"What?! How dare they?!"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfX9TfiE9D
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Nr2KIzFQ
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkILlf2drK
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9cc41ncu9
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbOruTPaU6
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0aETcckQD
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODdcVmhoVA
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdPWFttvpu
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXorJAhKDp
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tk2Vh9sIp
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIYugnRz33
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKFbGtppab
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfPRPYUCyg
"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"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFbjTesjiS
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpG7HErdbJ
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!"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmqiVJk8hH
"You know me far better than that"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm2X2zmL8U
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCuM4PYLeB
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxDRD5l1Jk
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSXVm4AbVc

"What?! How dare they?!"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznZDkjmrvO
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmiNZIZTWa
"Adria, where's my sword?"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gluCLxjBg
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGJHHkK1VV
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIlj4ELPal
"Adria?"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm6clYCK15
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITK3USQJnL
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhqALhwvJ2
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXLCewWKGS
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6VyRVC2K9
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTYt53pmmC
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLafDRhCTL6
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQnUukAZHk
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr87qoN4eIl
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwNkjGyZ50
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhMtwkPHn3
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygJFHqPXLT
"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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjfpkY1NCv
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"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO61NxOcnL
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqjpst5ajV
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj4WHCsP2a
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGrxNBuzb1
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckiJBFamtp
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjWSqXaajs
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv87ImIPEfw
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k6OSxERg4
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LDyt47wSL
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfwY1ZoS59
"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!"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwaD5a0wrD
"Alright"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXve9oawL4i
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4WohYv3v0
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpbEKlR34i
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"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjSbjK41N6
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyHUVxpd6G
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv7yRc2iSz
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lucrE1O7J
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpk23BYtkS
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxftu7FR05
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF1zIIMiWa
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVWLPOBESe
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0o9GFQIjX
"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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBci0tLmc1
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLwtuQ4TFd
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKwWsLjgXj
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!"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEzKzzMqDK
'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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyHa8I8qJO
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zs90prZKA
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HIGRG4YZJ
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvCLPaAIDq
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oeD5Uiw2p
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKBbsqpd6y
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepo4ct0mgy
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj88kstntuO
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xxQhkVncv
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgmcxD50FC
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2pzgJkgKG
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLJPivGYpp
"You don't own my heart"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxArQyn7Kj
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8QGVDhiCf
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWUCpCSfFX
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLUzVtiYoa
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJJiVlPltI
"Haha. Very funny"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrDr8DhJsN
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gKmrT4RR1
Finally the man spoke up.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Z3E3nlcG
"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"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBBP1dMVhK
I shrugged my shoulders.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM1C71SUq8
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZCnYgf20b
'But now things are different'
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpECjemSxW6
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzjYQjLr6a
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOXpb78oK1
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgVCtpsb1P
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYaxDJyqqO
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
