Taming The Villainesses-Novel

(EP-133.2) Exam Time #1

133 – Imps And Exam Time #1

I remembered Narmi saying something like, “My sister is acting suspicious lately. She keeps sneaking out at night. Is there another man besides you, Theo?”

Since the sisters shared one body, it wasn’t easy to make moves.

As I was thinking about the difficulties of meeting Mirna, Mirna looked around then she grabbed my hand, seemingly understanding my silence.

Mirna’s hand, which slipped into mine, was warm and soft.

“But even so, you mustn’t look at others, okay?”

“Others?”

“While we’re not officially married, that doesn’t mean you can go running around with other women.”

“Ah-.”

“And aren’t you a bit too close to Lady Lioness these days? I know you promised to workout every morning, but….”

It seemed that Mirna didn’t quite like the fact that I met and exercised with Elga every morning.

In fact, besides today, she had subtly asked a few times like, “What did you do while you were with Lady Lioness?” or “While working out, you’re not too close to each other, are you?”

Seeing her directly asking today seemed that it’d been really bothering her.

“As I said before, I just work out with Lady Lioness.”

Sometimes, when the atmosphere becomes ambiguous, we would also do other exercises in a narrow corner of the park. But there was no need to mention that yet.

“Don’t worry. Don’t you know better than anyone that I cherish Mirna-nim? I am a devoted man!”

“I know that…”

Mirna nodded with a resigned feeling. However, it still seemed that she didn’t quite like the idea of me exercising with Elga.

Seeing that she couldn’t bring herself to say, “don’t do it,” I could sense that her thoughts were somewhat complicated.

Perhaps she was thinking that if she got too strict, it’d show that she didn’t trust me, or she was afraid that I would hate her because she was a narrow-minded woman?

Well, since Calm Thinking didn’t activate, I could only vaguely guess that there must be more complex reasons at play.

I thought I should intervene before Mirna got caught up into a grim line of thought.

“Doesn’t Mirna-nim also talk to men?”

“Me, talking to men? What are you talking about?”

“Just recently, during Professor Balan’s Ancient Dead Language class. You were talking to other men.”

“Isn’t that unavoidable since it’s a group discussion?”

Mirna retorted, defending herself. She probably felt it was unjust. And, in truth, I knew very well that she didn’t talk much with other men.

She was also very cold towards them.

“But still, it seemed like those men had feelings for Mirna-nim. You even received a teacup as a gift from one.”

Mirna was beautiful and she wore that with pride.

Pretty women naturally attracted attention and gained popularity among men. Because of that, Mirna often received gifts.

Even I occasionally received letters from female students as of late.

However, Mina furrowed her brows as if she had a lot to say.

“I broke it in front of your eyes. Why are you suddenly talking about this? By any chance, Theo Gospel, do you not trust me…?”

“Of course not. I believe in Mirna-nim. That’s why I’m asking Mirna-nim to believe in me as much as I believe in Mirna-nim.”

“Heueung….”

Mirna seemed at a loss for words, unwilling but unable to say anything. I sincerely believed in her. I trusted Mirna. In fact, Mina acted exactly how I expected she would.

However, the problem was that Theo Gospel couldn’t live up to the image that Mirna believed in.

If I got caught, then I would really die…. To stop her from turning, it was my best bet to impregnate her as soon as possible.

It was just that it was hard to find an opportunity to do so.

With Elga, I could create a romantic atmosphere and she would fall for it. If all else failed, I could also just activate《Abyssal Eyes》.

But with Mina, I still couldn’t figure it out.

I thought our relationship would progress smoothly with a tainted innocence, in a sense of recklessness and indulgence. But Mirna was more pious than I thought.

Was there any weakness that could loosen Mirna’s guard?

Should I get closer to Narmi?

I felt like I needed to navigate through a tightrope between the two.

Whenever I thought of the Draco’s sisters, I always found myself in deep contemplation.

It felt like it was so close, yet so far.

But one day, I would put a neck choker on Lady Draco’s neck just like Elga’s. It would symbolize my conquest and domination.

Seureuk, seureuk.

I fiddled with the neck choker I had in my pocket.

It would suit Mirna very well~.

Meanwhile, Mirna made me an offer without knowing my thoughts.

“We can’t have dinner together, but we can go for a walk. We at least got that much time.”

“Okay.”

With that, we walked along the dimly lit walk path.

Our conversations mainly revolved around matters of faith and the type of bedtime prayers. Honestly, it wasn’t a fun topic for me.

“That’s why praying for a spouse is important. If you pray for the kind of spouse you want, the Creator will—”

Mirna suddenly stopped as her red eyes gazed at a large placard hung between the trees along the promenade.

「Guarantee the rights of little devils-! Ark authorities must guarantee a nap time for little devils-!」

「The Gwangyeom Church should implement a little devil quota system, employing a certain percentage of little devils in each organization-!」

Seeing this, Mirna said.

“It seems that little devils have been gathering and causing trouble in a few places, writing such large letters and shouting.”

‘Little devils?’

“By little devils, are you talking about Imps?”

Marmar’s face flashed in my mind.

Marmar had mentioned gathering her fellow little devils. Seeing something like this, it seemed like she had succeeded.

A gathering of Imps like Marmar to create a dreamland, where interesting and whimsical stories flow like the river.

Right after the walk with Mirna, I headed to the townhouse「Fairy Paradise」where Marmar lived.

And there I found Marmar. But contrary to expectations, Marmar was scouring the floor with a broom, looking very haggard.

However, I couldn’t just approach Marmar recklessly because the atmosphere of「Fairy Paradise」was completely different from what I knew.

The building that Marmar had beautifully decorated with flowers and trees had transformed into a ghastly place with dead crows impaled on branches or skeletons hanging everywhere.

… What happened?

“Marmar, what is going on? Did you open a haunted house?”

“Co, comrade…!”

Marmar was startled when she saw me. Then she quickly looked around, as if she was afraid of being caught by someone.
