“Your Majesty, please allow me to go inside now.”Because Melisa did not get a reply, the woman immediately opened the door to her husband's room without permission, when she came to her husband's room. As soon as Queen Melisa went inside, she could see that King Alexius lying on his bed with a very pale face. His breath hitched. When the man saw Queen Melisa, who had just entered his room, his unfocused eyes showed a slightly sad look on his face.From the start of their marriage, Queen Melisa would not have entered King Alexius' chambers, if she had no urgent business. And her arrival this time, King Alexius had already guessed it in his mind.“Your Majesty, you look unwell today.”After seeing her husband's plight, Queen Melisa smiled as she took her place next to her husband's violently shaking body. Her hand gently brushed King Alexius' hair, which was wet with sweat, before she pulled her hand again, and stared at her husband with a cold gaze.“This is what will happen if you tr

However, because Ariana never wanted to listen to her grandfather's words in the past, the beautiful clothes were left in the wardrobe without ever being worn even once.

14. I'll Do What I Can

“My Lady, please don't run too far from us!”Ignoring the screams of the maids and knights who were tasked to guarding her, Ariana walked briskly through the vast surroundings of the palace. Her little feet cut through the large trees that surrounded the palace. Like a princess, Ariana is very familiar with the ins and outs of the palace. She purposely made it difficult for the maid and knights to chase after her, and sneaked to arrive at a large castle hidden in the thick of the trees.“Mr. Fairy, I came to see you again today!”With great difficulty, Ariana tried to knock on the castle door, which was too big for herself. Even though she didn't get an answer to her call right away, the girl didn't stop calling while knocking on the big door. Ariana called out several times, until a boy came out from the large castle.“You came again.”Ariana smiled widely as she looked at the figure of the boy in front of her. When the boy had opened the castle door, Ariana immediately went inside t

15. Letter From The Palace

The sound of clashing swords rang out from inside the special training room where Ariana and Valencia were training. Even though Ariana was still having a hard time keeping up with Albert's training, which didn't give the girl the slightest leeway, at least she was able to swing her sword properly after a few weeks of hard work. Her lessons in the academic field are also no less fluent. Ariana learned a lot when she wanted to be a good queen in the past. Relearning everything now, is just like reviewing what Ariana has understood so far.“Stop!”Valencia's sword stopped right near Ariana's neck when the girl was caught off guard in the middle of her training. The two of them lowered their swords again after hearing Albert's instructions. Ariana was panting when she finished, but Valencia only let out a long breath before standing up straight, as if she weren't tired at all after training against Ariana for a few times.“From any perspective, it appears that you are more worthy of mast

16. In The Way to The Palace

Since early in the morning, Ariana had woken up to be dressed up for Crown Prince Emilio's birthday. In previous years, Ariana had always been the most busy girl because she prepared many gifts for her fiancé. But this time, Ariana didn't even bother to look at the gifts that James had carefully chosen. She gave gifts only as a formality. Because the truth is, Ariana tried to no longer have the slightest concern for her ex-fiancé.When Ariana looked at her reflection in the mirror, the girl finally understood why her grandfather had to order new clothes for this birthday party. Unlike the beautiful dress that Ariana usually wears to visit parties, the girl is wearing a beautiful dress with a pant now. Ariana could already imagine how big the commotion would be because of her arrival. But that's what she expected. The more people who find her crazy and unreasonable, the better it will be for Ariana.After all, it's time to remind them again, that the Alison family is a strong family be

17. Birthday Party

“His Grace the Duke of Alison and Lady Ariana entered the room!”When someone announced their arrival, the attention of the people inside the Crown Prince's Palace almost immediately focused on Duke Andrew and Ariana. Not quite there, the sound of whispers immediately sounded when they saw Ariana come wearing pants instead of a dress as usual. People's gazes seemed to scorn Ariana, who was considered crazy. But under her grandfather's tutelage, no one was crazy enough to dare to mock the girl directly.With the confidence that she managed to cultivate during her life in the palace, Ariana walked gracefully and confidently to approach Queen Melisa and Crown Prince Emilio, who were the center of attention at this event. Ariana bowed respectfully in front of the two. Her graceful style was completely unmatched, with an appearance that could be called inappropriate for a young girl like her.“Duke Andrew greets Her Majesty the Queen and His Highness the Crown Prince.”“Ariana greets Her M

18. Prince Raoul

“Raoul greets Her Majesty, and His Highness the Crown Prince.”Ariana fell silent as she watched the eldest prince lower his body without the slightest shame. Even though Emilio was his younger brother in terms of age, the difference in their status forced Raoul to bow his head to his brother. Whispers were heard everywhere after Raoul come to the room. Compared to Ariana who came in pants, people dared to insult the prince who didn't have any power in the palace.“Thank you for being willing to come despite your poor health, Prince Raoul. As a brother, your presence alone is sufficient as a gift to Crown Prince Emilio.”Not only Ariana, even Duke Andrew slightly frowned when Queen Melisa blatantly insulted Prince Raoul. Since the sickly prince rarely received affection from the people in the palace, Raoul seemed forced to come without bringing any gifts. His attire was also too simple, even though he was a prince. For comparison, Ariana's clothes can be judged to be far more luxurious

19. A Big Conspiracy

When Ariana was about to return to the crown prince's palace to meet her grandfather, the girl happened to see the king coming with his servants and royal knights. Seeing the king, Ariana hesitantly stopped her movement. Just dealing with the queen and crown prince was exhausting enough for her. Ariana was afraid that she would only create an awkward situation, if she met King Alexius without being accompanied by her grandfather.Her intention was, Ariana would pretend she wasn't there until King Alexius walked into the room. The girl slipped between the palace trees. James also pulled to do the same. The two of them hid, with James staring at Ariana in confusion, until the sound of footsteps came closer and closer to them.“Glad to see you're well, Ariana.”Ariana looked up to see King Alexius who was looking at her with a faint smile. For a moment, Ariana was surprised when she saw the new expression on the young king's face. In the past, the man who was king before Emilio had never

20. Her Determination

Ariana woke up again when the maid at Alison's residence woke her up in the morning. As the girl got up from her sleeping position, Ariana subconsciously immediately massaged her nose in a bit of frustration. Yesterday was a pretty crazy day for Ariana. Now, Ariana knew she knew Prince Raoul in the past, and King Alexius would most likely die abnormally in the future.Perhaps because this was her second life, she was provided the opportunity to know more things now. The palace which was always considered the safest place in the entire kingdom turned out to be a dangerous battlefield in a peaceful kingdom. Ariana was pensive with a serious face until the maid in charge of waking her didn't dare to disturb the girl even a bit.Slightly blackened lips and nails. If Ariana hadn't drunk the same poison in the past, she probably wouldn't have noticed the slight change that happened to King Alexius. The poison that will slowly take away the victim's ability to move, is a poison that works fo
