Chapter 13: The Bully Knight
There are seven official destruction fates aside from one that was added by a DLC ll, which makes them all eight in total. Four of those are my own destruction while two belong to each of the other two Villainesses. The first is Edith Black.
From the game, Edith is a ruthless character much different than the haughty Vivian. Vivian is a lady through and through, who values the traditions of the Noble Society and worships its rules and customs. Edith, however, was raised in a family of Royal Agents and Disciplinary Knights, no other noble would want anything to do with the daughter of such a dangerous family. More to that, Edith was engaged to Richard Marshall son of the Knights Commander which means she is just moving from the House of Shadows to the House of War.
In the route of both her brother and fiancé, Edith appears in her long black coat with a sword at her waist and an intense glare that causes shivers even beyond the fourth wall.
For her brother Edmond, she refuses the Heroine as her family can’t just accept a marriage candidate whose background is questionable and she will send attackers after the Heroine which will cause her brother to get injured saving the Heroine, this and that will happen until House Black issues an order for Edith to withdraw before sending her to the Disciplinary Hall, which is a nightmare to any noble.
As for her fiancé, she claims that the Heroine is a danger to the stability of the kingdom and uses the same method to scare away the Heroine except for this time it is Richard who appears and he who gets injured, the retaliation of the Knights will be swift and the engagement will be called off, Edith’s fate was to withdraw in her family never to appear but years later as a nun in a monastery.
Compared to her actions, banishment is a very light punishment. For heaven’s sake, Vivian gets to die in the four scenarios after some mere bullying.
Life... truly unfair!
My remembrance of those memories regarding Edith took place in the auction’s meeting room where Valentine and I were sitting after he just informed me of the investigator who will be sent to question me about the murder of the Baron’s Son. As for Valentine, he was eating the cupcake almost losing himself in its softness and deliciousness. This guy is a lost cause.
"Edith Black... I understand. Thank you, Valentine. Now finish this off before my maid comes with the tea." I said.
"Om, ysh! Hmm! Gsh hus fning? Stabyyy! Hmm!" (Oh, yes! Hmm! This has a filling? Strawberry? Hmm!)
"Exactly, see how much I value our friendship?" I replied.
