Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 13

[19] (EP-13.2) Does A Sheep Dream Of Freedom? #1

013 – Does A Sheep Dream Of Freedom? #1

At some point, my thoughts came to a conclusion that went something like this.

If this world was really like the novel.

Then I should never be swayed by the original story.

Tae-oh Gospel was a character who would get executed in the end. The same went for Aira.

If I only followed the events in the novel, it was clear that we would eventually face the guillotine. It would become an unavoidable fate.

If so, what should be done to avoid it?

It was simple.

I just had to do something that the ‘Tae-oh Gospel' in the novel would never do. And my thought ended up with this.

Give up some of what I had.

Tae-oh, that greedy fucker, would never do such a thing.

“... What?"

Aira couldn't seem to believe my request.

Seureureuk- She pulled me up from the bed while still hugging me.

“Tae-oh, what did you just say?” _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

In response to that question, I spoke more clearly this time.

“I, Tae-oh Gospel, will step down from my position as a Court Gardener.”

“.......”

Seuk-

Aira pushed me off her body. As a result, we sat face to face on the bed and just looked at each other.

Aira's expression was flat. I couldn't tell what she was thinking. Then, she frowned slightly.

“Tae-oh, you know what it means to quit your job at the court, right?”

“I know.”

“What are you going to do after leaving the court?”

“Now, that's—”

As I tried to explain, Aira suddenly interjected half a beat faster.

“Don't tell me you're going back to Elga and the Lioness Family? I knew you and Elga would occasionally meet and talk behind the scenes.”

Goooo-

Aira's hair stood upright. At the same time, everything in the house began to shake.

Well placed books on the shelves and kitchen wares like bowls started falling, the latter breaking into fragments.

Finally, these words came out of Aira's mouth.

“Did she seduce you? Did she trick you into starting a rebellion? I know that the Lioness Family has long ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) been dissatisfied.”

This was going in a dangerous direction.

“Yeah, it’s probably the Lioness's who killed my brothers and sisters. Cowards!”

If Aira turned hostile to a backer like the Lioness Family, she would suffer fatal losses.

And no matter how powerful Aira was as a Magician, Elga was also a strong knight that could rival her.

If the two clashed, Aira would inevitably get injured. Seeing such an opportunity, there was no way the hyenas waiting in the side wouldn't take advantage of it.

But I knew that Aira would react like this.

It was, at least, within my expectation.

“This has nothing to do with Elga Lioness. I swear by the name of the Queen, this is my own dogmatic decision.”

“Your decision? Tae-oh, Tae-oh Gospel? Okay, let's say it is your own decision. But what can you do without me?”

"That's—"

“What can you do without me!?”

Damnit, let me talk! Holy fuck!!
