Short filmTranscript
00:00On the night of his coronation, he cut the flesh from my forehead.
00:06The High Prophet once prophesied that the Lord Chancellor would have a daughter capable of foreseeing the future.
00:13I was born with a lotus flower on my forehead, while my younger sister liked to draw flowers there.
00:20A royal decree betrothed my sister as the crown prince's bride, while I, according to my own wish, married Prince
00:28Peter.
00:29For the next five years, I used my power of foresight to help Peter Carter ascend to the throne.
00:37On the night of his coronation, I wiped away my makeup and told Peter about the lotus flower on my
00:42forehead.
00:44Bella Jones, how dare you imitate Karen!
00:49Was I reborn?
00:54When I opened my eyes again, I realized I had been reborn to the day I was to choose my
00:59husband.
00:59How can a mere flower decide that Karen is the chosen woman?
01:02I'd like to use the blank royal writ your majesty bestowed years ago to marry the Lord Chancellor's base-born
01:08daughter, Karen Jones.
01:10That royal writ was a reward from many years ago, granted after Peter Carter's mother died saving the king.
01:15I never expected he would use it here.
01:18In my previous life, even with my help, he relied on that writ to ascend the throne legitimately.
01:23I never imagined he would go this far for Karen.
01:25The queen was delighted he used it early, sparing future trouble.
01:29Bella Jones, what do you think?
01:31That his highness favors my sister is an absolute honor to our family.
01:35Peter looked at me, and his gaze seemed really complicated, and it was resolute too.
01:40This has nothing to do with coveting Lucas' position as crown president.
01:44It is simply that Karen and I are deeply in love.
01:48She is only a second daughter and cannot bear such an exalted fate.
01:52My queen, please grant us your blessing.
01:55But the entire capital knows the one you grew up with was Bella.
02:00And now you...
02:02I only regard...
02:03I regarded her as a younger sister.
02:05I didn't know people would misunderstand us.
02:08Younger sister, huh?
02:10Crown Prince Lucas was surrounded by a powerful royal aura.
02:13The so-called aura of a true king.
02:16Without my support, Peter would never be able to beat Lucas.
02:20Since he had staked everything on my base-born sister,
02:23I'd just grant his wish.
02:25Just as I exited the hall, Peter's attendants stopped me.
02:30Lady Bella, please wait.
02:32Prince Peter requests your presence.
02:35I was led to a corner tower where there was nothing else but tea.
02:38I didn't know what I could do, so I drank the tea,
02:41one cup after another, before Peter showed up.
02:43By the time my bladder was about to burst,
02:46Peter finally arrived, his face icy.
02:48When Karen begged you for help back then,
02:50this was how you treated her.
02:52Does it feel good?
02:53In the previous life, the army can't be delayed,
02:56so I stopped her.
02:57He won a great victory,
02:59and harbored resent to get me for it.
03:01I know you've come back to live this life again too, Bella.
03:04Even if you're prickly and jealous.
03:06We were married once, after all.
03:08I can still give you a way out of this.
03:11If you still care about me,
03:12after I marry Karen,
03:13I can make a place for you right by my side.
03:16We should just take separate paths.
03:18Do you understand?
03:21If vengeance is to be sought,
03:23it should be me coming after you,
03:25not the other way around.
03:26Since you're betrothed,
03:28the more distance we keep, the better.
03:30I will request to go to the Abbey of Mercy
03:32to pray for a year,
03:34just to avoid you.
03:36Peter Carter did not look pleased by my good sense.
03:39His expression darkened further.
03:41I stepped past him to leave,
03:42but he grabbed me.
03:43My killing you was an overreaction.
03:46But if you hadn't imitated Karen
03:48by painting a flower on your forehead,
03:50how would I have lost it?
03:51As long as you behave yourself this time,
03:53I can keep you alive.
03:54We once shared tender moments, remember?
03:58If you don't fight for any higher position,
04:00just be an obedient consort.
04:02I said separate paths.
04:04I will never be a consort.
04:06No sooner had I returned to the estate
04:08than the royal decree arrived.
04:10Well, hurry and receive the decree.
04:12Hurry up.
04:13Yes.
04:14Lord Chancellor Ted, it's not for her.
04:17It's for your second daughter,
04:18the base-born one.
