The Villainess is coming home

Chapter 20

      A/n: 20 chaps lezgooo! 3k chapter for this special occasion!

      What the hel? Have you ever seen lord Zane fight like that? No, I don't. This is the first time I have seen him fight like this. I thought at first as well! I thought she was just pretending to use one, never know she was this good. "Preposterous. There is no way she can fight."

Kyrie whispered beneath his breath as he marched slowly towards the two. Rivaled against Zane? Has the bloodline of royalty fallen so low to be compared to a woman?? She is a phony! A fake! She only beat me for using such dirty tricks!

If it were an honorable duel, there is no way I could lose! Kyrie almost growled as he was forcibly reminded of the humiliation he endured. Sure, he did not help the situation as he simply watched in amusement, but who in their right mind would lash out for such trivial matters?

It was a prank! A muse to entertain his bored and rigid life and yet it warrants him to be beaten down and humiliated in front of hundreds? It was unacceptable! Nay! It was treason! Kyrie had to put her back in place before the dignity of the royalty could be sullied any further.

"Brother wait." Kyrie paused as Leo grabbed his shoulder. "What?" Kyrie spat out, irritated by his brother's presence as Leo let out a sigh. "I know what happened yesterday, and believe me I do, but I don't think this is wise." Leo said as Kyrie roughly shook off his hand.

"I am not going to endure this charade any longer than it has to be." "Brother please, I really think you should-" "If you don't want to do it then I will! So, stop pestering me and get lost!" Leo stiffens as Kyrie took off.

Leo sighed as he watched his little brother marches defiantly. He did not know when it happened or how it happened. Kyrie, the little brother who had always followed by his side was long gone. It was replaced by a very competitive and egotistical one. Leo longed to reforge their bond of brotherhood once more but did not know where to start.

"You two! Stop this instance!" Kyrie shouted but the two ignored his words. A wave of indescribable anger builds up in his chest as he shouted louder. "Are you two deft?! I order you to stop this instance!" The two simply continued their violent dance without a care in the world as Kyrie felt his patience snap.

"Are you purposefully ignoring me?!" Kyrie shouted as he reaches for Ave. "You will stop this instance or I will-!" Kyrie felt his heart drop for a moment as Ave suddenly twisted his arm and forces his body to move in front of her. "U-unhand me you-!!!"

Kyrie was petrified in fear as a massive sword came crashing down on him. Ave had used Kyrie as a meat shield in the spur of the moment. Just before it landed however, Zane manages to stop the blow midway. "Your highness?!" Zane shouted in shock as he nearly strikes Kyrie.

"What are you doing here?? Why- ah!" Ave did not waste the chance as she instantly seizes the opportunity. Discarding Kyrie off like a useless shield, Ave drove in with her blade in hand as Zane falls hard on his back. He tried to stand back up, but Ave's blade was already hovering mere inches away from his face.

"2 to 1." Ave grinned as the shocked faces of Zane resonated with everyone. "T-that's not counted!" Zane protested. "What is?" "You cheated! You use lord Kyrie as a shield!" "Oh that?" Ave batted an eye to Kyrie before shrugging off in response.

"He stood in our way, so I made the most use out of him." Ave said boldly as if everything she had done was normal. "Y-you brazen cur!" Kyrie swore as Ave lazily rolled her eyes. "A-after all those cheap, cowardly tricks, you still have the gall to blame me?!"

Kyrie shouted at the top of his lungs as several whispers breaks out from the crowd. "She truly is shameless. Using prince Kyrie as a shield during a duel, how shameless can she truly be?!" The murmurs begin to grow louder and louder when Ave suddenly laughed.
