"What?! How dare they?!"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKngtXLOZUh
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxHBjnSDuw
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vjShwSzDC
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclpmKMuF1d
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ATK8v4lrq
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Psr0ecGR
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ3PjHwkYg
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkVW9t0K7g
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU78jB1Hcj
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk5vmOhBH0
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSYwtvy5Mb
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs3OBoU08G
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMltn51gjkO
"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"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpRg6TVJ13
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoe46b0m6f
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!"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SEZcMnXuS
"You know me far better than that"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxoVCV3Gtn
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2qZkFNJsR
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GXdQ2j5us
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFtx2XqaHp

"What?! How dare they?!"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfht3lj5KQt
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6scLZKtGhL
"Adria, where's my sword?"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqVTgzKr5s
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkS1HIQ6f1
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD53XHfBq7z
"Adria?"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw6ER9b6XR
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXeVc7ou90
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl1XNPQxQ1
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzpvhFsxO8
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD77Y23qyV
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeTXJF4OWp
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnpRylutur
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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeTLBR3Pgi
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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCftOK8bXJ
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIsJFFBoKK
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJynlG7YOJQ
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdV934As3Z
"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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNAh8bQhu8
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"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIVEt4uP6a
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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkehoNqS6A
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ySIszpmK
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0oeZ8f2h3
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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpykoIM8mnG
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajtdaDlBE5
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteujQVxPJi
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlrh6HxgZq
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXOPlZkCcp
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KraTFxxdN
"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!"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq6GCyrRGk
"Alright"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8PdP5PAVQ
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqZtDZJ8Wr
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wvzlkXSwX
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"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTWTz4iFeB
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPjNDe1uMw
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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0myHr4nvMH
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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i2HVsOc4I
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28MlNedITp
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJEAVcs3I2
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8wi9obFnv
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PqbNGo1IV
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkjs1pfXqs
"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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5N11uIFum
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X55DKb18l
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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaGoqT4ZF3
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!"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWmLzNK14q
'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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIpwdIx0r2
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYxhqrTW23
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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFkP02kIyO
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxVlNTUyTx
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbSjmmeVXO
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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOakg9y1EZP
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7pfiioOmg
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsonMjIVrFh
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62yjE55H42
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFljCrTQ42
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi9d58gAY8
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1numKwEUvm
"You don't own my heart"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx34swamQMd
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6nSKfEzRB
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YMzFcmCb6
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDhFrU0vvu
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYhYz6X4U0
"Haha. Very funny"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7nNpU4qIX
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIES1Q13iWG
Finally the man spoke up.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclTbthvPO8
"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"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMytEQRWnG
I shrugged my shoulders.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKVhQa5EpD
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.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJYgV2KgzZ
'But now things are different'
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBWNsTRzYC
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2KbHF2ASi
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPFsBvYOgO
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T0UUaP6ZS
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkpZ7pS67L
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvm5rV4ubs
