Villains also get Second chance

When they say enemies always meet at the narrow path, it could not suit anyone else better than us.

"Killian, can you see the poor girl there? She may lose her job because of your aunt, would you mind if I interfere and save her?" i asked Killian as i didn't want him to feel like i was trying to insult Isabella intentionally.

He shook his head, "i understand mother, these days aunt is behaving strange." he said and i patted his shoulders, 

She was not behaving strange, we could see her true colours by now.

I stood up and Roselia stood too, I shook my head but she ignored as she pointed at her uniform and I sighed.

"Is there any problem, young girl?" I asked, completely avoiding Isabella standing there.

Isabella's eyes widened looking at me and then her eyes searched around, for a second her eyes halted at Killian but then it moved further. 

She took a breath of relief, when she did not find the man she was searching for, and then she looked at me sharply, "it's my personal matter, your highness, i prefer i will handle it myself." she said politely but i did not even spare her a glance, much less replying to her.

"Your highness" the girl bowed, bending her more than half and I just shook my head.

"Rise," and when she stood up I saw a bright yellow dress in her hands. Real diamonds, silver thread and silver powder were used for the bodice, as for hemline there were several layers more than usual, the embroidery was enchanting, was Isabella blind to reject this dress because it was not golden.

"What is the matter here?" I asked , taking the dress from her hands.

"Your highness.." the girl stopped looking at Isabella and my eyes followed when i saw the glare she was giving to the young girl.

"As i said, this is my personal issue and i don't like the interference of others." she said with more pressure this time and I nodded.

"Very well, so you want to reject this dress?" I asked and she glared back at me.

"Since Isabella did not want to speak over the matter, i apologise, but you have to speak little girl, what is your name.'' I asked the girl again.

"Olivia.. Your highness"

"So, Olivia, tell me, have you made this dress?" I asked and she nodded with fear.

"It's a beautiful dress, is it for sale?" I asked and she looked at Isabella with fearful eyes but nodded.

"Very well, ten i will pay for it, this dress is mine now." i said and Kate forwarded the gold coins to the sales girl standing behind and watching the show. 

Sales Girl's eyes gleamed looking at the gold coins and she bowed her head with a bright smile.

"No, this dress is mine." yelled Isabella and I looked at her as if she was a fool.

"Have you paid for it?" I asked, raising a brow.

"I am the one who ordered it." she said, with a haughty tone.

"And rejected it too, since you have denied from paying for it, the dress did not belong to you anymore." i added and she looked at the girl, if the girl changed her statement now, then she was not worth saving in my eyes.

The girl looked at me and then at Isabella and kept her eyes on the floor.

"Lady of Wiltshire, had denied to buy the dress, because she wanted the dress with gold embroidery not silver." though her voice was low, and I could sense fear for her, it was still clear.

"Still, the dress would belong to me, even if I buy it or not." said Isabella haughtily, had she lost her mind with just one slap.

"Who are you, the owner of this boutique or the empress, you are not even a monique and as you claimed to me last night," my voice turned into a whisper

I came close to her ears, "you are nothing but a cheap paramour, who is sleeping with a married man, for now it is one, but who knows about the future, you who would rot in a room all your life, I will make sure you do." I patted her shoulders.

She raised her hand in anger, listening to my words, which I held in such a tight grip that she was not even able to move.

'Poor girl, can't understand her own trick' "Roselia, this girl had attempted to hurt me in public, arrest her and take her to the prison.'' I announced and her eyes widened.

"But I did not slap you." she shouted and I shook my head.

"Did i say that, or have your ears stopped working too. I said you attempted to hurt me." I repeated and she looked at me with horror understanding the gravity of the situation.

"You can not do this to me" she shouted as Roselia held her hand.

I chuckled, "oh my, such a confidence, even when my knight had already held you." I mocked and shook her head.

"I am Killian's aunt. I am Elizabeth's sister. I am blood related to him," she shouted and everyone started looking at us.

"You may be her aunt, but I am his mother." I announced and she laughed.

"You are just a step mother, you are using him as a stepping stone, you think Killian would not realise it? It is just a matter of time when Killian will see your reality" she shouted and I closed my eyes. Did she forget that we are in public?

"According to rule no. 566 of the royal book, which the emperor had written himself, anyone who spread the rumours about the emperor and his family with vassals, will be accused of treason. Did you forget who was in just a single night, Isabella? This time i will make sure you get the punishment to remember it your lifetime.'' I added and Roselia dragged her out.
