In the king's study, both Marquess Curtis and Captain Allen glanced at each other as Raoul, who had been king for several months, took another deep breath. The man's gaze looked sad, as his hands continued to move to work on the pile of tasks in front of him.The two men who had been watching Raoul for a while knew that even though the king was doing his job, his mind was actually elsewhere. Another sigh sounded again, as Raoul finished with another paper.“Your Majesty, is there something wrong?”As the new prime minister, Marquess Curtis felt that helping to lighten Raoul's burden was one of his duties. Raoul did look at him after he asked. But not long after, Raoul's head drooped again, as if the man had given up on what was on his mind.“Are you thinking about Lady Ariana, Your Majesty?”When it was Captain Allen's turn to ask, the originally limp Raoul immediately became embarrassed when the new head of the royal knights asked him. “How, how did you know?” asked Raoul in disbelie
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 117. The Invitation
At the end of a beautiful hill, Ariana stood accompanied by Carla, who was standing far behind her. In the girl's hands, there was now a beautiful bouquet of flowers which she finally kept on top of the two simple tombstones that were there. Ariana looked at the two graves with a sad look, when she remembered that one of the tombstone owners' bodies had never been found.Every spring, Ariana would visit the graves of her loved ones to just take care of the place, so it wouldn't be abandoned. With her position, Ariana has hired someone to take care of the graves of the people who played a big role in her life. But the girl would still come every year, with a bouquet of flowers for every grave she visited.At the end of the cliff with the beautiful wisteria tree, there's Valencia's tomb which is aligned with Cornell's tomb. The couple was now given proper tombstones so that people would know that the one resting there was one of the heroes who helped King Raoul ascend to the throne.At
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 118. The Party
As the Sigmund Kingdom's economy had improved over the past few months, Raoul managed to save enough money to throw a grand party to celebrate Raoul's appointment as king of the Sigmund Kingdom. Since early morning, various luxurious carriages passed through the streets of the capital to go to the royal palace. Because King Raoul was so famous in the eyes of other kingdoms, queues to enter the royal palace caused congestion on the streets of the great capital.Ariana, who had come with Cale in the horse carriage, couldn't believe it when they too were caught in the traffic jam. It seemed that even before Raoul became a king, his popularity had already spread across many kingdoms. Ariana could see that most kingdoms sent their daughters as royal representatives. They did that, probably because they knew that Raoul still didn't have a queen until now.“Your Grace, thank God you arrived safely.”As soon as Ariana got off her carriage, she was immediately greeted by Captain Allen, who gre
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 119. Marriage Agreement
When Raoul saw Princess Elle coming to his party, the king asked for a private room to talk to the girl about the Orvel Kingdom's troops that are still living in the Sigmund Kingdom. Previously, they were forced to stay in the Sigmund Kingdom for a while because they were ordered by King Bernard to help Raoul secure the Sigmund Kingdom during the unstable reign. But now that everything was over, Raoul felt he needed to return the troops to the Orvel Kingdom. Raoul certainly couldn't talk about such sensitive matters in public. So, when the guests were entertained with various events that Raoul had prepared, the king went to see Princess Elle, who had first entered the private room that Raoul had chosen.“Raoul!”Princess Elle, who originally appeared as if she was still friends with Raoul, immediately stopped when General Dion pretended to cough to warn the girl. In front of Princess Elle right now, Raoul was no longer a prince who had the same status as her. Raoul was a king, and Pri
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 120. Strange Behaviour
“Curtis, should we get married? With your status and age… People must have been urging you to get married too, right?”Seeing Marquess Curtis' shocked face, Ariana finally realized that she had asked the impossible. The girl was pensive before she averted her gaze from Marquess Curtis.“You see, many people have been constantly sending me letters and gifts since His Majesty ascended the throne and everything was … Really over. They know I'm the only one left in my family, so I have an obligation to continue my family lineage. I thought that instead of marrying a noble I didn't know well before … It's better if I can marry someone I already know well.”Marquess Curtis is a man who is intelligent, gentle, and never distinguishes the status of others. Apart from Alison's family, the Alodie family was probably another noble who managed to maintain the prosperity of their territory even in times of chaotic reign. Marquess Curtis also always treated Ariana well. So, the girl thought, maybe M
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 121. Disappointment
“Raoul, are you okay?”On the dance floor, Raoul regained his senses when Princess Elle rebuked him in a low voice. When the king saw Princess Elle's worried face, the man finally realized that he was dancing in the middle of the dance floor with the princess. Many people step aside to give them more space to dance. The atmosphere was made so solemn, that people might misunderstand the current status of the two.In fact, Raoul was forced to use his first chance to dance with Princess Elle because people kept pushing him to do so. They said Raoul and Princess Elle should be able to show that the two kingdoms have been on good terms at the ball this time. Not to mention, Princess Elle also looked like she wanted to dance with Raoul. The king felt he couldn't let Princess Elle down, especially when many people had been watching their interactions ever since the two of them had been seen talking together.“I'm fine. You don't have to worry, Elle.”Even though Raoul said that, even when Ra
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 122. The Mysterious Girl
“Fresh fruit, please buy our fresh fruit!”“Fresh vegetables straight from the farmer! Come buy before they run out!”Princess Elle stared in amazement at the market interactions in the Sigmund Kingdom's capital. Perhaps because the Sigmund Kingdom was well-known for its extraordinary abundance of natural produce, Princess Elle could see that the market in the Sigmund Kingdom was selling various vegetables and fruits that the princess had never eaten before. The girl looked at the vegetables and fruits one by one until some sellers couldn't help but stare at Princess Elle with strange looks.Since Princess Elle had firmly rejected the special guards prepared by King Raoul, the girl went to the market in disguise this time. In ordinary noble attire, no one could have guessed that the girl who constantly wandered around the market was the princess of the Orvel Kingdom. The girl was so excited when she saw things she had never seen before until someone's hand was holding her back.“Princ
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 123. Duchess of Alison
Hearing the woman's screams and the mention of 'Her Grace', General Dion finally realized his mistake and hastily lowered his sword again. From start to finish, the girl who had been threatened just smiled gently while looking at them. The girl stopped as her maid was about to put on her body for her. Furthermore, the girl even introduced herself respectfully to Princess Elle.“Sorry if I startled you, Your Highness. Then, please forgive my maid's disrespect as well. I, Duchess Alison, greet Her Highness, Princess Elle. May health and prosperity always be with you.”Princess Elle was completely shocked when she realized that this beautiful girl in front of her was someone Raoul always talked about in his spare time. Even if Ariana was currently wearing simple clothes, Princess Elle still couldn't stop admiring the girl's beauty and strength. Ariana should have an age that is not much different from Princess Elle. However, both her appearance and demeanor looked very different from Pri
