Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 183

(EP-183.2) And Take #2

183 – Give and Take #2

“I’ve already tried such! I’ve had a growth plate massage and tried all sorts of medicines. But even though I’ve been healthy, I haven’t gotten bigger....”

“I see.”

After all, she was a royalty, she probably tried every sensible piece of advice at my level.

In this case, the advice I could offer would be nonsense—spiritual, mystical, and entirely unverified.

But I was a fortune-teller. There were few plausible things I could say.

“How about dating?”

“Dating?”

“Have you ever heard the story of a girl in love becoming an adult? They become prettier and more beautiful.”

“.......”

Perhaps she didn’t like my answer, but Serrazade remained silent. After a brief anxiety, she nodded and said, “Indeed.”

“Yes, this Highness has heard of such a story.”

Well, that was natural. There was a saying that falling in love released endorphins and dopamine, helping maintain physical attractiveness.

Even if it was not specifically for that reason, lovers could find psychological stability, so they exuded vitality in whatever they did, and could grow in various aspects.

...I was not sure if it could affect height, though.

“Anyway, I think that’s all I can say.”

I quickly concluded the talk, fearing that Serazade might come up with a more difficult question. Fortunately, our busy schedules meant the conversation ended here.

As I got up from my seat and opened the door, I suddenly remembered one more thing.

It was said that Solomon’s magic circles were all around Ark, which swarmed the dungeons with giant insects and beasts like ants, wasps, and beetles.

It seemed like there was some kind of growth-enhancing magical circle somewhere.

I contemplated whether I should share this information, but I ultimately decided to keep my mouth shut. Because I wasn’t sure about the influence and effects of Solomon’s magic.

“Then, Serazade-nim. It was an honor to meet you.”

After bowing, I was about to head out into the corridor when she called me, “Theo Gospel.” Wondering if she had more to say, I held back from speaking. And she did.

“Do you have plans in coming to Tureuki’s court? I am generous in return. Whatever Queen Aira offers, I can give you more, Half-Fairy.”

“... That’s-.”

As I was about to respond, Serazade raised her hand.

“You don’t need to answer right away.”

“.......”

“This Highness will be here for a week, you have time until then. Consider it seriously after the trial or once all your current responsibilities are resolved.”

Walking out into the street, I felt relaxed.

There was a refreshing sense of relief, not just mentally but also physically. Like my body had been reborn.
