Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 9

(EP-9.2) Flower Aira #9

009 – Evil Flower Aira #9

━That bastard Tae-oh suddenly changed the law and made it impossible to beat slaves. I can’t even discipline the darned thing with my whip anymore!

━I know, right?

━This slave rights bullshit. They could even file a complaint to the Government Office? Ah, just... Fuck off! That is not even a slave anymore. Also, what type of slave needs to be paid minimum wage?

━Now this is really crossing the line. Was giving them leftovers not enough? Minimum wage, really?

Ah. It seemed that the slave owners were dissatisfied with the enactment of the Minimum Slave Rights Act that I had implemented a few months ago.

There was an episode in which the abused slaves united to revolt and caused a great amount of damage to the Kingdom. Hence, the Minimium Slave Rights Act was created to stop such a thing from happening again somehow.

━I can't even fuck my female slave. Like, what? Slave sensitivity? I'm so mad that I can't even speak. Tae-oh, that guy. Is it because he is the Queen's slave, that he is extremely sensitive to slavery?

━That's right. Hey, speaking of, wasn't that Tae-oh bastard originally a slave too? A year or so ago, someone had seen that bastard being sold to the Lioness's.

━Wow, then after he got sold out of slavery, he became the Queen's secret concubine? Life is really weird. Now, slaves can have Human rights. On the subject of slavery—

Gadeudeuk-

I could hear Aira grinding her teeth. She was really holding up well. Was she trying to stay true to what I said before, ‘Don't bother with the gossip about me?'

“They are just blindly cursing you. Tae-oh, you are not my slave. I never thought of you that way.”

Gooo, gwareureu- Gwareureureu- Dolkong- dolkong-

The surrounding objects began to react to Aira's ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) anger. The windows creaked, as the well-placed dishes fell to the floor, shattering and scattering all over.

Seuk-

With her palm on the table, Aira gently lifted her index finger.

Gwaooo- Dolkong- This made the shaking more intense.

This was the preparatory stage for the Rank 7 magic, Earthquake.

If this continued, the ground would really shake and everything would be buried in the soil.

━What is this, an earthquake? Why is the building shaking? Am I the only one who is feeling this? I haven't even had a drink yet.

━I guess the time has come for the country to collapse. Now, stop nagging and have a drink.

━Alright, give me a drink.

No, if you thought that an earthquake was going to happen, you should run away, you idiots...

If the situation stayed like this, the building might really collapse and a catastrophe would occur. By then, Aira, who had tasted massacre, might awaken her slaughterer tendencies.

So I had to say something and prevent Aira from going any further.

"You, over there—"

━Hey, over there, stop it. Your loud voices are disturbing the other guests!

Someone interrupted the group that was gossiping about me. Thanks to that, Aira's finger, which had been slightly lifted from the table, stopped.

━Oh, Sophie. Were our voices that loud?

━Yes, it was loud. It was so loud that the tavern was shaking!

━ No, that wasn't because of us. It was an earthquake.

━Also, Tae-oh saved me. I don't know where or what he did back then, but don't curse my savior.

━Well, if anyone has that kind of power, isn't it natural to be kind to your subordinates?

━Noisy! Do such people beat slaves?
