The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Regardless, even if he had been a capable businessman, she would still not have any intentions of going along with his wishes to marry someone she didn\'t like.

Even when her father had been the king, whose words were law, she never had any intention of letting this kind of thing happen to herself. Emilia had fully intended to run away and hide if he really passed that kind of \'decree\' while she was still powerless to resist.

Thankfully, that man had never seemed to care for her.

That being said, teaching a lesson to the villainess\'s father was easier said than done.

First of all, she couldn\'t cause him any \'damage\' in terms of business prospects or public image. Not only would that be the same as hurting herself, it would also be quite pointless. Even if he suffered like that, it wouldn\'t prevent him from interfering in her life in the future.

She had to make it so that he completely gave up \'meddling\' with her personal life, and Emilia knew just the perfect way to do so.

Since she needed Sam\'s cooperation, Emilia of course used her most effective coercion tactic on the sis-con: acting cute.

Unfortunately, Samantha was too shocked by her words, and she didn\'t short-circuit like the last time Emilia was so close. She couldn\'t believe her little sister\'s plan at all. "Y-You\'re serious?!"

Emilia nodded with a smile. Although Samantha\'s cooperation would give her plan the greatest \'impact\', she could understand if the girl didn\'t want to go along with it. "If you\'re too disgusted, I can always find someone else and change my plan a little—"

"NO! I\'ll do it! I\'m willing!"

Perhaps realizing that her response had been too enthusiastic, Samantha coughed, embarrassed. "Ahem, I-I mean, how can I not do this little favor for you? O-Of course I\'m willing."

With the hero still being hospitalized, Emilia was able to carry out most of her plans quite smoothly over the next few days.

Although she found his situation hilarious when she heard about it from Noelle, Emilia didn\'t allow herself to get complacent. Her father\'s \'actions\' had made her well aware that Amos and his father weren\'t the only sources of trouble she had to face.

After all, her mission goals included being the richest, most famous, and most successful person in the world. A winner of life, so to speak. How can she be a winner without defeating countless others? At this point, Amos Black was just one of her opponents.

Emilia\'s reputation in the Imperial Academy was already quite good, except for class B. While the riot caused by her \'knights\' was unexpected, it was still an opportunity she could exploit, and she did.

As she handled the students from class B one by one, she was able to manipulate their impression of herself considerably when combined with the rapidly circulating rumors about Amos and the bully duo already softening their \'resolve\' of hating her.

Although she didn\'t expect them to begin admiring her anytime soon, Emilia didn\'t particularly care enough to go that far. All she needed from them was to not cause undue hindrance to her plans in the future.

Unlike the students in Class S and Class A, once she was done with the academy, the Class B students were of little actual use.

The atmosphere in Class B, which had turned strange ever since Don and Braxy were \'assaulted\' by Emilia that day, had finally returned to \'normal\'.

Adele, the \'traitor\', was quite delighted to see many of her classmates regretting being prejudiced against her princess.

"We simply didn\'t know all the details, and made hasty judgments."

This seemed to be the general consensus.

Of course, Adele didn\'t think this was enough for them to be \'forgiven\'. Simply put, no one else from class B deserved the kindness that her princess showed them. Only she, who had never badmouthed her from the start, actually deserved her praise.

Therefore, even if they had \'changed their mind\', Adele had no intention of inviting them to join Emilia\'s knight order. But they were free to make their case to Penny if they so wished.

"To think Braxy and Don were like that though, huh…"

"I know, right? I never got that kind of feeling from them, you know?"

"Idiot! As if you can just tell that kind of thing from some feeling? What kind of feeling would an abusive threesome relationship even give?"

The boy rolled his eyes. He obviously meant that his gaydar hadn\'t been triggered, and not that he couldn\'t point out the exact kind of relationship they had. "Bah, you know what I mean."

Just like the two of them, many others had also put their hatred of Emilia behind them as they focused more on the gossip about Amos and his affair with their missing classmates.

Not everyone was like them though, and some focused on an entirely different aspect of their \'affair\'.

The three boys behind Adele\'s bench were having that very discussion at the moment.

The first boy sighed in regret. "If you think about it, Emilia was in the right to beat them up, wasn\'t she?"

His friend nodded. "Well yeah, I would do the same if someone snatched away my fiancé, whether I had feelings for her or not!"

The third boy snorted. "True. I hate NTR!"

The first boy couldn\'t help but tilt his head in confusion, having never heard that term before. "What\'s that?"

The boy who had previously exclaimed his hatred for NTR shuddered as he stood up to leave for the restroom. "You don\'t wanna know…"

Of course, not everyone had \'good intentions\'. Once the third boy had left, the first boy\'s friend grinned. "It\'s a category of interesting stories, but not everyone likes them.. You should definitely check it out at least once, though. Here, I\'ll recommend you some…"
