Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 146

146 – Pincer #6

She could frankly say it.

Mirna didn’t like Elga.

She had only seen Elga once at the Angmar Palace’s grand ball during her early childhood.

─The Lioness of the Golden Army is here-! Everyone, bow your heads-!

Elga was shouting as if commanding servants, which annoyed Mirna. She frowned at the sight, finding Elga’s behavior akin to an arrogant little kitten splashed with cold water.

Did Lady Lioness know?

The fact that while some praised Elga Von Lioness as the legendary Lioness of Borgia, there were others behind her back who ridiculed her as an inept kitten.

Well, she couldn’t answer that.

—Lady Lioness is rough and loud. On the other hand, Mirna-nim is elegant and graceful.

When people around Mirna praised her while comparing her to Elga, about half of the compliments were genuine, but the other half were mere flattery.

Mirna found it unpleasant to be compared to Elga, who had no understanding of a nobility’s responsibilities and duties, solely because they were both from distinguished houses.

This feeling intensified with age.

When they reunited in Ark, Lady Lioness was like an ignorant young lady. She appeared to have no burdens, enjoying a comfortable life in her father’s sheltered arms like a delicate greenhouse flower.

And that was exactly how she seemed.

It was also true in reality.

“What did you just say?”

Mirna doubted her own ears. However, asking again was also an act of mercy, giving Elga a chance to retrieve the offensive remarks she had just made.

But the clueless Lioness seemed not to understand the situation, continuing to speak with a clear and composed voice.

“You didn’t hear? I said I’m also interested in this guy.”

Saying that, Elga’s eyes turned to the little Half-Fairy. He looked visibly flustered by the situation, shaking uncontrollably.

Mirna felt a sense of discomfort, as if someone had just tainted what belonged to her.

“What nonsense is that? Didn’t you just say it? Theo Gospel is my fiancé!”

“Yeah, I know. But technically, you haven’t gotten married, right? Until it’s legally confirmed, you two are not bound together, right?”

“That’s....”

‘That’s right.’

Indeed, strictly speaking, Mirna and Theo were not legally recognized as a couple. Therefore, whether Elga liked Theo or not was a matter of personal freedom.

Morally, it might be questionable, but legally, there was no issue.

However, that was merely a superficial view.

Mirna and the Half-Fairy were already connected to the very soul.

She had already given him her most precious and valuable purity. In a way, she had already put a substantial investment into the relationship.

As that clueless woman continued to blabber on, Mirna felt her anger boiling inside.

But Mirna was a patient person.

Wasn’t this dumb Lioness just deliberately trying to provoke her?

Thinking that maybe this was a dirty trick of the Lioness Family to make her slip up, her anger mellowed down a bit.

‘That’s right!’
