[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 16. In The Way to The Palace
Since early in the morning, Ariana had woken up to be dressed up for Crown Prince Emilio's birthday. In previous years, Ariana had always been the most busy girl because she prepared many gifts for her fiancé. But this time, Ariana didn't even bother to look at the gifts that James had carefully chosen. She gave gifts only as a formality. Because the truth is, Ariana tried to no longer have the slightest concern for her ex-fiancé.When Ariana looked at her reflection in the mirror, the girl finally understood why her grandfather had to order new clothes for this birthday party. Unlike the beautiful dress that Ariana usually wears to visit parties, the girl is wearing a beautiful dress with a pant now. Ariana could already imagine how big the commotion would be because of her arrival. But that's what she expected. The more people who find her crazy and unreasonable, the better it will be for Ariana.After all, it's time to remind them again, that the Alison family is a strong family be

“His Grace the Duke of Alison and Lady Ariana entered the room!”When someone announced their arrival, the attention of the people inside the Crown Prince's Palace almost immediately focused on Duke Andrew and Ariana. Not quite there, the sound of whispers immediately sounded when they saw Ariana come wearing pants instead of a dress as usual. People's gazes seemed to scorn Ariana, who was considered crazy. But under her grandfather's tutelage, no one was crazy enough to dare to mock the girl directly.With the confidence that she managed to cultivate during her life in the palace, Ariana walked gracefully and confidently to approach Queen Melisa and Crown Prince Emilio, who were the center of attention at this event. Ariana bowed respectfully in front of the two. Her graceful style was completely unmatched, with an appearance that could be called inappropriate for a young girl like her.“Duke Andrew greets Her Majesty the Queen and His Highness the Crown Prince.”“Ariana greets Her M

“Raoul greets Her Majesty, and His Highness the Crown Prince.”Ariana fell silent as she watched the eldest prince lower his body without the slightest shame. Even though Emilio was his younger brother in terms of age, the difference in their status forced Raoul to bow his head to his brother. Whispers were heard everywhere after Raoul come to the room. Compared to Ariana who came in pants, people dared to insult the prince who didn't have any power in the palace.“Thank you for being willing to come despite your poor health, Prince Raoul. As a brother, your presence alone is sufficient as a gift to Crown Prince Emilio.”Not only Ariana, even Duke Andrew slightly frowned when Queen Melisa blatantly insulted Prince Raoul. Since the sickly prince rarely received affection from the people in the palace, Raoul seemed forced to come without bringing any gifts. His attire was also too simple, even though he was a prince. For comparison, Ariana's clothes can be judged to be far more luxurious

When Ariana was about to return to the crown prince's palace to meet her grandfather, the girl happened to see the king coming with his servants and royal knights. Seeing the king, Ariana hesitantly stopped her movement. Just dealing with the queen and crown prince was exhausting enough for her. Ariana was afraid that she would only create an awkward situation, if she met King Alexius without being accompanied by her grandfather.Her intention was, Ariana would pretend she wasn't there until King Alexius walked into the room. The girl slipped between the palace trees. James also pulled to do the same. The two of them hid, with James staring at Ariana in confusion, until the sound of footsteps came closer and closer to them.“Glad to see you're well, Ariana.”Ariana looked up to see King Alexius who was looking at her with a faint smile. For a moment, Ariana was surprised when she saw the new expression on the young king's face. In the past, the man who was king before Emilio had never

Ariana woke up again when the maid at Alison's residence woke her up in the morning. As the girl got up from her sleeping position, Ariana subconsciously immediately massaged her nose in a bit of frustration. Yesterday was a pretty crazy day for Ariana. Now, Ariana knew she knew Prince Raoul in the past, and King Alexius would most likely die abnormally in the future.Perhaps because this was her second life, she was provided the opportunity to know more things now. The palace which was always considered the safest place in the entire kingdom turned out to be a dangerous battlefield in a peaceful kingdom. Ariana was pensive with a serious face until the maid in charge of waking her didn't dare to disturb the girl even a bit.Slightly blackened lips and nails. If Ariana hadn't drunk the same poison in the past, she probably wouldn't have noticed the slight change that happened to King Alexius. The poison that will slowly take away the victim's ability to move, is a poison that works fo

A luxurious carriage bearing the Alison family crest stopped on the palace grounds. From the inside, Ariana jumped out in an unusual outfit. After Ariana got used to wearing pants, the dress that used to be her favorite outfit made it difficult for her to move freely. Now, Ariana prefers to wear clothes with pants, along with a sword that is always carried around her slender waist.Because of her unusual attire, Ariana is the subject of conversation among people in the palace again. Not to mention because this time Duke Andrew wasn't with her, people felt they could gossip more freely in front of the girl. Throughout Ariana's steps, she could hear someone whispering about how she had gone crazy after the accident.“Those shameless people. Lady Aria, please allow me to punish those people who don't know their place anymore.”James' face darkened, as he couldn't stand the sight of those people talking about Ariana, who was of a much higher status than them. But when James wanted to move

The wind blew as Raoul finished speaking. Not only Ariana, even James immediately understood what the prince's words meant. Either directly or indirectly, Queen Melisa is proven to know something about Ariana's accident. Calling it an accident might be wrong from now on. Raoul's words were tantamount to telling them that someone had indeed targeted Ariana because the girl was close to Raoul.“Your Highness, you mean that ….”Raoul felt he had nothing to hide from Ariana anymore. After what happened to the girl, Raoul himself felt that Ariana should at least remember what happened.“Don't you remember? At that time, you secretly came to me to play as usual. However … That time, Her Majesty the Queen was visiting me and saying things you shouldn't have heard. You immediately ran away before I could stop you. Later, I heard the news that you fell into the pool accidentally. I'm truly sorry, Aria. I didn't know things would turn out like this ….”Along with Raoul's explanation, the young

“Welcome back, Lady Aria. Upon hearing your arrival, His Grace is waiting for you in his study.”Ariana had just gotten off the horse carriage when Jimmy was waiting for her in front of the house. Jimmy's slightly troubled face indicated that Duke Andrew had heard of Ariana's plan. Knowing this, Ariana could already guess what her grandfather's anger she had to endure. Because unlike when she decided to break off the engagement with the crown prince, supporting Prince Raoul to ascend to the throne was tantamount to officially opposing the palace's decision. Worse still, publicly supporting Prince Raoul could charge Ariana with treason.Ariana's plan this time is indeed very dangerous. But this plan was crucial if Ariana really wanted to get rid of Crown Prince Emilio and Queen Melisa in the future.“James, you told my grandfather everything you heard earlier didn't you?” asked Ariana just to be sure. James nodded guiltily. “Without any lies or additions, I reported everything to His G

[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. I

"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. Then, tell Father that I can't get in touch with whoever is in charge of looking after Ariana at home.""Yes, Young
