CHAPTER 8 - NO LONGER THE NAIVE YOUNG LADY
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A meeting among a few nobles and the emperor takes place the next morning. *
"If any of you have suggestions to make to help improve the situation in the Westlands, Raise your hands." said the Emperor, Aelius
The Duke of House Charleston raises his hand. *
"Go ahead Duke."
"I suggest that we plant more trees."
"Plant trees...?"
The nobles gathered all have a look of shock. *
"That is right. I suggest we plant more trees since, trees may be able to protect the land by accumulating rainwater underground which is a solution to the problem of the dry Westlands. And, there are a few more benefits involved in growing trees, Your Majesty."
"What are these other benefits you speak of...?" asked The Emperor in a curious manner
"They are minor benefits, Your Majesty. Trees help clean the air and also provide shelter to the various animal species in our Empi

Current situation - Lady Rubia and Baroness Joann are exchanging formal greetings. * "Good morning, Teacher Joann." said Sarah with a smile on her face. "Good morning to you as well, Young Lady Rubia. Have you been well since the last incident...?" asked Baroness Joann "I apologize if I caused you any worry, Teacher. " "It's quite alright young lady." Baroness Joann's POV- I had heard that the young lady of the Charleston house had changed but, I did not expect that she had changed this much. During the past whenever I had lessons with the young lady not only did she not pays attention but, she also dared to sleep during my classes. But, the eyes of the young lady right now have a will to learn. I believe this is the reason why Henry (the duke) (One of the previous students of Baroness Joann) had put down his pride to ask me to observe her before making t

Previously - "Good night young lady...!" said Sandra and Mary as they bowed. "Good night to you as well Sandra, Mary." said Sarah Sarah's Pov - I was only hoping on getting the attention of nobles but, after the suggestion I had made there is without a doubt a thought in the emperor’s mind. He must be quite curious for him to keep his own royal knights around me... How annoying... I have yet another obstacle... Currently - That night Sarah has a dream of one of the memories of Rubia before she died. * Sarah's Pov - Why the hell do I keep having such dreams. Though the memories of Rubia are helpful at times... It feels like hell whenever I wake up from the dreams. *The next morning, A letter addressed to Rubia arrives at the Charleston Duchy. * "Young Miss, you have a letter." said Gerome (the Butler) "Oh...

Previously - "So, I've finally reached the second step huh." said Sarah in a low voice "Did you say something just now miss...?" asked Tristan "No... I did not, Tristan." "I see." Sarah's Pov - Damn, I was almost caught...! I have to be more careful... Currently- "We have arrived, Young Lady." Said Tristan as he offered his hand to assist Rubia in getting down from the carriage. "Thank you, Tristan." Said Rubia as she took Tristan's hand. Rubia's Pov - That was the first time I rode in a carriage. Anyways, that's not what's important right now. I went through my plan last night and I've got to admit... I'm quite excited... Meanwhile, at the House of Arden. * "The young lady of House Charleston has arrived miss." said one of the maids to Odelia. "She actually came...?" Said, Ode

Previously - "Before you teach me how I should manage my fiancé, I feel you should learn to know how to manage your own. Dear 'Miss' Odelia." said Sarah with a grin on her face "What...?!! How did you...!?" Said Odelia as she trembled. Sarah once again ignores Odelia and leaves. * Currently - "Lady Rubia…!" exclaimed Margaret as she followed Sarah "Huh...? Lady Margaret, are you alright...?!" asked Sarah with a worried tone. "Yes, I'm fine, but I just wanted to know if you and I could be friends...?" "I would love to be friends, Lady Margaret." "I am glad Lady Rubia…!" "Ha-ha... Thank you, well I do hope we meet soon." "Yes...! Goodbye." Margaret's POV - I finally have a friend...! If Mother were alive, she would be more than glad...! Sarah's POV - A friend... One of the things that I never had in my previ

Previously - A meal with the emperor... This is a good chance to let the emperor know that, I'm not the same as before, but there is also a chance that Fredrick will be there after the graduation. If I do meet Fredrick, I'll just show my respect and ignore him... That's the best way to not draw any unnecessary attention. Currently - The Duke and the Duchess attend the graduation ceremony. * Sarah's Pov - I feel bad that I can't attend brother Louis's graduation. (Only parents or guardians were to attend), but it is a bit fortunate that I do not have to encounter the prince. During the Graduation ceremony. * "You've finally graduated huh...?!" said the duke as he offered his arms to Louis. "Mom...! Oh, how I missed you...! How is My Dear sis Rubia doing...?!" said Louis as he ignored his father and hugged his mother "I'm here as well here you kno
Can an Evil Lady Change CHAPTER 14 - VACATION AT A LIBRARY
Previously - In no way can I miss the meal with the emperor because... If I do not show up even after the Duke took pains to postpone it... Charleston would be seen as an arrogant house that dares to refuse the Emperor's invitations. And, If I were to give an excuse it will be as if I am admitting to the emperor's suspicion of me. Currently - Two days before the meal with the Emperor. * Sarah's Pov- It's been over a month. The only thought in my head is how I can help in achieving a happy ending for Rubia. And all I have to say is... Life is hard as an aristocrat. I mean every single day I have to put up a fake smile in front of those disgusting nobles. I wish I had a vacation. And that is why I've decided that today... I will visit a Library...! That's right...! A library...! Right now, what I need most is a vacation of some sort. Which is why I decided to take a break
Can an Evil Lady Change CHAPTER 15 - MATHEW.
The carriage arrives at the Royal Library* Rubia's POV- Woah...!! I remember that the library that I used to visit (My college’s library) was just a large room with barely any 'Drama' or 'Romance' genre novels (which is kind of obvious because it was a college library) but damn...! The library before my eyes seemed almost as huge as the Duchy (and trust me when I say this, the Duchy is HUGE...!) "Brother have I ever visited the Royal Library before...?" "Well, you weren't the type that was all that interested in books so this may be your first time coming here lil sis" "Your brutally honest brother" "Am I...?!" Louis said with a smile The above conversation is one that the siblings have before getting down from the carriage* Louis and Rubia accompanied with some Royal knights enter the Royal Library* "I Welcome young Master and Young Lady from t

