lead Flor she publicly humiliated Flur at Social Gatherings ruined her husband's business and even tried to sell Flor to slave Traders thankfully the vainus has not gone that far yet early in the novel Ariana is already quite Wild but the protagonist wonders how she became this unhinged to the point of ruining someone's life she thinks about the moment Ariana went completely insane after that incident her father had told her that she was about to marry a half demon though Ariana protested Duke McGuffin said that it sounded like a perfect match a villainous and a demon
that was Ariana's last conversation with her father after her father's death Ariana disappeared for a long time then one day she suddenly reappeared in the basement of the Regal dukal residence when the Duke rushed towards the commotion he was shocked to his core Ariana had attempted to summon her father's Soul using forbidden magic which was extremely dangerous in the Empire Sebastian was Furious and locked her away and the dark Mass she summoned was burned even though she had gone off the deep end she wondered if there was still some affection left in her for her
parents the protagonist wonders if she can use dark magic too she tries to sway her hands but to no avail and decides to investigate it later whatever the case may be the important thing thing is that she is now Ariana fortunately a healthy Ariana our protagonist used to be sickly her entire life always wondering when she would die Someone who lived so close to death being in this healthy body is truly a stroke of luck for her she hopes to live her life to the fullest in this healthy body and to do that she needs
to get away from the male lead who hates her as well as her villainous husband she therefore knows she must get her divorce she wonders what is up with Sebastian in the past Sebastian agreed to marry into the McGuffin family to form an Alliance and keep the Crown Prince in check now that the McGuffin family is in debt Ariana wonders why he will not agree to a divorce she wonders if it is possible he is starting to feel sympathy towards her but she is sure that is not it either way Sebastian will not Grant her
a divorce she must make him want one therefore she decides to play the part of the original Ariana she will act like the evilest person in the world and make Sebastian so sick of her that he will be begging for a divorce and so the current Ariana decides to start the plan with the first event of her day she gathered the Capitals top designers just calling one of them would cost a fortune but she summoned all three of them Adams their travel fees alone are enormous but to her confusion she wonders why they are already
trembling when she has not even done anything yet she calmly settled down while the designers showed her the cataloges for this season she smirks saying there is no need to look and reveals how she will take everything the first step of her plan was to spend lavishly not only Irene but the madams were also astonished one of the cataloges has at least 10 dresses in it Ariana knows there is the additional price of the accessories included too wouldn't even the original Ariana be shocked by such a luxury the maid interrupts asking her lady if she
is sure about all these purchases Ariana glares at her asking if she is dissatisfied Irene simply states that it is that she is a little different than usual before the Miss could purchase all the dresses first without checking the catalog and when the Miss did not like them she would have them redone and buy the dresses for the next season season the maid Smiles brightly saying that if she wishes to end it here for today that will happen overwhelmed our protagonist says they should end it now as she needs to rest internally she has realized
Her Imagination is nothing compared to the original villainess so her first plan had failed she sighed as she really did not want to go through the second plan Sebastian knows the names of the servants despite them being over 100 it is said that he cherishes the ones who work for him her second plan is to torment the servants she decides to finish this one once and for all if she does it half-heartedly she will end up making things difficult for many she spotted a maid sweeping the corridor and approached her coldly she asked if the
maid could not see the dust the maid trembled in fear pleading for forgiveness unmoved Ariana kicked the bucket and ordered her to clean it again as she watched from a distance she told the maid she would not be leaving until the job was done the maid nodded quickly and got to work Ariana pondered whether even for the divorce she truly needed to go this far suddenly the State's Butler Oliver rushed towards them seizing the opportunity Ariana resolved to make the old man cry she explained how she had been educating this incompetent servant she expected Oliver
