Episode 117
Marquis Henry laughed out loud as if he was satisfied with my answer.
Actually, no matter how much, you are Freya’s daughter, so your personality is very similar to Selena.
He smiled and got up from his seat and headed off somewhere.
Suddenly, I was alone and looked around slowly.
He followed it very well.
Of course, it was a look I could only see acted out on TV, not something sincere, but it wasn’t easy to mimic something I had never seen before.
You could feel how sincere Marquis Enrique was with Selena, even in the smallest detail.
Come on, this one.
The Marquis, who had just returned, handed me some thick notebooks.
Selena said that someday she would give someone this journal, but at the time I thought it was a lie.
I slowly touched the outer surface of the old notebook with my fingertips.
Looking at the glossy cover, I could see how many times the Marquis had touched the journal.
I’ll take a look at it and return it.
No. Now it’s time for you to keep it.
The Marquis smiled bitterly.
I looked at the time and finally asked him.
Why me? Tatiana must be there too.
I looked at the time and finally asked him.
The Grand Duchess is from this world. When she visited the mansion, she felt very uncomfortable with this form.
It was an incredible story.

Ethan was waiting outside Andrew and Julius’ meeting place.
Although he was the head of state, he could not intervene in such a position.
Ethan. Do you have something to worry about?
What? Oh, no. I don’t. Oh, no. I don’t.
Ethan shook his head at the advisor’s words.
He felt as if he was being influenced by the absurd lies the woman had told him.
«No, it could be true…»
Ethan was an investigator before he became a householder.
The report he showed me was really beyond doubt.
The reasoning put in the middle was also plausible, so when he read it, it seemed like such a thing really happened.
Doubt had already taken root in Ethan’s depths.
He’s the same kind of person as the trash.
Ethan remembered the first time he met Raymond as a child.
His mother introduced the boy as his brother.
A pretty face, pink hair like cotton candy.
Raymond was a boy who caught people’s attention with a look.
It was absurd to see him trying so hard to be seen by the people around him on the subject of the Cassel name.
A wretched child.
Every time he saw people who had been cold to him treating Raymond with unflinching faces, his stomach turned.
A guy with no magic.
That’s what he thought at the time.
And it wasn’t long before he accidentally overheard what his mother and father were saying.
«Knowing that child was a defective product, bring him into the family!»
Her father’s voice could be heard all the way down the hall.
While reading a book in the library, Ethan quickly ducked under the desk.
The two raised their voices and struggled.
That day, Ethan discovered Raymond’s secret.
A boy with an out-of-this-world appearance was a failure.
[a waste]
The first time he called him that, Raymond was terrified that someone would notice.
He became more and more submissive to him.
As time went on, more and more people within the Cassel family noticed Raymond’s identity.
People gradually began to avoid Raymond.
Seeing that, Ethan became convinced.
Raymond is going to die soon.
Then I wish you all the best in the future, Grand Duke.
Ethan stood up when he heard the door open.
Julius and the Archduke shook hands one last time and smiled at each other.
Ethan, come and bid farewell to His High Majesty the Grand Duke.
Yes sir.
He was the one who would continue the family in the future.
If the Archduke really did become emperor, it would be best to maintain ties now.
Ethan silently followed the Archduke.
He noticed that the Archduke deliberately turned around and walked.
Sir, do you have something to tell me?
Andrew turned around and smiled slightly.
So, shall we sit down and talk for a moment?
Ethan felt a sense of softness for some reason.
I heard that you and Karina saw each other separately a while back.
Did you? Wow, the princess and…she followed us?
Oh, right.
Obviously, when they met, she checked thoroughly to make sure no one else knew.
The princess wasn’t an easy person to follow either.
And, above all, why are you asking about Princess Pioneer? The Archduke didn’t have a wife anymore!
Yeah, I’ve got something to talk about for a while….
Ethan looked Andrew in the eyes and closed his mouth.
He saw a tinted black shadow in the Imperial family’s signature purple eyes and then it was gone.
Goosebumps rose all over his body.
Well, can you tell me what’s been going on?
It was a nice smile.
But Ethan felt a shiver of fear.
It was unknown if it was because of the fear he felt for the Archduke, or if it was because of his magical powers.
But this was certain.
He looked like a monster
Ethan opened his mouth, trying not to tremble.
N, we met separately to come to an agreement, saying that we want the lawsuit dropped from our side.
Mmm.
He looked like he didn’t believe it.
But it didn’t look like it was going to hurt him at this point.
I don’t want you to meet Karina separately in the future. Especially if you want to work closely with me, you must remember this.
Yes.
Ethan shook his head at the Archduke’s words.
And what Karina said is probably correct. Unfortunately, it is.
Andrew said that and got up.
You don’t have to follow me. I’ll go first.
Without a moment to catch up, Andrew left.
Ethan sat there, doing nothing until he walked away.

After talking to the marquis, I went for a walk with Helen.
But I couldn’t concentrate on the conversation at all.
I felt sorry for her, but my mind was filled with thoughts of going back and checking Selena’s diary.
As soon as I got back to the mansion, I checked her diary.
You were just like me.
Selena wrote her diary in Korean.
The happy times from the moment she possessed this world were all written down.
The diary revealed how bright and energetic Selena was.
And the tragedy that came after was starkly prepared.
It was painful to read the story of her exhaustion.
Finally, it was the last volume of the diary.
At the end of the horrible story, there was a letter from Selena to me.
[This is all about the bracelet. I have been wearing this bracelet for a long time and had never thought about the cost].
She was also aware of the distorted magic that was a side effect of the bracelet.
And the fact that that magic power has a great effect on the people of the royal family.
She wrote down the things that she deeply regretted and that she should be careful about using it.
[1. Don’t build too many favors in a short period of time.
The speed of being eroded by distorted magic increases].
Most of them I already knew.
I read the description of the bracelet to be sure.
And around the fifth element, something came up that I didn’t know.
[5. Don’t use too many of the items.
The items are created based on my life force.
I found this out just before I found out I was going to die.
It was my greed that ruined me].
The last item was really shocking.
Nonsense.
I read that part again. The articles are my life.
It wasn’t the Emperor’s fault Selena died, it was his fault.
«And what about Tatiana?»
I often used the power of tears.
I wonder if even I know that if Tatiana cries, the male protagonists will do anything for her.
I turned the last page with trembling hands.
[The bracelet is returned to its owner even if it is thrown away.
And when the time comes for the owner to die, it forced my body to move to find another owner, or even a host.
The more I used the power of the bracelet, the more I felt my mental age receding.
This bracelet is not a blessing. it was a curse.
Please, I hope you manage to get rid of this bracelet].
The diary ended there.
As soon as I closed the diary, I took off the bracelet I was wearing and threw it away.
I got scared.
That bracelet, this world.
Did I think a bracelet with such a powerful power would work magic at no cost?
I was too lazy.
Lily!
Yes, miss.
Hey, take this bracelet.
Yes?
Hurry up, take it off quickly. Oh yes! Throw it in the river!
Lily looked surprised, but took the bracelet without saying a word.
I couldn’t fall asleep until I heard from her that she tied the bracelet to a stone and threw it into the river.
On the table, a bracelet wet with water emitted a faint light.
