"What?! How dare they?!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mk9xhRJua
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSwgwCBFPJ
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqrzz1Ahkt
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PCQXizxRn
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJo0efYQp1
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMrAzvLtwS
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSRvQkCirZ
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmFL6lVP3i
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvCC2L1UPr
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGljRL7pknc
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6lAejPPvw
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5EooKiKP7
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUACElSW67h
"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"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAax7tMvZUo
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQvmqXjIoj
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!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfDMhkl9Da
"You know me far better than that"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjYQJg6MC0
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9YJr9FqHP
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNHedstlHK
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsJFTcJb02

"What?! How dare they?!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEMsoCFLlc
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDqmqDFJcu
"Adria, where's my sword?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PyTZu964J
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhDfk0z34C
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeBiifIxOZ
"Adria?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj0FiDxEvA
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz3aA0dSNg
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6BSRQ7QEX
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaY4jibrCd
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfY31rCJGL
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLCIovyzVQ
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXS0WezrMx
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO8p2Ip719
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweGFMEqStr
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3wc2DCiQS
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9udYkyUfCP
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6AJUqyTMc
"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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiMXDU3kII
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"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfW1LsPcHI
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbyQ1dfOdi
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0HAQQKgMt
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK8hFpoqnC
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx95mGTwtMo
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmB08GvQjl
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxz6Ngx3d0
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB01FpcY4S
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntHYBKMfNV
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6tr7HUe7J
"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!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg373RVbHJx
"Alright"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSy21GBxNc
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C0febSMB7
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtJaxAv2Y4
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"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTUroXv5O1
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuwt7Ch9WW
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQhGuIb2tm
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3aOoJhZRi
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0js8oRQXaW
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsTjyqaoZq
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVRrbdGtGO
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDirFjsVb8
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkICLMbUXt
"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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCzmNVC9Hv
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBfxPklnX4
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fWMjdC40p
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!"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MNmVcCYDn
'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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrhMUA05vq
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuzihZbK6U
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYGUJ5hB13
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQuQ13zIvY
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62u2dob8By
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl4oIdnEd9
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfAXiiK7qa
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIblVT5Fyg9
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiuADOt2mU
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7qEOYPEFp
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSFLKUvIZZ
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqokvMndGb
"You don't own my heart"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9PDEJ4OYq
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctLqjCEbJe
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2YVFFCNHF
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1to0sejTv
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsThQH1x5g
"Haha. Very funny"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd62K0MchGi
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq0OrZwZyj
Finally the man spoke up.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s3ZfxXh8o
"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"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjj9DGGW1A
I shrugged my shoulders.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPmwLApAD0
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.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcYrX8YrRe
'But now things are different'
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5sFazAHAA
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTFO04ZM8W
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbA0LEC4x2
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBKlB7aod1
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoq5mxDxpq
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