to be furious but to her surprise he clapped and praised her instead he inspected the maid noting that despite the chaos the lady had not harmed her hadn't prodded her with a stick like last time and had not made her bathe in the mop water hearing these atrocities Ariana was shocked to her core it seems her second plan had failed as well well the original Ariana is a whole new level woven with horrible habits now Ariana only has her last plan left although the true Ariana is a genuine villainous our protagonist would never resort to
stealing money due to her righteous nature in the past Ariana would have used any stolen funds to indulge in some fun with Playboys but unfortunately her notorious reputation had made it impossible to find anyone willing to collaborate after Sebastian leaves the study Ariana begins rummaging through his drawers hoping to find something that would infuriate him this marks the fifth time he has rejected her divorce proposal and just the sight of his face makes her want to walk away eventually she discovers a package sealed with a wax emblem it seems familiar to her and she cannot
help but wonder what it contains just then Sebastian enters his study and asks what she is doing here Ariana is surprised and quickly puts the things back into the drawer she acts casually and says she is looking through his study she is sure he will get mad when he sees her like that and will want to div divorce but to her utter surprise Sebastian pulls her in and asks if she is finally trying to act like a proper lady in her house Ariana turns confused and says yes Sebastian Smiles fondly and says she has finally
come to her senses Ariana wonders what he is talking about she asks if he saw what she was doing this confuses Sebastian Ariana yells that she tried to steal money from him Sebastian smiles and agrees he explains that taking something from someone and making it their own is the simplest and fastest way he confesses he has grown fond of this Ariana could tell he was speaking nonsense she hadn't considered that she had to watch out for that when dealing with Sebastian he is a man whose blood is half demon thanks to that Sebastian region has
the hidden skill deception people say duke region has a m a fortune thanks to his unique skill which gave him his title Ariana thinks that just now he tried to fool her with deception but no matter what he says she will not be fooled Ariana asks him if it is the family's motto to encourage stealing Sebastian asked if she also knew he was the head of the information Guild when Ariana says yes Sebastian steals her bracelet in the blink of an eye Ariana looks at her wrist shocked to see her bracelet missing Sebastian explains that
whether it is stealing information or money it is the same at least in his Guild stealing is a basic part of the job he offers to teach her his tricks if she wants the luxury plan failed tormenting his servants failed and even her last resort theft failed frustrated Ariana wonders aloud how she is supposed to get a divorce it is then she realizes she's screwed up Sebastian is taken aback by her words and approaches her closer he says it is odd that she is suddenly asking for a divorce he reminds her of how she vowed
to suck him dry of his money until he dies she also told him that he should stay Frozen as a statue as the only good thing in him is his face Ariana tells him to forget about it all and just get divorced Sebastian simply states he does not want to upon asking why Sebastian says this is what he wants to ask her he points out how he is filthy rich and so handsome that she will be happy just looking at him despite all that he asks why Ariana wants to divorce him Ariana is aware that
being the Duchess of region has many benefits plus Sebastian has ignored Ariana's affair with the Crown Prince so he might be wondering why she is suddenly asking for a divorce Sebastian must think she has other ulterior motives so Ariana knows she must return to Basics she assertively claims that it is because she does not love him Sebastian turned silent for a moment and then asked if she loved the Crown Prince Ariana is taken aback and wonders why the conversation is going this way Sebastian quickly turns away saying he asked the wrong thing because this is
obvious but when Ariana says it is not that Sebastian comments that it is good he then proposes a deal to Ariana Sebastian pulls her closer and suggests she seduces the Crown Prince and puts him on her side if she does that he will divorce her this proposal makes Ariana perplexed the scene shifts to Ariana traveling in a Carriage with Sebastian her constant sighing makes Sebastian ask the reason this makes Ariana pissed as Sebastian did not even know it was because of him she says she cannot get the Crown Prince on her side Sebastian asked if
she was trying to save face now he reminds her of how she was the one who chased after the prince even lurking in the bushes of his Palace she stole the crown Prince's invitation and grabbed the hair of the invited lady she even brandished her pocket knife and threatened to gauge the crown Prince's eyes from what they have spoken about during the Road Ariana now knows what Sebastian is thinking Sebastian supports the second Prince to become the next Emperor the Crown Prince cion who has the full support of the emperor would be pleased with him
