Taming The Villainesses

Episode 209.2

Seuk-.

I raised my hand and lightly touched Agent As dusty cheek. At the same time, Agent As face turned beet red, and she began thrashing around wildly.

Im going to kill you-! What did you do to me?! Aaahh-! Gyaahh-!

She was like a wild beast forcibly restrained, trying to break free.

Id seen a neutered cat wearing a funnel collar thrash around because of it. This scene looked just like that.

Aaahh-! Gyaahh-! Kiaaahh-!

I was prepared, but this was intense.

Mirna asked, covering her face with the fan, not anticipating such a situation.

Whats happening?

Touching the targets body will dispel the magic. Their rationality returns, and they remember what theyve done. Thats why shes thrashing about like that.

Ah, its like remembering embarrassing memories and pulling the covers over yourself.

Mirna caught on quickly, with no further explanations needed. This definitely saved a lot of effort. 

Well, weve gathered enough information. Lets put them in the mansions underground dungeon for now.

Youll do that?

And, daring to send people into my property. This matter cannot be overlooked. Now, Sir Theo, this is no longer just a matter between you and the Queen.

Seureureu-.

The morning sunlight illuminated Mirnas face, which had been hidden in the darkness. It was the sun breaking through the clouds.

Truly, it was going to be a long day.

* * *

The Queens day was filled with gentle elegance and nobility.

A pleasant stroll as always.

Aira, come quickly.

What are you doing?

As the girl chased the butterflies in the garden with her older brothers and sisters, she suddenly realized that the situation was too good to be true.

Ah, its a dream

Queen Aira had spider-like intuition

That was why she realized that this blissful moment was not reality but a dream. Yet, despite knowing it to be an illusion, she couldnt just wake up.

Because if she opened her eyes, everything would disappear.

The only thing that could wake her was the voice of a man, neither too loud nor too small, clearly resonating in her mind.

It would come soon. Then Aira would have to wake up from this dream and live another day. But Airas prediction was wrong.

Tarantera-nim, its time to wake up.

What reached Airas ears was an unfamiliar voice. She woke up from her slumber to the discordant voice of a woman, it was soft yet somehow unnerving.

As she raised her head, Mirna saw a woman with her face covered by black cloth looking at her.

Ah.

Only then did Aira remember. There was no Half-Fairy. As blood gradually flowed through her head, her last memory came to mind.

I fell asleep during the lecture again.

Yes, but theres no problem. Everything remains on schedule. Tarantera-nim is still as beautiful as ever!

.

Instead of responding to the flattering praise, Aira slowly got up and rolled her eyes. Her black obsidian eyes were fixed on the cage-shaped letterbox.

The letterbox remained unchanged. It seemed that no letter had arrived last night.

Did any letter come?

No letter came.

None?

Yes, there is none.

The womans words were unwavering. It was clear that she was speaking the truth.

This woman always spoke only the truth to herself like someone.

With the empty letterbox, any hope she had just a moment ago vanished, and once again, the heavy fatigue began to weigh down on the Queens eyelids. Had she had known this was the case, she wouldnt have woken up.

No, that was not an option. Even now, that Serazade must be rallying support among the people. There was no time to sleep like this.

I have to defeat Serazade. Because.

Hmm, why do I have to defeat Serazade?

Aira realized that her thoughts were not coherent. There seemed to be gaps in her memory, and her motives and reasons didnt quite align. In fact, had it worsened recently?

You need to rest.

Someones voice echoed in her ears. Who was it? Was it a dream? Somehow, along with a quiet sense of disappointment, she felt new emotions pulsating strongly in her chest.

But now, everything seemed to blend together and she couldnt distinguish whether it was a dream or reality.

Even though she slept, it didnt feel like she did.

Would you like to sleep a bit more? You have nothing scheduled in the morning, so you can sleep until the afternoon.

.

Aira closed her eyes. With this, her body would sink into the soft bed and drift into a dream.

Shed remove herself from such thoughts and distractions. 

Knock, knock-.

Then someone knocked on the door.

A letter has arrived.

A letter?

Aira, who was half-asleep, became slightly more awake. At the same time, she heard the sound of someone clicking their tongue.

Tarantera-nim is currently asleep. Leave it there and go.

This letter cannot be left alone and must be received in-person. Is the Queen sleeping? The letter is from someone named Theo Gospel.

Seuk-.

Airas eyes shot open.

Yeah, that was right. As expected

He was trying to seek forgiveness for his mistake~.

As everyone in the world already knew, Aira was a Queen overflowing with compassion. 

If the Half-Fairy were to kneel before her and ask for forgiveness, swearing lifelong loyalty, Aira would be willing to overlook it.
