I would even play the villain for your sake.

Summary 

Lilith disliked the man her younger sister Rosaline had brought home.

A boy of slave origin with nothing to his name but a passably handsome face. No matter how she looked at it, he was beneath her sister’s station.

People adored the story—“a beautiful noble lady and the fair young boy she rescued”—but to Lilith, it was nothing but distasteful.

So the day she heard rumors that the two might elope under the cover of night, Lilith made up her mind.

She would kill him.

For Rosaline’s sake, Lilith was prepared to do anything.

And so, she succeeded in driving the boy out to the battlefield.
Now, there was no longer any “lowborn, unidentified slave boy” by Rosaline’s side.
Lilith was sincerely satisfied.

But even Lilith Blaire, unrivaled as she was, could not have known—

That the man she had sent away to die would return as a hero.
And that he would propose—not to Rosaline, but to her.
