Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 97

(EP-97.2) Pet #4

097 – Master and Pet #4

“That.... I can’t reveal. It could endanger me.”

“.......”

Elga quickly understood. There was usually a common reason for the fall of noble families, rebellion and treason.

Descendants of the rebel family would be severely punished or killed, so if it was revealed that Theo Gospel was a descendant of a fallen noble family, he’d have pitchforks pointing at him.

When faced with that, you’d naturally want to hide it.

However, it didn’t really matter what family Theo Gospel was from in Elga’s opinion. After all, he was probably just from a low-ranking noble family that was far inferior to the Lioness Family.

What was important was that Theo was a noble of ‘blue blood’.

This restored some of Elga’s self-esteem.

Because the man she was clinging to was an unknown orphan and slave, Elga always felt a sense of shame every day. ‘Even if he’s a slave, if he’s from a noble family, then–.’ With this revelation, you could say that she found tranquility within her emotions.

For this fella was, indeed, a descendant of a noble.

Elga suppressed her desire to rejoice, and instead asked solemnly, making it seemed like her anger had not yet subsided.

“Perchance, did the Lioness destroy your family?”

Perhaps because of Elga’s sharp question, but Theo vaguely glanced to the side.

“Well, you can say that...”

“So you deliberately approached our family? You enthralled the people in the slave market to grab my attention, didn’t you?”

Theo raised his brow in confusion.

“The slave market...? Ah, yes, that’s right. As expected of Elga-nim, always full of wisdom.”

“So you approached the Lioness to avenge your family?”

“That’s-.”

Theo kept his mouth shut.

But Elga knew very well that the time when she needed to be the most careful about Theo was not when he was talking, but when he stayed silent and thoughtful.

Who knew what ideas brew inside his head, and what kind of words he’d spit out with his nimble tongue.

So Elga decided to take the lead.

“But isn’t it your family’s fault that you got destroyed in the end? You were probably with the Angmar’s. Like the Draco Family, you’re doomed for following a foolish king.”

Elga thought that Theo Gospel’s family had something to do with the Demon King Angmar. The similarity between Theo’s ability and ‘clairvoyance’ could be attributed to this.

After all, Demon King Angmar had the ability of clairvoyance, able to see through the future and truth.

Thus, it wouldn’t be surprising if he gave similar boons to his followers.

At this time, Elga felt a chill.

It was as if a cold blade was pointed on her chin.

Without realizing it, the traitor’s blade was so close to her neck.

On one hand, Elga couldn’t attribute that same little Half-Elf to this tenacious and willful Theo Gospel, who pushed her to this extent.

You could call it a brave and ambitious act.

This ambition was akin to bright [N O V E L I G H T] flames which engulfed Elga, before finally setting the Angmar Kingdom and the entire continent ablaze-.

For Elga, it was satisfying because her belief was that a man must be ambitious.

But why was he revealing this now?

“So why are you telling me now? To punish you for being a traitor? Because you approached me with malicious intent?”

“No. I want to show to Elga-nim my sincerity.”

“... Sincerity?”

“Initially, there may have been impure thoughts. But not anymore.”
