Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 218

(EP-218.2) #1

218 – Great Escape #1

It didn’t seem like Aira was completely conscious, as she was muttering to herself. However, it wasn’t a bad thing that Aira perceived the situation as a dream.

“Is it not real? I had an inkling, but.... So it was all a dream.”

“Yes.”

“More importantly, Theo, why did you come into my dream? I don’t recall inviting you.”

“That..., Aira-nim. What happened was....”

As I began to explain, Aira placed her palm over my mouth.

“I must have encountered some sort of issue, so you intervened in my mind with the help of the Draco twins. They, or Saintess Priga are the only ones who can break through my mental defenses.”

“.......”

That was amazing.

Even without my explanation, Aira diagnosed her own condition with precision. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

Aira once said, “I know my body best.” It seemed like it was the truth, beyond mere queenly arrogance.

“Still, it wouldn’t have been easy to penetrate my deep subconscious. Impressive. Perhaps it’s thanks to that balloon?”

“Yes. Anyway, we need to get out of here.”

I showed Aira the balloon wrapped around my wrist. Only one balloon left. Thankfully, the situation was going well before everything popped.

“We can use this to escape to a higher place.”

At Aira’s words, I reached out to embrace Lily, who was lying on the ground, and Aira’s waist. Aira nestled against me and softly chuckled.

“Even though it’s a dream, it’s fortunate your arms are long. How did this happen?”

“This..., well, it’s a dream. Things can be a bit exaggerated in here.”

“Yeah, in dreams, anything is possible, and you can meet anything and anyone. Anyway, let’s get going.”

“Go where, my lady?”

“Ever imagined soaring into the sky on a balloon? Just like that.”

“Ah.”

With Aira’s instruction, I leaped lightly into the air, not quite sure what to make of it. This was some sort of lucid dream, so whatever.

Syusyuk-.

Soon the last foothold crumbled, and everything was immersed into the dark void.

But my body was still floating with the balloon tied to my wrist.

A balloon ride, flying among the twinkling stars...

Everything felt surreal.

Yet, there was a certain romantic feeling to it, I thought.

━Geuoooeu, Airaaa....

Seureuk-.

The hairs on the nape of my neck stood like ruffled feathers, as a shiver slithered from the top of my head down ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) to the tip of my toes. One could call it a gut feeling that something bad was about to happen.

━Airaaaaaaaa-.

I instinctively looked below. But what greeted me was countless black pupils.

I couldn’t tell what they were.

But I knew for sure that if I was caught by it, something bad would happen.

Only then did I realize that I was making a huge mistake. The thorn that corroded Aira’s heart was not the death of her family, but something else.

“Aira-nim, what the hell is that-”

Seureuk-.
