[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 63. Last Fortress
Unlike the northern border, which was surrounded by forests and high hills, the southern border of the Sigmund Kingdom was a dry area filled with sand in summer. With the sun hanging directly overhead, the heat seemed to burn the people who were attending the procession of burning the bodies of the fallen soldiers. They were burned to avoid the spread of disease that might occur because there were too many bodies in one place. The flames rose higher and higher, as one by one the corpses began to scorch in the flames.Several soldiers began to cry as their comrades burned in the fire. No one blamed their tears because the troops who were asked to guard the southern border were already at their final limit.For a year, they were forced to fight on the front lines without any additional troops. Even though they were called the Sigmund Kingdom's best army, faced with an opponent no less powerful, their army was also starting to run out little by little. From thousands of soldiers, now onl
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 64. Unfulfilled Promise
While everyone was risking their lives to save the lives of innocent people, Albert who had managed to take the attacked villagers to take refuge in Alard Town screamed in frustration as the townspeople didn't want to open the gates for the refugees who had just arrived. They kept saying that if they opened the gates of the fortress, they too would be attacked like those people.“Duke Andrew of the Alison Family has given you orders! Quickly open this gate, or we will break it down by force!”Albert shouted in frustration as the people still wouldn't change their minds. Since they had not yet finished with the mission of bringing the residents to a safe place, many soldiers died to buy time on the front lines.“Hah, Duke Andrew will die because he cares too much for insignificant people. But, I'm different. I won't help those people for the safety of those in this fortress!”“That damn Lord!”Cale, the older brother of Valencia who was in his father's army, was completely furious when
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 65. Death News
After they made a journey that took almost a month, the troops led by Ariana finally saw the mountain that became the beginning of the southern border. Ariana's face was full of excitement, as she immediately ordered her troops to go faster.Soon … Soon, Ariana will meet her grandfather. Ariana clearly couldn't wait to tell her grandfather so many things. She also had to break the news of how Prince Raoul finally had officially ascended as a crown prince without any disagreements. She had to convey how hard she worked for Alison's territory, or how much Ariana missed her grandfather.When Ariana imagined her grandfather's happy face when he heard the news, the girl subconsciously smiled a little too. But, her smile slowly faded, as she saw the silhouette of a man on horseback approaching her at an abnormal speed.“Everyone, get ready!”The atmosphere of the troops immediately tensed when Ariana shouted which was followed by the shouts of the captains of the troops. Everyone waited nerv

No one knew how long Ariana was there after the girl was too tired to cry or scream. Ariana just stood there, until the girl suddenly stood back up after she finished hugging Duke Andrew's body. Ariana's eyes filled with pain, as she returned to put on her helmet to hide her emotions from everyone else.From start to finish, Ariana was unaware that Cornell saw it all. The girl was still trying to look tough, as she returned to the battlefield calmly.“Lady Aria ….”When Ariana had just returned, the girl saw another familiar corpse among many corpses her army had begun to collect to receive a proper burial. While being surrounded by Cale and Valencia, who was crying loudly, Albert's corpse closed its eyes as if he were asleep. A round wound hit his neck precisely. From the wound, Ariana could guess that the leader of the knights died from being hit by an arrow in the neck.While they were all grieving, the gates of Alard Town which were originally tightly closed finally opened again. A
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 67. Funeral
Due to the sacrifices of Duke Andrew's troops that had bought time until Ariana's troops arrived, the Orvel Kingdom's troops seemed to have suffered heavy losses, so they didn't attack the area around Alard Town for a while. This was used by Ariana's troops to prepare to hold funerals for those who had fallen. Hundreds of citizens and soldiers were mobilized to build a mass cemetery. Everyone wears simple clothes, to honor the souls of those who have died.Being in the front row, Ariana watched as one by one, the bodies were placed in one place to be burned together. Even Duke Andrew, who was a war hero, had to be burned there because bringing him back to Alison's territory seemed to be impossible. The sound of crying echoed everywhere. Those who lost their families, lovers, and friends wept together in that place.Ariana also couldn't stop the tears from rolling down her face, when she saw the bodies of her grandfather and James being taken to get their final rest. Both of them are t
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 68. The Puppet King
Emilio stared bored at his large bedroom window. Since childhood, he had a habit of gazing at the situation outside his palace through the window when he was feeling anxious. It felt like it had been a long time since Emilio had last seen Ariana. He missed his fiancé, the only love he had in this world.It's a shame that even though he's now a king, he's nothing more than his mother's other doll. Emilio never held any power in government. He could only say yes to all of his mother's requests, until the moment when she was satisfied and allowed him to see Ariana again.“Where are you, Ana … I miss you … Miss you so much ….”Emilio pressed his hand to the window as he didn't stop worrying about Ariana. Ever since his fiancé was poisoned by someone he didn't know, his mother had always said that Ariana was taken away from the territory of the Sigmund Kingdom for her healing. It was now the third year since Emilio couldn't see Ariana. The man couldn't help but worry when he didn't get any
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 69. A Sweet Lie
After there were only mother and child in the place, Queen Dowager Melisa finally smiled again, even though her smile was slowly getting weirder.“Honey, you should know why Ariana got poisoned in the first place. After the Alison family lost its power, people started to become dissatisfied with your engagement with Ariana. If you keep pushing to keep your engagement with Ariana, even if Ariana recovers, in the end, you just would put her in danger again at this rate.”Queen Dowager Melisa saw Emilio's dissatisfied face, so she immediately continued with caution.“However, the story will be different if Princess Elle becomes your queen while Ariana becomes your concubine. A concubine will not have political power, so Ariana can live comfortably with you after she's okay. I also know that Princess Elle is not an unreasonable girl. As long as you marry her and make her a queen, there won't be a problem, even if you spend all your love just for Ariana.”Emilio hesitated a little when he

Emilio had known Cornell for years. The man knew that Cornell was unlikely to talk nonsense at the end of his life. His feet unconsciously moved quickly to go to the palace garden that Cornell meant, although his heart kept screaming not to believe Cornell's words just like that.Emilio didn't want to believe that the mother he respected so much had dared to lie to him all this time. Ariana should be on her way to return to the Sigmund Kingdom. His fiancé was fine, not as tormented as Cornell had previously spoken of.But just this once, Emilio was forced to swallow the bitter truth his mother had been hiding. After Emilio continued to search like a crazy person, he actually found the body of a woman in the place Cornell had mentioned earlier. The bodies found were not random corpses. Even though her face was bloodied and crushed, Emilio could still recognize who the pitiful corpse was.Emilio's entire world seemed to crumble as soon as he was forced to accept that cruel reality.
