Chapter 1

Someone said that the ending was the start of a new beginning, and the beginning was the start of a new end.

Help!

Argh!

Sa-save!

Even though we barely knew their names, it was terrifying to see the beginning and the end.

Please, my life! Argh!

The sound seemed to be clearer because I had my eyes closed. When I tried to open my eyes, blood redder than the red carpet of Alsil got on my palm, staining it.

Well, I had nothing to do with it!

Without raising my head, I only looked at the ground. It was easy to know what was happening around me just by sound alone.

Oh my god!

My head began to throb because of the sound of my heart ringing in my ears.

Your Highness

I raised my head in a mournful voice. It was my father who knelt down in front of his opponent with a knife.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

The second prince was dead. And Kaiden Abelard, who we thought would step down from the throne, usurped the throne on the day of the Emperors death.

Please spare my father!

He held a knife and held it playfully by my fathers neck.

Evelina.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I was his fiancee and the daughter of the Logias family who killed his mother.

Why do you say that?

He withdrew the knife from my father, Marquis Logios, and said,

Rather, it would be better for you to kill the Marquis of Logias.

I raised my head at the words and examined his face to ascertain his intentions. I was confused for a moment by his expression that seemed like he meant it.

Please, Your Majesty. Please dont kill my father!

Youll regret it.

Your Majesty.

Regret not killing the Marquis of Logias now.

He approached me with a gentle smile.

However, if that is your will, I wont.

Ah, thank you.

If you marry me as promised.

With a very harmless face, as if hadnt cut off my fathers hands just now.

~~~~

I was eight years old when I possessed this body.

Originally, I was named Bell and grew up in a poor house. Then, fortunately, I was adopted by the Marquis of Logias.

Honey! Our Lina is alive!

The Marquis lost his mind after losing his daughter Evelina Logias, who was the same age as me, and mistook me for his daughter when he saw me.

The reason why they originally supported the poor was that they started in the hope that their short-lived daughter would die and go to heaven. So when he saw me in the poor house, it might have felt more destined.

You are our Lina from today.

So I became Evelina Logias for the Marquis. The Marquis of Logias initially instructed me to just play Evelina.

However, as time passed, both Marchioness and Marquis began to treat me sincerely.

It was acting at first, and I also ended up being sincere.

Soon after, the Marquis of Logias became a real family to me.

Actually, I know youre not our Lina. But I still love you, Lina.

Ten years later, the biggest gift I received on my 18th birthday was the words of the Marchioness. I didnt know since when, but she said she knew I wasnt her own daughter.

Meeting you back then is the greatest blessing for this mother.

From that day on, I became the true daughter of Marquis Logias.

The Marquis, who was somewhat uncomfortable, became my home after that day, and the Marchioness and Marquis, who had treated me warmly from before, really became my mother and father and protected me.

Im sorry.

Although my engagement was made by order of the Emperor, against my will.

Its okay. Though it would have been nice to become the Crown Princess.

I said that without thinking, but I knew it.

Kaiden Abellad.

The fact that it was our familys job to kill Her Majesty, the Crown Princes biological mother, who was now deceased. Although it was unknown to the public, I knew.

It wasnt until I heard Kaidens name that I realized that I had transmigrated into a book.

I never saw him in the middle of the engagement papers, so I had no idea who he was.

However, in the original book, {Dont Cry, His Majesty}, I knew that he was the male lead with the sad ending of dying a tragic death without becoming emperor.

Knowing who he was, I remembered who I was.

Because I was transmigrated into a book I read long before I died, it took me a while to hear and remember the name.

Evelina Logias.

After preventing Kaiden from ascending to the throne, the original villain was a woman of misfortune who died of a heart attack.

Just recalling my hazy memory, it never said that Evelina was adopted. Thats why it took me a while to think of the original.

In addition, in the original story, Kaiden meets the female lead and changes a lot, changing a lot of his original psychopath-like personality. Then, tragically, she is killed by his brothers sword, even though she can dodge.

So.

In the original, the second prince, Ashes Abelard, killed the bedridden emperor and usurped the throne, killed the female lead, and when the female lead died, Kaiden due to the shock was also killed.

So when my father, the Marquis of Logias, pushed for the second prince, I was relieved. Although Im going to die of a heart attack soon after Ive been abandoned by Kaiden, who met Serena, the heroine, so its okay.

Evelina Logias of the original story died on July 7th. I remember it as a special day.

If I interfere with Kaiden when I die, my parents, who cared for me like their own daughters, will live happily from generation to generation.

I certainly remembered that. The damn original was wrong, but as far as my life was concerned, the general flow and the intermediate process were very similar.

Knock knock.

When I turned my head to the sound of a knock on the door, the door to the waiting room opened without my permission. This was the bridal waiting room, which was lavishly decorated.

Oh, step-sister. No, Ill have to call you the Empress.

It was Kaidens half-sister and Princess Elsius.

Come on.

The clothes are so

I looked in the mirror at her words. The splendor of the wedding dress I wore for my wedding was indescribable.

It doesnt fit. For the Empress, the clothes worn by her maids would suit her much better than a fancy dress like this.

Sure.

I forced her to smile, and Elsius smiled, pretending to be embarrassed.

Oh, my mistake. What I was saying was that modest ones are better suited than flashy ones. Do you understand what I mean?

Yes.

She was a supporter of Kaiden until he became Emperor, so she was a close friend. It was only natural for her that she disliked Marquis Logias, who looked like a thorn in her eyes.

Because I am the daughter of the family that pushed for the second prince. She would hate me even more if I was my fathers actual daughter.

All of the servants who were with her went out at the beckoning of the princess. Except for one.

There is less stitching here.

As she gestured for her, the servant next to her wove a white thread into her needle and brought it. She then trimmed the seams on her side, pretending she was skilled.

Ugh

Mary. You should have been careful.

Im sorry, Princess.

Then she moved the hand on her side again.

Okay

It was obvious that she was blatantly stabbed, but she endured it. After a few more stabs, she didnt let Elsius go. She should have known from the time when the corset was made of cloth.

Thank you, Princess.

Oh, now that we are family, call me Elsius.

I will, Elsius.

When she replied with a bright smile, I responded with the same smile.

By the way, Im going to send someone as a wedding gift.

I see, thank you.

I havent even had a ceremony yet, but it was a wedding present, so I looked at it to see what it was, and looked at the maid who stabbed me in the side and heard.

Mary is a maid that I cherish very much.

Hearing her name again and seeing her face reminded me. In the original work, she was also the maid who viciously harassed her mistress, Serena.

When you enter the Imperial Palace, my step-sister will also need a proper employee.

Okay, thank you.

Then all of a sudden, I noticed Elsius former ring, which was not suitable for my size, had gotten somewhat loose, so I took it off and put it on the tabletop. It must have happened while I was being stabbed in the side.

The ring belonged to her biological mother, the now deceased Empress Rayson.

Mary.

Yes, Princess.

Laughing as Elsius was about to leave, she said to Mary.

From today on, I am your master, so please come after saying goodbye properly.

Yes, Princess.

As Mary was about to say hello and leave, I slipped the ring Kaiden gave me and Elsius ring in her back pocket.

I had no intention of being treated like Serena in the original.
