《The villainess is... Is she?》Chapter 3
Advertisement
At the entrance, a handsome and well built middle-aged man came in, he has a same coloured hair as Claire now, a reddish black colour. A domineering and respectful air of noble exuding from his appearance to his temperament, fitting the word 'most respectable noble'.
"Duke Lune, I didn't expect you to be here." the guy squinted his eyes while eyeing the man called Duke Lune walking towards Claire. Claire rooted there as she seizing the mand walking to her. 'Lune? He is this body's father?'
"Of course, apparently, someone had the audacity to captured this duke daughter to be throwned into the dungeon, your Higness Prince Carl, who is it?" Duke Lune, saying those words calmly and leisurely like sipping tea, but a dangerous gleam flash in his eyes when he ask the question at the last.
"Duke Lune, remember your status and respect this prince, who do you think you are." Prince Carl looked at Duke Lune coldly. His hand hide Anne behind him.
"Your highness, if you think you status is higher than mine, you're wrong, according to the emperor's decree, this duke position is second only to the emperor, even if you are the crown prince, your Higness, your position is still below than mine." Duke Lune smirk while touching his chin.
Prince Karl squinted his eyes then glared murderously at Claire before he shout "let's go" and broughg his guards and Anne away. 'What's wrong with this guy, you can't win against him then you actually glared at me?' Claire complained inside with a dark expression.
"Why did you always mess with that Smith girl? You know the crown prince pampered her so much and her family backing is strong, you plot even failed. What am I gonna do with you?" Duke Lune sighed angryly and frowned.

"I- " Claire felt dissatisfied and wanted to refute but Duke Lune raised his hand, stopping her. "No excuses, you never listen, do it properly if you want to do it and don't do it if you can't. Stop bringing shame to the Lune family!" Duke Lune sighed again and left Claire alone with a guard of Duke Lune.
"Miss, let's go back to the mansion." the guard speak respectfully. Claire nodded and walked slowly followed Duke Lune. 'First thing je did is scold you and not asking you if you are okah, poor you' Claire felt like crying but she bit his lips and forced her tears to begone.
---In the Lune's mansion---
Claire looked into the mirror and saw a girl with a reddish black hair same as Duke Lune, bandaged at her head and half of her face, the other half is a face of a pretty girl. She closed her eyes and think deeply.
Clair Lune, a name she is familiar with, a name from her favourite novel during her childhood due to this name similar to her name, Claire Luna.
'A transmigration huh?' Claire thought and smiled as she touch a face, a hint of sorrow and sadness flash in her bright eyes.
She remembered the story, the protagonist, Maryanne Smith, the girl just now, is the heroine in this story and her herself, Clair Lune labelled as the villain, is actually someone innocent and mild, never plotting and scheming, but always at the receiving end. The heroine was described as someone brave, smart, always win against the villain and whatsoever.
But little did someone know, the heroine actually just randomly accused and fight a so called villain just to make her a stepping stone in earning the care, love and pampered from other character and Clair Lune is the chosen one.

Many didn't notice this fact, but she did, Claire did. And because of that, she cried the whole day thinking about how Clair had to died getting execution when Maryanne successfully become the Empress.
Claire opened her eyes and looked again at her reflection in the big beautifully carved mirror. She let out a light chuckle,remembering her words during that time saying in her next life, she wanted to go and help Clair Lune to change her life to a better one.
'I really did huh. Now, I'm you, so I shall did my promise to you.' Claire closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, a look of determination appear in her eyes . 'I shall live as Clair Lune now!' she stood and when to the glass window.
She glanced at the study table nearby, 'I shall do my planning to lead a new life, if I suffered harassment from that pig head here everyday, then that means, I shall leave this place!' She looked back outside the window and a smile blossomed on her alluring lips.
'Yes, away from here, free and happy, without worry.' Clair sit at the study table and pulled the rope calling servant in, her personal maid, Alicia came in.
"Yes miss?" Alicia bowed respectfully . "Can you tell me all the countries and villages in this kingdom? I'm bored and I wanted to know about it." Clair make up an excuse without minding whether it make sense or not.
"I'm sorry miss, this servant does not know much, but I can take some books that recorded all of the countries and villages in this kingdom for miss." Alicia answered.
Clair thought a little and nodded with a 'hum' sound, Alicia immediately bowed and went out, not long later, she came in with a few books.

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).

Winter Sovereign
Serra Recquir, a boy born in the world of Sierra, was born with weak and with mediocre talent. Despite the odds, he pursued the path of cultivation. He faced numerous trials, deadly foes and great friends. Eventually, he stepped into the world of the Divine Realm. Breaking past the limits of the world and traveling to higher planes. After millions of years, he finally reached the summit. Becoming a Sovereign Paragon. Longing for the world he left countless years ago, he finally returns to his own world. Author's Note: This story is different from other wuxia novels. If those novels focus on characters that struggle from the bottom and reach the top, this story is one where someone already reached the top. I figured it would be interesting to start a novel from this concept so I started it. Well, however this plays through, just like how I finished my previous novel, Doll's Smile, I'll finish this novel too. Of course, I'm writing this novel just for fun. I like to write lighthearted novels like this. Novels that I would read while listening to music and eating snacks on a pleasant and relaxing afternoon. Do forgive me if I'm slow in writing.
