Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 21

(EP-21.2) Angmar #1

021 – Peaceful Angmar #1

“You bastard, King Angmar died ages ago!”

━King Angmar didn't die, King will come back! For the abandoned races, King will come back and lead again!

Kwaaa— The ogre roared.

“That's it.”

In the midst of all the commotion, I could clearly hear Aira's soft voice. When she snapped her fingers, the ogre's body suddenly floated into the air.

━Gorgor in the sky. Gorgor flying!

Said ogre was then smashed into the lake.

Goreureureureu- Pungdong, pungdong.

He sank to the very bottom, struggling to and fro. However, his gigantic body could never float up to the surface, as if he was held underwater by an invisible force.

“It, it’s a miracle!”

“Is this the power of Queen Aira?”

“The ogre, who treated a heavily-equipped knight like a child, was defeated with just a simple snap....”

There was a sense of fear and awe in the eyes of the soldiers watching this scene. Truly, a Rank 7 Archmage transcended Human beings...

It was majestic. A once-in-a-lifetime experience that you had to witness with your own eyes.

Seuk, seukseuk-

Everyone laid down their weapons, bent their knees and bowed their heads. Before them, the Queen of Angmar stood proudly.

This wasn't a bad thing.

The soldiers would soon spread the word of this exploit among the people.

However, I just couldn't let it end like this.

“Aira-nim, how about letting him go?”

“This ogre has insulted the royal authority, yet you want to let him live?”

Aira was intent on killing the ogre.

In fact, Aira was right. We should not keep a rampant monster alive. Nevertheless, I didn't want Aira to commit murder.

Also, I had another reason for wanting to save the ogre.

“I'm sure the wise Aira-nim already knows. Ogres are stupid and can't think of taking over a castle without someone's command."

“... That's true.”

“If Aira-nim is using water torture to find out who is behind the ogre, I think now is the right time to get him up for interrogation.”

"Yes, it’s exactly what I was thinking.”

Seueuk.

Ttak.

Once Aira snapped her fingers, the drowning ogre was lifted into the air and dumped on the ground.

A mouthful of water spurted out of Gorgor’s mouth.

━Water. So hateful. Stop making me drink....

He didn't seem to have the energy to resist anymore.

I approached and asked the ogre.

“I don’t think you could have done this alone. Who's your Master?”

━Master? I am Gorgor. Gorgor don't take orders! Rather, Gorgor came to collect debt! Past year, Gorgor worked hard to repair Einrich Castle. However, no wages!

“No wages?”

━Gorgor worked hard to fix and rebuild castle, but no pay...

What was going on here?

I asked the Guard Captain who was standing next to us.

“Is this true?”
