“Lady, whom are you looking for? Can we help you?”
They were very polite. Ginevra nodded.
“The name of the person you’re looking for?”
“Alexander.”
As the guys remembered Alexander Button, whom they had just talked about, their expressions changed.
“Are you looking for Alexander Button?”
“Has that guy ever been engaged?”
One guy jabbed the side of an oblivious guy.
“Ahh.”
There were guys who acted like they might get engaged and played around with innocent girls for fun.
“Shall I escort you?”
Outwardly, they seemed courteous like novice students who learned the ways of a knight, but internally, they were no different from troublemakers.
‘I misunderstood. Larisa is caught up with these guys….’
Ginevra looked at the arm of the boy reaching out towards her. Then, slowly, she raised her hand to touch his arm.
It was an instant. Ginevra, who held the arm of the male student, immediately knocked him down and grabbed the wrist of another guy who reflexively tried to draw his sword.
“Not happening.”
If a sword is drawn, there’s no choice but to kill.
After flipping the guy onto his back, she swiftly grabbed the wrist of the one trying to draw his sword, struck the back of the head of the guy who had fainted with her elbow, and took away the sword.
The remaining guy was startled by Ginevra’s sudden action and took a step back.
“Well, what’s going on?”
As the boy who got knocked down tried to get up, Ginevra mercilessly stomped on his throat. Unlike the struggling boy who gasped for breath, Ginevra’s expression remained incredibly calm.
“Me? Just a passerby.”
“….”
“Are you going to draw that sword? If you do, I’ll kill you.”
Although he was a male student about to be appointed as a royal knight soon, he couldn’t match Ginevra’s skills born and raised on the battlefield.
“Who, who are you…”
“I told you. Just a passing female student.”
“Why are you doing this to us…?”
“Are you going to run away?”
The boy asked in surprise.
“Uh, um?”
“I asked if you were going to abandon your friends and run away.”
“N-no.”
“Good. Then come here.”
Ginevra snapped her fingers.
“Yes?”
“Come here. I’m saying it nicely.”
Ginevra said with a sly smile. The male student, on the contrary, started to step backward.
“Should I go?”
When she asked with a low voice, the male student started to run away without even looking back.
Anytime you say you won’t run away leaving your friends behind. Ginevra, without using magic, threw the sword she held in one hand.
“Oops.”
The sword grazed past the side of the male student’s face and stuck into a tree. The boy, trembling, froze as he wiped away the streak of blood flowing down his face.
Leaving the two unconscious students, Ginevra walked slowly towards the remaining frozen one.
“Hee, heeek!”
There was no need to use magic to scold these weaklings. They were just inexperienced kids.
“Hey.”
“Y-yes?”
“Who is the woman you promised to be engaged with?”
“…..U-um?”
Ginevra approached slowly, pulled out the sword stuck in the tree. The inexperienced boy reflexively reached for the handle of the sword.
“Oh, if you pull that out, you’ll die.”
Whether he had a good sense or quickly assumed a stance, he seemed to have received proper knight training.
“A-are you a senior?”
“I’m much senior than you.”
“But why, why, why…?”
Ginevra chuckled.
“Try saying what you said earlier.”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t you say you were going to mess with a girl named Larisa earlier? What does causing an accident mean? Huh?”
“That, that…”
Ginevra took advantage of the moment the guy opened his mouth and kicked him in the abdomen.
“Ugh.”
Unable to scream properly, the guy, who was now crumpled on the ground, couldn’t say anything.
“Why can’t you speak?”
“Ugh! Ugh!”
The inexperienced boy, with his face in the dirt, couldn’t utter a word.
“I dislike guys like you. That’s why you lose. Got it?”
“Ugh!”
“Tell everyone. I will retaliate against anyone who messes with the precious few female students in the Knight Department.”
Ginevra continued to speak while forcefully stepping on the guy who was still struggling.
“If, by any chance, you’re thinking of keeping it a secret that you got slapped by a girl, it might be better to get rid of that thought. If it doesn’t work, come back, and I might publicly beat you again.”
“Ugh, ugh!”
“You have good endurance. You’ve had good training.”
The male student collapsed shortly after. Ginevra flipped him over with a kick and drew an X mark on his face.
“Make sure to warn Lara about a guy with an X-shaped scar on his face.”
After relieving some stress, Ginevra felt better, and she thought it would be good to come by again whenever she was bored.

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
