All Chapters of Buried Alive, Crowned Instead: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The moment I finished speaking, my younger half-brother finally woke up from his unconscious state."Jonathan, no!"He stumbled toward me and dropped to his knees. His handsome, refined face, the kind that belonged to a gentle scholar, was filled with panic."Your marriage to General Smith was arranged when we were children. How can you break it off because of me? I've always had a miserable fate. To be chosen to accompany the eldest princess in death is a blessing I could never have dreamed of."He clenched his fists and looked at Christine."General Smith, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm not someone who would cling to life out of fear of death."Seeing my cold reaction, Christine had still been somewhat hesitant. But after hearing Nathan's determined words, every trace of hesitation disappeared. She immediately helped him back to his feet."There's no need to say anything else. Right now, you're the only one who can marry me and save both your lives."She turned back to m

A sharp crack echoed through the room.It was the sound of a bone being dislocated.The smug smile on Nathan's face instantly twisted into pain. A layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead."Jonathan, that's not what I meant. I-I only..."Before he could finish, a sword was pressed against my face.Christine looked at me with nothing but disappointment in her eyes."Why do you have to be so aggressive? I was the one who chose to marry Nathan. He only feels guilty because of what happened, and he wants you to stay by his side after this. But why do you insist on looking at him with such ugly thoughts?"I stared at the sword pointed at me. The color slowly drained from my lips."So what now? Are you going to kill me for him?"I had never imagined that the sword that had always been pointed at my enemies would one day be turned against me.A flash of panic crossed Christine's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure."Jonathan, I never wanted to hurt you, but Nathan has

Christine's heart jolted violently.Her eyes soon found me. Mounted on my horse, I wore a metal mask and white wedding attire, looking every bit like someone who belonged above the mortal world.His expression twisted with disbelief and resentment.From where I sat, I quietly took in the hatred and unwillingness in Nathan's eyes.Christine stood frozen in place, unable to move, until the leading guard's furious voice rang out."General Smith, step aside. Do stand in the way of Her Highness and her prince consort's wedding ceremony!"Inside the carriage, Selena had rosy cheeks and bright, lively eyes. There was no trace of someone who was supposedly on the verge of death.Unable to believe what she was seeing, Christine murmured the question in her heart out loud."Why... is the princess still alive?"The moment those words left her mouth, everyone around her changed expressions.The guards immediately shouted."How dare you! Who gave you the right to question Her Highness's

The expressions of everyone present changed, yet Nathan continued speaking to me as though he were completely unaware."Jonathan, I've given up my place for you. Are you happy now? From now on, one of us will become Her Highness's prince consort, while the other will become the husband of a female general. Together, we'll make a powerful team. I'm sure even Father will be proud of us."I looked at him strangely."Nathan, have you lost your mind?"The excitement on Nathan's face instantly froze.Selena laughed coldly."Do you take me for some beggar who picks through scraps? A man who has already been used by someone else actually dares to dream of becoming my prince consort?"The ministers around us immediately burst into laughter."Today has truly been entertaining. I never thought the Prime Minister would have such a shameless illegitimate son. The moment he heard Princess Selena was dying, he rushed to seduce his own sister-in-law. Now that the princess has recovered, he can

Selena was stunned for a moment.But soon, she would understand exactly what I meant.Half a month later, an urgent report arrived from the front lines.Christine had led 30,000 soldiers to attack the kingdom of Eldoria, but she was completely defeated by an army of only 10,000.Not only did she lose 5,000 elite soldiers, but she had nearly been shot through the heart and captured as a prisoner.Rumor had it that she had begged Salvador to give up one city in exchange for sparing her life.On the day she returned to the capital to report, Salvador's face was dark with anger.Giving away a city had not only humiliated him but also destroyed the reputation her ancestors had built over generations of military achievements."Your Majesty, the enemy used a cunning scheme. I was careless and fell into their trap. Please grant me another 20,000 soldiers. I swear I will capture every city in Eldoria."Salvador threw the report in his hand directly at her. He was so furious he nearly p