because of that naturally Kon and Sebastian are enemies in the meantime Ariana appeared who is madly in love with the Crown Prince because of her the Crown Prince Affair received more attention with time there was even an incident where the emperor publicly spoke against him Sebastian's deal is most likely trying to capitalize on that weakness the more Ariana runs wild the more the crown Prince's position is shaken Ariana asks Sebastian how dare he try to use his own wife for this Sebastian steps back asking how dare she attempt to leave her husband and run after
another man stating that is even worse Ariana questions if he will really divorce her if she chases after the Crown Prince Sebastian smiles and says he will Ariana and Sebastian finally arrive at the Imperial Palace the building was clearly out of romance novels Sebastian explains to Arana that it is the first Royal Banquet that's been held in a while therefore the Crown Prince will be there too Sebastian tucks Ariana's hair behind her ears and expresses how she has changed he points out how she does not care even when her hair is messy Ariana blushes and
is at a loss for words Sebastian size commenting that the crazy girl concept is not so bad vexed Ariana protests it is a wild charm as the couple make their way into the banquet hall Ariana is mesmerized by the crowd If This Were before her reincarnate ation she would not have even dreamed of it being healthy lets her experience and explore places like this but her excitement doesn't last long as every eye falls on her she is soon surrounded by gossip apparently she was not coming to the banquet and the people were now wondering what
would happen if she lashed out Ariana turned awkward as they were treating her almost like a virus but she is taken aback as a man approaches her taking notice of The Shining platinum blonde hair deep dark gray eyes broad commanding physique and subtly excluding an air of grandeur Ariana could tell he was Crown Prince cion in other words he is the male lead she begins to panic wondering what to do the laws of this world are really messed up a woman living alone without reason ends up in prison it does not make sense but it
is what it is that is just how the setting Works basically if you try to run away and live on your own because divorce is a hassle you will end up in prison if she thinks about it positively if Ariana has a reason to live alone there is no obstacle to her Freedom First her goal is to make the Crown Prince hate her less than he does now but that isn't possible when the prince orders her to be expelled as soon as he sees her Ariana protests that she has not even done anything the Crown
Prince says saying this is ridiculous he agrees that today has not happened yet but that doesn't mean what happened last week is erased Ariana is confused ever since she possessed his body she has been behaving well an ambush in the crown Prince's Palace stealing invitations swinging a sword public humiliation and ostracism Kalan mentions all these things asking if he really needs to spell it all out for her he reveals how a few days ago a package with an unknown sender arrived for the CEST Ariana wonders if it could be something the original villain has sent
before The Possession Kion coldly reveals how inside the package was a box filled with Cursed Magic if there had not been a priest beside the Countess when she opened it she would have undoubtedly been cursed by now as for what was written inside the box there were curses and bad nicknames for the heroine now Ariana is sure it was the original villainess's doing kon's intense expression intimidates her Ariana feels somewhat wronged but she decides to play along for now kellion warns her not to approach the Countess or he will not let it slide Ariana agrees
with him saying he will do as he says her immediate submission surprises the prince Ariana agrees not to approach the Countess and has no intention of doing so he then tells her to get out or else he will have her thrown out before he can have her really thrown out at that moment Sebastian approaches her he then confronts the Crown Prince for speaking quite harshly to his wife he says that regardless of the curse or whatever message it contained there is no definitive proof of who sent it moreover he reminds the Crown Prince that his
wife is The Duchess and His Highness should not treat her so disrespectfully Kion mocks Sebastian reminding the Duke that his esteemed wife has asked him for a divorce he then asked why the Duke had not divorced his wife Ariana is stunned and she wonders how the Crown Prince learned about what happened at the residence cion arrogantly declares that the Duke's esteemed wife already has someone she loves Ariana was Furious by The Arrogant expression on the prince's face and asked if it was okay for the male lead to be this childish she knew the situation was
