[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 110. Infiltrate The Capital Gate
Prince Raoul stared at the capital's gates with a nostalgic look as soon as he managed to see the place from a distance. With the constant troubles that had befallen him since Raoul left the capital, it felt like it had been a long time since the prince had been able to return to his hometown. Within that gate, there was Ariana and the thousands of citizens of the capital that he needed to save. His fight in that place will determine his victory in the fight for the throne.Prince Raoul took a deep breath to calm himself. The prince had gone through many battles to get to this point. But in all the battles, he had never felt this nervous. Raoul could only pray that everything went smoothly. Ariana has been rescued from the royal palace, while Emilio is nowhere to be found after being poisoned. For now, Raoul only needed to focus on breaking into the palace and taking back what had belonged to him all along.“Your Highness, please leave the rescue of the citizens to me and my troops. W

About thirty minutes had passed since Ariana's initial run.During that time, the gate that should have been open had still not been opened by Carla. Ariana looked towards the gate with a worried look. Even though the girl knew she should believe in Carla, Ariana still couldn't help but the bad thoughts that started to form in her mind. From the start, opening the gate from within with just two people sounded impossible. Ariana was just about to turn around to reach the gate, when the heavy gate that was impossible to lift, slowly began to rise upwards.“Who, who, opened the gate?! Where did the people who were asked to guard the gate go?!”From a distance, Ariana could hear the soldiers screaming in panic. The chaos got even worse when, from within the capital alone, Ariana could hear fast-moving horses. The look in Ariana's eyes softened slightly when she finally got to see Prince Raoul leading his army to enter the capital.Even though during the war, Prince Raoul would wear his ba

When Emilio woke up again, he felt that thousands of stones had crushed his body. The man couldn't help but cough as he tried to wake up suddenly. His vision was a little blurry. Emilio could only hear someone faintly calling his name before he finally regained consciousness enough to look around.As soon as Emilio glanced at the buzzing sound that had been bothering him for a long time, the man found his mother who had been locked up in a secluded castle staring at him with teary eyes.“Emilio, thank goodness you're awake, Son. Don't worry, we'll soon be out of this place. I've thought about it well. There's no revenge or other crimes. I just want to live happily with you from now on.”Emilio's brows furrowed as he didn't understand what his mother meant. Even though Emilio's body was still weak and shaking slightly when he forced himself to wake up, the man still got up from his sleeping position to process what had happened. Emilio only remembers that he was poisoned by Cornell in t

We can control the situation here. So, please help Prince Raoul to find King Emilio!”Hearing that Prince Raoul had entered the palace first to look for Emilio, Ariana felt she didn't have much time left. The girl could only nod at Jimmy, before racing her horse to go to the royal palace.The more she entered the palace, Ariana saw more and more people were forced to stop following Prince Raoul to fight the enemies in the palace. Ariana rushed into the palace and saw that Prince Raoul was fighting Emilio.In the throne room, located in the innermost part of the palace, the two brothers fought for the position of king. Maybe

In the king's study, both Marquess Curtis and Captain Allen glanced at each other as Raoul, who had been king for several months, took another deep breath. The man's gaze looked sad, as his hands continued to move to work on the pile of tasks in front of him.The two men who had been watching Raoul for a while knew that even though the king was doing his job, his mind was actually elsewhere. Another sigh sounded again, as Raoul finished with another paper.“Your Majesty, is there something wrong?”As the new prime minister, Marquess Curtis felt that helping to lighten Raoul's burden was one of his duties. Raoul did look at him after he asked. But not long after, Raoul's head drooped again, as if the man had given up on what was on his mind.“Are you thinking about Lady Ariana, Your Majesty?”When it was Captain Allen's turn to ask, the originally limp Raoul immediately became embarrassed when the new head of the royal knights asked him. “How, how did you know?” asked Raoul in disbelie

