The next day at school, Lila came back from her field trip in London which was a lie because the reason she pretended to be in London was so she wouldn't have to go to school but to spy on Adrinette couple just so she could fill on the info to Gabriel, being well aware that she knows he is Monarch. The students all welcomed her back, though Marinette had to fake it. Even Adrien did not want to give Lila the attention she deserved, still holding a grudge for what she did to Marinette was not okay, at the cost of ruining the deal and the friendship, he was done with giving her multiple chances to become a better person the same way he tried for Chloe but both of them were beyond redemption and he had to face the hard truth.
"So how was London?" Rose asked.
"It was fun being there, the famous A3 locomotive The Flying Scotsman was visiting the King's Cross station," Lila said.
Marinette scoffed at how this was much of a lie again. The real Flying Scotsman is currently standing on occasion in the museum at York.
"Yeah, the last A3 there is," Marinette said.
"I also got to meet the queen herself in person. It was a great honor to meet her at last" Lila lied.
"Really?" Asked Juleka.
"And how exactly did you meet her when she only met at Buckingham Palace?" Marinette asked.
"I have my ways to get there," Lila said.
"There was no news about her meeting you. Not a single one" Marinette pointed her fact.
"Well, it was a private meeting" Lila lied.
"Queen Elizabeth never had a private meeting. If it were private, she would've announced it by then" Marinette said.
"Why are you doubting Lila? She's just sharing her stories?" Rose said.
"Just a fact I know about the queen," Marinette said.
"But private meetings are supposed to be a secret girl" Alya argued.
"It's true! I know tha-" Marinette got interrupted.
"Secret meetings aren't meant to be public," Rose said. But Adrien didn't join them to argue.
He can see the smirk on Lila's face that she was planning this for everyone to turn against Marinette. Especially to change them as the not true friends they will be in Marinette's eyes.
"So this is it, then? You believe her over my facts? You've known me longer than her" Marinette said.
"Anyone can be friends with anyone," Rose said.
"So you believe everything she says? Not even asking Jagged Stone if he owns a cat? You never checked every source online about it but completely trust Lila's words over everything?" Marinette asked, testing how much they decided to trust Lila, especially forgetting the superhero persona she entrusted them.
"He does have a crocodile," Juleka said.
"Yes. And here's a reminder to you all, Jagged is allergic to cats!" Marinette sharply reminded them.
Adrien takes Marinette outside before it gets a lot worse for her, especially Lila taking all the glory for herself to make everyone see Marinette looking like a bad person.
"Marinette, don't let Lila get to you. She's trying to make you look bad" Adrien tries to calm her down.
"I can't! My emotions have been bottled up so much that I can't stand her! I'm having an anxiety attack!" Marinette wasn't kidding that her anxiety was causing her so much pain and trauma like she believed Lila would be the next new bully than Chloe.
"I need to be alone," Marinette said, not wanting to take her anger out on Adrien.
She headed downstairs to go outside before class started but she didn't care. She was not in her right state of mind for her friends to go against her when she needed them the most, especially with all these akumatized victims using the miraculous, it was no successful mission without knowing who Monarch was. Not even from Felix who traded all the miraculous for unknown reasons she didn't understand.
She heads to the bakery before her parents can ask why she left school early but she does not say anything.
She storms up to her room, frustrated, "Lila's worse than Monarch! She got every student under her thumb!" She clutched her head.
"Marinette! Calm down!" Tikki said, knowing that her owner's frustration was gonna trigger an Akuma.
"How can I calm down when they are siding with Lila without checking their facts?! Even the teachers are not doing their jobs to protect students from Chloe or Lila! From what I see now, my friends are doing all the work for Lila so she doesn't have to get stuck in a situation in the open! Just like she's doing to Chloe like Monarch does to his victims in hiding! She's only gonna use them to break their trust!" Marinette cried in anger.
"Don't let him get you!" Tikki warned.
Marinette removed her earrings and gave them to Tikki since she couldn't handle her bottled-up emotions pressuring her so much that she held on for as long as she could, but unfortunately, too many bottled-up emotions bring out too much pressure to handle.
"Marinette! No!" Tikki held the earrings but did not want to leave her be.
The Akuma found its victim to prey on as it landed on the lucky charm Adrien gave her for her birthday, connecting Marinette to accept Monarch's request.
Tikki saw it and she had no choice but to find Adrien for help since he's the last holder in Paris.
"Princess Justice, you thought your friends could be better than this but instead they only like to hear what Lila tells them about? I'm giving you the power to expose their truth, a white lie or a black lie. Whatever secrets liars hold will no longer be a secret anymore. In return…." Monarch didn't get to finish.
"I know what you want but I want to bring justice to Paris for believing a pathological liar getting away with everything! Especially wiping out every injustice in Paris!" Marinette accepts as she is engulfed in dark particles. She now appears nearly like a princess with a tiara on her head but with leggings for her to run and fight, similar to Tifa from Final Fantasy. Her pigtails are now like in a Harley Quinn style with red and dark blue highlights. She hides her akumatized object so she doesn't ruin her chance to wipe out injustice if Cat Noir or anyone tries to stop her.
