[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 40. Winter is Coming
[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

After returning from the training school she had built, Ariana didn't go straight home, as she chose to tour around the capital first. Since she was busy with Alison's family matters, Ariana rarely had the chance to come to the capital again. The girl wanted to know how the capital was currently doing, as well as to hear the latest gossip about the palace that could be heard in the capital's taverns.For their convenience, Ariana suggested that they just walk to enjoy the atmosphere in the capital city. Ariana's gaze fell on the notice board in the town square, which was unusually swarmed by many people when she came.“What is going on over there?” asked Ariana curiously. Seeing a noble like Ariana's interest in the bulletin board, people immediately stepped aside to make way for Ariana.Even though Ariana didn't really like being treated special, the girl couldn't ask them to stop, so all she could do was thank them. Ariana read the sentence on the bulletin board with raised eyebrows

As Ariana was about to enter the area within the arena when she was stopped by two burly guards whose bodies were twice the size of Valencia's. Both of them were carrying weapons and had scary faces until Valencia unknowingly grabbed the hilt of her sword in an alert pose.“Tell your boss that Ariana from Alison wants to talk to him.”Unlike Valencia, Ariana was very calm when she faced the two giants. One thing she knew from a place like this, this arena was also used to sell slaves as fighters for noble families. If she carried her surname, it was unlikely that the person in charge would ignore her. Even though her family is currently disliked by most nobles, her status as the only granddaughter of a duke still makes Ariana feared by many. Moreover, the size of the person in charge was only a Baron, so he definitely wouldn't refuse any of Ariana's orders.“Please come in.”Sure enough. When one of the guards returned, he immediately allowed Ariana and Valencia to enter the area. As

While they were out, their group met the skinny girl that Ariana had previously bought. As the girl was forced to stand in front of the exit, her already pale lips turned blue from the cold. Ariana immediately took off her coat in a hurry. With her own hands, Ariana quickly put the poor girl on the coat she had just taken off. Ariana was a little pushy as the girl vehemently refused. If it was for the sake of goodness, Ariana had absolutely no hesitation in acting decisively on the girl.“I'd be mad if you took that coat off. Then Valencia, can we first stop by the boutique to get a new coat? Cornell must be cold too if he's only wearing light clothes in this cold weather.”Valencia nodded in response. “As you wish, My Lady. As for the Young Lady … Please temporarily use my coat. You and the others can enter the horse carriage first, Lady Aria. If I'm not mistaken, I saw a boutique not far from this place. Please wait for me when I buy coats for the others.”“Okay,” said Ariana. Helpe

As soon as they returned home, Ariana was immediately greeted by Jimmy, who was waiting for her at the door. After Ariana told him the situation, Jimmy immediately ordered the maids to prepare two new rooms, new clothes, and hot water as well. Plus, Jimmy also asked someone to call the doctor to check both of them.With Jimmy at home, Ariana knew she didn't have to worry about the two of them lacking anything as long as she was busy. The girl smiled slightly when she saw that Carla seemed to be amazed by her house, while Cornell still tried to look unconcerned, even though his eyes occasionally looked curiously at his new surroundings.“For now, you can follow Jimmy to take a shower while waiting for the doctor. Jimmy and his father, James, are the butlers in this house. Depending on the situation, the two will swap places to serve as butlers,” Ariana informed. Since she still had work to do, the girl had to return to work as soon as she arrived. Ariana let out a tired breath. Too bad

After finishing handing Cornell and Carla to Jimmy's care, Ariana returned to focus on completing the tasks assigned to her. The girl secretly smiled, when she saw Valencia was still frowning from time to time. Without needing to be told, Ariana actually already knows the reason Valencia has been dissatisfied ever since. Yet, Ariana decided to keep quiet because getting her work done was more important than explaining things to Valencia right now.The next few hours were spent with just Valencia on guard and Ariana doing her job. Ariana's study room was so quiet that a knocking sound caught their attention.“Lady Aria, the doctor who was summoned, has arrived. I apologize, but you must be examined first.”Valencia silently stared at Ariana as Jimmy spoke outside the room. Turns out it wasn't just her, but Jimmy also noticed that Ariana had bruises on her neck. Incidentally, Ariana's assignment had just finished when Jimmy arrived. The girl allowed the doctor to come in with Jimmy to e

The morning is the perfect time for Valencia to practice swordsmanship. Apart from the fact that in the morning she didn't need to take care of the sleeping Ariana, most of the knights also hadn't gathered in the morning, so she could freely use the training ground as she pleased. With only her training clothes, Valencia began to train alone. The woman warmed up, then ran around Alison's residence when it wasn't snowing too hard.Usually, Valencia is very focused when the woman has started her morning training. But this time, Valencia subconsciously stopped when she saw a familiar figure engrossed in gathering snow with a shovel in his hand. When Valencia recalled the sadistic fight the man had yesterday, she couldn't help but feel Cornell was not suited to his current task.Ariana has said that Cornell will be the gardener at Alison's residence to pay off her debt to Ariana. But looking at his current job, Valencia could already guess that Jimmy still had a grudge against Cornell to p
Last Updated : 2022-10-01[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 47. Indebted From The Previous Life
Regarding Ariana's decision to see Cornell and Carla first before doing anything else, neither James nor Valencia wanted to say anything about it. Although it didn't seem necessary for the busy Ariana to visit regular servants, the two of them still respected the girl's decision.As usual, James said goodbye to watching Ariana in the shadows. Only Ariana and Valencia, who walked down the hall of the Alison family residence to meet the sick Carla first.Elsewhere, Carla, who had just finished eating breakfast and taking her medicine, was pensive as she still couldn't believe her life had suddenly changed drastically because of the luck she had gotten. In her new place, no one called her a slave or beat her, even though she did nothing wrong. The feeling of being treated like a human was a foreign feeling to her. Her new master even gave her a very meaningful name. Carla, a beautiful name that is now her new name.The owner always said that she was worthless. Even a pet is worth more th

[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 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.
