Chapter 73: A Villainess Fights Dirty (And Still Loses)
Seraphina refused to accept defeat.
If honorable escape wouldn't work, then she would fight dirty.
Lucien smirked at her struggling form.
"Still trying, darling?"
Seraphina grinned innocently.
"Oh, not trying. Succeeding."
Lucien tilted his head.
"How so?"
Seraphina stomped on his foot.
Lucien did not flinch.
Seraphina froze.
Lucien sighed.
"Darling, I wear enchanted boots."
Seraphina huffed.
"That's cheating!"
Lucien smirked.
"And stomping isn't?"
Lila was howling with laughter in the background.

Plan D: A Villainess Has No Shame
Seraphina decided to weaponize the most powerful thing she had.
Embarrassment.
She took a deep breath and screamed at the top of her lungs—
"HELP! I'M BEING KIDNAPPED BY A HANDSOME STRANGER!"
Lucien narrowed his eyes.
Seraphina was feeling victorious—
Until the nearby nobles started clapping.
"Ah, what a romantic couple!"
"I wish my fiancé kidnapped me like that!"
"Such passion!"
Seraphina stared in horror.
"…Are you people serious?!"
Lucien chuckled.
"Well, darling, it seems public opinion is against you."
Seraphina was this close to having an aneurysm.

Plan E: Bribing Lila
Seraphina spun to her best friend.
"Lila, help me!"
Lila pretended to think.
"Hmm… what's in it for me?"
Seraphina gritted her teeth.
"I'll bake you a cake."
Lila raised an eyebrow.
"Last time you baked, the kitchen caught fire."
Seraphina scoffed.
"It was ONE TIME!"
Lila sighed dramatically.
"Sorry, Sera. This is just too fun to watch."
Seraphina screamed internally.

Lucien: 5, Seraphina: 0
Lucien smirked.
"Face it, darling. You're not winning this one."
Seraphina crossed her arms.
"Fine. You win this round. But I will get my revenge."
Lucien chuckled.
"I look forward to it."
Seraphina pouted.
She was not used to losing.
But there was always next time.
