Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 320

The woman who emerged from the lamp appeared to be in her early 20s.

She was draped in delicate silk and veil, adorned with jingling treasures and ornaments on her bare hands and feet.

She reminded me of Serazade. But the key differences were her pointed ears and her curvaceous figure.

“... A lamp nymph?”

That seemed to be Narmi’s assessment. As if she had heard the mumbling, the woman floating in the air replied.

━Yes, I am a fairy. A long time ago, I was also called a ditch nymph. But then those vile men sealed me in this lamp... Well, that’s not important.

Seurrr.

The woman’s face turned towards me.

━So, you are the one who has freed me. Everything has a cause, and I assume there is a reason why you went through the complicated process of unsealing me.

It seems she’s asking why I decided to release her. So I said while holding the lamp.

“I want to get out of this place. Would you be able to help us escape, O... great fairy?”

At my attempt at flattery, the fairy let out a languid laugh.

━Child, is that your wish?

“Yes.”

━You don’t want to rule the world? Or perhaps obtain an unimaginable fortune of gold?

“I don’t need those.”

More than that, I don’t think someone who had been stuck in a tiny lamp could grant such grandiose wishes.

Thinking about that, my request suddenly seemed strange. If she couldn’t free herself from the lamp, could she really have a way to get us out of this cave?

Still, the fairy’s attitude remained positive.

━Getting you out of here is simple. However, as long as I’m bound to this lamp, it’s an impossible task. Free me completely.

Free her completely?

I thought the seal had been broken just now, but it seemed that it hadn’t been fully released. As I glanced between the twins, Mirna spoke up.

“Does fulfilling a wish require any kind of price?”

━It did. But I’ll waive it for you. It’s been so long since I’ve tasted the scent of the mortal world, and I’m in a very {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} good mood. Now, hurry and release me from this seal.

The lamp’s fairy was desperate to be freed from her accursed seal.

Well, if it were me, I’d be frantic too, stuck inside a cramped lamp for over a thousand years. I’d be desperate to escape.

So...

Just when I was considering how to undo the seal—

━Now, offer one of you to the lamp. If you do, I will be free. And you too will be free from this cramped cave.

I was startled by the fairy’s words.

“Offer one of us?”

━Exactly as I said. One of you must take my place and be sealed within the lamp, so that I may be free. Now, what will you do?

Faced with this completely unexpected demand, we all fell silent. During that brief moment, the floating fairy began circling around Narmi.

━You, haven’t you always wished to be alone? You wished your sister wasn’t around, didn’t you? That’s why my power responded and split you two into separate bodies.

It was a surprising statement.

Narmi also seemed taken aback as she questioned the fairy swirling around her.