Gerome enters the room in which Rubia is currently in with a bunch of letters* Rubia is currently in her study going through the lessons Baroness Joann taught her regarding the etiquette to be followed during the Royal Ball. * "These were all the letters addressed to you Young Lady." "Ah...! Thank you, Gerome. You may put it by the table." "Yes." They came again huh...?! After the tea party with Odelia I have been getting invitations from a lot of people whom I am unfamiliar with.... Plus, the hosts are people whom I've never actually met or conversed with so, it is reasonable to assume that they invited me out of formality... Rubia discovers a letter from Lady Margaret* It's an invitation to a private tea party huh...? Alright I'm going to attend this one for sure... Thank God that it is a tea party with only us... I haven't gotten the chance to contact Margaret ever since my broth

I am aware that almost everyone in this room despises the Southern Empire's Emperor for his foolishness and greed." said Damien"...?" The nobles stared with confusion at Damien having no idea what the consequences were of the words he uttered"I will be starting an internal revolt against the emperor." said Damien as he smirked"What is the meaning of this, Grand Duke?" asked the emperor"I am sure you all have your doubts about me, but you have to trust me when I say this...

He is a relative of mine from my mother's side of the family. He has been a friend of mine ever since I was young." "I see." "Why do you have a sudden interest in him, Sarah...?" "Fredrick... I promise you this, I will tell you everything once the Ceremony is over. Hiding things from you, the man whom I've fallen in love with is... Hard.

There was the princess of the Southern Empire but, since her constitution is weak it is obvious that she cannot marry me. The other one was the daughter of Marquese Dinax." answered Fredrick"Dinax... I've heard about them.""They are a family known for their knights and their loyalty to the Empire."Currently -Six ladies from Noble families will come for the interview. I am free to choose at least three or four out of the six but, I doubt there'd be a majority of the ladies who are interested in the job.They may have hidden intentions like spying on me or seducing Fredrick.But they would have to be stupid if they thought of me as a foolish naive Lady. I will make sure I educate those who may intend to harm me in the future on how I am no 'Foolish Lady'..."Let the first group of Ladies in.,&r

Previously - Fredrick, I do not think I have ever be able to understand you but, I sincerely wish for you to live a good life. You deserve that. Since, I read not only the original story but also the Altered version of the story where Fredrick is not the male lead but, the villain and Rubia is never brought up. It is kind of Ironic to know that Me and Fredrick do not have the relationship of Villainess and Male Lead but, Villain and Villainess. Currently - Sarah's Pov - I liked the novel 'True Love' for a lot of reasons but, I also found it sad because the author never displayed the emotions felt by other characters excluding the Male lead and the Female lead. The feelings felt by Rubia when she was waiting for her death while the man, she loves gets married to the woman she hated. Those feelings were ignored and cast aside. The author of the Novel 'True Love' had made

"The only ones who have Aura's are the highest of nobility." Currently - An aura. It was a term that was never used in the novel 'True Love'. Fredrick has nothing to gain from lying to me and I trust him since I know my feelings for him. But, how could the author not mention anything about it in the book...? Have the events of the book altered because of me? Now that I think about it... My brother and Lady Margaret have recently started going out with the family's approval. This was not the case in the novel. Louis was someone who had absolutely no interest in anyone other than Catherine.

They have their meal and take some time to talk about the Empire. * "Is it safe to say that the nobles have decided to heed the emperor’s warning to them...?" asked Sarah "I am sure you know that the noble's and aristocrats hate making choices or decisions that bring them a great loss. The nobles who plotted along with the Southern Kingdom were just trashy Counts or Barons who were about to become fallen nobles." "Of course, I am aware of that." "The one thing every noble fear is making a rash decision which may lead to the Family's downfall in the near future. They who have been labelled with th

Wait for me over here. I'll meet with Jonathan (the playwriter)." said Fredrick"Sure but, you don’t want me to come with you?" asked Rubia"How about after the play?
