(3rd Person POV)

The Black Agriches...

A family that is called an epitome of evil.

Filled with nutjobs, psychopaths and lunatics.

The head of the family is Lant Agriche, a person with ten wives who only cares about his capable children.

Not even worthy of being called a father or a husband.

(Image - Lant Agriche)

Lant Agriche had many children but the core of the future of the Agriches were -

Dion Agriche

Roxana Agriche

And Jeremy Agriche

These three formed a major part of the strength of the Agriche Family.

Agriche Family dealt with crime, murder, assassinations etc. They were one of the two leading groups in the underworld.

They were one of the most ambitious families in the empire.

They had done more than half of the rebellions against the Phoenix Empire since its founding.

Though, they were almost annihilated...in almost all rebellions.

For the past 200 years, there haven't been any rebellions as the last rebellion resulted in a long-running famine for all families.

They entered into a non-aggression pact together which was so that they do not enter into any conflicts.

Though, that's just so families do not fight blatantly. There are still skirmishes disguised as the work of bandits or underworld forces.

The Agriches played an extremely important role in developing the underworld over the years.

They truly are the family designed to be called the heinous of all...

(??? POV)

The Flower of Hell

A romance novel that was popular among my friends.

In this novel, the female lead, Sylvia along with the other male leads was captured, incarcerated and had erotic affairs.

It was a 19+ Reverse Harem Novel.

She belonged to the family of righteous judges, The Pedelians.

This was a novel that I read in my previous life and...

What a twist that I reincarnated here...

I reincarnated as a person in the cruellest family to ever exist, The Agriches.

My name is Roxana Agriche.

I should have considered myself extremely lucky to have another life and I would have been happy about it.

But this family has an unfortunate fate...

They were wiped out in the novel by the female lead, Sylvia Pedelian.

[Sylvia Pedelian Image]

The spark that led this tragedy(for me) to occur was the kidnapping of the elder brother of the female lead, Cassis Pedelian.

[Cassis Pedelian Image]

However, this world is a lot different from the novel, in that novel, there was no Phoenix Empire and the Phoenix Family. All families had their territory and were independent of each other.

The Phoenix Family' is an unpredictable factor. I can't just depend on my knowledge of the plot now.

I have never seen the members of the Phoenix Family' but have heard of them.

They only have two people - the emperor, William Phoenix and the crown prince, Aston Phoenix.

The crown prince of the empire is the same age as mine and the emperor is in his 70s.

I have heard of the feats of the crown prince, becoming the youngest member of the council at the age of 15, staying in the Northern Forests for several months, defeating a wyvern and many more.

He has all the traits of being an important character and he might be a new original addition to the reverse harem of Sylvia Pedelian.

Though, his part may come later in the novel just like the other male leads.

(A few days later)

Ah, shit is finally hitting the fan...

My father has finally done the deed which resulted in the Agriches perishing.

He has caught The Prince of Blue, Cassis Pedelian.

A person who can reverse my fate...

It has been a week and a half since I have been visiting Cassis Pedelian in secret.

The guards are always so foolish, men who are susceptible to beauty...

He was in a worse state than expected. Several wounds paralyzed and with lots of blood loss...

He has been extremely wary of me but it is understandable that he won't trust anyone in his enemy's house.

I have given him an antidote and several medicines to eat.

He is still wary but more inclined to listen to me.

There is a custom in the Agriche family. The three most capable children dine with the head of the family.

A detestable custom just for the purpose of solidifying the loyalty of the children...

Fortunately, Or maybe unfortunately I am one of them.

Today is the day of the grand banquet and I am moving toward the dining room with my younger brother, Jeremy Agriche.

Jeremy Agriche, this punk was the person who captured Sylvia Pedelian and was the cause of our tragedy.

Though he is quite different than in the novel, he is quite cute now, maybe because he is young, he just needs some affection.

A good pawn to use...

I enter the dining room and settle myself on my designated seat.

What greets my sight is my villainous father with his usual crazed smile, glancing outside the window...

After a few moments, his voice enters our ears, "Congratulations on your successful results over the past month. Shall we enjoy the great banquet?"

While we were dining, he asked me, "How are the results of the venomous butterflies? I am expecting a lot from this project."

My answer came out, "The first two eggs failed in Incubation but the last one is growing well. Don't worry. Also, I can't wait to show father the venomous butterflies."

"Hahaha, I hope you won't disappoint me."

"You seem to be in a good mood father. I think it's because of the game you caught this time..."

He said in a pleased tone, "You are quick-witted as expected, Roxana. The Pedelians are in a hurry to find him."

Jeremy, in confusion, said, "Who in the basement to make them act like that?"

My father said with a smirk, "The Prince of the Blue."

Like anyone else, the shock and surprise can be seen on Jeremy's face plainly.

"The Prince of the Blue?! Really?!?!"

This is a moment that I have to take for my plan to be successful.

I said in my usual calm tone with a tinge of fake awe, "Really? Father is incredible."

This takes up his attention as he said, "It is unexpected that you are interested in this."

"It's because this toy is special compared to others. Father, the Pedelians are known to be righteous judges. Among them, Prince of the Blue is the Pedelian of the Pedelians."

My lips curl into a smile as my tone filled with faked excitement, "That noble Pedelian, Doesn't the sight of him pinned under my foot, dirtily barking like a dog in a rut. Seems quite fun?"

After a still moment of silence, his voice rings out, "Hahahaha. It's better than I thought. Alright, Roxana. I give the toy-"

His words are interrupted as a butler of the house runs to us nervously and with a pale face.

Father's voice growled out irritatedly, "What is the reason for interrupting our grand banquet?"

The butler said, "A l-letter for t-the Head Of the A-Agriches."

"I will check the letter later. There is no need to disrupt the banquet."

"B-But it's from the P-Phoenix Family."

My mind immediately goes into deep thinking, this must be the butterfly effect of having an unknown person in this world.

Surprisingly, My father has an ashen face, his hesitating voice said, "Give me the letter."

This is the first time in my life that my father looks scared. His hesitating voice is enough proof that he is terrified of something or someone in the Phoenix Family.

My father has never been in hesitation in front of any family but this is the first time...

My father grabs the letter from the butler and I could see the royal seal of the empire pass in front of me.

He unfolds the letter and reads it. Moment after moment, his face turns more and more pallid.

After he had read it, he slams his hands on the table in a violent way.

Both I and Jeremy are startled but I maintain my composure.

He stands like that for a couple of minutes and then shouts in a loud voice, "Bring all the main servants to me. NOW!"

He addressed me quickly, "Roxana, you won't have this toy currently. Agriches are facing a major problem and that mutt could lead us to perish."

Jeremy asked in a startled tone, "But father, what happened?!"

He said with apprehension and with a hint of being terrified which did not miss my eyes, "The-

(End of the Chapter)

Hope you liked the introduction of the female lead. I had to scrap a whole chapter I wrote.

I hope that first-person POV was better than in my first fanfiction. It took a lot of time to write this one.

If you liked the story, then add it to your library. Give me some power stones and write some comments to fill my ego.
