"What?! How dare they?!"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdHp72lLBN
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9TODasBqU
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOWDkHQlAc
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYYFBjjVqb
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4CJ3ONle6
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KyvzGblMZ
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zz0aZ0TM4
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx7AtpSHZq
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH8eXQuCLj
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zvB0IeYXA
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvI5w8pYOw
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr57nL112rK
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ2NpiaPCx
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6bkluLfkM
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnXPOBlxP9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MvEEmkCWO
"You know me far better than that"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokrdTebNkf
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoSLIw1pk2
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSD545kxjP
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwNLaMHoAf

"What?! How dare they?!"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPwCaKVOZQ
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlV45DplJy
"Adria, where's my sword?"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMcsGotpzf
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR76VUa88pO
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39cTRDwoMC
"Adria?"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsfAbBgKMd
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBzZgmqIxv
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2FwFuaefI
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxo20vkJTJ
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0HfDA4XD1
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvL7sX615z
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ylk8sZZnw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctwt8QzrDg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjXXIRusXG
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewb00346w3
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljUY2YfR0g
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONCovL93QD
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvseiCOoE4H
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV3IkaACRB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAprZM0HvvN
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbIkENlWCB
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1ZwUnuhfA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0av3aO86kV
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jtPMBbeJ6
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHk65Swoaj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIwry1PjVS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBt2805ry0
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT69fwUQhgy
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gVM8hpkWZ
"Alright"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoFAAWXCqS
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPI2GYp3hV
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ZCg6nYts
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpUi4RLMcO
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8I3hTCYF9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuSpySSyqf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvAtkCUgqj
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hkTcIrwKi
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK92qGjQFio
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9J9WHV4Cw
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLgWi2m9pq
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIuKPpa4Tn
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPPyVWbE0B
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfHTDdHaxu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzrDmemFJE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dGzTMqwH0
'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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF7p0cvNK2
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySdvJilGum
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDikWSoJhN
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYYM20Rgou
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4as0P5h7LW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNthr0Tp1UJ
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayjHqYe0ox
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w7PrhlGzP
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrVSxea3LG
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1xZWzIF2a
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhehRWRMFdD
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcp4Mm1pnP
"You don't own my heart"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZEwZsPKVa
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43qYDXOzna
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDyrRktsDI
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVTJtWRKap
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQbjPS3QoA
"Haha. Very funny"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU2POxAiwf
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOnCV7DmFc
Finally the man spoke up.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIIHvuteXr
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZHR8s3NYa
I shrugged my shoulders.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvMpOTYIS8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE83BIybPaG
'But now things are different'
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV54WmtWZRe
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrRkkzbM2u
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcBJ7mPZG9
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRUQRjgtZP
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFkSJHFJ52
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
985Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPLj9Rbo7R
