The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 94

“That’s enough. It’s getting noisy.”

Even though the ceremony was about to start, we didn’t stop chattering, so the Emperor sighed, clearly fed up, and waved his hand. At that, everyone fell silent.

‘Anyway, Dante, what should I do?’

These days, Dante hardly ever goes on rampages. That’s why I felt relieved and planned the trip to the Duchy, but seeing him today makes me uneasy.

‘I’m glad I brought sunflower seeds just in case.’

I should fill the carriage with flowers for Dante before we leave.

If Dante goes on a rampage while Father is away, Grandfather has agreed to step in… But it’s better for Dante if he calms down quickly.

“Sister, I’m so excited. Have you ever been inside an airship?”

His Majesty the Emperor told us to be quiet, but Yuri didn’t seem to care at all. Seeing her eyes sparkling as she whispered to me, it was clear she was thrilled.

I didn’t open my mouth but just shook my head. Father kept it a secret from me until the end.

I was just as curious and excited about what the inside looked like.

“Your Highness, it’s time to depart. Please be the first to board the airship.”

Fortunately, the inaugural flight ceremony ended quickly thanks to the annoyed Emperor. Now it was time for those going to the Arkalik Duchy to board the airship.

“Then, I’ll see you inside later.”

Yuri really smiles brightly.

Does she know she looks cute every time she smiles?

I couldn’t take my eyes off Yuri’s dimples until I sensed a dark aura emanating from Dante and barely managed to shift my gaze.

“Dante… Are you sulking?”

“No. I’m not sulking.”

“You’re totally sulking. Look at me. We have to go now, aren’t you going to see me off?”

Dante kicked a stone.

It didn’t seem like he would cheer up easily, so I turned my attention to Ian for now.

“Baby.”

“Mmm.”

But Ian’s atmosphere… is quite dangerous too.

I took a step back, seeing the veins popping out on Ian’s forehead and neck.

I’ve never seen Ian lose control of his emotions like that….

“If that prince does that to you one more time.”

“Kiss……?”

I inadvertently blurted out ‘that word’ and witnessed the ground sinking in real-time.

No, really. The ground where Ian was standing caved in a few centimeters with a cracking sound.

“Here, take this. Stab him.”

Ian, who seemed to be calming down while taking a moment to catch his breath, soon rolled up his pants leg and pulled out a dagger from there… Wait a minute.

“Why is a dagger coming out from there?!”

“It’s obvious. Here, it’s not pretty because I used it, but let’s take it anyway. If something dangerous happens, stab him with it.”

Please don’t say scary things with such a sweet voice….

“Baby. Should I tell you where to stab him?”

Ian is angry.

He’s not just angry, he’s really angry.

I can understand Dante acting like that, but Ian’s eyes are flipped… This is not something I can stop.

‘If I take Yuri’s side here and say it’s because she’s a clueless child, it’ll be a disaster, right?’

Maybe Ian and Dante will be among the night visitors who visit Yuri [referring to unwanted or aggressive attention].

Imagining such a ruinous future, I shuddered.

“I’m not going to take it. Don’t worry too much. It’ll be okay. The prince is just a child.”

“Our Florin. How can you be so pure and kind?”

“Mmm.”

“Don’t trust the prince. Never.”

When I strongly refused, Ian sighed as if he couldn’t help it and put the dagger away.

‘But it’s not that I’m trying to take Yuri’s side, it’s just that Yuri has been trapped in a tank until now, so she probably hasn’t learned much etiquette.’

So, unlike ordinary people, the boundary between what is okay and what is not seems weak.

Although all of this is just my guess-

‘If I teach her, she’s smart, so she’ll understand well.’

Of course, Yuri as portrayed in the original story and Yuri in front of me now are quite different.

But that’s also because she was already a grown adult in the original story, and now she’s a baby. She’s a year younger than me!

Depending on how you raise her, she could become a reckless and unruly child, or she could become a gentle, mature, and calm child, right?

“Sister! Hurry up!”

At that moment, Yuri appeared on the bridge connecting the airship and the ground, waving her hand. Father also nodded, so it was really time to go.

“Then I’ll be back! Dante, don’t cause trouble and behave! Ian too!”

