Villainess Becomes The Knight

"Yes, do I know you?" asked the girl as she sauntered in the room. She was not in that rough clothes anymore. In fact, she was wearing the most beautiful gown I have ever seen.

Her hair was curled and set in a sexy bun, with a few tendrils falling over her face and neck. Her honey eyes were shining like the rays of the sun. her lips were painted red. She was looking like a perfect higher noble lady. It was difficult to believe that she was the same girl whom i have met in the dark woods!

"Are you even listening, little girl?" she asked, waving her hand in front of me as I continued to stare at her.

"I mean you are beautiful, my lady." I replied , finally collecting my thoughts.

"Of course, I am. I am the most beautiful girl of this empire." she replied with a chuckle.

She was looking bold, her confidence, her aura was completely different from the meek girl i have met in the past. She was not at all blushing and smiling. In fact, she has a smirk on her face.

"Lady Scarlet?" asked William in a convinced voice.

"Yes, my father informed me that he has chosen you for me. So, I came to see you. Even i want to be sure that you are worth me." she replied boldly as she walked in.

Then she looked at him from tip to toe as if she was scanning his body.

"Hmm, well at least your looks are passable. But it is not enough, I will continue to assess your other qualities too in the meantime." she told him frankly.

If it had been 21 centuries, it would have been a common way to behave the way she did now. But this was the medieval period. Who would have thought that a girl like that existed here too.

Even Josephine was looking at her with interest just like me. William has an amused smile on his face.

"Did I say I have accepted the marriage proposal?" asked William, tilting his head.

"Well, if that is the case then why have you not rejected the proposal? And as far as i know it was your family who have sent the proposal" she replied amused, yet her tone was haughty.

"Well, I have heard a lot about you and that is why I wanted to see you in person. I have not accepted or rejected the proposal yet. This is a good chance to get to know each other and if things go well, we can get married.`` His words surprised me. 

But then when I looked at everyone else in the room, I was still the calmest one. Others were looking horrified by his declaration.

"Very well, then I will come to meet you in the evening." she replied, nodding her head but before she could reach the door, she turned and looked back at him. 

"And one more thing, I do not like crowds much. So, you should better manage the girls without asking someone to play as your lover." she replied looking back at me with a smirk.

"It will not be needed, since you are here now." he replied back with the same smirk.

  Was I the only one who felt that this conversation had something wrong!?

She just smiled and nodded and turned to leave.

"I will see you at dinner. We should take all our meals together so that we can know each other.`` She again instructed him as if she would be the one to rule.

"Sure, i will be waiting." he accepted again, happily.

She finally nodded and left the hut.

"So, it looks like I will not need to act with you. Well then, call your sister for now. You will owe me a favor later." he replied and then without waiting for my response, he turned back and left.

I could only sigh and then left. Just when I reached the door, she was already there.

"Bella." i replied, 

"You were taking a lot of time, so I came to see you but the knight did not let me in." she replied as she looked at Kirian and Lucas.

I signed as I looked at both of them. "Let her in, she is going to live with us." 

They both frowned and let her in when Kirian mumbled.

"We were never allowed to have family or friends in." complained Kirian

"Do you even have friends to invite?" snickered Lucas with a straight face.

"We will have to share a room. Since only two rooms are allowed to us.`` I told her as I saw Oliver following her with our luggage.

"You and Noah will share a room too." I added as I looked at him.

His steps halted for a second but then he gave a courteous smile and shook his head, "I have been allotted a room, my lady. I do not think I should reside here." my eyes narrowed at him.

"Of course, you have been, everyone is assigned a room, but since we work together we should stay together." I announced in the final tone.

"As you wish, my lady. Then I shall go and bring my luggage too." he replied and almost ran out of the hall.

After settling our things in the room, I went to find Noah.

"Noah,"

He turned with his towel in his hands. I looked at him and then at the towel and a chuckle escaped my lips.

His face instantly turned red., "pervert! What are you even doing here?"

"I am here for something important." i cleared my throat and turned serious again, 

"What is it?" he asked, hiding a towel behind him.

'Aww! He is so cute!'

"I want you to keep a close eye on Oliver. I feel that he is hiding something. I have asked a knight to check his background again too.`` I replied in a grim tone.

"Why? Did something happen?" his voice turned serious and I shook my head.

"I always follow my intuitions."
