Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 275

(EP-275.2) Confession #3

275 – Reconciliation and Confession #3

It seemed that my choice to remain silent was a wise one, as a short while later, Mirna, now a bit more composed, finally spoke.

“Did Lady Lioness know about this?”

I was about to answer, thinking the question was directed at me, but Elga responded first, her voice small yet clear.

“I only found out recently.”

“Recently... so, you knew before I did? Sir Theo, you told Lady Lioness before me...?”

Crumple-.

Mirna’s brow furrowed. It seemed she was feeling some anger at the fact that Elga had learned about such an important matter before she did.

In this situation, it was clear that I needed to provide a proper explanation. If I tried to gloss over it, I had the distinct feeling that my hair might get yanked out.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

‘... For real?’

Anyway.

“What I’m telling you now, Mirna-nim is the first to hear it from me directly. As for Elga-nim, she figured it out before I could even say anything.”

Mirna’s eyes widened as large as tomatoes. I couldn’t believe that eyes could get that big, and those red pupils were intensely terrifying.

“Lady Lioness figured it out first? Is that even possible? No way!”

“What’s your problem!? I’m just sitting here, why are you suddenly picking a fight!? There were plenty of hints everywhere, you were the one who didn’t pick up on them, Mirna.”

Elga started growling in irritation. Mirna, too, furrowed her brow in anger.

“Hints?”

“Yeah, when you think about it now, weren’t there a lot of suspicious signs? Red hair, strong magic, and a womanizer. It was basically being advertised right in front of you.”

“.......”

Mirna seemed to ponder Elga’s words for a moment. Then, her face flushed, and her hair bristled.

“Even if you hadn’t told me directly, I would have figured it out soon enough...! So don’t get all smug, Lady Lioness...!”

“What? You didn’t know anything until just now. You always act so smart and superior, but when it comes to something important like this, you’re completely clueless. You’re all talk.”

“What did you say!?” _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

“I said you’re all talk! Come to think of it, when fighting Opal, you were the first to get knocked out, leaving everyone else to suffer. You go on airs about noble duties, but when it really matters, you can’t do anything.”

Mirna trembled uncontrollably at Elga’s ruthless criticism.

Knowing how much it stressed Mirna to have been taken out early in the fight with Opal, I couldn’t help but feel a sudden surge of fear.