04:21The royal decree,
04:22already eye-catching
04:23as it made its way from the palace gate,
04:25was further amplified by Peter's influence.
04:28In one night,
04:29our family became the center of attention.
04:31For years,
04:32it had been me,
04:34the true-born daughter of Lord Chancellor Ted,
04:36seen accompanying Peter.
04:38Yet the one getting married to him
04:39was the second daughter.
04:40Could it be that Bella
04:42had been the one chasing Prince Peter all along?
04:45How could the Virgil Lord Chancellor
04:47have such a daughter?
04:48His first daughter acts like a courtesan.
04:51No wonder she couldn't win the favor of Prince Peter.
04:53The next morning,
04:54Peter arrived early,
04:55bringing ten carriages of extravagant gifts
04:58to our estate.
04:59This further confirmed his affection for Karen.
05:02My father,
05:03his face full of worry,
05:05looked at me as I practiced calligraphy.
05:06Bella,
05:07though I don't know what's happened
05:08between you and the Prince,
05:10public opinion is now turning against you.
05:13Would you like to leave the capital
05:14to avoid the storm?
05:15To clear your mind?
05:17I put down the brush in my hand and said,
05:19I thought about retreating to the Abbey of Mercy,
05:21but there's no escaping this now.
05:24It's my fault.
05:25I should never have brought Karen back.
05:27Before he could finish,
05:28Karen pushed the door open and entered.
05:30When I was a child,
05:31you favored her
05:32and sent me to live with relatives at the border.
05:34And now Prince Peter is coming for me.
05:37Do you want to take this away from me too?
05:39I'll show you that even though
05:40I'm not as noble as Bella,
05:42I'm the daughter you should be proud of.
05:44She stormed off in a huff,
05:46and my father,
05:47afraid of something bad happening,
05:49sent guards to follow her.
05:50I tried to calm father down.
05:53Father,
05:53there's something more important
05:55that needs your attention.
05:56There's going to be a major earthquake
05:58in the Western region.
05:59You should prepare early.
06:00Father froze for a moment.
06:02I'll go to the palace now.
06:03Prince Peter will prepare for this.
06:06You should just focus on the follow-up work.
06:08Father was uncertain,
06:09but chose to trust me.
06:11If Peter wanted to seize the throne,
06:13he wouldn't miss such a good opportunity
06:14to win the people over.
06:16But I didn't expect
06:17that he would let Karen have the credit.
06:19Soon, rumors spread that Karen
06:20could predict the future
06:21and was the true chosen woman.
06:23The High Prophet's prophecy
06:25was brought up again,
06:26and with the wedding date approaching,
06:27she truly had the spotlight.
06:29Bella Jones?
06:30She really doesn't deserve
06:31the title of the noblest girl
06:33in the capital.
06:33Totally.
06:34She's indeed very beautiful,
06:36graceful,
06:36and talented.
06:37However,
06:38her incredible sister
06:39has now completely outshined her.
06:41At that time,
06:42Karen cornered me in the study
06:44and stopped me from writing.
06:45Bella,
06:46I'm going to be the queen this time.
06:49So what if you're
06:50the true chosen woman?
06:51Since I have the memories,
06:53I can predict things too.
06:55I smiled and looked at her.
06:56You think Peter was the reason
06:58why I became the queen?
07:01You've got things backwards.
07:04You're really full of yourself!
07:06I grabbed her hand
07:07and threw it off.
07:08But just then,
07:09Peter walked in
07:10and saw what had happened.
07:12He immediately shielded
07:13Karen in his arms.
07:15Bella!
07:17How dare you hurt her!
07:18I grabbed her hand
07:19and threw it off.
07:20But just then,
07:21Peter walked in
07:22and saw what had happened,
07:23pulled Karen into his arms,
07:25and looked at her with concern.
07:27I watched as he gently
07:28comforted Karen,
07:29but turned around
07:31to lash out at me.
07:32Bella,
07:33weren't you called
07:34the noblest girl
07:35in the capital?
07:36Now you're clearly
07:37a jealous and vicious woman.
07:38But just last month,
07:40during our boat ride,
07:41he had whispered
07:42sweet words beside me.
07:43Bella,
07:44you're so graceful
07:46and peerless.
