The Villainess Law of Vengeance

When others grew to love another, Kalliope fell for darkness. Instead of innocence, betrayal greeted her first, lies met her second, and revenge befriended her last. A century long, her own kind, the mages concealed her origin. They let her lived a beautiful dream before smashing it all apart with a cruel reality. The heroes who saved her kind from being hunted by the humans on Earth were her parents. It was then, blood colored her eyes, madness painted her soul, and corpses of her enemies littered on the path she walked. While she dyed the earth blazing red, the demon whom she had embraced like her guardian angel smiled and asked. “Is my love enough to keep you in the darkness?” The temptation was endearing. But, what happened when someone broke the darkness and told her the most beautiful lies? “You deserve happiness. You are meant for the light.” In the end, which side will Kalliope choose? --------------- Disclaimer: The cover isn't mine! Credits to artist. Instagram: @author_kiiara Discord: Kiiara #9809

Questioning The Duke (1)

Meanwhile, at the duke's estate, Tristan had just returned an hour before midnight. As soon as he past through the front door and was greeted by Butler Elliard, he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Where's father? Has he retired to his room?"

Butler Elliard lifted a brow at the young master's impetuous behavior. The butler could more or less deduce what made him this flustered. "No. Today's rather hectic so, His Grace decided to burn the midnight oil."

"Good. I'm heading there for a while."

Even before he finished his sentence, Tristan had breezed through the servants like a gust of wind. With a growing irritation in his heart, the young man quickened his pace towards the duke's study room. However, despite that, he still knocked the door though he couldn't hide his frustration from the way he rapped his knuckle.

"Come in," the duke's tired voice came from behind the door.
