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

At the end of a beautiful hill, Ariana stood accompanied by Carla, who was standing far behind her. In the girl's hands, there was now a beautiful bouquet of flowers which she finally kept on top of the two simple tombstones that were there. Ariana looked at the two graves with a sad look, when she remembered that one of the tombstone owners' bodies had never been found.Every spring, Ariana would visit the graves of her loved ones to just take care of the place, so it wouldn't be abandoned. With her position, Ariana has hired someone to take care of the graves of the people who played a big role in her life. But the girl would still come every year, with a bouquet of flowers for every grave she visited.At the end of the cliff with the beautiful wisteria tree, there's Valencia's tomb which is aligned with Cornell's tomb. The couple was now given proper tombstones so that people would know that the one resting there was one of the heroes who helped King Raoul ascend to the throne.At

As the Sigmund Kingdom's economy had improved over the past few months, Raoul managed to save enough money to throw a grand party to celebrate Raoul's appointment as king of the Sigmund Kingdom. Since early morning, various luxurious carriages passed through the streets of the capital to go to the royal palace. Because King Raoul was so famous in the eyes of other kingdoms, queues to enter the royal palace caused congestion on the streets of the great capital.Ariana, who had come with Cale in the horse carriage, couldn't believe it when they too were caught in the traffic jam. It seemed that even before Raoul became a king, his popularity had already spread across many kingdoms. Ariana could see that most kingdoms sent their daughters as royal representatives. They did that, probably because they knew that Raoul still didn't have a queen until now.“Your Grace, thank God you arrived safely.”As soon as Ariana got off her carriage, she was immediately greeted by Captain Allen, who gre
Last Updated : 2022-11-16[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 119. Marriage Agreement
When Raoul saw Princess Elle coming to his party, the king asked for a private room to talk to the girl about the Orvel Kingdom's troops that are still living in the Sigmund Kingdom. Previously, they were forced to stay in the Sigmund Kingdom for a while because they were ordered by King Bernard to help Raoul secure the Sigmund Kingdom during the unstable reign. But now that everything was over, Raoul felt he needed to return the troops to the Orvel Kingdom. Raoul certainly couldn't talk about such sensitive matters in public. So, when the guests were entertained with various events that Raoul had prepared, the king went to see Princess Elle, who had first entered the private room that Raoul had chosen.“Raoul!”Princess Elle, who originally appeared as if she was still friends with Raoul, immediately stopped when General Dion pretended to cough to warn the girl. In front of Princess Elle right now, Raoul was no longer a prince who had the same status as her. Raoul was a king, and Pri

“Curtis, should we get married? With your status and age… People must have been urging you to get married too, right?”Seeing Marquess Curtis' shocked face, Ariana finally realized that she had asked the impossible. The girl was pensive before she averted her gaze from Marquess Curtis.“You see, many people have been constantly sending me letters and gifts since His Majesty ascended the throne and everything was … Really over. They know I'm the only one left in my family, so I have an obligation to continue my family lineage. I thought that instead of marrying a noble I didn't know well before … It's better if I can marry someone I already know well.”Marquess Curtis is a man who is intelligent, gentle, and never distinguishes the status of others. Apart from Alison's family, the Alodie family was probably another noble who managed to maintain the prosperity of their territory even in times of chaotic reign. Marquess Curtis also always treated Ariana well. So, the girl thought, maybe M

“Raoul, are you okay?”On the dance floor, Raoul regained his senses when Princess Elle rebuked him in a low voice. When the king saw Princess Elle's worried face, the man finally realized that he was dancing in the middle of the dance floor with the princess. Many people step aside to give them more space to dance. The atmosphere was made so solemn, that people might misunderstand the current status of the two.In fact, Raoul was forced to use his first chance to dance with Princess Elle because people kept pushing him to do so. They said Raoul and Princess Elle should be able to show that the two kingdoms have been on good terms at the ball this time. Not to mention, Princess Elle also looked like she wanted to dance with Raoul. The king felt he couldn't let Princess Elle down, especially when many people had been watching their interactions ever since the two of them had been seen talking together.“I'm fine. You don't have to worry, Elle.”Even though Raoul said that, even when Ra

