I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill - Chapter 86

Chapter 86 – It’s A Little Dangerous There

Bella hugged the blanket and spoke very quietly.

“I’m… wearing the blanket.”

As she moved and her shoulders showed, Kiehl jumped up from the bed and turned around behind her.

“You, you can’t come here like that?”

“No… I asked Rio to bring me some clothes.”

It had been so long since she had changed that she forgot to turn into a talking cat.

“Rio brought me here.”

“No, no matter how late it is…”

Kiehl seemed to be dying, trying to calm his red face. Was he going to say that she had to be patient? Did it make sense that she showed up without warning and suddenly told her to be patient?

“You can’t come here…carelessly.”

But Bella, oblivious to Kiehl’s fussing insides, stood up, roughly covering herself with the blanket.

“Okay. I’ll go.”

“Where, where are you going?! Then!”

At that, Kiehl hastily turned around and grabbed Bella. Where was she going dangerously dressed like that?!

When the blanket that covered her body slid down to her collarbone, Kiehl turned his head again.

“That—”

“Ah…”

Bella also gripped the blanket again and covered herself roughly. It was true. No matter how convenient it was, going around naked would be a bit troubling.

‘I’ll turn into a talking cat… A talking cat!’

She turned into a cat again, imagining a cartoon cat in her head.

“I will be in this form. (Nyaaaang.)”

Bella knew it, too, that everything she said sounded like a cat’s meow.

Her magic took a lot of practice, and Bella had been lazy when it came to magic. In the first place, she couldn’t do it much, so what should she do? She reflected on the days when she acted complacently, saying that being good at swordsmanship and magic was too fraudulent.

When Bella climbed back onto the bed, she turned into a human. Meanwhile, Kiehl couldn’t even look away from her anymore.

‘Ah… It’s too dangerous.’

Bella’s knees and arms sticking out of the blanket she was wrapped in, even though they were the parts of her body he always saw, it stimulated him.

‘…Don’t imagine. I am not a beast. Don’t imagine.’

And perhaps, to be considerate of Kiehl, Bella transformed once more.

‘I’m imagining it. A talking cat. A demon in the form of a cat… demon in cat form.’

As soon as her four soft feet touched the ground, Bella let out a scream.

“Are you okay?”

Fortunately, it was a success.

“Kiehl, I’ll stay like this. Will that work?”

When Bella saw Kiehl, he sighed heavily and sat down on the floor.

“…Ha. Yes, of course.”

Thinking she could talk properly now, Bella turned into a chatty cat.

“When I turned into a cat the other day, I completely forgot to talk about people!”

Kiehl barely managed to calm his beating heart and stood up again.

“Somehow, even though I kept asking Rio to bring me clothes, he kept pretending he didn’t hear me.”

The cat on the bed was talking nonstop.

“Is he bringing clothes for maids to wear? I have to go into the annex.”

“….”

“Kiehl, do you think I’m meowing…?”

Kiehl gulped and sat down next to Bella.

“I can hear you well.”

Since there was no naked Bella in front of him, he was able to hold on to his reason. After calming down, he gave a faint smile at the sight of Bella as a cat, which he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Cat… Long time no see.”

“I know. Been about four years?”

As she replied, Bella lifted her body from the tucked paws position and climbed onto Kiehl’s thighs.

“….”

Kiehl couldn’t understand her. He had barely calmed down, but why was she coming up here?

“If I remain a cat.”

Bella twirled on his thighs, curling her body in search of the best position.

“It’s comfortable.”

‘Even if you’re a cat, don’t sit on my thighs…’

Kiehl put his hand in her armpit and lifted her up.

‘Ah… This one is too cute.’

As he gently rocked the airborne Bella from side to side, her elongated body swayed like the pendulum of a clock.

“Because it’s you, I’m staying still. If other guys do this to me, I won’t let them go.”

Someone said you couldn’t be sexy and cute together. Kiehl loved Bella, now a cat, so much that he forgot everything from a while ago.

“Cute.”

“You pay the fee, too.”

Kiehl kissed Bella’s head without hesitation.

“I won’t receive the fee by just kissing.”

Just kissing… He could have done more.

“Then, how can I pay for it?”

Bella raised her head, her eyes twinkling.

“Touch me.”

Kiehl stroked her until her fur was shiny. Bella seemed to be in a good mood, so she stretched out her arms and pressed them, one foot at a time, roughly anywhere on his body.

“…Good?”

“Well, just a little bit?”

She groaned in an incredibly loud voice. Seeing so, Kiehl kissed Bella one more time, who was holding her chin up. If it were the real Bella, he wouldn’t be able to do it.

She groaned louder now.

“By the way, why are your clothes missing? Where did it disappear?”

