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.

[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 71. Wake Up
“Emilio … My son … Please wake up for Mother ….”In Emilio's abandoned room, Queen Melisa sat while still holding her son's hand tightly. Ever since King Alexius had said that Emilio was no longer a crown prince, Queen Melisa had been living in extreme despair. She couldn't kill King Alexius for his son's sake, but she was unable to wake her son from his long slumber either. Queen Melisa was even contemplating suicide if only Emilio didn't wake up until Raoul made it to the capital.At least if she died, no one could threaten her to give King Alexius the antidote to the poison she made. Queen Melisa bit her lips tightly, as she thought about the bad ending that might happen to her.Just as she was lost in thought, the hand she was holding slowly moved back. Queen Melisa was so shocked that she forgot to call the doctor. Her eyes only continued to stare at her son's face, which was slowly starting to get its color back.Time seemed to pass so long as Emilio's eyelids began to tremble l

No one knew how long Emilio was silent until the man suddenly straightened up again. The pain that plagued his head disappeared, when Emilio finally managed to piece together the memories between the two versions of himself.“Ana forgives me.”Along with the return of his originally messy memories, Emilio also managed to remember what happened when he was in a coma. All the conversations that were held nearby were recorded clearly, including when Ariana came to visit him and said things that only Ariana from the future knew. Emilio never thought he would be given the chance to love Ariana again after his death. If the man had known he would be sent to the past after his death, Emilio might have killed himself sooner.However … The man knew there had been some changes in the past because of Ariana. For example, the prince who should have died as a useless person has become his greatest enemy at this time. Because not only was Prince Raoul trying to aim for the throne that rightfully be
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 73. The Awakened Prince
Emilio walked quietly as he exited his palace to go to the main palace occupied by his mother. His face was devoid of any expression, as he became the center of attention like a circus performer.After Emilio left his room, he finally understood what the maids meant by their words. Emilio's palace, which was usually filled with hundreds of servants, now looked deserted and only had dozens of servants who had to work hard after their master's decline situations. The palace, which had always looked majestic and shining, had now dimmed as if the owner's own life could no longer be saved.Emilio's footsteps stopped when he saw the flower garden that Ariana once loved so much had now become an abandoned place. Perhaps due to the lack of workers in Emilio's residence, the flowers that normally bloomed beautifully under the careful care of the gardeners, now appeared to be withering and growing erratically. Emilio clenched his fists tightly. Even after Ariana's death, Emilio always tried to

Queen Melisa looked restless again when she finally finished saying what she needed to say. If she recalled Emilio's usual nature, the prince would feel all the information he had just heard was too shocking to believe. However, Emilio, who was in front of her, nodded calmly, before suddenly smiling triumphantly.“This way, my plan is clear, Mother,” said Emilio suddenly. The man moved closer to his mother before he patted her delicate hand once.“One of Mother's wishes, I will grant it now. Do you have poison that can speed up the heart rhythm? I need it if I want to kill King Alexius. Then … I also want you to contact Mother's acquaintances in the Orvel Kingdom, to make up the story that Prince Raoul, who most likely kidnapped Princess Elle. Perverting the facts is Mother's specialty, isn't it?”Queen Melisa was very surprised when Emilio casually said that he was going to kill King Alexius. The queen was too focused on the first plan, so she didn't pay much attention to the next pl
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 75. Fake Emotions
After Emilio finished with his business, the man stared at the corpse of King Alexius before sighing tiredly. The prince opened the door out of King Alexius' study, to see that there was only Teresa in the place.“He's dead. We'll move on to the next plan,” Emilio informed her. His eyebrows are slightly raised when he saw that Teresa had fallen silent when the maid saw that King Alexius really wasn't breathing anymore. However, in the next moment, the maid immediately turned to nod at Emilio.“I have paralyzed all eyewitnesses, Your Highness. You may return to your palace after this. From here on, Her Majesty and I will handle the situation.”Emilio nodded lightly before he slipped away from the place. Because Emilio was a king in his past life, the man knew secret passages that no one but kings knew. To avoid suspicion, the man departed and returned to his palace using the secret passage. The man had just arrived at his palace when the sound of the bell echoed throughout the palace.
[ENG] The Useless Duchess's Second Chance 76. Daedalus Territory
“Your Highness, we will soon enter the Daedalus territory.”Raoul heaved a sigh of relief when they finally arrived at the Daedalus territory, which was located at the outermost lane of the road leading to the capital's territory. During these few days, as they continued to move quickly to catch up with time, they had been forced to sleep on the ground as their bed. For Prince Raoul and the other soldiers, the trip might not be troublesome at all. But this time they brought Princess Elle, who was already looking exhausted from trying so hard to keep up with their recent pace.Even though Raoul did want to reach the capital as soon as possible, the man didn't want to torture Princess Elle any more than this. Raoul was afraid to cause trouble if Princess Elle got sick in his protection. After all, they couldn't bring Princess Elle back to her sick state.As soon as possible, they had to find a suitable city so that Princess Elle could rest and recharge her energy.“Alright.
