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 36. The Ball (Part 1)
When the night of the ball came, Ariana was ready a few hours before the ball started. Even though Alison's area is right next to the capital, her trip may be delayed due to the festival. Since the ball was not a significant event, this time, Ariana did not come with her grandfather. Duke Andrew also felt that he was too old to enjoy such events. Plus, the man felt it was time for Ariana to start handling the affairs of the Dukedom on her own.In her family's carriage, Ariana went along with Valencia. Valencia's identity, as the daughter of the chief knight, allowed her to attend the party as a guest. Both of them wore beautiful clothes. Of course, because Valencia was Ariana's closest friend, she was no less charming in her outfit.Since the ball at the end of the hunting festival was an event that only happened once every three years, it was always held in the main palace of the king and queen. From a distance, Ariana could already see the splendor of the big party. In the past, she

After Valencia left, her two brothers actually walked over to meet Ariana. They were so handsome that even though Alison's family had a lot of hostility from other families at the moment, their charms still couldn't stop many girls from approaching them openly.“My Lady.”When they arrived before Ariana, the two of them lowered their heads slightly to greet Ariana. Ariana returned the greeting by nodding and smiling. Unlike their father and sister, Ariana knows that these two are a bit more relaxed and enjoy joking around with other people.“Did Lady Aria come alone to this party?” asked Luke the eldest brother. Ariana smiled a little. To these two knights, she couldn't lie too much for Valencia's own good.“Valencia is coming with me. But, she has her own business at this party, so I let her go,” Ariana replied.“Ah … She must have seen us and tried to run away again! This can't be allowed. How could she leave Lady Aria alone? Don't tell me … She met a man behind all of us!?”Cale as

As the music began to change, another couple began to come forward to the center of the hall to dance together. Marquess Curtis turned to look at Ariana, who was sitting leisurely enjoying the view, then stretched out his hand in front of the girl.“May I have the honor of asking you to dance, Ariana?” asked Marquess Curtis politely. Ariana was just about to accept the offer when another hand immediately grabbed her wrist.“My apologies, but Ariana will dance with me.”Out of nowhere, Prince Raoul was suddenly beside Ariana and holding the girl's hand. Marquess Curtis was slightly surprised by Raoul's sudden appearance. Not to mention that when he looked at him, Marquess Curtis could feel the hostility of the prince. However, since he was a gentle person by nature, Marquess Curtis just smiled and let Raoul invite Ariana to dance.“As you wish, Your Highness. Then, I see you later, Ariana.”Ariana nodded. “See you later,” she replied before Ariana was brought along to dance in the middl
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 39. Go to Northern Border
After the ball ended, the hunting festival was also officially over. The impromptu shops that were opened to celebrate the festival were dismantled again, while visitors from other kingdoms who had come to shop began to return to their kingdoms one by one.Since the results of this year's hunting festival were excellent, most people would rest for a day or two to restore their strength. But, Ariana didn't have time to rest, as she paid more attention to Prince Raoul in his last days in the capital. The girl came with various useful items for the prince, as well as telling him seriously what he had to remember while in the army. Only on the last day, Ariana came with military clothes and books when she visited Prince Raoul in his secluded castle.“Raoul, since you were immediately appointed as General by His Majesty, you should read plenty of military tactics books to learn how to lead an army. I also heard that the weather there is colder than in the capital and the surrounding area.

[Dear Prince Raoul.It's been three months since you left to guard the Northern Border. Last time, you said that you were still on your way to reach the border. Now, are you there yet? In the capital and surrounding areas, snow has begun to fall, causing temperatures to grow colder. I hope you made it there because the journey must have been tough after the snow started earlier this year.After you left, neither Queen Melisa nor Crown Prince Emilio did anything suspicious. But I hope it's not the calm before the storm. Take care, Raoul. Please don't easily trust strangers there.As always, we are here to pray for your safety.Ariana.]After Ariana finished reading the letter she was about to send, the girl nodded in satisfaction and then sealed the letter with her family seal. Ariana handed the letter to one of the maids so that it could be immediately sent to Prince Raoul, who was on his way to reach the northern border.After she was done with her routine of contacting Raoul once a
