Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 336

Srrrk.

Mirna and Narmi drew a pattern with salt around the bed. It was a unique magic circle, unlike the conventional hierarchical magic I knew.

I had no way of understanding its principles or mysteries, but Mirna, being rather kind, took the time to explain things step by step.

“It’s a telepathic formation. An ancient spell that unites people’s thoughts. In our case, it will link us into Queen Tarantera’s mind.”

She stated that this was an advanced application of the technique used when Aira fell into a coma last time.

That said, unlike the hastily drawn formation back then, this one had been meticulously prepared, resulting in a significantly higher quality.

“The imaginary world will feel more real. But that also means it can be more dangerous. The pain will become real, and if someone were to die in the dream...”

Mirna fell silent.

Elga, who hated explanations being left unfinished, interjected.

“What happens if we die? Don’t tell me we’d actually die for real too?”

It was a reasonable concern.

But Mirna chuckled and shook her head.

“You wouldn’t die. But you'll be trapped in the imaginary world for a while—which won't be very pleasant since it’s an extended stay in someone else's mind. Sometimes, personalities can even be ruined by the influence.”

That was pretty scary too...

But I was prepared for this much.

Now, we were about to enter Aira’s dream.

Visiting someone else’s dreamworld...

To be honest, it felt rather surreal.

However, I knew this was possible because I had already experienced it once. The last time I entered Aira’s mind, the witch forest wedding happened.

In the first place, I was in some novel I once read.

I wonder why...

... I now felt a new sense of doubt.

What if the real me was also asleep somewhere and someone was casting a spell to make me experience this strange dream-like world....

Of course, that was a ridiculous thought.

What I was experiencing now was far from an illusory daydream. After all, I had long grown tired of escaping reality.

Just then, Mirna said.

“It would be best if one person stayed outside to keep watch. If this formation is damaged or disrupted, it could be disastrous.”

Our gazes naturally turned to Elga.

“You want me to stay?”

Given Elga's pregnancy, I felt it would be safer for her to remain outside and watch over us, rather than participating in a dangerous operation.

But Narmi shook her head.

“We might need to maintain the formation. And we need someone to keep chanting outside and maintain the spell. Lady Lioness doesn't know how to do it. It might be better if I or my sister stays.”

Mirna let out a light hum in agreement.

“Hmm... That’s true. Lady Lioness is practically useless when it comes to spells or magic. It might be better for her to go along instead.”

However, I was worried.

“She's pregnant... Will it be okay? If it might harm the mother or child, I think we should reconsider.”

Mirna chuckled softly at my words.

“Do you know why this telepathy spell was created?”

“No, I don’t.”

“There’s a story that it was a spell devised by a mother who wanted to talk to the child in her womb. I don't know if it's true, but many mothers in the Draco family have used it.”

‘I see.’

A mother meeting her child in a dream.

It seemed like something that could easily exist in this strange, fairy-tale-like world.

“But, of course, we must be careful. The dream we’re entering isn't a person's fantasy, but Queen Tarantara's nightmare.”

Hearing that, both Elga and I tensed. For a moment, silence fell over us—broken only by the sound of Aira’s steady breathing as she lay on the bed.

Narmi nodded in agreement. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
