Queen Melisa looked restless again when she finally finished saying what she needed to say. If she recalled Emilio's usual nature, the prince would feel all the information he had just heard was too shocking to believe. However, Emilio, who was in front of her, nodded calmly, before suddenly smiling triumphantly.“This way, my plan is clear, Mother,” said Emilio suddenly. The man moved closer to his mother before he patted her delicate hand once.“One of Mother's wishes, I will grant it now. Do you have poison that can speed up the heart rhythm? I need it if I want to kill King Alexius. Then … I also want you to contact Mother's acquaintances in the Orvel Kingdom, to make up the story that Prince Raoul, who most likely kidnapped Princess Elle. Perverting the facts is Mother's specialty, isn't it?”Queen Melisa was very surprised when Emilio casually said that he was going to kill King Alexius. The queen was too focused on the first plan, so she didn't pay much attention to the next pl

After Emilio finished with his business, the man stared at the corpse of King Alexius before sighing tiredly. The prince opened the door out of King Alexius' study, to see that there was only Teresa in the place.“He's dead. We'll move on to the next plan,” Emilio informed her. His eyebrows are slightly raised when he saw that Teresa had fallen silent when the maid saw that King Alexius really wasn't breathing anymore. However, in the next moment, the maid immediately turned to nod at Emilio.“I have paralyzed all eyewitnesses, Your Highness. You may return to your palace after this. From here on, Her Majesty and I will handle the situation.”Emilio nodded lightly before he slipped away from the place. Because Emilio was a king in his past life, the man knew secret passages that no one but kings knew. To avoid suspicion, the man departed and returned to his palace using the secret passage. The man had just arrived at his palace when the sound of the bell echoed throughout the palace.
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 76. Daedalus Territory
“Your Highness, we will soon enter the Daedalus territory.”Raoul heaved a sigh of relief when they finally arrived at the Daedalus territory, which was located at the outermost lane of the road leading to the capital's territory. During these few days, as they continued to move quickly to catch up with time, they had been forced to sleep on the ground as their bed. For Prince Raoul and the other soldiers, the trip might not be troublesome at all. But this time they brought Princess Elle, who was already looking exhausted from trying so hard to keep up with their recent pace.Even though Raoul did want to reach the capital as soon as possible, the man didn't want to torture Princess Elle any more than this. Raoul was afraid to cause trouble if Princess Elle got sick in his protection. After all, they couldn't bring Princess Elle back to her sick state.As soon as possible, they had to find a suitable city so that Princess Elle could rest and recharge her energy.“Alright. Let's rest in

Knock knockPrincess Elle who was just about to close her eyes woke up again when she heard a knock on the door. At first, the girl thought the one who had just arrived was Prince Raoul. But when she didn't hear the sound of someone who's knocking on her door, Princess Elle immediately stepped back while slowly putting on her outer clothes again.“Princess Elle, we have come to pick you up.”Princess Elle's hair stood on end when she heard a strange voice from outside her room. Princess Elle knew that if Prince Raoul's group had come to her, they would definitely not say so. The girl's body trembled as she thought there was a possibility that the person who wanted her to die had caught up with her. Princess Elle had no idea where Prince Raoul was when she was in danger. However, the girl knew she had to run away if she wanted to live.“Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for us. We are a guard sent by His Majesty the King to save you. After this, we promise to take you to

“ … Ness!”“ … Highness!”“Your Highness!”Raoul slowly opened his eyes again once Captain Allen's voice echoed in his ears. The man felt something odd, as he couldn't move his arms or legs. Slowly, his consciousness returned, as he heard Captain Allen's voice once again.“Your Highness, please come to your senses!”This time, Raoul's eyes actually opened as he stared dazedly at the surrounding area. The last thing Raoul remembered was the moment he realized something was wrong and rushed to secure Princess Elle. However, Raoul only managed to take a few steps, before a feeling of dizziness made him fall unconscious. Now, when he woke up, the prince could already guess he was locked up in prison from the place and the handcuffs that bound his hands and feet. Raoul saw that of all the members of his group that were there, only Captain Allen had fully regained his senses.“Is this an enemy attack?” asked Raoul in a hoarse voice. Seeing that Raoul was finally able to speak, Captain Allen

“Impossible … How could His Majesty die so suddenly ….”After the departure of Marquis Daedalus, the atmosphere in the prison was very gloomy, as everyone was still too shocked by the news they only learned today. The newly awakened soldiers were no less saddened when they found out that they would die as traitors once they were sent to the capital. Everyone was in a chaotic mood, including Raoul, who was silent while bending his knees.“Your Highness, you must flee from this place. In my opinion, the death of King Alexius and the sending of Lady Ariana to the battlefield with Duke Andrew are not true at all. Prince Emilio and Queen Melisa must have something to do with this change. After all, this incident happened after King Alexius decided to appoint you as crown prince.”“I know.”Beyond Captain Allen's expectations, Prince Raoul was actually willing to answer his words, even with a muffled voice. Among all the people, the one who was hit the hardest right now was, of course, Prin
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 80. Escaped From The Prison
The moon had already risen when Raoul and the others finally got out of prison. In that desolate place, even the sound of insects could be heard clearly. Raoul and the others had to walk with extreme caution, if they were to avoid unnecessary attention.After they were finally able to see the sky again, Princess Elle who was responsible for leading the way pointed at a bush that was tall enough to let him know that she was hiding a guard who had fainted in that place. Presently, the only ones who's carrying a sword were Princess Elle and Prince Raoul. Captain Allen and the soldiers who had fled with them also still needed weapons to defend themselves at this time.After they found the prison guard, Captain Allen immediately moved quickly to retrieve the sword and knife that were on the guard's waist. The captain of the army shared the loot with his men. They were really lucky because so far, no one had discovered that they had escaped from prison.“We need to get out of here quickly.
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 81. Little Warning
“Long live His Majesty, King Emilio!”Emilio smiled lightly as he finally returned to the last point in his previous life. As Emilio sat on the king's seat, he finally got a good look at the expressions of the people below him. The people supporting him clearly had happy expressions on their faces. While those who still objected, but lost the election, had crumpled expressions on their faces.From his seat, which was the tallest of all, Emilio finally had the feeling that he had everything under control. This time, he succeeded in ascending the throne without his mother's influence. The nobles weren't the ones who had the most influence from the change in status, either. He stood in that spot, purely on his strength.Initially, some people still doubted the abilities of someone who had just reached adulthood like Emilio. But unexpectedly, Emilio's ability in both dealing with his father's death and royal matters was so good that it exceeded people's expectations. Emilio even managed 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

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. 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.

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
