and she scatters to leave the room silence surrounds the room as both Melissa and Ian struggle to come up with anything to say how will Ian defend himself after being exposed after confronting Ian Melissa remembers her past with him clear ly and recalls how she was always criticized due to her violent personality whenever he was caught in an affair and how this pained her she finds this setup similar to how women are treated in modern Korea despite the Western setup of the novel Ian is in tears and accuses Melissa of harassing him first by clinging to him and visiting him many times this disappoints Melissa who explains she did everything out of love Ian nods along as Melissa calls such actions normal in a relationship a furious Melissa questions how he could act so flirta iously with other women just to aggravate her she remembers how in the past Melissa would spend her entire day getting prepared after receiving Ian's invitation only to be met with Ian getting on with some random girl and this happened every time but she still never rejected his invitation she was down bad for real she asks Ian how he expected her not to anull the engagement even after he committed such debauchery and Ian replies it was because she loved him this infuriates Melissa who has a vision of Smashing the ashtray on Ian's head she tries hard to control her anger and remain rational she calms herself and tells him she doesn't love him anymore Ian doesn't believe her so she insists once again that she has no love for him how the turntables Ian looks perplexed hearing this and is still in disbelief like a fish out of the sea Melissa again proposes to break off the engagement commenting that people fall out of love Melissa's only wish is to get rid of her title as the crown Prince's fiance as she considers how Ian would ruin the Empire if he ever came to power even his handsomeness cannot save him when he refuses to give up Melissa gets irritated and starts lashing out at him Linda attempts to sneak out during the commotion but accidentally trips launching the ashray into the air the ashray hits the walls and shatters into pieces the guards rush into to find broken pieces of the ashray on the ground and blame it on Melissa they think this is another one of her Tantrums not only because of the ashtray but because of Linda crying on one side and Ian looking out of sorts they arrest Melissa right on the spot Linder rushes to Ian's side and they put up an act out of desperation some Oscar level acting right there Melissa realizes there's no point trying to explain as everybody is trying to make her out to be the vainus and nobody would try to take her side as she's escorted out she recalls how Ian never apologized to her and infuriated promises him that she won't ever forgive him after not getting any clear answer from Ian and getting half dragged out of the Imperial Palace a carriage carries Melissa back to her home Melissa furiously contemplates on her ride back that if a guy like Ian ascends to the Throne it will bring disaster to the kingdom he would ruin politics and afterward turn to his citizens and ask them whether they loved him hence bringing chaos to his kingdom even meeting and Falling In Love With Yuri won't change him as he would be too far gone by then causing Yuri not to accept him Melissa remembers how Ian would be sometimes kind to her in the past especially in public Gatherings and how his charm and smiles caused more misunderstanding and led her on even though he was pretending to love her she decides that she cannot let such a vile man of approach Yuri and the only approach to this problem is to assassinate Ian this perfectly suits her character and so she starts thinking of ideas to kill him new profession unlocked as the carriage arrives back home The Horseman opens the door of the carriage to let Melissa out instead he finds Melissa muttering about cutting somebody's head off or slicing their limbs and is shaken to the core Melissa steps out of the carriage and he nervously requests her not to cut off body parts Melissa tries to comfort him with a smile but the horsemen collapses after seeing her Sinister smirk once inside her home Melissa decides to talk to her father asking for some of his time he replies in an overbearing tone similar to Melissa's own questioning what she needs him for the novel on which Melissa's story is based has the typical male female Prejudice similar to what's expressed in games or fantasy stories this is evident by the fact that although Melissa was the oldest child she never got her father's attention but sniper always got his father's affection and was even sent abroad for his studies due to such differences Melissa grew to resent her father and thus their relationship deteriorated the result of child neglect in the hallway both father and daughter have a stare down with each other Duke turns away and starts heading down the hallway causing Melissa to call after him to give her some of his time to discuss some important matters and that the discussion won't take long before Melissa can start discussing the Duke stops her with a serious face and tells her to follow him to the sitting room to have this discussion as they approach the sitting room the Duke asks her to wait out outside as the sitting room is prepared and disappears inside Melissa is annoyed and confused by this behavior and thinks her father is planning to either kill her or that something bad is going to happen after waiting for some time she enters the sitting room and finds the room fully decorated with balloons flowers desserts and tea waiting for her the Duke rocking a pink suit like no other asks her to sit down and before she can speak tells her to have some tea or a snack the Duke comments how the tea is popular among youngsters and Melissa wonders whether the tea is poisoned noticing how the Duke himself is having only black coffee Melissa tries to avoid drinking the tea and is saved when the Duke tells