The boy, none other than Tanya's supposed fiancé, Evan, had come to meet his future wife, only to be left waiting.

"Does she not know that I am a prince?"

"Of course she knows, she's just a little rebellious…" Ben tried to calm Evan, keeping a shaky peace within the tea room.

"And what do you mean she trains with the sword everyday? A woman should focus herself on more elegant matters, like etiquette and music. Instead, my future wife is practicing like a knight? Vulgar." A hint of disgust leaked out from his words, making Ben twitch.

"Please watch your words, your highness. My sister isn't someone that you can tame."

"What do you mean? Every n.o.ble girl in the Capital yearns for my attention, not a single one would refuse me should I ask for them, and yet your sister is ignoring me. She won't inherit your house, so she might as well become a queen." Evan smirked confidently. He did not see Tanya as that much of a big deal. She only wanted her because of her supposed beauty, being unmatched amongst n.o.bles.

Of course this beauty invited much envy amongst young n.o.ble girls everywhere. As such, Tanya, who had never really bothered herself with public life, had become labeled as a villainess who charmed the crown prince with her beauty.

Much to her disgust of course. She did not even see Evan as remotely attractive. Her eyes were more fixed on the n.o.ble girls that bad mouthed her.

If she wanted, she would eat them up in many figurative ways.

Tanya might not be in a man's body, but her preferences never changed. Her natural skills never changed either.

These stats could be considered amazing for a 13 year old girl, enough to shock most people. Since the average adult had all of their stats at 'E', she could be said to already possess capabilities above that of most commoner adults.

A sweet girl with an iron cold heart. She needed such things to stand at the apex. She did not need a male lead to save her when she herself was the male lead.

"Tanya is a lovely girl, I am sure she is just not feeling ready for the prospect or marrying yet. Any girl that age would feel similar." Ben tried to relax the mood. He already started to see Evan with an internal fire of disgust. What big brother could bear to see his sister so openly mocked? Ben might not be strong, but his will was enough to make him a good heir to the Vermillion House.

"Lovely girl? I will tell you who is a real lovely girl. Baron Carter's only daughter is a beauty with such an innocent smile. I would be more than willing to break off this engagement with your sister to marry Carter's daughter. She even has an affinity with holy magic!" At this point, Evan seemed to have the upper hand. He had played his card and Ben had come short. Evan had many prospects and Tanya had none. Her reputation preceded her.

"Oh, you mean Yuri Carter? I heard she is indeed a unique girl. I have already sent my regards to her." Ben had indeed already heard of her and seen her pictures. She was simply captivating. If a young man saw her, he would instantly fall in love.

"You see? In the blink of an eye, she could be mine. Your sister might not think of this engagement as much, but this is her only pillar to rely on. She might think that she can rely on herself alone, but she will soon find that she can't. This engagement her future and I can find any girl I wish. She better remember that." Evan coldly remarked. He was simply too materialistic, viewing women as objects and love as l.u.s.t. For a 16 year old child, he was just to arrogant.

BANG

The door flew open, revealing the figure of a vermillion haired girl dressed in a sophisticated scarlet dress.

Tanya had entered. Her expression more confident than Evan's, more domineering than a king's. Able to make a lady swoon harder than Evan ever can.

Tanya does not play around.

"If you want to talk behind my back, keep your voice down. My father and mother might hear you. They happen to be very close with your father and mother, childhood friends in fact. Wouldn't they just love to hear that their son was mocking their friends' daughter?" A cold and calculative smile. A relaxed yet perfect posture. Fair skin and a beautiful dress. Not a single flaw.

Lady killer.
