Villains Are Destined to Die, Vol. 9 by AH Cho

“Please don’t die, Penelope.”The moment the poison touched her lips, Penelope was destined to fall. But rather than the warm embrace of death she expected, what meets her instead is a cold, crushing limbo. With Penelope unable to awaken, the love interests find themselves divided―some accusatory, some protective, and a certain crown prince hell-bent on finding the culprit and making them pay. Little do the inhabitants of the ducal manor know, the enemy lies among them…As Ivonne continues to spin her web of lies, more and more people become victims of her brainwashing, leaving Penelope with fewer and fewer allies. Will Ivonne’s true nature be revealed before it’s too late?
