146 – Pincer #6

She could frankly say it.

Mirna didn’t like Elga.

She had only seen Elga once at the Angmar Palace’s grand ball during her early childhood.

─The Lioness of the Golden Army is here-! Everyone, bow your heads-!

Elga was shouting as if commanding servants, which annoyed Mirna. She frowned at the sight, finding Elga’s behavior akin to an arrogant little kitten splashed with cold water.

Did Lady Lioness know?

The fact that while some praised Elga Von Lioness as the legendary Lioness of Borgia, there were others behind her back who ridiculed her as an inept kitten.

Well, she couldn’t answer that.

—Lady Lioness is rough and loud. On the other hand, Mirna-nim is elegant and graceful.

When people around Mirna praised her while comparing her to Elga, about half of the compliments were genuine, but the other half were mere flattery.

Mirna found it unpleasant to be compared to Elga, who had no understanding of a nobility’s responsibilities and duties, solely because they were both from distinguished houses.

This feeling intensified with age.

When they reunited in Ark, Lady Lioness was like an ignorant young lady. She appeared to have no burdens, enjoying a comfortable life in her father’s sheltered arms like a delicate greenhouse flower.

And that was exactly how she seemed.

It was also true in reality.

“What did you just say?”

Mirna doubted her own ears. However, asking again was also an act of mercy, giving Elga a chance to retrieve the offensive remarks she had just made.

But the clueless Lioness seemed not to understand the situation, continuing to speak with a clear and composed voice.

“You didn’t hear? I said I’m also interested in this guy.”

Saying that, Elga’s eyes turned to the little Half-Fairy. He looked visibly flustered by the situation, shaking uncontrollably.

Mirna felt a sense of discomfort, as if someone had just tainted what belonged to her.

“What nonsense is that? Didn’t you just say it? Theo Gospel is my fiancé!”

“Yeah, I know. But technically, you haven’t gotten married, right? Until it’s legally confirmed, you two are not bound together, right?”

“That’s….”

‘That’s right.’

Indeed, strictly speaking, Mirna and Theo were not legally recognized as a couple. Therefore, whether Elga liked Theo or not was a matter of personal freedom.

Morally, it might be questionable, but legally, there was no issue.

However, that was merely a superficial view.

Mirna and the Half-Fairy were already connected to the very soul.

She had already given him her most precious and valuable purity. In a way, she had already put a substantial investment into the relationship.

As that clueless woman continued to blabber on, Mirna felt her anger boiling inside.

But Mirna was a patient person.

Wasn’t this dumb Lioness just deliberately trying to provoke her?

Thinking that maybe this was a dirty trick of the Lioness Family to make her slip up, her anger mellowed down a bit.

‘That’s right!’

This was just a blatant provocation.

A vile trick of looking for a chance to stomp the Draco Family while they were down.

Perhaps the reason that the Young Lady of the Lioness Family, who was far from cultured or educated, entered Ark was to seize an opportunity to attack the Draco Family.

Indeed, Elga’s behavior at Ark had been far from diligent. She always skipped classes and lectures.

Piece by piece, the puzzle was coming together.

Yes, she shouldn’t fall to the Lioness’ crude tactics.

Mirna’s anger subsided as soon as she managed to read her opponent’s moves. Instead, a smile of pity for her poor adversary appeared on her lips.

Chwareureuk.

To hide her smile, Mirna unfolded the fan she received as a gift from the man.

When she thought about it, even if Elga showed interest in a man infatuated with her own charm, nothing would come of it.

Mirna and Elga.

If they had to choose between the two, all the men would undoubtedly choose Mirna herself. The only thing Lady Lioness had to offer was a bad personality and her stupid chest.

Honestly, they were too large and not even attractive!

Moreover, the Half-Fairy and herself had already become one.

Recalling the sense of unity she felt that day, Mirna couldn’t even imagine that the man would choose another woman over her.

In any case, Elga was fighting a lost battle.

Mirna found it amusing that Elga was talking so much, not knowing the deed was already done and how much the man was into her.

She really knew nothing about men!

Was it because she had no experience with men?

That must be it.

After all, the only men who would like a wild and violent woman like Elga were scoundrels wearing sly smiles, who approached young women pretending to be nice.

With people around her praising and fawning over her, she must really think she was special and attractive.

She was talking big for someone who didn’t know anything.

“So, you think it’s okay for me to have an interest in this guy?”

In that moment, a vision of Elga desperately clinging to the man while being dumped flashed in Mirna’s mind.

━Don’t approach me. I have Lady Mirna.

━I’m inferior to Mirna…!?

The image of Elga chewing on her handkerchief as she got thoroughly trampled on in terms of feminine charm would make for quite an amusing scene.

Elga, unaware of such thought, continued to speak with a confident and relaxed expression.

“Or are you afraid of losing your fiancé to me, Mirna Draco?”

Her cool blue eyes gazed at her.

How many people had perished in front of those glacial blue eyes? This was undoubtedly a declaration of war against the Draco Family.

The man called Theo Gospel was merely a tool for her provocation.

This was war!

With that in mind, Mirna felt that it would be nice to show a little sting to this arrogant Lioness for trespassing into her life.

“Then, let me propose one condition.”
