Taming The Villainesses

Chapter 159.2



(EP-159.2) Squad #2

159 – Villain’s Squad #2

True to her reputation as an assassin, Kalira was quick with the information.

I continued asking.

“Then, did she mention who would fight in the trial by combat?”

“No, there was no talk of that. Perhaps the person involved, the Hunter, will participate in the duel. But I don’t understand. Why aren’t they cutting ties with such a party member?”

The attack on the Queen was the decision of the protagonist, the Hunter.

However, Miriam and the other party members were defending him, even taking the punishment with him if necessary.

Gain and loss. To Kalira, who had lived in such a dichotomy, Miriam’s attitude seemed incomprehensible.

Of course, I understood why they had such a close-knit relationship since I had read the original novel. But instead of explaining all the details, I just broadly glossed over it.

“Well, everyone has their own circumstances. I’ll be on my way now. It’s already time to leave, rest well.”

“Yes, until next time, Theo-nim. Let’s have dinner together sometime, and you’re welcome to bring that adorable Imp.”

“Okay, let’s set a date soon.”

Gi-ik, tak.

After saying our goodbyes, I closed the door. By now, the sun had completely set, and the dimming sky signaled my growing fatigue. Managing subordinates wasn’t an easy task.

However, delegating tasks to each of them and overseeing their work was much more efficient and effective than doing everything alone.

That was the reality.

I realized that being someone in a high position wasn’t easy. If I ever ascended to the throne, what kind of ruler would I be?

The First Half-Nymph King?

━Everyone bow…!

Honestly, that would be funny.

Returning to my dorm room, I washed up and laid down on the comfortable bed. In the dimly lit room, I found myself not wanting to do anything.

I just wished I could rest for a day.

Just a day off would be nice.

But as I mentioned earlier, I didn’t have the luxury of time. I needed to improve my magic and conquer the Ladies as quickly as possible.

“What am I even doing here?”

I got up and looked out of the window. The Gold Rank dormitory was located in a relatively scenic spot, offering a beautiful view of Ark’s night scenery.

The street lights, the straight road, and the people passing by.

I didn’t know their names or faces, but they each had their own circumstances. They were striving to live their own lives.

Ultimately, they probably couldn’t fathom that the world they lived in was from a novel.

That was right.

This world was originally a novel. A world of imagination in my head made up of words, spaces, and multiple pages.

I meant, it was fiction.

I used to think of this.

I wondered if I had been hit on the head by someone or if I had lost my mind due to some mental illness, and that all this time I had been having a long dream.

“It’s funny.”

It was laughable even just thinking about it.

But this world was too real and vivid to be fake. If it was a dream, I would have woken up a long time ago.

Well, having free time would just lead to overthinking.

Maybe my body had now been trained so that I couldn’t relax. So after a light stretch, I left the room.

I thought it would be best to first have dinner, and then, consider what to do with the remaining time after.

So, after having a reasonable meal at the dormitory’s cafeteria, I went back and saw someone standing in front of my room.

Silver hair and crimson eyes. It was Mirna.

“Lady Mirna-.”

When I called her name, she turned to me.

“Theo, did you eat dinner?”

However, her voice was unexpectedly cheerful and bright, something that Mirna wasn’t. Which meant that this was her sister, Narmi.

“Oh, it’s Lady Narmi. My apologies. I thought it was Lady Mirna.”

“It’s fine. Everyone gets confused sometimes.”

“So, what brings you here?”

Narmi coming to my room was quite unusual since such a thing had never happened before. Of course, there was probably a reason for it.

However, I played along and asked, “What’s the matter?” Narmi glanced around and said, “Let’s go inside and talk. We shouldn’t discuss this out here where someone might overhear us.”

Her behavior gave off the sense of someone carrying out some kind of secret operation. And with her rather serious expression, I couldn’t help but feel a bit tense as I opened the door.

Then Narmi slipped into my room, looking around.

“What are you doing?”

“Just in case there’s any spy magic or someone eavesdropping!”

‘Spy magic.’

That got me unnecessarily anxious. However, Narmi’s next words put my mind at ease.

“But, it looks like there isn’t any of that. Your room is safe!”

Well, it should be. Because I always took care of my room.

Ever since I learned that Aira could use spiders like CCTVs, I ensured that not a single spider entered my room.

“First, have a glass of water. It might help you calm down a bit.”

I opened the magic fridge and handed the weirdly anxious Narmi a glass of water. Then, with wet lips, she turned towards me.

“Theo, how much of what I’m about to say can you believe?”
