Taming The Villainesses chapter 147

(EP.147)# 7

147 – Pincer #7

Elgar and Mirna were growling towards each other.

In my eyes, I could see the spears and the blades clashing behind them as they quarreled with each other.

It was a kind of war.

The battlefield of tragedy that took place in the long history of the Angmar Kingdom is now unfolding at the table of this cafe.

It was Elgar who provoked first.

To suddenly ask Mirna, “Can I like this guy?” Because it was such a shocking confession, I couldn’t help but be nervous.

damn… .

Elgar is out of control.

Meanwhile, Mirna said.

“Then I will make a condition. I wish I could make a suggestion.”

Condition?

Of course, I knew that Mirna would refuse. “Are you looking for my fiancé? Little Lioness, don’t you have any pride?”

However, as if Mirna had a lot of confidence in Elgar’s provocations, she even made a suggestion to Elgar.

“Liones little girl. You’re not afraid of my offer, are you?”

“You know I’m a coward like you? Okay, what’s the offer?”

Elgar raised the tip of her chin slightly as if to say something. Then, Mirna spoke with a solemn face behind the fan that was being spread out.

“I set a date.”

“date?”

“Set a date. That day, he asks Tae-oh Gospel to decide a winner. That the chosen one will take everything that day.”

“Huh, everything? Do you really want to lose so much?”

Elgar continued to provoke Mirna, as if she never thought she would lose.

silkygoat was the goat. cry

Now that I see, Elgar isn’t very good at logical conversations, but he seems to have a knack for arguing that upsets the other person.

He’s been on the battlefield, so maybe he has a talent for trespassing to bring out the enemy commander.

Whether she had fallen for Elgar’s provocation or whether she was really confident, Mirna also showed a leisurely smile.

“300,000 gold.”

“What?”

“The loser pays the winner 300,000 gold as a gift. What do you think?”

“Hey, I can’t figure it out. 300,000 gold is enough money to build and operate a fortress in a base. Are you going to bet on this bet?”

At Mirna’s big proposal, Elgar seemed to be quite embarrassed. To understand, 300,000 gold was an overwhelmingly large amount.

An amount equivalent to the family’s several years’ budget.

When such money is staked, the difference between winners and losers will start to show a sharp difference.

“It is similar to the amount the loser paid for post-war reparations in the war between dragons and lions. Do you have any objections? Or would you like to reduce the amount a little for you who will lose?”

This time, Mirna’s provocation continued.

Elgar gritts at him and grinds his teeth. It is surprising how such a sound can come out of a human mouth.

“okay. There is objection. It’s not a war between dragons and lions, but a war between lions and dragons. We’ve won more. Don’t you know that too?”

“You have a lot more casualties.”

“Oh, yes. casualties. So where are all your families now? Did you all go to the cemetery after practicing necromancy?”

“what-!?”

Mirna banged the table like she was really mad.

Surprised by this, the story became so intense that I thought I should finish it quickly before the real war really broke out.

“It would be good for both of you to talk until now. It was late. If we talked more, we would only raise our voices.”

* * *

Elgar and Mirna went their separate ways.

I also returned to my dormitory.

Because I had a lot to think about because of what happened today, so I felt like my head was sizzling. As I was alone and recounting why the situation was like this, someone knocked on the door of my room.

-It’s me, open the door quickly.

It was Elgar.

At the same time, I also had a lot to say to Elgar.

So, when I opened the door, Elgar, who had taken off her makeup and changed into comfortable clothes, was standing in front of the door.

“Hey, I know you have a lot to say. Just give me time to say a few words.”

Elgar seemed to have a gut feeling that I was going to pour the story out to her. Knowing that, I came out so proudly, so I decided to listen to what the hell he was going to say.

Then Elgar, who was looking around, closed the door and came in and spoke to me.

“Mirna, this is the best way to get her over completely. It provokes jealousy and competition.”

From what I heard, it seemed that all of this was planned and designed by Elgar.

“Is this helping you?”

Elgar protests that she has done this for me.

I set aside the emotions that spread in many ways and asked with a cold mind.

“So, did you bet a huge sum of 300,000 gold? Now that the contract has been written, I can’t even move backwards.”

“What is 300,000 gold? . It’s something I hadn’t thought of though. I have nothing to lose anyway, right? is not it? You would choose me.”

“no… .”

silkygoat was the goat. cry

Neither Elgar nor Mirna don’t think they’re going to lose.

I don’t know where this confidence comes from.

If only you could give me half of it.

As I fell into silence, Elgar added a few words as an excuse.

“Trust me. This is really the fastest way. If not in this extreme way, would you want to touch Mirna’s thighs as a bastard?”

