Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 220

(EP-220.1) #3

220 – Great Escape #3

I wanted to find the official entrance, but I couldn’t find it.

Pang, papang-Hearing the sound of fireworks going off and the people’s cheers, the voting might have already begun. I decided it was best to enter the stadium and see for myself.

━Don’t cut in-.

━Hey, don’t push!

I struggled to squeeze my way through the lines of people.

The massive stadium, capable of accommodating 10,000 people, was packed. Thanks to this, I only managed to find a spot in a corner on the upper level, barely able to stand and see the stage.

The space was bathed in bright light.

There, I saw a familiar face.

She, dressed in white like a lily with her black hair cascading beautifully, was speaking to the people.

Aira’s expression reflected on something like a large billboard was serene, while the faces of those gazing at her seemed somewhat fervent.

━So, I tend to have a light breakfast. Fasting can enhance a person’s concentration.

━Thank you for that. It’s really fortunate to have learned of Aira-nim’s excellent magic skills. And now, a question for Serazade-nim.

It was like a show program.

One of the most remarkable aspects was how calmly Aira spoke among the crowd, maintaining her composure.

Even when Serazade, who she regarded as an enemy, started talking beside her, her expression didn’t change and there was even a faint smile on her face.

She already looked like a winner.

Aira remained unruffled and confidently ruled amidst the cheers and fervor of many. She was no different than a true Queen of July.

Rebellions everywhere.

Being labeled as a tyrant.

Even the ruthless edge of the cold guillotine would no longer chain Aira’s ankles.

Just a few months ago, who would have thought Aira harbored such potential? Perhaps it would have been deemed unbelievable. It was a completely out of line thought.

A [N O V E L I G H T] dream.

Was it a dream?

Suddenly.

I began to wonder if I hadn’t woken up from the dream yet. If so, whose dream was this?

Seeing the spectacle I wanted to see, I doubted whether this was merely my mind presenting a favorable dream.

━So, Aira-nim. As we approach the final voting, could you give us some final words? It could be a dream or an aspiration.

━Dream-.

In response to the host’s question, Aira glanced around then quietly raised a finger.

━.......

She seemed to have chosen silence instead of opening her mouth.

Seureureuk-.

Soon, she put her hands together-.

━What, what is she trying to do?

━I don’t know. I can’t hear what she’s saying. Or am I the only one who can’t hear her?

━No, she’s not saying anything. She’s trying to do something.

Just as the attention of the crowd was focused.