"Now find the Alliance ring to complete your new look," Monarch said.
"It will be my pleasure" Princess Justice teleports to the bakery, startling her parents, "I changed my mind about the alliance ring, Mom. Hand it over!" Princess Justice demanded.
"Marinette?!" Sabine backs away.
"I'm Princess Justice. Right now, I want the alliance ring as my jewelry!" Princess Justice snatched the alliance ring which had the Lila avatar, growling angrily to change it to Adrien instead with her power, since she hates liars with a fiery passion.
"Marinette! This isn't you! Fight it!" Tom tried to reach for his daughter.
"Why should I? My friends turned against me by believing a pathological liar! Because of her, they all think I'm overreacting instead of checking their facts like real mature kids! From now on, I'm not gonna stand by and let Lila Rossi hurt everyone with her black lies to damage their lives!" Princess Justice said before leaving the bakery, "If you try to warn Cat Noir, I won't show mercy!"

At school, Adrien was angry at his friends for doubting Marinette and did nothing to stop her from leaving the classroom.
"You guys really offended her. She was trying to point her facts for you" Adrien said.
"Who cares?! What a drama nobody!" Chloe acting rude.
The Akuma alert blared on their alliance rings and as it did, multiplied Princess Justice who used Multitude and used Voyage around the world to broadcast the people Lila claims to have mentioned about, demanding them to reveal the truth about Lila Rossi claiming anything she did for them.
Starting with Jagged Stone who was in Brazil with his son, "So, Mr. Stone. Don't be frightened. I just wanna hear the real truth from your perception. Did a girl named Lila Rossi save your cat? Did you write a song for her?" Princess Justice asked.
"Of course not and I really am allergic to cats. Why should I write a song for a stranger I don't know" Jagged said, trying to remain calm.
Another in Achu to hear Prince Ali's truth. Rose looks scared to see Prince Ali frightened by an akumatized victim but he was not harmed.
"Tell me, did you ever meet this Lila Rossi?" Princess Justice demanded answers.
"I've never met her" Prince Ali said, a little frightened.
"Did she fly with you in a private jet? Did she have a close relationship with you?" Princess Justice demanded an answer.
"No, never had," Prince Ali told her the truth.
Another in Hollywood stood Steven Spielberg who was making an interview with Andy Serkis until it was interrupted by Princess Justice.
"Hello, Spielberg. I'm from Paris and I just want to hear your side of the story. A girl named Lila Rossi claims she has filmed in your movies. Did she ever once star in a Hollywood movie? Did she make an interview with you?" Princess Justice asked.
"Never heard of her nor she has starred in my movies," Steven said.
"So she never met any film directors nor you? Huh? I thought she said she would promise a friend of mine to get to meet you. I guess she lied to him" Princess Justice chuckled.
Another one was one of the professional doctors with a PhD who keeps records of people's disabilities and mental disabilities in Paris. Princess Justice broadcasted everyone in Paris to hear.
"Hello, doc. Yeah, I'm an Akumatized victim and I did not come here to cause trouble. I came here to ask you if you know anything about Lila Rossi's disabilities. Does she have tinnitus? Arthritis in her wrists? Any other disabilities or injuries she claims to have? Have you known her about it?" Princess Justice asked menacingly.
"She never showed any of those," The doctor said.
"Not even the appointments she has made? No prescriptions?" Princess Justice asked again.
"None of them," The doctor said.
The students were all looking at Lila, who was now nervous, "She's akumatized! She probably is using her power to make them lie!" Lila trying to fool them into believing her.
Princess Justice finally came to London to see Queen Elizabeth to ask her if she ever met Lila in a private meeting.
"I never met someone by that name" Elizabeth confirmed.
"So there was no private meeting the other day? If there was no private meeting, exactly where were you doing the other day?" Princess Justice asked.
"I was with my family at another castle," Elizabeth said.
"I see. So this means Lila was lying. Or was she never in London at that time?" Princess Justice smirked.
The broadcast went blackout and in seconds, Princess Justice called up her clones to combine with her at the bakery and used Voyage to make her appearance in the classroom, forcing them to remain calm and try to move away from Lila Rossi.
"Well, well, well. So, the real people who never met Lila Rossi were telling the truth. And as for you!" Princess Justice zaps Lila with her truth spell to compel the truth, if she lies, it will only grow more painful in her chest, "Reveal your truth when I ask you questions"
"Agh! Never! You're only trying to…..agh…..why can't I say what I say?!" Lila felt her chest hurt when she tried to come up with a lie.
"My power is about justice and I have the power to make people reveal the truth! It's pointless to lie when your chest feels like it's on fire!" Princess Justice cackled, "Now then, did I really steal the answering sheets? Push you down the stairs? Steal your necklace? Reveal your truth from my questions!"