her to start speaking according to him it has been a decade since they have sat down to talk like this even though both of them have breakfast together every day just as Melissa is about to talk about canceling her engagement with Ian the door bursts open and her brother Jake enters the room originally Jake is not only one of Yuri's love interests in the novel but is also the Duke's successor and a pro sniper working for the Imperial family moreover he despises his sister just like most of us and has a reputation due to his great magical powers and sniping skills he also never shows up at public events and is never found at home due to his looks Melissa finds him even more prettier than her despite them being siblings in the novel Jake is shown as a shy cold-hearted Beauty who watches Yuri from the Shadows but Melissa finds the reality much different when Jake starts shouting at his father about the decorations and tea and keeps nagging calling the decorations childish Melissa finds this Jake too different from his novel self du to his shouting and nagging she asks Jake what he is doing here and Jake gives her a cold look while his Expressions don't change Jake looks as if he wants to barf he ignores her but she protrudes and urges him to leave so she can continue her talk he points at her and mentions Ian we learn that Jake and Ian are childhood friends due to which Jake was able to get a job in the royal family he abruptly tells her not to call off the engagement and Melissa can't help but imagine how Ian must have pleaded with him to talk to her Melissa puts two and two together and realizes Jake purposefully entered the room because the Duke listens to his son he plans on making the Duke order her to not anull the engagement as Melissa cannot refuse the Duke's orders little does he know this infuriates Melissa and she starts by ripping into him Melissa calls him Ian's lap dog who she left off the hook one too many times she's channeling her minm right now she looks him in the eyes and declares that he is her brother no more as no brother would snitch on their sister we all know the old saying she turns to the Duke and startles him making him spill tea on himself she asserts that she will have her engagement cancelled and nobody get in her way as there will be consequences with a smile on her face she takes her leave but wonders if she came off too strong on her way back will everything work out for the villainous Melissa wakes up in her room in agony and pain she must be having a nightmare because she finds Ian's face plastered wherever she looks talk about a true horror experience she tries to wake up by SL flapping herself but it is of no use Ian's pictures in various poses and expressions are plastered on all the walls the floor and even the ceiling average K-pop stands room she cannot take the pictures off her wall as they have been stuck using magic just as she is about to get out of her room to flee this nightmare she stares for a moment at one of the pictures of Ian with a rose between his teeth and gets so angry that she passes out barely escaping the room she vows to get revenge by finding Jake first who must be the main culprit and be in his face She searches for Jake everywhere and when she's unable to find him she Burns in even more anger muttering and ominously cursing Jake Melissa stops a passing maid and asks her with a dead serious face if she has seen Jake the maid starts trembling and tells her that Jake asks her to tell Melissa not to thank him Melissa realizes that Jake still thinks Melissa is still in love with Ian due to which he plastered all those pictures and she punches the wall in Anger the thought of Jake looking down on her makes her burst into loud Sinister laughter and she decides to teach teach him a lesson through her fists once she finds him later in the night Melissa climbs through the chimney and much like a haunting ghost finds Jake sitting outside on the roof Lord have mercy on him now Jake is startled to see her and asks how she found him she boasts about herself but we get to know that she used her Knowledge from the novel instead we learn that this is Jake's usual hiding spot the rooftop of the manor he comes here to spend his free time Melissa talks about her new look room whilst holding herself back she has to convince Jake she doesn't like anymore and is resolved to break off the engagement Jake is skeptical but Melissa claims she lost interest after seeing his hedonistic ways when you finally can't keep ignoring the red flags she tries warning Jake about his manners but he appears clueless Melissa finds his complete lack of etiquette and manners despite being 17 years old frustrating before she can finish warning him about touching her stuff someone shouts from down below and asks them to get down from such a high place it is Martha Jake and Melissa's Nanny until they came of age and the only one who truly cared for Melissa even still her reappearance strikes Melissa as strange she shouts at them to get down from the rooftop and they oblige as soon as they get down she scolds both of them for getting their clothes dirty moreover she implores Melissa to take better care of herself since she is getting married this is as much of a shock to Melissa as it is to you her smooth sailing plans of canceling the engagement appear to be crashing down bartha tells Melissa about her decision to announce her wedding with Ian at the Imperial family's upcoming Spring ball and how she came here because of this news she gets all teared up gushing about how it had always been Melissa's dream to become a princess one day and how she can't believe Melissa is already getting married annoyed and stressed Melissa falls to the floor and all the maids rush to her this is the start of her grand opera Melissa pretends to be unconscious for half a day trying to avoid this new turn of events she recalls how she would constantly urge Ian to get married due to which she is now