Melissa POV

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 

"Hey!" I said

"What are you doing down here?"

"Are you hungry? i can help you."

System: Melissa has picked up a beggar!

"Got you!" I said

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Hehehehe..." I said

"Just as i thought, my eyes will never betray me!"

At the ball, Ian will probaly have many girls throwing themselves at him.

But even compared to all those beautiful women clinging to him,

This man in front of me is...

Far superior...!

In fact,

he's got blindingly good looks!

"It's perfect!" I said

"Anyway..."

"Alright, My friend.

"I'd like for you to help me out now."

One of few good things about Melissa was that...

she had the chance to meet several extremely hot guys.

even Y/n almost got surrounded by the most hot guys like her fiancee

First, there was he handsome fiance, the crown prince.

Then came her brother, who also blessed with good looks.

Even the servants working at the estate were highly attractive.

As i remember when Y/n was young and met some of the servant what come to her mind was...

Oh my dear my mother, why all the servants here are so HOT! PLEASE!

As such, Melissa had naturally developed

a good eye for judging others' looks.

I just happened to awaken that dormant ability the moment I saw him lying in the streets.

No matter how filthy he was, there was no hiding his shining, innate beauty,

and I needed an exceptionally handsome partner in order to screw Ian over .

And that's the story of how I picked up... no, brought a beggar to my house.

"My lady, are you out of your mind? how could you take in a beggar when you should be looking for a new dress?" Yona asked

"I just...!"

"Quadruple Raise." I whispered to Yona

"I just completely agree with you!" She said

"How could i possibly stop you from helping those in need?!"

"You're truly the perfect example of noblesse oblige!"

"I, Yona, Am in Awe ate your kindness!"

"I will put in my utmost effort to cooperate with you, My lady."

Yona is seriously...

the most materialistic snob I've ever seen, in both my past and current life.

"Let's go." I said

"Get in Mr.Beggar." Yona said

"Take us back to the Podebrat Estate, Quickly." I ordered the Horseman

If Y/n in here i bet she will act the same as Yona, a Money lover, she will do Anything for Money even tho she is one of the child of the Podebrat Family.

Wait...

Something feels wrong...

"Is it just me or did we leave something behind?" I asked

"I'm not sure." Yona said

Melissa Podebrat...!

Where the hell did you go?! (Sfx: Pissed off)

.

Luckily, the mansion was empty since the duke was away on official business, and Y/n currently got dragged by Jake.

so we quickly sneaked him in through the back entrance.

And so, we began our plan.

"Yona, Prepare Some bathwater in my room. we need to wash him." I ordered Yona

"You're going to wash him?" Yona asked

"Hmm..." I think

"Should i?" I asked

"He can take care of himself. Yona, show him the way." I ordered

"Yes, My lady." Yona said

While i waited for him, I decide to go over my plans again.

Think, Melissa.

Ian always tried to humiliate you by having an affair in front of you.

But there's no written rule stating that I can't do the same.

I might be the same trash as Ian for plotting to have an affair,

but unlike him, I have no intention of playing kissy-face with a man I don't even love.

I'll toss in a little suprise and 

Imagination into the mix.

Ian's dejection and jealousy

'Oh Melissa, you're here? is that your partner next to you?'

Is not what I want to see.

I'm looking foward to seeing the guest reactions at the ball!

To think that his fiance, who was clinging to him just a day before,

would come to the ball with another handsome man!

"He's not part of her family, nor is he a noble."

"Could it be her lover?"

"Is she trying to make the prince jealous?"

"Or is that man Just her toy?"

Ian would surely be bewildered amidst all the gossip and suspicion.

I'm satisfied with just that.

.

I don't care if others misunderstand.

.

.

.

My reputation has already his rock bottom.

I don't particularly want to interact in fancy social settings,

nor do i want power and influence.

All i want is to show everyone that

Melissa Podebrat Isn't just a ditzy girl fawning over the crown prince.

Even Y/n Podebrat had changed when she get looked by the others in past just a spoiled girl.

She changed to be a calm person and never want power and Influence.

She want to be a normal person in the eyes of the nobles and others.
