[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 86. I'm Sorry
After Ariana's departure, the forts that had always been busy preparing for war finally had their time to rest. Valencia, who temporarily lost her job to guard Ariana, could only take care of her brother in her spare time. However, even if she was speaking with someone, Valencia would still daydream from time to time. Her attitude, of course, made many people worry about her. Because they knew, Valencia must be sad that Ariana dismissed her and left her at the border.“Valencia, Lady Aria will definitely be fine. We have also been given an important order by Lady Aria. All we can do now is do our best and don't disappoint Lady Aria again.”“I didn't mean to disappoint her, Brother Cale. I just-”Valencia muttered in frustration as Cale attempted to comfort her. No one understood why she was being so stubborn this time. Even Ariana, who she thought would understand, thoroughly refused to listen to her reasoning this time.For some reason, Valencia had a bad feeling ever since Ariana sa

A week had passed since Ariana began her journey together with Duke Morgan and the others. Since the treaty matter was urgent, if they didn't need to rest, the group continued to walk through the various terrains of the Sigmund Kingdom. Ariana gauged that if they maintained their current pace, in another two weeks they might arrive in the capital.Throughout their journey, neither Ariana nor Duke Morgan would speak if what they had to talk about wasn't significant. Ariana only spoke whenever she had to arrange accommodation for Duke Morgan, while Duke Morgan only spoke to Ariana whenever he had to answer the girl's words. The soldiers following the two were no less wary of each other. It's unfortunate to see two kingdoms that used to have good relations have to be enemies because of this war.But recently, Ariana sensed that something was different about their group. The two factions that usually can't unite began to be seen talking to each other without Ariana knowing. Such developmen

After Valencia fled the southern border, the woman spent her days catching up with Ariana's group. If her horse wasn't completely exhausted, Valencia would continue to race day and night. The woman had no intention of resting before she managed to catch up to Ariana's group, who had already left first.Four days since Ariana left, Valencia finally managed to find Ariana's group. But fearing that her lady would be angry because she had disobeyed orders, Valencia could only hide secretly while continuing to observe Ariana's group after that. When Valencia realized she could hide well, the woman secretly thanked Cornell for teaching her such a great sneaking technique. For the next three days, neither Ariana nor the others noticed that Valencia was following them from a distance. Valencia also stopped when Ariana stopped and moved along as the group resumed their journey.On the seventh day, Valencia's uneasy feeling returned, as she had felt a little better since she had seen Ariana agai

“What is this ….”Maybe because Duke Morgan's group didn't hear back from the group tasked with getting rid of Ariana until morning came, they finally split up to look for the group's whereabouts. But what they find is a fight that kills everyone tasked with getting rid of Ariana. Ariana's whereabouts can't be found anywhere. But from the traces of blood that could be seen from the swords of the dead, they could guess that Ariana had not only suffered minor injuries after fighting ten soldiers alone.“Your Highness, should we look for the girl's whereabouts first?”Duke Morgan snorted in disdain when he heard the advice of one of the soldiers. Due to an unexpected development of plans, he was forced to come to the Sigmund Kingdom himself to solve the problem that Queen Melisa made. His niece who should have been killed after being captured is still alive and is being taken away by another prince who is also eyeing the throne of the Kingdom of Sigmund. If they didn't get rid of Princes

One week later, Duke Morgan's entourage finally arrived in the capital. Due to the current tense situation in the two kingdoms, the duke's security was further tightened by sending royal troops to escort the man safely to the royal palace. The process is also done quietly. No one knew that the cavalry that was passing through the streets of the capital was Duke Morgan's entourage of the Orvel Kingdom.As soon as the group arrived in the capital, Emilio as king was immediately notified by Marquis Daedalus, who was now acting as Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sigmund. Emilio's eyes, which looked bored from waiting for Ariana to arrive, were miraculously excited only for that day. Emilio didn't even protest at all when the servants in the palace started dressing him up in fancy clothes.When Emilio learned that Duke Morgan's entourage had arrived at the palace, the king immediately left all his affairs to welcome the arrival of Ariana, whom he had missed so much. But his smile slowly f
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 91. It's Your Fault
Ignoring the uproar caused by his actions, Emilio immediately sent hundreds of troops to search for Ariana's whereabouts, where she was last seen. Of the ten soldiers who returned to the capital of the Sigmund Kingdom, the one left as a guide was forced to return through the long journey without any rest. The search team was not allowed to rest until they found Ariana. But they couldn't protest because Emilio himself had been searching with them tirelessly.Ignoring the risk of threats that arise when Emilio is outside the palace, the king also goes to look for Ariana in the area outside the capital. Nothing could stop the king from leaving, as Emilio continued to drag his sword and didn't hesitate to slash down anyone who tried to get in his way.Now, the people finally found out that they had chosen the wrong king. It had not been a year of Emilio's reign, and the palace had been stained with bloodshed. The nobles who were originally proud of supporting Emilio also began to regret t
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 92. Searching For You
“Master Luke, Master Cale, Valencia has disappeared!”In the early morning, Cornell had come to the Valencia brothers' room with a panicked face. The man never thought, their beautiful night would end with this kind of farewell. Valencia had even left a letter for him. The woman said that she was sorry for choosing Ariana over Cornell, and would rather ignore orders just to confirm her bad feelings.It was only after receiving the letter that Cornell finally understood how bad it was to worry about someone so important to them. Cornell couldn't wait to catch up with Valencia before she went too far. But with his common sense, he preferred to report to Luke and Cale first.Just like Cornell, the expressions of the Valencia brothers also changed when they heard Cornell's words. Luke had tended to be calmer and thought in silence since losing his leg. Cale however, the man immediately got up and scolded his sister who was no longer around.“That child! I told her that we must believe in

“Hey, hey, take it easy. I won't hurt you.”Learning from how to tame his horse, Cornell gently stroked the horse when it tried to struggle because Cornell was holding the saddle. Cornell waited until the horse was completely calm first before he saw the state of the horse.From the start, Cornell had sensed something was wrong with the horse. But when Cornell looked down, he could hardly believe someone had left a trap there. One of the horse's legs was hit by the trap, so he could no longer go anywhere and turned wary of anyone who approached him.When Cornell looked at the horse's neck, he actually found the Alison family's knightly crest there. The horse that Cornell had just found did belong to Valencia. But even after Cornell searched in various directions, he couldn't find the whereabouts of the person who was supposed to be riding the horse.Cornell began to feel bad when he discovered the fact that the horse had been alone all this time. After all, under normal circumstances,

[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.

"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
