The Villainess Does It With Class

Chapter 23 - Nadia And The Council Of Bitches

They won over me eventually and had not curled my hair just as I wanted to. They just braid half of it and clipped it with a diamond hairpin. I stared at myself in the mirror, feeling satisfied with the result.

'My attendants are all hard working. I should reward them soon.'

"Milady," Mari voices out and hands me the black hand fan that I ordered to be brought out.

It was made of lace and had tiny jewels embedded in it. It looks pretty!

"Thank you," I uttered and smiled at her in return.

'With this, my battle gears are complete. I am ready for battle now..'

I stood up from the chair and presented myself to them. My attendants clap as if they are watching a fascinating show and were looking at me in awe which made me flattered, honestly.

"Milady looks very beautiful!" Erin complimented.

"Fufufufufu~"

I covered my mouth with the fan as I laugh, embodying how a villainess acts. I probably look stupid as well while doing it but whatever.

Lily comes in at that moment and smiles at me.

"The carriage is ready, milady."

'So it's time...'

I glanced at the mirror once more and left the room with them trailing behind me. My eyes saw Nathaniel standing in front of it and turned when he saw me getting closer. He stares at me for a while which made me quite conscious of myself. If I didn't confirm my appearance in the mirror, I would be worrying right now.

"Go home before dark," he reminded me before whirling around to go back inside the house.

I watched him disappear and smirked at his expense. My brother Nathan is sulking fufufufufu~

He is still stingy about me ignoring him three days ago even though I didn't mean to do so.

"Well then," I turned to my attendants who were standing at the side, waiting for me to get in. "I will leave now."

"Have a safe journey, milady." Was their response as they bowed slightly.

They all then raised their heads and all but beamed at me.

After I waved at them through the windows, the carriage left and sped up in the direction of the Count Fodder's residence. I was silently musing during the whole ride.

'Rosamunde and that four rude ladies would definitely team-up. I will bet on it.'

Beatriz and Gwen were going to meet me there, so I wasn't really worried that I would be alone when I arrived. Moreover, it was stupid of me to get anxious just because of some lowly breeds.

The carriage then stopped just outside the gates of a manor. It wasn't as big as the marquis mansion, but it is still big nevertheless. There were a group of people in a servant uniform waiting outside, probably to welcome the guests. My footman opened the door for me and helped me get down.

As soon as I am out, another carriage rolls in beside mine. It was grand and had the Duke of Ethalion's insignia on its body, a black eagle with spread wings.

'Beatriz is here~'

Just then, another comes in which looks very familiar. It was Gwen's carriage!

I decided to wait for them to come down so we could enter the premises together. Bea then comes out after a moment and sees me. Gwen pokes her head and comes down as well. I waved at both of them and waited for them to get closer.
