"What?! How dare they?!"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiovbIxKtTq
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuitVHe6HgE
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeouf2aLvvY
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lpO46e3xE
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiMCe6WPQZ
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUASGg8epW7
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqwT6OIKaD
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIY05tPxyg
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQVHAha6LB
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRLZAUkHwy
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8pmQT92RW
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0PLJpGtFx
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlwsUa3Qzo
"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"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bb34nd5ct
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1Lu8iK7wW
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!"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8s7VhCr9x
"You know me far better than that"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDZLOuofpM
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrnV9gdOh5
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt1V6IZP92
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNN4ieelpP

"What?! How dare they?!"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtbc4yjpuZ
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYT3Vv7EE3
"Adria, where's my sword?"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4V0wiyoDu
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pFUFEHcuO
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9e7UXN7cc
"Adria?"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKntCOHUjWe
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexHr3CDeGz
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc79zI8RWwM
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoVyYuoyHz
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUsoX4Jjlr
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY8djB5tik
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh50BnSABM
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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cteR6IiSs
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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf7TrAW223
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ373NQIKw0l
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC58988haQA
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1E5jHWLU3
"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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALKv9DqpnV
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"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mjsF0lLo5
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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGswekZTD2
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpDjp0Tx9R
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfXQhDM9ff
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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuVvzKDxLw
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCzOy5laMK
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpXuYjk4PP
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuD6nuiA08
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMdfND4ovF
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdhcHVaxXY
"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!"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz8TdNliYJ
"Alright"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjYKseqMm2
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzStJ09s2W
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uKSfBjrdl
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"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxGbHkuEub
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCGszP9G1M
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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4llb0Wmf4T
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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4zLIdvtLn
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZLe24rJgl
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvlPoIjNA8
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuqqIBrvaF
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jGgRDT5X2
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPFIfVjgqv
"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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92zQWtrb11
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXu8HzmXnv
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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE8UshMWsX
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!"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppXqTF7avp
'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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZFGOWsfrV
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMMagoOrwn
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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx81T3TWNl
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs9Sp8ovdv
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov9nVq03OE
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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rm5Cni18E
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4OkBzAtlF
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUT0D0L30X
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLyp0jvMc8
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ49h7e24l
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsKerwUnpA
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jClY3BSBv
"You don't own my heart"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdQg9KPzAJ
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4tFG8vQoW
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvfdqOAbYb
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1x7cScujM
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tLPv0MbYY
"Haha. Very funny"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLZ6mCmX2O
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5gkVvPvYK
Finally the man spoke up.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg3bOKqHq9
"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"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD8pppAnjE
I shrugged my shoulders.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUEGNa6IXq
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.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtP0d7ZamG
'But now things are different'
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtdkUhU8RO
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyGg9RsVbR
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGKr0mY2PU
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN7LpWntyV
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMjdSVm3fF
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
