Author's pov;
Leticia walked to their training area, She saw the men that helped her. She dashed over to meet them.
Leticia was running towards them when one of them noticed her. "Why are there so many trios in this place?" she wondered as she dashed towards them.
As he leaned against the wall, the blond announced, "Oh hey guys, it's the princess." "IT'S THE PRINCESS!" exclaims a different male, with black hair and minty green eyes, as he returns his sight to Leticia.
"Greetings" Breathing heavily, Leticia remarked, and they bowed in response. The knights appear to be serious about their work.
"Of course," she replied with a warm and cheery smile, "I baked you some cookies as a thank you for earlier."
"It's not that big of a deal; it's just our work," the blonde adds, hesitating to accept them. "It's not that big of a deal," the one who had been silent since I arrived says. He changed his mind and said, "Oh! We'll be honored as well."
Leticia assumed the black-haired man with the golden eyes despised her, but in actuality... He was enthralled by her, particularly her smile.
.
Leticia didn't get any sleep... As if it were all a dream, she decided it would be fine to stay up all night reading books and not sleep at all. She paused in the hallway and yawned, not expecting anyone to be nearby.
"Good morning, sister," the oldest brother said as they crossed paths, Leticia didn't notice him until she walked past Leticia's older brother.
"You've never greeted me since I was born, Crown Prince," She said quietly enough for him to hear, What's with the change of mindset?" She wondered
"Sister, what happened?" he asked, his gaze falling to the ground. '? Leticia was unsure what the original brother asked. Leticia said, "What do you mean, your royal highness?"
"I meant, what happened to the old you?" he replied, "Your highness before I answer, let me ask you a question first."
'According to the novel, you were the villain who prevented the female lead from investigating the cause of my death, despite the fact that it was clearly everyone's fault.' He knows that if the female lead exposes them, they will be despised by everyone.
"Go on, sister."
He looks like he wanna listen, 'you are quite a curious one, aren't you..?'
"Would you still make me feel like this is worse than hell if I stayed as the old me, 'brother'? I always forgave you until there was nothing left inside of me."
Leticia wept, but it wasn't because of her. It was from the actual Leticia because she's not sad, angry, joyful, or disappointed, she felt nothing
"That..."
Of course, you can't respond to that, he said. Because it was evident that you couldn't answer, I already knew you couldn't.
"Brother, I was afraid to trust anyone because of this family; I was afraid to open up; I constantly wondered if you would be okay if I died; this place felt like a prison to me."
Leticia's eyes well up with tears; she couldn't label it hers because she wasn't the real one, but her brother appears to hold his tears
"So you see, 'brother', If I kept being the old me, It would've killed me, it ruined me, brother." I smiled while shedding tears
Leticia moved away, trying to wipe her tears away, and while doing so, She ran into a tall person.
"May I inquire as to what is the matter?" a towering figure remarked, unable to identify who it was since her vision was fuzzy, but his voice was soothing, "It's none of your concern so go away," She muttered bolted after.
...
I began to slow down in order to calm myself, and I reduced my feelings to nothing. Taking a position in front of the kitchen door
"Why haven't you made my breakfast yet?" I said, "W, well, your highness, t, the emperor of this kingdom wants to eat with you." The chef responded,
"Why haven't you notified me about this?" I frowned. Have none of you learned anything?
The entire room fell silent.
They were most likely attempting to humiliate me by refusing to meet me with my father.
I took the plates and went on a plate throwing rampage, laughing as I did so.
"Your highness! What are you doing?" he exclaimed as the maids screamed and the chefs tried to calm me down.
As the guards opened the doors, I calmly stated, "Those who lay a touch on me shall be executed," my eyes glowed.
"Oh, and kill everyone who works in the kitchen." I've always wanted to try this; being powerful is fun, and wrecking everything while dancing
in the kitchen is even better.
"Your highness! We ask for forgiveness!" weeping on their knees to me, "I have a family to feed!" I was just joking about killing them, I simply wanted to watch them all cry on their knees, "Your highness! We ask for forgiveness!"
"Get up, because I'm in a nice mood because you cried, and you'll be forgiven, but know that the next time this happens, I'm not going to be merciful."
"Also, there's no need for me to change." Leticia's father isn't concerned with what she wears anyhow; she doesn't have any spectacular gowns.
.
I bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I heard you wished to see me."
He yelled angrily, "What are you wearing?"
"Clothes." I replied, looking confused
"Isn't it appropriate for you to dress modestly for your meeting with your father?" the oldest asked
"Haven't I mentioned that your royal highness has never acted like a father, even once?" "And why should I bother to dress modestly when you don't buy me dresses, and IF Sister does give me some of the old outfits that don't fit her, you won't care, your highness?"
"... you may sit down," His Majesty said
"May I inquire as to why you have called me, ?"
He explained, "I heard you wanted to acquire swordsmanship, but that's not how a noble should act."
"Why should I bother if no one treats me like a noble, even though I act and seem like one?" I wondered.
Silence...
Sire merely glanced at his dish for a few seconds before eating, while I started eating.
Yes, that is harsh, but it is insufficient in comparison to how he handled Leticia.
.
I told the general, "His majesty agreed."
"I won't treat you any differently than the knights," he sighed, "so it'll be strict."
"I never requested that you be gentle with me." I smirked
.
"Your highness," a butler remarked without knocking, "you've been invited to a banquet." What is it about this place that everyone is still so rude?
I sighed, I rolled my eyes and said, "Don't you have hands? Do you want to cut them off?" I was in a good mood at the time, but he wrecked it, so I'm not exaggerating.
"I... I genuinely apologize," he stuttered.
"I'm going to meet Father right now; please guide me to him."
.
I slammed the door open,
"Greetings, little sister," the 2nd older brother said as he stood up.
"I need new gowns, Emperor; I've been asked to a ball." Ignoring the second eldest brother
"Sister, you're in front of Father! Even if you don't know good etiquette, you should behave properly in front of Father!"
"How irritating."
I approached Leticia's older brother.
"What do you think you're doing?" He asked
Laughing and employing Leticia's wicked magic. I made him believe that I had murdered him.
For a few seconds, Father yelled, "Enough! Both of you!" and soon after, Leticia's brother gasped for air.
