Taming The Villainesses

In fact, it was only natural to be curious about the Draco Twins’ situation.

One body.

Two souls.

Let’s say I was the man who got engaged to Narmi’s older sister, Mirna.

And let’s even say we went through with the wedding. Naturally, as husband and wife, we would be a legal couple able to have children.

So, what would you call the relationship between Narmi and me? A brother-in-law and sister-in-law type of relationship? I guess that was what it would be in a typical situation.

However, this wasn’t anywhere near typical.

With the sisters sharing one body, the husband would undoubtedly find himself in a very perplexing situation.

“Eum.”

Perhaps she understood my question, as Narmi swirled the straw in her cup. This made the blazing flames over the blue alcohol momentarily dance like a serpent’s tongue-.

“My sister and I have discussed this topic a lot.”

“I see. Of course.”

“But in reality, we also don’t know for sure. Maybe it’s some form of polygamy? At least that’s the most plausible answer. A bigamy!”

“Bigamy, you mean getting married at the same time?”

“That’s right! To become the husband of the Draco Family, both my sister and I would have to marry the same person simultaneously.”

That did make sense.

Certainly, that seemed to be the most prudent and wise approach. Coming up with this solution is only natural, considering their intellect. However, while sipping alcohol through her straw, Narmi added.

“But there is a problem with this too.”

“What problem?”

“That would mean that me and my sister have to find a spouse we both like at the same time. And that person must like both of us equally. Otherwise, there will definitely be issues.”

“That’s true.”

“But finding such a person isn’t easy. Moreover, once they discover our peculiar constitution, many people tend to look at us like some freak.”

I could understand their sentiment. Finding a suitable partner was a challenging task.

It wouldn’t be any easier now. After all, whether Narmi realized it or not, I had taken the purity of the sisters, which meant I needed to become the groom!

That then raised the question of whether I could love Narmi and Mirna equally as a husband.

This was something that unexpectedly intersected with my desire to create a harem. Could I love the women who would become part of my harem equally?

However, as human nature would have it, I might end up favoring one person more than the others, which could lead to conflict among the women.

Building a harem wasn’t easy.

Then Narmi said while I was deep in thoughts.

“Of course, it’s not like there are no other options. There is a ‘way’ .”

“A way?”

“Yes. This is forbidden territory. It can be called a secret art. I think it’s fine if I tell you, Theo.”

Seukseuk.

Narmi looked around, covered her mouth with the fan, and leaned closer to me.

“In our Draco Family’s highest-level necromancy, there is something called divine descent. It is sometimes described as spirit possession.”

“Possession?”

It felt like I had just stumbled upon a story straight out of occult beliefs and shamanism. Come to think of it, the Draco Family was associated with the East. In the original setting, they seemed to have connections with Eastern traditions.

Hence why Mirna was a master of spirits, swords, talismans, and carried some fan for a weapon.

Narmi continued.

“Once upon a time, I found a secret book in our father’s study. It detailed a ritual involving preparing vessels and transferring souls into those vessels.”

“So, you mean it’s like a ghost possessing another body?”

“Yes, a possession. I don’t know why my father had such a book. But I think it’s probably because of our special constitution.”

“Does that mean Narmi-nim or Mirna-nim could transfer to a new body if you use it?”

“That’s right!”

It was indeed a plausible story.

The Draco Family had been involved in soul manipulation, including black magic and necromancy, for a long time. Knowing a spell to transfer souls into other vessels didn’t seem unusual.

Wasn’t that also the case with the Ars Nova, King Solomon’s Great Magic? Transforming one’s thoughts and personality by implanting a will into another person.

Perhaps the Draco Family collaborated in Solomon’s creation of the Great Magic.

‘I see.’ Even the great Mage King Solomon had sought help from others to create such massive spells.

So, was the first Ars Nova created also the high ranking magic Gamigin? It was a reasonable speculation. Because I knew what Demon King Solomon wanted.

According to Professor Stella, Solomon mourned the death of his beloved Nymph, day and night.

Then, the moment his tears stopped, like someone possessed, he began researching resurrection magic.

I could feel multiple puzzle pieces connecting here.

Demon King Solomon, with the help of the Draco Family, tried to put someone’s soul into a new vessel-.

That was the answer I had realized. And that someone was probably the deceased Nymph. Solomon was trying to resurrect her or transfer her soul.

Possession-.

I also had quite a lot to say about this, so I had mixed feelings.

Could it be that I ended up in this body due to some kind of magic? It didn’t seem entirely impossible.

Someone might have drawn my soul, Lee Seong-eum, from Earth and placed it in Theo Gospel’s body.

Though no notification popped up from that thought.

So this probably wasn’t it.

As I was about to come up with another hypothesis, Narmi spoke up.

“But well, it’s just a thought. Preparing a vessel isn’t easy. Also, deciding which one of us, my sister or me, will move to the new vessel is difficult.”

“That’s definitely a tough issue. And if it’s a vessel, is it a living person?”

“Most likely, that’s how it has to be. But who would willingly offer their body? And any sane person wouldn’t even think about taking someone else’s body. I don’t want to go that far.”

“I see.”

“Furthermore, finding a suitable body for the soul won’t be any easier. It might require many test subjects! I can’t do such a thing…”

Narmi said that, but I knew that the Draco Family’s Young Lady would turn deranged and become the villain of the second part of the story.

As far as I could remember, the mad necromancer was looking for a vessel. I didn’t think it was irrelevant to what Narmi said just now.

The corruption and downfall of Mirna and Narmi might not have reached its conclusion yet…

With these thoughts, I shuddered and made a resolution to handle them carefully.
