Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 259

(EP-259.1) #1

259 – Fight Fire With Fire #1

Elga quietly listened to my story.

Then, after hearing everything, she started to get really angry.

“Don’t be ridiculous! What kind of plan is that!? What quarter-nymphs or whatever...!?”

“......”

She was yelling so loudly that it seemed like flames would burst from her mouth. Her hair even stood on end.

━Kukuku-!

━Jijipae-!

Thanks to her outburst, the carrier pigeons in many cages flapped their wings even more.

It was hot, the birds were flapping, feathers were flying, Elga was screaming... I felt like I was going to faint. But I managed to hold onto my wits.

Elga spoke.

“Have the daughters of the great families bear children? What kind of plan is that? Are you insane...!? What kind of revenge is that? Are you out of your mind...!?”

Elga shot down my carefully devised revenge plan, calling it insane. Calling me crazy seemed a bit much, didn’t it? I felt a surge of anger, I couldn’t just let her say that.

“It’s an excellent plan. And it’s well underway, with already a quarter of the way done. Elga-nim, you’re a part # Nоvеlight # of it.”

“Grrrr—!”

Elga clenched her fists tightly, as if she didn’t know how to release her anger. But clenching her fists or growling couldn’t change what had already happened.

“I feel like an idiot for falling for such a stupid plan!”

“Depending on your perspective, you could see it that way.”

“Shut up!”

“......”

Sensing that any further excuses or retorts might earn me a smack from those hard gauntlets, I decided to keep my mouth shut. And the timing wasn’t that bad either.

Thud, thud, giiiik-.

Likely having heard our commotion, some maids, carrying lanterns, came up the tower and checked.

“There was a loud noise. Is there any problem? Elga-nim and Sir Gospel?”

Their sudden arrival frightened me. If Elga decided to turn me in, it would cause a massive uproar.

“... It’s nothing. Just go back.”

But Elga just waved them away, as if trying to calm herself. This meant she had no immediate intention of turning me in, which was good news for me.

Only after the maids had completely left did I speak with joy.

“I thought you were going to report me. You didn’t. So, can I take this as you’ll cooperate with me, Elga-nim?”

Crumple-.

Elga frowned at my question.

“Ha...? What cooperate? It’s more like a postponement. Depending on what you do next, I’ll still turn you over to the guards. Keep that in mind.”

“If you do that, you won’t avoid facing repercussions yourself, Elga-nim.”

“... I’ll figure that out later. It’s none of your concern, so don’t worry about it. But speaking of which, let me ask you something.”

“What is it?”

Elga’s expression was calmer than before. The serious and solemn atmosphere made me decide to respond sincerely as well.

“What do you want to ask?”

“The recent incidents. Like what Opal did. Are you involved in any of that? Are you plotting something?”

“Are you asking if I’ve gone mad, building an evil empire, leading demons to massacre people, and becoming the reincarnation of the Demon King Solomon to kill everyone?”

“Yes.”

Scratch scratch-.

“... It’s different hearing it from your mouth, I guess.” _{freēwebnovel.com}
