin.”

“Will it help Dante?”

I held three sunflowers and first pinned one on Father’s jacket.

I gave another one to John, and the last one is mine.

It would be nice if the three of us wore these when we go to the event.

Father, who received the flower, gently stroked my head.

“You said you know where Dante is locked up alone.”

“Yes, I saw it!”

“Then would you go to Dante tonight?”

“I will. But the security will be tight…”

“I’ll take you there, so don’t worry about that. I’ll cast a protection spell directly on you, so it’ll be okay even if Dante attacks.”

“Yes!”

Oh, then what’s there to be afraid of?

Instead of being afraid, I’m curious about what Dante is like when he’s sane. It seems like my liver has grown plump thanks to having Kiraxus as my backer [a powerful supporter].

“Ah, don’t come out no matter what sound you hear outside.”

“…Um, yes.”

“You, follow me.”

Father chuckled and tapped John’s frozen shoulder.

Um, it seems like scenes that are not suitable for those under 10 will unfold, so I shouldn’t imagine it!

‘Ah, right. I told you everything else, but I missed one thing.’

I glanced at my watch.

A maid will come to help me change soon, but I still had time to say one more word.

“Father, you know. Do you perhaps have bubble magic or something like that?”

“Bubble?”

“Yes. I went outside as if I were sleepwalking. At that time, transparent and sparkling bubbles came out of my hand…? Bubbles…? Something like that. Suddenly.”

“Bubbles, huh…”

“I wanted to see Dante’s wounds and heal them. And… and also… I felt like I had met Dante sometime before…”

I recalled last night and explained intermittently.

‘Honestly, I’ve never thought of myself as having good insight.’

But why? At that moment, I clearly saw Father flinch.

It was so fleeting that after blinking once, the ‘hesitation’ I had witnessed had already disappeared.

‘What is it?’

I looked up at Father intently.

But no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t read anything more. In the first place, reading that 0.1 second reaction was close to a miracle.

‘Have I… met Dante before?’

That can’t be.

“We didn’t agree to this.”

Besides, the words I said while I was half out of my mind… sounded like I had known Dante for a very, very long time.

It hasn’t been long since I possessed the white ferret, so that can’t be.

But even if I denied it, questions piled up inside me.

Maybe someday these questions will explode. Like the white foam I created today.

“I’ll look into it. It’s best not to tell anyone until it’s certain.”

Father curled up the corners of his lips and pressed down on my head.

‘A mask-like smile…’

I haven’t seen Father for long, but I could definitely tell.

‘Don’t try to dig it up.’

The most important thing right now is Dante, not me.

I have to solve things one by one.

“Then we should get ready for the event now.”

“Yes!”

“A brave child should have a gift. Where did you put the magic wand?”

“It’s here.”

I’m really embarrassed every time I use this, but I can’t deny that it’s a big help.

I suddenly turned back into a ferret last night. If I didn’t have this magic wand this morning, I would have panicked because I couldn’t turn back into a human.

Father took the magic wand and chanted something at it. Then the jewel on the magic wand sparkled, but at first glance, nothing had changed.

“Swing it around while you’re human.”

“Like th- Ugh!”

Bbyorong!

It felt like I could hear that sound, so I scratched the goosebumps all over my body.

But the heart-shaped magic circle that popped out of the magic wand mercilessly swept over me, and the next moment-

“!!!”

I… I… landed gently on the floor with a perfect outfit like the main character of a transformation cartoon.
