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
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
“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,
In the Sigmund Kingdom, there were high mountains that bordered the Sigmund Kingdom's inner region with the outer region. Ever since the Sigmund Kingdom was formed, the territory was rarely entered by humans due to its unpredictable terrain. Most people had to take a detour to get to the southern border, just like Ariana and her army had done. But for those who want to avoid the checkpoints to go to the southern border, they could only risk their lives and take the mountain path.Raoul's group, who had now become fugitives, had no other choice but to enter the dangerous territory. Led by Captain Allen, they continued through the forest, filled with various strange animals and plants. At first, both Prince Raoul and Princess Elle trembled slightly when they saw the strange ecosystem that existed in the mountains. But when Captain Allen made sure that he knew the path of the deadly mountains very well, they finally felt a little calmer and chose to trust the man.If you counted from the
Several days had passed since Cornell promised he would bring Valencia home. However, until now, the people of Alard Town had not heard any news from that man anymore. They also didn't hear any news about Ariana, which made everyone start to doubt their safety.When Cale first heard someone speak that neither Valencia nor Cornell might have survived their journey, Cale returned their speaking with a well-deserved punch. But, as time passed, Cale also started to lose his confidence. Even if they were forced to hide somewhere, they should have a way to contact the people in Alard Town. However, until now, they had not heard any more news. Slowly, Cale started to feel hopeless, and angry at his thoughts of not being able to believe in either Valencia or Cornell's abilities.But as the new squad leader, he couldn't show the slightest bit of weakness in front of the others. Not to mention, he also shouldn't make his brother worry in the middle of this battlefield. Luke still needs a lot of
After all these weeks the palace had to deal with the unruly King Emilio, the place finally found some peace when Emilio finally returned with the unconscious Ariana in the king's luxurious horse carriage. Emilio didn't hesitate at all as he took Ariana to his room, while the royal doctor and several of his assistants immediately followed to carry out follow-up examinations on Ariana.Maybe because Ariana didn't just suffer physical injuries, even the royal doctors had a hard time getting Ariana to come to her senses, no matter how hard they tried. Even if all her wounds had been treated properly, perhaps due to stress and the previous unsterilized wound, the royal doctor had to work to the death just to keep Ariana's condition stable.On various occasions, Ariana is seen opening her eyes and occasionally delirious. However, she never really woke up and continued to be in a dangerous state during their journey. Emilio had no idea how nervous everyone was because of Ariana's bad state.
The people in the palace thought Emilio would feel better if Ariana came back to her senses. After all, now everyone knew that King Emilio highly valued Ariana. The man was even willing to lock up his mother in a secluded castle, just because she had tried to harm Ariana before.But their guess was wrong, as Emilio looked worse after Ariana regained consciousness and was getting better. On the first day Ariana finally wakes up, the two are seen talking together before Emilio suddenly comes out of the room with a scary face. Emilio destroys anything in his path until the man finally tired himself and stops doing whatever he wants.Meanwhile, Ariana, who was left in the room was no less strange. The girl never intended to do anything about Emilio's unstable condition. Ariana just kept quiet in her room and didn't do anything because Emilio had made an order forbidding Ariana to come out of her room.With the deteriorating relationship of the person who was expected to control Emilio's e
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. Neither of them wanted to separate the two after the terrible events they went through. Ho
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. The badly injured Ariana was caught in the middle of the chaos. She could hear someone walking over and calling her name. Ariana smiled a little. There was no mistaking it, this person who was approaching her was the same person who shot dead the masked man who tried to kill her.Although Ariana's eyes were already heavy when Emilio was able to app
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
The robbery that took place in the capital was among the most shocking incidents for the police, including the most embarrassing incident for them. An elite apartment complex that should have the highest security was easily broken into. And the police who were expected to arrive quickly was, in fact, too late to rescue the hostages.The effect of the incident was so great that many people started gathering around the apartment complex to see how the situation was progressing. The public saw how the police were under pressure, especially when the girlfriend of the only son of a business magnate was also used as a hostage this time.With the help of Alister and Melisa who immediately mobilized their forces, within an hour after Ariana was kidnapped, the elites of their country had gathered to track down the robbers. Alister's help had made the work of the capital's police force easier. With good cooperation, they soon got a lead on where the robbers were taking the hostage.At first, Em
Ever since Emilio finished his group work, the young man hadn't stopped checking his phone with a furrowed brow. It was unusual for Ariana to ignore his calls like this. 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. The young man started to feel something was wrong, so he finally asked Ian to give him the phone number of the bodyguard who was asked to guard Ariana at her house.[The number you have reached, cannot be reached.]Emilio grew impatient when he didn't get a positive answer from the people around Ariana. The young man called all the numbers he knew. But in the end, only Aunt May answered and said that she had returned to her own home since the sun had set."Ian, speed up our journey home. Then, tell Father that I can't get in touch with whoever is in charge of looking after Ariana at home.""Yes, Young