forced to eat her own words the most frustrating part was how Ian had changed from always rejecting her advances to now pushing for this unwanted marriage without even telling her about this Melissa further discovers that the Duke has also left the estate and that rumors are going around that Ian has been buying expensive gems and clothing for Melissa to wear at the ball feeling like a child who was not even allowed to pick her outfits the urge to murder Ian comes crashing back to her Melissa starts planning how to tackle this situation if she denies the marriage rumors nobody will believe her and if she decides to break the engagement by herself before the ball it will complicate matters between the two families she finally decides the best approach would be to not attend the ball at all to avoid this whole situation A yes the infamous no- show however she soon changes her decision when she realizes how important her presence is at the ballroom is the fiance of the Crown Prince and daughter of the Duke she asks Yona to break her legs so that she can't dance when you're so good at dancing that this is the only way to stop on yona's refusal she suggests taking a nice bath with all the windows open Yona reminds her that she'd still have to attend the ball with a cold met with a wall and having no other options she again decides the best solution to all her problems would be to have Ian assassinated she knows however that no one would take on a Crown Prince's assassination did they try calling Jon Wick she contemplates approaching Ian during the ball and beating him in front of everyone what a pleasant thought but she would be playing right into Ian's hands she screams in frustration kicking and punching everything around her deep in her thoughts on how to humiliate Ian Melissa had failed to recall what had originally happened during the ball in the novel she read 2 days before the ball Melissa goes out with Yona to pick a dress most Nobles preferred commissioning their dresses hiring an expert or traveling to foreign lands to get a dress unlike Melissa who still had not selected her dress not wanting anything too fancy or too beautiful she insists on a trashy dress that would disgust Ian and make him forget about the marriage announcement Jake enters just then instantly disgusted at his sister's behavior and Melissa calls calls out to Jake asking him what kind of maniac follows his sister to a dress shop Jake faces Melissa and rather than giving her a reply smirks and flips her off Jake admits that he didn't come because he wanted to which leads Melissa to endlessly provoke him by claiming she knew he in sent him calling him Ian's dog the siblings banter as Melissa goes through the dresses and Jake calls them disgusting not wanting to argue further Melissa indirectly tells Jake through Yona to piss off and when he refuses she again tells him indirectly to wear the bald dress instead and Mary Ian in her place now hear me out she gets no reply from Jake and turns to leave the dress shop outside Yona reminds her that she should have picked a dress long ago given how near the ball is and Melissa Broods over how she has no sense of fashion or social skills to hold even a basic conversation she's talking about you guys as they cross the market Melissa notices a man lying in a sideway alley Melissa steps towards him discovering a stench coming from the lying body just as Yona cautions her not to get too close to him the lying body is thin with its face down and Long messy hair velissa thinks of what to do with him when an idea to humiliate Ian suddenly strikes her and she starts laughing sinisterly right with Newfound Spirit she extends her hand offering to help him Melissa offers the beggar some food he takes the opportunity and she snatches him up got to catch him all I believe the beggar turns out to be particularly good-looking and Melissa is spot-on with her intuition spending her whole life around good-looking men Melissa developed an Eagle Eye for spotting good looks her idea is to use this beggar to screw Ian over Yona attempts to voice her disapproval but instantly changes sides when Melissa offers her a quadruple Rays Melissa is surprised at how materialistic she is but to be honest I understand as they're leaving on the carriage Melissa wonders if they're forgetting something and end up leaving a salty Jake behind they sneak him into the Mansion through the back door she offers to wash him up with her own hands but he shakes his head profusely so she lets him do it himself Melissa plans to give Ian a taste of his own medicine and take the beggar to the ball as her partner after cleaning him up amidst all the rumors that will happen due to this stunt she intends to spread the idea that Melissa fodra can stand on her own two feet she doesn't care for her reputation as it's already in the mud her only goal is to put to rest the rumor that she is head over heels for the Crown Prince Melissa formally invites the beggar to attend the party as her partner he looks perplexed so Melissa explains that she won't force him to attend but he will reward it nicely if he agrees so he accepts by nodding his head Melissa calls him handsome and he gets bashful all of a sudden which makes her laugh out loud she asks for his name but she fails to remember that he cannot answer as he doesn't have a tongue she instantly feels guilty but Yona swoops in with a pen and paper his name is nine and he thanks Melissa for giving a person with no home an opportunity like this Melissa again feels remorseful for using such a kind person for her Antics and they eat dinner the time has come for the ball and Yona informs Melissa that the Crown Prince is outside side waiting Melissa is dressed up and so is nine she takes his hand and assures him to trust her which makes him start blushing again he must have gone to an all boy High School the way he's awkward they reach the carriage and find the ever handsome Ian waiting for Melissa out