Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 251

(EP-251.2) Caged #6

251 – Caged Bird #6

Grumbling to herself, Elga had no other choice but to follow the passage Stella showed and escape the mansion. After walking for about 20 minutes, she would reach the outskirts.

“I’m not sure if it’s okay to send her alone.”

As I worried about Elga, Mirna nudged my side. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

“Sir Theo, now is not the time for us to worry about anyone.”

She had a point.

Mirna and I followed Stella Bellhawk, climbing up onto the ceiling. It felt like we were thieves or ninjas crawling through the ventilation shafts above.

Life sure brought a variety of experiences.

“Going down this way will lead us underground. We mustn’t make too much noise.”

There was a steep, challenging slope, but we managed to safely descend to the second basement floor through the vents.

Dalgak, giiiik-.

Opening the door below, a small room appeared. There was a carpet, a chair and a table in what looked like a gap between bricks.

“Feels like a hideout.”

Mirna glanced around and agreed with that assessment. Indeed, it was a place perfectly fitting the term “secret base.” If it weren’t for the circumstances, it might have even felt a bit romantic.

“It’s nice to have at least one private place in the mansion where you don’t have to be bothered by anyone, don’t you think?”

Stella rummaged through a drawer and pulled something out for ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) us. It was clothing.

An all-white outfit with something resembling a gas mask. Like a hazmat, it was cylindrical in shape, with a zipper running straight up the abdomen, and could be worn over the entire body.

“Everyone, put these on. Wearing this will give you access to the third floor. And I have fake IDs prepared, so take one each.”

Thorough, indeed...

I didn’t know when she prepared this, while acting like a fool as an Ark professor. You could say she was competent in her own way.

Seureuk, seureuk-.

Following Professor Stella’s instructions, Mirna and I put on the protective suits over our clothes and zipped them up. Our identities were now the dubious researchers A, B, and C.

“From now on, it’s best to stay quiet. Follow closely.”

Dolgak, tarrrrrreuk-.

We opened the secret brick door. After confirming no one was around, we stepped outside to find cold stone walls reminiscent of a dungeon.

There was no one.

Afterward, we each grabbed a nearby cart and walked down the corridor. Mirna, discovering something filled inside the cart, murmured quietly.

“This, isn’t it lightning turmeric...? It’s been identified as a plant that contaminates the mind, directly prohibited by the church...”

“Miss Mirna. If you’re surprised by each of those things, you might faint when you see downstairs. Just bolden your mind.”

Screek, screek-.

As we rolled the wheels, we soon boarded what could be called a lift. Finally, with the gears starting to creak and turn, we descended to the seemingly nonexistent third floor.

Thunk, thunk, thunk.

After hearing the pulley turn for a while, I could feel a cold, chilly wind blowing through my protective suit.
