The Masked Villain Wants to Marry me

***PRESENT TIME***"Make way for the Imperial Knights!" Yelled a man with a grand attire. He was the empire's announcer, carrying a glowing light that let his voice echo throughout the Capital city, Moressley. The light was powered by mana, as the kingdom was blessed with numerous amounts of it that almost everything was run by mana.Even the people, including the commoners, which are at the lowest level of society, had their own manas in their bodies.People came rushing towards the central point of the city. The sun was already up and the morning light glistened throughout the sky. This was a typical day for the kingdom of Orthosdem Imperium as they await the arrival of their honored knights. It almost felt like there was a festival, with the loud drums and singing and dancing and a variety of food in the stalls.Such a special day. Surely, the king would not miss the chance to let people celebrate this

She was only a kid at that time, her memory was not clear but she could recall bits of it.The first time he encountered Duke Raziel was when they were still kids.She remembered her father took her with him to the palace for a tea party held by the empress.And that time, all the children of the nobles were all gathered to play together by the gardens."Ouch!" Yelled a child in pain, glaring at Lady Vienna. She was pulling the child's hair as a joke until the child got enough."Vienna is pulling my hair!""We won't want to play with you, hmp." running away from her, all the noble kids left her alone. Tsk...then don't! she thought. She left and headed far towards a tree. She'll just read a book then. Sitting on a tall tree, she stopped when she realized that there was a child behind her. the person had his eyes closed and was actually sleeping. He wa

“Can I ask what the duke said to you my lady, should we write a reply instantly?” Titus spoke up. “I didn’t know you were close with him.She shook her head, “No, we’re not close. I’ll deal with this alone.” Titus nodded understandingly. “I’ll talk to my father about this.” Standing up, she made her way to her father’s study. She knocked on the door and said, “Father? It’s me, Vienna.” "Vienna? You can come in.” 

"Have you heard what is the talk of the town these days?" Lady Vienna heard one of the waitresses say, as she spoke with her friends far away from their table. After the duke’s visit a few days ago, the duke invited her again to the coffee shop, threatening her about her visit to the Rouge guild if she didn’t go. Having no choice, she decided to finally attend. The waitress glanced at Lady Vienna carefully, noticing that the lady was there. Turning her lips upwards, the lady raised her eyebrows at her and smirked at her. One of her colleagues did not see her as she was facing the lady with her back so she was not careful with the next words she uttered, "Ohhh, I've heard it! Apparently, the tyrant duke, that Villain Duke Raziel Valen Donovan, had asked for the villainess' hand, Lady Xaviera!"

She wanted to refuse him, but then she just agreed, they already encountered each other, and might as well talk to him. Plus, it would be too strange if she just fell on the grass and instantly healed already. The princess must not have told the crown prince about it...Good thing that the halls were empty and no one saw them. If not, she would not be surprised that tomorrow's news would be all about her and the crown prince. When they reached his study, he let her sit on the sofa, and let her face him with his sparkling golden eyes. His blonde hair was smooth and silky and she fought the urge not to run her fingers through it.The lady sent him a smile, "Oh, you can just leave me at the infirmary or ask for a maid to send me home, your highness. I came with my father."
