Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 206

(EP-206.2) Summer #4

206 – Cold Summer #4

Unbecoming of her dignity, Mirna quickly stood up and blocked my path.

With her arms spread wide to the sides and her legs stretched out shoulder-width apart, she looked like the character ‘大’. It was out of place given the situation, but her somewhat cute appearance almost made me laugh. Was she really trying to make me laugh?

I had to maintain a serious and angry expression. Perhaps it was my acting skills, but Mirna seemed utterly serious, as if she hadn’t noticed my thoughts.

“I’m sorry for hiding it. But, Sir Theo, why don’t you understand that I did it for your sake?”

“You’re saying you did it for my sake?”

“That’s right! When you hear such news, Sir Theo will surely go to the Queen. But what if that capricious Queen decides to take your head this time?”

... Mirna was right. Last time I was lucky enough to survive. What if Aira simply cut me down this time?

It seemed that Mirna was worried about that.

“So, Mirna-nim judged that it’s for my betterment.”

“Yes!”

Suddenly.

This made me wonder, had Aira ever felt this way. Has she ever thought for my sake?

“.......”

“.......”

Then, the feeling of betrayal towards Mirna and the complex emotions that had lingered in °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° my mind seemed to cool down a bit.

In fact, I’d lied to Mirna more than a few times. In that sense, weren’t Mirna and I alike? In a way, the husband sang and the wife followed.

With that, my emotions seemed to have settled a bit. Actually, I wasn’t in a position to accuse Mirna of deceiving me. In this world, the ones deceived would be at fault.

“Why are you silent? Say something, anything. Why are you looking at me like that?”

My brief moment of thought seemed to have thrown Mirna into a thousand different thoughts. Humans certainly suffered from their active imaginations.

“Are you thinking of leaving me here? I’m really doing it for you, Sir Theo....”

Mirna’s voice was trembling with anxiety.

Did she think I was going to say something like “Let’s break up” right here?

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

‘I see.’

Of course, my stance was, “Why me?” Why would I break up with Mirna? If anything, I would do the opposite. I wanted to hold onto Mirna and make sure she wouldn’t run away from me.

“Mirna-nim.”

I opened my mouth after being silent for so long. My voice was calmer than I expected, surprising even myself.

Step, step-.