Behind my back as I shouted and ran, Dante yelled at the top of his lungs.

“The next kiss is mine! Don’t forget!”

“!”

“And never kiss the prince!”

Good heavens. Why are you saying such embarrassing things out loud?!

The adults who were gathered there heard Dante’s shout and laughed as if they found it cute.

With a face full of embarrassment, I trudged into the airship.

“Your daughter-in-law is popular. It will be difficult to choose a husband.”

“They are just trying to be chosen.”

Even His Majesty the Emperor and Father exchanged a few words about the situation just now.

My face flushed, I completely forgot my plan to go to the window and wave to Ian and Dante.

“Sister, over there. Let’s go over there.”

“Huh?”

“There’s a swimming pool filled with seawater.”

“A swimming pool here?”

In the end, I remembered that plan when the airship soared high into the sky and the ground looked smaller than a fingernail.

Since I could no longer say hello, I slowly followed Yuri’s lead, looking around the inside of the airship.

Then, I found a picture of the airship’s internal structure on the wall of a narrow hallway and was able to figure out where I was now.

“Wow, is this airship three stories tall?”

“Yeah. There’s a swimming pool and a restaurant on the first floor. Guest rooms and a reception room on the second floor. And offices and spaces for adults on the third floor.”

“It’s like a super luxurious cruise…”

Other than flying in the sky, is there not much difference from a cruise?

I scratched my cheek and thought of the researchers at the Magic Tower who must have poured their souls into making this, and I became solemn. A liberation party [a celebration of freedom or release from constraints] must be happening at the Magic Tower now that Father has finally boarded the airship.

“I’m curious about the swimming pool. Is it pretty?”

“I don’t know if it’s pretty, but if I go into the water, you’ll only see me anyway, so the decorations don’t matter.”

“……?”

Just now, a narcissistic line passed by so naturally that there was no room to refute it.

Yuri has a brilliant appearance even when she’s just standing there, and when she goes into the water, she’s like a spirit.

“Here, this is the swimming pool.”

“It feels like three or four wizards must have died making this…”

Soon, I arrived at a swimming pool with a floor made of pure white quartz tiles.

The swimming pool, which was large and deep enough for an adult man to swim in, was honestly daunting and scary for me to set foot in.

Among the people on board this airship right now – although I don’t know what race Hwairan is, but if I assume it’s a Pegasus – I could confidently say that I am the smallest when transformed into an animal.

If I fall in here, I’ll sink straight to the bottom.

“Ah, are you perhaps afraid of water?”

“Mmm.”

“I see. Then sit here and just dip your feet in. How’s that?”

The ground must be more unfamiliar to Yuri. But since Yuri is standing on the ground like this, I wanted to dip my feet in Yuri’s territory, the water.

Having made that decision, I first took off my expensive shoes and silk socks and put them far away.

In the meantime, Yuri had already plunged into the water, splashing me a lot.

“Yuri!”

When the cold water droplets touched my cheek, I screamed and quickly scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on Yuri. Then Yuri also splashed water on me in response, so we were both soaked.

After a while, I realized that I was laughing. Yuri approached me and tapped my nose.

“I hope my sister laughs a lot. Stop crying.”

“Ah, right. You didn’t like me crying.”

“It’s not that I don’t like it… I just don’t want to make you cry more. But I don’t like you crying for reasons other than me.”

Yuri’s hair, soaked in water, had become curly.

As I stared at it, I let Yuri’s last words slip by and burst out laughing.

“Your hair is curly like a baby sheep!”

“A sheep?”

“Gasp!”

My true feelings came out!

Surprised, I widened my eyes and checked to see if Yuri was upset.

But Yuri just smiled and supported my sides, lifting her body up.

“I heard sheep kiss with their noses!”

“……That’s a lie.”

“It’s true.”

If it’s a kiss, it’s a kiss, but what’s a nose kiss?

When I asked with that expression, Yuri, who had fallen back into the water, took my palm as if to demonstrate and touched her nose inside. Tilting her head slightly, she gave me a seductive wink.

“Baa.”

And when Yuri finally opened her pink lips and imitated the cry of a baby sheep in a cute way-

My heart sank.

‘Cu, cute!’