front what he doesn't know is that Melissa has an ace up her sleeve a man much more attractive than anyone else talk about a step up she clears her throat and Ian notices her she presents herself arm in-arm with nine Ian tries to hide his surprise as he comes face to face with nine and asks Melissa about nine Melissa introduces him as her partner and reminds Ian that he had never before accepted her request to be his partner so she brought along another partner instead she proceeds to taunt Ian by saying that he can easily ask another lady instead and turns towards her carriage after having her plan successful Ian calls out to her that he brought his Carriage with him but Melissa reminds him that riding the Imperial Carriage with Ian and her partner would be humiliating for Ian and would also put her in an awkward situation she leads nine to her carriage cracking in up and fully enjoying the turn of events she is laughing and fully satisfied with humiliating Ian as she rides the carriage with nine to the Imperial Palace there are levels to being petty at the ball people stare and Whisper as Melissa ignores Ian completely while coddling up nine no Noble approaches Ian or Melissa preferring to stay far from this drama and the atmosphere becomes tense on Ian's Q the music for the first dance of the night starts and the guests start to disperse from the Dance Floor Melissa finds their dancing messy because they are trying to peek at her nine and Ian whilst dancing just then Ian approaches her and asks her for a dance Melissa's pleasure is unmatched as the villainous refuses to dance with him as she makes him dance at her fingertips having a moral victory over Ian Melissa remarks that her partner as well as her father doesn't approve of her dancing with other people Ian cautions her that doing this serves her no benefit Melissa makes a mockery of Ian by taking a small dessert from a waiter Throwing It To The Ground claiming it slipped she then proceeds to smash it with with her heel and says that her feet slip easily thus why she is advised not to dance the dedication to the craft is real Ian backs off and scurries Away to dance with another girl Melissa gives n a victory glass and Whispers some words in his ear she thanks him for doing a great job and Promises to reward him later they toast to it but suddenly Nan's mood drops and he shows a bleak expression he Ms sorry to Melissa before rushing out of the ball reverse Cinderella out here Melissa is left disoriented as she wonders what happened the conclusion she arrives at is that he must have run to a bathroom she waits for him to return but two hours pass by and he's still not back she wonders if he ditched her or lost his way in the palace and decides to look for nine herself before people start thinking that she is alone there without a partner putting her glass on the table she moves ahead in hopes of finding nine again outside in the garden Melissa searches for nine but can't find him she almost goes to the men's washroom just when she meets Yuri the protagonist of the novel who would soon be alluring all the four leads to her Melissa recognizes her instantly and accidentally says her name which causes Yuri to ask whether she knew her Melissa backtracks immediately but Yuri apologizes instead telling Melissa how she must have heard all the rumors about Yuri being adopted by Baron Elizabeth it is revealed that the adoption of commoners by noble families is very uncommon and that Yuri's acceptance into the Elizabeth household meant her magical powers were extraordinary however due to Yuri's status as a commoner the news had spread as a hot gossip topic every where Melissa compliments Yuri on her beauty and then she takes her leave just as Ian arrives in the garden as Melissa turns Ian arrives at the scene and in an instant his eyes fall on Yuri Melissa watches in Surprise as Ian falls in love with Yuri at First Sight his face turns red and his mouth opens in awe Melissa is surprised at herself for having forgotten a key scene in the novel which is the first meeting of Yuri and Ian at the ball she is reminded of how she is an extra character in a novel of main protagonists feeling like like a fish out of water in Yuri's Love Story back at her manner Melissa complains about being unlucky and alone without nine meanwhile nine is seen running in the forest and encounters a Wolfman who attacks him nine regrets not having apologized to Melissa before leaving at the thought of rat Manor Martha slaps a day's Melissa back into shape since she wasn't listening Martha decided to stay in the manor for a while with the Duke's permission Melissa lost all motivation to do anything when she realized that Ian would eventually get his happy ending with Yuri with a food basket in her hand Martha forcibly takes Melissa on a picnic outside Melissa tries her best not to go as Martha's Cooking is akin to poison but Yona doesn't help her out and the inevitable happens outside Melissa mentally and physically prepares herself to eat Martha's food but she detects an incoming attack and jumps out of the way with Martha it is Jack foron one of Yuri's male leads as well as one of the strongest werewolves he's got a crude tongue and lets it know to Melissa but she provokes him back using his name he is surprised to learn that Melissa knows who he is and tells her to act smart if she wants to live he is the second most powerful werewolf and humans are akin to ants in his presence why do I hear Boss music he says he'll spare the rest of the man or servants if she complies with him as Melissa considers her options Jack is nearly shot in the foot from a distance Melissa recognizes the magic instantly as Jake comes running onto the scene holding his rifle Jake fired at Jack not to save the man or members but because Jack is a canine and Jake is alert I to dogs he's got his priorities straight Jake and Jack foron take shots at each other like that Spider-Man pointing at each other meme