Rehabilitating the Villainess

It didn’t matter. It would be nice if it was, but it wasn’t necessary.

The potion was auctioned off to the woman.

[The next item is the Dew of Purification, which completely removes any scent and erases any traces of magic!]

This time my eyes burned with passion. This item was something I had to have no matter what. It was the most important thing in my plan.

[Number 38… 800,000 gold!]

[Ah, number 72 here makes an overwhelming difference with 2 million gold!]

I called that bid to express my intention to buy the item no matter the price. However, the auction still did not stop.

[Hhoo, 4 million gold! Number 71 has bid 4 million gold!]

I involuntarily turned my head to the side. And the woman, who was number 71 gave me a nasty sneer. 

It was a familiar sight, but I tried to ignore it and opened my mouth.

“Can’t you yield this one time?”

“Unfortunately, I can’t. I need it too.”

I nodded my head and immersed myself in the auction. But I couldn’t buy the Dew of Purification.

In fact, I didn’t have 4 million gold to begin with, so even if I couldn’t get the Dew of Purification, there were other things I had to buy.

I finished my thoughts and looked at the catalog. A potion that slows one’s ability to think, and rare fruit that weakens one’s ability to stay patient. There were still plenty of other things I had to buy.

[The next item is…]

It was an auction for the special potion I needed to buy. But, once again, I couldn’t with the bid.

[Once again, the item goes to number 71!]

It was because the woman next to me kept targeting the things I wanted to buy. 

I exercised patience and held back my anger.

In the end, all the things I wanted were taken away by the woman.

[Shael’s POV]

Shael looked at Eran with a triumphant smile.

Eran couldn’t win anything, and she had won all the items. He was poor, and she was wealthy. It was the so-called power of money.

“Can you give me only the Dew of Purification?”

“Hmm. I shall see what you can offer and think about it.”

Shael took Eran to the bar next to the black market auction. 

If it had been any other woman, Eran probably would have ignored Shael, but she was able to lure him out with the item she bought at the auction house.

At the same time, Shael also had many doubts. 

‘Why do these things matter so much to him? To the extent that he would follow a woman he doesn’t know to a bar.’

She was curious about why and how Eran wanted to use such items. Furthermore, she even cooked up several scenarios where Eran would have to use those items in her mind.

‘The dew that removes any scent and erases traces of magic.’

What’s more, there was also that suspicious potion she found in Eran’s pocket while they were riding a horse together.

As Shael hadn’t had the chance to be separated from Eran, she couldn’t ask the Azbel family pharmacist about the potion yet, but Shael knew.

Surely, that potion must have been prepared to be used on her.

“What do I have to do?” Eran asked, his impatience clear in his voice.

“I’ll give it to you if you get on your knees.”

Shael wanted to see Eran on her knees, looking with disgust at the woman he hated. Truthfully she did it in a moment of impulse. But when she saw Eran gritting his teeth, Shael felt sorry for him.

‘Was it too much?’

No, it was an order that Eran would never have followed in the first place. 

However, just as Shael was about to cancel her order.

Thudd!

Eran got down on his knees!

Shael couldn’t help but be surprised, ‘Those items are this important to him?’

After the moment of surprise faded, it was replaced by a pleasant sense of conquest. 

At the same time, she also felt quite annoyed. Because now, Eran was essentially on his knees in front of a woman other than her.

After that, Shael had a thought that she would test Eran. Seeing him go this far, it seems that the items were really important to him.

‘How should I test him…hmm.’

“I got down on my knees. Will you give it to me now?”

“You’re quite handsome, so give me a ki*ss.”

Of course, it was an order Eran would definitely reject. Therefore, Shael thought it would be okay because she would be able to see Eran’s funny reaction.

‘Will he draw his sword? Or, perhaps he would slap me on the cheek…’

No matter how he did, Shael would be satisfied with the result. Because those actions would be the proof of his love for her.

However, the situation didn’t go as Shael wished. 

Unexpectedly, Eran was approaching Shael with a passionate look in his eyes!

It was a similar to how Eran usually did when he wanted to ki*ss her. He was really trying to ki*ss another woman! 

Facing such a reality, Shael poured all the curses she could think of at Eran.

‘You…bad man! You perv*ert!’

Shael wanted to cancel the camouflage magic tool right away and catch Eran in the act, but she couldn’t do that.

First of all, receiving a kiss from Eran was the priority. After that, would be the time for retribution!

In fact, Shael couldn’t even move because she was feeling so nervous, and used all her remaining energy to close her eyes, waiting for Eran to ki*ss her.

“…”

‘Does he feel guilty towards me?’ 

Perhaps he was feeling hesitant, Eran was not as quick to ki*ss her like he usually did.

Just like that, quite a bit of time passed, and nothing touched Shael’s lips except for empty air.

Soon, Shael opened her eyes, which had been tightly closed.

She thought that she would still find Eran standing right in front of her, but the man was nowhere to be found. 

Only the empty space welcomed Shael…and that wasn’t the only thing missing.

“Ah…?”

The things she had won while teasing and harassing Eran at the black market auction, except for the Potion of Intoxication, the other items were all gone!
