Chapter 1: Assassin in a princess clothing

Serina's POV

"I'm wearing a dress on top of another, and another dress." who the hell popularized this sh*t? I just want to give him one blow. I'm already irritated, and this is pissing me off. Now, I'm like a walking ticking bomb. Piss me off and I'll lead your way to hell.

Words aren't enough to express my anger right now. "Lady Serina, the Duchess is summoning you to the l-library." This maid is the only person who really cares about Serina, I think they're friends. Then I'll spare one soul here. I didn't answer her and just go down to the library.

I'm pretty obedient huh, oh well just think of it as me after to my prey. Shall I kill her real quick? Or torment her just like what they have been doing to the other Serina? *smirks* I'd love to do the second option. I want to skin her off with her little chick. 

"The mistress is now entering." this kind of entrance is not flashy at all, literally not my style. I always showed up with bullets showering, or at least me throwing daggers while aiming at their hearts or heads. 

I wasn't looking at her but I senses her slapping me so I slap her ahead, everyone who has seen it is in shock. Oh well why not? "Slapping me right after I enter? Did you drop your manners somewhere off?"  I am glaring at her, "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SLAP ME!" Why the hell she's about to cry? I didn't exert that much force though, If I did I might have dislocated her spinal cord that connects her body to her head.

"Cut the nonsense, you're the one who thought of slapping me first, I just give you what you want." They are not a worthy opponent, I'm wasting my time. "I'm going back." I said without turning back even though she's still talking. It's nonsense anyway.

While walking in the empty hall, I saw the guards gathering outside, "Riz, what are they doing?" I asked and she replied "They are out for practicing their swordsmanship Milady." I stopped and observe how they move. After ten minutes, "Ugh I can't stand this"  They aren't even holding their swords correctly. These people are completely noob, they wouldn't be able to save a single soul with that terrible swordsmanship.

"Milady are we going back?" I shake my head, "I'll go there, inform them." her eyebrows furrowed. "W-wait your highness it's dangerous to go there!" Is she even serious? "Just do what I say." I said and she quickly run out.

There's no way to go back in the previous world where I originally belong. I can't live a normal life either, because I'm not a normal human being. Then  I'll deal with all of them first, then I'll enjoy myself freely.  

I am now standing in front of them, with their heads bowed down except for one person. "Captain bow down your head." If I'm not mistaken that was the vice-captain and the captain itself. "I don't bow down my head to weaklings." heh, this is exciting, "Though what are you doing here princess?" 

"Good question, though I wonder who is this weakling you're talking to" I grab the sword on his scabbard around his waist. They were put in silence, "Y-your highness please withdraw the s-" I glare at the vice captain that made him shiver in fear. I guess I should smile, I don't wish to kill these innocent people who're working in peace with my eyes. I remember that I was able to kill a man with a glare, well it gave him a heart attack that lead him to death.

But when I smile it's as if all of their blood gather to their faces, they are all red, w-what the f*ck? So does that mean I should not make any facial expression in front of them? "You guys aren't holding your swords correctly, how can you be able to save a single soul with your swordsmanship." the captain is observing me, and then he smiled. 

"It seems like the princess knew how to use that sword, will you teach us then." he's obviously looking down on me. "Do the honor of sparring me then." I saw their jaws drop. They were unable to stop us since we give off this spine-chilling vibe. He is smiling, hiding his pissed face. 

"Would you like to change your clothes first?" well I guess so, "I'll ruin the mood if I do that." my skills wouldn't decrease because of what I'm wearing and the same thing goes with my new body. He took the initiative to attack me first, he's quite good but he's slow, his left feet is sprained, oh and I was able to dodge all of his attacks, when my turn comes, just with a single swing, his sword flew out.

"You're good but slow, rest for at least a day, your feet must be recovered by tomorrow." I'm being kind here, and this is making me feel off. The previous Serina is known to be kind and easily outwitted. Definitely my opposite. "From today onwards I'll watch you guys, the Collins Empire will be a kingless kingdom. I'll manage everything. For now, run for five hours and take some rest, without stamina your swordsmanship is nothing." 

"I'll be going now." I said and they all bow down ex--"Seems like you found your master  Captain, am I late?" I smirked and left them dumbfounded. "Y-your highness, what's gotten into you lately?" I sighed, "I just wanted to be tough, I'll never let anyone take advantage of me again." 

"*sobs* thank you your highness." I pat her head, she is tormented more gravely than the previous Serina. "Call the head butler and advisor, I'll be in the library." she nodded. I head inside and no one is here other than me. I gather all the political books I've seen, and everything about this kingdom. 

"It's fifteen books in total." that's quite a lot, they are thick as well. I'll be able to finish this until sunrise. I better start now. It's like reading all the info to my next mission. *sigh* I have a lot of things to do from now on. I'll cultivate this body to become a perfect match for my abilities. I don't have any weakness, but now I'm in a total disadvantage.

"Greetings Your highness, you called for us?" I nodded while reading the book, "Please have a seat, I'll discuss something." even without looking, I can tell that they are confused. They're giving a vibe of 'what's happening'.

"I end the engagement with Grey's house earlier, and I don't wish to give the throne to my incompetent uncle." they are shock yet their faces are so serious, well this is a serious matter, after all we're talking about the future of this kingdom.

"Then do you have a plan your highness?" I nodded to the advisor's question. "I'll take over the throne, we can't leave it empty for another month, we can't find brother either." they don't sound against nor agree to what I'm saying. "I'm well aware that this isn't easy, but I'm at least capable."

"Do you plan to dispose the Duke and Duchess, Your Highness?" -Head Butler

"Yes please, I'd hate to see those financial leeches again, I don't have a hobby of collecting trash." they chuckled, well it really is funny, I bet they are against to those brainless couple, and spoiled bitch too. "Very well then your highness, we will excuse ourselves for now." I just nod my head. 

"Y-Your Highness!" Riz's loud voice stopped the advisor and the head butler from leaving the room. "What is it Riz?" she bow down her head, "I'm sorry Your Highness, but this is urgent."  she handed me the letter and I open it to read.

"The northern region is inviting me for a banquet, for the second prince's birthday, this doesn't sound good nor bad as long as they aren't offering me marriage." their jaws literally dropped. "Their intention are obvious, but that's a good thing Your Highness, please think it over." what's so good of political marriage? It's taking advantage with each other, and it's like I sell the kingdom without any profits. I will definitely refuse. "Whatever."
