"What?! How dare they?!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7ZRNefXqF
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3aZVNZkE3
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMGHMJd1ZM
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsfdboBBOg
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVsA29jCYl
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59j0eBhLyc
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQWFUjdBOv
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjIEVcACRQ
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJFBh3cP1i
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIPsYLv2EA
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxdmRKwasx
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJAWnR0k91
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdrFyabXos
"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"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSGaONduzC
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCnHa6dWnQ
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!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP058lk2BL
"You know me far better than that"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KeyyZrpT5
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9FUxwblHj
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxUFIpCbN3
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dLaPMYSG7

"What?! How dare they?!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRyEHLuGCy
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR7Hz8ObcM
"Adria, where's my sword?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GPDZQIT0q
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI7eTLdbwm
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgshlh6hDCy
"Adria?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEvktRABkk
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD70ZwFBtO
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJX15ERnfc
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMvbbrWGbP
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZMjgj1kZG
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAzHuc5X3m
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPManlIIA4
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEARzvuEO4G
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBaavwussc
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlTOXmUt56
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAZQwtvccs
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsnoyJykCy
"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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8buxU0Wt1y
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"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnh7pa0T2x
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hnCmJxxi4
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9MKPcG3cR
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFISvYdpECD
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2wyAPZSlc
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo28hW2mqq5
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU43hWhtsaG
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO77DFiWKZQ
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71TQgRw0LD
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8OSIWCdXb
"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!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiD8FCPSZ8
"Alright"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKAcvsIHo2
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC6xrBh6in
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEepU3PeIIg
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"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHaAQ6Nd37
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWTERw1xLt
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJBNcgTGYK
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohMoLjja5D
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J8BEiE8Ye
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebNgOcIDgf
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMJ5nK2c1J
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF13pRMnwY
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec1aJLsUvb
"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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf79Xd2lpI
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGtn7zRlhx
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrtvbqXK2C
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!"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS7j3eIESX
'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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy42MowfhP
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi0KqTAYwt
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4H6cEqbpN
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt61f8TlcT
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabnfIMvCWz
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVe5eeaKLL
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNgj0UBrZN
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODSXBPTPDJ
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxhzL5rkII
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttPW6RCQCr
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Aw2lTEew
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQLDB8U6L
"You don't own my heart"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCt6vAdd8a
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKXkkUj3pH
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9QONaZsZs
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yf736uPOf
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJMseO585C
"Haha. Very funny"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTORo9qQIOC
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmETqoY40PQ
Finally the man spoke up.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkvundAaIt
"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"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaO2x92BAo
I shrugged my shoulders.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6srhKtxRy
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.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtME4Dzf7w
'But now things are different'
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepnTw2usG1
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHGgTBaBFl
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInB2i2ogj5
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFQCE8jXRx
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFd92drWhb
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtFIbgK96W
