Chapter 76: A Villainess Comes Up With a New (Terrible) Plan
Seraphina refused to accept defeat.
Lucien may have outmaneuvered her at every turn, but she was a villainess!
Villainesses did not give up.
It was time for her masterpiece.

Step 7: The 'Seduction and Escape' Plan
Lila stared at her.
"You want to seduce Lucien… and then escape?"
Seraphina nodded.
"Yes. He always gets the upper hand because I panic. This time, I'll be the one in control."
Lila crossed her arms.
"And you think you can seduce Lucien?"
Seraphina flipped her hair.
"Of course. I'm hot, aren't I?"
Lila sighed.
"Sweetheart, I love your confidence, but…"
Seraphina ignored her.
This was it.
Her greatest plan yet.

Step 8: Execution of the 'Seduction and Escape' Plan
That night, Seraphina strode into Lucien's study with purpose.
She had practiced.
She had rehearsed.
She had googled 'how to seduce a vampire lord' (not helpful at all).
Lucien looked up from his papers, amused.
"Well, well. To what do I owe this pleasure?"
Seraphina sauntered over.
She let her fingers trail across his desk.
Lucien raised an eyebrow.
"Are you… alright?"
Seraphina ignored him.
She leaned forward, making sure her neckline dipped just a little.
She placed a hand on his chest.
"Lucien~"
Lucien blinked.
"…Are you trying to seduce me?"
Seraphina smiled.
"Is it working?"
Lucien leaned back.
"I'm more confused than anything."
Seraphina froze.
Wait.
This wasn't how it was supposed to go.
She was supposed to have Lucien dazed and distracted.
Then, she would slip away into the night like a shadow.
But Lucien just looked… highly entertained.
Lucien smirked.
"You're adorable when you try to be cunning, love."
Seraphina scowled.
"Stop ruining my plans!"
Lucien chuckled.
"But I love ruining your plans."
Seraphina groaned.
Lila, watching from the doorway, whispered,
"I told you this was a terrible plan."

Lucien: 8, Seraphina: 0
Seraphina stormed out in frustration.
This wasn't over.
She would get the upper hand.
One day.
Lucien just chuckled.
"I look forward to your next attempt, love."
Seraphina cursed.
