Chapter 72: A Villainess Declares War (And Fails Immediately)
Seraphina glared daggers at Lucien.
"I swear, I will make you regret this."
Lucien smirked.
"Oh? And how exactly do you plan to do that, darling?"
Seraphina paused.
"…I'll think of something."
Lila snorted from the side.
"Wow. Terrifying."
Seraphina huffed.
"Traitor."
Lila grinned.
"I prefer 'loyal spectator.'"

Plan A: Escape Like a Dignified Villainess
Seraphina waited until Lucien was momentarily distracted.
Then, she made a run for it.
She got exactly three steps before Lucien casually grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back.
Seraphina screamed internally.
"LET ME GO!"
Lucien smiled, completely unfazed.
"No."
Lila applauded.
"That was pathetic."

Plan B: Bribery
Seraphina turned to Lucien with her most innocent look.
"What if I promise to be good?"
Lucien laughed.
"I would die of shock if that happened."
Seraphina gritted her teeth.
"Okay, fine. What if I give you gold?"
Lucien chuckled.
"I'm already rich, darling."
Seraphina tried again.
"Power?"
Lucien leaned closer.
"I already have plenty."
Seraphina narrowed her eyes.
"…A handwritten apology?"
Lucien tilted his head.
"Tempting, but no."
Seraphina screamed into her hands.

Plan C: The Final Gambit
Seraphina took a deep breath.
"Fine. If you don't let me go, I'll…"
Lucien raised an eyebrow.
"You'll what?"
Seraphina smirked.
"I'll start singing off-key. In public."
Lucien froze.
Seraphina took advantage of his horror and ran.

Three Seconds Later…
Lucien caught her again.
Seraphina shrieked.
"HOW?!"
Lucien smirked.
"You really thought that would work?"
Seraphina pouted.
"Well, it was worth a shot."
