The journey to the northern border of the kingdom was very strenuous. Since the Sigmund Kingdom was one of the largest kingdoms on the continent, it took three months for the convoy of soldiers to reach the border. All the soldiers were quite exhausted from having to travel so far. But once they arrived, they had to immediately solve the problems that were at the border.Since several kingdoms experienced crop failure this year, the Sigmund Kingdom had indeed become the center of attention because it had abundant food ingredients due to its advanced farming methods. Numerous peace-loving kingdoms came to learn how to farm from the Sigmund Kingdom peacefully. But some arrogant kingdoms began to act by attacking the most vulnerable border areas.Not to mention that bandit attacks are also a common problem in border areas. Raoul had no time off at all, as he had to deal with affairs at the border as soon as he arrived.“Your Highness, we have found the headquarters of one of the bandit g

Within a few months, the snow finally melted and was replaced by a warm spring. The days at Alison's residence had been peaceful these past few months. Ariana spends her time learning to manage the Alison area, while her grandfather focuses on convincing some neutral group nobles to be wary of Queen Melisa and Crown Prince Emilio. Duke Andrew didn't simply ask the nobles to support Prince Raoul. The Duke only wished they could see Prince Raoul's abilities, and judge who really had more right to the throne.One thing that bothered Ariana a bit was that both Queen Melisa and Crown Prince Emilio had been too calm since Prince Raoul left. Judging by their personalities, Ariana was afraid that the two of them were planning to harm Prince Raoul at the border. Ariana had tried many times to ask Prince Raoul about the matter. But apart from the reports that there was an oddity among the bandits invading the border area, Raoul had never told her anything else.Honestly, it made Ariana worried

As the news that their kingdom was going to war had been heard everywhere, the royal palace was much busier than the other day when Duke Andrew finally arrived at the palace. In front of the other nobles, the Duke got an order to go to the southern border along with thousands of troops. The trumpets of war resounded throughout the kingdom. Everyone prayed with all their hearts that the people who were sent to the battlefield would return safely in the future.After the formal ceremony, Duke Andrew walked through the palace before he returned to Alison's residence to retrieve his own troops. The man came to the castle where Prince Raoul lived before, and found that King Alexius was sitting on one of the stairs with a sad face.Duke Andrew smiled slightly, as he sat next to the king.“Seeing Your Majesty in this place reminds me of how you always hid in this place whenever the previous king scolded you, Your Majesty.

As the distance between the northern border and the capital was very far, Prince Raoul only received the news of Duke Andrew's departure a few weeks later. After the prince learned that the war was starting from the south, the man intended to take all his soldiers to go to the southern border. With the strength he had cultivated for nearly three years, Prince Raoul felt he was more than capable of defending his kingdom and defeating the enemies of the Orvel Kingdom. Prince Raoul had been on the battlefield for a long time. He knew very well, that Duke Andrew would only send his life at death's door if he went to fight the Orvel Kingdom's army without his full strength.Duke Andrew is the only family Ariana has.

Duke Andrew's departure has caused turmoil among new supporters of Prince Raoul. Most of them were willing to take sides because Duke Alison convinced them. However, with Duke Andrew leaving for the battlefield, Duke Alison's position is in danger of falling when only his granddaughter is controlling the current power. Some are starting to worry about their choices. And to calm everyone's worries, someone will be sent to meet Ariana in person.Marquess Curtis of the Alodie family offered to represent the entire noble group and meet Ariana. Marquess Alodie's strength was only one step under Duke Alison, so it wasn't difficult for him to convince the other nobles.

His carriage was greeted by Jimmy, who had officially succeeded his father as a butler at Duke Alison's residence.“Welcome to Alison's house, Lord Alodie,” Jimmy said politely.

It was raining heavily that day in the Sigmund Kingdom. Since the rain had not stopped since early morning, Emilio could only stay in his palace since he woke up in the morning. The man who has now grown into a handsome seventeen-year-old man lightly touched the glass window of his room and then enjoyed the cold temperature that ran through his fingers that touched the cold surface.The crown prince didn't know where it all started to go wrong. But somehow, Emilio began to realize that his mother was busy with his own business, while his father locked himself in his study every day. He had no one to accompany him since his engagement with Ariana was simply annulled. Emilio could probably ask someone to come and accompany him. Yet out of all of them, none looked at him as sincerely as Ariana.Thinking about Ariana only made Emilio's feelings worse. Emilio thought, out of the many people who were only kind to him because he was a crown prince, he at least had the always loyal Ariana to

[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.

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.

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.