Jake experienced in Long Range combat shoots at Jack from far away while Jack experienced in close- range combat defends himself from Jake's firing as they continue their Fight The Manor and the surrounding Garden get damaged some servants get wounded and Martha stumbles and Falls Melissa finally snaps after seeing all this and shouts at both of them to stop she turns to Jack foron first yelling at him at how he started a fight despite trespassing without permission and then turns to Jake shouting at him since he couldn't protect his own house both of them freeze and do not utter a word sensing bloodthirst rolling off of her Melissa tells Jack to come next time with an official visit and ominously threatens to rip out all of his furs if he says another word she then calls down Jake and scolds him like a child for causing fear in the staff and damaging the manner witnessing such and Outburst the servants see her as their Savior and when Melissa afterwards rests inside they rush to her asking about her health and telling her how Brave she was Melissa thinks to herself how the servants never approached her before how their job must be tough dealing with a family of three nutcrackers and that if they didn't get good pay they would have quit ages ago skill gained empathy even though she only had the Outburst because of her anger she silently gloats at their compliments and thanks the servants for going through a lot when all the servants finally leave Melissa asks Yona to contact the Duke she contemplates how she can tame Jake and declares she wants to be introduced to the Empire's greatest sword master out on a walk with her dog Melissa finds an injured werewolf in the rain she has become Adept at swordsmanship in only a month and she is touted as a genius by her instructor while she never had an affinity for magic who knew swordsmanship would be her calling her practice is interrupted by a servant who brings her a letter it's a letter from the foron family the red string of tail fur binding the letter indicates that it was sent by Jack since he's the only member with red fur Melissa wonders why she got a letter now when there's still some time to his house invasion as it happened in the novel The Letter only asks about Nine's location she goes inside to see the werewolf from earlier who is still asleep she's convinced the wolf is nine but cannot properly confirm since he hasn't woken up she Pats him on the head before going out to train again a month passes by and Melissa asks for a favor from the Duke to get what she wants she guilt trips the Duke for spreading false rumors about her on Ian's orders she asks for a summer vacation for the employees and a raise for Yona which he is forced to Grant the employees desperately needed a vacation plus there won't be servants around when Jack comes back for round two the day of his visit has arrived and Melissa is joined by a servant named hiney she volunteered in yona's place but makes Melissa just a bit uncomfortable with her obsessive nature Melissa tells her to notify her if a red-haired man arrives at the gates but Jack decides to take the aerial route again this time Melissa is ready and slashes him out of the air like hitting a home run with your eyes closed Jack tumbles to the ground and crashes against the gate he is stunned at being flung by a human and asks Melissa what trick she used Melissa attributes the hit to her skills which is a total lie the truth is that later in the novel Ian will come across a basilio's imperial family treasure sword which has long been forgotten by the Imperial family and will use its strength to become the Empire's greatest Knight Melissa knowing this stole the sword and brought it with her Finders Keepers after all Melissa continued us to smack him and asks him why he barged him showing Melissa the scar above his left eye he tells her that werewolves do not get scars unless another wolf wounds them and that this scar was given to him by nine he tells her that nine used to be a werewolf but can't be fully called a werewolf now since his fangs and tongue got ripped due to betraying his kin adding how he should have killed nine instead nine escaped and ran into Melissa somehow and if she were to return nine to him he would stop bothering her before Jack can finish his emotional speech which convinces no one Melissa interrupts him kicking him to the ground and telling him to shut up she confirms with heiney about the manor being empty and proceeds to beat the living daylight out of Jack bloody and fully compliant he explains how nine ran away from the ball after being spotted by another wolf he escaped with an injury so they assumed he came to this manner Alissa scoffs at all his assumptions taunting him that he made such a Ruckus without even knowing whether nine was here or not she then Praises him and calls his bluff right as nine steps into the scene behind Melissa she tells Jack she won't ever hand over nine to him as he is one of her people now we see that Melissa had requested for nine to be employed as her Steward despite his status as a commoner Jack was unable to do anything to him because he is a member of the fod brat family now later she tells nine of her shock at finding a bloody wolf in her garden that later transformed into a human in front of her entering her room she asks him to lock the door behind her and then faints after throwing up blood in her dream Melissa meets a crying girl who asks for her future husband Ian Melissa seems to have forgotten everything and can't remember Ian and the girl says they haven't seen each other in 2 years because he's always busy nobody let her see the current Ian Melissa calls him toxic so the girl inspired by Jake's coolness copies him unleashing a series of punches accompanied by a weird noise as usual kid stuff seeing this Melissa has a strong gut feeling that Jake won't grow up to be normal either the girl tells her to leave calling her useless but Melissa tells