Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 100

(EP-100.1) Eye #1

100 – Piercing Eye #1

It would be great if Elga, Mirna and Aira could coexist in harmony.

Strictly speaking, it was best for them to live in peace and not cause problems.

In that sense, seeing the three of them amicably drinking tea at one table was relieving to see.

“.......”

However, I couldn’t help but be nervous.

Elga and Mirna were silent, continuing to drink their tea as if nothing changed. And it was only Aira who acknowledged my arrival.

“We were just talking about you, Theo. I’ve heard some interesting stories. But it would be better if I could hear them from you directly.”

Apparently, Aira had heard some troublesome stuff from Mirna and Elga, and was hoping that I could explain them. However, there were too many things to pinpoint.

Did Elga say something to Aira?

Or maybe Mirna?

They’d got a lot of cards they could’ve played.

However, as the Queen’s confidant, I shouldn’t be fazed by this. So after a brief check on Elga’s and Mirna’s expressions, I turned to Aira as if there was nothing wrong.

“What does the Queen want to know? I’ll use all my knowledge to answer.”

“As you should~.”

Aira took a sip from her tea, before gazing at me with her dark eyes.

She didn’t look at me in a specific way, just with her usual calm and normal demeanor. However, for some reason, it felt like I was stripped naked before her.

I felt cold wind piercing into my bones and chills running through my spine.

‘Magic...’

My intuition, a Mage’s instinct, was screaming that Aira just scanned me.

Then Aira said.

“Sure enough, Theo. I can see that you now have some magic power within you.”

“Magic Power?”

“Yes, I heard from these two that you fought a Witch, no? They said that you used spells and played an active part in the subjugation.”

“Ah-.”

Only then did I understand what Aira meant. So, it seemed that she heard from Elga and Mirna about the time I defeated Professor Balan.

I lowered my head and regained some composure.

“I just got my test result today, and it says that I have reached Rank 3.”

“Theo’s skills have been improving by the day since coming to Ark. As your Queen, I am pleased. As expected of the man I’ve chosen.”

Aira nodded her head like a proud parent. From the looks of it, it appeared that there was no need for me to explain. It was then that Aira added.

“I have an important announcement. Theo, with your improved skills, I have decided to confer you a Noble Title.”