[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance Explanation About This Story
I thought I should make this an explanatory chapter, so that I can explain what has been going on in this story. First of all, those who go back in time or travel to other worlds do not simply send their souls to do so. They don't. They only send a fragment of their soul to fix their biggest unresolved regret. Not everyone can also go back in time like Ariana or Emilio. Only those who have the greatest regrets, or are responsible for the death of many lives, can go back in time or move to another world to right their wrongs. I hope that explains why Raoul's soul didn't transmigrate in the last arc. Yes, he also probably killed a lot of people to take over the throne. But Raoul was satisfied with the life he was living, so he didn't transmigrate or go back in time once he died. Then, did anyone realize that Ariana in each of these lives had a completely different personality? Ariana in her first life was a childish girl. She tends to be impulsive with her actions. And of course becau

["Did your exams go well? I heard from Aunt Melisa that you just got back from a business trip when exam season started. Emilio, even if you want to get into the business world as soon as possible like your parents, forcing yourself to do so is not a good thing either."]Emilio smiled softly as he heard his lover's nagging from the earphones he was using. The man felt lucky that in this world, even though they were now separated by distance, the two of them could still be in touch as if they had always been together. Emilio's gaze softened when he looked at Ariana, who was having a video call with him while lying on her big bed. At least by seeing that Ariana was comfortable with her own family, Emilio felt that the choice he made two years ago was the right one."Things are going well, Ariana. But still ... I can hardly believe my beloved can already nag me at this point."Ariana chuckled when she heard Emilio's complaint. Actually, even if Emilio sounded like he was complaining beca

When Ariana opened her eyes again, this time the girl was immediately greeted by the bright light of the all-white room lights. The girl heard several footsteps coming towards her. Ariana slowly changed her gaze and saw Emilio, Melisa, and Alister all approaching her with a look of surprise and relief on their faces.Ah, I'm still alive. That's what Ariana immediately thought when she realized that she was in the hospital all this time. Ariana's heart was squeezed when she saw Emilio crying and holding her hand tightly. Although Emilio didn't say anything, Ariana knew he was the most thankful one when she was awake at this moment."You're finally awake, Ariana," Emilio said in a trembling voice. The man bit his lip hard. Even though Emilio had agreed to attend counseling sessions aimed at reducing his unhealthy obsession with Ariana, Emilio still felt like he was suffocating when he saw that Ariana had regained her thinness in just a few days."I shouldn't have left you at that time.

With Ariana's kidnapping accident, Alister and Melisa, who were supposed to be away for a week on a business trip, ended up cutting their business trip short by three days. The two took the earliest flight and arrived at the hospital in the morning. In Ariana's hospital room, the two met Ian, and some bodyguards, who looked like they hadn't slept for a few days. The one who looked the worst was, of course, Ian. The bespectacled man, who usually always looked neat, now appeared with messy hair in front of them. Even his glasses which were usually properly fitted looked a little lopsided because Ian was in a hurry to fix them."Welcome back, Mr. Alister, Mrs. Melisa."They greeted Alister and Melisa in unison while bowing slightly. Alister nodded and gestured for them to sit down again. He couldn't bear to see them standing when they already looked like the undead."Ian, where was Emilio when Ariana was here?"As soon as they sat down, Melisa who couldn't find her son anywhere immediate

While everyone was busy searching for the whereabouts of the hostages taken by the robbers, Ariana, who had been taken by her Uncle finally woke up due to the abnormal shaking she had been feeling. As soon as she opened her eyes, Ariana was shocked to find that she had been in a fast-moving car all this time. Her limp body was crushed in the middle of two men with large bodies. Her hands were tightly bound, while her mouth was gagged with a cloth covered with plaster so she couldn't speak or scream.On the driver's seat, Daedalus, who had noticed Ariana's movement, turned to look at the girl. His face which had been shrouded in anger had now returned to a gentle look. The man smiled slightly, as he spoke in a soft tone to Ariana."Ariana, you can sleep longer, you know. We're going to a place so far away after this. Uncle has thought of it properly. In order for no one else to find and snatch you from Uncle, we should probably go to a place where no one else will recognize us."Ariana
