125 Chapter 125 – Clarina’s grand plan

Sitting in the cold prison Clarina trembled violently.

Things did not go as per her plan again. once again, she was left annoyed and disappointed.

First, it was Yubiri, next it was her big break with Duke Parlov. Things were not supposed to have happened like this.

Clarina closed her eyes. the scene from the game was quite clear in her mind. Her stupid boyfriend drew out that scene right in front of her. purposefully she added this scene to make it easy for Clarina to enter high society.

{a long carriage carrying the young duchess passed through the abandoned roads.

Lady Perlin’s face went slightly pale feeling the bumpy road. She put her head out and whispered. “Can you slow down for me please.”

The coachman looked back at her maliciously. “The roads are rough your highness.”

“Why are we taking this route? Don’t we usually travel by the riverside?” confused by the new scenery outside the carriage the lady Perlin confusedly looked at the man.

The evil man stopped the carriage in between huge bushels hiding the carriage from view.

.....

Two assassins popped out of it.

Lady Perlin was quite stunned. “Who are you both?” she whispered shivering.

The one wearing a black cape removed the cloth hiding her face.

Seeing her familiar face lady Perlin was shocked and stunned speechless. “you.... you...”

“don’t expect to see me here? you ruined my life. And I will ruin your life.” She gestured for the man next her.

The man slashed off the coach man’ throat

“ahhhhhh!!!!” the precious lady who hadn’t seen blood in her life screamed, trembling.

“die,” Rina locked the door outside with an iron rod and set the wooden carriage on flame.

“Please... we didn’t do anything to you. why do you...”

“you didn’t do anything to me? you are the reason I live like this. do you realize that I have to live in hiding? If you had been complacent, I would have given the Duke a child. I would have been a duchess... you.. you were in the way,”

Lady Perlin trembled, shaking her head.

Breathing in too much smoke the lady fainted.

Clarina who was passing by the forest, ‘by chance’ spotted the fumes. She rushed to the spot. “What are you doing? There is someone inside. How could you hurt people like this!” she screamed righteously.

The assassins spotted her instantly. “Kill her,”

the two assassins rushed to her and stabbed her stomach making Clarina scream in pain.

She collapsed in a pool of her own blood.

Duke came to find his wife burned to death and a young lady collapsed outside.

Clarina who was barely conscious gripped onto his coat tail. “s-save her... please.... Please.....”

Seeing her kind heart, the heartbroken Duke saved her and decided to raise her as his own.}

This was the game’s scene that she loved so much. Because after that event Clarina only had the best of the best in her life. She enjoyed the best treatment and found a lot of men who liked her elegant style.

‘but that didn’t happen!!! I didn’t get the duke’s approval! Worse I’m stuck in a prison cell!! Shit!! It’s all because of that runt. Who the fuck is she. why does she keep popping up here and there?’

The last time on the ship she brushed it off as a coincidence.

But she couldn’t stay calm any longer.

‘what is her name even?’ she gritted he teeth. ‘have to kill her to get my righteous place.... And those fucking runts...’

The bitch didn’t come here alone though. The two little boys she saw hanging out with her also came to the mansion. She even heard whispers that the Duke planned to adopt the boys officially. But there had been no notice sent out.

Thinking that she had a clear chance clarain played out her part in the plot.

But it all turned into shit!!!

She had been waiting by the forest to see the smoke but she didn’t see anything for long. Knowing that her plan was foiled she rushed back to the road. On the way, she spotted the two assassins secretly entering the inn.

She watched from her hiding post as the crazy women dress up as a servant and enter the place.

They both silently killed everyone side the inn.

She saw flames arising in the room’s window. thinking that it was her chance to shine she had run in without hesitation.

Clarina had felt so accomplished at that moment. Because lady Perlin’s death would only mean she would be getting the Duke’s love.

But who knew that brown-haired runt was also in there!

She even chased her out.

‘I was an idiot!! I should have stabbed that bitch in that ship long back. Leaving her alive ws a mistake fuck!!!’

Clarina didn’t want to miss out on that chance. She secretly cut the chain on lady Perlin with her powers. With that in hand, she walked over to the Duke’s mansion.

She purposefully went there at night. If she got the chance to stay behind, she can create a good impression on the Duke.

But that bitch was here too!!!

‘I can’t stay here... I have to meet up with my Killian,’ she bit her lips hard tearing the tender skin. ‘she.. why was she here?’

The guards walked up to her holding cell with a small bowl of food. He rudely slammed it in the small hold at the bottom. “eat,”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Clarina crawled over and grabbed his hand. casting her pitiful gaze she shed a few tears. “sir... please.. please spare me. I haven’t done anything. I’m just a pitiful girl.”

She watched as the man’s cold eyes peer at her hands touching his. He flung it away. Without a word, he started to walk out.

“wait!” she pulled o a secret stash of gold coins she hid in her skirt and shook it. “aren’t I pitiful? Won’t you help me? you will be handsomely rewarded by the price Killian,”

The guard paused.

‘Yes, that’s it. come back and release me,’

“You know prince Killian?”

“of course, he is my.. friend. We are very close. Here,” he held out a small pendant she hid in her corset. “This is the royal mark. Do you recognize it?”

Clarins secretly smiled.

In fact, approaching the duke was not that important since she had already gained the good opinion of young prince Killian. But for a while they were hanging out, the high-strung women in the high society were whispering and making fun of her lowborn status.

to change that she decided to risk getting stabbed that day.

But it all led to this.

Secretly she despised that her secret stash of hard-earned gold coins was going to waste like this. but it had to be done

‘no, I have to think of it as an investment... wait I can get something out this situation. when prince sees me like this hsi protective instincts will rise,’

The guard took the pouch of gold. But she refused to let go of it.

“Give me a piece of paper and ink.”

The guard skeptically paused and handed over a piece of oil paper that he had in his pocket.

The paper was obviously used to wrap food items. it was tainted with oil.

Clarina looked at it with disgust. Handing such dirty paper to the prince would be a disgrace. But she had to work with what she got.

“Ink?”

“I don’t have.” The guard shrugged.

Gritting her teeth Clarina bit into her fingertip and wrote a simple letter with her own blood. She folded it carefully and handed it over to him. “Sent it to the servant’s quarter in Killian’s palace. Look for the servant Galus. He will know what to do.”

The guard nodded and left.

Only after doing so did Clarina felt a sense of relief..

she sighed leaning against the dirty walls.

Clarina scratched her head and made her hair all disorderly. She even tore the bottom layer of the skirt to make herself look pitiful.

“This is not a bad thing too. that prince has been treated me like a friend for quite long. He needs to see how pitiful I look,” she pinched her cheeks and make it more pink and adorable.

Unknown to her the guard was waiting by her cell listening to everything.

He walked up the Duke’s study and handed the bag of coins and the bloody letter. “lord she seems to be familiar with the prince,”

Duke Parlov took the letter and opened it.

Only two letters were written in very ugly handwriting. ‘prince help..’

He carefully folded it in the same way and held it to him. “od as she says. I will see how the prince reacts to this,”

“yes lord,” the guard bowed ad left the study.

.....

Duke Parlov was deep in thought. he too had heard about the young lady the young prince Killian was hanging around with,

She was said to be the most adorable with beautiful blond hair like the sun.

‘I think out family’s Feng and Elle look absolutely adorable compared to her poisonous looks,’

Many women loathed her for stealing the prince’s heart.

He too had heard of all this.

‘this girl.. she seems to want to swallow both the Duke’s mansion and the prince’s castle... hmm let’s see how the young prince reacts,’
