Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 211

(EP-211.2) #1

211 – Prophet #1

This prickly attitude wasn’t sitting well with me. What was with her, acting like I’d done something heinous? So, I slowly raised my palm...

Pak-.

Then, I slapped Lily on the cheek. Said spot under the black cloth felt satisfyingly firm. The smack felt good.

“You, did you just hit me!?”

She clutched her cheek, seemingly in utter shock. Her face was hidden behind the cloth, but I could imagine her seething with anger.

But in this situation, shouldn’t I be the one getting angry? I decided to give her a piece of my mind.

“You know better than anyone else why. You might have fooled the others, but not me. And don’t think this ends with just a slap.”

“This, this Demon Monk...! Monster bastard...! You’ll see...!”

Lily retrieved a small, round bead from the pouch-like thingy on her waist. I wondered if it was candy, but then she forcefully threw it to the ground.

It went off with a poof, enveloping the place in smoke.

“Sir Theo, are you okay?”

“I think it’s just a smoke bomb.”

Once the smoke cleared, Mirna, covering her face with a handkerchief, checked on my safety. The smoke was irritating, but fortunately, it didn’t seem toxic.

“It must have been that kid.”

Mirna rattled on about the missing Lily. It seemed that she already figured out who was behind the assassins in the mansion. She was sharp.

Elga was sitting on the bed, soaking her feet in a basin filled with cold water.

There were ice and petals floating around. Only an aristocrat, or a noble lady in this case, would use ice, something commoners didn’t even get to see, for a foot bath.

“Lily? Well, that’s a new name for me. Was there such a person?”

Seeing this, Mirna snorted.

“As it turns out, I knew it was a waste of time trying to talk ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) to you Lady Lioness.”

“So what!? Hey, if you hate it so much, get out! And who allowed you to barge into my room? Can’t you see I’m resting?”

“As if you hadn’t done worse. How dare you come into my mansion and break the gargoyles. Because of your actions, we could have-”

Jojaljojal-.

As Mirna and Elga started raising their voices, I was snapped out of my thoughts.

“Elga-nim, you also don’t know anything about the servant next to Aira-nim?”

“Well, I don’t think so. Anyway, how is it, did you make up with Aira? I knew it would be like this. This just makes things difficult for everyone.”

Elga continued.

“What’s going on? Why isn’t Aira here?” _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}
