I’m Villainess but I’m The Richest - Chapter 2
Ashtelin decides to become the unfavorable youngest daughter of a chaebol family!
Sitting on the bed, she thought about the original story <The Clemence’s Mistake>.
“So …. the author who has robbed my 25,000 won, has a ruined ending, perhaps”
In the last episode of <The Clemence’s Mistake>, the last sentence was like this.
[The world is ruined by the wrath of the prisoned cat who was abandoned by Clemence.]
And suddenly the atmosphere has collapsed.
She remembers being angry with the author who said it was a reverse harem romance fantasy and finally gave up the ending of destruction.
But now she transferred into <The Clemence’s Mistake> novel.
She pondered.
‘Let’s take a look!’
There seems to be an easy way to stop the world from ruining, to live as a rich unemployed, and to make everyone happy.
“If I pick the prisoned-cat that Clemence throw away and raise it well, this world won’t ruin and I will be happy and good, right?”
Ashtelin originally loved cats.
It was her pleasure to feed the street cat after her cat crossed the Rainbow Bridge and her specialty was to ‘upgrade’ a skinny cat to its normal weight.
“That was good. Let’s go pick it up first!”
She had to go to pick up the cat and protect world peace.
‘Ha, how cute would it be, I am excited.’
But in fact, the future that will come to her is a dragon, not a cute cat.
A bright laughter blossomed on her lips, who did not know that fact at all.
***
To pick it up quickly, Ashtelin has to go to the dressing room first.
Because she has to dress up to get out.
The problem was, as the author wrote, Ashtelin Pharadi has ‘frugal behavior’ and it is read as an act of ‘peculiar taste’.
Ashtelin sighed while looking silently at the clothes in the dressing room.
‘Why are all my clothes so old? I want to tear it all. Even ordinary people would throw it away!’
Ashtelin, who picked the least faded clothes in the dressing room, glanced at the maid standing next to her.
‘I think her name was Orene.’
Ashtelin asked the maid directly.
“Orene?”
“Yes, Ashtelin-nim!”
“How much of the duke’s property am I allowed to use?”
According to the original story, the family members of the Duke of Pharadi are divided into two.
There’s one who had the coming-of-age ceremony, and the one who did not.
‘In the Duke of Pharadi, the coming-of-age ceremony is the only way to be recognized as a real aristocrat.’
Because Ashtaline didn’t have a coming-of-age ceremony, so she couldn’t have enough wealth yet.
“……….. you can probably use some of your fortune if you use the name of the Duke. Even if you didn’t have the coming-of-age ceremony, you’re still the lady of the Duke.”
Orene, who was checking Ashtelin’s clothes, whispered.
Even if “some” of The Duke Pharadi won’t be small in size.
“Okay, that’s perfect.”
Ashtelin laughed.
A solid plan for living as an unfavorable daughter of 3rd-generation chaebol is being completed.
She decided to go to the prisoned-cat markets by carriage. Perhaps because Ashtaline’s influence in the original story was beyond the reach, the carriage was beautiful.
In addition, some escort knights stood by the carriage to guard Ashtelin.
“Ashtelin-nim, Do you need something?.”
Orene was looking at the changed Astaine’s faces, whispering carefully.
“Ah, Orene.”
“Yes!”
Before getting into the carriage, Ashtelin gave Orene a request.
“Make sure to clean my room and villa. A special guest will come.”
She’s planning to bring the prisoned-cat who will ruin the world in the future. So, the house shouldn’t be dirty.
‘Before I leave the villa, I have to stay here for a while.’
There will be a coming-of-age ceremony soon anyway.
At that time Ashtelin would leave the villa, until then she didn’t want to drink the dust.
“But Ashtelin-nim. Did you tell me to clean it?”
Orene blinked her innocent eyes.
Ashtelin nodded silently and replied.
“That means I can clean up…….right?”
Orene looked very happy.
…… What, this dirty situation?
‘No, does it mean that the original Ashtelin didn’t even let her clean up?’
Just looking at the dusty mirror, she could guess.
“I’ll wipe all the dusty mirrors clean, iron your clothes, and bring your jewelry back to its original form!”
After hearing the excited Orene’s chatter, Ashtelin was dumbfounded and nodded her head.
Oren nodded with a jump of joy.
“Yes, Ashtelin-nim! I’ll keep cleaning hard until you come back!”
“You’ll need maids in charge of cleaning the house.”
She became a maid of honor of Ashtelin, like a kite with a broken string. But, Orene was her maid of honor. She shouldn’t have done what she had to do.
“Oh, the Duke said he would send some…… but I’m afraid the lady will refuse it.”
“In the future, don’t give up and take it freely. Money, maids or whatever.”
