Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 43

(EP-43.2) Too Many #4

043 – Too Many Secrets #4

Narmi and I chatted for a while near the balcony.

We mainly talked about the Status Window. I was able to figure out that it was not something anyone could just receive.

“So only warriors that pass a secret esoteric ritual can obtain a System?”

“Yes! That is why only the senior students of the Church receive the blessing... Oh my-!”

After talking for a while, Mirna suddenly trembled. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

“What’s wrong?”

“My sister seems to be slowly waking up! If I get caught doing this, I’ll be in big trouble! I have to hurry back...!”

Narmi hastily explained.

“Please keep it a secret that you met me today, okay? My sister doesn’t like me talking to anyone. She hates it when I do so. Please keep quiet about this...!”

“Oh, if that’s the case, of course I won’t say anything.”

“Really? You’re more of a nice guy than I thought! Anyways, it was nice speaking with you...”

A ‘nice’ guy...

Was it possible to put such an adjective before me? In the past, maybe, but not now at least.

Narmi, the younger one of the twin sisters, seemed like a good and kind person to me.

Should I say that she was pure, without any hints of hypocrisies and lies?

Talking with her made me feel at ease, to the point that I ended up unknowingly chatting about this and that.

... However, unlike Narmi, I was not a nice and kind person. In fact, it would be more accurate to describe me as a poisonous scorpion.

“But, I have conditions.”

“Co-, conditions?”

“Miss Narmi must also keep it a secret from everyone that I was here today, what you saw earlier and everything we talked about. Everything.”

“Ah!”

At this time, Narmi blushed, realizing my meaning. Perhaps it reminded her of what Elga and I did.

“Asking me to keep a secret... Is it about you and Lady Lioness kissing?”

“Have you seen everything that’s happened?”

“No, I haven’t seen anything at all! I only saw you two kissing, but I got so surprised that I closed my eyes...!”

It was a relief that she didn’t see me do something more ‘indecent’ than kissing...

Even so, there was still the danger of being dragged to the guillotine if this was discovered.

Narmi then said.

“It’s love that transcends status.... Like Romeo and Juliet. I’ve seen it a lot in books, but this is actually the first time I’ve seen something like that in real life. I’ll be rooting for you...!”

“You’re cheering me on?”

“Yes, yes!”

If it was Mirna, she might have used this to blackmail and have me at her mercy.

Meanwhile, Narmi would not only keep this a secret, she was even supportive of it?

It was crazy how two sisters who shared the same body could be so polar opposite of each other...

Anyway, I replied in moderation.

“Thank you very much! It’s really not easy being with someone beyond your status... Lady Lioness is the daughter of a great family, while I am a mere commoner that was once a slave...”

This was half acting, half sincere.

The golden ratio of half truth and false.

Right now, I was a lover trying to pursue an impossible love, walking down a path full of thorns.

“A great family.... Hey, I’m a Draco, so maybe I can help!”

“Help?”

“Yes! Like how do the young misses of great families fall in love? What do they like? I might even be able to tell you what kind of gift they would like to receive from a man!”

“Oh, by any chance, does Lady Narmi have a lot of experience in dating? But you’re such a beautiful person, so it makes sense that you would....”

Narmi trembled, as if caught off guard by my question.

“... That, of course! I have more than ten lovers! I have had plenty of experience!”