Elgar seemed to have no doubts, believing that this kind of incitement was the best way to attack Mirna.

If you think about it for sure, there was no way to advance the relationship with Mirna unless it was such an extreme number.

If there is, I’m just making it clear that I’m actually Solomon’s grandson.

That’s probably because the risk is too great.

“Are you not happy with my help?”

At that moment, it seemed that Elgar was examining my complexion. Now that I think about it, Elgar must have done this to help me in her own way.

“To be honest, first of all, it’s embarrassing. In the future, I would like you to consult with me first when doing something like this.”

“Huh, what? Did you consult with me and flirt with Mirna?”

Having said that, I have nothing else to say.

Dealing with women was not an easy task.

I feel like I can understand why the lifespans of the successive Angmar kings were short. If the day goes by and an incident like today explodes among the wives, it is clear that I will not be able to live up to my name.

It would be terrifying if so many children were born and even fought for the succession to the throne.

No… . I hope this is a lie

I shook my head lightly to defeat the letters that appeared in front of me. And after that, he said to Elgar, who seemed to be bloated and confused.

“Nevertheless, I would like to thank Elgar for helping me.”

“This is completely lying down to receive me.”

“No, I’m serious. To be honest, I find it a little hard to believe that Elgar gives such a positive review of my having multiple wives.”

“huh… .”

Elgar snorted instead of answering.

I wondered if there was such a moment of awkwardness.

Reluctantly, Elgar opens her mouth.

“I don’t think you’re just a horny woman who likes women, Tae Oh Gospel. There must be political and ambitious reasons why you have multiple wives. It’s common to have multiple wives politically.”

“… … .”

“So, can’t you tell me why? Can’t you tell me the big picture you’re drawing?”

“That’s right.”

“But, even if you don’t say it, I understand roughly. ‘Cause I’m not an idiot Thoras. Belmen. Colossus. Demetri. Orlondo, Squall, Araduna, Velos. catarrh-.”

Elgar started reciting something for a while. I could tell it was the name of something. There were quite a few familiar names such as Orlondo, Squall, and Araduna.

“The names of the ruined families.”

“okay. These are the families that fell with King Angmar and were destroyed. Those who supported the Demon King. You’re probably one of these guys. right?”

Elgar seemed to have independently investigated the fallen families while I was away. Did I study on my own to figure out who I was?

“You must hate the Lioness who destroyed your family or the Draco family. That’s why you’re not using me and Mirna to get revenge.”

I’m pretty close to the answer though.

Could it be that I gave too much information?

It seems like he didn’t expect me to be a survivor of Angmar himself. Maybe someday, Elgar herself will find out before I reveal it.

said Elgar.

“But one thing is certain. The Demon King Angmar was a madman. I set fire to the citadel where people were imprisoned. He was a slayer who loved to hear screams.”

“Have you heard the story?”

“It’s a story I heard from my grandfather. He was someone who didn’t know he was lying. It’s the opposite with you. It is said that the Demon King of Angmar was a maniac who caught people and pierced them with skewers—”

I frowned at the very terrible story.

The story of the demon king’s evil deeds was so famous that I knew a lot about it, so I didn’t even need to hear it.

“Why are you telling me that?”

“It is said that the families that perished after following such a demon king received causality and retribution. If you come here and take revenge, no one will support you.”

“You’re telling me to stop taking revenge.”

“okay. To be honest, even if they died, they were cheap.”

Elgar’s words made sense.

In the first place, I am not a descendant of the real Angmar.

I just happen to be a person who possessed such a person.

After realizing my fate, there are times when I suddenly feel the vengeance that flows through this body’s blood, but the reason I can control it is because my soul has nothing to do with this world.

Yet the reason why I am following my destiny.

It was because I had a feeling that there might be some kind of ‘answer’ at the end of this road. The answer to what I’m going through out of nowhere.

Why am I going through this?

Yes.

I was looking for a reason more than anyone else.

So I understand a little how frustrated Elgar must be, who is longing for a reason.

So these days, I wondered if I could reveal the truth to Elgar too.

When I saw Elgar talking like I hated the Demon King of Angmar earlier, that thought entered my mind.

smart.

Then someone knocked on my room door and I stopped thinking.

-Tao Gospel. do you sleep?

The soft voice is quite familiar. it’s myrna

Elgar looked around and spoke in a quiet voice.

“After all, Mirna is here.”

“Is that so?”

“I came too, but Mirna doesn’t mean not to come. I’ll be hiding here in the closet. Pretend I’m not here okay? If you know I’m here first, you’ll get angry and noisy.”
