"What?! How dare they?!"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrR4Liianb
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTHlXAABjh
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIhQMR0542
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTldChI32Ut
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0YyRnIIqZ
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp7ZjTwnqw
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nnUp0BjJI
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoWN6q32cm
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbUOk0Pwin
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka9d38WXPY
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv7lcq8AHT
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNcQbfJged
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy48QP4zP0
"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"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLxRO16MD1
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IYtht6VFG
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!"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkW5ab41o3
"You know me far better than that"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9msRsQmiMj
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lQ1AitHbz
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8rXxIvfna
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLKPh2Xb8x

"What?! How dare they?!"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIXlVQoCpt
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCdI6G1mZp
"Adria, where's my sword?"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzFszX0yEW
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3TXKgJvtW
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Qf3j10GU
"Adria?"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBwvwvFopN
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS1ytkrTNW
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DzbOmSmqu
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojoG1yk3f8
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPYOqc9LWZ
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunqZpM8fTR
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPPSCKWWlC
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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujuOFqMuhJ
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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd19gTr2kWw
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINewRchzoP
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zcSbigEGV
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9K7T9IM8F
"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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hxOFMn8do
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"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVKQBhsURX
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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKaSU2RGTv
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Bum9iPBm
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEmunEL0n2
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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0caHbU50O
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXhCqSm27I
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCENevMfeQ
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D8jaYceRy
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz5axk95n6
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPUlyRamHk
"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!"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRXdRpF517
"Alright"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZGugKOzD7
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8mSvjQvuY
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldm3VFqVc6
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"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhovS3LIH9K
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktQtslCjoW
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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdLrozSERH
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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjY22Cwmxw
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vdphRx1la
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycSBGPsKDx
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiLFjboIAB
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXCh2Kvtg8
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6xTynqYm4
"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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ0RB5ztbX
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxdGEt0Rlg
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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC5HjCF0w4
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!"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDCltzAUIt
'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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwANu3fI21F
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW0kZThJ3e
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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtWhC6uVjy
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U8Th2p0yt
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUP5jDcRus
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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGFJBVBFUJ
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD52OlVJbXB
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz15yHWwHwl
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqMbOYVWnR
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGnWGjJl0C
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7BJGtDfnR
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGEx1kVHjc
"You don't own my heart"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mp3ZJ9uJK
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zMIGGjWTm
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oRj0w8Ubs
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxxbpvpXdW
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPGnyCl9Nx
"Haha. Very funny"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg9YaMsoDR
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROxXYGQ8zt
Finally the man spoke up.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W5KodUuxL
"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"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG5vMjFmAX
I shrugged my shoulders.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLuMo0bqSc
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.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii5RFuliyo
'But now things are different'
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS9PjQQYcP
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrXXPkqRdZ
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSeNEy4fJH
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTXwK5iWJy
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDwjFvaqfK
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
