The villainess aims for a peaceful life Chapter 76

The next day, just like I thought Julia went to Moor (ex-slum) . At first, Carl wasn't aware of her presence there . With her sweet nature, she charmed the residents in no time . All was going well for her until she opened her golden mouth to spout golden s*it .

She first commented that although they were still poor, she thought the slums would be dirtier and more dangerous . After saying many biased things, the people who were interacting with her began to get angry . They chided her a bit about what she said and explain to her how it was before and how they got a reform in their neighbourhood .

And that was when things escalated . Once she heard people praising me the squirrel went mad in rage and started to argue with the people . The people who heard what she called me and the bad things she said all started to rebuke her and the argument started to get heated . Thank god, someone called Carl, who calmed down the situation before Julia wasn't able to leave Moor . Don't look how behaved they're right now . I learned, talking to them, that living in the slums is quite savage sometimes and they know how to protect themselves once needed .

Carl sent her to the Palace and asked the guard to report to the king . Not long after, a letter from His Majesty was in my hand apologizing for the misunderstanding and guarded it wouldn't happen again, since he put Lady Caroline, one of the few royal female knights, as Julia escort .

After reading the letter, I marvelled how neither of the princes could hold a candle to their father . Knowing how well Julia can charm men, he purposefully chose a female knight . Lady Caroline was like those knights in stories where their liege's orders are the law . She was noble and strict as one could be .

Plus, with this, he can raise female knights' prestige among society . Although is just an escort job, it's, nonetheless, for the future Queen of the country . He's such a clever king that I sure hope he stays for a long time before he passes the throne to either of his sons .

"Miss we've arrived"

Looking outside the window of my carriage, my jaw almost hit the ground . Moor was amazing! Because of the whole parade fiasco, I couldn't see the finished product . And looking at it now, I must applaud all who made this come true . If I didn't saw the slums here before I couldn't believe it was here .

In front of me, there was a huge building with adjacent gardens and small buildings all in Japanese-ish style . Although the architects of the project saw nothing in the style, I asked they perfectly caught the main points and with their adaptation, they designed the stunning Moor .

Although I was itching to come inside and tour in the spa and the little village, I forced my legs to bring me to one of the tall buildings at the extreme of Moor . On the two ends of the Moor façade, two similar towers were raised . This is where Cerberus headquarters are now .

I decided to destroy the previous one used by Marc and construct my own, as a form to totally erase the influence that Marc had on my subordinates .

"Miss"

The two guards on the building's entrance saluted me .

'Hmm . . . I don't remember their faces though'

"Good morning . Are you the new recruits?"

The guards are probably my age or maybe Louis's . The one that seemed younger answered me with a slight blush .

"Yes, Miss . I'm Julio and this is Piero . Carl recruited a few of us three days ago"

Piero gave a light slap on the back of Júlio's head .

"Miss didn't ask our names . Only answer what you are asked . I apologize for this guy's behaviour Miss"

"Oh, sorry miss . I won't do again"

Piero made Julio bow in apology .

"Fufu, that's quite all right . I'm sure you know, but my name is Cecile . You don't need to be stiff around me 'kay? So you've been here for three days now, right? have you been to the training yet? Did you enjoy it?"

On the mention on my 'fun' training both men paled .

Come on now guys . Is not even that terrible! What can be more fun than do all the activities while trying to equilibrate books on top of your head?

"Y-Yes . Yesterday was Mrs Agnes tutoring, it was quite . . . intense?"

Oh! Mrs Agnes sure is 'intense' . Just remembering the wood rod she had to correct our posture give me chills .

I patted both of their shoulders trying to transmit my thoughts to them .

'Stay strong brave soldiers'

" . . . you get used to it eventually . Keep the good work"

Saying so I left the poor souls who will be beaten black and blue with a wood rod in the near future, and entered Cerberus' building .
