Villain's Will: Redemption

..෴✿۝CHAPTER 40۝✿෴..

Hello :)) I presume you noticed little changes here and there, starting from the cover and a little tweaking from the description. I'm also planning to change the title but I can't find the right one. I'm open for suggestions but my own thoughts were among this long titles. Yeah, to go along with the webnovel feels.

'What do you want, Villainess?'
'Villainess Redemption'

Oh well, I'm here to inform that the title is changing hehe.

This chapter is kinda long. Enjoy reading! 🥴💛💛

Agus stride in wearing a modest outfit, but in closer inspection, the quality of his clothes are topnotch, befitting of his position.

Everyone stood and knelt to show respect for their new Lord .. for the time being..

The warriors was discrete on eyeing Agus, some out of curiosity, some thrilled to meet their captain's family, and some for the sake of having an eye. Though they have different reasons, they share the same idea after taking a glance.

If not for their peculiar iris and silver hair, I doubt that Willow is his offspring.

They don't mean that Agus was not on par with Willow's beauty, it's just that their beauty is sharply delineated. Agus's striking appearance despite being sick was nowhere to be found on Willow's elegant face that was covered by years of staying in the battlefield. Some of them can't even forget the first time they saw Willow. They were stunned to move and they could only blabber in front of a beauty. They didn't even manage to sneaker at the child humorously telling that she's there to fight a war. Though they mocked her afterwards but they soon shut their mouth as they saw her walk her talk.

"Our greetings to your grace, the Duke of Westerland and the master of house Liariaz" they greeted in sync. Willow knew their rough behavior and concluded that they might've rehearsed beforehand. A knowing smile from her irked the warriors but they grinned in return. Willow narrowed her eyes at their cocky smirks with great suspicion.

No, you don't. She thought, guessing that they might rile her in front of his father.

"Rise.. greetings everyone. It is my pleasure to welcome the Victors of Azrian-Senayan war. May our abode be sufficient to meet your satisfaction. I am Agus Liariaz, the current head of Liariaz ducal."

"At the same time, I greet you as the commander of Crimson Knights Order. Welcome. I'm confident that you will live to your reputation, I look forward to more of your achievements. May Hekate continue to bless us all" He raised his goblet and proposed a cheers.

"Iubentium"

"Iubentium"

Agus welcomed them with just the right combination, as the father of Willow, and as an unofficial welcome as the commander.

The dinner was only meant to welcome them as a guest, not an official set up for knighting, so it was sufficient for Damian to speak on their behalf.

"We thank you for the Welcome, Lord Liariaz, it is our pleasure to be a part of the house. Swearing our loyalty might not mean too much as mercenaries but we pledge on our names to never betray the trust bestowed upon us." The moment Agus allowed Willow to take charge of the Order, he already gave his full trust. Thus, whatever Willow decided is considered to be one of his judgement.

Damian's word held stigma for mercenaries which is partly true, they work on the side of money. But what Damian stated was also sincere. This time, aside from the generous amount they will receive from being a knight, they are also partaking in this ruse for Willow but the rough bunch are not vocal enough to say that.
