Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 62

(EP-62.2) Mansion #2

062 – Haunted Mansion #2

I learned many things from Mirna.

Such as...

How to walk like a noble.

How to speak and breathe like a noble. I even learned how to blink and swallow saliva like a noble.

“Do I really have to do this? Swallowing saliva like a noble...”

“When you raise an objection, raise it like a noble, commoner.”

“.......”

I wondered if it was really necessary to do this, but Mirna seemed eager to reassemble me from start to finish, and turn me into a brand new person. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

“It’s never too late to learn. You’re good for a slave. Working at the court seems to be quite helpful.”

“... Thank you.”

I was able to quickly follow her lead. There was nothing I couldn’t do as long as it felt like I was ‘acting’ as an aristocrat.

As time passed, darkness fell on the world.

I thought there was still time before sun down?

This mansion was located on the outskirts of a cemetery-filled neighborhood. Through the windows, the twilight cast long shadows on the eerie tombstones.

“Go to bed, commoner. I’ll allow you to stay in one of the guest rooms.”

“It’s fine, if I go now, I’ll be able to reach Ark. There’s no need for you to-“

“No.”

Mirna’s attitude was firm.

“Sleep here.”

“.......”

Despite not knowing whether to call it hospitality or force, I had no choice but to nod my head without saying a word.

And it wasn’t long before I had to admit that Mirna’s proposal was right.

━Wooooo woooooo-.

As Mirna guided me to the guest room, it was already dark outside the window.

There were no streetlights or torches, so it was really dark, to the point of not being able to see even an inch ahead. If I had left the mansion earlier, I would have walked in that darkness.

Even if I could now use magic, it was still a tall order to walk alone in the cemetery at night without any source of light.

Click, click.

Upon checking the locks and padlocks installed in the guest room, Mirna then said to me.

“There are many dangerous things that go about the mansion at night. There is nothing in particular that could harm you as a guest. Still, it would be better not to wander around.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“And by any chance, don’t come near the far left corner of the mansion’s third floor. EVER.”

The far left corner of the mansion’s 3rd floor?

I nodded, taking notes in my head.

“Yes, I’ll never go near it!”

“Never approach or open the door. EVER. It’ll be locked anyway. But even if it’s not, don’t open it.”

“Yes, I’ll do so!”

What was her reason for being so strict?

Still, Mirna’s words did not end there.

“Another person might knock on your door. But never open nor answer it. Understood?”

“... May I ask why?”

“At 8 PM every night, I go into a ban and ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) fast. I have no reason to go to a commoner’s room, much less speak.”

I still didn’t understand. Nevertheless...

“Alright, I will make sure to lock the door and not answer anyone.”

“Make sure to keep that in mind. Once I go into adage and fasting, there would be no one talking to you. Pay attention to this.”

With that, Mirna Draco left the guest room.

Kieeeeik, bang.
