Taming The Villainesses

“Why did you call me on a Sunday evening?”

Later in the night, after walking with Aira.

I called Elga to the park behind the Platinum dormitory. Elga, like usual, only wore a sweatshirt and dolphin pants paired with slippers in bare feet.

It’d seemed like she didn’t know why I asked for her.

Thus, I said to Elga, who was spitting on the flower bed.

“I heard you had a talk with Queen Aira?”

“What?”

“I heard you said you wanted to marry me.”

Upon hearing this, Elga’s initially nonchalant “What?” turned contorted in an instant.

“… Ai, tsk. Aira told you? Well, it’s not exactly a secret. But the fact that it has already reached your ears is surprising. Aira, she really can’t keep her mouth shut… Can’t have secrets between people these days…”

Elga grunted, saying Aira had a big mouth. However, for me, the one with the loose lips seemed to be Elga herself.

“Elga-nim, how can you just stir things up like this? Please also consider my position.”

“What do you mean I’m stirring things up? Is there a reason why Aira shouldn’t hear about our relationship?”

“… Well, not really.”

“It’s all for you. Starting tomorrow, I’ll stick to you. That’ll make that Mirna jealous.”

“Jealous?”

“Yes! If I stick to you and do various things to make her upset, she’ll think she can’t let herself lose and would try to make more moves with you.”

“Hmm.”

“Before that, I also notified Aira in advance to avoid any problems.”

Elga’s confidence was enviable. Life would have been a little easier if I had that in me.

Her words also made sense.

She had a point, but-.

I needed to firmly hold onto Elga’s reins. If things just happened so suddenly, I might go bald from all the stress.

“Still, you can’t act so recklessly without consulting me.”

“Whatever What are you gonna do about it?”

“I will punish Elga-nim. You do realize that the contract regarding the collar around your neck is still valid, right?”

“…….”

Elga looked at me with that ‘you little brat’ expression. I was sure the collar around her neck felt quite prominent at that moment.

Honestly, I didn’t even want to mention the word ‘punishment’ since the incident.

Recalling how Elga panicked and cried back then still made me dizzy.

But if Elga continued like this, I really would have no other choice.

“If you’re curious about what kind of punishment it is, we would just keep doing ‘the thing’.”

I was going to spank your ąss, hard!

“… Hmph.”

Elga snorted, as if she was saying, “Fine, do what you will.” But, compared to usual, she seemed a bit less confident.

For now, she’d probably stay quiet for a while.

“So, what happened today? I heard Aira was attacked?”

Elga tried to shift the topic of the conversation. This gal, as soon as the spotlight was on her, she would simply start deflecting. Still, I decided to let it slide for now.

“Yes, that did happen. But she forgave the deed like it wasn’t a big deal.”

“It’s interesting that you say that. I find it hard to believe that Aira let it pass after being attacked.”

“In her own words, ‘no one was hurt or bled’.”

“Huh… So it’s true. Lately, she’s been acting quite strange. You’ve noticed too, right? You should know better than anyone.”

Elga had a fairly close relationship with Aira, and it seemed that she noticed the change of her cousin.

“Think about it. The current Aira and the former Aira. Who would even think they’re the same person? They’re like completely different individuals!”

“Perhaps Ark’s education is effective.”

“Yeah, right… Other than the Tea Time lecture, she hardly attends anything.”

Well, it was not like Elga would be any different compared to Aira. For them, Ark was just a place that let them play around as students.

In other words, this was all a big excuse to do whatever they wanted without any royal binding.

In the end, I was the only one who was genuinely listening to the lectures.

But looking at it in retrospect, even Elga was relatively well-behaved compared to back then.

Aira’s new attitude even made Elga take notice, which went to show how things had changed.

Elga said with shock.

“To be honest, I thought it was impossible.”

“What do you mean?”

“Aira is becoming more relaxed. And I’ve known her since we were young. Even Father probably never thought Aira would be this composed.”

The mention of the word ‘father’ made me briefly think of Reinhardt’s face. He had the loudest laugh out of everyone when I said I would enroll the Queen to Ark.

Didn’t he compare the act to educating a typhoon?

What kind of reaction would he have now if he saw Aira?

Would he belatedly acknowledge that my opinion was correct?

Just then, Elga let out a short exclamation, “Ah!”

Elga then unzipped her sweatshirt, revealing her ample bosom and skin beneath the bright streetlight.

Chulreong.

Though covered by pretty lingerie, her huge breasts were still quite stimulating. Blushing, I quickly scanned the surroundings. I couldn’t afford anyone seeing this scene.

“Elga-nim, what are you doing right now? We’re outdoors…!”

“What are you talking about? I’m giving this to you.”

Seureuk.

She then retrieved something between her deep cleavage and handed it over. It was a letter sealed with a roaring lion.

A letter from the Lioness Family.

There was only one person who could send such a letter to Elga.

“A letter from Lord Reinhardt?”

“Yes, I finally got a reply. I haven’t opened it yet. Let’s read it together.”

“If it’s a reply-.”

I recalled that Elga had recently sent a letter to her father. This was the response.

Perhaps what was written here-.

“It could be about Isaiah Angmar!”
