Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 212

(EP-212.2) #2

212 – Prophet #2

A sharp disagreement brewed.

Both were valid arguments, so neither seemed willing to yield. I just looked at Aira lying peacefully in bed, oblivious to the noisy world.

Rustle, rustle.

Were you having such a good dream that you didn’t want to wake up? Now that I looked at it, the corners of her mouth were slightly lifted.

“.......”

Well, the world was loud and angry. Perhaps not waking up amidst all this noise might be a form of happiness for Aira.

Could it be because of me? Because I said I would stop... No, that was just being self-centered.

“Stop, both of you.”

For now, I calmed down the noisy girls.

“That’s enough.”

When I finally spoke, both Mirna and Elga closed their eyes and turned their heads away from each other.

First, I addressed Mirna.

“Mirna-nim, do you think you could find out what’s causing this sleep and if there’s any way to wake Her Highness up?”

Mirna was a dark priestess.

No one was more suitable for matters related to the mind than her.

“If Aira-nim doesn’t wake up, no one knows what impact it could have on the Draco Family. You could also take this opportunity to create debt.”

To my words, Mirna reluctantly nodded, saying, “Truly, Queen Tarantera knows how to bother.”

“Sir Theo, I want to tell you in advance, this will not be cheap.”

“And Elga-nim.”

“Why me? I can’t do that. You already know it.”

“Elga-nim, there’s a place we need to go. There may come a time when you need to do what you’re good at. Though, it’s better if it doesn’t reach that point.”

Elga, who had been leaning against the wall, raised an eyebrow.

“What are you planning?”

“Just wait, we need to find someone first...”

Since coming to Ark, Aira had been sleeping a lot more. While I felt puzzled and curious about this behavior, I also had a thought.

Aira originally had a tendency to sleep a lot, and with the relaxed atmosphere of Ark, she was finally catching up on all the sleep she had missed.

Plus, she was finally away from the activities that kept her awake in the palace.

However, such thoughts were quickly dispelled when Aira fainted. Whatever the case, there was a problem with Aira.

“... She won’t stay asleep forever, will she?”

Walking together, Elga finally uttered those words. Alongside us, something bloomed in the dark night sky.

Fireworks.

But before I could indulge in the spectacle, Elga spoke again. _{freēwebnovel.com}

If the strange sleeping disorder that Aira was suffering from right now was related to it—.

If this man did know, then he might have a solution.

The only catch was that he might prove too unpredictable. I wanted to approach him with more preparation, but the situation didn’t allow it.

Could I control him?

Of course, I had something akin to his “weakness.” Still, with so many variables, I couldn’t be sure. So, I said.

“Elga-nim, if things go south, run.”

I didn’t just bring Elga, my child was also in her belly. If things got dangerous, I wouldn’t hesitate to flee with Elga.

Elga kicked the door as if she couldn’t understand my passive and defensive attitude.

“Run away? What’s inside that warrants such a reaction?”

“I don’t know either. We’ll have to find out now.”

After a while of waiting for a response...

“And who might this be? I’m humbled, for such distinguished guests to seek this insignificant one on a festival night.”

A voice came from behind. Hastily turning my head, I saw a man holding a bunch of balloons in a flower bed.

His face was hidden by a robe, and he wore a strange horn-shaped ornament on his head. He looked like a tourist who had enjoyed the festival to the fullest.

“It seems you have a lot to say, so please, come in...”