07:47I want to hide you away
07:48so only I can have you.
07:50Seeing my eyes redden,
07:51Peter didn't want Karen
07:52to be scared,
07:53so he immediately
07:54ordered for her
07:55to be taken away.
07:56It was because
07:57you couldn't accept Karen
07:58that caused our rift
07:59in the previous life.
08:00Why do you have to
08:01make the same mistake now?
08:04Why should I accept her?
08:06You know full well
08:07her background.
08:08Her existence
08:09is a disgrace
08:09to our family.
08:12We've only kept her
08:13because my father
08:14couldn't bring himself
08:15to cast her out.
08:16Karen's father
08:17had been nothing
08:17but a thug.
08:18He had assaulted
08:19my mother,
08:20resulting in Karen's birth.
08:21My mother had passed away
08:23in sorrow
08:23because of that,
08:24but my father,
08:25recalling that she was
08:26still my mother's blood,
08:28couldn't bear to expel her,
08:29let alone kill her.
08:31Suddenly,
08:32Peter furiously
08:33grabbed my throat
08:33and whispered angrily,
08:35She was just a child,
08:37totally innocent.
08:39If you don't keep
08:40this to yourself,
08:41I have a thousand ways
08:43to make you
08:43unable to speak.
08:45My breathing
08:45became labored,
08:46and Peter finally
08:47released his grip.
08:49Guards,
08:49Bella wishes to go
08:51to the Abbey of Mercy
08:52for a month
08:52to pray for her sister Karen.
08:54Take her there.
08:55The common people
08:56along the streets
08:57weren't fools.
08:58They began to speculate
08:59on what had really happened.
09:01I was kept under
09:02house arrest
09:03in the Abbey,
09:03unaware of the rumors
09:05spreading outside.
09:06Meanwhile,
09:07Karen spread the word
09:08that I was jealous of her
09:09and tried to harm her,
09:10only to be caught
09:11by Peter.
09:12The people started
09:13praising her
09:14for predicting the earthquake
09:15and saving many citizens.
09:16The day I left the Abbey
09:18and returned home.
09:19A crowd was waiting
09:20outside the gates.
09:21They threw rotten vegetables
09:23and eggs at me.
09:24Just then,
09:25someone appeared
09:25in front of me
09:26and pushed the crowd back.
09:28Stop it!
09:29She's here
09:30only because she wanted
09:31to pray for her sister,
09:33my future bride.
09:34These rumors
09:35are truly unfounded.
09:37I looked at the tall figure
09:38in front of me,
09:39and my nose
09:40tingled with emotion.
09:41In the previous life,
09:43when we fought together
09:44on the battlefield,
09:45he would always
09:45shield me like this.
09:46But things had changed.
09:49Yet,
09:49as he protected me
09:51while I got into the carriage
09:52and sent me back home,
09:54it seemed like
09:55nothing had changed.
09:58The reason I'm
09:59defending you today
09:59is not for any other reason.
10:01I just thought it was wrong
10:03to forcibly send you
10:04to the Abbey back then.
10:05I lowered my head,
10:06sniffing.
10:06I understand.
10:09Father rushed back
10:10from the outskirts
10:11of the city.
10:12Father hugged me tightly
10:13and looked back at Peter.
10:15Our estate is too small
10:16to accommodate you.
10:17After your wedding
10:18next month,
10:19please don't come
10:20to us again.
10:21Father rushed back
10:22from the outskirts
10:23of the city.
10:23Father hugged me tightly
10:25and looked back
10:25at Peter.
10:27Our estate is too small
10:28to accommodate you.
10:29After your wedding
10:30next month,
10:31please don't come
10:32to us again.
10:33After the wedding,
10:34I will come to discuss
10:34with you about making
10:35Bella my consort.
10:37Father's face
10:37turned red with anger,
10:39and he picked up
10:40a broom to hit him.
10:46How can you behave
10:47this way?
10:47The Lord Chancellor
10:48has served the king
10:49and people loyally
10:50for his whole life.
10:51You've broken your promise
10:53and are marrying
10:53someone else,
10:54but now you want
10:55his first daughter
10:56to be your consort?
10:57You're literally
10:57insulting them!
10:58It was Lucas Carter,
11:00the crown prince.
