Avery/Avyanna's Pov
I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Avery Bridge and is currently residing in the Female Lead's body, Avyanna Brooke.
Going back to the current situation.
I found myself being totally captivated by this person in front of me who seemed to want to eat me alive. Which is totally fine to me as long as it is not literally.
"Yelena, what are you doing here?"
My head immediately turned to Roshan with widened eyes and then looked back to the lady who was in front of the gate. I was shocked.
Yelena? This is Yelena Royal? The villainess?
How? How could this little cutie be a villainess?! She doesn't deserve it!
I feel like I was being drawn to her. Something between us is connected, as I approached her, my heart can't stop beating like a drum inside my chest. I felt a little out of breath.
In a minute, I finally went back to reality and started the conversation.
"Ehem." I faked a cough and then smiled at her.
"Good day, Lady Royal."
If I don't know how noble people should be behaving, I might've embarrassed myself. Now, I have to keep my cool and seduce this lady.
"It's not a very good day to me. You're not educating your people right, Miss Brooke. This is very outrageous!" She exclaimed.
Did I say that she's so adorable? No! She's beyond that!
"She's like an ugly guinea pig."
"What?!"
"Ah." I covered my mouth. "I apologized, My Lady. I didn't mean to.. It's just.. You're too cute." I covered my face in shamelessness.
It was so hot, as if all my blood were running up to my cheeks. It was quiet so I took a peak in between my fingers and saw her face turning red.
"Y-y-y-you... You.... stupid woman!" She ran away with that red face and I was left out dumbfounded.
I'll see her again, right? I haven't taken a really good look at her. What a shame.
"Are you okay, Lady Avyanna?" Andie asked me.
I turned to them and smiled, then nodded my head.
"Damn! I've never seen Yelena be so embarrassed! You actually called her an angry guinea pig!" Arci started laughing as if what I told Yelena was a joke.
Well, her frown and pouty lips are what actually made her cute. She also has chubby cheeks which I want to pinch, but I might be dead by then.
"Shall we continue our conversation?" I asked and walked to the gazebo.
I sat down on where I was before.
We started the conversation but my mind wandered in time. Her wavy hair is like the waves of the sea and her two-toned hair reminds me of,
"Sunset."
"My lady? Sunset?"
I was startled and stared at Roshan. I suddenly noticed his eyes were orange.
"You eyes are. They looked like the sunset sky." I excused.
He was flustered and his cheeks slightly turned red. He smiled a little and then the conversation continued.
However, my mind continued to wander somewhere. I can't seem to understand why that villainess kept on lurking inside my mind when I have only seen her once.
Is this what they call love at first sight?

Yelena's POV
I enter our state and stamp my feet. The moment I noticed the vase, I threw it, startling the maids. I grit my teeth in irritation.
"How dare that lowly thing?!" I bit my thumb as I thought about how that lowly girl insulted me.
"I want to say that you're very cute."
My face suddenly becomes warm.
What in the world?
Cute?
Me?
How could she? I feel gorgeous right now!
Everyone agreed on it!
Wait... Does that imply that she thinks less of me because of how I look? That I only appear adorable and she's gorgeous in terms of appearance?
I can imagine her laughing with them right now. Their topic is probably me. If only she didn't sign in as a knight, she wouldn't meet and seduce my fiancé!
An idea pops up in my mind. That's right! She's a knight!
An evil smile forms on my lips.
I immediately went to my father at his office. I knocked three times before entering.
"Father." I called.
As always, he's looking down on the papers like it was all that he had to live.
"What made you come here?" He asked.
"I want to add a participant at the front line on the border." I said in seriousness.
"Do what you want if it'll secure your position as a candidate to the crown." He said not batting an eye to me. "You'll also fight in the war. You better sharpen your skills and return as a war hero."
"Yes, Father. Excuse me." I said and then went out of his office.
The crown is the only important thing to him. Because once I get crowned, I'll be nothing but a living puppet. But at least I was a use to him. Maybe when I ascend to the throne, he'll smile and give me small attention.
I closed my eyes and then sigh. I walked to my room and changed my clothes.
Someone suddenly knocked on the door. I turn my gaze to it.
"Lady Royal, the documents are sent to your office." The voice sounds like the butler, Gazer.
I went to get the door and face the butler.
"I'll read them later. For now I have to train more."
"Yes, Lady."
After that I went to the training field. Holding the sword on my waist I walk with a cold expression making the employees shiver.
I saw some knights also training on the grounds. While observing, some of their stances are wrong but still able to win against their opponent. I guess they are learning and have their own ways to beat their opponent. But demons and monsters are different from humans. They don't have a readable move. Every move is not what you think it is. It's either a counter or an attack.
I concentrated on my own training as I swung my sword back and forth, attempting to defend and strike. I became aware of a presence approaching me from behind. I drew my blade and stopped half way there as soon as the presence came into view.
My gaze became fiercer, regretting from stopping half way.
"Christella."
