Taming The Villainesses

“Unnie ignored me. She even said that I wouldn’t last a day without her, and that I should just listen.”

“Did Miss Mirna really say that?”

“Yes!”

Narmi began explaining to me the details.

In the morning, when Mirna woke up, she was shocked when she saw the reflection in the mirror. Thus began the fight, with Mirna scolding Narmi for piercing her ears without her permission and pointing out her recent rebellious behavior.

If Narmi’s words were true, her anger was not unfounded.

At the same time, from Mirna’s perspective, waking up to find her ears pierced without her consent would understandably be infuriating.

However, with Narmi’s long pent-up frustration, she could no longer hold back and ended up

shattering the mirror as they fought.

“Perhaps she lost consciousness from the shock of the fight. She’ll probably regain her senses in a few days. Of course, even after she wakes up, I will be the one living in the day and she’ll have to endure the night.”

“Is that possible?”

“It is possible! I feel like I’m in control of the body now.”

‘Control’.

Mirna had always owned the right to control and manage their body. That was why she could choose when to be awake.

However, after the major fight they had, their souls clashed, and the control shifted significantly.

I couldn’t fully understand it because I wasn’t the one involved, but the closest analogy I could think of was probably Narmi now holding the horse’s reins.

“I want to live during the day too. I want to throw pebbles into the pond where the sunlight shines. I want to have lunch with everyone and enjoy a lazy afternoon tea party.”

“… But.”

“But?”

Narmi, who had been expressing her grievances, looked at me.

“But what…! If you have something to say, then say it…!”

I almost shrank back at her attitude.

But to me, who had served the tyrannical, borderline crazy Queen Aira and the sadistic bully Elga, Narmi’s cold attitude to me was no different than a hissing cat.

“But, you know…”

“Go on, speak.”

“Living in the daytime is not necessarily a good thing. You’ll have to attend to the duties that Miss Mirna has been handling herself. Will you be okay with that?”

“Duties?”

The tasks that came with being the Lady of the Draco House. You’d likely need to process a lot of paperwork, go on meetings with people to negotiate deals and contracts, and other things.”

“Hmph, I don’t believe I can’t do the things she can!”

Narmi said confidently.

And so, the next day.

Chwareureuk. Bang.

I put a mountain pile of documents and books in front of Narmi.

“… What’s this?”

It was a list of paperwork and miscellaneous tasks that Mirna, as the Lady of the Draco Family, had to handle, and it represented the responsibilities that Narmi would have to take on without her sister’s assistance.

“Since Narmi-nim would be taking over during the day, you have to fulfill these responsibilities.”

“… There’s so many?”

Narmi was perplexed.

Perhaps there was more work than Narmi had anticipated. Of course, it didn’t end there. I took out a notebook I had on hand and began reciting the schedule Narmi would need to follow.

“First, you need to finish processing this in the morning. After lunch, you’ll have a meeting with the contractors for the maintenance of the villa.”

“… All this needs to be done in the morning?”

“Also, after the meetings with the contractors, you have a dinner scheduled with the Draco Family’s direct subordinates. Furthermore-.”

I was well aware of Mirna’s schedule, not only her’s, but also Elga and Aira’s. It helped me strategize on how to deal with them more effectively.

Honestly, when it came to Elga and Aira, they had no specific responsibilities and simply spent their time doing whatever they pleased. It would be considered good if they didn’t cause any trouble.

Meanwhile, Mirna led the busiest life among the Ladies. As the Lady of the Draco Family, she handled numerous tasks by herself on the daily.

Narmi, however, seemed unaware of this.

“Did Unnie really do all this work? And finish it all in the morning? When is the tea party?”

The bewildered Narmi asked me. Hearing this, I patiently explained to her.

“The tea party is only after all the work is done. Mirna-nim would divide her day into minutes and seconds as she works. Of course, Narmi-nim can do it too, right?”

“Hmph, well, this is nothing!”

Narmi tried to appear strong.

However, since she was new to these tasks, Narmi quickly became overwhelmed and slumped over her desk.

“When will this end—!”

“These are the documents that need to be signed by this morning. Please sign them quickly.”

“Ugh…!”

She was already like this halfway through the day?

Well, for an outgoing person like Narmi, there was nothing more boring and dull than paperwork. Just then, I added another stinging comment.

“You should start getting used to this as this won’t end just today. There’s still tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that, and so on. You’ll have to work like this during the day for the rest of your life.”

“… Unnie never told me she did this! What is this? It’s boring, it’s not fun….”

“But you can’t go out until it’s all done.”

“Ugh….”

Narmi looked at me with dissatisfaction, but I was simply stating the facts.

I wasn’t doing this out of spite for Narmi, who had deceived me all day yesterday. I was simply assigning her the tasks that Mirna had been doing.

That was how daytime works.

It was a time when people worked diligently. Perhaps as the younger twin, she didn’t know about Mirna’s struggles.

It was a common tendency for people to think of their own lives as difficult while others’ as comfortable.

By making her realize this, she would eventually bring Mirna back on her own.
