[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 28. The King's Order
“Another grouse from Lady Aria. I am very impressed with your archery skills, My Lady.”Ariana smiled shyly as Albert praised her abilities. Ever since the hunt started, Ariana could easily take down a few hares and grouse using her bow. This achievement was possible because Albert patiently helped Ariana to be good at finding prey. Her grandfather really do a great job, when he appointed Albert as Ariana's guard for today.“This is all thanks to Sir Albert's teachings. However, Sir Albert … Have we got any news about Prince Raoul?”Ever since the hunting competition started, Ariana hadn't seen Prince Raoul yet. The hunting ground, which is too wide to explore, makes it difficult for the participants to meet each other in the competition. Her grandfather had reminded her many times that Raoul would be fine because Grandpa had already assigned several shadow guards to guard the prince. But, Ariana still couldn't stop worrying as she watched the sky above her, begin to be covered by thi

“Firstly, I want to thank you for being Prince Raoul's friend for all these years. I'm glad to see him growing more confident since he got to know you, Ariana,” King Alexius said to begin with. The whole time, Ariana didn't understand why King Alexius was suddenly paying attention to Prince Raoul like this. That man had also helped her many times when she had a confrontation with Prince Emilio. It was hard for Ariana to imagine, that this simple-looking king in front of her was the same person as a father who had the heart to abandon his child for many years.“Secondly, I would like to apologize for using you to help my son secretly all this time. I had no other choice, Ariana. The Alison family has always been on the side of the truth. So, I thought … Maybe you can help my innocent son.”Ariana's hand that was originally holding the teacup stopped moving when she heard King Alexius' words. Ariana's round eyes turned to stare at the man without even blinking. The girl never expected a

As soon as Ariana left the room, the girl saw Prince Raoul, who was still sitting with his head down on one of the chairs in that place. Before King Alexius spoke to him, the king seemed to have spoken to Prince Raoul first. For Ariana, who was only an observer in this tragedy, the life story of King Alexius and Prince Raoul was too sad to be true. Ariana couldn't imagine how broken Prince Raoul's heart was after hearing the truth of his life. “Lady Aria ….”Albert looked worried when Ariana came out with a slightly dazed expression. Even though everyone in Alison's household had acknowledged her greatness, Ariana was still a young girl who shouldn't have gotten too involved in political matters at such a young age. Moreover, Ariana is still a minor. Albert looked at Ariana sadly, wishing he could do something for his young lady.“Has His Majesty left?” Ariana asked quietly. Albert immediately nodded. “His Majesty the King returned immediately after speaking with you. I had offered t

After they finished talking, both Ariana and Raoul immediately returned to the camp to watch the hunting process. In the tent that was starting to get muddy from the rain, Ariana saw that King Alexius had arrived earlier and was overseeing the appraisal process being carried out by the people. When King Alexius saw Ariana and Raoul's arrival, the king secretly smiled a little at the two. However, his look soon turned cold again, as Queen Melisa glanced at her husband with a suspicious look.Just like King Alexius, Ariana pretended not to look at the two of them as she dismounted from her horse, and then joined in watching the other participants' prey. As per her calculations, she was in the top five of all the nobles. Ariana could see the other noble children were sending her accusing looks. Of course, since Albert was with her as her knight, many people thought Ariana was just asking her knights to find her suitable prey during the competition.But something more surprising happens a

When she got home, Ariana could tell that her grandfather had not returned when she didn't see the family carriage. When the maids saw that Ariana and Albert had returned with soaking wet clothes, they immediately prepared hot water for the two. Ariana immediately took a bath as the maids finished preparing her bath. With a new problem now emerging, Ariana felt she needed to give her brain a break before she thought hard again.Ariana didn't know how long she had been soaking. Only when the water she was using had cooled down, did the girl finally come out and put on her home clothes. When Ariana came out, James was already at her door. Ariana had messaged James beforehand, to let him know when her grandfather had come home from his business.“His Grace is waiting for you in his study, Lady Aria.”“Alright. Thank you for telling me, James.”Ariana immediately went to meet her grandfather after that. Incidentally, when Ariana was about to enter, Albert had just come out from her grandfa

Since early morning, Raoul had been up and prepared while waiting for Ariana to arrive. Even though a lot had happened yesterday, it was undeniable that Raoul was still looking forward to his first trip with Ariana. Imagining that there would be a time when he would be able to get out of the palace walls made Raoul very excited. Raoul knew in three days he would be out to go to the northern border. But the trip with Ariana will definitely be different because this trip will be his first date with Ariana.Yes, a date. Because from the books Raoul read, when a girl and a boy walked together to enjoy something, that trip could be called a date.While Raoul was waiting for Ariana's arrival on the terrace of his castle, his keen ear heard a rustling sound from the road that Ariana and Valencia used to walk. Raoul immediately stood up to greet Ariana's arrival. But his face turned wary, when he saw two young men in simple clothes.“Your Highness, it's us, Ariana and Valencia.”When Ariana sa

After finishing buying blankets for the beggars, Ariana immediately distributed the blankets while being assisted by Valencia and Prince Raoul. At first, Ariana was afraid that they would refuse her gift. But when the people thanked her with a smile, Ariana's heart finally calmed down as she smiled back at them. Not to forget, Ariana also gave them a fair few pieces of clothing and food to the beggars. The atmosphere in the narrow alley was suddenly lively, the happiness comparable to the festive atmosphere on the street where the hunting festival was being held.“Brother, I got this for you!”Ariana was surprised when a little girl touched her clothes and showed a small flower in her hand. Ariana remembers that the little girl was one of the children who got her gifts. The girl thought the young girl just wanted to thank her, so she immediately accepted the gift of flowers and smiled.“Thank you very much.”For the first time, Ariana felt she could finally be a good person. In the pa

As they were walking around, Raoul subconsciously stopped when he saw a weapon shop selling swords and various other weapons that looked pretty. His gaze was focused on a slender sword with an extremely sharp-looking blade. Although the sword Ariana had given him was no less beautiful and sharp, it was already starting to be too small for Raoul, who was in his growth period. Raoul had been taught how to judge the quality of a sword by Valencia. And he immediately knew that the beautiful-looking sword has excellent quality.Because Ariana was always watching Prince Raoul from time to time, the girl also glanced at the sword that the prince admired secretly. For some reason, she felt that the sword, with the sword her grandfather gave her, had similarities with that sword in various places. Ariana walked up to Raoul, then invited him to enter the shop and see the sword that the man wanted up close.“There's no need for that, Aria. My sword is still good enough to use.”When Raoul found

[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
