Reborn to Bless Their Love Chapter 9
I averted my gaze."There's no need for you to recite all your mistakes to me," I said.…The political climate in the kingdom shifted rapidly. The Royal Court interrogated Holly, the bribed physician, and the old nanny who had falsely testified against me, and they eventually confessed everything.The truth was that the Payne family had illegally taken ownership of the gold and jewelry with the Royal Army General's seal on it, forced their daughter into being a concubine for the Crown Prince, drained her blood for medicinal use, and caused a death on the very day of the Crown Prince's supposed wedding.None of the details were spared, and soon, it all spread throughout the capital and became the talk of the kingdom.Dad was stripped of his official rank and imprisoned. Mom knelt at the palace gates every day, weeping and pleading for mercy, but nobody paid her any heed.Monique was also stripped of her title as the princess consort-to-be and grounded in the old family chapel, n

Colin didn't leave the North Camp immediately. He cited the need to inspect border defenses and took up residence at a post station outside the camp.Every day, envoys from the Royal Palace would arrive with gifts, including gold hairpins, brocades, and restorative health supplements. There was also the rare diamond necklace amongst them—the keepsake left behind by the late Queen.In my past life, I had spent half my lifetime yearning for it, but I only ever saw it resting before Monique's shrine at the palace.In this life, it was finally being presented to me, but I had it sent back without even bothering to open up the box it came in.On the third day, Colin came back again. He stood outside the camp and spoke in a low voice."I know you resent me, Merry."I was in the middle of cleaning my bow. I didn't even look up when I heard him talking to me."You're using very strong words there, Your Royal Highness."He gulped and continued, "I was blind in the past and only remember

I looked at the marriage contract in Archer's hands. It was the very same one from three years ago.The paper had yellowed with age, and the edges were worn down, but it was otherwise still preserved in pristine condition.I reached out to take the document from him and signed my name on it with a flourish.Meredith Payne.…On the day of our wedding, the snow fell over the North Camp all night long until the ground was blanketed in a layer of beautiful white snow.There was no fanfare, no carriage convoys, no betrothal gifts, and no hall filled with powerful elites and politicians.Instead, there was only a beautifully decorated courtyard hung with colorful streamers, a few barrels of wine, and the boisterous, gravelly cheers of the soldiers in the army.Archer slid the heirloom ring onto my finger. It was the only thing that I had escaped with from the Payne manor. The rest of my jewelry had already been given to Monique.But at this moment, I realized that it didn't really

The sound of the casket being pried open echoed sharply in my ears. Then, someone lifted me out and wrapped me tightly in a covering, and a bitter pill was placed into my mouth.Some oppressive force suddenly broke open in my chest, and I violently coughed up a mouthful of black blood. I also finally could feel some sensation returning to my arms and legs.I opened my eyes and saw Archer crouching before me. His features were sharper than I remembered, and yet, he still looked almost exactly like the young soldier from the borderlands whom I'd met years ago.Archer lowered his gaze to mine and spoke in a low, hoarse voice."I'm sorry, Merry. I was too late."I looked back at him and felt my tears falling before I even knew it."You weren't," I said, taking hold of his sleeve with my still-shaky hands. "Take me away, Archer."He bent down and picked me up in his arms in a bridal position."Okay. And this time, nobody can ever take you away from me."He settled me into a carri

Actually, I could still hear them. However, my limbs were rigid, and my eyelids were heavy, and I couldn't move so much as a single finger.I first heard the collective gasp of all the people in the living hall, followed by the sharp sound of a porcelain bowl crashing onto the floor.For the first time, Colin lost his composure as the Crown Prince and yelled, "Summon the royal physician! Go and get the physicians now! Go!"Someone said in a trembling voice, "But Your Royal Highness, she's already—""Shut up!"Colin seemed to have lost his mind as he clutched me in his arms, refusing to let go. I could feel his hands shaking.It reminded me of the way his hands shook when he saved me from the burning palace during the ambush in my past life, just before I slipped into unconsciousness. He'd been shaking like this too as he cradled me in his arms.But back then, I'd felt heartbroken for him, and now, I was just tired and exhausted.Mom's cries rang out soon after, but she wasn't c

The next morning, I was awakened by loud laughter outside the courtyard."The Crown Prince's betrothal gifts have arrived! I heard that there's exquisite wine made 50 years ago and a diamond tiara crafted by the top smith in the kingdom!"Most importantly, there's also a rare diamond necklace personally crafted by the late Queen herself, and it's said to be passed down only to the princess consort!"Another female voice rang out. She scoffed and said, "That bitch inside the room can't even hold a candle to Ms. Monique, of course! She's nothing but a hooligan raised on the frontier. Who does she think she is, trying to covet the princess consort spot from her?"My fists tightened against the bedding.I recognized that voice. It belonged to one of the maids, Holly Fleming, and she had nearly been beaten to death by the nanny three years ago. I took her in and gave her money for her treatment, and she dissolved into tears at my feet, swearing that she would only acknowledge me as her
