Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 19

(EP-19.2) How A Sheep Lives #4

019 – How A Sheep Lives In A Lion's Den #4

I was blown away by Elga's words.

No, even a child knew that was not common sense. You had someone kiss you for a candy, and you didn’t even like them?

But then I noticed something. Despite saying it so casually, Elga seemed to be restless.

She was actually happy to receive my confession, but she had to refuse it because of her pride!

I was really annoyed. But for some reason, I also felt that this girl had become a little, only a little bit, cuter... _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

Upon this realization, I reined in my control.

There was no way I would fall in love with Elga just ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ because she had a pretty face. Instead, she was the one who had the hots for me right now!

Whoo-

I held my breath and pretended to be very sad.

To fool and deceive.

Wasn’t that what I did best?

“I thought of Elga-nim every day. This is... really heartbreaking. I thought we liked each other. Something like love that transcends status... I thought it would be possible...”

"Really? Well, then, I'm sorry. Eum... After all, there's no way a love beyond status is possible... This is not a fairy tale or a novel. Eum...."

Elga scratched her nose.

Her feet were constantly rubbing the ground. Thanks to this, the soil got dug out and a small pit was created.

Paseuk, paseuk, paseuk-

I couldn’t notice it because I was taken aback by the earlier rejection, however, Elga was the type of person who'd get anxious whenever she lied.

I smiled on the inside and let out a small sigh. Then, I said as if making up my mind.

“It is very sad, but as Elga-nim said, our statuses are simply too different. I don't think Elga-nim will like me if I'm not good enough for her...”

“Ye, yeah...”

"Well, I can at least put my mind to rest... In fact, thank you for such a swift refusal. Now, I can really give up and focus on working for the good of the kingdom!"

"... You're giving up?"

"Indeed. I'm going to give up on my feelings!"

"Hey, didn't you say you like me? You're just giving up so easily!?”

This time, Elga became angry at me.

This damn bitch. What did you want me to do? Fortunately, I was not really in love and could think.

If it had been Theo, a man who really liked Elga, how much anxiety would he have felt at Elga's attitude?

Was this the pain of men who had their feelings played with?

It was a very nymphophobic pain!

Thinking about this made me really furious.

However, without showing anything on the surface, I asked Elga as if I knew nothing.

“I have no choice but to give up, don't I? You have built a very high wall....”

“Hey, Theo, don't you know the saying that there's no axe that breaks in just 10 strikes?”

What saying?

And why were you talking about axes? I wasn’t planning to cut a tree.