At Ashtelin’s refreshing attitude, Orene nodded urgently.
“I’ll be right back, then.”
Ashtelin turned to get in the carriage.
The driver asked with politely
“Lady, Where shall I take you?”
“I’m going to the prisoner markets.”
The driver’s face stiffened at Ashtelin’s reply.
“……The prisoner markets? Are you trying to buy a prisoner with money?”
The driver’s expression became strange. She didn’t really like it.
However, Ashtelin has decided to become a rich and unfavorable person anyway.
She’s not one to be daunted by this sense of humor.
“Yeah. I want to buy it with money.”
It means to buy a favor with money, but there’s no need to reveal that.
That’s how Ashtelin Pharadi’s tragic journey to prevent the destruction of the world began.
Astein glanced at him.
“Ah… I see.”
He had an uncomfortable face, but fortunately, like a driver of a duke, he finished the escort neatly without any changes in his expression.
That’s how Ashtelin Pharadi heroic journey to prevent the ruin of the world began.
Of course, there was a bit of selfishness in it.
Cat!
She couldn’t wait to become a cat butler!

The carriage ran fast.
Before long, Ashtelin arrived in the small pet prison market which resides in the Viscount of Phelperny’s estate.
‘The Marquis Salame said that he bought it from Viscount Phelperny’s small pet prisoner market and gave it to Clemence. So… I’m sure here.’
The empire in this novel was a society that treats prisoners as animals.
Be it male or female, it was treated as a kind of pet.
But…
No matter how miserable it was, the trade was severe.
‘Ah, it’s inhumane.’
Ashtelin walked with a frown.
On both sides of her, the gorgeous duke knights began escorting her.
Ashtelin asked the knight.
“Where is it?”
“If we walk a little more, I think it will come out.”
The knights exchanged strange glances with each other.
The pet prisoner market in Viscount Phelperny’s was small and quiet. For this reason, as she entered the markets, she recognized people one by one.
“Ah, is this Lady Ashtelin?”
“What are you doing here ?”
The people were very noisy. It was common for aristocrats to appear in the prisoner markets.
However, Ashtein Pharadi “dislikes” the places like this.
Because Lady Clemence didn’t like the prisoner market, so she didn’t like it.
People believed that Ashtelin who followed Lady Clemence would definitely hate the prisoner market.
“Is Lady Clemence here? Try to look around.”
“Lady Clemence has made several comments that she despise the prisoner markets. She couldn’t be here!”
“Then why is she here?”
Perhaps she and Clemence are quite a hot topic in the society circle these days.
‘Yes, go ahead and speak all you want.’
Whether she swore at them or not, Ashtelin had no time to care about them.
Ashtelin muttered as she looked around.
“Where should I go to meet the prisoned-cat?”
The cat that Marquis Salame gave to Clemence and abandoned by Clemence’s mistake.
Where is that cute little cat who respects humans and will ruin the world by joining with their different races in the future?
The prison markets of Viscount Phelperny’s were not wide.
However, with Astaine’s poor stamina, she couldn’t look back at all.
“Hey.”
Finally, Ashtelin decided to ask people.
She summoned a man who looked like a passing extra.
“Yes?”
“Where should I go if I want to adopt a prisoned-cat?”
“Adoption…? If you want a prisoned-cat, you can go in the booth over there…”
“Okay, I understand.”
The timing was right, and it was true that the cat was in Viscount Phelperny’s pet markets, and it was certain that there was a prisoned-cat.
‘Ah, I’m going to work hard, I have to train my cat well and brainwash it.’
Ashtelin hurried headed to the booth pointed to by the man. Stepping cheerfully.
The knights just followed her with confused faces.
Arriving at the cat booth, Ashtelin was in an embarrassing situation.
Entering the booth, a cage greeted her.
“Meow.”
“Nyang!”
Inside the cage, cute cats were trapped and crying.
Considering that cats are territorial animals, it was quite inhumane to keep several cats in a small cage.
But the trader in the booth said, pointing to the cage without worrying.
“A total is about ten. You can choose between these. Because they are of different races, they can use wicked magic, so we have to use the magical bars.”
“Ten races……..”
Ashtelin looked closely at the cats.
‘How can there be ten races!’
She’s not sure which one who can ruin the world right now…
“Hmm.”
‘The feet should be as white as white socks, the whiskers should be long and it has a lot of hair.’
Remembering its characteristics of the original story.
A cat with white socks, long whiskers, and a lot of hair…..
‘Ah, there are two.’
The options were narrowed down to two out of ten.
One black tuxedo with white-footed cat and there’s a cat that’s white all over and fluffy….
‘It’s really so cute that I can’t breathe.’
But, wait a minute.
‘is that a cat?’
