[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 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
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 21. Visit Again
A luxurious carriage bearing the Alison family crest stopped on the palace grounds. From the inside, Ariana jumped out in an unusual outfit. After Ariana got used to wearing pants, the dress that used to be her favorite outfit made it difficult for her to move freely. Now, Ariana prefers to wear clothes with pants, along with a sword that is always carried around her slender waist.Because of her unusual attire, Ariana is the subject of conversation among people in the palace again. Not to mention because this time Duke Andrew wasn't with her, people felt they could gossip more freely in front of the girl. Throughout Ariana's steps, she could hear someone whispering about how she had gone crazy after the accident.“Those shameless people. Lady Aria, please allow me to punish those people who don't know their place anymore.”James' face darkened, as he couldn't stand the sight of those people talking about Ariana, who was of a much higher status than them. But when James wanted to move
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 22. The Truth Untold
The wind blew as Raoul finished speaking. Not only Ariana, even James immediately understood what the prince's words meant. Either directly or indirectly, Queen Melisa is proven to know something about Ariana's accident. Calling it an accident might be wrong from now on. Raoul's words were tantamount to telling them that someone had indeed targeted Ariana because the girl was close to Raoul.“Your Highness, you mean that ….”Raoul felt he had nothing to hide from Ariana anymore. After what happened to the girl, Raoul himself felt that Ariana should at least remember what happened.“Don't you remember? At that time, you secretly came to me to play as usual. However … That time, Her Majesty the Queen was visiting me and saying things you shouldn't have heard. You immediately ran away before I could stop you. Later, I heard the news that you fell into the pool accidentally. I'm truly sorry, Aria. I didn't know things would turn out like this ….”Along with Raoul's explanation, the young

“Welcome back, Lady Aria. Upon hearing your arrival, His Grace is waiting for you in his study.”Ariana had just gotten off the horse carriage when Jimmy was waiting for her in front of the house. Jimmy's slightly troubled face indicated that Duke Andrew had heard of Ariana's plan. Knowing this, Ariana could already guess what her grandfather's anger she had to endure. Because unlike when she decided to break off the engagement with the crown prince, supporting Prince Raoul to ascend to the throne was tantamount to officially opposing the palace's decision. Worse still, publicly supporting Prince Raoul could charge Ariana with treason.Ariana's plan this time is indeed very dangerous. But this plan was crucial if Ariana really wanted to get rid of Crown Prince Emilio and Queen Melisa in the future.“James, you told my grandfather everything you heard earlier didn't you?” asked Ariana just to be sure. James nodded guiltily. “Without any lies or additions, I reported everything to His G
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 24. Secret Training
The next day, Ariana went back to the palace with her horse carriage. However, unlike yesterday when she went with James, this time Ariana only brought Valencia to accompany her to Prince Raoul's castle.This time, Valencia had to return to her maid outfit because the fact that Valencia was secretly trained as a knight was still a secret of the Alison family. The girl followed Ariana obediently behind her. The two didn't say much until Ariana suddenly stopped before they reached the forest surrounding the palace.“Ariana greets His Highness the Crown Prince.”When Valencia heard Ariana's voice, the girl immediately knew that the crown prince was walking towards them. Valencia immediately bowed politely, before taking three steps back, according to the palace's rules regarding the manners of a servant.However, Emilio wasn't really concerned with Valencia's actions, as his eyes focused on Ariana. His eyes looked sadly at Ariana, as Emilio reached out to touch Ariana's hand.“Why do you
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 25. Hunting Festival
Three years had passed since Ariana first came to assist Prince Raoul with his studies. Every day without exception, Ariana would come to the palace with the excuse of studying in the building owned by her family. Of course, Valencia is also accompanying Ariana into the palace. The two of them would secretly sneak into Prince Raoul's castle, teach him things, then return when night fell.But especially these few days, Ariana and Valencia would teach Prince Raoul stricter than usual. In the next few days, the hunting festival which is an event held every three years will be held again this year. Every noble and royal family will participate in the event, which has become a tradition of the Sigmund Kingdom. Prince Raoul was no exception. The hunting festival could be Raoul's chance to properly show his face in public.But all this time, the hunting festival was not something the man had been waiting for. Because he had never been taught anything properly, Raoul had always only been the
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 26. Hunting Competition
With a horse, it didn't take long before Ariana arrived at the hunting grounds. Since the girl had indeed arrived earlier than most, there weren't many people gossiping as soon as she came with a horse. Despite that, none of the people present were not surprised when they saw Ariana present with Albert as her escort.With Albert's identity as the head knight of the Alison family, that man wouldn't come just to escort an ordinary Alison family member. The man would specifically only escort the new head of the family or the future head of the Alison family. Here, Ariana's status is finally set in public.If Duke Andrew dies, Ariana will step up to take the position. Even more unique, Ariana will not only rise as the head of an ordinary family in the future. When the girl actually succeeded Duke Andrew later on, she would also change her status officially to that of a Duchess and protector of the Kingdom of Sigmund.Ariana's gallant horse stopped when the girl happened to see Emilio just

“ … Your Majesty, your tea.”Queen Melissa received her tea quietly as she sat down in her chair. Her gaze was icy cold, as she slowly sipped her maid's brewed tea.“I seem to be too careless this time, Teresa. Just because I feel this kingdom has become mine, I forgot that there is still one important noble power that has not obeyed my orders yet.”Melissa muttered to herself as she finished the cup of tea Teresa had prepared. Since the hunting competition had started and almost all the men had left to participate in the competition, Melissa as a woman was left alone in her resting tent.“That damn king too … It seems I've been too soft on him to the point where he feels like he can act on his own. Should I kill him after this? No, no. A King must be above eighteen years old to take full control of government affairs. If I kill him now, I will only give the Alison family a chance to take control of the government."The Queen muttered to herself as she thought of all the possibilities.
