Chapter 1: The Man Who Killed Me

In a grand hall adorned with all kinds of jewels, exhibiting simply how a lot cash was spent on it,

Slap-

The person who ruthlessly slapped me throughout my face was none apart from my fianc, Damian Keane Daeus, the Grand Duke.

His emerald inexperienced irises went alongside nicely along with his sharp eyes that angled upwards.

They appeared to stare at me, not as his fianc, however as an entire enemy. The deep animosity in direction of me was clearly seen in his eyes.

You dare make Lilian cry?

I tasted the bitter blood in my mouth and felt my cheek start to swell. However I, the one who had simply been slapped, didnt really feel something.

There was as soon as a time once I believed that the person in entrance of me, who was at the moment satisfied I had accomplished one thing I hadnt, was my destined soulmate.

However not anymore.

The one feeling left in me was not love, hate, or resentment however mere annoyance.

With out saying something, I slowly shifted my gaze to the slender girl Damian was holding, Lilian.

Lilian, a lady with beautiful, lengthy orange hair. Her giant and delightful, deep pink eyes had been full of giant, spherical tears.

With an look so stunning that one would consider her as a portray, she gently lifted the corners of her mouth whereas holding onto Damians arm and mentioned,

Im alright, Damian.

After saying so, Lilian gave me what was clearly a mocking smile. As if she had been the victor.

I checked out Lilian expressionlessly and shifted my gaze again to my fianc.

Then I known as his identify softly,

Damian.

Together with his jet-black hair, distinctive nostril, dazzlingly white pores and skin, and shiny emerald eyes, he was undeniably good-looking.

Just some years in the past, there have been days once I would observe him round after falling in love with him at first sight.

However, after all, he by no means spared me a single look. So as a way to entice his consideration, I used the therapeutic potential that had been handed down by means of the Earl Serkia household and cured his long-term sickness.

After witnessing my potential, Damian proposed to me, and regardless of figuring out that he was utilizing me, I foolishly accepted his proposal.

I used to be only a nominal fianc, however I assumed if I put within the effort, he may look again at me at the least as soon as.

Aren.

The one occasions my fianc known as me in a candy voice was when he had accidents, however to me, these had been the one moments I may contact his physique.

His therapy in direction of me was considerably bearable till at some point, after persevering with to delay the wedding by means of numerous excuses, he instantly introduced a lady named Lilian.

Aren, heal this girl. Please.

On the request of my fianc, I saved the lifetime of a lady who was on the point of demise with my therapeutic skills.

The place is that this?

Are you awake now?

When the lady, who gave the impression to be on the verge of demise, opened her eyes, Damian was overjoyed.

Naturally, all of Damians consideration shifted to Lilian.

Nicely, Ive witnessed Damian and Lilian sharing love in my very own bed room, so she was basically the true mistress of the dukes home.

Hah

With that, all my feelings started to fade away.

I had lived with Damian within the dukes mansion for 3 years.

Via the three years that might be thought-about a protracted but quick interval, I spotted that every one my efforts had been futile.

Why did I solely notice this now?

No. The truth is, I had identified this for a very long time.

It was simply that I liked the person earlier than me a lot that I selected to show away and deny the reality.

Damian. If that’s what you would like

Im giving up on every thing.The supply of this content material nov(el)bi((n))

Lets break our engagement.

What?

Upon listening to my phrases, Damian made a dumb expression, as if he had heard one thing he shouldnt have.

The intruder will now take their go away, so the 2 of now you can stay fortunately ever after by yourself.

Aren!

Damian shouted my identify in anger. I may see a mirrored image by means of his inexperienced eyes.

It was the reflection of a platinum-haired girl who was devoid of any emotion.

I briefly gazed at my reflection in his eyes earlier than eradicating the engagement ring from my left ring finger.

It was the diamond ring that I had by no means taken off since I bought engaged to him. Pulling off what I as soon as believed to be an emblem of our love, I threw it onto the ground with none remorse.

Ping-

Due to his cussed daughter, he had given each type of reward one may give to the Grand Duke, however then went to the battlefield and didnt make it again.

However my father, who ought to have handed away two years in the past, is nicely and alive earlier than my eyes proper now.

Father!

Even forgetting that I used to be nonetheless in nightwear after simply opening my eyes, I jumped into my fathers arms, and his physique stiffened in shock.

Aren?

