Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 307

[19] (EP-307.1) Fairy Princess #5

307 – Fairy Princess #5

Seuk-.

Stella covered the right side of the half-fairy’s face with her palm.

When the long scar was hidden, the half-fairy’s impression strangely shifted. His face seemed more gentle, even dignified.

‘I feel like I’ve seen this face before.’

It was on the tip of her tongue, yet just out of reach.

But Stella had lived a long life.

She had encountered countless faces, and it would take time to sift through the warehouse of her memories to pinpoint where she’d seen such a face.

‘I can’t remember where....’

But now wasn’t the time to dwell on this.

“Theo-kun, your fever’s still rising. Let me wet a towel and place it on your forehead.”

Sshhh.

Though the water in her canteen had been saved for drinking, Stella didn’t hesitate to pour a generous amount to soak the towel.

Plop.

As soon as the cold, wet cloth touched his forehead, the deep ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) furrow in the half-fairy’s brow seemed to ease slightly.

“Ugh...”

“You’re burning up so suddenly.”

Stella had a hunch that this fever wasn’t simply from getting in the stream.

Nymphs were naturally attuned to water, so they wouldn’t catch a cold just by falling into the water. The same would go for a half-fairy.

Perhaps all the fatigue and injuries the half-fairy had accumulated were finally catching up to him.

Since the start of this journey, he’d used dangerous magic repeatedly. They’d been through non-stop battles, with barely a moment to relax from the constant threats to their lives.

Now that the tension had finally lifted after their dip in the stream, it seemed like his body was letting go of everything it had been suppressing, releasing it all at once in the form of this burning fever.

‘It’s not surprising, given everything he’s been through.’

He was a strange one.

He volunteered to be the minion of the young Queen whom people feared, making him the target of everyone’s hatred.

He was constantly challenging the impossible.

And sometimes, sticking his neck out for others, ready to risk his life, as if he had more than one to spare.

Stella had, after all, benefited from his meddling.

When she heard that he had taken the initiative to solve the problems of the Draco family, she thought, ‘Maybe he can help me.’

And indeed, he had solved the troubles of the Bellhawk family. Even when faced with the great hero Opal’s name, he didn’t even flinch and risked himself.

‘Could I have done the same?’

No, probably not.

That was not courage—it was recklessness.

‘Then why could this guy be so reckless?’

He fought not only Opal but also the giant centipede Angala. If it really was the immortal Angala, he wouldn’t have had enough lives even if he had several.

‘... Does he like me?’

A story from long ago came to mind.
