"What?! How dare they?!"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFhobqfqhh
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPsTfQjY1o
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEPlwuWsOU
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocvECKtwGt
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uY2LjSamI
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcKyXpnvyO
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63sFYEGE8H
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdxauOwqXQ
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevQYqgns0k
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbimj0hpU9b
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOO3GZXH9S
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR9IxWqkPZ
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bDVNjm0b3
"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"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW9R7pMMCq
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4ONgKjewq
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!"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY72qUVS0U
"You know me far better than that"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsxUMEAsOl
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM8uDTyqif
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpreePo9Dq
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOGAVk1JKs

"What?! How dare they?!"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO2v3sMUkV
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEKA9maubG
"Adria, where's my sword?"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrjVPBXSYV
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp2Bp6BfpF
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZpXSni2xi
"Adria?"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONDel4087x
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVbQyaZGAk
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7V6oqt10D
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2v4EC6NUW
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVlpXt8Nel
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hOYGdSzk4
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwUNzNAzmQ
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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvHwbAzxMD
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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz86oyze8L
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEXMXnYaNy
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhkOlV0K3A
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ6sADH3di
"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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDteqcfeIDQ
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"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey2kOkLuvX
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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJwX0GJOzf
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo9uSEW4lY
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuo9VL178K
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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59J3wZuPLO
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuKXbIsia7
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uxbBzlhVz
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpzzGb1vxA
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp96kfI0Oi
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZZICdumQU
"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!"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCpbLVSL9p
"Alright"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOTHbrve3c
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBi2Rp7Dac
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrwXNoyoqu
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"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv0D8sksox
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF3sWMoWo9
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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AEGGh2tV4
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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK32vdyl9BI
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDXxVOF6vm
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4YkgPB76z
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZrHRu63L6
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0xLHY0o45
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X2uUEWBe3
"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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFAA7chxIM
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNWQde7at6
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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ184ovtAg4T
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!"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBXSgod9zp
'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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUimqryJ1Gz
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCH7VZVrgt
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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFgYoZByN1
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjb3EzBJOv
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPKNiDsedE
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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB85PlNTpUV
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKCdQxfXoi
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDR0fEu7Nt
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGt12n1RNY
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiFDXq8TPs
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vKUz5sAgg
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vb8ZzctX9
"You don't own my heart"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XONq2zowd
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ9qH9OQVK
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0V7usBvhZ
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPbbHobHpN
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHd0ethbSY
"Haha. Very funny"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlaommwwVN
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpNGwUKbqM
Finally the man spoke up.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhWKwCuKkX
"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"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT7BJmCoKH
I shrugged my shoulders.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptg97b3IIC
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.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjm3Yqccm8
'But now things are different'
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs1liBipzE
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygqSkSigvF
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpF67VxFob
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUtAddlOaZ
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTww3BGnMKd
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
