The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

That day when Michelle had been staring down at the ground from the rooftop, she never once dared to imagine that a day would come when she finally gets justice.

After all, the one who had been responsible for everything was a rich man's son, and she was just a poor girl with average looks. Maybe if she had been a 'country toppling beauty', Michelle would have had the extravagant dreams of a dashing hero seeking justice on her behalf someday, but she knew her own reality.

No one would ever care, even if Michelle died.

Michelle Reeves, whose only good quality was being able to paint slightly better than average. What a joke her life was, and her death was even funnier.

Maybe even George would forget that she existed within a few days.

At least, she used to think so. But today, thanks to her princess, the one suffering now was that very same George who once looked down on her, and not only him. Even his mother and brother were there with them, being dragged into the 'police van'.

Apparently, they had been trying to escape and go into hiding until the matter was ready to be swept under the rug, however, they had been caught halfway through.

Of course, this was a lie. The ones they had been trying to escape were the Sullivan family's people, and the ones they had been caught by were from the White Deer.

As for where they had been trying to escape to… it was precisely the police.

Their biggest mistake… was calling the commissioner to have them arrested, just to be sure nothing went wrong.

"Look, Crystal, thanks to you… they finally got what they deserved."

Crystal squeezed Emilia's hand as she watched the 'policemen' push the trio into the van. She had already been to the station earlier with Emilia, where she had seen them slowly consolidate evidence from the various 'witnesses'.

Although most of them only confessed because they themselves were involved in the bullying, and hoped to get out of it by cooperating with the law, Crystal was sure that their testimonies should be enough to at least prove that what happened to Michelle was real.

As long as Emilia could ensure that George's medical report proved him not to be deranged, his punishment was unavoidable.

There was a feeling of fulfillment and elation in her eyes that the girl never had before, something that no one would realize was missing until it was found.

A newfound confidence and pride in her talent awakened inside Crystal, and along with it came a wave of admiration and trust for the girl who had believed in her before she even believed in herself.

"Thank you, Emilia."

Michelle watched the blonde girl kiss the cheek of her princess, and wondered how someone could be so lucky. Just because of the smell of her blood, this girl had such a beautiful vampire princess practically begging to lick her feet with every step.

It was like having a particular size and shape of breasts automatically spawned a fairytale suitor, along with an entire kingdom, just to worship someone as their future queen.

Thinking about it… that was not far from the truth.

She couldn't help but sigh. 'No… to be the cherished servant of the princess… I'm already happy.'

Meanwhile, Justine squinted her eyes as she tried to spot which one among Emilia's entourage was the Hawk Owl Eagle thing that she had to be so careful of. Of course, the term was quite a mouthful, and in her mind, Justine had already shortened it to HOE.

"Hm… the HOE should be either the boyish girl or the blondie, right?"

But no matter how she tried to look, neither of them seemed the type to pay much attention to their surroundings, much less be someone who'd warrant the level of attention to detail that Emilia had her keep for this 'mission'.

Justine couldn't help but sigh as she was about to put away her binoculars after one final look, but at that moment, the blonde girl looked straight at her… and smiled.

"Fuck!"

Justine almost jumped back in shock as she dropped the binoculars before hurriedly picking them back up to look again. Of course, the blonde was once again engrossed in talking and giggling with her friends, and didn't seem to know of her existence at all.

"S-Shit, that's definitely her! Even from so far away, she spotted me? The HOE is a terrifying creature as expected!"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Of course, there was no way for Crystal to spot Justine from so far away, it was just Emilia's way of scaring her for being so naughty.

She had clearly told the woman to not make any suspicious movements, and she still did this kind of thing.

Granted, she did it in a way that wouldn't allow Crystal to notice anything wrong, but she was still disobedient.

Emilia couldn't help but sigh. 'Hmm… And to think she used to be so scared of me when we first met… I guess I'll have to punish her a little, or she'll keep getting more and more disobedient.'

As for how she knew about Justine's actions… well, that was because Emilia never put all her eggs in one basket if she could avoid it. For a matter that involved such a major political opponent, of course she had Noelle monitoring the overall situation as well.

Justine's 'suspicious' activity would of course be reported to her right away. Though her real punishment would have to wait till later, after Emilia was done dealing with the current matter.

As for how she did it… well, all she had to do was make Crystal look in the direction she knew Justine was in, and make her smile. For Emilia, it was too easy.

"Look, Crystal, what's that, flying towards the watchtower? Is it a bird? Is it a plane?"

Crystal, who was in a good mood thanks to 'justice being served', looked over with a smile, but it quickly turned to confusion. "H-Huh? I don't see anything?"

'Well, hopefully, that did the trick. As long as she was paying attention, it should be enough to scare someone like Justine.'

Of course, she couldn't leave her poor heroine confused. "Oh… I was making a plane joke. But you know what happens to bad plane jokes…? They never land."

Crystal couldn't help but burst into giggles.
