Taming The Villainesses-Chapter 7.2

(EP-7.2) Flower Aira #7

007 – Evil Flower Aira #7

━Serves that bastard right! He’s nothing but a low-level civil servant, yet boasts and acts as if he is the sky. I knew this would happen someday!

━Something was definitely fishy about a Rank 9 Tax Collection Officer saying that he knew a Court Official! Look, what did I tell you?

━Speaking of which, the fox is now gone, but the tiger came… Is he really Tae-oh Gospel? Why did he come to such a shabby place?

━He must have come to catch impersonators. There are many liars here…

I strongly felt the people’s eyes scrutinizing me from top to bottom.

There wouldn’t be anything good if I continued to stay here like this.

I reached out to the waitress, who was lying on the floor.

“Heu, heuiii-”

However, as the waitress girl seemed afraid of my hand, I stopped and just talked to her.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, yes…. But, did you really save me just now?”

A doubtful expression appeared on the waitress’s face. I then heard from the surrounding people.

━She’s a virgin. Tae-oh must be aiming for the waitress’ virginity. Otherwise, there is no way he would do such a good thing, right?

━Then, this might be what Tae-oh had been aiming for?

━Now that you mentioned it, maybe it is. If this continues, the waitress’s innocence may be soiled by Tae-oh!

What the fuck, what nonsense were you all saying?

“Heu, heueueu-”

Hearing the numerous people talking around her, the waitress was on the verge of tears. So, I straightened up and shouted.

“If you find more people impersonating the Royal Family or other high-ranking Officials, please report them immediately!”

I ended with that.

There was nothing more to say. If I spent too much time here, bad rumors about me might pop up. So, I just pushed open the tavern’s door and walked out.

Would what happened here today spread as a good story?

Nah. It would probably be about Tae-oh Gospel asking for the virginity of a waitress. This was what would appear on the news, thanks to those bastard reporters.

As I was putting on my hood and thinking about suppressing the press…

“Court Gardener!”

Someone suddenly called me. I turned around and saw a luxurious carriage led by two black, demonic-looking horses on the street.

From the engraved Spider Seal, it should be the carriage sent by the Royal Palace.

The coachman in black said.

“Tae-oh-nim, the Queen is urgently looking for you.”

“How did you know I was here?”

“There are many eyes and ears in Her Majesty’s city. Anyways, please get on the carriage.”

* * *

I hurriedly headed to Queen Aira’s private quarter.

Today, I said that I would take a leave of absence, and Aira also approved of it.

Nevertheless, there must be an important reason why she suddenly summoned me this evening.

Knock, knock-

“Your Majesty, this is Tae-oh. Tae-oh Gospel has arrived.”

I knocked on the gold painted oak door and waited. Soon, I heard some movements inside before a voice called out, “Come in.”

After checking over my look one last time, I entered the room.

Unlike the tavern, the Queen’s private quarter was an artistic hall-like space with a red carpet and various Italian-style furniture, as well as a gorgeous chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

In this space full of beautiful artworks, I soon found the supreme being and bowed my head.

“Your Majesty, did you call? Why did you suddenly summon me at such a late hour?”

“It’s important. Very important and urgent work. Otherwise, would I have called for you, interrupting your first vacation in three months?”

“Yes, I suppose so.”

I bowed once again and tactfully looked around. It had been some time since I entered the Queen’s bedroom, but little had changed.

There didn’t seem to be any type of emergency.

As I was thinking about what was possibly going on, Queen Aira said, without hiding anything.

“In that sense, Tae-oh, I will entrust you with a very important task. Much more important than the Barbarian subjugation mission I had Elga doing—”

Was there anything more serious than subjugating the Barbarians?

What immediately came to my mind was the Commander of the wall that blocked the Northern Rift. She wasn’t asking me to go to that hellish mountainous place, was she?

No. Aira wouldn’t keep me that far away.

Then were we going together?

After Aira complicatedly shook her head back and forth, she said.

“Tomorrow, I’m going to go out to town. I don’t know which stocking to wear. Tae-oh, you have to decide. Please choose between these two.”

Aira pulled out some soft things from the closet. They were see-through black fishnet stockings.

They both had the same color and also looked the same…

“Come on, Tae-oh. Carefully pick one, it’s important!”

This was the important thing?

Did she just summon me, from my vacation, just because of this? Well, for Aira, it could be important.

Her common sense was strange.

Sometimes a cat’s life was more valuable than a human’s. There were also times when the color of tomorrow’s stockings was more important than an expedition to subjugate Barbarians.

In fact, wasn’t most of Aira’s actions caused by the defect of her common sense?

By the way, Elga would probably grind her teeth in anger if she heard that choosing stockings was more important than subjugating the Barbarians…

Seueuk-

I looked at the black fishnet stockings.

Same color. Same shape. I even thought they were the same size. Although it was a waste of time, I must decide.

During my first month, I learned that there were various types of black; such as ivory black, lamp black, mas black, vine black, nymph black, etc.!

But these two… No matter how I looked at them, I couldn’t tell the difference.

This was the biggest crisis of my life…

Fuck… Come on, what was the difference?

I felt my armpits sweating. But, I knew what to say at times like this.

“As expected of Queen Aira. You have a great eye for color. To me, they just both look black.”

“There is nothing for you to be ashamed of. I’m great at telling the difference between the two.”

I said towards Aira, “Yes. Indeed, you are amazing.” I concluded appropriately.

It seemed terrible, but the point was that there was no malice in these words.

“Ja. Well then, I have decided to wear this.”

Aira picked out one of the same-looking stockings. If she was just going to choose that, why even called for me? Then, the reason quickly came to my mind.

There was a hint in her words.

“No, wait. You’re going out to town?”

“No, seeing you has changed my mind. I’m going now. So, can you change this for me?”