11:01He ordered his men
11:02to escort Prince Peter
11:03back to his estate.
11:05He then returned
11:06with us to our house.
11:07When I was in my room
11:08getting dressed,
11:09I removed the leafy
11:10cover from my forehead,
11:12revealing the birthmark
11:13that had been hidden.
11:22Returning to the main hall,
11:23I heard Lucas' words,
11:25If you don't mind,
11:26I'd like to offer
11:27the entire kingdom
11:28as my bride price
11:29and ask Lady Bella
11:30to be my crown princess.
11:31Father hesitated
11:32for a moment,
11:33and I pushed
11:34the door open.
11:35I am honored
11:36by your highness' affection,
11:38and I am willing.
11:39In the previous life,
11:40it was because
11:41I chose Peter,
11:42defying fate,
11:43that all the disasters
11:44followed.
11:44They thought that
11:45by reliving this life,
11:46they could manage fate
11:47through their memories.
11:48What a joke.
11:49Your highness must have
11:50your own reasons
11:51for shenzeng me,
11:52but all I ask
11:53is for you to protect
11:54my father and me.
11:56I was a sign of sincerity.
11:58Rook Pete once
11:59makes any bold jokes.
12:01I will assist your house
12:02and resist him.
12:03Sure enough,
12:04not long after,
12:05the news spread.
12:07Princess Callan
12:07had predicted
12:08that a plague
12:08would break out soon.
12:10Once this prophecy spread,
12:12it immediately caused panic
12:14among the common people.
12:15With the prices of food
12:17and medicine skyrocketing,
12:18the king tried to suppress
12:20the panic,
12:20but his efforts
12:21were in vain.
12:22In the throne hall,
12:23only Lucas opposed
12:25Peter's large
12:26scable preparations.
12:27Many of the common people
12:29have invested
12:29all their savings
12:30into buying medicine
12:31and food,
12:32but with the recent rains,
12:33they have no proper storage
12:35and those goods
12:35are quickly starting
12:36to spoil.
12:38Go tell the crown prince
12:40about this
12:40and have him send some guards
12:41to secure the grain more house.
12:43But ten days passed,
12:44then a month.
12:46The day Princess Karen
12:47predicted had long passed.
12:49The plague did not arrive
12:51and the people realized
12:53they had been deceived.
12:55They angrily marched
12:56to Prince Peter's estate.
12:58The servants sent out
12:59reported that the grain
13:00stored by the common people
13:01had spoiled due
13:03to the wet season.
13:04I tidied myself up
13:06before slowly
13:06making my way over.
13:08We trusted you
13:09and lost so much,
13:10you can't just ignore this!
13:12Yes!
13:12You owe us an explanation,
13:13don't you?
13:14Could it be that
13:15last time's flood
13:15was just a coincidence?
13:16Who knows?
13:17Prince Peter went to
13:18such nanks for his princess.
13:20Maybe they deliberately
13:21blew up the dam
13:22to cause that!
13:23As their words
13:24grew more outrageous,
13:26Peter and Karen
13:26began to panic.
13:29At that moment,
13:30a tall figure
13:31appeared behind I
13:32and cleared his throat.
13:34Everyone!
13:35What has happened
13:36is in the past.
13:37After consulting
13:38with the Chancellor's daughter,
13:39I've decided
13:40to privately compensate everyone.
13:43Due to the rain,
13:45the food is not suitable
13:46for storage.
13:47You may return home,
13:48check your stores,
13:49and bring any bad grain
13:51to the Chancellor's estate.
13:52We'll replace it
13:53with fresh grain.
13:54And on top of that,
13:55each family will get
13:56five silver coins.
13:58Most of the people
13:59chaired and began
14:00to disperse,
14:01but some still stayed
14:02outside Prince Peter's estate,
14:04continuing to insult them
14:06and refusing to leave.
14:08In the last life,
14:09the plague really did happen.
14:12How come it didn't hit
14:13this time?
14:14Bella, did you do something?
14:17It was me.
14:19What are you going to do about it?
14:21You still want to marry Peter, right?
14:22Let me tell you,
14:24this time he's mine alone.
14:25Don't even think about it.
14:30I know you're still
14:31hopelessly in love with me.
