Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 22

(EP-22.2) Angmar #2

022 – Peaceful Angmar #2

People almost went crazy at the sight. The image of them frothing at the mouth while holding their torches up and down made a terrifying atmosphere...

“Burn! Burn!”

“Throw her into the flames!”

The fake nun, whose identity was exposed to be an Imp, shouted.

“Wh, what’s wrong with being an Imp!? I, Marmar, didn’t do anything wrong! Rather, I do volunteer work, help people and give legal advice-.”

“Silence, you devil!”

“Arr, Garr, Imp, burn the Imp!”

“Raise the stakes, set it on fire!”

The Imp was a demon.

They were Angmar’s pawns and were a rare race like the Nymphs. However, now that the Demon King was subjugated, Imps could be said to be in danger of extinction.

At least, that was how it was portrayed in the ‘Villain Hunter’ novel.

A mischievous being with the appearance of a young girl.

Most of them were Mages of the Demon King’s army, so the fear and hatred of Imps was still deeply ingrained in people’s minds.

Looking at the current situation, that seemed to be the case.

The Imp nun then shouted like it was unfair.

“What is the difference between me and a Nymph? It is politically wrong to be discriminated against just for having a tail! Meanwhile, the Nymphs have a relief foundation to protect themselves!”

“Hey, how can you and a Nymph be the same!?”

At the cry of someone, the Imp fiercely retorted.

“Then, what’s the difference between me and a Nymph?”

“Um. Ummm....”

The man who claimed that Imps and Nymphs were different put his hand on his chin. He pondered for a while, then cautiously said.

“... The difference between an Imp and a Nymph, um... Nymphs don’t have tails.”

“Is that it?”

People then echoed.

“That’s right! Nymphs have no tails!”

“Yeah, Imps have tails!”

So, was there no difference between an Imp and a Nymph other than the tail?

As I was organizing the new information, the captured Imp shook her head helplessly.

“Ugh, it’s useless to say anything to you idiots...”

“Hey, this bitch called us idiots! This is absolutely unacceptable! I, Orkos, chairman of the Slave Owners’ Rights Advocacy Committee, propose that we burn this wicked Imp at the stake!”

“Agree!”

“Agree!”

Before I knew it, the Imp was already hung on something similar to a cross, with a lot of firewood placed underneath. If this continued, she might really be burned to death right in front of our eyes.

“Hmmm, it’s the first time I’ve seen an Imp. It’s also my first time seeing an Imp burn.”

Even Aira was showing a lot of interest.

What if, after Aira saw the Imp burn, she became fascinated with arson and turned into a mad Queen that burned entire cities down?

This might end with Aira going to the guillotine!

Deciding to stop this situation somehow, I approached the people who were stacking firewood.

“What crime did that Imp commit?”

“Can’t you see? She’s got a tail! This is a huge sin! The tails of the Imps are symbols of evil. It is a sin just by having it!”

“So, are you saying that being born as an Imp is a sin in itself?”

“You are quick-witted, brother. And remember how she called us idiots? Absolutely unacceptable! She can burn in hell!”

Wow, ‘burn in hell’ huh? Anyway, I continued asking.

“Death by burning is a very serious sentence. Can you just impose it so arbitrarily? Shouldn’t you at least ask the judges or advisors of the Kingdom for their opinion?”
