Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 67

[19] (EP-67.2) Shadows Cast #3

067 – Shadows Looming Ark #3

I decided to change the subject.

“Then, what will the Lady do about the task? If you’re not feeling well, shouldn’t you just rest?”

“Task.... Is it the lecture on Dead Language?”

“Yes, it is.”

“If that’s the case, I have to go. It’s my task as the Draco Family’s Young Lady.”

“What do you mean? Why is it ‘your task’?”

Mirna got up from bed with the blanket wrapped around her body like a gown. She was certainly in a much better condition than before, though still a bit sluggish.

As Mirna put on her school uniform blouse and skirt, she slowly continued, overcoming her headache.

“Balan, she’s the culprit. She’s robbing the Draco Family’s cemetery and stealing bodies. A criminal who recklessly gives rise to the undead...!”

“Is that true?”

Professor Balan was the culprit? It was an unbelievable story, but Mirna calmly explained.

“She stole my Lich last night. I’m sure of it! I swear in the honor of the Draco Family.... But it’s okay even if you don’t believe it. Anyway, I’ll take care of this myself....”

“No, if the professor is like that, wouldn’t it be better to let others know? People are spreading the rumor that Lady Draco has gone mad and is running around wildly.”

“Unfortunately, there is no solid evidence right now. And, if I make a lot of noise, it might just scare the thief away. There’s only one reason why she hasn’t fled yet....”

“Why is that?”

“She’s definitely aiming for my body. That ƅitch wants to use this Mirna Draco’s living body to make an undead!”

‘Manipulating living people into undead?’

I wondered in my head whether that was possible. But in a world where magic and things like witchcraft existed, where would the limit lie?

In the first place, I was not even from this world, yet how did I get here?

“It’s hard to believe, I know. Hah, the Draco Family seems to be cursed with betrayal and lies. Well, it’s not something I expect you to believe anyway.”

Mirna Draco smiled self-deprecatingly. Her current appearance resembled that of Narmi guarding the cemetery alone at night.

Remembering Narmi, who had become my friend in a way, I calmly said to Mirna.

“No, I believe you.”

“.......”

Mirna stayed silent.

Maybe it was because her fever hadn’t fully gone down yet or for some other reason, but her face started turning very red.

I then continued.

“Shall we ask Queen Aira for help? I think she’ll be able to aid us if we tell her.”

“I have no desire to be indebted to Queen Tarantera. If you want to do so, that’s up to you.”

‘I see.’

Anyway, they lived in the same dorm, for single digit rankers. So I walked out the hallway and knocked on Queen Aira’s door.

The door clicked open and I could see Queen Aira lying languidly on the bed.

“My Queen, I’m sorry, but can you lend me your strength?”

“No.”

“.......”

“It’s a joke. So what’s going on?”

Then, I explained the situation to Queen Aira, who was half-asleep.
