Became A Queen After divorce

He had contemplated ending it all, but as the searing flames touched his face and the sharp pain etched into his bones, he abandoned the thought.

He feared death, and he did not want to die a meaningless death, to be left without even someone to collect his body.

He wanted to live-to seek revenge!

He could not tolerate the ones responsible for his brother’s death continuing to live happily in this world.

“At that time, I felt that death is the most cowardly display of a human.”

“Because once a person is dead, they truly have nothing left. All love and hate vanish into thin air, and I was not willing to accept that.”

Declan’s words resonated deeply with Sam, who had also ‘died’ once.

He was curious about how Declan managed to turn the tables later on.

“And… what happened next?”

The subsequent acts of vengeance were too dark and bloody, and Declan originally did not want his daughter to know this side of him.

He also wanted to maintain the image of a loving father in his daughter’s heart forever, but then he thought, someday his family would have to be managed by her;

He had previously kept her out of it because she was too young and he feared she might not handle it.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Now, Pearl was about to graduate, and it was time for her to take on this responsibility.

“Later, after much investigation, I finally identified the arsonists, all six of them!”

“I invited them to a specific location under the guise of a guest, and then I killed them one by one.”

During that time, several rickshaw drivers were murdered in the city, one after another.

And since all the murders occurred on rainy nights, rumors spread that they had encountered ghosts.

Tondende is a superstitious country, and this explanation seemed to gain widespread acceptance.

Almost every rickshaw driver went to the temple to pray for amulets, except for him.

“The last time I acted, I accidentally revealed myself and was recognized by that person.”

“After the mishap, I fled in a panic, thinking I could return once the coast was clear, but I didn’t expect that person to have some influence locally.”

“He enlisted a dark wizard to cast a powerful spell on me.”

After being cursed, he began to look unrecognizable, and the next morning he woke up to find himself bleeding from all orifices.

Terrified, he rushed to the hospital, but they could find nothing wrong.

While walking on the street, an elderly monk suddenly spoke to him-

“Young man, you seem to have offended a dark wizard. Looking at you, you won’t live more than five days; you better start preparing for the end.”

The monk had traveled widely in his youth and had once encountered another person cursed like him.

“Young man, this magic is called Seven Days Left, meaning you will die within seven days after being cursed.”

“The last time I saw someone cursed like this was several years ago.”

Declan had never imagined such sinister things existed in the world, and he immediately inquired about the fate of that person.

The old monk simply replied with two words.

“Dead.”

The harsh answer seemed to foretell Declan’s fate, causing him to shudder.

It turned out that waiting for death was both torturous and painful, and life was far more fragile than he had thought.

“No, I don’t want to die. Please, master, show me a way.”

The master hesitated for a long time, then sighed lightly and spoke: “I don’t know if this path I tell you will save you or harm you.”

“Why do you say that, master?”

“Because if you go, you might have a one percent chance of survival; if you don’t, you are certainly going to die.”

Even with just a one percent chance, Declan wanted to try it; it was better than sitting here waiting to die.

“Thank you for the warning, master. I’m willing to go.”

“Very well, come closer.”

Everyone was naturally curious, what was the method the master mentioned?

“Dad, what happened next? How did you survive?”

Declan gently patted her hand, and the memories that followed were about his late wife.

The days he met and fell in love with her were the only sweetness in his otherwise lonely and difficult life.

“Following the master’s directions, I went to the Cunningham family, and only there did I learn that the Cunningham family’s business was so big because they practiced magic.”

“After explaining my purpose, they saw that I was just a poor young man and mercilessly drove me out.”

But he did not give up, kneeling at the door of the Cunningham family and refusing to rise.

Finally, on the last day, just as he felt he was about to die, a refreshing fragrance wafted from behind him.

The scent penetrated directly into his mind, unforgettable.

“Who is he? What’s going on?”

A gentle voice arose, questioning the gatekeeper.

Declan, hungry and in pain, with his consciousness collapsing, had no time to see what she looked like before he passed out. He only heard the angry voice say:

“How could you let someone kneel here to die? Quick, save him!”

“Yes, Lady Natalia.”

It turned out she was the lady of the Cunningham family.

When Declan woke up again, he found himself lying on a large soft bed covered with silky satin, everything around him unfamiliar.

“You’re awake?”

He looked up to see who was speaking, only to find a girl of about thirteen or fourteen standing before him.

“Who are you?”

The young girl puffed her cute cheeks and glared at him, coyly saying:

“I’m Lady Natalia’s maid Zoey, since you’re awake, drink this medicine and don’t waste the effort Lady Natalia put into making it.”

As she said this, she brought a bowl of pitch-black medicine to him, even the air tinged with bitterness.

Seeing this bowl of medicine, Declan was surprised.

“Lady Natalia personally made this medicine?”

Since his brother’s death, no one had personally brewed medicine for him, this feeling… made his nose unexpectedly sore.

“May I ask where Lady Natalia is? I would like to thank her in person.”

Zoey snorted coldly upon hearing this, sizing him up disdainfully and said:

“Lady Natalia is not someone you can just meet whenever you wish, you reek so much you might stink her up.”

“Lady Natalia said if you get well you should leave, the Cunningham family does not shelter outsiders.”

If it weren’t for the young lady’s kind heart taking pity on his miserable state and bringing him back, a person of such low status like him wouldn’t even touch the threshold of the Cunningham family.

Declan looked down and indeed, it was embarrassing.

He had not changed his clothes or bathed in nearly half a month, dusty and blood-stained, more ragged than a beggar.

“I’m sorry, I was presumptuous.”

Suddenly, a graceful and slender figure appeared at the door, the coming person spoke gently, reprimanding her maid. “Zoey, what are you saying? How have I taught you all this time?”
