Taming The Villainesses

(EP-168.2) Night #9

168 – Day and Night #9

“The only one in my eyes right now is Narmi-nim.”

The Half-Fairy said so. In that moment, Narmi’s mind began to show things from the distant past.

Narmi Von Draco.

She grew up full of affection.

Back when their family was still alive, many loved Narmi and praised her. This was an experience that Narmi solely owned, not Mirna’s.

But now, with her family taken away by the sinister plots of the possessed Professor Balan, at this moment, there were only a few people in the world who liked and recognized Narmi for herself.

No, in fact, they could be counted on one hand which was most likely Narmi herself and her sister. But even Mirna was so overwhelmed with everyday work that she didn’t have time to talk to Narmi.

━Geu-eoeo-.

━Again, come on!

Narmi was also busy with her own company. Every night, she had to take care of the family’s graves, catch fireflies, collect various insects to create the insect poison, and even throw pebbles into the void in boredom.

It was a dull time.

During the nearly thousand days of guarding the cemetery alone, one day, Narmi found a book. Reading became her way of spending time, it was wonderful.

The book contained stories of ordinary people living their lives. It depicted the everyday happiness of living while being basked in the sunshine.

It was a story so novel and distant from her own life. The daily experiences of life that she could never possess. Bustling yet languid afternoons.

Alas, once she closed the book, she would be back to the gloomy and dark cemetery…

As these days continued to count near to a thousand, Narmi suddenly felt that her life was unfair. She knew she shouldn’t be like this, but she felt that her sister was depriving Narmi of her own life.

Then one day, Narmi met a peculiar man. A man who met her eyes but had blue irises different from hers.

Those blue eyes were so clear that she couldn’t get enough of them no matter how much she looked. What was even more surprising was that the man recognized her.

━You are not Miss Mirna. Narmi, right? Miss Narmi Draco.

It was strange, but she soon came to terms with it.

It was said that the man in front of her could tell the future. Known as the “Demon Monk”, it was not surprising that he knew about her.

From that day on, Narmi and the Fairy’s special relationship began. It was a secret that was kept hidden even from her sister Mirna.

It was also then that she first learned the exhilaration of having something that was solely her own, as someone who usually shared everything with her sister.

And such a man just said…

That he only had her in his eyes.

And that he empathized with living under a facade.

Narmi was well aware that men sometimes used their tongues as weapons to seduce women.

However, she could hear sincerity from the man’s words. It was as if their souls were on the same wavelengths; confessing that what he was speaking was straight from the heart.

He only saw Narmi as herself, not her successful older sister nor the head of the Draco Family. An ordinary girl.

Narmi felt that, in this man’s eyes, she could finally live the ordinary life she had longed for. She realized that she was already in love with him.

No, in fact, she had already known for a long time.

The moment he bumped into Narmi on the steps of the moonlit temple. Even though she hadn’t introduced herself, he recognized Narmi first. By then, everything was already over.

But how should she respond?

She didn’t know what to say in this situation.

Seuk.

Narmi glanced around, watching as people came and went. Many of them were men and women sitting in pairs, smiling and holding hands.

They were ordinary people.

People in love with no strings attached.

If Narmi was an ordinary woman, what would she say here?

She felt like she had thought about it before, but perhaps because of the unfamiliar situation or the beer she was trying for the first time, she couldn’t wrap her head around it. Did she drink too much?

But she knew to some extent what the man wanted.

She wasn’t sure if she could decide on it without consulting her sister… No, was it really necessary to tell her sister? Nono, no matter what, this was an important issue…

But the man smiled.

“Then, shall we head back now.”

‘Head back?’

Does that mean their time together is over? That moment, Narmi felt her heart pounding for the first time…
