Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 120

(EP-120.2) Gentle Prisoner #(Interlude)

120 – Gentle Prisoner #(Interlude)

Some time after Elga became interested in the Status Window.

Feeling exhausted from all the events that had happened today, I was dozing off while stroking Elga’s head.

“Hey, Theo, are you listening to me? You’re not sleeping, are you?”

Elga shook my body, which snapped me out of my half-asleep state, and wiped the drool off my mouth.

“Yes, I’m listening.”

“Oh ok, I thought you were sleeping.”

“.......”

If you knew I was sleeping, then let me sleep....

But those words never saw the light of day. Because if I said this, Elga would probably sulk.

I simply yawned without speaking, while Elga said.

“As you know, I am thinking of sending a letter to my father. A hawk would be better than a pigeon, right? It’s faster.”

“... What letter? What pigeon?”

Hearing my question, Elga lifted her face which was buried in my chest and slightly frowned, before pinching my belly with her hand.

“You weren’t listening to me!”

“... Euk.”

“I knew it! So you didn’t hear me say that I was going to send a messenger pigeon to my father?”

Did she say that?

I couldn’t hear because I was sleeping.

It might be best to just come clean.

“I wasn’t really listening. I was half-asleep.”

“How can you sleep talking to me? Being with me makes you nervous, doesn’t it?”

“No, that’s....”

“It’s all because you’re out of shape. Starting tomorrow, you’ll train with me every morning, alright? We’ll run two laps around Ark!”

‘... Training.’

My vision darkened upon hearing that scary word.

My Half-Fairy body was physically weak, so even a little rush of activity would make me out of breath quickly.

“Anyway, I’m going to send a few messages to my father. There are a lot of things I want to ask and a lot of things to report.”

“Are you going to tell your father about our relationship?”

“No, are you crazy!?”

Elga was furious at my question.

“If my dad finds out about our relationship now, he’ll rip your head off!”

“... Lord Reinhardt will pull my head off my body?”

I imagined the sight of a gigantic man grabbing my head. Considering his dignity and presence, such a scene was easy to picture.

That man could easily twist my neck like opening a soft drink. However, Reinhardt was a refined man.

“Will Lord Reinhardt actually kill me?”

“What do you think would happen if I brought home a random guy as his son-in-law? Of course he’d get angry! Someone who couldn’t fight off sleep because of his weak stamina wouldn’t fit the Lioness Family! When my father sees-.”

“.......”

Presented with hard facts, I had no counter. Then Elga suddenly trembled and added, as if she made a slip of the tongue.

“Of course, that’s what my father would say. I don’t think so, though...”

Then Elga stroked my belly.

It seemed like she was trying to comfort me, but since she had never comforted anyone before, her gestures were very awkward.

“But it is true that you are weak. You should at least be able to win against my father. Otherwise, he will definitely come and kill you!”

“No, Reinhard-nim is currently working as the chancellor of Monarch City. Are you saying he would come all the way here to just rip my head off?”

“That’s right!”

Then who would take care of the country?

I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if Reinhardt, who maintained order by ruling over Angmar, would deploy his troops.

After barely managing to stabilize the [N O V E L I G H T] situation within the country, the thought of causing even greater chaos by touching Elga was dreadful. Thinking so, I calmly said, while cold sweat ran down my back.
