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 223 – Black Energy of Destruction

An ominous feeling rose up in Mana's heart and she rushed out of the side room with only one thought in her mind – she had to get to Raven!

Raven's face was as white as a sheet and he swayed unsteadily as he stood up.

"Mana," he murmured. "I – I – am I – is it – is it true?" he stammered, his eyes unfocussed and his voice barely audible. Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath and gathered himself. Then his eyes snapped open, their colours changed from the usual soft rainbow glow to a deep, liquid black. "Does the book really say that I am going to kill Papa?" he asked.

Mana opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't, because her mother interrupted her.

"She won't tell you the truth," Queen Dora said, coming up behind Mana – and stalling whatever she was about to say. "But I have read the book, too – and yes, the book very clearly says that you are the one that killed my Jaren."

Tears fell down Raven's fair cheeks.
