"What?! How dare they?!"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsx3EMk6K8
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRtAvhMOEo
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqmCKp2dZN
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7X7Qh2TE0
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MIclMNkFc
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr6k0y98gP
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVPh761kga
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapllFCuBhU
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFMb96Qu8P
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnxEoYFVzQ
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqNZJY26eJ
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pM0Exhgk6
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqgxO2rm3P
"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"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv77Yv8NMoO
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT2qX50Nsv
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!"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SkxhMzwHD
"You know me far better than that"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG2h2GKsmv
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLWumJF57T
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI564PrSZF
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Q3rASP3S

"What?! How dare they?!"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYfI7sDduv
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz9NjmiVlf
"Adria, where's my sword?"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHwJEiLv9R
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IPrXjF8iM
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G3vJh186D
"Adria?"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDYDf7MhKO
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT2joSHyRL
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhKOHEKfBL
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFFxZRfLLJ
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDB1FljoN2
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ftyrdn6n0
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QY5wRYHOL
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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwLfEnjxZ5
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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldm2OBjSBi
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabvZjq0pak
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIqjrLz1XW
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJd5MystIq
"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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBg182AwmD
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"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64iPwK9sRR
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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNMuQAllrx
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJyKStI8Xm
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFv5AIypYo
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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgLtku6tGA
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS53Cmzt8X
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWG644R6fs
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrNJ27Ymn5
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY47cDdXKW
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztCXOIh49b
"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!"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPzzJodM8E
"Alright"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTacseoAOO
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBqwwVGNNM
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngZGwIaWDv
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"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0H01mrrTI
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OGLHLwXZn
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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2XgDNrE1h
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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNPjwTLRTF
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgjRiq3eHt
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhgomLwgkG
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL7ggcdOAX
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA00YbFchAo
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oAdreYO3K
"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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sxFkMDScL
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYDRrz8zM8
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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QuTlI81nd
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!"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRVPxR9KZy
'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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnOYi0qB3q
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROYJ9Nv4pH
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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jjcMtwjYG
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0iF3S7slB
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEBnnnXxEl
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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA6xb0TU0a
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zl3SJln1I
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5hT38DznU
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRa4abaAUt
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgzKmulxy8
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld9r8hh0mt
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI5tVO2Sy5
"You don't own my heart"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKmfStQDcX
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFSUkXkCoG
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NbZ8wuFY5
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdlj74mRXW
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmwQyElFMu
"Haha. Very funny"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpoRT0ilKM
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK54tqOOKks
Finally the man spoke up.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDdyLMjqzm
"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"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HYaBOq6fZ
I shrugged my shoulders.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0wMvGCuYg
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.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zL1ODqjnX
'But now things are different'
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLNY7QNs6n
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0opHXPUny8
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSmJYeOfGu
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ7k7sJXee
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz4npkCSTy
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
