Taming The Villainesses

(EP-172.2) Exposed #1

172 – Exposed Under The Sun #1

Narmi had a great experience today.

It was something that many young men and women secretly did, when they were alone together. The proof of it still tingled in her lower abdomen.

‘It didn’t hurt too much.’

She had heard that it would be extremely painful at first.

In the peculiar novels Narmi had read, women on their first night often screamed or fainted. Some were even described as a sensation similar to being stabbed with a knife.

However, perhaps due to her skilled partner, Narmi merely felt a faint tingling sensation. It wasn’t like she felt extremely good, but it wasn’t extremely painful either.

‘… I really don’t know.’

It must be because it was her first time. However, the moments they spent together on the bed after everything was over, sharing stories and trying to stay awake while talking, were enjoyable.

It felt like they were getting to know each other better.

For Narmi, who had lived with few people in her world, it was as if she had finally found someone who understood her. It gave her a sense of security in a corner of her heart.

“Gently, gently.”

Her partner was asleep laying face down in front of her. He was probably tired. It made sense as he did most of the moving.

But it felt awkward being the only one awake, so Narmi gently shook the body of the soundly sleeping Half-Fairy.

“Theo, are you sleeping?”

“No, I’m still awake.”

Then, the Half-Fairy nonchalantly lied with saliva still on his lips. Even though she literally just watched him asleep just now.

Of course, she didn’t mind. It was actually quite nice.

“Theo, you can sleep first if you’re tired.”

“But, if I fall asleep, you’ll wake me up like you did just now.”

“That’s true…”

“…….”

The Half-Fairy, Theo Gospel, let out a short chuckle. Narmi couldn’t help but wonder if this was the first time she had seen him smile like this.

Well not necessarily like she hadn’t seen him smile, but she’d never seen him do so like he was truly having fun and laughing.

Thinking about it like that, Narmi felt proud as if she had accomplished something great. She made the Half-Fairy laugh-!

“Great.”

Narmi, who was in a great mood, decided to be generous and do him a favor.

“Theo, I’ll give you a massage.”

“Didn’t you just do it?”

“No, this is a brain massage. It puts the mind and soul at ease. It’s one of a Dark Priestess’ skills. It’s also my specialty.”

“Is it like Black Magic?”

“Yeah! It’s similar!”

The Half-Fairy looked a bit reluctant, but Narmi grabbed his temple with both hands and slowly chanted.

“━━─.”

The spell had a melody, rhythm, highs and lows, and was made up of incomprehensible murmurs.

The most important thing was that this spell collected fragments of the shattered mind. It had effects on healing dementia, improving memory, and even curing insomnia.

As Narmi slowly approached the man’s mind, she soon realized that there was something like a massive lock that seemed to encase his soul.

Snap.

As she delved deeper into the depths of the man’s consciousness, she was thrown back with a spark.

“Ouch!”

“Why are you screaming? Are you okay?”

“Theo, you have a mental protection on you.”

“Mental protection?”

“Theo, you don’t know about this? Wait. This type of spell, I think I’ve seen it somewhere….”

Narmi of the Draco family was an expert in mental protections.

For her, this mental protection spell was like a lock placed by someone with exceptional magical abilities. It wasn’t impossible to unlock, but it would likely require a significant amount of time and effort.

At this moment, Narmi could only understand the purpose and scale of this mental protection spell.

“The mana is organized in parallel, and the spell is 45 lines long. Moreover, the incantation consists of more than 30 verses. It’s a great magic.”

“I don’t quite understand what that means. Spell lines are the strokes used to draw magic circles, and incantations are the recited verses…, Um….”

“It means it’s an incredibly powerful spell. Like a protective spell for a fortress consists of about 30 lines. And with the 20 verses, you can see the scale, right?”

“Hmm….”

The Half-Fairy frowned in incomprehension.

Narmi couldn’t quite grasp it either. A spell of this magnitude would typically need several exceptional mages, taking months to complete.

“Wait a minute.”

Now that she looked at it closely, the spell structure and matrices, as well as the incantations, seemed quite familiar.

It resembled the sealing ritual that was performed on the Draco Twins.

Twins with two souls sharing one body.

Their talents were grand and immense, and when combined, they were considered to be on par with the Dragon King Draco himself who dealt with a Dracolich. However, their physical body couldn’t keep up with this power.

The young girls’ body was too small to contain two mighty souls.

Because of this, the Draco Family performed a sealing ritual deep within the twins’ minds that suppresses their spirit.

That was how they managed to coexist to this day without their souls mixing up.

“It’s similar…”

Narmi’s mental chamber and the structure of this spell were very similar.

The only difference was that it was larger than the sealing ritual, with additional matrices and incantations.

Who in the world would place something like this in a human’s mind? Was there even a need to protect one’s mind to this extent?

No, that was not it.

Narmi realized that she was mistaken. Having a rare profession, a Level 9 Dark Priestess, she naturally noticed the subtle nuances of the situation.

This wasn’t a spell meant to protect the mind. It was not a shield, but rather, a prison.

A prison meant to confine the Half-Fairy’s spirit.

Something was sealed inside this Half-Fairy. To be precise, this physical body itself was no different from a massive prison.

But why?
