Taming The Villainesses

(EP-21.1) Angmar #1

021 – Peaceful Angmar #1

There were many different races in this world.

Such as Humans.

Nymphs.

And even Half-Nymphs, a hybrid of the two.

There were also the beast-like hairy men, the Dwarves, and the tall and slender ever-youthful Elves.

However, what I wanted to talk about was Monsters.

The Dark Clans were grouped together under the encompassing name, ‘Monsters'.

Ogres were one of them.

━Humans, weak. I, Gorgor, strong. I am King!

The ogre, whose skin was pallid gray, was well over 4 meters tall. He came from the huge race of giants that could reach up to 5 meters.

Various animal skins were wrapped around his lower body like some goblin panty. He was holding a thick club and a half-cut human body as if it was modern art, splattering blood everywhere.

━Lake King, Gorgor, now implement the conscription system. Conscription system is good, but no benefits for you!

An ogre's intelligence was at most that of a child, but they were ferocious and vicious. Hence, they were great siege weapons and made up the vanguard of the Demon King Angmar's army.

Such an ogre was now claiming to be a King that reigned over one of the eight great views of Monarch City, the lake's Einrich Castle.

━ King! This feels great! The King, now finding a Queen!

Of course, said ogre wasn't the only one here.

━Hey! What are you waiting for!? Shoot it with arrows! Get rid of that crazy monster! Damnit, shoot!

━Captain, the arrow just bounces off the ogre! Its skin is too hard and tough to penetrate!

━Fuck this! What the hell are we supposed to do?

Soldiers in leather-padded armor could be seen running around under the fortress' walls. They were probably Einrich Castle's guards.

These soldiers were tasked with guarding the tourist spot.

I approached them and asked.

“How did this happen? Why is the ogre doing this?”

“First of all, it’s dangerous, civilians must leave the premises! Sir Scout who came to kill the ogre just got slaughtered!”

Sir Scout… Was he referring to the knight that was ripped in half by the ogre?

The knights of this world were strong.

They were forged weapons of war that held a sword since childhood. They had undergone numerous trainings and actual battles on the battlefield. These were the knights of this medieval world.

If such a knight rushed on horseback, any opponent would fall.

But the ogre was much stronger than that.

━Hiiek, sa, save me! Help me!

━I, Gorgor, break in castle. Be my soldier! Serve me!

━I don't want to…!!

I felt dizzy.

I brought Aira to this place to heal her with the wonderful scenery, not to show this horrific scene!

Just then, the Guard Captain said.

“I've already called for a Mage. Salvation will soon come from the main unit! For now, we need to avoid this beast! Everyone, follow me! Turn back and enter the fortress!”

[T/N: Magician changed to Mage]

He then started pushing me on the back. At that moment, I saw Aira slowly moving towards the gates.

This was bad…

Soldiers started climbing up the ladders while the ogre, who was wielding a huge tree-like club, whacked them.

━Eueaak!

━Hieek!

The screaming from wounded soldiers, the burnt smell from wafting smoke and the scent of blood, they were all so dizzying…

This place was definitely a very bad environment for rehabilitation.

Because of this, I had no choice but to step up somehow, in spite of the Captain's warning.

“Mr. Ogre over there! For what reason are you acting like this? We can talk it out!”

━Gorgor, tried to talk but no one listened! Now, through actions, everyone must listen to Gorgor!

He then threw a "rock" that looked like a fragment of the fortress at us. More importantly, it was only a "rock" from the ogre's point of view. To me, it was no different from a meteorite!

Whoosh-

━Run away!

━Hiiek!

The soldiers began to flee. However, there was one person who stood firm in the midst of this chaos, it was none other than Queen Aira.

Uttuk.

Suddenly, the flying rock paused mid-air.

I knew better than anyone that it was Aira who had stopped it using her telekinetic powers.

The ogre' expression, who was not aware of it, became uglier as he continued to throw more rocks.

━Stone! Is stone broken?

Whoooo, whooosh, whew.

Of course, the following ones also couldn’t touch Aira's body. They just piled up and fell towards the lake, creating a huge splash.

Kwaaaaaaa— A rainbow appeared in an instant.

The ogre was standing amidst the falling droplets of water.

━I got it! The girl there. You're a Mage. A hateful Mage! But, you look pretty! A beautiful and strong woman, a good fit for my Queen!

An ogre's aesthetic seemed to be similar to that of a Human.

I really didn’t need to know this.

Anyway…

I shouted at the angry ogre.

“She's not just a Mage! She's the head of the Angmar Council, the rightful heir to the Dark Throne! She is the Guardian of the Valkyria Federation, which rules over five Kingdoms and four duchies!”

━Too long!

“Her Majesty Aira Von Tarantera, the only legitimate Queen of Angmar! Now, bow before her presence!"

Right after my loud introduction, I could sense a sinking feeling in the air.

The noisy soldiers and the ogre that'd been howling like an angry dinosaur all shut up and started looking at Aira.

━Puha, puhahaha.

The ogre Gorgor suddenly burst out laughing.

━Angmar has no Queen. There's only Abram Angmar, the true King. King Angmar promised us ogres a land flowing with milk and honey.

Gorgor was trembling.

━Here, Angmar's promised land, the ogres' home. It's only Gorgor who managed to survive. My family were enslaved and died!

Upon hearing this, Aira merely snorted, “Heueung.” Meanwhile, I felt my hair standing on end.

Did he really just deny Aira's queenship right to her face and elevated the authority of the fallen Demon King Angmar?

If this continued, Aira would tear the ogre apart. By then, Aira, who has tasted massacre, would transform into a murderous Queen. Ultimately, it would lead to her ending up on the guillotine.

When I thought about this, I simply couldn't stay still.
