The trial had begun. The emperor and empress were in their respective seats while the judge at his bench reviewed the charges against the defendant. On another seat, a young woman looked fearful as a young man at her side tried to calm her. These were the crown prince and his fiancee, who had been nearly poisoned to death.

Before the judge's bench, a young woman sat with her hands tied. She was a beautiful young woman with black hair, red eyes, and fair skin. Even though she was wearing a simple dress, she didn't seem to lose her glamour. She was Alesha Von Hansen, the daughter of the great Duke Von Hansen. She was being accused of attempting to murder the prince's fiancee out of jealousy, as she had been the prince's previous fiancee. He had broken off their engagement to be with the other woman, so Alesha decided to murder her.

"Lady Alesha Von Hansen, in the name of His Majesty Emperor Carlo Werner of the Zhak Empire, you are sentenced to indefinite exile. You will be sent to the northern lands where your parents will not be able to visit and will only be allowed to send what is necessary for your needs." The judge struck his gavel on the bench.

"What? This is outrageous! She tried to kill my fiancee, the crown princess. Her sentence can't be so minimal," the prince protested.

The young woman by his side covered her face, crying at the injustice. Alesha, however, seemed calm.

"Your Highness, if my daughter is sentenced to death, forget about our family's continued support of the country. I remind you that all this is due to your lack of honor. Be thankful that I haven't retaliated after you broke your engagement with my daughter," warned the grand duke.

"But..."

"Silence, Prince. The decision has been made. Lady Lange will no longer be in danger, and the grand duke is right. Be grateful that we are not enemies with his family," the empress scolded him.

The prince clenched his fists as he sat down, feeling powerless to do anything against Alesha after she had nearly killed his beloved Delia. With the sentence pronounced, the trial was adjourned. Alesha was taken away by the palace guards, but the grand duke and his escorts went as well, as he had been allowed to accompany his daughter to her destination. As she walked through the palace corridors, Alesha kept her head held high and her face serene, as if she didn't care what had just happened. Before she got into the carriage, the prince's fiancee reached her.

"Lady Von Hansen, I apologize. I know all this is because of me, and I forgive you for what you did. I hope that now that I'm still alive, you can learn to live without resentment."

"You forgive me? As if that would do me any good. Don't try to have a clear conscience when you were just the fox who got involved with another's fiance. Whether he loved me or not, you had no right," she replied seriously.

The girl stood there speechless as Alesha climbed into the carriage accompanied by her father. Delia stood there watching the carriage drive away. Even at the last moment, Alesha showed no remorse for her actions. The prince quickly reached her.

"Lady Delia, are you alright? Did she do anything to you?" he asked worriedly.

"No, she just said goodbye," Delia answered.

Later that night, Delia was at home when her maid told her that someone was looking for her. When she came down, she found an attractive young man. His name was Ritter Escalante, Delia's childhood friend. He was handsome, with albino hair, light eyes, and a toned body from his training. Although he wore glasses, they didn't detract from his physical attractiveness.

"Lady Lange, I've come to tell you that I'm leaving the capital for a while."

"Why? The wedding is soon. I wanted you to walk me down the aisle," she said sadly.

Delia's father had fallen ill recently, just when he learned that his daughter had been poisoned, and her grandfather was an old man bedridden. So the only friend she had was the one she wanted to walk her down the aisle.

"I'm sorry, but my duty can't wait. Besides, don't you think that's a cruel thing to ask of me? Before the prince, I was your fiance..."

"I know, but we've been friends, and we didn't love each other. It was just an arranged engagement," Delia replied.

"That's how it was, but I loved you. I told you so. I'm sorry, but I can't accept your request. That's why I accepted the mission."

"But...it's not fair. I was counting on you. Please, for our friendship..."

"Lady Lange, our friendship ended when you decided to break our engagement and break the prince's engagement," he said seriously.

"I know it wasn't right, but we love each other...You can't force us to be with people we don't love..."

"Then you can't force me to walk you down the aisle. For once, put your selfishness aside. I'm leaving, and when I return, forget that I once loved you and was your friend."

With that, Ritter bowed and left the room. Delia stood in silence. It was the first time Ritter had spoken so harshly to her.

****

Alesha had traveled for a week to reach the northern county. This territory belonged to her mother's family, but she couldn't take care of it, so she had entrusted it to the family's trusted steward. It was a large territory, but it was close to the dark territory, the place where demons lived. While they kept to themselves, that didn't mean there weren't rebels who wanted to cause trouble. But for that, there was the empire's special guard, and of course, the Von Hansens had a lot to do with that.

As she got out of the carriage, she was greeted with hugs and kisses from a beautiful woman. It was her mother, who was crying tears of joy to see her daughter well.