“Fresh fruit, please buy our fresh fruit!”“Fresh vegetables straight from the farmer! Come buy before they run out!”Princess Elle stared in amazement at the market interactions in the Sigmund Kingdom's capital. Perhaps because the Sigmund Kingdom was well-known for its extraordinary abundance of natural produce, Princess Elle could see that the market in the Sigmund Kingdom was selling various vegetables and fruits that the princess had never eaten before. The girl looked at the vegetables and fruits one by one until some sellers couldn't help but stare at Princess Elle with strange looks.Since Princess Elle had firmly rejected the special guards prepared by King Raoul, the girl went to the market in disguise this time. In ordinary noble attire, no one could have guessed that the girl who constantly wandered around the market was the princess of the Orvel Kingdom. The girl was so excited when she saw things she had never seen before until someone's hand was holding her back.“Princ
Last Updated : 2022-11-18[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 123. Duchess of Alison
Hearing the woman's screams and the mention of 'Her Grace', General Dion finally realized his mistake and hastily lowered his sword again. From start to finish, the girl who had been threatened just smiled gently while looking at them. The girl stopped as her maid was about to put on her body for her. Furthermore, the girl even introduced herself respectfully to Princess Elle.“Sorry if I startled you, Your Highness. Then, please forgive my maid's disrespect as well. I, Duchess Alison, greet Her Highness, Princess Elle. May health and prosperity always be with you.”Princess Elle was completely shocked when she realized that this beautiful girl in front of her was someone Raoul always talked about in his spare time. Even if Ariana was currently wearing simple clothes, Princess Elle still couldn't stop admiring the girl's beauty and strength. Ariana should have an age that is not much different from Princess Elle. However, both her appearance and demeanor looked very different from Pri

[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.

"The Ariana we know is the daughter of Alison's family, who has been missing all this time. Emilio, Ariana's family is alive, and they are still searching for their daughter today."Emilio's mind was a mess when he heard his father's words. All this time, even though he sounded evil, Emilio felt happy when he heard that Ariana no longer had anyone in this world. Emilio thought there would be no one to take Ariana away from him from now on. But now, he had to accept the fact that someone could take Ariana away from him whenever they wanted.If Ariana was asked to choose between her family or her lover, her choice had always been clear in her two previous lives. Emilio looked at Ariana with a dark gaze. His bad thoughts rose again, as he started planning how to hide Ariana from Alison's family.Once Alister and Melisa saw the evil look in Emilio's eyes, they were finally convinced of their choice. Neither of them wanted to separate the two after the terrible events they went through. Ho

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

Bang!Ariana closed her eyes and prepared herself to face death. But after all this time, the pain and death she expected didn't happen either. Instead, Ariana could feel that the masked man's grip on her was weakening as time passed. Ariana opened her eyes, then saw the gruesome wound on the side of the man's head."Police, don't move!"Not far from their position, Not far from their position, Ariana saw that Emilio had just shot someone in order to save her. Behind the teenager, a group of police suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Some of the policemen moved quickly to fight the armed robbers, while others immediately secured the hostages. The badly injured Ariana was caught in the middle of the chaos. She could hear someone walking over and calling her name. Ariana smiled a little. There was no mistaking it, this person who was approaching her was the same person who shot dead the masked man who tried to kill her.Although Ariana's eyes were already heavy when Emilio was able to app

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

Ever since Emilio finished his group work, the young man hadn't stopped checking his phone with a furrowed brow. It was unusual for Ariana to ignore his calls like this. Ever since Melisa bought the girl a new cell phone, Ariana was always ready to answer their calls even if the girl was asleep.But this time, Emilio didn't get the answer he wanted even if he had called dozens of times. The young man started to feel something was wrong, so he finally asked Ian to give him the phone number of the bodyguard who was asked to guard Ariana at her house.[The number you have reached, cannot be reached.]Emilio grew impatient when he didn't get a positive answer from the people around Ariana. The young man called all the numbers he knew. But in the end, only Aunt May answered and said that she had returned to her own home since the sun had set."Ian, speed up our journey home.
