CLEOBELLE / SINCLAIR
"Is she really uneducated? I heard she was left alone in a basement all her life, and yet the way she's managing the dukedom is as if she's been our duchess for years! Isn't that insane?" One of the maids exclaimed as I overheard their conversation.
"Huwag ka ngang maingay diyan. Baka gusto mong magaya kay head maid Koopal?" iritang sambit ng isa pang maid.
Nailing na lang ako doon.
It's been a few weeks since we've been married. Aslan is still doing his job, eradicating the monsters of the north.
Me on the other hand is busy managing the estate and the whole dukedom itself.
Bukod doon ay nagwawaldas lang ako ng pera.
"Money therapy really is the best," I grinned as I looked at the things I bought.
"Wala pa din ba ang asawa mo?" tanong sa akin ni Elsa.
Umiling ako doon.
"The Emperor asked him to be his Escort knight while he's visiting the holy kingdom to get the people's sympathy. However, the empire doesn't get along well with the holy sh*ts, which is why he needs an escort" I shrugged.
Thinking about it, should I pay them a visit?
I grinned at that thought.
"Pretend to be me. I'm just gonna go out for awhile," i ordered the ice spirit queen.
"Yes, my King," she bowed down.
After that, I managed to sneak out effortlessly. Then I unleashed my aether outside, changing my appearance to the ice witch, everyone feared.
I casually walked outside as the commoners just ran away at the sight of me.
"Ice witch!" some bugs called my attention as they pointed their weapon at me.
It's a bunch of beastmen, living here in Glacialis.
Right, the north is filled with different races as it is the only place that accepts them with warmth.
"Think about your lives, fools. Be thankful I don't think any of you are worth my time."
Masungit kong saad saka naglaho na nang tuluyan papuntang Holy kingddom.
I might be wicked, but I won't kill just anyone. May taste din ako noh.
I looked around and it seemed like I teleported to Saintess' temple's garden.
In my past life, I used to stay here when I tried a different route as a Saintess. It's so darn boring here. Everyone respects you but at the same time they all just wanted to use you.
I tried to paint the image of a kind Saintess back then, but I ended up being betrayed by the people who claimed they're children of god.
Turns out, they were just bunch of dogs who'd bit the owner who fed them. So I just killed all of them.
I bet Saintess Asteria would face the same fate from the very people she cherishes.
"Sinclair?" a voice called my name.
Natigilan ako doon.
Nakapagtatakang nakilala niya ako sapagkat ibang-iba ang anyo ko bilang si 'Ice witch'.

FantasyShe's vile; She's cold; She's elusive-and she has a secret. . . Sinclair Emberwood is meek and quiet, like a worn and torn doll, thrown away into the basement of the baron's manor. A neglected child, labeled as weak and lowly. The disgraceful result...
