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 59 – Good News for Princess Astra

Just as Queen Carolina had predicted, soon after the Emerald Kingdom and the Sapphire Kingdom made a preliminary announcement of the festivities spanning from the winter solstice to the new year, emissaries from the Amber Kingdom arrived promptly with a formal proposal for Princess Astra of the Emerald Kingdom and Crown Prince Mars of the Amber Kingdom, with follow-on celebrations in the Amber Kingdom after the winter solstice banquet in the Emerald Kingdom and the new year banquet in the Sapphire Kingdom. The suggested time was three days after the celebrations in the Sapphire Kingdom.

King Jaren went to meet Astra for the first time since she had been grounded and confined to her rooms. She had been behaving herself and had not tried to break out or created a ruckus after the first week, realising the futility of it.

"Papa?!" Astra cried in surprise as soon as she saw him. "You…you're here to visit me?"

Her pretty face was lit up with hope.
