Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 153

(EP-153.1) Aspect #6

153 – New Aspect #6

Elga took pride in her hard-fought life.

Even though others labeled her as a disgrace of the Lioness Family and a spoiled brat, those words were mostly whispered by cowardly individuals behind her back.

Cowards like Mirna Draco.

Their insinuations couldn’t even leave a scratch on Elga’s pride anyway.

She took pride in having grown up from a young age on the battlefield, covered in blood and mud, fighting valiantly against the kingdom’s enemies.

To think that she was the daughter of a traitor?

In truth, when she heard about the involvement of her father and the man named Isaiah, Elga didn’t believe it. It was probably just a misunderstanding.

But now, reading this letter, it turned out to be unmistakably true and that they indeed hid the fallen royalty!

「He was destined to be King. That’s what we believed.」

Written in a familiar handwriting was a horrifying tale. Elga’s father, Reinhardt, not only concealed the fallen prince but had even entertained the idea of making him king.

In a way, he was an accomplice. It was treason!

If Elga’s insane cousin were to read this letter, who knew what might happen. So, Elga tore the letter she had just finished reading into tiny pieces. She shredded it so finely that not a single word remained.

At that moment, the Half-Fairy who had been reading the letter with her spoke up.

“Elga-nim.”

Suddenly, Elga thought that he might be trying to blame herself for what had just happened.

━You traitor’s daughter...! Hiding all this time under such a guise...! The Lioness Family is now finished. Your possessions will be confiscated...! You will be my slave...!

Of course, he wouldn’t say such things out loud...

But would it be so surprising if something like that were to happen?

That was why Elga wanted to cut off the man before he could say anything.

“What, you’re trying to say something weird again!”

“No, it’s not weird. According to what’s written here, Isaiah is said to have gone missing. It also states that Isaiah wasn’t exactly fond of women, so there’s a possibility that he doesn’t even have a descendant in the first place.”

“... That, why is that?”

“But if there truly exists one in the world, what will Elga-nim do if you find out?”

“In case I find out-.”

Elga was not stupid.

She could see why this man was asking her such a question.

This man is the closest aide to the Queen, working diligently to uphold the current Tarantera Royal Family.

As a man who occupied such a position, he was trying to test her loyalty right now. You could say he was validating her thoughts.

So, Elga responded as if it were the most obvious thing.

“Of course I would kill them!”

“Kill...?”

The Half-Fairy looked astonished. Suspecting that her initial response might have been too bland, Elga fervently defended herself.

“Not just kill, I’ll burn them to cinders...!”

“Burn to cinders...?”

The man’s reaction to Elga’s response grew increasingly odd. It seemed as though he was apprehensive or even somewhat scared.