not good and suggested to Sebastian that they leave but she gets interrupted as Sebastian puts up a whole facade of adoration for his wife he says it is because he deeply loves his wife that he cannot get a divorce this takes kalana back and makes Ariana blush murmurs also filled the crowd as they wondered what was so appealing about the villainous Ariana that Duke regen found meanwhile Sebastian stares at Ariana and shyy Winks at her Ariana remains Frozen in place unable to speak she later approaches Sebastian while he is meeting with another Lord she says
they need to talk Sebastian excuses himself saying his wife wants to be with her the Lord Chuckles saying they are still in their honeymoon phase Ariana then leads Sebastian to a secluded balcony she then confronts him asking why he acted like that in front of his highness the Crown Prince earlier Sebastian explains how this will make the Crown Prince take more interest in her she tells him to give her a heads up next time as people were so shocked that they gossiped the whole time without even noticing her presence Sebastian suggests that she should have
kicked them like she usually does Ariana says she will not do such Dreadful things anymore she says his plan is unrealistic as the prince could never love her however Sebastian motivates her that she can't do it because she is the most beautiful woman on the continent Ariana remains stunned as her heart flutters he was fully patched in the Moonlight as if sprinkled with Stardust shining brightly when he said those words to her Ariana wonders if this is the effect of his seduction ability she tells Sebastian that she will accept the deal she knows the original
story so she thinks there must be a way to make the Crown Prince take an interest in her she must find it somehow Ariana however adds one more condition than exchange she explains that every time His Highness takes interest in her Sebastian must reimburse her he turns confused and asks what she is talking about Ariana explains that if she wants to live likely after the divorce she will need funds she asked for 10 gold coins for each letter and 20 gold coins for each booklet as for the other cases they can discuss them later though
Sebastian is surprised for a moment he agrees with her he hands her a few gold coins for deposit making her happy Sebastian watches her fondly commenting on how she is a unique person he then asked if he could tell her a phrase commonly used used in the back alleys of lizen Castle he reveals that you must give back what you receive otherwise you might lose your wrist his cold words make Arana shiver Sebastian Smiles telling her to keep it in mind he then leaves that night Ariana lay awake in her bed pondering over today's events
given that cion dislikes her this much it would not be surprising if she lost her head instead of her wrist she thinks the most effective method she can use is to act on behalf of the heroine in the novel floor saving kalan's life was merely the seat of love after that she continued to help him which moved him deeply and the love between the two main characters gradually grew stronger Ariana knows the original work may change but she does not care and focuses on her survival first the next morning Ariana asks her maid Irene if
there is no invitation from Countess Cardell the cardal family is one of the most prominent noble families in the Empire the family received support from the former Empress the crown Prince's mother before her death the for former Empress had her last letter to the Crown Prince in the cartel household however the people of count Cardell do not know about the existence of the letter the empress had a playful nature after all Ariana plans to find that hidden letter and deliver it to kalon then maybe cion will see her in a different light however her plan
spoils as the maid reveals how Ariana is not on good terms with the Countess basically Ariana does not like her Irene reveals how at the last Imperial ball Ariana spilled water on the contest so no invitation have come Irene heard the Countess has been terrified of Ariana Irene suggests she go anyway on the other hand at the Cal Manor the Countess is having a tea party with her close friends the noble women are constantly praising the Countess buttering up to her Countess Cardell is satisfied with all the praise sure that the women are envying her
that is the only reason she hosts tea parties however she cannot help but take notice of a noble woman who is sitting all Sullen and quiet the Countess heard her family was on the brink of collapse and if she is here hoping for crumbs she should at least try the Countess decides to teach her a lesson later the countess's attention diverts as the noble women shockingly tells her to look back the contest turns surprised as the lady Duchess region approaches her she Quivers away Ariana asked if the Countess was not going to offer her a
cup of tea the Countess internally decides not to get discouraged as this is her home the Countess explains to Ariana that there are not any spare seats so she would not be able to properly host her she wanted Ariana to leave already however the quiet Noble woman quickly Rises and offers The Duchess her seat which shocks the Countess while Ariana smiles and thanks the woman on the other hand Sebastian was watching the scene unfold from the window he came here because he had something to discuss with count Cardell but wonders what Ariana is doing here
