Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 340

A dark and gloomy hall.

Torches flickered on both sides of the red carpet, casting eerie shadows. Beyond them, swords and spears stood embedded like a wall of sharp thorns.

And at the center was a throne.

Seated upon it was a woman dressed in black. One leg crossed over the other, her chin resting on her hand, her eyes closed in thought.

Like a black rose blooming amidst a bed of blades.

A true flower of evil—

Every cell in my body screamed that this was the Aira of this world. Was this Aira Von Tarantera before she met me?

Ssuk-.

Her black eyes looked like they're going to open, so Mirna and I hurriedly lowered our heads. But we could still see her reflection in the polished marble floor.

Then, her lips parted, and a single word was spoken.

“Leave.”

Her cold, decisive voice echoed through the hall. The sheer rejection and disdain carried in that word felt almost like a spell, striking directly at the heart.

A voice so frigid it could extinguish a love a thousand years strong...

While Mirna and I were taken aback, Elga merely shrugged as if she had expected this.

“You’re in quite the foul mood. Had a bad dream? You only ever make that tragic heroine face when you’ve had one.”

To speak so casually with this thorn-covered queen... Elga’s courage was truly impressive.

As expected, there's no one better as the queen’s cousin.

Perhaps her words had some effect, as Aira’s reflection on the marble floor trembled slightly.

“... A dream. You’re right. I had a long, long dream. But this time, it was different. A rather amusing, dull, and drowsy dream.”

“Amusing? Then why are you so angry?”

“So, Elga, why did you come here? Get to the point.”

Srrng.

A sword embedded beside the throne floated into the air. If things went south, she’d definitely throw that towards Elga. The current Aira I knew wouldn’t do something like that.

It seemed Aira, like Elga, has no memories. Lost in this vivid dream, she truly believed she was the queen who once ruled the throne with fear years ago.

At that moment, Elga spread her hands open.

“It's almost your birthday. So I brought you a present. These guys. They'll keep you entertained.”

Suk.

Elga gave us a push on the waist. However, Mirna hesitated, seemingly stiffened by Aira’s coldness.

“You fear me. Why is that?”

Aira’s eyes narrowed.

Feeling the need to do something, I stepped forward and bowed.

“My name is Theo Gospel, Aira-nim.”

“Theo Gospel. An orphan.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“There are many orphans in the kingdom. Is that why? Your name sounds familiar. So, Theo, what can you do?”

“Anything to please the Queen.”

“Hmph, I’ve seen plenty of flatterers like you. Do you know what became of them?”

“Their tongues were cut, or their eyes were gouged out. But Aira-nim should know that I’m different from those nobodies.”

“Hmm..., You know well. Then lift your head.”