"Thank you, darling...I knew our daughter would be fine," she said gratefully to her husband.

"The emperor knows what's good for them. But, the fact remains that the real culprit is still free." The grand duke looked annoyed.

"Don't worry, Father, Mother. The real killer will come to light, and they will realize that I am innocent." Alesha seemed calm.

"That's right. When they come to beg forgiveness, there will be none," the duchess assured her.

The grand duke tried to calm her and suggested they go inside. They should have dinner together, because the next day they had to leave. Unfortunately, they couldn't stay with their daughter. But at least they knew she would be safe. She wasn't weak, and she would have the best guards at her disposal. After the family dinner, Alesha was finally alone in her room. She looked out the window in the direction of the empire that had turned its back on her. Everything had gone according to plan, with one big difference: Alesha was supposed to die when they discovered that she had tried to poison the sweet protagonist.

But now, she wasn't the real Alesha, at least not in soul. From the day she arrived in this world, she had let everything run its course, from the protagonists falling in love to harassing the sweet Delia so that her lovers would protect her. However, she hadn't poisoned her. It seemed that someone else wanted to try and blame her, which didn't go according to plan, because she wasn't executed. The mystery remained of who did it and how no one was interested in investigating, because everyone there should know that she wasn't stupid enough to leave evidence in plain sight. Alesha raised her hand, showing her palm.

"Well, now to wait for the right moment, and then I will crush them all." She closed her hand, clenching her fist tightly as a malicious smile spread across her face.

Alesha Von Hansen, an elegant and intelligent 19-year-old, was chosen to be the fiancee of the Crown Prince. Ladies looked at her with admiration, and others with envy. She was fine with their engagement because she liked the Crown Prince, so when she began her training as a future Crown Princess, she gave it her all. She and the Prince got along well, until Delia Lange appeared, the daughter of a Marquis, whose beauty and tenderness captivated the Prince. The two of them began a nice friendship, until the love between them was inevitable. When Alesha found out about this, she did not hesitate to attack Delia repeatedly, humiliating her in front of the other ladies, to make her look like anyone else. She even warned everyone to take care of their fiances or Delia would take them to bed, thus becoming the object of ridicule and harassment by the girls.

But Delia was always protected by two people, her fiance and childhood friend, Ritter Escalante, and the Crown Prince, Johan Werner. Both were always there to protect her, since Delia only knew how to cry.

Over time, Delia chose to end her engagement with Ritter, since she only saw him as a friend, in order to begin her relationship with Johan, who did everything possible to break his engagement with Alesha, using her bad deeds as proof that she would not be a good empress. Alesha's father, the great Duke Von Hansen, accepted, of course, in exchange for receiving one of the most important territories in the empire.

Thus, Delia and Johan announced their engagement and lived their love without guilt, until one day, Delia was poisoned and said poison was found in Alesha's possession, for which she was brought to trial and executed. But that event only caused the Von Hansens to break off all dealings with the empire, which began to lead them to ruin, and the demons began to wreak havoc. Because, yes, the Von Hansens possessed the blood of demons, they were descended from them, and the power they possessed served to suppress the demons. They made deals with the demons to protect the empire, so as soon as they withdrew their protection from the empire, chaos began. The Von Hansen simply retreated to the territory of the demons, where they would live out the rest of their days. They did not want revenge because they knew their daughter had done wrong, but there was no longer any reason to continue protecting humans. The Prince and Delia had to fight the demons, using the divine power that Delia was discovered to possess, and in this way, she managed to suppress the demons, thus achieving the happy ending of the protagonists.

Yes, this is how the story called "The Prince's First Love" ends. A novel that Ady read and in which she has been reincarnated after dying in her world. At first, Ady didn't understand anything until she saw that her body was small, then in a mirror, she could see that she was now a small girl, beautiful with black hair and red eyes. It was then that she remembered everything, she was now Alesha Von Hansen, the villain of that story she had read in life.

At first, it was difficult for her to assimilate, but little by little she adapted. She went on with her life, learning everything she needed to learn, and when the time came, she let all the events happen, even harassing the protagonist like in the story, until the prince broke the engagement. That's as far as she planned to go because she wouldn't try to poison Delia since she didn't care about the prince or becoming empress.

But she didn't count on someone else trying to kill the clumsy Delia and it would be her who would be blamed. The difference is that she had her father use his influence to change the death sentence to exile, and she succeeded.

This is how now, she was in Adilia County, which belonged to her mother's family, now she would be the Countess and would be in charge of that place. Her parents couldn't stay with her, so they were already gone. With the help of the butler, she caught up on everything she had to do in the county.

