Duke Killian, Please Marry Me Again!의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

“Prepare yourself. You will marry Duke Lunnart.”The deep voice echoed softly within the emperor’s study, filling every corner of the vast room scented with aged wood and stacks of imperial documents. The late afternoon sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting long lines across the cold marble floor.Roxanne Florentia de Magnor stood silently in the middle of the room.Her gaze was fixed on the emperor’s back—her own father, who stood facing the window, speaking without once turning to look at her.That sentence, that tone and that moment. Everything… was the same.As if the world had been deliberately rewound just to toy with her.Roxanne’s fingers slowly curled at the sides of her gown. Her chest tightened, not out of shock, but because she already knew this would happen.This was not the first time she had heard that command.A week ago, she had opened her eyes… alive once more.Not on the cold stone floor of Lunnart Castle. Not with a shattered body after throwing herse

Knock. Knock. Knock.A soft tapping echoed from the chamber door.“Come in,” Roxanne said without turning.The door opened slowly. Orla, her loyal maid, stepped inside with a respectful posture. Her dress was simple, yet neatly arranged as always. In her hands, she carried an intricately carved box.“Your Highness,” she greeted softly with a bow before walking closer.Roxanne did not respond immediately. Her gaze remained fixed outside the window, as if she had yet to fully return from her own thoughts.Orla placed the box on the table before her.“What is this?” Roxanne finally asked, her voice flat.“Jewelry belonging to the late queen,” Orla answered carefully. “His Majesty the Emperor ordered the treasury to deliver it to you.”Roxanne looked at the box. Everything was exactly the same as before.In her previous life, she had refused to wear them. She knew Duke Lunnart preferred simplicity a woman who was not excessive, not eye-catching, not adorned in glittering jewels.And so, s

That morning, Roxanne walked slowly through the garden behind the main palace. The air was still fresh, a thin layer of dew clinging to the leaves, and the sunlight had yet to fully rise. Ever since the marriage discussions began, she had been staying in the main palace rather than her own residence. Because of that, encountering others had become unavoidable.Ahead of her, two figures were already standing.Prince Leon and his younger sister, Princess Liora.Leon was her half-brother, the son of the empress who now stood beside the emperor. Many believed he was the most suitable candidate for crown prince. Nevertheless, the emperor could not betray the late empress any further.No matter what, Rion remained the rightful heir.“Good morning, Second Prince and Second Princess,” Roxanne greeted politely.“Good morning to you as well, First Princess,” Leon replied calmly.Liora merely gave a brief nod, saying nothing.“Brother, let’s leave,” Liora said suddenly, her tone clearly displea

The banquet was lively. The hall was filled with laughter, the clinking of glasses, and overlapping conversations. One by one, the nobles stepped forward to greet the emperor and empress including Killian Lunnart, who stood with his usual calm composure.Yet strangely, Roxanne felt something was different. She kept feeling a gaze. The same gaze repeated, constant, impossible to ignore.She didn’t need to turn to know who it was.Killian.Roxanne tried to remain calm, standing beside Rion while returning the guests’ smiles. But her heart refused to cooperate. Its pounding grew louder… faster.This wasn’t like before.In her previous life, Killian had never truly looked at her. After greeting the emperor, he would leave as if there was no reason to stay any longer.But now… he was still here.And he kept looking at her.Roxanne lifted the glass in her hand and took a sip. Once. Twice. She had already lost count.“Sister,” Rion’s voice came from beside her, slightly concerned, “you’ve ha

Stefanie’s words instantly changed the atmosphere in the room.The emperor, who had been trying to control his anger until now, finally lost his temper completely. His expression hardened, and his sharp gaze turned toward her.“What did you just say?” His deep voice echoed through the room.Stefanie quickly lowered her head even further, but it was already too late. Everyone had heard her accusation clearly.“I did not mean to insult the First Princess, Your Majesty—”“Then what exactly did you mean?” the emperor shouted.The room froze instantly.Even Rion flinched at the sudden rise in his father’s voice. Meanwhile, Liora sat stiffly in silence, not daring to speak at all.Stefanie looked panicked, but she still tried to defend herself.“I only thought this situation was too sudden,” she said carefully. “After all, the Duke rejected this marriage before. So I simply wondered… whether all of this truly happened naturally.”“How dare you imply that my daughter trapped the heir of Hous
