I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead?

o my mother, I sometimes received free training from her since childhood and learned horseback riding as a hobby for ten years.
It was a great privilege.

I never thought there would come a day when I would use it like this…

“I’m just trying to imitate her, but I’m embarrassed.”

“Can you ride anymore?”

As he helped me, he asked and gestured with his chin behind me.

I glanced back in the direction he was beckoning and was startled.
It was because while I was chatting with Dimitri and muttering, the dog shapeshifters had already turned around and found me.

“Ah… That’s fast.”

What would have happened if Dimitri had not come?

It was bittersweet to think that, despite these efforts, I would have been taken away without success still.
Meanwhile, with my lamentation, Dimitri checked my condition and clicked his tongue.
Every muscle in my body was trembling slightly because of over-exerting myself.

Suddenly, some of the emperor’s hounds jumped off their horses and turned into dogs before running towards us.
Blocking behind us to keep us from escaping, they growled and started to drive us towards the opposing side.

As the distance narrowed to a certain extent, the hounds used their power and placed a white barrier around us, locking us inside the area.
A white dome-shaped barrier wrapped around us, quickly cutting out the surrounding landscape and isolating us.

“His Majesty wants to speak with her, Duke of Blois.”

One hound that remained with us in the barrier spoke sternly.

“Then, he could send an official invitation.
What’s the big deal?”

Dimitri’s pupils dilated black to their full size as he uttered.
Seeing this, my spine shivered and I held my breath quietly.

‘That is…!’

It was the eyes of a cat that were three seconds away before it went crazy.

As I expected, Dimitri, who had pressed the hound with his eyes, ran towards him without warning.
In an instant, the swords collided and made a sharp sound.

I shrank back in surprise.

My heart fluttered since it was the first time I saw people fighting each other with blades in front of me.
Though the nervousness was short-lived, since it seemed so dangerous that my sense of reality disappeared.

I watched the fight with my mouth wide open.

‘It is like a movie…’

While Dimitri wielded a sword in both his hands, plowing the hound, the hound also held up his sword and stopped him.

Even though I did not know anything about physical fights, I thought it would be difficult for Dimitri, who had a slender physique, to resist if a two-meter-tall and large hound pressed him down with force.
However, it was rather the hound who hesitated.

The hound blocked his and occasionally attempted to attack, but was pushed back helplessly by the persistent and bewitching attack of Dimitri.

He was fast and scary — the momentum of the rushing energy was truly terrifying.

‘…A dog could not beat a cat in a fight between an unexcited dog and an excited cat.’

No matter how big the difference would be.

‘Cats would not hold back…!’

On the other hand, the dog shapeshifter had come to carry out the Emperor’s orders.
Their purpose was to kidnap me, not to fight with Dimitri.
He must have been patient since it was what he had been trained to do.

“Don’t make things worse, Duke Blois! Count Larscel agreed.
His Majesty didn’t order us to attack, he just…!”

“So what? Can’t you see that my wife doesn’t want to?”

Lowering his sword into the face of the hound, a long cut was left on the cheek of the hound who turned his head to avoid it by a narrow call.
Seeing the blood, Dimitri grinned with a flash of madness in his eyes.

“Get out of here before my demon excavates your bones alive.”

“His Majesty’s order to enter the palace…”

“Go and tell your master.
If he has something to say to my wife, don’t do anything like this and issue a formal letter.
I myself will visit the Imperial Palace with my wife.”

Dimitri smiled and added.

“Tell him that the Duke gave him this advice.
If possible, accept that he was already defeated and give up because this is ugly.”

…Was he offended by the insult to his master? Immediately, the hound frowned and pushed Dimitri away.

“We listen only to His Majesty’s orders.”

As soon as he finished his words, another barrier was created around me, who was far away from the two of them.
Just before the barrier completely covered me, I could see the outer barrier was broken as the hound, who was fighting earlier, turned into a dog.

Consequently, the hounds outside rushed to Dimitri in unison.

“This is why I hate dogs.”

At the end of his annoyed voice, he was trapped in a barrier that blocked the sound and view.
With Dimitri’s remarks sticking close to me, I was isolated.
