As she was treating him, Swan fell in love.

Atlion never answered her question.

“You’re the one who said you wanted me. Didn’t you say you’ve never regretted a day that you were with me?”

“Heart is something that changes as much as we want, Your Majesty.”

It was hell.

Her words seemed to make my blood vessels harden.
I always want to see and touch her, but she won’t allow it anymore.

I’m afraid of you.

Readymade Queen Act I: Salvation and deception

A splendid world under the blazing sun, a quarrel over its true ownership.

Violetta, the Princess who had been bound by the title of a fool, was mu*dered.

The only person who had witnessed the end of her vain life, as her lady-in-waiting, was the fallen aristocrat Abigail.

Abigail predicted a preventable end for herself as well.

Until the Duke said;

“You have to be the Princess.” <<less

I’m Jubelian? The daughter of the duke and the villainess of this novel?... more>>

I managed to avoid my death with some previous knowledge about my life, as this was my second time at it. Now, I should be able to live a peaceful life!

“I’m not going to marry a man unless he has everything. I want the most wealthy, famous, and competent man there is.”

I dreamt of a glamorous life as the daughter of the duke, but my father tells me the Crown Prince who is known to be a lunatic is to be my husband! As an extraordinary measure, I couldn’t help but start a contract relationship. That is, with a handsome side character that looks better than the main one.

“Why are you trying to avoid being engaged to the prince?”

“He’s scary. I heard that he even kills his own entourage if he doesn’t like them.”

A few days later, the prince sent a terrible letter to me.

“I will not kill you.”

Oh no, did I set up another death trap for myself?

“Don’t you even want to live?”... more>>

Richard asked in an angry tone. For some reason, I felt like I was getting scolded, so I snapped back at him.

“Will I live just because I want to live?”

It will be a lie if I say that I don’t want to live. I wanted to live for as long as I can. There’s no person in the world who doesn’t have an attachment to life. But that doesn’t mean it would work the way I wanted it to.

And now, he wanted to get me a cure, Rosiere Blossoms. He was going to go and pick some when doing so was as difficult as picking the stars in the sky, so I couldn’t quite make sense why he was doing this.

Surely, like the original Diana, I should have responded by begging him on my knees to get me the cure to prolong my life. However, I didn’t want to beg to that extent.

“But we all know that we can’t obtain that flower, Rosiere Blossoms.”

“Then are you going to give up without even trying?”

“Surely, yes…?”

“Why are you saying that without a care?”

“I…”

“I only see you occasionally, Diana, but whenever we see each other, you’re acting like this.”

Richard said it between gritted teeth. Obviously angry, he stared at me with a burning gaze. I immediately held my hand to my chest without thinking.

“Whether you like it or not, I’ll still get the cure for you.”

“Richard, why?”

I finally asked the question that was in my heart. Why Richard? For what reason? But my question put a strain on Richard’s face.

“Because I don’t want you to die.” <<less

“You’re trying to make me a target for your arrows.”

“To put it bluntly.”

And the Prince, as arrogant as he was noble, had no qualms about picking on Roselyn's wounds.

“You have to be smart, Roselyn, to get what you desire.”

For Roselyn, who was cornered, the temptation to restore everything she had lost was too sweet, so much so that she deliberately ignored the fact that she might regret it.

Willingly, Roselyn took the Prince’s hand and decided to plunge into the fall.

Aiden slowly took her outstretched hand and lowered his head. His lips, which rested on the back of her hand, felt hot as if they would burn her. He whispered, pulling Roselyn’s hand hard as she panicked and tried to withdraw it, “You will have to get used to skinship with me by this time.”

“Why, why…?”

“Because a lover in love should not be startled by holding hands.”

His eyes admonished her, as if asking if he had made a trivial statement. Roselyn exhaled deeply, as if she had made up her mind, and curled her fingers slowly. Aiden smiled brightly as he held her hand in his own large hand.