"I stole the answering sheets and placed them in your backpack! You didn't push me down the stairs because walked down the stairs and pretended to be hurt! You didn't steal my necklace, I placed it in your locker!" Lila was forced to confess.
The classroom was shocked to hear that they blamed Marinette for no reason without hearing her side of the story when instead they believed Lila was innocent when it was her the whole time.
"Are you really best friends with Ladybug?" Princess Justice asked.
"No! I hate her so much! Agh! I never wanted to be saved by her!" Lila confessed by force.
"Were you really gonna help change Chloe to be a better person?" She asked again.
"NO! I was using her because she and I hate Marinette so much that we want to make her life miserable! Aaargh, it hurts!" Lila screamed in pain.
"And tell me what you did to me in the bathroom that day?!" Princess Justice asked with anger.
"Agh! I threatened you that you won't have friends left at all and I made a promise to never let you get close to Adrien or anyone if you don't be my friend!" Lila couldn't handle it by trying to lie.
Unaware that Adrien left the classroom to transform into Cat Noir in hiding and came into the classroom to stop this madness.
"You do know actual princesses would show kindness than being rude to her friends" Cat Noir taunting her.
"Not this princess, fleabag!" Princess Justice roared, "Stay the hell out of this! Your bug won't be here to come help you now! I'm no liar!"
"There's no revenge in a place of justice, dark princess. If you cool down, your prince charming won't have to feel upset with you" Cat Noir trying to play cool.
"Stop trying to distract me! My justice is this liar brat who has done nothing but cause a web of lies to destroy everything! My life, my dreams, my friends, EVERYTHING!" Princess Justice held her sword.
"I'm sorry Princess, but you leave me no choice" Cat Noir hated to fight his own girlfriend, "Cataclysm!" He said his power and tried to touch her sword to believe the Akuma was in there but she grabbed his wrist and forced him to touch Lila's head which would've been way too far, especially on a direct hit of a living person.
"NO!" Cat Noir screamed in horror.
Even everyone else was in shock but instead, the cataclysm spread only on her hair which turned out to be a wig, turning into black ash.
"No! No! No!" Lila freaked out that her wig was destroyed and everyone saw that her hair was a fake while her real hair was a short pixie style hair.
"Ah, just as I thought" Princess Justice pushed Cat Noir against the wall, "It all makes sense now. Based on your Akuma powers as Volpina, Hoaxer, and Chameleon have to do with lies and deception" Princess Justice stated her facts together.
Even Monarch seeing through Princess Justice's eyes, he never thought that Lila was more than something else to do bad things, "I was not expecting that!" He said in shock.
"Of course, you never expect anything you idiot!" Princess Justice scoffed and ignored the telepathy mask on her face, "How does it feel to lose everything, Lila? Or is that really your name? Hmmm…." She snatched Alya's phone, "Give me that!" She turned on the flashlight mode to test Lila's eyes and saw no pupillary reflex but a hint of brown through it, "Just as I thought. You are wearing fake eye color contacts. That explains why you pretend to have an injured leg in gym class because your wig would fall off"
"No! It's not what you think!" Lila screamed from the pain in her chest by lying.
"You deceived us?! How could you do that!" Miss Bustier felt angry but also ashamed of herself for not being fully aware of Lila's deception.
"I can't believe I trusted you! I became a terrible friend to my girl! All because of how obsessed I am with scoops and your stories which were fake!" Alya felt angry at herself that Marinette was right all along.
Even Cat Noir also felt angry too not only that Lila was a liar but also a deceiver too, "You've gone too far this time, Lila!" Cat Noir storms over to her.
"It wasn't my intention to…agh…..get her angry!" Lila backs away.
"You ruined my life! Now you will suffer like me!" Princess Justice glared at her.
"Whoa, easy! Calm down! Princesses don't get very angry like that! Whoa!" Cat Noir blocked the sword with his staff.
"Enough talk! Clout!" She made a blast on him with the tiger clout blast.
Cat Noir crashed through the wall. The blast didn't kill him but he did feel like he got punched hard in the chest, still breathing fine, pun intended with having nine lives.
"Agh! Okay! I can see how angry you are with having suppressive feelings. Are you calm yet?" Cat Noir slowly stands up.
"Are you kidding?! I never stop until justice is served! Starting with that fashion designer who tried to manipulate my decision to let go of Adrien Agreste! Like he thinks I'm not good enough for him or he just says that he is Adrien's father and knows what's best for him! More like he says that to satisfy himself, not even try to be more supportive of his son to let him be happy!" Princess Justice jumps to the roof to head to the mansion.
Cat Noir was about to follow when Tikki appeared, "Cat Noir!" Tikki said.
"Tikki? What are you doing here? Where's Milady?" Cat Noir asked.
"She's…..gotten held up. I'm afraid she can't help now" Tikki said.
"We must do something before my princess does something horrible to my father," Cat Noir said, knowing he had to recharge again since he used cataclysm which he nearly almost scared himself for using it on a person but no harm was done.
