[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 78. In The Prison
“ … 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

It was getting late when Emilio finally returned to his room after the party. Unaccompanied by anyone, the man walked down the quiet palace. Just when he had arrived at his residence, Emilio suddenly stopped in front of the door. Emilio who previously looked a little drunk slowly showed a smile. The king took his seat before he stared at the shadow lurking in the darkness.“How long are you going to stand there? That little trick of yours won't work on me, by the way.”“ … Excellent, Your Majesty. This is the first time I met a person who can recognize my existence. Ah, this may also be the first time for me, to be directly summoned by a king.”From behind the shadows, a masked man appears in mysterious-looking clothes. Emilio looked at the man with a smile. In his old life, he had a fairly close relationship with the man because Emilio ordered him to help him kill the nobles who betrayed him. For him, who was used to the man's presence, a small trick would be exposed by Emilio immedi
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 83. Letter From Emilio
On top of the solid fortress walls, Ariana stood and gazed out at the vast horizon. After their relentless fight, they finally had a chance to rest again. Since yesterday, the enemy no longer appeared and tried to break through their last defense. The empty land that was originally a battlefield, looks more lonely and quiet now. The corpses of the fallen soldiers had also been cleaned up so that Ariana could only see the bloodstains that remained on the empty land in front of her.When Ariana saw the red color that colored the vast land, her vision involuntarily looked a little blurry. Among all the bloodstains, there was the blood of the Sigmund Kingdom soldiers who died under her orders. No matter how hard Ariana tried to protect everyone, she would still lose some great soldiers in the end. To those who had put their trust in Ariana, the girl could only repay their sacrifice with a false victory. So far, they have only been able to survive, without being able to strike back at the
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 84. Ariana's Order
After everyone left the room, Ariana tried hard to calm her emotions again. From what she knows, Prince Raoul didn't seem to have been caught until now. As long as Prince Raoul wasn't caught, Ariana was sure things weren't over yet. Information regarding Prince Raoul's betrayal was also still unclear. Ariana knew she needed further details if she were to make any further plans.For the moment, Ariana abandoned that thought to look at the sealed letter she just got. With the death of King Alexius, Ariana was pretty sure it was Emilio who had sent the letter. The girl looked at the letter in deep thought. In the end, she had to open the letter, if he wanted to get any more information about their situation.After various considerations, Ariana finally opened the seal of the letter. When it opened, Ariana saw the familiar writing she still remembered from her previous life. Ariana's brows furrowed deeply, as she started reading the letter with a serious face.[To my one and only, Ariana.
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 85. Back to The Capital
Ariana rubbed her eyes a few times as she got up and stood on top of an endless pool of blood. No matter where Ariana looked, she only saw red all over the place. An uneasy feeling gripped her heart, as the girl tried to move from her still position.“Ugh!”Ariana was just about to take a step, and she already fell because something grabbed one of her legs. When Ariana looked back, she saw that it was someone's hand that was holding her back. Fear gripped the girl when she saw that the one who had just grabbed her leg was her grandfather, who had died on the battlefield.“Aria, where do you want to go? Our place is here. No matter what you do, reality won't change that easily. Look, that effort of yours has wasted countless innocent lives once again.”When Ariana followed the direction her grandfather pointed, she saw mountains of corpses of soldiers who had fallen on the battlefield. Among them, Ariana could even see some people she knew. Tears started to roll down the girl's cheeks,

[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

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

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
