Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 264

(EP-264.1) Song #1

264 – Cicada’s Song #1

I spoke to Mirna.

I asked her to become my family.

I proposed that we have a child together.

Hearing this, Mirna was even more embarrassed than when I had asked her to ride on top of me earlier. She even started trembling all over.

“Uhh...”

Her face turned as red as a detonated bomb, and she hesitated. Then, she picked up the cloak from the ground and used it to cover her face.

“... Is that true? Do you really want to have a child with me?”

“Yes. There’s not a single lie. I want to make a family with Mirna-nim.”

“Was this the confession you were going to make today...?”

“It’s similar. But the process is completely different.”

In truth, I planned to have a lovely dinner at a fancy restaurant, then confess at a luxury ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) hotel with a view of Monarch City’s nightscape. That was probably the kind of confession noble ladies dreamt of.

Though, plans would often go awry. There was no luxurious wine that Mirna might like here, nor was there a balcony with some shimmering night view.

Just an old ruin and the glaring sunlight.

Realizing this, I suddenly felt insignificant as a man.

Such a tasteless confession.

“... To bring this up now, so suddenly... I never thought of it...”

Mirna looked anxious. Her eyes darted back and forth, and her hands clenched tightly around the cloak covering her face and body.

It was hard to tell if this was a good reaction or a bad one.

At least she didn’t seem angry, which was a relief.

I decided to make a manly dash towards Mirna’s tightly closed door.

“Mirna-nim, please become my family.”

“Family...”

“Yes, family.”

‘Family.’

I wasn’t sure how those words sounded to Mirna.

However, for me, there was no better way to express my feelings than asking her to become my family.

Whether my sincerity reached her or not, Mirna, who was looking anxious, suddenly bowed her head and sighed softly.

“... Sir Theo, regarding the child... no, about this matter, I need some time to think.”

“Time...?”

My expression must not have looked good, as Mirna explained.

“To conceive a life is not something that should be decided lightly. It requires thorough consideration and deliberation.”

“I also gave it a lot of thought before bringing it up.”

“Were you perhaps distracted recently because of this? Because of thinking about such matters?”

At Mirna’s question, I recalled my recent state.

“That’s right. Every day, I was busy thinking about the future with Mirna-nim.”

“W-what embarrassing things are you saying...!?”

Mirna’s hair ruffled in surprise. She then sighed deeply and added a few words.

“If we really do have a child, do you know how much we need to prepare beforehand?”
