Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 184

(EP-184.1) And Take #3

184 – Give and Take #3

I’d had quite a few guests in my room.

Elga often barged in here as if it were her own, and Mirna and Professor Stella Bellhawk had also visited.

While their sudden visits in the past surprised me, there had never been a time when my heart sunk more than today.

“Theo, I asked where you went and why are you only back now. You’re well aware that I don’t like repeating myself.”

Queen Aira was sitting on my bed, with her legs crossed.

It was almost as if she owned the room while I was the unexpected guest, coming without warning.

... This was still my room, right?

I looked around in a panic, but seeing my belongings filling every corner, this was undeniably my personal space. Realizing this fact, Calm Thinking was triggered.

“Queen Aira, I was out fulfilling my duties. So, what brings Aira-nim here? If you had informed me in advance, I could have tidied up the room to your liking.”

My room was relatively clean since I was not around much and only slept here.

However, there might be some questionable items that Elga had brought in or that Aira might find unacceptable.

─Fairy Eyes-!

I focused the senses on my eyes and carefully scanned every inch of the room. Fortunately, there were no Elga’s underwear or awkward items left behind, like some stockings.

Thank god!

Breathing a sigh of relief, I spoke up again.

“The room was locked, you must have struggled quite a bit to get in.”

I pretended to congratulate Aira for her hard work, while secretly criticizing her for unlocking my door and barging in. Unfortunately, Aira didn’t seem to catch on.

“There is no lock that I cannot open. So, Theo, what did you talk about with that girl, Serazade?”

“.......”

She actually went straight to the point.

I began to wonder if Aira had attached a spider to my body. Otherwise, how could she have known that I had met with Serazade.

“You knew?”

“I am a wise Queen. A wise queen knows everything happening in the world. So, Theo, did Serazade play tricks on you?”

“It wasn’t like that. She just wanted to hear about the future in exchange for something called ‘stalaktos dew’ .”

Mumbling.

I laid out everything lest Aira would misunderstand. Hearing the story, Aira seemed relieved, saying, “So it wasn’t a big deal.”

And seeing this, I was surprised. This was the first time something like this had happened.

Had Aira ever reacted like this with Mirna or Elga?

“Serazade, that woman, is like a snake. It would be wise to be cautious, she might bite your ankle and sink her fangs. So, is that all you’ve discussed with Serazade?”

At Aira’s question, I recalled Serazade expressing her desire to grow taller and asking if I had any intention of going to Tureuki’s court.
