"What?! How dare they?!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOG1IvraA1
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4lpzU8VPI
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55WRUVDtoB
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh29BJ8J9V
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzkvujLTbf
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecuW5b6OtY
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlbX0rOymS
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeMNlAtufk
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNODrrib0zV
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgol46nuh0d
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJG3v0hDRC
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTx6q7xHN7
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBw88j2mgE
"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"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ9VLynUUV
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6x0eEb1hU
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!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ8dzckyEB
"You know me far better than that"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizlEdMvDkM
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4E8RdyW0h
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UrhhOjH18
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dRwKUiK1T

"What?! How dare they?!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHgpKXChkI
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0UbjDFFwf
"Adria, where's my sword?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU4oljLlU0
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WjUe6HDx6
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Lx6Xx6ZJ
"Adria?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOvZbqepsR
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49NlAx03i4
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY27EHW6sNi
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzum89ld9sn
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJT6h47Uz8
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd9ozD1qMq
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51jQ4Ytpe3
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBJsE0WjJQ
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WrJ9LE7oP
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEMWp2bCtF
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZMTpG80Ls
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2QamG4qQO
"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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORauUzR06P
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"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AbKcsKF2z
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpPmg4vElN
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MM8t0y7oE
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOJfMTJabQ
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrOtQA4rGe
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv95uAZd4L
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILqmY4gsRw
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP0e3nsrlA
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKwo3dnFB0
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4boi6RBsP
"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!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTnmV6IdXN
"Alright"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52NXeCbuxx
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YwW9mqjs7
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkVeHmkgvf
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"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3hKsjOvIj
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBC5bXekUk
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5qpyOANeC
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOdBo7ABH5
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAm3rgZThE
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6eW4CNFfD
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWA1wn27mr
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYsoGV9g4R
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6FvikR8zB
"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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXIKPjGTrt
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTbcbmYYAy
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ6xhohmmU
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!"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi3CVtmdCP
'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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKY6hUm8ww
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4zQwMrfOl
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08kirTvR5h
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HZPiGvV9Y
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKktLPGJEC
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMtYszjp7j
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT96drOu3L
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGBEbJD3ws
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYRONnCRtI
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjGSLYP61L
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nvw3p2zdD
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67fdQYJONd
"You don't own my heart"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsd5aLjOBf
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzIyhmMAx4
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaSTrrz0hl
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed5ALKnIwz
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MHPhZfk22
"Haha. Very funny"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzUubFXSTC
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWihfJv6OQ
Finally the man spoke up.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYECQrOLq8r
"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"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbnVmkm1ON
I shrugged my shoulders.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesiTLjQt3j
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.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsLDpu3XuB
'But now things are different'
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2MIxt9HWV
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0DbRtupAW
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivVugWo9WG
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNx1IPwaMC
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r5CQnuXvE
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
