[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 61. Seperate Ways
“Lady Aria, I almost looked for you. All the troops are ready to depart. King Alexius will personally escort us out of the palace.”When Ariana came back, the girl was immediately approached by Valencia, who looked worried about her. Ariana quickly nodded. “Sorry to keep you all waiting. We're leaving now,” she informed her. With a special whistle, Ariana's horse ran on its own to approach the girl. Ariana patted her horse gently, before climbing onto her back smoothly.Before actually leaving, Ariana took the time to stare at the royal palace building for one last time. Her face was filled with complicated feelings, as she finally decided to refocus on the road in front of her. As a member of the Alison family, Ariana would automatically become the supreme commander of all forces. The girl split the line of troops to be at the forefront, while Valencia and Cornell lined up behind her, along with the Knight of Alison.With regular steps, they began to move out of the palace gates.

Throughout the day, thousands of troops led by Ariana moved to go to the southern border. They passed through mountains, valleys, and various other terrains to move from city to city. If they were lucky to arrive in the city before nightfall, numerous troops would have a roof to stay over before continuing. But if they couldn't get to the city before sunset, they could only be content with setting up tents in a relatively safer place.As someone who never goes too far from her territory, Ariana learns countless new things along the way. Each time they entered a different territory, Ariana discovered that their way of working was also different from Alison's territory or the capital city. Ariana remembered well the characteristics of each region she passed through. With her experience in leading a large army on this battlefield, she would not be able to feel if she only read books in her large library.This time, they were forced to rest again in the vast meadows. After building the te

Unlike the northern border, which was surrounded by forests and high hills, the southern border of the Sigmund Kingdom was a dry area filled with sand in summer. With the sun hanging directly overhead, the heat seemed to burn the people who were attending the procession of burning the bodies of the fallen soldiers. They were burned to avoid the spread of disease that might occur because there were too many bodies in one place. The flames rose higher and higher, as one by one the corpses began to scorch in the flames.Several soldiers began to cry as their comrades burned in the fire. No one blamed their tears because the troops who were asked to guard the southern border were already at their final limit.For a year, they were forced to fight on the front lines without any additional troops. Even though they were called the Sigmund Kingdom's best army, faced with an opponent no less powerful, their army was also starting to run out little by little. From thousands of soldiers, now onl

While everyone was risking their lives to save the lives of innocent people, Albert who had managed to take the attacked villagers to take refuge in Alard Town screamed in frustration as the townspeople didn't want to open the gates for the refugees who had just arrived. They kept saying that if they opened the gates of the fortress, they too would be attacked like those people.“Duke Andrew of the Alison Family has given you orders! Quickly open this gate, or we will break it down by force!”Albert shouted in frustration as the people still wouldn't change their minds. Since they had not yet finished with the mission of bringing the residents to a safe place, many soldiers died to buy time on the front lines.“Hah, Duke Andrew will die because he cares too much for insignificant people. But, I'm different. I won't help those people for the safety of those in this fortress!”“That damn Lord!”Cale, the older brother of Valencia who was in his father's army, was completely furious when

After they made a journey that took almost a month, the troops led by Ariana finally saw the mountain that became the beginning of the southern border. Ariana's face was full of excitement, as she immediately ordered her troops to go faster.Soon … Soon, Ariana will meet her grandfather. Ariana clearly couldn't wait to tell her grandfather so many things. She also had to break the news of how Prince Raoul finally had officially ascended as a crown prince without any disagreements. She had to convey how hard she worked for Alison's territory, or how much Ariana missed her grandfather.When Ariana imagined her grandfather's happy face when he heard the news, the girl subconsciously smiled a little too. But, her smile slowly faded, as she saw the silhouette of a man on horseback approaching her at an abnormal speed.“Everyone, get ready!”The atmosphere of the troops immediately tensed when Ariana shouted which was followed by the shouts of the captains of the troops. Everyone waited nerv

No one knew how long Ariana was there after the girl was too tired to cry or scream. Ariana just stood there, until the girl suddenly stood back up after she finished hugging Duke Andrew's body. Ariana's eyes filled with pain, as she returned to put on her helmet to hide her emotions from everyone else.From start to finish, Ariana was unaware that Cornell saw it all. The girl was still trying to look tough, as she returned to the battlefield calmly.“Lady Aria ….”When Ariana had just returned, the girl saw another familiar corpse among many corpses her army had begun to collect to receive a proper burial. While being surrounded by Cale and Valencia, who was crying loudly, Albert's corpse closed its eyes as if he were asleep. A round wound hit his neck precisely. From the wound, Ariana could guess that the leader of the knights died from being hit by an arrow in the neck.While they were all grieving, the gates of Alard Town which were originally tightly closed finally opened again.

Due to the sacrifices of Duke Andrew's troops that had bought time until Ariana's troops arrived, the Orvel Kingdom's troops seemed to have suffered heavy losses, so they didn't attack the area around Alard Town for a while. This was used by Ariana's troops to prepare to hold funerals for those who had fallen. Hundreds of citizens and soldiers were mobilized to build a mass cemetery. Everyone wears simple clothes, to honor the souls of those who have died.Being in the front row, Ariana watched as one by one, the bodies were placed in one place to be burned together. Even Duke Andrew, who was a war hero, had to be burned there because bringing him back to Alison's territory seemed to be impossible. The sound of crying echoed everywhere. Those who lost their families, lovers, and friends wept together in that place.Ariana also couldn't stop the tears from rolling down her face, when she saw the bodies of her grandfather and James being taken to get their final rest. Both of them are t

Emilio stared bored at his large bedroom window. Since childhood, he had a habit of gazing at the situation outside his palace through the window when he was feeling anxious. It felt like it had been a long time since Emilio had last seen Ariana. He missed his fiancé, the only love he had in this world.It's a shame that even though he's now a king, he's nothing more than his mother's other doll. Emilio never held any power in government. He could only say yes to all of his mother's requests, until the moment when she was satisfied and allowed him to see Ariana again.“Where are you, Ana … I miss you … Miss you so much ….”Emilio pressed his hand to the window as he didn't stop worrying about Ariana. Ever since his fiancé was poisoned by someone he didn't know, his mother had always said that Ariana was taken away from the territory of the Sigmund Kingdom for her healing. It was now the third year since Emilio couldn't see Ariana. The man couldn't help but worry when he didn't get any

[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.

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.

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.

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