14:32I've already offered
14:33to make you my consort,
14:34so why do you have to do this?
14:36And now you're helping me
14:37clean up after the mess, you-
14:38I wanted her to be my wife,
14:40the crown princess,
14:41but she refused.
14:43You asked her to be
14:44your consort?
14:45Seriously?
14:46I wanted her to be my wife,
14:48the crown princess,
14:49but she refused.
14:50You asked her to be
14:51your consort?
14:53Seriously?
14:53People are like water.
14:55Water can carry a boat,
14:56but it can also capsile it.
14:58Did you think about the consequences
14:59when you manipulated
15:00public iramean
15:01to lift yourselves up?
15:02Peter, however,
15:04paid no attention to Lucas.
15:06He just stared at me intently.
15:08The things that happened
15:09in the previous life
15:09are long-bossed.
15:11Now,
15:11it leaps you've got your revenge.
15:13Don't drag Lucas into it.
15:15I know you still want me,
15:17but you can't be so outrageous.
15:19Karen stepped forward,
15:20standing between Peter and me,
15:22about to speak.
15:24But a bucket of water
15:25was suddenly thrown at her
15:26by the angry crowd.
15:28Both of us were drenched.
15:33The common people,
15:35seeing that I had been
15:36splashed as well,
15:37were about to apologize,
15:39but they just didn't know
15:40what to say.
15:41I froze for a moment.
15:42Then I realized
15:43something was wrong.
15:45Suread,
15:46Peter's gaze shifted
15:47between Karen and I.
15:48Princess Karen's flower mark
15:50fades when it meets water,
15:51while Lady Belly's makeup
15:53has washed off,
15:54revealing the true birthmark.
15:56This means Lady Belly
15:57is the true chosen woman.
15:59While Lady Belly's makeup
16:00has washed off,
16:01revealing the true birthmark.
16:03This means Lady Belly
16:05is the true chosen woman.
16:08Please don't make this public.
16:10I will offer you
16:11anything you want.
16:11No wonder the Lord Chancellor
16:13could swiftly provide
16:14disaster relief
16:15when the earthquake happened.
16:16And you and the Crown Prince
16:18repeatedly advised us
16:20not to hoard food
16:21for the plague.
16:22Now we understand.
16:24Don't worry.
16:25I'll keep this a secret.
16:26Lucas stepped forward,
16:27wrapping me in his cloak
16:29as he turned to leave,
16:30not forgetting to mock Peter.
16:32Fool.
16:33Married the true chosen woman
16:35but didn't cherish her.
16:36Truly foolish.
16:39You, he nodded
16:40but didn't say anything more.
16:41The next moment,
16:43a royal herald came to us,
16:45holding a decree.
16:47Your Highness and Lady Bella,
16:50His Majesty has issued a decree.
16:52The daughter of the Jones family,
16:54Bella,
16:54of noble birth
16:55and gentle temperamented,
16:57possessing both virtue and grace,
16:59is to be recognized
17:00as a match worthy of the crown.
17:02She is to be made
17:03the Crown Prince's conscord.
17:04An auspicious date
17:06will be chosen for their wedding.
17:07May she diligently fulfill her duties
17:09and assist the Crown Prince
17:10in his role as the heir,
17:12upholding the legacy
17:13of the royal family.
17:14Sure enough,
17:15that very night,
17:16Peter visited the Chancellor's estate,
17:18but he looked disheveled.
17:20Did you set up those guards?
17:22Yes.
17:23They were specially arranged for you.
17:25Peter sighed
17:26and entered my room
17:27to tidy himself up.
17:28I know you're angry with me,
17:30but I'm not heartless towards you.
17:31I married Karen,
17:33which has already angered
17:34the King and Queen,
17:35so it's difficult for me
17:35to ask them to let me marry you now.
17:37You'll have to figure it out yourself,
17:39but my promise remains unchanged.
17:41Are you asking me to defy the King
17:43and risk the entire Jones family for you?
17:48You want me dead, Peter?
17:49He cleared his throat.
17:51You have a way to protect everyone,
17:53and I know what you want from Lucas.
17:55I can do the same for you.
17:57I didn't believe a single word, he said.
17:59In the past,
18:00he had condemned me to death
18:01over a single letter from Karen.
