Reborn as the Villain in a Romance Fantasy
'A self-centric Female Lead, lost-in-love Male Leads, and useless extras who will die. On top of it, this world will not be here for long because of that ancient threat. So, what should I do now?' What kind of world was a world of Female-Oriented Fantasy romance? One filled with tinted glass and roses? Life should have been easy here, right? Wrong! Layla had read this book before, and she knew what happened. "Those useless leads left this world in a shamble! I need to do something about it before it gets destroyed. If I am going to live here, I need to ensure this world stays alive long enough. Who has time for romance when the world will end soon?" Her goal was set, and her life was laid out. Layla was going to use whatever she could to secure her second life. Everyone was a useful piece from here on, and Layla used them well to achieve her end goal. This might be a world based on a fantasy romance, but she would ensure it would not repeat it's ending. ______ Note: It has a strong Female Protagonist as the MC. No romance, no harem, no yuri.
Ch 93: Incompetent Local Lord - part 3
Lord Burnette could feel the disapproval rolling off Layla and her maid in spades. They kept their expressions neutral, but their eyes told them they thought of him as a despicable lord.
'Am I being looked down upon? I will not have that! What does this kid know about nobles and how hard we have it? All she needs to do is eat and sleep under Duke Lockhart's protection while I work hard to earn every penny.
This is not fair.'
Despite his inner turmoil, Lord Burnette made a gentle face when he looked at Layla. He wanted to leave a good impression on her, his vulnerability shining through his façade.
"Young miss, there are many things in life that you need to compromise over. I made a deal with the church people because I wanted them to keep my people safe.
I would rather have a contaminated pond nearby than wild beasts attack us daily."
The nobleman spoke confidently, revealing more and more of his character.
