Chapter 3

Author: Blessed Ball
When he saw my swollen cheeks, he seemed to realize what had happened. Instinctively, he reached out to comfort me, but Bayram stopped him.

Bayram looked down at me with an icy expression. Then, he sneered sarcastically.

“Let’s see how long you can keep up this tough act!”

“Send the word. Without my orders, no one is to give these two spies any food or water!”

After Bayram left, Rio approached me while seething with rage.

He gripped my throat tightly. But just as I struggled to breathe, he tossed a jar of wound medicine at my feet and strode away.

When everyone had left, Mr. Smith slowly regained consciousness.

He let out a howl of pain as he glimpsed his blood-soaked wound.

I closed my eyes to rest. The wedding was just a few days away. If I could just hold on, someone would come to save me.

But I had overestimated my strength. The damp basement quickly sent a high fever coursing through my body. Seeing this, Mr. Smith immediately shouted for help.

“Quick, go fetch a doctor! If anything happens to the Consort, don’t even think about Prince Bayram. Even Rio would be put to death!”

He made a loud fuss. Rio eventually showed up.

But he merely ordered his men to douse me with ice-cold water, convinced I was faking my illness.

“Enough with the act!”

“Tell me where Reverie is as soon as possible, and perhaps I will spare your life.”

In my daze, a scene from my first timeline flashed through my mind. It had been the moment I chose Rio.

When Bayram buried me alive, he had stared at me just as coldly.

He said that as long as I agreed to be his maid, he would spare my life.

Thinking of that, I spat viciously at him. “Get lost!”

Rio paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and warned me. “This is your last chance!”

Just as we stood facing off, Rio’s personal guard reported. “General, a bridal carriage is waiting outside the mansion. They say they’ve come to pick up…”

“Speak!”

“The man leading the group here to fetch Ms. Savoy is the Crown Prince’s personal attendant!”

Mr. Smith was overjoyed. “Rio, your time has come!

“And you, Bayram Anjou. The consort is the Crown Prince’s most cherished person. After humiliating her like this, you’d better brace yourselves for the royal family’s wrath!”

Rio looked nervously at Bayram as he approached us.

Bayram raised his hand and laughed. “Why all the panic? There’s no doubt she’s a spy from the enemy nation!”

“Do you really think His Highness the Crown Prince would marry a spy?”

Hearing that, Rio immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of his distraction, I pulled out the signal flare hidden at my waist and tried to light it.

Bayram’s sharp eyes noticed it immediately. He drew his sword and slashed my wrist, giving me a cold glare. “Behave yourself!”

I clutched my wrist and glared at the two of them through gritted teeth.

“Let me go right now! The Crown Prince is right outside the door. If I die, you won’t get off easy either!

“You’ve unlawfully imprisoned a consort and destroyed a Royal Decree. Do you really think you can get away with either of those? Bayram Anjou, don’t forget—you’re just a collateral branch of the family and haven’t even inherited a title yet!

“Rio, the imperial family has long been wary of you. This would be the perfect opportunity to get rid of you!”

The two exchanged glances. Mr. Smith added insult to the injury with a loud laugh.

“The consort is right. When has the capital ever been ruled by two lowborns?!”

“Just you wait…”

Before Mr. Smith could finish his sentence, his eyes widened. Bayram severed his head, and it fell to the ground.

Rio waved his hand. “Take her away to the back courtyard.”

The slightest touch from him sent a wave of pain through my festering wound.

I struggled while shouting, “Your Highness!” However, Rio clamped his hand over my mouth. Despairing, I thought I was going to die at their hands once again.

The next second, the door swung open.

A figure dressed in wedding robes strode quickly toward me, kicking Rio and the other man standing beside him to the ground.

Then, with a tender gaze, he pulled me into his arms. “Don’t be afraid, Reverie. I’m here!”

  • I Gave Up On Both of Them   Chapter 10

    “Do you really think this would stop the enemy from advancing? The area thirty miles outside the city is swarming with enemy troops. You’re bound to lose!”Bayram, clutching at his last shred of hope, roared in fury, looking as though he had lost his mind.“Is that so?!”A familiar voice rang out from the crowd. A majestic warhorse galloped forward, and the rider’s face gradually came into view.It was Wesley. He was awake!“The garrison outside the city has been completely wiped out. Bayram, you have completely lost!”Wesley leaped from his horse, walked up to me, and stared coldly at him.“This can’t be! This can’t be! You were poisoned with the Week Powder. How could you possibly still be alive?! It was you, Rio! Why did you betray me? Don’t you know that this Reverie standing before you is a fake?”Rio pulled out a human-faced mask and tossed it at his feet.“And still, you tried to deceive me! I always thought of our childhood friendship, so when you proposed a fair conte