18:03Seeing that I was not yielding,
18:04he became vaguely frustrated.
18:06At that moment,
18:07his servant came to report.
18:09Your Highness,
18:10the princess seems unwell
18:11and is unable to sleep.
18:12Before leaving,
18:14he didn't forget to threaten me.
18:19Bella, you're a smart person.
18:21In the end,
18:21I'll be the one to sit on the throne.
18:24Don't let your father
18:25and the entire Jones family
18:26be your way of getting back at me.
18:28But not long later,
18:29Peter returned.
18:30He trapped me in his arms
18:31and forcibly carried me out the door.
18:35There's something I need you
18:36to promise, Karen, face to face.
18:39When we arrived at their estate,
18:41Karen climbed out of bed,
18:42her clothes still a bit disheveled.
18:44She shrank into Peter's arms
18:46when she looked at me.
18:47How could you bring her here?
18:49Don't tell me you still have feelings for her.
18:51Peter spoke gently to console her.
18:53After all,
18:54Bella and I have been married
18:55for many years.
18:56And when I ascend to the throne,
18:59the Queen must come from a noble family.
19:01Karen grew furious and screamed.
19:03You promised me
19:04you would give me all the honor.
19:06How can you go back on your word?
19:09How can you let her walk all over me again?
19:11Her face flushed
19:13and her voice hoarse.
19:14At that moment,
19:16I suddenly had an idea.
19:17Lucas was not a cruel person.
19:20Why had Karen met such a tragic end
19:22in the previous life?
19:23Looking around,
19:24the only thing that seemed to have a gap
19:25was the cabinet next to the bed.
19:27Peter seemed annoyed
19:28with her lack of foresight.
19:29Look at the history books for yourself.
19:32How many Queens
19:34come from a base-born background?
19:36Besides,
19:37you're only beneath my Bella.
19:39This sentence completely enraged Karen.
19:42Your Bella?
19:43I knew you still had feelings for her.
19:46We're both the daughters of the same father.
19:48How is my background not good enough?
19:50I simply sat down
19:51and poured myself a cup of tea.
19:53But Peter looked bewildered,
19:55staring at me.
19:57You've never told her about the background?
20:12You've never told her about her background?
20:15I nodded.
20:16No.
20:17As you said,
20:18my father also thinks
20:20she's just an innocent child.
20:22And since my mother has already passed,
20:24there's no point in bringing it up.
20:26Also, let me say this one more time.
20:29You and I should keep our paths
20:31separated in this life.
20:32Karen sneered at me.
20:34But you keep pestering, Peter.
20:36I ignored her
20:37and slowly moved toward the cabinet.
20:40Wait a moment, Bella.
20:41Just as I was near it,
20:43Karen suddenly blocked the way.
20:45This time,
20:46I acted first and shouted,
20:48Help!
20:49There's a snake!
20:50A snake just crawled into that cabinet!
20:52What if it bites the prince or the princess?
20:54I wanted to get someone to search the cabinet,
20:56but just then,
20:57it suddenly opened.
20:58A tall, disheveled man sprang out of the cabinet.
21:01Snake!
21:02Where's the snake?
21:03Ah, your highness, help me!
21:06The next second,
21:07my eye-eyes were covered.
21:09Prince Peter,
21:10you're really lucky.
21:12Your princess loves you so much
21:14and even gets someone to share your burden.
21:16Peter's voice pierced through the air.
21:19Karen Jones.
21:19Karen cried and clung to Peter's leg.
21:22It's my sister!
21:24It's her!
21:25She purposely put someone in my cabinet
21:27to slander me!
21:30I love you so much!
21:32I would never cheat on you!
21:34The man, receiving her signal,
21:37was about to blame me.
21:38If it's me,
21:39then I admit my guilt.
21:40I slandered Dirty the Royal Princess
21:43and I should be sent to prison.
21:45This guy dirtied the princess.
21:47Drag him out
21:48and execute him too!
21:51Seeing that I wasn't making up excuses for myself,
21:53the man panicked instantly
21:55and grabbed Karen's leg.
21:57Please save me, your highness!
21:58Ah!
21:59I served you well, right?
22:00And you liked it!
22:02Please protect me!
22:04Peter's face darkened
22:05as he prepared to deal with the situation,
22:07but I suddenly recalled the previous life.
