Villainess Becomes The Knight

Gerard pov.

The wine was more intoxicating today. The music was more soothing today. Everything was just perfect. With the news of his death, everything would be perfect.

  A smirk formed on my lips thinking how they would be shredded into pieces by the beast in the woods. The horses have long reacted and left them into the woods, so they did not even have any way to protect themselves. It will be natural death for them and no one would ever doubt me.

I took another sip as I closed my eyes and enjoyed the soothing music. I heard a knock on the door and took a sigh of relief. Finally my wait would be over.

"Yes, Luther. I have been waiting for you for a long time. It felt like an eternity had passed. Come in and tell me the good news." my ears were pained by the wait. My eyes are dying to see his body parts scattered all over the forest with blood splattered all over the ground. 

"Aah, what a pain this wait will be!" I mumbled as I took a deep breath.

"My lord" the man came shivering in the room which brought a frown on my face. His face was pale and full of fear. It only meant one thing that.. That bastard was still alive.

I threw the glass on the wall as anger filled my heart!

"That son of a bitch!"

"Don't tell me that he is still alive. Even after being injured that badly, he is still breathing. Ha! Looks like his death was written from my hands! I would personally go and help him in getting relief from that pain!" I spat in anger when the man in front of me flinched and fell on the floor.

"Master.. Master.. His highness is not taking his last breaths." he said with a shivering body.

"What do you mean?" my steps halted at his strange words.

"Except a few minor wounds on his back which will heal in 2-3 days. He did not have any other injury." came the swift reply of the man and then he closed his eyes. As if he was afraid that I would beat him.

"What do you mean? How could that be? I kicked the table nearby and it flew towards the wall too. That beast? Have you planted the beast in the outer corners of the woods where they were supposed to go hunting?" I said as I held his collar and jerked him.

"Yes. Yes, my lord. But they were successful in killing the best. They have brought its dead body to show the palace their bravery. I think it was the three knights who killed it." said the man as he shook like a dried leaf in my hands/.

"That dumb men! I did not know why they… the strongest knights of the empire follow a wastrel like him.`` I threw the man back and he fell on the floor.

"What about the horses, you have given them drugs too, right?" I asked as I crouched just above him and looked straight into his eyes.

"I think his highness has not ridden on the Hundred, the new knight. Though every horse was affected, the main dose was given to only Hundred, to avoid suspicion" he replied and I smiled. At least I got some results from this attack.

"So, you mean to say that the girl died." I nodded my head. "I think it is better than nothing. At least, I did not need to see her haughty face anymore. I always felt so furious when she insulted me in public with her honey quoted words!" She was such an arrogant bitch. Winning her heart was like trying to tame the dragon!

"My.. my lord! That girl is safe too. She also has only some wounds on her back, that's it. They both are even attending the academy starting tomorrow." replied the man.

"How dare you? How dare you fail that badly!? You scum! Did you have any idea what a golden opportunity was! I can not let the day go without shedding blood, if not theirs than yours.`` I replied as I took my dagger out of my waist.

The man crawled back on the floor like a pest!

"No.. have mercy, my lord. I have been working with you for the past two years. I have executed a lot of plans for you." said the man as if that was something worth mentioning.

"This is the reason you need to die, you dumb man. It has been two years and yet you have not planned a single plan properly. He should have died two years two ago. But because of your mistakes, he is still alive and now he has even made a force to protect himself. You wasted so many golden opportunities that you have to pay for them from your blood today.'' I moved toward him slowly.

I love the way he was getting afraid. His fears feed the demon in me. The smell of his pain will soothe my anger.

I sat down and pierced his hands. The blood flowed and fell on the carpet.

"Look what you've done. You have dirtied my carpet." I said , shaking my head as he shrieked in pain.

"There there.. It will be easy after a while." I soothed the man as I cut his leg.

"See, now there is no need to run from your fate." I replied as I looked at the strong flow of blood. The iron stench started filling the room. 

"Pleaseee" the man started crying, holding the other leg as he thought that I was about to cut it next. If only he knew! I used the dagger to stab his stomach this time. And then I moved my hand to create a hole in him.

His eyes widened but before he could speak anything again, i tok the dagger out and slit his neck this time.

"I have thought of enjoying it further but you were creating too much nuisance.'' I replied to the man who looked at me with unbelievable eyes.