    “I’m not afraid to tell you this. Do you know why I chose the Crown Prince so resolutely?”Rio shook his head in confusion, but what I said next shattered his heart once again.“Because I have already died twice!“My cover was blown. You and Bayram, driven by rivalry, staged fake deaths to see who I would choose! In both timelines, I took turns choosing each of you, but in the end, you tortured me to death!“Rio, you claimed to love me, but you never believed me! You only love the Reverie projected in your imagination. Not me!”I growled softly, finally able to vent the secret I’d been holding deep inside.Rio clearly did not believe me, but he was still deeply shaken and took a few steps back.“It’s not like that. How could I ever hurt you? I love you so much...Reverie, you must be making this up…”Smack!“Enough! Can’t you see the truth?!”I grabbed his sleeve and pointed at Wesley lying on the bed. “This is the Crown Prince of Lacrea. Do you realize that Bayram is using yo

  • I Gave Up On Both of Them   Chapter 8

    As far as she could recall, both Bayram and Rio had worked their way up to where they were through their own efforts. So why, then, did he poison Wesley? “Reverie, do you remember when we first met? Back then, I was just part of a lowly collateral branch. You were the one who told me that if I wanted something, I had to learn to fight for it myself.” “Once I thought I had enough power to marry you, a royal decree was issued, and you became the King’s handpicked consort to the Crown Prince. I hated it! How dare they just snatch you away from me like that? So, I kept building my power, but then, you were captured by the enemy nation!“Thank Heavens for they protected you, and you returned safely. But you came back with Rio. You said you found him among the dead. Because of that, as soon as Rio woke up, he immediately asked for your hand in marriage. I was one step too late again.” As he spoke, Bayram walked toward me with a look of infatuation, paying no heed to his bleeding wound

  • I Gave Up On Both of Them   Chapter 7

    “Rio, what are you standing there for? Do you really want Reverie to die here?“Hurry up and get her out of here!”Bayram roared. Rio immediately drew his sword and led “Reverie Savoy” out of the encirclement.“Usurpation and rebellion. Prince Bayram, have you decided how you want to die?” I walked up to Bayram and looked down at him.The king decreed that Bayram Anjou had attempted treason. He was to be executed at a later date.Upon hearing that, Bayram showed not a trace of fear. Instead, he stared at me in bewilderment.“What kind of sorcery have you used to make both the king and the Crown Prince protect you like this!“You’re nothing but an imposter… Ow…”The sharp crack of a slap echoed distinctly through the hall. Even at that moment, he still refused to accept the truth.After my father and brother fell in battle, I was indeed captured by the enemy nation.Along the way, I was rescued by men sent by the King. At that time, I was consumed by a desire for revenge, so I

  • I Gave Up On Both of Them   Chapter 6

    The plum blossom brand was unique to the royal family of the enemy nation.Clearly, this woman was merely an unloved member of the royal family.As cautious as Bayram was, he could not possibly be unaware of this woman’s true identity. Unless…Pointing at the spy, he ordered my execution.Bayram, your time was coming!The hall erupted in an instant. Ministers who had long harbored resentment toward the Crown Prince’s faction leaped to their feet.“Your Majesty, this woman has beguiled the Crown Prince. Her crime deserves execution!“The Crown Prince has been beguiled by her beauty. Your Majesty, please think this through. The heir to the throne must not be such a foolish man!“Your Majesty, now that Ms. Savoy has been found, we implore you to make a decision. To whom should the military authority held by Lord Savoy be transferred?”...Many in the hall offered their counsel, yet not a single one saw the situation clearly.Instead, they were pressuring the King to depose Wesl

  • I Gave Up On Both of Them   Chapter 5

    The wedding banquet that day ended in a hasty mess.Upon learning that the assassin had escaped, Wesley was furious and did not set foot in my chambers for several days.The servants in the mansion began to speculate, convinced that I had fallen out of favor.Rumors even began to spread that I, a spy, would soon be executed.Unable to sit still, I began plotting my escape. But I never imagined that the servants, eager to curry favor, would poison my food.“Could it be that even after living through two timelines, I am still unable to change my fate?”I murmured in anguish.Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. It was one of Wesley’s attendants. “Your Highness, the Crown Prince has asked me to take you somewhere.”I pulled out the dagger hidden under my pillow, gripped it tightly, and replied. “Where to? And where is Wesley? Why hasn’t he been in the palace these past few days?”“We do not know, for we are merely servants. Please hurry, Your Highness. If we don’t arrive be

The coffin, which should have been buried, was blown up from the inside.Rio Murray stripped off his ill-fitting funeral robes and approached me with a cold expression.“Reverie, what did you just say? Did you just mention an engag

    Just as Bayram was about to lose his temper, he turned pale at the sight of the newcomer.“Your Highness, how could it be you?”Crown Prince Wesley’s voice grew heavy. “If I hadn’t come, how would I have known that my consort-to-be was about to be humiliated to death by you lot?!”Bayram trembled
