"What?! How dare they?!"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcpiMFcSsv
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPwfLD0rc5
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQmizTNbEN
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl84pAlpkJX
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS9EHjivzC
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8jT7nz3cE
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXKhpJ6mdx
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iYq185mk4
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe72THHzAX
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB2T6HJNWB
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaeK0ITsnn
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAmZVxGRc2
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9mX5htnEz
"Now, now Harper. Calm down. I might not kill them physically but will instead destroy their reputation and lives. Making it so bad, that they'd want to commit suicide"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqO8dKrPAh
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA38IKU01Gh
Harper clapped her hands joyfully and said. "Yay! It's been up to a month since the lady last destroyed someone's life! Oh, how long it's been!"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4OM8y1Wqv
"You know me far better than that"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9b2vGy5v7
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqQ5ggPqQp
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDYaAMCLU7
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVT7AV9vaM

"What?! How dare they?!"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXqhWT0fv3
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZixsvC3z3
"Adria, where's my sword?"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLfpu8eo5B
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU9wFTemFX
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDarX2dyxV
"Adria?"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT48QfUN0Q2
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oBBA177A5
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbXhAsmosQ
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqJ2m21nFQ
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ277ongToNC
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqciYOyj4u
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQCd5BortU
Being among, the very few strong and notable female knights that had gone into war, my mother had earned herself respect and recognition here in the South and was respected as Marchioness Deor.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CTfNL7kDe
She had quite a high self esteem and loved Adrianna and could obviously not stand the fact that the mistress' daughter ousted her own daughter and stole her fiancé.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV3r9KmN1U
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDobIx9FAFY
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcMpue4bVb
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFnf1rvyaH
"Of course not mother. You know the real reason why I proposed to be engaged to Ronald is because of the stability between the Belv Duchy as they help your knight program.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQatOqHEmFk
Besides, I've told you before that I knew that he's cheating on me. The only thing that comes as a surprise is that he was cheating on me with Paisley"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUmqqbqN9v
It was the truth. The only reason why I proposed an engagement to Ronald was because of the knight program that my mother had started.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucZcdYIDrX
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GacILcHKW
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFDnsYVZID
We had no relationship with the Belv Duchy, thus my engagement to Ronald opened up many business prospectives which I wanted mother to take advantage of.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kJMwwqqvb
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDz6zxgwng
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO507rXyQSL
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhekrSYCEo5
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1AcGBY9p8
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWyScbCidM
"I'm glad you're okay. Since you want to handle them yourself, make sure to deal with them so that they'll regret betraying and messing with you!"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1OWX3FLvL
"Alright"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g2c63IuYN
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmazkZ2i4p
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GY3Pe2dpl
It's probably owed to the Crown Prince's involvement with it. I heard he was fighting at the front lines and was able to slaughter a hundred men at a time. Such an exaggeration"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jy6nTrnFr
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFYAw1R69i
Crown Prince Nathan was the male lead of [I Shall Save My Knight]. He had supposedly fallen in love with Paisley at first sight during his debut Ball.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBeYr3rhmH
However, unlike in the novel were he would be revealed to the world at the age of eighteen, his debut had not yet happened despite him already possibly being twenty two, since he was said to have been older than Paisley with two years.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ditWgnNCs
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xUqxCDMLv
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc5yvDg8FV
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQG87K5waP
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dZ02tHYNH
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9JVLgwgZu
"There's a rumor that the Crown Prince will have his debut once the army comes back to the capital after clearing up the carnage and claiming the treasures.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtHnKUy4gc
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieF4c7Yhcz
I had a nice chat about business and some personal matters with mother and finally stood up to leave as she continued sorting some paper work.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWyyw9ob4j
As I was leaving through the door she said. "But if you change your mind about dealing with Ronald and Paisley yourself, my sword is always ready to shed blood!"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrSvUF731c
'Such loyal people... I'm lucky to have become the villainess of this novel'

Night time had finally arrived and I went to my balcony and stood, staring up at the moon.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix6WMjXTql
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOMW2IMxsI
I turned around and went back into my room. Walking over to my bed, I sat at the side of it and patted the space beside me.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJg2EMdXOW
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIBUrL8cq8
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XdxHTZtlM
The person was dressed in black. With a strong and tall build. His hair was dark purple in color, falling to the sides of a very gorgeous face with good proportions of all the features.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT4k2QLi21
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiubLymVrn
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7glIyemIIW
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpHHQeISpz
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAsSWkPxLj
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iiw4vQzip
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtdfZouUzD
"You don't own my heart"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpu96yfjYG
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpcHPWiMcC
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZMYfcAdcA
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPospwZzeEE
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGSvPMw9sI
"Haha. Very funny"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxnThaF0x5
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQLAkIf2SK
Finally the man spoke up.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB42Ua2uRkW
"You're obviously attracted to me, so why still insist on not cheating on that Ronald bastard? He cheats on you, so why remain so loyal, Adrianna"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f8FpDgdZ5
I shrugged my shoulders.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdwnlu86iz
It's not that I don't want to cheat on Ronald, it's more of the fact that I had been afraid. Afraid to get involved with the male lead and jeopardize my peaceful life.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpI7B6GJGM
'But now things are different'
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiAQj20Nip
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAEqs1TzJo
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A2ILlZNJV
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfabldy92LC
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjlYUqPOcR
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnboqQBFQHZ
