Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 73

(EP-73.2) Aftermath #2

073 – Clean Up and Aftermath #2

“What’s so funny?”

“No, I am Mirna, the Young Lady of the Draco Family. Commoner, what are you doing right now?”

“Are you trying to insult me?”

Mirna said it as if she was angry, but her expression also had some calmness.

The gloominess that had filled her face was no longer there.

In fact, Mirna was the one who got devastated the most today.

The bodies that the Draco Family kept in their family cemetery were stolen, and her Lich father, Aleister Draco, was sacrificed. One way or another, she lost her strongest force.

Now, she was the only left of the Draco Family.

To be precise, only the sisters remained.

I couldn’t help but think of Mirna eating alone and spending her days in solitude inside that dark mansion, without her father to protect her anymore.

It felt pitiful...

And so, I tried to comfort her.

“Your father, Lord Aleister’s circumstance was unfortunate.”

“... Isn’t the world amazing? There is actually a day when I could hear such comfort again.”

“Again?”

When I asked my question, Mirna shook her head.

Her ruby-red eyes looked at Aira, who was dozing on the sofa in the bright room.

“The Queen of Tarantera also told me those words. The fact that my father’s outcome was a pity.”

“Ah.”

“To be honest, it was unexpected. The Queen who had been associated with all kinds of negative adjectives like ‘cruel’, ‘fierce’, ‘indifferent’, ‘arrogant’, was comforting me....”

Hearing that, I also felt a bit surprised.

This was because Aira’s thoughts would only revolve around herself. I thought she would do nothing to comfort other people’s pain.

Maybe... Aira saw her former self in Mirna?

After all, Aira lost her family one after another and eventually became the last one left, alone in the world. In this aspect, Aira could empathize with Mirna more than anyone else. _{freёwebnovel.com}

“And, I was surprised by you too, Theo Gospel.”

“Me?”

Mirna’s words took me out of my mind. When I turned my head, Mirna, who was looking up at the sky, was making eye contact with me before I knew it.

Because we were similar in height, my eyes and hers were positioned just right.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect much from you. But today, I have no choice but to admit that you have ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) helped me a lot.”

“Ah.”

“You persuaded Lady Lioness for me. And even entered Gamigin’s dark fortress.”

Mirna seemed to be expressing her gratitude for what happened today.

“Your magic skills are even better than I expected. Especially when it comes to spells, they are no less than high-ranking Mages.”

“I was just doing the right thing.”

“Of course, it is only natural for a commoner like you to help a blue-blooded noble Lady like me. Still, I am a person who knows how to bow my head. I would like to thank you. Take it as an honor.”

“.......”

... She was thanking me while saying that it was an honor to be thanked by her?

One might think that she was a tough woman, but looking at her now, her face was visibly red as she tried putting up with shame.
