All Chapters of The Substitute Villainess : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chelsea who was preparing for her tea party with Rebecca and Felix, had no idea about Rogue's internal struggle and strife . Instead she was trying hard to focus on what Cici was saying" And the Lord as expected had them thrown out , Mi'lady however, after your performance at the battles I believe you wouldn't find it too much of a struggle to find a well suitable match for you " .Earlier in the morning together with his pompous looking father, Sir David had once again came to her house to propose a marriage to her , unfortunately for him, Lord Kaisen had been quite aggravated with the continuous pouring of marriage agreements from a number of family .Having been throughly upset by them , Lord Kaisen mood took a rather upsetting plunge the moment , Sir David 's father opened his mouth .Chelsea has never seen Lord Kaisen shouting at someone like that ever before , her father with his refined and classy air , had always disapproved of cussing and sweari

Rogue entered , his father's study . He had no idea but for reason unknown to him, his Imperial father called him at such an odd hour ." Greetings, Imperial father " with an elegant bow , Rogue greeted his father , his voice cold and aloof as usual , a frosty experssion on his face ." Tsk , you and your mother are exactly same , both of you wear the same poker face , all the time ." said the Emperor ." Imperial father and Imperial mother are a match made in heaven, Imperial mother complains about the same thing , except she blames father for being a little too cold " with great resistance Rogue , forced himself to not to roll his eyes at his father , instead he used a polite tone to contradict his father's words " did father called me to talk about how cold and indifferent, I am ?" ." No , No " dismissing his son's accusation aside , the Emperor spoke " I called you to ask , What do you think about a dual magic user as your Guardian Knight?" .

"Help me, Yeah right !" snorted Chelsea .It took a while for her to detach herself from the carriage seat , the shock given by Regulus was certainly surprising and she couldn't get neither head or tail of it . What was she supposed to understand from it ? After a complete life of misunderstandings and hatred , the three brats suddenly started to think of her as a sister .Despite that Chelsea didn't feel anything except for a little flicker of happiness before it vanished , She wasn't blind and she knew that her father and brothers were certainly different from their past selves but Chelsea just couldn't forgive them .It was like a malediction , a curse .Never to be washed off , never to be forgiven . People like Cici might think that she was being heartless towards her family , who were yet to wrong her in this life. And maybe she was . Yes, they haven't wronged her in this life but what about the wrongdoings of their past ? How was she supposed to let it go?

A klaxon like sound reverberated and the dome like structure started receding back into the crystal .The alterum Malcolm disappeared and Chelsea's knees buckled under the heavy injuries and overuse of magical mana . She was on her knees ,half supported by the sword of Enchantress , head sustained on its hilt , Chelsea drew cold breaths of air trying to nurse the stitch on her left .   Blood dripped down on to the floor of the arena , her injuries were grave making it sheer agony for Chelsea to suppress the scream lodged in her throat , no wonder , Guardian Knights were the elite of all Knights , their training was hardcore since day one ! Chelsea slowly raised her head looking around her , she didn't want to be the only one in such a weakened state . But turned out Chelsea was overthinking , everyone else too bore the mark of their battles .   Malcolm was on his fours, retching and coughing wh

Chelsea was startled by her own thoughts, how could that be possible! How can Robin be worried about her at all , was her Mind injured in the training as well ? " Lie down , please " said Robin once again and Chelsea did as he asked her to do , she laid on her front and let him take a look at her back . She didn't know what he did but the same warm sensation spread all over her back and she soon felt the soreness and stinging from the wound leave her for good this time . Robin was a first grade healer and Chelsea knew that with him healing her scars , there will be none left except for the one's who were too old to treat ofcourse ." Its done , you should go and take a rest now , it will help " said Robin still gazing at her back, he looked disgruntled even repulses and Chelsea felt uncomfortable under his gaze , the memory of her old scars surfaced a little too late in her mind and she knew that they must b