"My Lady, a request has arrived from the town of Bek, they say that the dam has been blocked by bandits and they are not giving them water until they pay for it." The butler handed her the report document.

"Send a hundred knights. If that's not enough, send another hundred. Let them leave no bandit alive and hang their heads a few kilometers from the town, let them know that Countess Von Hansen does not forgive," she mentions seriously.

The butler was stunned by the order, but when he saw Alesha look up, he bowed and went out to comply with the order. Alesha looks out the window.

"The weather is nice, I think I'll go out."

Alesha leaves her office and sends word that she will go with the knights. She needs some fresh air and some action or she will lose practice in her skills.

After a day's journey, they finally arrived near the dam. As the report said, the bandits had blocked the flow of the dam and had set up camp there to keep watch. Alesha walks followed by her guards, it is then that the bandits become aware of their presence.

"Look what we have here, it looks like it's our lucky day."

"Come on, beautiful, leave those knights and come with us, you'll know what real men are."

The laughter is immediate and the knights stand on guard, swords in hand. Alesha motions for them to stay out of it as she walks toward the man who spoke last.

"So, you want to show me what a man is... Let's see if you have what it takes." She smiles mockingly.

"You'll see, bitch, I'll make you scream my name..."

That man tried to grab her arm, but from one second to the next, he was paralyzed and drops of blood could be seen falling. When his companions look, Alesha's hand was on the man's neck and her nails were piercing the bandit's skin. Alesha kicks him away and takes her hand away as the man squirms on the ground. Alesha cleans her hand with a tissue.

"You don't have what I need."

"Damn bitch...kill her," orders the boss.

Everyone launches into the attack, as do the knights, thus beginning a battle. Alesha just walks calmly towards the dam, and when they try to attack her, she waves her hand and cuts off her enemy's body.

Being at the dam, she raises her hand as a circle of magic appears on the wall blocking the dam.

"Aktra ofgla rezte..."

An explosion is created in the dam and the water begins to flow. Turning to see the bandits trying to flee, she creates another seal again, and from this, black chains emerge that chase and trap the bandits, but they don't just trap them, they squeeze them until their bones break.

"Hang them on the county line and let them know that the Countess does not forgive."

The knights immediately set about complying with her request, while she mounts her horse to return. She must return, for she will have to attend a party given by her father's partner, the Marquis of the North, Kasimir Fischer, and she is interested in being on good terms to create a jewelry import alliance.

...

The night had arrived, and Alesha was nearing the Fischer mansion. Her escort offered his hand to help her descend, accompanying her to the entrance. Upon arrival, she donned a mask, as it was the theme of the party.

As she stepped down the stairs, she drew the attention of the gentlemen with her unique attire, and despite the mask, it was evident that she was a beauty.

Alesha greeted those who approached her, although very few lingered to converse upon realizing her identity; her reputation had preceded her. Yet that mattered little to her; she only needed to conduct business with the Marquess Fischer.

Once she found him, she offered her greetings. He was an older man, somewhat portly, but very kind-hearted. He and his wife expressed their condolences regarding the events in the capital, stating that the heir to the throne had made a poor choice. Alesha and the Marquess discussed business, and he requested a visit another day to finalize the terms.

After this, Alesha excused herself, taking a glass of wine with her as she stepped onto the balcony for some fresh air. Attending such events was tedious, but she had achieved her objective.

"It seems I'm not the only one overwhelmed by the crowd."

A masculine voice made her turn, and there stood a tall, well-built young man, his physique prominently defined even beneath his clothing. Though his face was partially obscured by a mask, one could say he was attractive by his features.

"It seems like too much of a coincidence..." Alesha replied with a smile.

"It makes it seem as if I followed you here," he placed a hand on his chest, feigning hurt.

"And is that not the case? I noticed your gaze from the moment I arrived; perhaps you know who I am..."

"I have not the slightest idea; it's unnecessary for us to reveal our identities," he responded.

"So what has brought you to me?" Alesha stepped closer to the young man, sliding her hand over his chest. "Do you wish to get to know me, or just to have a good time?"

"And what if I only wish to have a good time? Will you grant me that privilege?"

The young man took Alesha's hand and kissed the back of it. Alesha smiled faintly and then drank from her glass in one go.

"Let’s get out of here..."

Since joining that world, she had encountered little action, so with a fine specimen before her, she had no intention of letting it slip away. She followed him to his carriage, and after they boarded, she instructed the driver on their destination.

The journey was not long, but it was filled with silence. They soon arrived at a mansion on the outskirts of the marquisate; upon disembarking, Alesha followed the young man into a room, where she wasted no time in throwing herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck and initiating a passionate kiss, which was eagerly reciprocated. Soon, a dance of their tongues began, muffling their gasps.

