"What?! How dare they?!"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbBfKXwvNs
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbeis1KeSA
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnLMxH76IZ
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfcCXSktmd
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6KLwSVvqc
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEOjhK7Ssh
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjZ9BiTYhh
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZvmBT1Fhc
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDBgmLNdVe
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOoIIwiCtU
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ423hapC4Rb
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EmeYG0VME
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTlxd98a6b
"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"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJU75qYe0o
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKifRAG4ec3
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!"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDd5FtPba6
"You know me far better than that"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC0KLYo9Y2
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRLcXE15C9
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ytL9uS0BD
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsygEENs7vl

"What?! How dare they?!"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DmKYViWT7
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOFc56NoYD
"Adria, where's my sword?"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv1RTs94kf
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy6Xc8TMp9
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7FefD1mcU
"Adria?"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoczTMwbIqr
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bX52pkGnt
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3O7jSSE3B
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDDk0JSbtw
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4IX6UByc7
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTOWIpsftu
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt2ByKKK7u
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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWg7zGyxKx
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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxg9N5ZXJ4
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDaLmrYqcK
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL5ODBM07c
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE1UMn59Ab
"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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCOQvpBbHE
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"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00kbSyjziJ
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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG99MWU8YzF
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQHuNXg2Re
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcU6jWgsUo
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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnUAFXT6MG
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2kf6wjQQy
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqLGEnfeVu
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvYHvk30kx
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPqZJ30xAT
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbAdYXn6Rs
"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!"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8wwXCxkTE
"Alright"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsJuHpjkj0
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTceZwek7Rz
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD7ls0ovOt
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"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cmJlvPkb3
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OvHaygY2h
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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSIg3PcYB5
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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIcG4Wdba9
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2fhSJcRBH
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR9Xojgor3
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJo3fCZdim
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz1bwEbNdc
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVnPBhGtPb
"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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sMgbk98kb
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wOHM2LS34
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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0GpKOCaC4
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!"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSFATgMBij
'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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9evn0NTUXo
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bShoOGZwp
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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G84yoHm3L
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsYJlkEGzk
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwJICdXA1D
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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4k4hnoIYc
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZrGatfs7f
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIQC9Q5wiZ
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodyV4CgG9U
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnol15AxtyU
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIffxzPaCi
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfA62w4WyA
"You don't own my heart"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKPITSmqwz
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpm2o3051w
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgLqO8Z7Vk
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlpOSJEJYx
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngv1AMs2hs
"Haha. Very funny"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYVe7SP9N0
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFrkxMEHAh
Finally the man spoke up.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJC9Du8R7o
"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"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWILbqPzrRc
I shrugged my shoulders.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF66kEqv4fZ
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.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegAmaKGmk2
'But now things are different'
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUuihcJOCc
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPmmgY5HmJ
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr7ynKCZuT
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIuz3d1YO7
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvcxKRqxXg
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWJ6zMY5nk