her that she has stopped crying and that she is a big girl who doesn't need anybody she tells Melissa how she likes Ian wants to get along with Jake and wants to raise a dog as she is terrified of wolves the girl points out that although they are both Melissa fod brat they are very different suddenly the space shatters and they hear voices calling for Melissa the girl tells Melissa that the voices are for her and encourages her to continue being independent and causing chaos rather than seeking meaningless love like her and they bump fists Melissa suddenly wakes up to the sight of her sobbing servants she wakes up to a sobbing nine is all the servants around her Scurry trying to look for a doctor she assures nine that she'll protect him and thinks that he wouldn't have been with her if it was the original Melissa who was deathly scared of wolves this is her doing she joins the ever aloof Duke for dinner and proceeds to ask him for a vacation in a precious fatherdaughter bonding session it's revealed that she got injured by Jake's bite while fighting him and his unique werewolf energy is actively offsetting her magic causing adverse reactions in the body like earlier she plans to go to Lipton for the vacation an area with excess wastelands the real reason for this journey is to find Yuri who has healing magic capable of curing every illness including ny's tongue the guilty crew consisting of Melissa nine and Yona set out on the journey she remembers a scene from the novel where Jake takes Yuri through a secret route to avoid Melissa's Tantrums she intends to put that route to good use Melissa coughs up blood in the carriage which is getting more frequent she wakes up from a nap as the carage comes to a stop outside they are surrounded by Bandits who want everything they are holding she holds nine back as it would be dangerous for him to fight in his weakened State the Bandit leader decides to give them a pass for he has caught a beautiful girl in lip ton Melissa thinks there is no chance of such a coincidence happening her worst fear comes true when the Bandit leader shows them a captured Yuri who can't help but laugh at this sudden encounter Melissa thinks the whole setting is cliche With Yuri being caught by Bandits and some male lead probably set up to rescue her rather than waiting for any lead she grabs her sword and takes matters into her own hands a few moments later Yuri is rescued and with all the bandits down press F to pay respect Melissa with blood all over her clothes introduces herself to Yuri Yuri asks whether she is all right and Melissa brushes her off boasting about her fighting skills instead she asks in return whether Yuri is all right and how she always marveled at Baron Elizabeth's love for Yuri while reading the novel with the werewolf energy and her energy wreaking havoc inside her she falls to the ground and passes out Melissa wakes up in Elizabeth Manor in Lipton With Yuri beside her who tells her that she had knocked out Melissa herself she tells her that she has been sleeping for 4 days to recover and how nine had been waiting outside the door all this time Melissa thanks Yuri for looking after her and Yuri thanks her back in return for saving her life she tells Melissa that Baron would like to compensate her for her act the baron state is an exclusive State similar to The Werewolf State and does not Grant access to most people so Melissa is grateful for this opportunity Melissa tells Yuri of her sickness and asks her for help Yuri asks Melissa for some time to let her research in the library on this and leaves just then one werewolf enters the room and jumps on Melissa Melissa panics as she is unable to find her sword in time but comes face to face with nine in his wolf form with tears falling from his eyes Melissa warns nine of being in his werewolf form inside a mage estate but melts upon seeing his sobbing face and hugs him Yuri enters the room making Melissa shove him away Yuri mistakes him for the werewolf that bit her and nine growls back at her while usually calm the Elizabeth family members flare up against werewolves as they are complete opposites of each other their opposing energies either make Mages excessively hostile to werewolves or overly curious about them Yuri understands that there is no base for her claims she just wishes to protect Melissa because she saved Yuri despite Ian constantly chasing after her Melissa stops them and assures her that nine is one of her people she asks nine to leave the room and he unwi willingly has to leave moral victory for Yuri she shows Melissa a book that describes her problem and the easy way to deal with it just directly pouring in loads of magic energy forcibly pulls out the werewolf energy although she warns Melissa of the pain that comes with it but Melissa taking it lightly agrees to the process it was in fact not meant to be taken lightly as Melissa struggles to keep a straight face through it in front of Yuri she Compares it to some of the biggest pains that exist such as stubbing one's toe or landing on a brick of Legos she thanks Yuri for fixing her up they unexpectedly get hit with a musical serenade outside the residence Yuri appears to know the person performing in size they go to the balcony and find peacock Melody the last of the four male leads with a whole Orchestra down below Melissa thinks that he is extraordinarily wealthy and good-look but hides a more Sinister self under the guise of a kind man we will

around her and wishes he could treat her like a normal Master Melissa apologizes and offers ERS that nine can touch her hair from time to time as well nine hides the note he had written originally which was asking Melissa to cherish him more elsewhere a bird flutters and lands on peacock's arm handing him a note like a true super villain that states the details of Melissa's treasured sword and

