"What?! How dare they?!"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLYzkoUqFN
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6cjg2rN5S
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqTLVyBrWy
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx7Qvfqckl
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgsmcBemix
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRimnAFhblJ
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjAWWADxiM
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKoaQ344P3
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2iqW8tdb2
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc0Y4GVZMb
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrp4xnz7uq
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwj7C2kmug
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfbc98jwoi
"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"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjRz2igiQq
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLKIhnuCzU
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!"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCokQCggQ2q
"You know me far better than that"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QUXDYgyK9
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVE0USMNAO
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80PHtolYN9
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yd3SXVUEV

"What?! How dare they?!"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudbaokLsJ1
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTaGQrvF25
"Adria, where's my sword?"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupqPo2QuDJ
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ptgmmmVO
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqEbPdbOdJ
"Adria?"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcFNnX1IQx
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEn54QBtw0
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHsxteH4QN
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP22PN1D7hS
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48BcQwA2P1
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15fxL7CLOu
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfN35GvEHn
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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0E6AcToW9
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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETmfvMuVJJ
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQdwHDY2AT
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6dCg9T7jW
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRgfeIsdKf
"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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5JnqNnbay
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"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IzDQg1hFw
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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxlyM2rEiT
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuIZz8k4pn
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK4ch5Q3qM
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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUJWwnVfvY
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX4m4b25TE
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkA4LNW7HF
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b09XYCpcf
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxglALLgcw9
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyJx8DbeAr
"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!"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpWwbUXH6j
"Alright"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX89kbNUST
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwdS1Z2OSp
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m7zg4AGNO
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"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqCYyfcmcn
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98QmkyEXvG
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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjX3ztml2w
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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mb8vBg644
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TVdAcx5XD
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5F5ElQI0j
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE0f9JLbTv
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTRkuTXS5v
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSosd8d2FCJ
"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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8JUY2Hgjm
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3py2ggiaPR
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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrdvBZGdpU
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!"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd9Jl84lUk
'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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2FSAlsDkT
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5KSdV1KQ0
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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiHtxtKpj5
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh4bcRQNAT
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2EyGCmuEd
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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjYmgRJrkv
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTap21V8O4C
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9FAEF7c41
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWwtbcgjGA
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTsR4zJVzN
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EGXDgQ6Di
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbUyqkZj4E
"You don't own my heart"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rJPFkzYF7
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLzmt24blS
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpVpJeZ1kI
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWHdoKUKQN
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJRt3TRErG
"Haha. Very funny"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd9fqslWa7
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJn3c4t9xG
Finally the man spoke up.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsWPucxN1H
"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"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY105zeng48
I shrugged my shoulders.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojSF4elPwc
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.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPhVgBdLed
'But now things are different'
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJaqCMVkBv
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtRrjY5qcG
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpl7ApHnqW
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MFbBW0SIJ
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
967Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4ByZEPAln
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
