Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 266

(EP-266.2) Song #3

266 – Cicada’s Song #3

Reinhardt ignited up like a flame as he understood. However, rather than getting angry, he soon calmed down and sighed.

“... So, you have made your choice. I once felt the same. But, Elganes, youth and love are fleeting. When you’re left alone, as I am, all that remains is practicality.”

“I won’t end up like that.”

As a half-fairy, his life would be long. Even if she passed away first, she believed the man would never leave her. But Reinhardt shook his head.

“No, you will. The man you’re ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) trying to hide... his life is already nearing its end. Even if I don’t use my hands, he won’t last much longer.”

“W-what do you mean...?”

Elga trembled at the shocking revelation. Reinhardt sighed deeply, saying, “Didn’t you know?” before adding an explanation.

“The average person has less than 10% red mana. The Angmar family average is 30%. But how much did the sample you brought have?”

Recalling the test results filled with complex figures, Elga murmured.

“80%...”

“That’s right. Even Solomon himself was said to have only 50% red mana in his body. Any more than that, a mortal body cannot withstand the increasing mana and begins to break down. But 80%...”

Reinhardt stopped himself from saying more.

━80%. It’s amazing he’s survived this long. But eventually, it’s just a matter of time.

He wanted to say that, but instead, he just sighed. It was the least amount of mercy he could show his daughter for making such a foolish choice. After all, he was still her father.

Mem, mem, mem-.

The cicadas’ song buzzed loudly in Reinhardt’s ears. But he was a patient man.

The cicadas’ song was temporary.

Soon, they would lose their strength, fall to the ground, and become nothing but dust. There was no need to take any action.

On a charming teahouse with a terrace adorned with palm trees.

Elga looked even more beautiful than the last time I saw her.

Her proud blonde hair shimmered brighter as if sprinkled with gold dust, and her face was painted with light makeup.

She wore a red dress that clung to her body, accentuating her ample chest in a very seductive way. Who did she doll up like this for?

Could it be... for me? It must be!

A stunning beauty who drew everyone’s attention. The thought of sitting at a table with such a flower, drinking tea, made me feel a swell of pride.

━.......

However, Elga looked uncomfortable. As I wondered why, I remembered that we had a big fight not too long ago.

I didn’t know why Elga called me here.

But I came to apologize for what happened, to make amends for everything up until now, and to express my true feelings to her. To speak honestly without overthinking it.

Like a man.

‘Elga-nim, I’m really sorry for lying. But my feelings for you are genuine. Once everything is resolved, I promise to make you happy without any more tears. Please forgive me.’

I had practiced this countless times.

It might come out a bit differently when I actually said it, but I’d do my best!

Uhum—Clearing my throat, I opened my mouth.

━━─.

But no sound came out.
