Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 333

“Lack of emotion, hmm....”

After listening to my explanation, Mirna kept her words brief.

Sipping tea lightly in her room, she let out several more “Hmm-,” before carefully opening her mouth.

“Narmi, what do you think?”

“Well? I can’t tell just by listening. But, honestly, I’ve felt something similar a few times while talking to her. It’s definitely different from the usual way of thinking.”

“I’ve thought the same. She’s definitely not normal.”

Both Narmi and Mirna concluded that Queen Aira’s state wasn’t normal.

Frankly, even without professional knowledge, anyone who’d known Queen Aira for a long time would come to the same conclusion.

At that moment, Elga, who had been quietly listening, chimed in.

“Still, she’s better than before. Aira used to act entirely on impulse, like she didn’t even think. She’s improved a lot recently.”

Elga had a point.

Before entering Ark, when Aira was ruling as queen in Angmar, her condition was really bad.

“But before even that, Aira used to smile a lot and even play pranks all the time. It’s the world that broke her like this. Her emotions were killed.”

To Elga’s testimony, Mirna muttered softly, “Killed emotions....” Then, she seemed to recall something and added.

“That /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ might be the case. Killing emotions is surprisingly easy. But reviving them is very difficult.”

Mirna proposed a hypothesis.

Perhaps Aira, after experiencing a series of tragedies, had completely shut herself off.

“But be careful. There may be a lot of emotions and memories that she wanted to forget inside that closed lid.”

Mirna’s words reminded me of the time I went inside Aira’s inner world. The memory of her sister’s wedding flashed in my mind.

And the vivid memory of her siblings, bleeding profusely and dying one by one, still lingered faintly in my thoughts.

Those must have been the memories Aira wished to bury deep within her heart.

If Aira’s emotional lid were to be pried open, the sorrow and pain she should have felt would flood back all at once, causing her immense suffering.

Do we have the right to force her to face the emotions she has deliberately avoided? The discussion goes back and forth.

Then, Narmi spoke up.

“Queen Tarantera is strong. She’s far stronger than we think. If she can maintain her sanity even with a terrible monster lurking inside her, it means she must have had an incredibly pure heart to begin with.”

“Like a saint....”

She trailed off.

Her words reminded me of Aira’s status window, which I had sneaked a peek at before. Indeed, one of the jobs listed was “Saintess.”

At the time, I found it puzzling.

But now, I think I understand. _{freēwebnovel.com}

A saintess, huh.

As I was mulling over these thoughts, I noticed the others’ gazes slowly shifting toward me. Their expressions seemed to say that it was up to me to make a decision.

Of course, my answer was already clear.
