PART 4 – “The Traitor Returns, the Knight Panics, & Ravi Accidentally Becomes Underworld Queen”
Ravi’s life in the capital had become…
unintentionally legendary.
She walked → people trembled.
She sneezed → gangs surrendered.
She blinked → three nobles confessed crimes they didn’t even commit.
Rumors were spreading so fast that even Ravi couldn’t keep up.
Example this morning:
A maid whispered to another,
“They say Lady Ravina once killed fifteen men just by looking disappointed.”
Ravi: “I literally just looked at bread.”

🌸 Scene 1: Enter — The Traitor from Her Past Life
Ravi was sipping weak herbal tea (the only thing her noodle-body could handle) when a servant announced:
“Milady… a visitor. The powerful young mercenary leader… Kai Verdant.”
Ravi froze.
Kai.
Her past-life partner.
Her betrayer.
The man who shoved her off a roof yelling, “Oops.”
She stood up—
and almost immediately sat back down because her legs were like “nope.”
He entered smoothly.
Tall. Handsome. Cocky smirk.
Exactly the type of man who deserved to be hit with a frying pan.
Kai bowed.
“Lady Ravina. I have come to escort you on behalf of the underworld.”
Ravi stared.
What do you mean THE underworld is sending escorts to ME?!
Kai smirked.
“I’ve heard… legendary things about you.”
She nearly choked on her tea.
“I’m sorry, where exactly did you hear these ‘legendary things’?”
Kai shrugged.
“The entire crime network believes you’re the reincarnated assassin king.”
Ravi: “WHAT— NO— I’m a sick girl—”
Kai leaned closer, eyes shining.
“Don’t lie to me. I know those eyes.
Those are the eyes of someone who can kill with a spoon.”
Ravi: …maybe, but not in THIS body.
Before she could reply—

🌸 Scene 2: Leonhart, the Knight, Bursts In
The door SLAMMED open.
“LADY RAVINA—!!”
Leonhart, her personal chaos-knight, ran in with the intensity of a man chasing a chicken.
But then…
he saw Kai.
Leonhart’s aura turned dark.
“Who,” he asked coldly,
“is this man standing too close to Lady Ravina?”
Kai smirked.
“I’m her escort.”
Leonhart fumed.
“I AM HER ESCORT!”
Ravi rubbed her temples.
Great. One has trust issues, the other has butterfly issues.
Kai stepped even closer to Ravi just to provoke him.
Leonhart immediately stood in front of Ravi protectively like a big angry guard dog.
“Back away,” Leonhart snapped.
Kai chuckled.
“Or what? You’ll fight me?”
Ravi interrupted,
“STOP. Both of you.
I have the muscle strength of wet bread.
I cannot handle a fight here.”
Leonhart and Kai, in unison:
“Yes, Lady Ravina!”
Then glared at each other like two children fighting over a toy.
---
🌸 Scene 3: The Underworld Meeting
Kai insisted on taking Ravi to a secret underworld base.
Leonhart insisted on going too.
Ravi insisted on NOT walking because she’d faint halfway.
So she was carried.
Like a princess.
By Leonhart.
In front of twelve terrifying gang leaders.
Ravi: Why am I alive.
One underworld boss whispered to another:
“She’s so powerful she refuses to WALK.”
“That’s dominance.”
“She’s making the knight carry her. Queen behavior.”
Ravi internally:
I literally just didn’t want to pass out.
---
Inside, the entire underworld gathered.
Torchlight.
Weapons everywhere.
Scary people.
Ravi sneezed.
Everyone flinched.
The leader cleared his throat.
“We… have been expecting you, Lady Ravina.”
Ravi: “Um… good evening?”
Leader:
“You don’t need to pretend to be humble.
We know the truth.”
Ravi: “What truth???”
Leader bowed deeply.
“You are the legendary assassin, Night Whisper reincarnated.”
Ravi internally: BRO WHO STARTED THIS.
Kai smirked proudly.
Leonhart panicked.
Everyone else knelt.
Ravi: “…Stand up. Please.”
They stood instantly.
The leader continued,
“We wish to pledge our loyalty to you.
Please accept the position of Underworld Queen.”
Ravi blinked.
Her tea almost spilled.
“Queen… of… what?”
“Everything,” they said together.
Ravi:
“…I only came here because he”—she pointed at Kai—“dragged me.”
Kai: “It’s destiny.”
Leonhart: “It’s kidnapping.”
Ravi sighed.
She needed to think.
But then—
---
🌸 Scene 4: Ambush!
Suddenly, the door BURST open.
Masked assassins stormed inside.
The hall exploded into panic.
Leonhart immediately shielded Ravi.
Kai drew his blade.
Underworld members screamed.
Ravi stood up (legs shaking like a baby goat) and snapped:
“CAN EVERYONE CALM DOWN?!”
Her voice echoed.
Everyone froze.
The assassins hesitated.
Ravi tried to take one step forward—
Her foot slipped.
She fell.
She crashed into a pillar.
The pillar broke.
The ceiling cracked.
A chandelier fell on the assassins.
All four of them were knocked out instantly.
The hall went SILENT.
Ravi lay on the floor, staring at the sky.
I am… going to DIE of embarrassment.
Everyone else thought:
“SHE TOOK OUT FOUR ASSASSINS WITH A SINGLE MOVE???”
Kai whispered, awestruck,
“Incredible… as expected of my old partner.”
Leonhart was trembling.
“Lady Ravina… please don’t use such dangerous techniques again.”
Underworld members burst into cheers.
“LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!”
“OUR RULER IS UNSTOPPABLE!”
“WE FOLLOW YOU TO THE END!”
Ravi wanted to cry.
Not from pride.
From humiliation.

🌸 Scene 5: The Coronation She Didn’t Ask For
Before she could protest—
A crown was placed on her head.
A weird fancy cape was thrown on her shoulders.
Someone gave her a staff that was taller than her.
Ravi:
“WHAT IS ALL THIS—”
“You are now,” the leader declared proudly,
“Queen Ravina of the Underworld.”
Ravi:
“I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS—”
Kai applauded.
Leonhart panicked.
The underworld worshipped her.
And Ravi…
…just wanted to go home and drink soup.
