Villainess Becomes The Knight

Chapter 5 - Pass The Test



I had long closed my eyes as I was lost in the thoughts, my fingers were clenched and my eyes were burning from the fire to take revenge.

But for that I needed to be strong, this weak and fancy body of a 15 year old girl was not enough to fight with him even when he would be only 20 too.

Because he was still higher in ranking and physical strength to me. But soon, I will soon make him cry tears of blood.

"My lady"

I opened my eyes to see Beth standing there. she bent down to wish me. But I could feel her shaky body. There was a plate of fruit in her hand and a few snacks on the tray in other hands.

"Beth"

Beth was the one who had served me since the day my mother had died, she was 19 years older than me, she had taken care of everything I ever needed, since my mother died, but i had never behaved well with her

I smiled looking at her, but my eyes were still red from the anger and tears I had shed in a while and her smile made it not any better.

"Yes, my lady" she asked me as her head was still on board, because I never liked defiance or so had I told them.

I had always treated maids as something lowly, like dirt as they work lowly and commoner, but now that I had seen how difficult it was to find a maid in the modern world, and how hardworking they were, my views on them had changed, and so has my respect toward them.

"I know my lady, you find it difficult to get up early in the morning. But I couldn't have denied lady Isabella. I apologise for my mistake, you can punish me as you please" said the lady bowing her head further.

I could feel her shivering. My red eyes must have scared her. Though she was much older to me I was still a noble through and through.

Often in the past, I used to take out my anger on the maids. Beth has been my maid since the longest time as the loyal maid of my mother.

In just the first year of serving me, I spent all the time complaining about the things I have been forced to endure.

Their behaviour and clothing show my harsh treatment to my serving staff. The way she is shivering, she must be sure, I will give her a harsh punishment.

I really lived my image as a villain. All the staff expect to be scolded immediately for making minor mistakes. I even punished the staff for the orders my step mother or my father give them to inform me as I was never satisfied with them.

"My lady," I heard her quivering voice. Only then did I come back to my senses.

"Beth, I want a strong massage of my body and then a long bath with rose water." i replied, it had been ages since i had enjoyed my life as royalty, in the modern period everything was so costly and i took birth in a middle class family of doctors, i even treated patients who are puking all over,

I felt so much dirt and filth all over my body, only thinking about it made me nauseous, all of the life i worked there, but now i was back, back to get my revenge and then live here peacefully in all the luxury.

I just have to do two things, convince the crown prince to kill Gerard before he could usurp the throne and protect his life from the upcoming dangers. It should not be that difficult as I had been trained as a knight in my previous life and had learnt all kinds of martial arts in the modern world which had not yet been developed.

I opened my eyes with strong determination when I saw Beth was still standing there, unmoving.

"Is there any problem?" I asked , tilting my head. I had a long list to do before I got a chance to meet the crown prince.

"I apologized to my lady, but the duchess had instructed us to cut the amount of luxuries for you, as you had failed the test again." she replied with a barely audible voice, afraid that i would take my anger on her.

But I did not seem to remember what she was talking about, "which test are you talking about, Beth?" i asked confused and she blinked,

"My lady, your academy test. You are needed to pass the test to join the academy. Her highness had ordered us that if you would not study and sleep all day, then you are not going to get any luxury to enjoy this whole year." she replied and took two steps back,

"Great, now I have to keep my revenge aside and pass the damn exam. I am a qualified doctor for Christ sake, and here you are worried about a punny little test. I can pass it even with my closed eyes.'' I mumbled under my breath as she looked at me confused.

"What are you talking about, my lady?" she asked, confused as she saw me mumbling, "Are you feeling unwell, shall I call the physician?" she asked worried and I shook my head.

"No, just bring all the books for the test, lets get over with it, before doing anything else," i said with a sigh as i sat down on the leather chair again, my step mother the duchess of empire just needed a chance to cut my expenses and then add it in Isabella's expenses.

Now that she had seen me sleeping on the book, she would surely go and complain, and then I would have to suffer further, better that I finish it early so that I could start my training as a knight.
