Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 127

(EP-127.1) Queen #2

127 – The Wise Queen #2

From what Aira was saying, she knew the reason why her family died so suddenly and she also knew who the culprit was.

I couldn’t help myself and asked.

“Who is the culprit?”

Right, who was it?

I was getting a bit nervous.

If what came out of Aira’s mouth went along with either the “Lioness’ ” or “Draco’s”, things would get real complicated.

Fortunately, what Aira said wasn’t what I was dreading.

“Angmar’s will. Solomon’s descendant still roams this world.”

“Solomon’s descendant?”

“That’s right.”

“So the Demon King’s family targeted Queen Aira’s family?”

“.......”

Aira didn’t answer my question.

I couldn’t tell if it was because she didn’t know herself, or if there was a reason she needed to keep it hidden, or if she simply didn’t feel like talking.

Perhaps it was just nonsensical rambling from being half-asleep.

But unlike with other people, I couldn’t just let what Aira say enter in one ear and dismiss out in the ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) other. Her words held weight.

Then Aira finally said.

“I want to know the answer too. That’s why, Theo, bring Angmar’s descendant before me. Speaking of which, how has the investigation been progressing?”

“Well, as the Queen mentioned, we are currently investigating. We’re looking for someone with red hair, a Mage, and if it’s a man, someone with complicated relationships with women. If it’s a woman, then someone with complicated relationships with men.”

Aira nodded satisfactorily with my proper answer. But did she know that the answer was right in front of her?

She might not know now, but she’d inevitably find out someday. Because my hair was getting redder by the second under the influence of magic!

It was either Aira figured out my identity or I managed to tame her first.

This was a timed attack where either of us could emerge victorious. And for now, I was at a disadvantage.

So, pretending to be ignorant, I casually asked Aira like I was purely just asking out of curiosity.

“What will you do if you find Angmar’s descendant?”

“Theo, what do you think is the right course of action?”

‘You’re asking me?’

Okay, let’s think of this objectively. From Aira’s perspective, was there anything as troublesome as the existence of the former ruler of the throne? By that logic, killing them would be the most appropriate.

But if I were to give such an answer, it would be no different than choking myself with my own hands.

I was stuck in a dilemma.

“Theo, you shouldn’t underestimate Angmar’s descendants. Their true danger lies not in their individual capabilities, but when they gather as a group.”

“As a group?”

“Theo, think of the Imp Marmar and Ogre Gorgor. They are known as demons. Do you consider them as evil and ruthless as the rumors suggest?”

At Aira’s question, the images of Marmar and Gorgor came to mind. To be honest, they felt a little different from the demons I knew.

Not to mention Marmar, in a way, who had a civic side.

As for Gorgor, he had just explained to me what he had learned when we met recently.

━Violence. The lowest level of tools. Intellectuals do not rely on violence. However, it is always there. Bear in mind and never forget. Have humility.

It was surprising to see him listening intently to the lectures and even climbed to around 400th rank.

The Ogre I knew was like a siege weapon, clad in heavy armor, demolishing city walls on his own.

“Hmm.”

Looking at it now, there were certainly aspects of them that differed from the fearsome demons I knew. As I acknowledged that, Aira added.

“Although they appear docile and peaceful right now, the demons gathered under the banner of Angmar become beings who fear not even death. Like an army of shadows beyond the wall.” _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

Speaking of a shadow army, I was reminded of the second half of the original novel. The dark army besieging Ark’s barrier dome in brutal waves.

However, I never thought of giving Marmar and Gorgor any wicked orders. There was hardly any occasion for me to boss them around in the first place.
