Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 5

(EP-5.1) Flower Aira #5

005 – Evil Flower Aira #5

“Ueeek-”

On the flower bed in the Court garden, I emptied out the contents in my stomach.

If someone saw this, they would have said that it was rude of me. Fortunately, the banquet was noisy and there was no one who cared about what I was doing.

I also purposely chose to vomit at a place where there were no people around.

"Waaa, that's unsightly. You just drank and vomited instantly? Even those savages (Barbarians) have more backbone than you.”

Ah- *Surprised*

I almost jumped up in fright, like a cat that saw a cucumber.

I didn't expect that someone would just suddenly talk from behind me.

Surprised, I turned my head back in a hurry and looked at who it was.

I saw Elga, who was wearing a red dress and had her hair tied back, slowly approaching before handing me a handkerchief.

“Here.”

"It's fine. I have my own handkerchief.”

“.......”

Elga's expression crumpled when I turned down her favor.

For a moment, my right eye twitched. I began to suddenly feel pain from the scar on my right eye, probably because it remembered something from the past.

“Just take it. You know I hate having to repeat myself three times. This is already the second time.”

At Elga's constant urging, I was forced to take the handkerchief from her hand.

Elga was being nice to me? Instead of feeling happy, I felt anxious and on edge.

Ah. So this was how other people felt when I, Tae-oh, suddenly tried to do someone a favor. Everyone must have felt this way.

The feeling that ‘this bastard is being nice because he's scheming against me.'

With this notion, it was natural that people wouldn't be comfortable and reject any sort of offer.

But although I understood it in my head, it still felt unpleasant.

I cleaned my mouth at a nearby fountain, then wiped it with the handkerchief.

“I'll be sure to wash this well and return it to you.”

If possible, I did not want to owe anything to Elga. Or should I just say that I didn't want to get involved with her?

Elga was the opposite of me. Whenever I looked at her, I thought of the scary sisters in the back alleys who kept stealing my money when I was young.

“It’s chilly, Tae-oh. Anyways, have you been comfortable while I was away? Did you get promoted? Eung? How's the fort?"

Elga's hand gently ran across the nape of my neck.

Also, her voice did not sound like a heroine who had been commanding the battlefield just now. Rather, it was a soft, even, kind feeling.

But the smell of blood from her hands was undeniable.

At this moment, I widened our distance and avoided her fingers that were targeting my earlobe.

“Things are the same as always. Her Majesty, the wise Queen Aira, is in control of the country. There are no problems and the people are happy.”

“Hey, hey, I didn’t ask you for that. Have you lost your touch because it's been so long? Come, let me help you with that.”

Elga reached out her hand towards me, while I tried to widen the distance between us.

Like Aira, when she reached her coming of age, being three or four years older than me, she treated me like a bread shuttle.

"If there's nothing more, I'll take my leave."

I tried to go around her, to escape this uncomfortable encounter.

“Ugh, Tae-oh. I have been trying to be kind to you with a big heart for a long time. Do you have to insult me like this?”

At this time, Elga's face, which had been maintaining a friendly expression, began to rumble with various emotions.

“Yeah, okay. Well, I guess you are still concerned about the old days."