“I don’t know who did it. Someone took my clothes and locked the shower door.”

At those words, the hand that was stroking her chin stopped.

“…Locked the door?”

He understood if only the clothes were missing as the maid could have taken them mistakenly.

“Where?”

“These days, I have been sparring with knights at night. I was washing after finishing there, but suddenly my clothes were missing.”

However, upon hearing her story, he sensed that the situation was much more serious than he first thought. As Kiehl’s brow furrowed, Bella pressed her little paw against his brow.

“It’s okay.”

“What is okay?”

“It’s just two people. I remember their voices. I’ll go find them tomorrow morning and cut off a limb or two…”

“Bella. You can’t kill them.”

“I said I would cut them, I didn’t say I would kill them.”

“What if I cut wrong someone with a similar voice?”

Bella stopped, not even breathing.

‘That’s right…’

Actually, the voice wasn’t clear, either. There were some ladies she met when she went to the knights, but she couldn’t even remember their faces.

“So, what should I do?”

Kiehl grabbed Bella’s feet and fidgeted with them. While her fur was all black, only here were pinkish, soft, and fluffy jelly feet.

“Bella guessed who it was as you watched the situation further.”

Since all the ladies hadn’t arrived yet, it was better to be careful and make allies.

“Or you can openly investigate.”

Kiehl did not want to leave the ladies who dared to harm her. Nevertheless, Bella, who was a police officer in her previous life, was very reluctant to pursue a ‘public investigation.’ That way, she could catch the culprit relatively quickly.

‘…I was just going to cut it and finish it smoothly.’

She hated creating a fuss and being in the center of that fuss.

“Okay. I’ll give it a good guess.”

Kiehl stroked Bella’s back.

“And if possible, summon Iwer quickly.”

“Why Iwer?”

“If someone disrespects Bella, Bella doesn’t get angry yourself, but the maids around you get angry, and Iwer is good at that.”

‘Is Iwer good at that?’

She wondered, but Bella responded by rubbing her head against Kiehl’s arm.

“Okay.”

“Keep Jenkins by your side.”

“Oh, I hate hearing him nag.”

“Direct those unlucky words to the ladies who ignore Bella.”

Bella rubbed and stopped.

“Oh, my gosh…. There is a way.”

At that, her pupils widened, and Bella’s round eyes glistened like drops of water as she stared at Kiehl.

“Who told you to be so smart?”

With the most curious and hearty expression before hunting.

‘Oh, my gosh… so cute.’

When he patted her with his finger, Bella toyed with his finger and bit it.

“Hurts.”

Kiehl removed his finger and lowered his eyebrows.

“Gasp Does it hurt? I just bit it a bit.”

When she looked at him in surprise and licked him, Kiehl couldn’t hide the smile on his lips.

“What is it, you’re exaggerating.”

As he nudged Bella here and there with his hand, she bit him as soon as her little paw grabbed his finger. He hoped that the cat in front of him would remain as it was so that he would not explode.

And after a while, Rio came in with clothes just as Bella had said. If he took any clothes, he would be scolded again, so he asked Rinnee and brought a dress.

Though Kiehl and Bella were already asleep.

Leo put the clothes aside and sneakily saw Kiehl asleep.

‘He doesn’t even have nightmares these days.’

Even when traveling in search of holy relics, Kiehl would always barely hold back his pain. Because of that, he was worried that Kiehl would fall for a woman and go to ruin.

Rio, who remembered the scene a few years ago, was rather relieved. The Crown Prince, who was in danger somewhere and seemed to disappear in an instant, became a person who smiled easily in a few months.

‘Because Miss Bella only sees that face every time, she’s probably saying Kiehl’s kind when she sees him.’

* * *

In the morning, Bella changed her clothes and summoned all of the demons. As Kiehl advised the other night, she gave them clear roles.

She entrusted the most important task to Zanbar.

‘I was going to transcribe it again when I came to the Imperial Palace…’

However, she couldn’t.

What if Bella accidentally re-transcribed the novel and someone finds out, just like when her clothes disappeared? Just imagining it was terrifying. So, she thought it would be better for her to come up with a novel that had already been sorted out.

“Zanbar should go to the mansion and bring something.”

“What is it?”

“Just tear open the entire safe in my study.”

As Zanbar nodded, Jenkins raised his hand.

“Then, I will go with you. You won’t know the way anyway.”

“Ah. You can’t. You’re the smart one, so you can look inside the safe.”

“… Isn’t that the same for Sir Zanbar?”

Bella crossed her arms and looked at Jenkins, dumbfounded.

“Hey. Have you been ignoring Zanbar? Do you know how ignorant he is? He can’t even read him.”

That was why she left it to Zanbar. How reliable.
