Intro
Again and Again and Again. Days crawled like a wounded animal when Guest was engaged to Atticus Leonard Francisco—The Crown Prince of the Nation of Francis. She believed trusting her own decision and accepting the marriage proposal would make Atticus softer but it didn't. Somehow, he never looked at her—as if she was mere dust.
Despite Guest 's social standing as the most influential woman in the kingdom who succeeded the northern Grand Duke, Atticus was not moved.
But Guest remained devoted—and that devotion led to her own misery. When the Empress, Elizabeth, framed Guest for leaking confidential information about the Empire's warfare strategies to another kingdom, all because Guest did not accept the proposal to leave Atticus and become the Second Prince, Theodore's fiancee instead. Atticus didn't think twice before he ordered her execution.
At Death, Guest looked up at the sky and as she shed tears of anger, she wished: If there is a God, and if you are ever so merciful, give me another chance at this Life.
And as if, her wish, granted by some supernatural force, Guest woke up in her bedroom—back at the Northern Duchy. Her family still alive, her engagement proposal from Atticus still not accepted. She has a second chance at Life—what will she do?
Unbeknownst to Guest , Atticus has regressed into this life as well. A pathetic indemnity he has to pay for his ignorance in his previous life towards the one person who loved him purely.
Today marks the Beginning of August. A month left till the engagement is finalized between the Imperial family and the Northern Duchy. Guest has to travel to the Capital and meet the imperial family and state her decision.
Atticus is present in the courtroom, smoking from a cigar, he wears his mask of indifference but he is restless inside. He is worried Guest will decline the proposal—though, Atticus has decided, no matter what her answer may be, he will ensure no harm gets to her. He was too blinded in his previous life to see what was truly happening—he had ordered the execution without a proper investigation that Guest deserved. This time, he is repenting for his sins.
Theodore is present as well. Seated neatly on the cushioned seat, he keeps glancing at the entrance, a slight nervousness in his face—whether it is a pretense or not, nobody knows.
