"What?! How dare they?!"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStSLo62r6U
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfk4s9yLl4
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByI6U9uoC5
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j38xnMdeV
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UNHKBRT6a
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSieFVSAVN
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WpsogXrUi
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzZivFBdE2
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B3sqMVz8h
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVb41vmmky
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI0kSXgs2g
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGDNIQrOpo
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GoKcoGrtp
"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"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sFS9Ls7Hf
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0mAHukLIn
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!"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzuvHpOqDh
"You know me far better than that"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBT0EHscHy
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr38tz1olh4
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PL2WxcT21
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSHnQMh0jC

"What?! How dare they?!"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMfLPst8wX
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz4mMzqCHV
"Adria, where's my sword?"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSbd1AfSLt
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcgOvm5PP3
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXRuCuWwsI
"Adria?"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2SralM4ti
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3JQWMMkUC
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcQhMeiPm9
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5QJKvAqpy
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1xZ2uoxxG
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡephc71zUtw
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5xiZLgJQ4
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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt3YJgwCLg
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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1HsCSqt6g
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUDui0zCiz
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJFj7Cwqw5
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoGnNYwtmn
"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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKkzYvHpWL
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"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZQ7KRUwul
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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcy9vX1uw4
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ky9JEsKvk
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnhiToy6wq
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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VBJer8n6f
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY28LUcBf0
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMtbEWsWW2
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CvY60K9jz
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLXgUWLIKD
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8WuNOEyTc
"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!"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3BkWFOinZ
"Alright"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBElqIjVxT
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiRc5SvLWx
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaeiJSfCeP
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"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Vsji9IRo
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwfmQceSsQ
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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdyv37dXVi
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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrANoa3E5UJ
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNVHCPgIjT
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UBueh82uz
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsznUUiHby
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNLjoVAwGy
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSMbZAWJn4
"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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPfk4xGePd
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f78lZTIBV
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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKWgaeQEQI
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!"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21hX24Afxi
'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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rreEFZ5DX
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmpodZOpNc
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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Eg5R2mu2
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFowcxaXxW
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjQjdtmvZb
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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQm0Uo8Svh
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GVm4UNvsk
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEVnNPGLnv
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyRlDqVQ9o
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJSOx03ZBt
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU43zb226d
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2yOqlcVrf
"You don't own my heart"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM4fxq0mBt
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16whUuM1WH
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1dVob2wQe
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu0C0d50Rp
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71AMhT13Mr
"Haha. Very funny"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDQjNJE2bH
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9NFH49kCw
Finally the man spoke up.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOg96aopTC
"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"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG6cfuHccB
I shrugged my shoulders.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpd6eKFU7g
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.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8chBlNAnk
'But now things are different'
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzel9UK02tB
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeYr2nqxxz
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJljOnOWezr
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLRPbXbeYC
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
984Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqB9J4bB56
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
