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 252 – Princess Astra’s Request

Mana and Raven exchanged a meaningful glance – both of them knew exactly what Astra was looking for, after all.

"Mana and Raven are very tired already," King Jaren said. "Astra, why don't you speak to them tomorrow morning instead?" he suggested.

"But Papa, it is very important," Astra said in a pleading voice, looking up at her Papa with a pitiful expression.

"Surely Princess Mana and Prince Raven are not so tired that they can't spare a few minutes to speak to their older sister and my dear fiancée?" Crown Prince Mars said with a frown.

Mana and Raven nearly rolled their eyes, both of them thinking how Mars would react if he knew exactly why Astra wanted to speak with them! Would he still want the two of them to speak to Astra urgently if they knew that Astra was going to ask them to procure more of the love potion to drug Mars and that she wanted to keep him drugged and obedient for the rest of his life?
