Who's Wearing My Best Friend's Face? Chapter 8
I whipped my head around, only to lock eyes with Leon.After his death, Declan had turned his corpse into a puppet, keeping him around for all these years just to deal me this fatal blow.But Declan had miscalculated the system's bug.A sudden uproar erupted outside the palace. The noise grew louder and closer. It was Bradley Shaw.He had already breached the palace gates with his army.When Declan heard the commotion, his face drained of color. "What's going on? Who's causing trouble? By my decree, order the imperial guards to suppress them immediately and execute every one of those rebels!"As soon as he said that, the courtyard doors were slammed open.A horde of heavily armored soldiers brandishing weapons surged inside.Leading the charge was none other than Bradley."My dear brother, long time no see!"Declan stumbled back several paces. Panic laced his voice as he yelled, "Bradley, how dare you revolt! Are you not afraid I'll execute your entire lineage?""Execute my

Back then, after Declan took the throne, he feared his brother Leon Shaw's influence and had him secretly poisoned.I had grieved for him for a long time, and Eleanor had even gotten into a serious fight with Declan over it.So how on earth was Leon standing right here?He walked inside step by step, his movements stiff and his face devoid of expression. It was as if everything around him meant nothing.He radiated none of the vitality of a living person. He looked far more like a puppet being pulled on strings."Leon?" My voice trembled, thick with shock and confusion. "You're… alive?"Leon didn't answer. He just kept walking toward me.The moment he came to a stop a few feet away, a sudden realization hit me.My connection to the system had been completely severed.I finally understood. The system hadn't malfunctioned. Leon's arrival had jammed its signal!Unease churned violently in my gut.Right then, Declan snapped his head up, finally stripping off his hypocritical mas

As the woman reached up to stroke her cheek, her eyes glistened with envy."I brought in the finest disguise expert in the land. But I still wanted to know what was so special about Eleanor's face that made Declan unable to forget her. So, I peeled off her face with my own hands. I wanted to see if she was filled with resentment and malice underneath that skin just like me."She spoke as if describing the weather, but a bone-chilling cold washed over me. Every drop of blood in my veins seemed to freeze solid.Peeled off her face with her own hands…How much agony must Eleanor have felt in that moment?She was so afraid of pain and so fond of pretty things, yet she was forced to endure such unspeakable torture.I ground my teeth so hard that my jaw ached. The lethal intent in my eyes was ready to swallow the woman whole.If not for the system repeatedly warning me in my ear against killing, I would have lunged forward right then and there.I wanted nothing more than to hack her

Declan went pale with horror, and he took a sharp, unsteady step backward.His eyes locked onto the unrecognizable corpse, his lips trembling. "That's impossible! Eleanor is right here! How dare you use some nameless body to slander my empress and me!"When his gaze snapped back to me, a flicker of panic flashed through his eyes. "Isabel, I'm letting this slide out of respect for your help in the past. But if you keep spouting nonsense, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy!"Watching him cling to this self-deception, I found the sight utterly ironic. All that remained was bone-chilling coldness and a raging hatred."Slander?" I let out a dark laugh. "Declan, do you dare claim you don't recognize the scars on this body? Who else could possibly carry these exact features besides her?"The illusion shattered.Declan's face turned from pale white to a sickly green. It was obvious that I had hit him right where it hurt.Beside him, the fake Eleanor had completely lost her sof

That voice, filled with a concern and panic I hadn't heard in years, cut straight through me.I pulled my strike back instantly.A woman in a magnificent gold-embroidered gown rushed in, sweat glistening at her temples. She had clearly run all the way here.That face looked identical to the Eleanor in my memories."Jaylon!" Her voice trembled as she pulled the boy tightly into her arms.Jaylon sobbed against her while pointing an accusing finger at my nose. "Mother! This crazy woman barged in with a dead body and tried to kill me! She disrespected the imperial family!""Silence!" Eleanor snapped sharply before softening her tone as she turned to me. "Isabel, I'm sorry I'm late. It really is you! You came back!"As she spoke, she gently nudged Jaylon in her arms forward. "Jaylon, apologize to Isabel right now! She's my best friend. How could she ever hurt you?"Prodded by her, Jaylon begrudgingly muttered an apology.I gave a faint reply, my focus completely on observing Eleano
Who's Wearing My Best Friend's Face? Chapter 3
The system drove the carriage at breakneck speed, but by the time we reached the palace gates, an entire night had passed.The pain of my nails digging deep into my palms did nothing to quell the panic clutching at my chest.Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was Eleanor covered in blood in this world.In five years of dissecting countless corpses, I had never been this terrified of identifying a body.I couldn't bear to imagine the horrors she must have endured.As I stood before the palace gates, my heart hammered like a war drum.Yet, a desperate part of me kept clinging to hope. Maybe the body wasn't Eleanor after all.The real Eleanor would be overjoyed to see me back, smiling as she introduced me to her child.Forcing down the murderous intent surging inside me, I pulled out the white opal pendant Eleanor had given me before I returned to the modern world.Back then, knowing we might never see each other again, she had wiped a glistening tear from the corner of her e