22:10After Karen's death,
22:12there were many rumors about her infidelity,
22:14but Peter didn't believe it
22:16and ordered for those spreading the rumors
22:18to be dealt with.
22:18I looked at the woman on the ground and said,
22:20I'm really curious.
22:22Was it because of this in the previous life
22:24that you died?
22:26Knowing she couldn't explain herself anymore,
22:28Karen just admitted it.
22:30Yes!
22:30Lucas seemed unresponsive or something,
22:32no matter what I try!
22:34I'm human!
22:34I have desires!
22:36It couldn't help but exclaims,
22:37Count Peter.
22:39How could I have been so blind
22:40to risk everything and marry you?
22:43Wajaila,
22:44Calen Finzlaitha.
22:46Exactly!
22:46You were really blind!
22:48Not just blind,
22:49but foolish!
22:50You only remembered that the person
22:52who saved you
22:52had a red mark on her forehead,
22:54but you clearly knew
22:55she was the one with the birth perk,
22:57yet you still chose to believe me!
22:58When I was a child,
23:00I went out to admire the flowers
23:01and accidentally saved Peter,
23:03who had fallen off a cliff.
23:05He was already unconscious at the time.
23:08I thought he was handsome,
23:10so I followed him every day.
23:12Bella, you didn't know, did you?
23:14That day, I simply told him
23:15that I saved him,
23:16and you were just my evil elder sister
23:18who did steal my credit.
23:19He just believed it!
23:21Though I felt a little quitter,
23:22it wasn't surprising
23:24that he was so cluntless.
23:27You lied to me.
23:28You actually dared to lie to me?
23:33You made it public
23:34and paraded me into your estate!
23:37How dare you kill me!
23:39How will you explain this to the people?
23:41You lied to me!
23:42These two really were a perfect match.
23:46Peter,
23:46why did you take away my betrothed
23:48in the dead of night?
23:49What are you doing?
23:50Just then,
23:51Lucas' voice came.
23:53I quickly nestled into his arms.
23:55Yes,
23:56though we haven't been
23:57officially married yet,
23:58a woman's reputation
23:59is the most precious thing to her.
24:01If it weren't for Lucas trusting me,
24:03I wouldn't even know
24:03how to explain this to everyone.
24:07Standing with sudden change in attitude,
24:09Peter reached out
24:09to pull me toward him.
24:11Prince Peter is so romantic,
24:12willing to give up everything for love.
24:14I, on the other hand,
24:16am too vain to endure hardship.
24:18With that,
24:19I ignored both of them
24:20and followed Lucas back to the Chancellor's estate.
24:23Along the way,
24:24I couldn't help but glance at his waist.
24:27Why are you looking at me like that?
24:28Why are you looking at me like that?
24:30Well,
24:31it's nothing.
24:32There's going to be a major battle
24:33in the Borderlands, right?
24:34What do you think?
24:35Upon hearing this,
24:37I quickly closed my eyes
24:38and meditated.
24:39The war in the previous life happened
24:41because I forcibly transferred
24:42the Royal Aura to Peter.
24:44Heaven initiated the war
24:46to correct the mistake.
24:47It won't happen this time.
24:49Lucas didn't respond for a long time,
24:51so I took the courage to speak.
24:54Aren't you angry
24:55that I forcibly transferred
24:56your Royal Aura to Peter?
24:58Enough!
25:00I obediently stopped talking.
25:02I didn't know what agreement
25:04Peter and Karen had reached.
25:05They managed to maintain
25:06a facade of peace.
25:08Peter began buying up soldiers
25:10from all directions.
25:12And a month later,
25:13during the Royal Council,
25:15he brought up Karen's prophecy.
25:16My princess predicted
25:17that there would be a major battle
25:18in the Borderlands in a month.
25:19I volunteer to take charge.
25:21As usual,
25:23Lucas opposed him,
25:24but the king saw Peter's firm resolve.
25:26With a mindset of better safe than sorry,
25:28the king handed him the military command.
25:30Peter set off as planned,
25:32but two months passed
25:33and the Borderlands were peaceful.
25:35Peter, however,
25:36had made the most foolish move of all.
25:38...
25:39...
25:39...
25:39...