according to what he knew she disliked the count family the count also sees The Duchess out the window and is shocked he mentions how the contest did not get the invitation to the Tea Party Sebastian's expression turns dark and he asks when she becomes someone who needs an invitation to come the count is taken aback by the Duke's confrontation and apologizes he excuses himself to check on his wife Sebastian permits him saying that if his wife causes more trouble the Countess will be in a difficult position count Cardell thanks the Duke and says he will
be back soon Sebastian remembers how Ariana spilled water on the lady's head the last time the excuse was that her hair caught on fire to him it seems today might not go smoth smoothly either after the count leaves Sebastian's subordinate comes into the room he is surprised as Sebastian reveals how The Duchess is here a subordinate mentioned how The Madam mentioned divorce again yesterday he asks why the Duke keeps rejecting it he mentions how the Duke can easily countersue and take a large alamy payment the Duke remains quiet he is aware that those who like
him hate Ariana they say she tarnishes the reputation of the Reagan dukal family and that she does not belong in their household she is a notorious villainous and vicious woman however these things did not matter to Sebastian because he liked her when he reveals this to his subordinate he is left shocked the truth is the Duke has liked Ariana from the start she is the first woman who was not swayed by his charm plus he knows Ariana has changed this time before she was like a bull charging ahead blindly but now she is more like
a fox and he looks forward to it but whatever Ariana does Sebastian knows she will eventually get devoured by The Wolf on the other hand things were getting out of hand hand when Ariana had finally gotten the chance to settle down on the tea table she could not bear the tense atmosphere all the ladies were on high alert Ariana spots her necklace from the novel and questions if it is the dragon's necklace the Countess knows it is an impressive necklace when even the infamous duess recognizes it she boasts about how it is a gift from
her husband Ariana Smiles commenting on how beautiful it is this makes the others wonder if she wants the necklace one of the ladies speaks up reminding The Duchess that the necklace is an expression of count card's love for his wife the others also step in telling her not to take it their intervention makes the Countess Fear The Duchess even more she is aware Ariana is a witch who freely uses curses that even high ranking priests cannot easily purify and if she gets upset and starts acting out here the contest will be doomed meanwhile Ariana's confusion
wonders when did she ever desire the necklace she wonders if seeing its beautiful is code for something else in this world of romance novels she only wanted to compliment the necklace to lighten the mood she knows she needs to diffuse the situation for herself but before she can say it is a misunderstanding the Countess gasps out of fear she is reminded of what happened the last time and screams in fear but when everything remains quiet the Countess wonders if she overreacted The Duchess was not angry she knows that if she does not give The Duchess
her necklace that woman will surely get her revenge the contest does not mind being cursed but if it affects her husband she cannot wear her putting her priv aside she confesses that she wants to give the necklace to her with tears in his eyes she tells Ariana to just take it meanwhile Ariana is shocked to her core wondering why the Countess is giving it to her hariana quickly clarifies that she appreciates her thoughts but that is not why she came here the Countess asks if she came to get something else she assures Ariana that there
is nothing more valuable than this suddenly the blue-haired noble woman approaches Ariana and hands her handkerchief Ariana wonders who this is and if she is telling her to console the Countess with the handkerchief Ariana takes it from her and softly asks the Countess not to cry but the Countess misunderstood her intentions again she wonders how much the original Ariana tormented the Countess as she looks so pitiful the Countess apologizes to Ariana saying that they should end the tea party here as she is not feeling well she then hurries away Ariana comes to realize that she
might have a talent for snatching things with that Talent she has acquired the legendary dragon necklace it is a precious piece of jewelry crafted from the shed skin of a dragon adorned with the most radiant fire rupee its value is beyond monetary estimation it is a precious item that could easily be exchanged for an entire mind with this she would not have to care about seducing The Prince and bowing down to some unlucky guy for a few gold coins but thinking back on all the oppression Ariana had caused she could not she asks the countess's
