Taming The Villainesses-Chapter 93.2

(EP-93.2) My Home #4

093 – My Warm Home #4

My soul was placed inside a body from someone in a completely different world.

You could even say that I was a ghost possessing some victim.

In terms of rarity and severity of circumstance, was I not more of an oddity than anything else?

If my identity got revealed, Mirna might pry open my head to see what was inside. Even she would think that I was a weirdo.

Thinking about this, I realized just how much courage it took to tell others your secret.

Mirna really opened her heart this time…

Now, if it were me, what answer would I want to hear?

At this moment, Mirna came back to the table with her hand mirror and sat down. Hmmm- she cleared her throat, probably to calm her agitated mind.

“Pardon that embarrassing display, commoner.”

“No, it’s okay.”

“So, as you can see, my sister and I are a little different from others. I’m not necessarily asking you to understand. It’s just-.”

Mirna suddenly stopped talking. She slowly closed her eyes and just remained silent.

As I glanced away, Narmi simply gave me a shrug in the long mirror.

You wanted me to just guess here?

This was hard…

Did meetings always go like this?

I wracked my head in figuring out how to convince Mirna.

Mirna was a faithful believer, so leading with a religious topic could work.

“Lady Mirna, have you heard of providence?”

“Providence?”

Mirna gradually revealed her ruby eyes. Now that I’d got her attention, I calmly continued.

“Everything in this world has a reason and a purpose. I think there’s also a reason why you sisters are born special.”

“Are you saying that it is God’s will? What do you think the reason is?”

“I don’t know. At this stage, I simply do not know. It’s like an ant being unable to understand the existence of an elephant. How can I, a mere mortal, understand a higher being? But-.”

‘But.’

I paused for a moment.

To give it some timing.

Purposeful gaps could help set the tempo and flow of a conversation.

“But what?”

Mirna was also keen on my story.

Maybe it was because she had good faith, like how she always prayed before meals, or how much she liked religious discussions.

“But, there are two of you, so I’m sure that it won’t take you long to find the answer together. Oftentimes, the lies are complex, while the truth is simple.”

“Lies are complex, while the truth is simple…”

“That’s right.”

“Hmm-.”

After giving it some thought, Mirna suddenly said.

“Theo Gospel, I didn’t expect such words to come out of your mouth. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you praying or worshipping.”

“… I was doing so at the church.”

Fortunately, the Gwangyeom Church had similar doctrines to the church I attended. Plus, what I said to her was also what I told myself, so there was a degree of sincerity.

After all, I truly believed there was a will and a reason for every thing, event and cause.

I had no doubts that there would be a reason and a purpose for everything I was going through.

It was my job to find it. Maybe it would take a lifetime, I couldn’t know. But those with a purpose would never lose their way!

“… You get a passing grade, Theo Gospel. It was sloppy, but I felt the sincerity.”

With that, Mirna finished her meal and downed her red wine. She then said while wiping her lips with a handkerchief.

“Then, shall we go out for a walk and talk about each other’s beliefs?”

Talking about beliefs? I didn’t want to talk about that…

“…….”

I then saw Narmi smiling and giving me a thumbs up. It seemed that I did well.

The evening breeze in the mansion’s garden was quite chilly.

Though, the flowers in full bloom over the graves looked stunning under the moonlight.

The back garden of the mansion, which was the Draco Family graveyard, was now full of beautiful flowers, shovels and seeds. It now looked like a garden that was being cultivated.

Of course, it wasn’t perfect, but it looked much better than when it was just all tombs.

In fact, I felt very relieved knowing that Narmi no longer needed to guard the grave every night and could instead enjoy taking care of a flower garden.

“You seem busy cultivating the garden.”

“Yes. But by the same time next year, it will bloom incomparably prettier than it is now. So, I have to take good care of this place from now on. This is just the beginning.”

“Will the Draco Family also start blooming once more?”

Hearing my question, Mirna suddenly stopped walking. I wondered if I said something wrong and awkwardly started scratching the back of my head.

“I know how difficult it is to revive a family alone. Let’s do our best.”

I was also in the same position as hers, needing to revive the Angmar Family by myself. Knowing that it was not an easy road, I could understand Mirna’s feelings. Meanwhile, Mirna giggled at my words.

“Let’s do our best… Are you proposing to me right now?”

“Hmm….”

It wasn’t really my intention, but I guessed that was what it sounded like. Turning my gaze around, I coincidentally met Mirna crimson jewels.

Mirna was also looking back at me. Perhaps it was because of the wine she drank at dinner earlier, but her cheeks were a little flushed.

“Theo Gospel, now that I think about it, you and I are exactly the same height. Our eyes are on the same level. It’s like looking in a mirror.”

“Ah, that’s true.”

“Theo Gospel, you said that everything happens for a reason. So, do you think that God has a will by making us the same height?”

Mirna asked.

I could tell that somewhere, she wanted to see me too perplexed to answer. So I counterattacked with something of my own.

“Isn’t it to make it easier to kiss each other?”

“What-?”

I could see Mirna turning embarrassed.

Her flushed face turned redder and she started fidgeting, not knowing what to do.

“… You only think of frivolous things, Theo Gospel. I’m disappointed. It’s insulting!”

A pious noble girl blushing under the moonlight surrounded by blooming flowers. Ain’t this quite a romantic atmosphere?

Narmi said she wanted to have her first kiss in this setting. Was it the same for her sister, Mirna?

With that thought in mind, I began to unknowingly approach Mirna like I was possessed by something.

Mirna couldn’t react.

My hand lightly gripped her waist, and before I knew it, I went in for the kill.

“What, eup-”

Mirna wanted to say something, but I blocked her soft lips with mine.
