Chapter 74: A Villainess Declares War (Again)
Seraphina was not a sore loser.
She was a strategic planner.
And if Lucien thought she'd let him win so easily—he had another thing coming.
—
Step 1: The Art of the Silent Treatment
Lucien smirked at her.
"Still mad, darling?"
Seraphina ignored him.
Lucien waved a hand in front of her face.
"Hello? Earth to Seraphina?"
Seraphina turned her head dramatically.
Lucien frowned.
"Are you seriously ignoring me?"
Seraphina picked up a book and started reading.
Lucien stared.
Lila whispered, "Damn, she's committed."

Step 2: The Ultimate Payback—Flirting With Another Man
If Lucien wanted to play dirty, Seraphina would play dirtier.
Her target? Damian.
She strolled up to him, smiling sweetly.
"Damian, darling~"
Damian blinked.
"…What do you want?"
Seraphina looped her arm through his.
"Just thought we could chat~"
Lucien's eyes darkened immediately.
Damian stared at her.
"Are you using me to make Lucien jealous?"
Seraphina gasped.
"Me? Manipulative? Nooo."
Damian scoffed.
"Try harder, sweetheart."
Lucien was already approaching.
And he did not look amused.
Seraphina immediately regretted everything.

Step 3: Run for Your Life
"Seraphina."
She froze.
Lucien stood behind her, arms crossed.
His expression? Not happy.
Seraphina laughed nervously.
"Lucien! Fancy seeing you here!"
Lucien leaned down, whispering in her ear.
"Oh no, darling. You wanted my attention, didn't you?"
Seraphina felt actual fear.
She turned to run—
Lucien caught her waist.
Damian slowly backed away.
"Yeah, I'm not dying today."
—
Lucien: 6, Seraphina: 0
Lucien smirked.
"Face it, love. You can't win against me."
Seraphina pouted.
"One day, I will."
Lucien chuckled, pulling her closer.
"Good luck, darling. You'll need it."
Seraphina silently plotted her next move.
This war was far from over.