made to tell her master that she is requesting a meeting with the count she may have lived as a commoner but she cannot just accept something like this a meeting is soon arranged Ariana reveals to the count how his wife gifted her the dragon necklace she says she is returning at shocking the count she explains that it is a bit too extravagant of a gift for her she decides to play her card now returning the necklace and getting the empress's letter it is like hitting two birds with one stone she suggests they make an exchange
later on the carriage ride back Ariana is happy that she finally got what she wanted the letter from the former Empress Margaret she knew there was something hidden in the painting but she did not expect it to be so shabby in the original story The heroine fumbled her way to finding it honestly Ariana is a little regretful about returning the necklace yet the sense of relief is very profound and with this letter she is sure she will win the favor of the Crown Prince plus trading a National Treasure necklace for this worn out portrait when
people find out they will be shocked and say Ariana has profoundly changed it is a completely win-win situation however Ariana is shocked by the spread of the news it was said that the duchess snatched an expensive artwork from the count and assaulted the Countess cardal she did not know the painting was so valuable as it just looked like a portrait of some old man to her on the other hand Sebastian was proud of Ariana for bringing a painting worth a million gold Ariana tells him to give it back as she wants to return it Sebastian
looks at Ariana with puppy eyes asking why she is saying that he explains that since she stepped inside his house it is his now plus he touched it first Ariana explains that her reput reputation has taken a hit again because of the painting and she cannot let it slide Sebastian asked when she cared so much about her reputation he tells her to live just the way she always has as there is no point in worrying about her reputation now she has already reached Rock Bottom Ariana feels like she is trapped behind an invisible wall all
the things the original character has done are selfish and utterly Wicked to people Ariana is nothing but a devil a figure consumed by pure evil no matter how much she tries to live as herself even if she tries to help and care about someone this world will always see her through the character's evilness she scoffs mumbling aloud how she has no allies Sebastian stares at her Sullen expression and asks if she really thinks he is not on her side either Ariana's heart skips a beat she tells him to shut up for once as it is
all his fault Sebastian thinks about how it has only been a day but once again his wife has shaken this country everywhere he goes people are talking about Ariana but the fact that he discussed raising taxes with the count cardal yesterday no one cares about that people are always more attracted to gossip than dull politics Ariana region the woman who captures everyone's attention with her Allure she can do whatever she wants as freely and quietly but there is one thing she cannot do she cannot leave Sebastian as he is the darkness that only finds freedom
in her light so he hopes she will be free but only by his side and until he allows it Sebastian is shocked to see that Ariana has received a letter Ariana reads the sender to be Jasmine Smith and wonders who it is the woman revealed through the letter how it was her first time writing to her she reveals how she found herself in an awkward situation yesterday because she is shy and not particularly good at speaking she could not join the conversation with the other young ladies she received subtle hints that she was not fitting
him Ariana realizes she is the young lady who handed her the handkerchief yesterday the lady thanks Ariana for her presence as it saved her from being scolded by the Countess Ariana is happy to receive this letter it seems like the story is still progressing as it reads the original but there is no guarantee that the future will be like the original so Ariana knows she must act quickly and follow the heroin's actions in this world no one cared about the slums but the heroine FL built an orphanage there with her own money she even possesses
the qualities of a sword master the royal family greatly appreciated Flora's efforts and honored her achievements that is when the heroin's position solidified but now Ariana plans to steal it in score points with the Crown Prince Ariana reaches the Imperial Palace she had failed to get an invitation but she let them know she would be coming she hopes the Crown Prince will at least show his face but to her disappointment Kon had denied her entry she asks the Imperial Guard to hand over the Crown Prince a letter as he will allow her in once he
