Villainess Becomes The Knight

Abigail Essendson, the prideful daughter of George Essendson, Duke of the Forchestire Empire, had everything, money, respect, a strong image in high society, and loving and caring parents. But she made a mistake, she accepted the proposal for marriage by the archduke, Gerard Wiltshire, cousin of the crown prince. The man wanted nothing but money to strengthen his power so that he could attack the crown prince, which eventually he did and took over the empire. And that was the fall of Abigail’s family too, who was loyal to the crown. Her whole family was killed in the massacre. Her brother sacrificed his life to save hers. She blamed herself for everything as she was the one who chose Gerard over the crown prince. She trained hard, as a strong knight she was. She tried to kill Gerard by herself, but alas, she wasn't that strong to handle his whole army. "Even if you will ever be reborn, you will never be able to defeat me. You and your family will die from my hands." Gerard laughed as she was taking her last breaths. "I will. I will come back later to take revenge and will snatch everything back from you." These were her last words when she died. But not like the books she read, she did not go back in time. Instead, she was born again in the 21st century as a doctor, but the guilt never left her alone. One day, as she tried to save a little girl, she got hit by a truck and was transmigrated back to her previous life as Abigail. At last, God finally listened to her pleas. After she woke up, she was back in her previous life when she was 16. Would she be able to fulfill her wish this time?

I can prove it

I walked to my room the moment we reached the palace and slumped on my bed, as if I had fought a battle, I felt extremely tired. The cozy bed felt so good to my sore body with all the fencing, archery and then saving William from the chandelier. My brows furrowed at that memory. I could not believe that it was just an incident.

No matter how useless he was, he was still the crown prince of the empire. could his security be this loose.

"Tsk.. What is the benefit of being a prince then? When everyone wants nothing but to assassinate you. Sigh! Still i have to keep you alive until you become the emperor and somehow find a way to fill your ears against the archduke, so that he can nip the bud before it grew further.'' I sighed as I felt there was so much to do in the next two years when all my family was worried about passing the entrance of the academy!

"Beth,"

"Yes, my lady"

"Bring some food here, and some juice too. I am feeling both thirsty and hungry ``I replied and she left, bowing her head.

I closed my eyes as i felt tired, the last words that were in my mind were only truth carl if you need too.

My brows furrowed as i hear the sounds of crying and grumbling and took a pillow and hid my face through it, but the sound continue to increase.

I took a deep sigh as I said goodbye to my beloved sleep and sat up.

I stretched my body and took a big yawn. Slowly trying to open my eyes the first thing I saw was Beth standing there with an apologetic face.

Only then did I realise that it was already morning and the rays of sun had already filled the room with its warmth.

"Why is the morning so noisy?" I asked as finally my hazy eyes turned clear.

"My lady, it's nothing much, why don't you sleep a bit more." she encouraged as her hand that was stopped by my intrusion, started draping the curtains on the wall again.

"Let them be, the warmth is feeling good to my skin" I said as I laid back and snuggled to my pillow.

But then the voices came again, this time it was clear. The voices were familiar and I could recognise them even in my dream.

"What happened this time?" I asked Beth and she shook her head.

"Beth"

"My lady, lady Isabella is aggrieved and complaining that you left her in the royal palace alone. And she had to wait for your grace to return to bring her back which was only late at night. She felt tired because of that." she informed me and I chuckled.

"So I was the one who left her alone there. Huh?" From the day I came back here, I tried my best to keep peace at home.

I ignored all their cheap tricks but the way they were trying to pressurise me is only forcing me to return to my old ways.

"What if I tried to be an angel, do they think they could compare to the devil in me! Tsk.."

I walked and climbed the stairs down leisurely.. There they were in the hall, Isabella was crying in front of Nickolas and her mother. I looked at them with disdain and looked around. My brows furrowed when I saw father was not around.

They heard the footsteps and looked above and saw my smiling face.

"Abigail came here '' I heard my step mother shouting, mere baroness and her daughter. Since the day she had married father, her behaviour had turned completely.

"Am I not now?" I asked back as I took my own sweet time walking . Even snails would be surprised to see me waltzing around.

They glared at me but who cared.

I reached down and saw all three of them standing, but instead of greeting them or asking about the matter.

I sat on the sofa leisurely with one leg over the other and my back leaning on the sofa, my chin raised in a proud manner.

"Is there a problem?" I asked , feigning ignorance.

They looked at me surprised due to my behaviour. Even in the past when I behaved like a villain I did an awful job at that. I was always grumpy and talking more from my hands than mouth. Setting a bad example and always garnering hatred from everyone.

"You left her alone in the royal palace. She was stuck there with lower noble ladies and could not come home." commented my dear step mother.

"Why, she was in a royal palace, not a forest. She could have asked for a carriage and come home whenever she wanted.'' I replied, shrugging my shoulders and she looked at me with disdain.

"As a proud lady, how could she do that. Moreover she is very young to think like that. As an elder sister she is your responsibility." she replied looking at me with anger and i just smirked.

"Since she had the ability to deny me to come back in front of everyone and lust over a 9 year man older than him then what shall i say. I don't find his habits young at all ``I said, shrugging my shoulders and she looked at me with wide eyes.

'How I wish there had been a CCTV camera or a voice recorder at this age too. Sigh, i should have the liberty to bring a few things with me'

"What nonsense are you speaking this time, Abigail. She just wanted to see the royal palace and that was why she was eager to go. She is just a kid, how can you malign her image like that.. Apologise now!" she said in an authoritative tone and I smirked further.

"But, step mother…" i started in a mocking tone, "i can prove it"
