Chapter 1

Author: Sweet Beet
“Once I issue my edict, you will not be able to change your decision. Have you thought this through, Catalina Shaw?”

I kneeled on the floor. “I have. Please give the order, Your Majesty.”

The queen nodded. “My edict will reach the Shaw family’s estate within three days.”

After thanking the queen, I turned around and left the palace.

As soon as I returned to my family’s estate, Eldwin Gennings barged into my room furiously. He glared at me and barked, “You disgust me, Catalina. How could you ask the queen to make me marry you against my will?”

Recalling the moment he cut my wrist tendons in my past life, I said coldly, “I did not ask the queen to get us married.”

My half-sister Rosalie Shaw, who had been standing behind Eldwin, stepped forward. “The news is out that Her Majesty has issued an edict for your marriage. It has spread all across Oberon Kingdom. Why are you trying to hide it from us, Lina?”

She teared up while speaking. “At the end of the day, we are not meant to be, Eld. From now on, you will just be my brother-in-law.”

Eldwin immediately embraced Rosalie and comforted her gently, “Don’t worry, Rosie. You will always be the one I love.”

They disgusted me, so I chased them out immediately.

“If you want to confess your love to each other, please do it outside my room. Don’t be an eyesore.”

Eldwin glared at me. “How dare you speak to me this way, Catalina? Do you assume I can’t do anything about our arranged marriage just because the queen set it up?

“Once I get home, I’ll immediately get ready to ask Rosie for her hand in marriage.”

A glint of surprise flashed in Rosalie’s eyes, and she glanced at me timidly.

“But will my sister allow it, Eld?”

Eldwin raised his brows and looked at me. “If you say no, it means you are prone to jealousy, and I can divorce you for it!”

In my past life, Eldwin had indeed threatened to divorce me, which is why I eventually allowed him to marry Rosalie as his second wife. This time, his threat did not affect me.

I said nonchalantly, “You are not the man I am to marry. You may wed anyone you please. It’s none of my concern.”

Eldwin was startled for a moment. Then, he said with disdain, “Don’t try to play hard to get, Catalina.

“Everyone in the Royal Capital knows that you have been in love with me since we were little. There is no way you picked another man to marry.”

Seeing how certain he was, I did not bother to explain. He would find out the truth when the queen issued her edict in three days.

Rosalie grabbed my hand. “Since everything is set in stone, the two of us shall be his wives from now on.”

I flung off her hand in disgust, and she immediately fell down like a helpless ragdoll.

Eldwin shoved me to the floor right away. “You’ve been praised for being a great physician, but I know you are actually wicked and unkind. When we get married, I will surely teach you a lesson!”

He bowed down to pick Rosalie up in his arms and carried her out of my room.

I raised my hand to wipe the blood off the wound on my forehead and gave a bitter smile.

    Eldwin 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
