"What?! How dare they?!"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CnQhDwNU6
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkIsZf0DPK
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FxRQJz6dE
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mi6dWBJvy
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1zbNFk71c
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSL5R26ojg
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57ivm9bIqw
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3gkUNuNFj
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfNW2wtzAp
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPG4uKBnOW
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovYXEFcFfb
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBI5HQdB6C
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShIXCneGJd
"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"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c2cU10ZZG
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnTDZcH5OP
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!"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJpqjMGekh
"You know me far better than that"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNouWz2qpi6
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYMEw5PAh1
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZC9NEQ9NP
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgynD7JhlVi

"What?! How dare they?!"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBn4okAF6R
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHS4IYRd0V
"Adria, where's my sword?"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88GsqBiTTf
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhctQ20W93
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl5H7sLoUP
"Adria?"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTTRSyHlVS
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLSQ9QFmTK
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrfsn0sE7w
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzHQBIZ7Ws
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgusHMd4kjv
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky0Z3MzLBw
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpgOP2ShWI
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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVZAW94zIl
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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U5CwELhsN
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rLMDdlnfD
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzg5vgvvn1
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWUNwmgpWi
"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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjhF4G98Fy
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"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyFdnoufcO
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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWaVGyXffn
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB7rwUSSVp
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt8hGUySZ1
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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGjg2yHHzg
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rg7l8LJZk
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM04RA0KnH
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gZO4kpImF
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Xxb0lA8i
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbhUPhs6EI
"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!"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIjX80S5uG
"Alright"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbfJcOcURA
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21amrLWBID
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRLTLUUewj
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"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNz7RUTZWX
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw3Vy5u5xc
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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrYKYoAUi7
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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABqc3eu97j
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70zcnbM5rr
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6mWERFYso
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWItTIFglP
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRzVD5Ufsz
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2ahZqGTLn
"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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7a7zf1WNN
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi5JIR3wDl
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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVrSMqfOsn
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!"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI3hMBr17Z
'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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLvTcvcSOA
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu5kqVutIS
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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8SfZivCDd
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynxbY83uiP
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlta6DktKY
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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFB37xDUHZ
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnYXbsjvPy
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstKH5WjbIS
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUnOxutRui
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFytBSgHxnq
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjiRUJf8Tr
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkqRkICBsr
"You don't own my heart"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbBwBAUtL1
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul91Gw784F
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxFvwbJlbi
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibxrahAaHJ
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oOoZJcNyE
"Haha. Very funny"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAhf6NljzY
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY696LlvPY
Finally the man spoke up.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFx8e0IPwA
"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"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7F0BDOcAu
I shrugged my shoulders.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HAe12lb29
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.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh1zHQRanS
'But now things are different'
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkso7zoCZr
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fLK9kcP4k
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iqx1DH7jb
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTxyx862nN
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxX0rHOVh7
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOOUJRDp8V
