Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 244

(EP-244.1) Son-in-law? #4

244 – Live-in son-in-law? #4

Gracia, the city of the church.

Near its upscale residential area, there was a high-end restaurant that only accepted reservations.

The name of the restaurant was「Fairy’s Goblet」. It was among the top three places where visiting nobles and dignitaries wanted to dine at least once.

It was very expensive at 500,000 coins per person, and even 20,000 coins for just water. I immediately felt burdened as soon as I sat down.

“A Dinner Course for two. Confirmed. I’ll escort you to your seat.” _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

An elf maitre d’ with slicked-back hair came up to me and confirmed my reservation. I took my seat, responding calmly and confidently.

“My companion hasn’t arrived yet, so please serve the meal when she does.”

“Of course.”

As the elf maitre d’ walked away, I looked around. There was no sign of my ‘companion,’ Stella Bellhawk. She was late.

Stella Bellhawk, minus 10 points.

One should be punctual. I heard elves were strict with time, but Stella seemed to be an exception. Thus, I had to sit alone for about 30 minutes.

The elf maitre d’ kept coming by to ask if I wanted to add to my order. And people around me started snickering.

━Looks like that person got stood up. Pfft-.

━He seems like a young rookie. Poor guy must be regretting the expensive reservation.

“.......”

... She was really not coming.

Just as I started to feel more embarrassed than angry, thinking I might really have been stood up....

Ttakak, ttakak-.

Someone approached me with the sound of high heels clicking.

Turning my head, I saw an elf in a sleeveless dress with a deep neckline and a slit up the side of her thigh, sitting across from me.

━Who is that? Was there ever an elf like that around here?

━I don’t know. How did that brat manage to get such a beautiful....

As much as I didn’t want to admit it, the elf who had dressed herself up drew a lot of attention, and for a moment, I couldn’t remember the anger from waiting so long.

A young, healthy man would naturally be inclined to have his thoughts and all five senses focus on a beautiful woman.

“Theo-kun, I’m a bit late, aren’t I?”

“You’re very late.”

“You’re supposed to say no at times like this!”

“But you are really late...”

“A woman needs time to get ready, you know. If I dress up nicely, Theo-kun’s shoulders would be raised as well. Don’t you agree?”

She had a point...

After all, just sitting next to a pretty woman already elevated my position in this high-end restaurant.

Moments ago, I was an amateur sitting in misery and solitude. But now, I felt like a mysterious young nobleman.

Just then, I heard someone’s voice in my ear.

━Ah, that guy. Now that I see, he’s the mage from that trial by combat a few weeks ago...!
