[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 100. Marquess Daedalus' Plan
Emilio lightly massaged his forehead when he got the income and expense report from the Sigmund Kingdom's Minister of Finance. To please the nobles so that Emilio's position was safe in the past, Queen Melisa appointed corrupt officials who were easy to manage as important government officials. As a result, the kingdom's income continued to dwindle while its expenses were enormous. Emilio gets a report that some nobles are asking for the kingdom's help to rebuild their territory. But when Emilio went out to look for Ariana, he found no progress in the territories the nobles were referring to.Emilio pounded his desk hard. He knew that he had been toyed with again, even if he had tried his best in this life.“Your Majesty, is there something wrong?”Marquess Daedalus as the new prime minister asked when his king suddenly thumped the table loudly. But his expression soon broke, as Emilio threw the stack of report papers straight into Marquess Daedalus' face.“What did you say is wrong?!

When night fell, Ariana, who had been sleeping all afternoon, finally woke up and found that Emilio seemed to have visited her room as usual. Next to her bed, Ariana could see a stool set facing her. Ariana breathed a sigh of relief. At least she was lucky, Emilio had returned to his room when she finally woke up.Seeing the moon that had already risen above her head, Ariana hastily got up from her sleeping position. If what Carla said in her letter was true, the woman would infiltrate her room after midnight. Even so, Ariana still wondered how Carla had managed to infiltrate when the door was always guarded by two royal knights, while the window connecting Ariana's room to the balcony was always locked in the absence of Emilio. Ariana was involuntarily in a tense position as she thought that. Even though she did need to meet someone to discuss the current situation, Ariana still didn't want Carla to risk her life just so they could communicate inside the palace.Ariana waited a long

Mornings in the palace are always filled with busy servants who work hard. No matter where one looked, one would see servants busy doing their respective duties.At the beginning of every month, a freight carriage would come to the palace to carry orders made by the palace people. From food, cloth, to souvenirs, everything arrives at the palace at the beginning of each month. The schedule naturally kept all the maids busier than usual, until when Carla offered to help, none of the servants refused her offer.Just like the others, Carla helped the servants to secure the newly arrived items. But while working, Carla's eyes couldn't stop looking around her. The woman made sure no one saw her first before she approached Greta, who was already at their rendezvous point.“Aunt Carla!”Growing up in a healthy environment made Greta grow up to be a bright and smart girl. The girl looked very relaxed, as she approached Carla and immediately hugged her tightly.“I miss you, Auntie! Are you all

If I may ask, how did you know Ariana?”Although Marquis Curtis maintained his politeness, the man certainly couldn't help but be suspicious when someone suddenly came to his residence to talk about Ariana. It could be, at this moment, Marqu

No one knows for sure when the rumors started. But quickly, the news that King Emilio is a cold-blooded man who will kill anyone who stands in his way spreads in society. Concerning Emilio, who had turned the capital into hell under his leadership when he was still a prince, people began to doubt that having Emilio as their king was the right choice.Even though people's opinions wouldn't change the fact that Emilio remained their king, a king would still lose his power if the people didn't support him anymore. The news grew further and further until the rarely mentioned name of Prince Raoul rose to the surface again.When people recalled how King Emilio had behaved, some people began to feel that the news that Prince Raoul betrayed his kingdom was also not true. After all, compared to King Emilio who never took to the streets or made any major changes, the name of Prince Raoul who for years protected the kingdom on the northern border was more well-known to the public. Northerners des

Elsewhere, the pressing situation made Prince Raoul's group journey move without much rest. In just a few weeks, they were finally in the capital of the Orvel Kingdom. Looking at a familiar place, Princess Elle felt her eyes begin to feel hot. No one can describe how much the girl misses her homeland. After years of not being able to see the capital where she grew up, Princess Elle saw that a lot had changed in that place.“Your Highness, I have conveyed your arrival to His Majesty the King. At this time, His Majesty may be waiting in front of the palace to welcome you.”Princess Elle wiped her tears and nodded. Of course, more than anything else, Princess Elle missed her father's warm embrace the most.“Let's go back soon,” whispered Princess Elle. They all immediately put on large hoods that would cover their entire faces, before the group began to enter the packed capital of the Orvel Kingdom.When Prince Raoul saw the capital of the Orvel Kingdom with his eyes, the man couldn't sto

“Ana, can you see? The flowers you love are already blooming. I planted them myself this time. I actually can't believe that just by looking at you, I can finally grow my own flower garden.”On a sunny day, Emilio felt that it was the perfect time to take Ariana out for a walk. The man carried Ariana, and sat her in the small gazebo in Emilio's garden. The man's face was filled with a sad feeling, as he didn't get any reaction from Ariana.“Since I got rid of everyone who hated you, you are now free to play in the palace as you wish, Ana. I will also accompany you whenever you want. From now on, let's assume that we are the only ones left in this world.”Emilio's expression broke slightly when he saw Ariana's hand hurt just because he held it. Even if Emilio had tried to take care of her carefully, Ariana's body was still changing over time. The cold hand slowly rotted away as time passed. Ariana, who became the most beautiful woman in Emilio's eyes, slowly lost her skin and flesh due

King Bernard was working quickly to prepare his army, which would return with Prince Raoul to the capital of Sigmund Kingdom. In just three days, Prince Raoul was finally ready to return to his kingdom. The man looked at the line of troops in front of him, before turning to look at King Bernard and Princess Elle, who escorted him off.“I will never forget your kindness, Your Majesty. After I successfully take over the kingdom, I hope that the two kingdoms can have a good relationship again.”King Bernard smiled after hearing Prince Raoul's words. “Of course. Our relationship may have been bad because of the war. The lives lost will never come back, either. But from this mistake, I want to learn to think more critically as a leader. Prince Raoul, I will wait for the moment when the two kingdoms can mutually help each other again like before,” he said.“Please be careful on the road, Raoul. I hope everything goes well for you.”Although Princess Elle was still worried about Prince Raoul

[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.

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

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.
