Regressor Villainess of the Headley Northern Military Academy

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Waking up from my short slumber, my body feels ecstatic and energized once more.

I recalled what happened earlier. Just thinking about it feels refreshing as I have completely eliminated one thorn stuck in my throat.

My enhanced hearing was gathering different noises every second from the surroundings, I sorted it out to hearing gossips from the maid, the most efficient way to gather information around the mansion. My calculations are right, they were all talking about the missing Adrian and what I did earlier.

For reference, I didn't made that move without thinking about the consequences of my actions.

What would I gain from killing Velle as well as handicaps that would be placed on me?
I thought carefully about my actions.

First, the maids could no longer be carefree, having their leeway looking down and sneering at me. I'm actually quite ticked off by their treatment on me, and I don't plan on quietly letting it pass without  a payback. I don't plan on being always the receiving end, nor do I plan to overlook it. Im no saint or a damsel in distress.

But not only the treatment from the maids would change, the butler would also be more cautious of my actions. Im sure he was dying to know more about my secrets since he personally saw a different side of me when i killed Velle. Butler Milan could not carelessly act as he please in front of me anymore. After all, I plan to deal with them sooner or later whenever I get the chance.

I just have to wait for the right timing.

He should be careful. Because im vengeful.

But because of the rumors about me circulating word by word, others would also focus their eyes on me. That means the eyes that was watching me would increase, and would make me be in constant setback as it would put a restriction on my movements. It would be much harder to escape out of the castle by tonight because almost all of the knight orders are around the mansion.

Im sure they would tighten the security because of Adrian's disappearance.

Even so, its not like I don't have other ways to get out of the mansion, it's just that I need to be more careful and prepare some countermeasures in case something unexpected happens.

Arriving at that conclusion, my mind stopped thinking too much about it. Straining my mind too much would  not be  good for me.

"Oh, right. I still haven't read the books i bought yesterday."

Since I don't have anything to do by this morning, I might as well spent my free time gaining more knowledge.

10 books appeared into thin air in front of me, it came from my spatial ring. I also brought out 3 pieces of bread because i still haven't eaten anything yet since this morning.

With the books towered up in front of me, i started reading them one by one while filling up my stomach at the same time.

—knock knock

"Come in"

At his permission, an old man wearing a neat gray suit walked in.

—creaakk

The Duke, who was looking at the documents piled up on his table paused writing for a moment, then he spoke in an icy voice without lifting his head up to check who just entered the room.

He expected the person to come after he summoned the man into his office.

"Your Grace."

The butler called.
He patiently waited for the Duke to speak.