the first question of whether her item is worth at least 50 million gold Melissa reluctantly says yes and in return asks if his item is a jewel peacock says yes and quickly shifts into asking if her item is beautiful under any condition Melissa finds the change of tone to a vague question peculiar but she is forced to say yes she asks if his jewel is pink to which he says no confidently peacock guesses the item is the same sword she wore by her hip the last time they met peacock sees her stunned and starts boasting but Melissa has him beaten by all accounts as she Shi her face into a smirk befitting of a vainus his answer is wrong Melissa planned this trap with Yuna and nine out of boredom and to make it appear more legitimate cut off a small lock of hair to be sent through yun's pigeon like a moth to a flame peacock walks right into the Trap and ends up giving Melissa half of the promised sum peacock is embarrassed by the humiliation and Melissa continues laying it on him as they start arguing Yuri urges everybody to stop arguing and to move on to the next question Melissa asks whether peacock's jewel is blue blue and peacock answers with a no Yuri tells him sweetly not to lie and Melissa uses this to taunt peacock even more Melissa wonders whether peacock is a mastermind like the novel's author claimed in the novel he never showed any specific intelligent moments and grew Rich quickly for the plot's sake she decides peacock is not an actual genius Mastermind much like how all the rest of the characters had different traits compared to what was shown in the novel the picture is always different than the product peacock starts asking her questions to guess her treasure but is unable to guess it meanwhile Melissa who has already read the novel knows peacock will propose to Yuri later in the plot with a blue diamond and make her guess her guess of the blue diamond is correct and so she tells peacock to piss off who yells at her to show her treasure first he reopens the box to show Melissa's and peacock finds a paper slip inside it he starts yelling that no paper could be expensive and a treasure when Melissa tells him that whatever is written on the paper slip is her treasure before he can read the slip Melissa's servants answer instead it is revealed that that the treasure is Melissa herself as no Jewel can compare to her beauty and no amount of money is more precious than her having won the battle she tells peacock to leave Yuri's house honestly you have to retire after that one at Yuri's house Yuri thanks Melissa profusely recalling how funny Melissa had been during the match Melissa tells Yuri that the time for her to leave has arrived but would Yuri do her a favor before her departure Yuri is delighted that Melissa asks her for a favor and urges to tell her what it is Melissa tells Yuri about Nine's missing teeth and fangs and asks her whether they can be restored through magic Yuri tells her that since nine is a werewolf the magic could have an adverse reaction on him if used directly so using a medium would be much more effective but somehow she'll make it work she tells Melissa she'll contact her once she's prepared to use the magic and further asks her to join her father and her for dinner on Baron Elizabeth's invitation Melissa agrees to the dinner and an energetic Yuri leaves the room planning for dinner Melissa thinks about her former and new life and falls asleep in the process only to wake up at dinner time she hurriedly rushes to the dinner with NY and Yona and enters the dining room which is filled with loud laughter and drunkards conversing loudly Baron welcomes Melissa and invites her to sit beside him as the feast is in her honor he continues that since Melissa is late as a punishment she should drink Melissa recalls that in the novel Baron was Infamous for getting everybody drunk and as she doesn't know how much alcohol her current body can handle she tries to avoid drinking Baron hands a bowl of wine to her and asks her to drink Melissa is fed up and chugs Down The Whole Bowl in one go you're only one drink away from becoming an alcoholic as they say as everybody drinks around her and starts falling Melissa realizes she can handle alcohol really well and in the end she is the winner whereas everybody else has passed out she decides to get out after finding NY and Yona and heads to search for them as she searches in the hall NY comes at her from behind hugging her and plants a kiss on her neck Melissa is enveloped in a back hug from nine who reeks of alcohol she wonders what to do and just then she spots Yona across the hall whose neck and arms are full of jewelry yonah explains that she won all the jewels from winning Bets with the Mages both of them somehow move a drunk nine to his room and Yona soon leaves Melissa is about to leave when she realizes nine looks uncomfortable in his Butler clothes and to relieve his discomfort she starts to strip his outer clothes nine in his sleep reaches out and pushes Melissa against himself at a boy Lena is embarrassed but soon realizes nine is shivering underneath her and she wers whether he might be having a nightmare she starts patting his head to sooth him once he is calm nah leaves the room in a hurry and wonders whether the situation with nine seemed weird in the morning Melissa is ready to leave with nine and Yona Yuri keeps apologizing to her about her drunk behavior during the feast and Melissa tells her she didn't mind it as they head through the forest to the Coach House Melissa wonders how to console nine who seems to be filled with shame and won't listen to her at all she notices fur on n's jacket and tells him to be careful as somebody could know notice it nine takes off his jacket and flings it in the air causing somebody in the bushes to sneeze he flaps the jacket again and the same reaction follows Melissa is annoyed at this and calls out to Jake to come out of the bushes she asks him what he is doing out here and knowing his answer well proceeds to ask him whether he was out here stalking Yuri the Imperial palace's assassin is