The young man's hands untied the cord holding her dress, while she removed his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his well-toned torso.

He lifted her to the bed, where she lay back, with him climbing atop her, his hand reaching for the mask, but Alesha stopped him.

"It’s better to keep the anonymity..." she suggested.

Alesha preferred he not know who she was; even though he was handsome, she could not trust that he wouldn’t divulge whom he spent the night with if he knew her identity. At her request, the young man did not refuse, so he also decided against removing his mask and continued with their intimacies.

Alesha’s dress lay discarded on the floor as she reveled in the wet kisses her young lover planted on her neck and chest, while he kneaded her breasts. She gasped as he slid one into his mouth, tasting it with a certain urgency, causing Alesha to shiver as a tingle coursed through her body. The young man grinned at her reaction, continuing his earnest exploration, savoring both her breasts, while pressing himself against her between her legs. Even though he still wore his trousers, Alesha could feel his notable hardness.

The boy's lips travel further along Alesha's body, kissing the skin on his way until they get lost between her legs. Alesha gasps at the sensation of his tongue roaming between her soft folds, even gripping the boy’s hair as she lets out a couple of moans. The young man was attentive to Alesha's reactions, using his tongue and lips to expertly touch her in ways that drove her wild with pleasure. However, he quickly abandoned that task to remove his pants, revealing his evident erection, already anxious. He positioned himself and pushed decisively inside Alesha. She screamed in pain, surprising the albino.

"I-I’m sorry... I was a bit rough..." he caressed her face to soothe her.

"Don’t stop..." she didn’t intend to leave it halfway and remain unsatisfied.

The boy continued, starting to move slowly, but he noticed Alesha biting her lips in a pained expression, which shouldn't have been the case as he had made sure to prepare her well. But he glanced between her legs, noticing something that made him panic, staring at Alesha in astonishment.

"Y-you... is this your first time? I... you should have told me..."

Alesha wrapped her arms around the albino's waist to prevent him from pulling away.

"It doesn’t matter, just as you are my first, it could have been anyone, I don’t care" she assured him.

"Are you sure? You’re losing something important... if you are a noble lady, you won’t be able to marry..."

"As if I cared..."

It was too much talking, and the charm was fading, so in one agile movement, she managed to flip the boy onto the bed, positioning herself on top of him. Alesha placed her hands on his chest, squeezing the young man’s pectorals, and without more to say, she began to move. Although it was somewhat painful at first, she continued until pleasure took over. The young man who had just moments ago been worried was now enjoying it; it was so thrilling to watch the girl move above him, and he took advantage of this position to hold her waist and set the pace of their movements while observing her round breasts rise and fall with each motion. But he shifted positions, leaving Alesha on the bed while still holding her waist, both losing themselves in pleasure until they reached climax.

The next day, when the young man wakes up and feels the bed beside him, he notices that no one is there. He sits up, realizing that the mask he wore was on the floor, revealing his attractive face. This boy was Ritter Escalante, and he hoped that the woman had not seen his face, secretly wishing she wouldn’t intend to bother him. Although now he would like to know who that woman was with whom he had spent such a steamy night. He would have never imagined being so bold. Someone knocks at the door and enters, revealing an older man dressed in a suit.

"My lord, your troops are waiting for you, and your guest safely reached her destination."

"Thank you, Jonathan. Where have they taken her?" perhaps this would give him a clue about who she was.

"She was taken to a hotel in the neighboring county, but if you wish, I can send someone to find out her name."

"No, I think she prefers it that way."

Ritter gets out of bed to head to the bathroom as Jonathan steps back.

On the other hand, Alesha indeed had them take her to a hotel, where she took a shower and ordered new clothes. After that, she took a carriage back to the county mansion, feeling a bit annoyed. She never imagined that the one with whom she spent the night was none other than Ritter, the friend and ex-fiance of Delia, one of the two fools in love with that foolish girl. At least she woke up first and could leave without any issues.

"Laurie, I need you to do me a favor. Investigate why Ritter Escalante is in the territory of the Marquis Fischer."

"Of course, my lady, I will bring you the information as soon as possible." She bowed and departed.

Laurie is one of his most loyal maidens, but she is also a woman with great skills in both investigation and combat, in addition to being fiercely loyal. She will undoubtedly manage to bring him the information he requested; she must find out why that boy is in the Marquis's territory. As a devoted follower of Delia, he cannot afford to let his guard down; it could be that he has come to find her to kill her, as they failed to execute her. He might seek revenge on behalf of his beloved Delia.
