"What?! How dare they?!"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVPAtXRA93
Harper shouted after hearing the story about my discovery about the relationship between Ronald and Paisley.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaiwBNo1tO
"My Lady, we need to kill them!" Harper once again shouted.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0r7XSGYbI
Harper was my personal maid who I had grown up with.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVBlIbr1O2
Her mother was my mother's closest maid so I and Harper grew up to be close to each other.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAvwzFZCuc
"No need for such extreme measures... " Henry spoke up, trying to calm down his twin sisters fired up spirit.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJVIbpE23v
Henry was Harper's twin brother who had also been my play mate. He was completely different from her.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnFndkqeGo
"Extreme measures? Killing them is a blessing!"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaAW58DLu9
Henry was bewildered about Harper's reasoning and could barely think of what to say.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC58cxOIL0
"What if it's all a misunderstanding? Lady Paisley has been really helped by our Lady and they are really close? "
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5cI79npPK
"A misunderstanding? Are you that much of an idiot Henry?
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd5zZ7M5S5
How can you misunderstand seeing your lover and your sister in your room, half naked while making out?!"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWOogpLNvN
Henry was silenced by Harper's rebuff and turned to me to deal with her vigor.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30840tx6hz
"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"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbwjL080xz
I ended my sentence with a cruel smile and Harper smiled back to.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcqzQzq1iF
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!"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa1Iyk7t3T
"You know me far better than that"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcqke6w0ny
"I thought the lady was becoming... good"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ibUR2oRl
I and Harper both laughed at her joke, while Henry stood by the side, pitying the souls of Paisley and Ronald.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gouBKcJRC
He muttered under his breath. "The Deor household...is really...a scary place"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZUB49IQVQ

"What?! How dare they?!"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTawcb4bYI2
My mother's reaction was similar to Harper's, after listening to my explanation of Ronald's infidelity with Paisley.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LGCawOStG
"Adria, where's my sword?"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cdCb08aGT
Mother stood up, walking too her closet were she kept her sword.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLTdgBb5U1
I quickly held her hand, stopping her from completing her actions.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYD3yif58C
"Adria?"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv8M9j36xf
Mother called me by my nickname, meaning that she was very concerned about me.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwYFM2nxfw
I flashed her a bright smile and brought her back to her seat behind her desk.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b56R0A3ZQ
"Mother, you know I can handle this"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGqtR9fLUE
Marchioness Jessica Deor had married into the Deor family and gave birth to me as her only child.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLe2XSB18E
The Marchioness, my mother, had been a daughter from a wealthy Viscount in the capital.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDUXdGwxe8
Before getting married into the Deor family, she had been a knight of the imperial family.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktHpOLHoty
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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw00LTeozh
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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuuNtR9w6R
Mother stretched out her gloved hand and traced the ends of my cheek with her fingers.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUVXMms8OT
"Oh my baby... are you hurt?"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85UgBTw5Lw
I shook my head and raised the ends of my lips, showing her my evil smirk.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGTvI21STk
"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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENvnOQdIlB
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"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNg98T3K8a
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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qxTXC1zsl
Many migrants and homeless people wander around the outskirts of the Belv territory.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3WZuVoOpV
Our people couldn't just barge into their territory and take away the people.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGETiI5Npz
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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzCFdOIQFw
I had no feelings for Ronald and only saw him as a means to rise in status and door to opportunities.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniWB0OkYvF
I knew about his womanizing habits very well but didn't mind.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuAzokwFAl
Even if we got married I still wouldn't care. To me, marriage was just an official means of take-and-give.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoseL1gNNhX
But seeing Paisley who I had trained, snatching what had belonged to me... I can't just help but feel pissed off!
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpiEfYF0kt
Mother patted my head and flashed her own wicked smile.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw60QBtbDMq
"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!"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPrGEdixnD
"Alright"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxdsmqIdk3
Mother then changed the topic to something else.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN0r3bjUB7
"The war between our Empire and neighboring kingdom has quickly come to an end, after only a month!
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYctV1dS73b
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"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjJBDioE6g
Mother doubted that he could single handedly kill over a hundred people, however, I held different thoughts.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAeup7izYN
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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxFZC6ePD2
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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kYXZePkcW
Paisley was already twenty years yet the Crown Prince Nathan had not ever shown his face to the world.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7FemSNVV6
His identity and look was unknown by everybody.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JROGAVi44
In the novel he was referred to as a monster who could only be calmed by Paisley's innocence.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWWU8iFDqQ
There was a part in the novel were he had destroyed a whole kingdom by himself.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5goHK6oNy
Since this was a fantasy novel, I wouldn't be surprised if the male lead could do that much.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jAHL4btqo
"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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRNhxJy3L9
That will take at least two months so I'm already preparing dresses we'll wear to the event"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdamiiFSkV7
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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdLghNTCG7
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!"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe7jiHBI70
'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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZD7O1FMYV
Many thoughts on how to deal with my newly gained enemies went through my mind.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD5uGwNNf3
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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cp4vC7WOL
"There's no use in hiding. I already know you're here" I said.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXJMTeuW1H
Out of a corner near my wardrobe, a dark figure came up to me.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Onxt7Nmu0
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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlfCDn3yrR
His broad shoulders and piercing silver eyes gave him a domineering presence as he loomed over me.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEywusP4Min
But I wasn't afraid in the slightest. This wasn't the first time he had come into my room in such a way.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ3he9voDO
"You're back so early. I heard that the war just ended" I said.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw5xKh5iNg
The man laughed and sat beside me on the bed. He leaned in close to me and smiled seductively.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8bO0Jpmd6
"I had to be quick and come back. Before someone steals your heart away from me"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pgLqhdn9N
I pushed away his face that leaned in too close to mine.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlhnJ6Xvqf
"You don't own my heart"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgoIfhQusY
"That's how it is for now, but very soon you'll give it to me yourself"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBTpxZGdx0
I smiled and decided to change the topic.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOdk5IVBkz
"What happened that the war ended so quickly?"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj46NzEaQyr
"I happened. Those little rats just had to attack my Empire when I wasn't in a good mood"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TL8x6mh66
"Haha. Very funny"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qq0VOFCH3
The room was silent for a second. The silence wasn't awkward but instead felt natural.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpCk8GXhQL
Finally the man spoke up.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtTpYHZo2N
"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"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucb6eDzIXD
I shrugged my shoulders.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVwSPstJqB
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.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZE04ZOv4l
'But now things are different'
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjP1IHrRWr
"Nathan. I'm breaking up with Ronald"
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKW7zmjyDt
For the first time, surprise appeared on the face of the usually cold Crown Prince.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP5E3KfYSr
Surprise then turned into a sincere smile.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKIjWKlNXk
Only I could currently make the male lead express such colorful emotion.
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECmyOgBX96
Unlike in the original story, the vicious and cold Crown Prince Nathan had fallen in love with me.
