Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 159

(EP-159.2) Squad #2

159 – Villain’s Squad #2

True to her reputation as an assassin, Kalira was quick with the information.

I continued asking.

“Then, did she mention who would fight in the trial by combat?”

“No, there was no talk of that. Perhaps the person involved, the Hunter, will participate in the duel. But I don’t understand. Why aren’t they cutting ties with such a party member?”

The attack on the Queen was the decision of the protagonist, the Hunter.

However, Miriam and the other party members were defending him, even taking the punishment with him if necessary.

Gain and loss. To Kalira, who had lived in such a dichotomy, Miriam’s attitude seemed incomprehensible.

Of course, I understood why they had such a close-knit relationship since I had read the original novel. But instead of explaining all the details, I just broadly glossed over it.

“Well, everyone has their own circumstances. I’ll be on my way now. It’s already time to leave, rest well.”

“Yes, until next time, Theo-nim. Let’s have dinner together sometime, and you’re welcome to bring that adorable Imp.”

“Okay, let’s set a date soon.”

Gi-ik, tak.

After saying our goodbyes, I closed the door. By now, the sun had completely set, and the dimming sky signaled my growing fatigue. Managing subordinates wasn’t an easy task.

However, delegating tasks to each of them and overseeing their work was much more efficient and effective than doing everything alone.

That was the reality.

I realized that being someone in a high position wasn’t easy. If I ever ascended to the throne, what kind of ruler would I be?

The First Half-Nymph King?

━Everyone bow...!

Honestly, that would be funny.

Returning to my dorm room, I washed up and laid down on the comfortable bed. In the dimly lit room, I found myself not wanting to do anything.

I just wished I could rest for a day.

Just a day off would be nice.

But as I mentioned earlier, I didn’t have the luxury of time. I needed to improve my magic and conquer the Ladies as quickly as possible.

“What am I even doing here?”

I got up and looked out of the window. The Gold Rank dormitory was located in a relatively scenic spot, offering a beautiful view of Ark’s night scenery.

The street lights, the straight road, and the people passing [N O V E L I G H T] by.

I didn’t know their names or faces, but they each had their own circumstances. They were striving to live their own lives.

Ultimately, they probably couldn’t fathom that the world they lived in was from a novel.

That was right.

This world was originally a novel. A world of imagination in my head made up of words, spaces, and multiple pages.
