Taming The Villainesses-Chapter 110.1

(EP-110.1) Legacy #1

110 – Demon King’s Legacy #1

─Seongeum-ah, your dongsaengs are graduating-.

[T/N: “-ah” is like “-nim” but used to refer to close people or friends, dongsaengs means younger siblings]

The hesitant teacher finally opened his mouth. To which I responded as if I already knew. Google search 𝗳𝙧𝘦𝒆𝑤𝙚𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃ℯ𝑙. 𝐜𝐨𝑚

Because there was only one reason why the eloquent teacher would be stuttering like this.

─I’ll get paid from my part-time job soon. I’ll share some to buy clothes when they enter college.

The teacher stroked his long side-hair in guilt.

─It must be difficult for you to live on your own. I’m sorry for always asking so much of you.

─They will also be adults when they graduate, so this will be the last time. They’ll also get part-time work of their own. Rather, any news about the thing I talked about?

—Ah, that. I got someone. I’m looking into it. In particular, there’s someone who said they’ve met last time….

My heart raced at the positive response. However, contrary to my feelings, the teacher’s expression was not so bright.

─Do you really want to see her? I’ve seen a lot of friends who went to find their mother after becoming adults, and there are many cases of not finding what they’ve been expecting to say the least.

My teacher wasn’t too keen on me finding my mother.

─Sometimes, some things are best left unknown.

But I was dying of curiosity.

Why did she leave me?

And after you left me, where and how were you living now?

So I started tracking the information of the woman, who was perhaps my mother, that left me at the orphanage. Now, it paid off and I was finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

But if we really did meet, what should we talk about?

Would she even see me?

─I don’t know you. Why are you looking for me?

—Honey, who is he?

─I don’t know, he’s been stalking me!

What if I got treated harshly?

No, I still had some slight expectations.

The woman in my memory, a fragment of a very young childhood, was very sweet and warm. She would often stroke my hair with her warm hands.

It was like that that day too.

━Listen to the teachers carefully and wait. I’ll come pick you up soon.

I believed those words and waited.

Until the moment when the back of the woman, which looked very big at the time, disappeared in the distance.

Hoping that she’d turn around and come back for me.

But as time passed, after so many years, she still didn’t show up. Now, I was already an adult.

So I’d go.

I’d go to her myself.

Finally, standing at the door of a store where she was said to be working, I took a deep breath and…, I opened the door.

Dalrang, dalrang-.

The door bells chimed as I made eye contact with a woman.

The woman was very young and had dark hair. She wore a crown on her head and was looking down at me with her proud and arrogant eyes.

─You’re late, Theo.

—Aira-nim?

Why was Aira here? Then when I turned, I saw high columns rising and the floor being covered with a colorful velvet carpet.

Before I knew it, I found myself at Angmar’s Palace.

Seuk-.

Aira, who was sitting on her high throne, rose.

─I’ll punish you for being late.

Aira pinched my cheeks and lifted me up. It hurted!

What was this?

It was then that I realized.

Ah, it was a dream.

Then, in an instant, everything around me began to ripple like water, before popping like a balloon.

* * *

Seuk-.

As I slowly opened my eyes, I could feel someone pulling my cheeks.

All I could see were dark stone walls, decorated with torches. This was no Angmar Palace.

Calmness immediately surged to help clear my thoughts.

Ah right, we got trapped in a secret room underneath the Draco Family’s manor. I must have fallen asleep and had a dream.