sees it but an hour later Ariana was still waiting for the Crown Prince soon the Imperial Guard approached her and apologized for making her wait so long he revealed how entry is not permitted the guard reveals how His Highness read Ariana's letter and told her to get lost Ariana is frustrated she works so hard to get that letter and now Kalan just takes the letter and kicks her out using the letter was Ariana's attempt to improve her relationship with the prince she thought it was a brilliant plan so she did not prepare any alternatives but
she failed she wonders if she should just go ahead and build an orphanage if she does some charity work he will realize that she has changed her thoughts get distracted as a woman approaches her Ariana's eyes widened as she recognized the lady as the Angelic character the embodiment of goodness in the story The Savior of the Crown Prince and the most definitive figure of all Flor William Ariana is Bewitched as she stares at the heroine of the novel standing right before her eyes when Ariana does not respond to flor's greeting she asks if she is
rude Ariana says she could not respond right away as the sunlight was in her eyes Flor Smiles in relief Ariana could tell Flur seemed nervous when they met but Ariana might have been more nervous than she was Ariana has done a lot of terrible things to flor in the original story those things only got worse over time in the end Ariana was executed because her harassment of Flor enraged Kon therefore Ariana thinks she must remember that in front of Flor she is a sinner to survive she needs to be on her good side she exchanges
pleasantries with Flor even though Ariana bullied her so much Flor does not seem to Harbor any ill feelings this makes her wonder if this is what it means to be a graceful heroine Flor asks where she is coming from Ariana explained she had just tried to request an audience with the Crown Prince but was turned away Flora smirks and coldly agrees her response takes Ariana a back Flor explains she is on her way to see the Crown Prince now and will make sure to tell him that she ran into Ariana Ariana then leaves wondering if
she just imagined it all when Ariana left Flor stared at her hard Ariana is sure Flor must know that she has a thing for the Crown Prince and there is no way she could remember so why would she pretend like that it seemed strange to her it feels like Flor is certainly mocking her she might be just imagining things she Chuckles and decides there is no way as the heroine's character is supposed to be the nicest person in this entire story it seems Flor is just that sweet she also remembers how frustrated she was to
get rid of the original story because Flor was so naive basically she was kind of a pushover also Ariana was so twisted and that personality is still lingering in this body which is probably why the protagonist is turning negative she decides not to jump to conclusions as time will tell the truth who knows the bad blood in the original story might turn into something better she gets cut off from her thoughts as she finds Sebastian standing nearby she remembers how she wrote him a note before she left for the Imperial Palace she even put a
heart in the end she regrets being so overconfident now she has ended up getting kicked out and feeling all awkward she nervously stepped out of the carriage surprisingly Sebastian was in a bad mood he coldly asks what on Earth did she do to her Ariana clarified that she did not do anything Sebastian glared at her and told her not to lie he shows her a letter asking why the Crown Prince sent him this message Ariana quickly takes it from him the letter was an invitation by the Crown Prince to Duke regen and his wife to
come to the Palace immediately it said that they would have to pay for messing with his woman Ariana is confused and wonders what is happening the Duke asked what on Earth she did to the Crown Prince for him to send something like this Ariana swears she did nothing and did not miss anyone she explains how she just ran into floor by chance and greeted her the Duke s and says they should go to the Palace they enter the Imperial estate and are Guided by a guard to the Crown Prince Ariana discreetly discloses to Sebastian how
the guard insulted her earlier and told her to get lost Sebastian asks what she wants him to do about it this annoys Ariana and she asks if he is not mad that people talk trash about his wife Sebastian playfully asked if she had not been told to get lost enough times besides she is the one with insults he reminds her how she told Duchess pinin that she looked like a grain of rice Ariana is surprised and says she must apologize soon she says she needs to quiet down the rumors about her somehow Sebastian looks at
her with a perplexed expression Ariana thinks it is so complicated that a simple apology will not do anything she needs to improve herself to have a peaceful life after that she contemplates if she should disappear somewhere quiet for a few years and live a peaceful life in a secluded place she could buy a small house and start a little Garden surrounded by all the things she loved just imagining it makes her happy Sebastian questioned whether the rumors really needed to be quelled in his opinion the more notorious she became the more advantageous it would be
