"I'm in love with Paisley. And there's nothing you can do!"

'Ha...so that's how it is? '

I looked at my scumbag fiance who was shouting at me while holding another lady protectively.

This lady that he was holding, went by the name of Paisley. 

This lady that went by the name of Paisley was my half sister who was the daughter of my father's mistress.

This lady that went by the name of Paisley was the person who I had protected when the whole society was against her.

"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sister... I-I didn't know when I fell in love with Ronald! It just happened. You don't need to be mad! After all, he never really loved you..."

Paisley stuttered as she spoke to me. Tears forming inside her eyes with a guilt ridden expression. 

She looked like a pitiful and innocent creature. 

Paisley was good with this look. Of course it was a given for the heroine of this novel I had reincarnated into. 

[I Shall Save My Knight] was a story centered around Paisley, the illegitimate daughter of Marquis Deor. She had been raised as a commoner until the age of ten were she was brought into the Deor household. 

Upon discovering about Paisley's existence, the Marquis' wife and daughter began to bully and torment Paisley. 

Six years passed with the endless torture at the Deor mansion and Paisley officially turned sixteen. It was then that the plot of the story began. 

It was the really cliché trope of the innocent Protagonist catching the eye of a prestigious young man. 

Paisley and the Crown Prince of the Empire fell in love at first sight. 

Paisley's half sister who was a crazy admirer of the Crown Prince could not stand for this and began to scheme Paisley's doom. 

Thus Paisley's half sister plaid the role of the villainess in the story.

Meaning I am the villainess of the novel - Adrianna Deor. 

After reading the novel and dying in my first life, I somehow got reincarnated into it with all my memories intact. 

I woke up as baby Adrianna in the arms of my mother, Marchioness Deor, and from that moment onward every action I took was to enable me to have a stable future. 

When Paisley was brought into the Doer mansion, I cared for her and protected her from the fangs of bad people. 

I looked out for her at tea parties and events, making sure she did not make a mistake and tarnish her image. 

I acted like the kind sister, far different from the original villainess yet in the end, this is how I am repaid? 

"You don't need to explain yourself to her! She's not worth it!"

My scumbag fiance, named Ronald, held Paisley lovingly and cleaned the tears away from her eyes.

It looked like the perfect scene between two lovers. But in reality it was plain disgusting.

Just imagine the feeling of disgust when you come back from an outing in a good mood, going to show your sister a lovely necklace she had asked you to purchase for her, and you walk into your sister and your lover making out, in your room!

"Ronald... "

Their clothes were strewn all over the floor while Paisley looked up at Ronald with eyes full of love.

'Utterly disgusting'

Crash.

I threw the necklace I was holding to the ground, its shards shattering around on the floor.

'Glad I didn't buy it with my own money'

I put out my foot, stepping on the broken necklace, further crushing it.

"Pfft"

I suddenly broke into hysterical laughter.

Ronald and Paisley stopped their show of love and looked at me alerted, seeing me suddenly laughing like a lunatic.

They didn't seem to get how funny this situation is.

"I sometimes hear when people say they were bitten by their own dog. 

I always wondered how that was possible. Like, how can a dog that I trained, turn on me? But now I understand"

I covered my mouth with my hand and gazed at Ronald and Paisley that were confused.

The look on my face seemed to pity them.

"Ronald I always knew you were a scumbag, but.. Paisley, my dear sister?"

Paisley flinched under my condescending gaze. 

I smiled and spoke to her. "You've made your decision and now there's no turning back"

I turned around with those words and exited from the room, but with one last sentence.

"I'm sending some servants in to clean this place...so better wear your clothes in order not be embarrassed"

Clk. I closed the door shut behind me.

Adrianna Deor had been the villainess of the novel [I Shall Save My Knight] that was fated to be executed due to her crimes of endlessly torturing and scheming against the heroine.

But after being reborn as her, I of course did not sit back and wait for this horrible fate.

In order to get favour and opportunities, I took care of Paisley the heroine, like a loving sister.

My plan before had been simple:

When Paisley meets the Crown Prince and they fall in love, I'll be carried along as the sister of the Crown Princess, living a luxurious life given to me by wealthy brother in law. 

I'll be given a simple life as I move to the country side after the plot has ended.

At the country side I would make various wines and try different blends. Open a new wine business under a different company name, from the one I already own. 

Maybe I'd even take my mother, Marchioness Deor with me. Though I doubt she'll want to leave behind her splendid life of the Marchioness of the South.

But now, all these plans had been disrupted by my fiancé who I had helped and my sister who I cared for her.

Many ways on how to deal with them, went through my mind. But none seemed possible.

My scumbag fiancé, named Ronald, is the young lord and heir to the Belv Duchy of the South.

He's known as the most excellent bachelor in the South due to his fine looks and powerful family background.

I, a mere daughter of Marquis Deor could not take him down and punish him severely. Well...that would have been the case if I were the original Adrianna from the novel.

Currently, I, Adrianna Deor, owned and managed many businesses. Each being known around the South as very influential brands thus forming a business Empire. 

The name of this business Empire is 'Wine'. Which is notably my favorite drink. 

Though my identity as the owner of 'Wine' is unknown to many, I have a very popular image here in the South.

Adrianna Deor — the innocent social butterfly. My reputation was that of an innocent and kind lady who donated to the poor and treated those of lesser status kindly.

I was known to be weak willed and a pushover.

Of course this was all just an act to gain the love of many people and be able to unexpectedly attack my enemies who underestimate my capabilities. 

Who am I really? Well, I'm barely no different from the original cruel and evil Adrianna.

It's just that I don't go around bullying others who have not done anything to me.

"But when you do something to me, I'm afraid things won't end up being so pretty... "

From this moment onward, I threw away my plan of living a peaceful life at the country side.

It was time to deal with all these trouble makers and take what's rightfully mine. 

"This story needs its villainess back"
