Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 185

(EP-185.2) Own place #1

185 – Each in their own place #1

Under the parasol shielding her from the warm sunlight, Mirna unfolded her fan, partially covering her face.

“It has been a while, Sir Theo... Well, I’ve been doing just fine. I also wanted to talk with you, so this is perfect.”

Saying that, she held out the handle of the parasol to me.

“Would you like to take a stroll and chat a bit? Of course, that’s only if Sir Theo has time. You must be very busy, right?”

Behind the blue feather fan, Mirna’s expression seemed somewhat anxious. She also appeared tired, lacking energy, as if she had spent the past few days restless in the blistering heat.

Seuk.

I received the parasol that Mirna gave.

“Even if I am, I should make time for a conversation with Mirna-nim, no?”

“... Is that so?”

Mirna’s expression brightened a little.

She even smiled as if she was relieved, but she soon switched to a pompous and sullen expression, as if everything before was just a lie.

“Well then, escort me~.”

“Shall we go to a nearby pond? The park is probably crowded with people right now. I know a quiet place.”

“Let’s go there then.”

And so, I led Mirna to said pond. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

“Sir Theo, it says no entry here?”

A wooden sign was stuck like a stake between the trees.

「No Entry – Trespassers will be held responsible!」

I forcefully pulled it out and casually propped it up on a nearby tree.

“Not anymore.”

“.......”

Mirna looked around suspiciously, then sighed.

She then grabbed onto my hand. I expected it to be soft, but it was surprisingly rough.

Now that I saw it, she was wrapped up in some band-aid.

“How did this happen?”

“I don’t know. But the road is very rough, isn’t it?”

Mirna walked precariously, not being used to unpaved dirt roads. Her expression was filled with apparent dissatisfaction, questioning why I guided her to such a place.

“Aht, that stings.”

Mirna flinched, as she was covered in cocklebur thorns looking like a chestnut.

Seukseuk.

Mirna asked, removing the thorns that were attached to her body.

“Is this really the right place?”

“Yes, we’re almost there.”

As I spoke, a small pond came into view. The pond was surrounded by round stones, and its surface, reflecting the dazzling sunlight, shimmered beautifully like a rainbow.
