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 123 – Families

After the desserts and the after-mints disappeared (and all the guests were given a small, exquisite box of assorted chocolates to take home), King Jaren formally announced the end of the official banquet and opened the floor for general discussions and interactions.

General Aquila immediately led Crown Princess Pica, King Corvus, Rook, Raven and Mana to the family that had saved him and housed him for ten years.

The old man, who had fished General Aquila out of the sea all those years ago and had given him the name "Nemo" after realising that he had no memory of anything, was also in attendance. After all, it wasn't every day that the king of your country personally invites you to a royal banquet, right? He was a rather jovial old man with a slightly wrinkled but ever smiling face, and his eyes lit up as soon as he saw General Aquila approaching them.