kept busy it seems Melissa asks Jake whether he is in lit pun to stalk Yuri and he claims he has only come here to see her not stalk her at the same time Ian the scene with a flower bouquet in his hand and is shocked to see Melissa exclaiming he was sure she would have left already at the Elizabeth Manor Melissa sits down to have tea with the four main leads and Yuri she plans to tag along with the male leads whenever they approach Yuri and obstruct their efforts at all costs Melissa sips her tea and asks Yuri whether it was black tea Yuri tells her that it's not black tea but a tea made out of herbs that she discovered while making medicine Alissa inquires whether the medicine she's talking about for 9: and whether it's ready yurri tells her that she can hand over the medicine right after the Tea Party Ian interrupts them by reminding Yuri had invited him personally to this tea party and that he was feeling lonely with both of them chattering he then calls Yuri beautiful and suggests giving a gift to her Yuri appreciates the sentiments but refuses the gift and Ian insists asking her whether her refusal is because of him saving her before Melissa wonders why Yuri is arranging a tea party in the first place since she is not comfortable with the male leads but chooses not to question her actions as Yuri is the main female lead of the novel she instead tells Ian that the both of them were whispering to each other because they found the leads to be distasteful and hence did not want to converse with them she shakes her teacup up and down and sinisterly yells why wouldn't they just fall off ending Her speech with the fact that she was talking about tea leaves rather than the leads themselves now that's got a hurt she gets up and exclaims that to take responsibility for everybody's ruined moods she'll personally escort them to their homes before Melissa leaves Yuri hands the medicine to her Yuri afterward wonders how every day with Melissa is blissful and wishes to escape from her curse Yuri is building suspense out of thin air Melissa calls nine who responds instantly with a written response and asks him whether he's free she takes nine to a secluded Terrace with a beautiful view of the sky with all the stars she tells nine that she brought him here to set the mood as she wanted to hear him speak first and to hear his remarks about the beautiful scenery above them grinning cheekily she hands nine a red potion and tells him that the magical medicine will reg grow Nan's fangs and tum NY is stunned to hear this and thinks why she would go to such lengths Melissa feels satisfied with ny's trust in her and tells him that it's because he is one of her people we learn that nine has had a troubled upbringing he was always alone and not Fierce for a werewolf when foron cut his fangs and tongue and even when he was in the streets as a beggar he never took anything done to him personally he had no hope that somebody would love him or that somebody would take him in and thus for Melissa to give him such care and accept him as his own is shocking to him he gulps the medicine and tolerates the pain that comes with it as his fangs and tongue regrow he speaks his first words and calls out Melissa's name he repeats her name again and again and kneels on one knee grabbing her hand he tells her that her newly grown fangs and tongue are a gift from her and thus they belong to her only now we know why they cut his tongue off he goes on that he shall stay to serve for as long as she is willing and plants a kiss on her hand somebody is cheeky with his warts Melissa tells him how she appreciates this that he is too nice and if he keeps doing his work well he will continue to stay with her she tells him to get up and he grumbles that since his fangs are back he has all the strength now and kneeling won't weaken him at all Melissa jokes that since his voice is nice he will tolerate his talking back to her nine asks Melissa whether she likes his voice and she tells him that she does he embarrassingly says that he will let her hear more of it the next day Yona and Melissa discuss the upcoming Festival the festival is meant for commoners or Nobles who don't care about social status

go on a date with her during the festival nine drops the China he is holding in shock and nervously asks her whether she's serious deciding to tease him she tells him if he doesn't want to go she can go with somebody else and nine instantly rushes to say yes to her she admits to nine that it wouldn't be a real date as he would just have to pretend to be her partner just like during the ball and that Yuri and Ian would be with them as well Melissa remembers that in the novel Ian and Yuri have a big scene during the festival and so she wants to crush Ian in case the opportunity arises taking nine with her is to assure everybody that she is not the jealous villainess who wants to break up the couple Melissa teases nine that he cannot disappear on her this time and he assures her with an intense gaze that he will never run away again which stuns Melissa he takes his leave with the instructions to post Melissa's letter to Yuri after he has left Melissa's heart races uncontrollably Bros Got That longlasting RZ later at the festival Melissa walks along with a day nine who is amazed at the beauty of the festival as Melissa and nine wander around looking for Yuri and Ian they spot a crowd and on closer observation find both of them in the midst Ian who is wearing a flashy outfit apologizes to Yuri that he's sorry to attract such attention despite attempting to wear a less attractive outfit and tells her she shouldn't feel jealous of other women around her as none of them interested him he ain't fooling no one with such excuses Yuri comments on how he has been answering everyone's calls and greetings nonetheless and he laughs this off smoothly Melissa is annoyed that despite nine having Superior looks than Ian he isn't getting the same attention as him Yuri spots
