Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 38

(EP-38.2) #2

038 – Rival #2

Elga couldn’t move properly because of the strange feeling in her lower abdomen.

Was it my fault?

... Was it because of my cuɱ?

If Elga got killed by Mirna due to that baffling reason, I would definitely feel guilty...

Also, this fight must end.

I knew it was terribly rude to have a third party interrupt during a duel, but I couldn’t help it. Also, was I not the authorized arbiter of this duel?

Seueuk.

So I approached the two and put some distance between them.

“As the judge, I request that we stop this duel. If this situation escalates any further, it will cause international troubles and stain the names of Angmar as well as Her Majesty.”

Foreign affairs, Angmar state status and Her Majesty the Queen.

I knew well that these two couldn’t be stopped with just these keywords. However, I had no choice but to rely on my acting and tutoring skills.

“... What is this, Theo Gospel? Are you interfering with the duel now!?”

Unsurprisingly, Elga fired shots at me. Hearing her harsh words, I could feel my cheeks tingle.

Mirna Draco also angrily chop-folded her black fan.

“How dare you intervene in the affairs of the great families? How insulting, Theo Gospel. Insulting I say, humiliating even!”

Seriously...

I was saving your life right now. If you kept on fighting here, one of you would really die!

Of course, this complaint of mine could not be made out loud.

Suddenly, I felt a gaze being directed at me. The culprit, to my surprise, was none other than the blue-eyed, grey-haired Lich, Aleister Draco.

━..........

Those empty blue eyes seemed to be reading my soul. Well, they weren’t actual ‘eyes’, but still...

Anyway, the blue lights looked as if they contained some kind of intelligence or will.

Was that possible? As far as I knew, the necromancer’s undead were just puppets.

Thanks to this, the tension was intensified...

Seueuk.

... Until the blue-eyed skeleton turned around and left.

━Bul’ue yakk.

“... Uh, where are you going?”

As if she had not anticipated such a move, Mirna Draco was terribly perplexed.

“Do not go! Come back! We’re not stopping the duel! It’s not over yet! Follow my orders! Come on!”

Mirna grabbed her father’s remains and tried to pull on it, but the blue-eyed Lich continued walking away as if it had already lost the will to fight. The crowd soon split in two to let it pass through.

“What, are you running away? Cowardly bas†ards! You’re really fleeing with your tail between your legs?”

Elga shouted more provocations, but the Lich simply left without regard to her taunts or Mirna’s persuasion.

In the end, only Mirna remained.

Trembling like a cat doused in cold water, Mirna then pointed to Elga with the tip of her fan.

“This is it for today! But as long as you’re in this city, you’d better not sleep too comfortably, Lioness girl!”

Surprisingly, she pointed her fan at me as well.

“And you...! Theo Gospel, I will never forget the humiliation that happened today!”

With that, Mirna Draco also followed the footsteps of the skeleton. It was not long before they both disappeared from our sight.

Huuu-.

It was only then that the weight in my chest was lifted, saving my heart from exploding. Mirna Draco, that girl was the very model of a Villainess...

I thought about taking a look at her stats or features, but couldn’t find an opportunity to do so.
