The Evil Emperor's Fragile Heart

Mana was a brilliant young lawyer working for the biggest international law firm in the world. With her prodigious talents, influential family and a perfect fiancé, her life was considered a dream come true…until a freak accident cost her everything. Or so she thought. After three years of being confined to a hospital bed, the man she had loved with all her heart told her about his betrayal as he slit her throat. The next moment, Mana found herself in the body of a sickly ten-year-old princess of the same name, in a world she thought to be fictional. “The Legend of Mars” was an ancient epic chronicling the adventures of the divine King Mars and his virtuous wife, Queen Astra, and their triumph over the evil, half-demon emperor Raven. Princess Mana was the unfortunate half-sister of Princess Astra, who died at the age of ten…and somehow pulled in Mana’s soul. And thus, Royal Princess Mana decided to make the best of her new chance at life and seek happiness. However, she soon found that what she had read in “The Legend of Mars” and the actual people she met were very different. Why was the divine child Mars an insufferable brat? Why was the virtuous Astra plotting nefarious schemes? Why did the brother of Mars look exactly like her traitorous fiancé of her previous life? And the meek little boy she accidentally rescued was actually the fearsome evil emperor …? But why on earth was he clinging to her and looking at her with puppy eyes?

Chapter 212 – The Scary Old Man

An old man slowly stepped out of the shadows after the door opened.

An ominous feeling accompanied his appearance – as if the very magic around him was creepy and scary. Even the humans like King Jaren and Jules and Bella could feel it – no wonder their little baby dragons, who were much more sensitive to magic than the humans, had been so terrified.

King Jaren tightened his arm around the two baby dragons against his chest, almost instinctively trying to hide them away from this terrible magic in the air.

Jules and Bella also stepped forward protectively, trying to cover King Jaren and the two little dragons.

"Good to see you awake and alive, Dora," the old man said with a smile. "I see that you are back in one piece again properly this time." He narrowed his eyes and scanned Queen Dora with his pale eyes from top to toe. "The curse seems to be cleared out as well," he muttered. "Good, good."

"Thank you, master," Queen Dora said politely.
