I saved the current queen with my medical expertise and ability to save patients from the clutches of death itself. To fulfil my long-time wish, the queen intended to order that I was to marry the son of a marquess, Eldwin Gennings. However, I fell on my knees and begged her to let me marry a notoriously useless rich heir instead. The queen was shocked. After all, everyone in the Royal Capital knew that I had been in love with Eldwin since we were young. I had even said several times that I would not marry anyone but him. In my past life, I had indeed married Eldwin, just as I wished, but on the night of our wedding, he left me waiting alone in our bedroom. The next day, he married my half-sister as his second wife. I was bullied and framed by my half-sister. As a result, Eldwin cut my wrist tendons and damaged my arms permanently. In the end, my wounds got infected, and I died. When I opened my eyes again, time had rewound to the day the queen ordered me and Eldwin to be married. This time, when he found out that I wanted to marry someone else, he went mad and begged me to take him in.
View MoreEldwin glanced at the furious look on the king’s face and kicked Rosalie. He did not want to be dragged into her mess.“You seduced me shamelessly. Now that you have been found guilty of such a heinous crime, there is no way my family will want you as my wife.”Rosalie collapsed on the floor in despair, and the guards dragged her away.The next day, she was beheaded. Harming the queen was punishable by death. The king was lenient by not punishing the rest of the Shaw family for it, so my father did not dare to risk the king’s wrath by giving Rosalie a proper burial.At the end, her body was discarded in a mass grave and became food to stray animals.She got the ending I had suffered in my past life. One could say that it was some kind of cosmic justice.Meanwhile, I was happily getting ready for the wedding.However, on the night before my wedding, Eldwin climbed over the wall and into my yard. I stared at him coldly, “What do you want from me?”He walked over and pulled me int
Rosalie could not believe that Eldwin would say that to her. Her eyes were brimming with tears.“Do you mean to say that you don’t trust me, Eld?”Every time Rosalie pretended to be frail and innocent, Eldwin believed her. But this time, it stopped working.Eldwin yanked his sleeve out of Rosalie’s grip and let the royal guards take her away.Then, he looked over at me and said, “I did not defend you in the palace the other day, so today, I did not defend Rosie either. You are even. Could you stop being mad at me now, Catalina?”I was so baffled by Eldwin’s logic that I gave an angry bark of laughter. “If it were not for Javien, who risked his life to break into the palace and save the queen, I would have been beheaded. Would you kill Rosalie to compensate me, then?”For a moment, Eldwin was at a loss for words.Knowing that it was pointless to argue with him, I took Javien’s hand and brought him to my room.I took out a jar of high quality medicinal ointment and applied it on
“Is that right? Well, we will see.”No secret could be hidden forever. As long as Rosalie committed a crime, she would certainly have left a trace. I wondered if Eldwin would defend her when the truth was revealed.A few days later, Javien’s wounds recovered. He could not wait to prepare my wedding gifts and send them to my house.There were one hundred and twenty-eight boxes full of gifts. Every woman in the Royal Capital was envious.I looked at the heaps of priceless goods in my front yard and wondered if Javien had given everything in his house to me. While the Shaw family’s estate was filled with a celebratory mood, Eldwin suddenly pointed his sword at Javien.“I challenge you to a duel, Javien. Do you dare to fight me? If you lose, you will get out of here and take these gifts with you!”I was baffled by Eldwin’s bizarre action. A surge of anger burst in me. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, Eldwin? Have you gone insane?”Eldwin seemed confused. He did not unders
In my past life, my body was thrown into a mass grave by Eldwin and Rosalie.Javien, who had only met me several times, was running an errand for the king outside the city at the time. When he heard the news, he hurried back to retrieve my body and bury it in the Quinn family’s crypt.That was why I chose to marry him in this life. I thought he liked me. Did I get the wrong idea?“It was very reckless of me to ask the queen to marry you, Javien. If you are unwilling, I will meet with Her Majesty right away and ask her to take back the edict.”Javien reached over to take my hand and said anxiously, “I am willing to marry you, Catalina. I… like you.”Hearing his confession, I was relieved. I had already experienced the pain of marrying a man who did not love me. In this life, I wished to marry one who did.I picked up a jar of medicinal ointment and looked at him with a bright smile. “Let me put the ointment for you.”A shy expression appeared on Javien’s face. “It’s all right. Le
Eldwin grabbed my wrist and said, “The queen must have been mistaken. You are supposed to marry me, not Javien. Let’s head to the palace and tell her about it.”I flung him off and said coldly, “She did not make a mistake. I told you that I wasn’t going to marry you.”Eldwin stared at me incredulously. “Catalina…”My mother shoved him away. She looked at me and said, “Quick, pay Javien a visit. The king ordered him to be whipped sixty times because he barged into the palace to save you last night.”She explained that when the news about my arrest got out, she had no one to turn to for help. At that moment, she recalled what I told her a while ago: I had asked the queen to let me marry Javien.Therefore, my mother quickly went to Javien and told him that I loved him, as well as the news about the queen’s order. She begged him to think of a way to save my life. After hearing that, Javien rushed out of the city to get my mentor, who was a great physician. However, the palace gate w
The next morning, royal guards stormed into my family’s estate and accused me of attempting to murder the queen. They arrested me and took me to the royal palace to face judgement.Coincidentally, Eldwin had also come to meet the queen. When he saw me, he snorted coldly and said, “Don’t think that I will let the theft slide just because you intercepted me at the palace.“Only if you promise to never bully Rosie again will I forgive you and not expose your deed in front of the queen.”I stared at him and said frantically, “Her Majesty fainted after taking the medicine I made last night!”Eldwin was shocked. “What? Aren’t you an expert physician? How could you make such a mistake? Don’t you know that harming the queen is punishable by death?”I glared at him with bloodshot eyes and barked angrily, “There was nothing wrong with the medicine I made! Rosalie went through my stuff yesterday and messed it up!”Eldwin was startled again. After a moment, he said, “It must have been a mist