Father Father This isnt a dream, is it?

I continued calling out to my father. Though startled by my sudden conduct, Father quickly patted my again along with his huge hand.

My beloved daughter.

Father

It looks like you had a scary dream.

My fathers heat voice reached my ears.

Dream?

These painful recollections had been all only a dream?

It couldnt have been only a dream that I misplaced my life at Damians fingers.

The depressing days on the dukes mansion, the ache of being stabbed within the coronary heart, his chilly face wanting down at me as if I had been a mere slab of meat, my last moments as I collapsed and writhed on the floorthey had been all so vivid.

I slowly loosened my fingers from hugging my father and held his hand as a substitute, then requested,

Father, you mentioned at this time is my birthday, proper? What yr is it now?

Huh? Isnt it Imperial Calendar 12 months 829?

Imperial Calendar 12 months 829? Not 833?

Hahah, Aren, its the Imperial Calendar 12 months 829. Youre nonetheless half-asleep. Hurry up and prepare, then come to the eating room. I instructed the chef to arrange all of your favourite dishes.

After listening to what Father mentioned, I used to be perplexed.

The yr 829 within the Imperial Calendar. June fifteenth. My twentieth birthday.

By some accident, I had come again to the previous. Again to my birthday 4 years in the past.

Was this a chance given by God, who felt pity for me being thrown away after getting used?

No matter occurred, I couldnt miss this chance. I wanted to ensure I didnt die at Damians fingers once more.

One lucky factor was that presently, Damian had a illness that even a famend physician couldnt treatment, and he didnt know that I used to be the one one who may treatment it.

Can I take advantage of this to steer him to his downfall?

Nevertheless, there was nothing extra silly than approaching Damian with none preparations. If that’s the case, the one who can be on the improper finish of the blade can be me.

So as a way to deliver Damian down, I have to put together totally.

I would like somebody robust sufficient to guard our household and go to the battlefield rather than my father.

Then an individual who met all these circumstances flashed by means of my thoughts.

Among the many individuals I knew within the empire, there was just one particular person stronger than Damian.

Cassadin.

Regardless of being a slave, he turned the Commander of the Royal Knights after being chosen by the Crown Prince. It was additionally a reputation I had usually heard once I stayed at Damians Duchy.

The God of Battle, the closest aide of the Crown Prince, magnificence blessed by the Gods, the Genius of Swordsmanship that solely seems as soon as in a millennium

There have been numerous phrases that described Cassadin, however that was in my previous life.

Throughout this time, Cassadin was neither the Commander of the Royal Knights nor the closest aide of the Crown Prince, however only a gladiator slave.

I cant lose my father to the struggle once more.

Within the Seville Empire, it was a nationwide regulation that, no matter social standing, one man from every household should go to battle when there was a struggle.

There was an exception if there have been no males within the household, however in any other case, no matter age, they need to go to struggle. Violation of this might consequence within the lack of the Aristocracy, confiscation of property, and even demise.

On this sense, I made a decision to make Cassadin a member of our household.

He can be the one who would go to struggle rather than my father and return alive, and he was the one particular person in your complete continent who was stronger than Damian, the person who killed me.

I might snatch him earlier than the Crown Prince may get his fingers on him, increase him nicely, feed him nicely, and tame him, then make him a blade to guard me and my father.

After leaving a message that he can be ready for me within the eating room and that I ought to change earlier than going out, Father left my room. I modified my garments with the assistance of a maid and stared at myself within the mirror on my dressing desk.

Wavy platinum hair, blue eyes similar to my fathers, and pores and skin and not using a single blemish or wrinkle.

My twenty-year-old self, wanting a lot youthful than earlier than, had regressed and was clearly mirrored within the mirror. I as soon as once more realized that I had returned to the previous.

Youre so stunning, my girl.

My private maid, Sasha, admired my face. Eyes curling into crescents at Sashas phrases, I smiled at her.

I at all times had excessive shallowness once I was residing within the counts mansion with Father, however that shallowness plummeted after I bought engaged to Damian.

My three years of engagement with him had been hell. I used to be like a pet wagging its tail to get affection from its proprietor.

Again then, I repeatedly craved his love, at the same time as I used to be consistently utilized by him like a instrument.

Nevertheless, that outdated me is now gone. If its to guard my father and me, I might totally use others.

Gazing into the mirror, I made a vow to myself.
