Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 147

(EP-147.2) #7

147 – Pincer #7

As I remained silent, Elga added a few more words as if trying to defend herself.

“Believe me! This is truly the fastest way! Would you be able to touch Mirna’s thighs if not in this extreme way?”

Elga seemed convinced that creating turmoil and chaos was the best method to conquer Mirna.

When I thought about it, there really wasn’t any other way to progress my relationship with Mirna without resorting to such extreme measures.

The only other option would be to reveal that I was Solomon’s grandson.

But that carried an enormous risk.

“... Do you not like my help?”

Elga seemed to be examining my expression. Looking back now, I suppose this was Elga’s way of assisting me.

“To be honest, I’m shocked. In the future, I hope you consult with me first before pulling such big schemes.”

“Hmph, whatever... Did you consult me before you started flirting with Mirna!?”

I found myself speechless once again.

Dealing with women was never an easy task.

I felt like I now understood why the past Angmar Kings had such short lifespans. If events like ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) today’s were to explode among the wives, they wouldn’t be able to live a moment of peace.

And if there were many children, it would be dreadful if they all vied for the throne.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」

No.... I hoped this was just a lie.

I lightly shook my head to dispel the characters floating before my eyes. Then, I looked towards Elga, who appeared to be sulking.

“Nevertheless, I would like to thank Elga-nim for helping me.”

“... Oh hoh, what a strange turn of things. You’re totally bowing down to me.”

“No, I’m serious. Honestly, I find it hard to believe that you are positively considering the idea of me having multiple wives.”

“Hmph....”

Elga snorted instead of answering.

Then there was an awkward air that seemed to linger for a moment.

Finally, Elga spoke with a somewhat reluctant tone.

“I don’t think you’re simply a lecher who likes women, Theo Gospel. I believe you have political and ambitious reasons to have multiple wives. Having several wives for political gains is quite common.”

“.......”

“So, you still can’t reveal your reasons? You can’t tell me about the grand picture you’re painting?”

“That’s right.”

“However, even if you don’t say it, I already have a rough understanding. I’m not a fool. Toras. Belmen. Colossus. Demetri. Olondo, Skull, Araduna, Velos. Katar-.”

Elga started muttering something. I could tell that they were names of something, with a few familiar ones such as Olondo, Skull, and Araduna.

“These are the names of the fallen houses.”

“Yes, they were the families that fell and perished along with the Angrmar King. They are those who supported the Demon King. You’re probably from one of these guys, right?”
