The Villainess

Chapter 22

JULIETTE

And so the day has come...

I don't know but for some reason, I begged Elsie to tighten my corset. But when I first came here I don't want this damn thing corset!

Leave alone with only my bra...

But now for I don't know why I like to tighten my corset until I can't even breathe! Yeah, exaggerating much.

For 3 weeks, I and the two ladies from house Archam and Boureborn had been the best of friends. The two ladies get along very well and the way lady Adelle speaks with her informal way amuses us. We three are comfortable with each other in such a short period we've been together. So as result, we three will go to the tea party being hosted by the heroine of the novel!

When everything is okay I went down to greet the two ladies who are waiting for me. I stay up too late so I woke up a bit late.

"Good thing you are done, I am getting bored and my butt hurts already." Lady Adelle said with her bored look. I giggle, she never fails to amuse me...

"I am very sorry to hear that." I apologetically said.

"My, of course, she needs to take her time. We will accompany her on a battlefield you know." Said lady Lizbeth.

Lady Adelle looked at her with shock on her face.

"You will go to a battlefield dressed like that!?" Adelle said and pointed at my dress as if its one of the wicked things in the world.

"Gosh, stop it, Adelle, I didn't mean a literal battlefield! Social gatherings are considered battlefield for young ladies you know."

I only nodded at everything she said. It's true. In social gatherings, you need to tighten your corset and master the art of smiling. Because behind the smiles they have, a knife is already pointing at your throat. One mistake and they already get ahold of you in their lion den...

I am surprised that a young Lady knows this. Time check I am still 15 years old and these ladies are 15 as well.

"Oh, so that's what my maid Annie said when I went to my very first social gathering. I misunderstood her so I bring a sword with me that day..."

We laugh our ass off when Adelle tells us how her first gathering goes. I am glad I met someone like her. When everyone is ready, we all rode in a marvelous carriage owned by Lady Adelle. She's a daughter of a duke anyways, and so I am lol.

While on the way to the castle we are having a conversation.

"Do you guys know the lady of Hapsham?" Adelle started, oh dear here she goes again with the things she finds hilarious about the girls she often sees.

"Oh yes, of course, she a noble daughter of a Baron right?" Lizbeth replied. Adelle nod at her.

"Yes, that girl. I remember clearly when I was a little girl, father sent her to the mansion to be my friend and I remembered calling her a Farting monster."

I covered my mouth to stop myself from laughing. How can she say that!?

"What the hell Adelle?" Lizbeth said with tears in her eyes because of laughing too hard.

"What can I do? I was young that time and the girl fart too much..."

As far as I remember, that girl is a maid now in someone's house. But I know she works for the Shield's house.

"Anyways, can I ask something." they both look at me and nod telling me to go on and speak.

"Can I ask the houses of dukes in the kingdom?"

"I thought the lady already know of it?" Lizbeth said and tilted her head.

"Of course I don't."

"Well, The Sword is my house, Boureborn. The Spirits are yours, Fitoria. The Shield, Hoeveria and the Magic, Peruevia." said lady Adelle.

Some memories came flashing in my mind and saw two women with such beautiful looks.

Yes...

Now I remember...

The Lady of Shield... Lady Aria Von Hoeveria

The Lady of Magic... Lady Rozvette Ursulia Peruevia

My escape targets...
