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 45 – Delayed Justice

Mana moved in front of Jules protectively, but Raven was even faster. He caught Queen Sora's hand, but he was still a child, after all, and she was an adult. The flame dagger pierced his shoulder.

"Raven!" Mana and Jules cried out in alarm.

"Daddy!" Azar shouted.

King Jaren threw out a powerful wave of magic and Queen Sora was imprisoned in a cage of earth.

She laughed hysterically, until Grandma cast a calming spell on her.

"Papa! I can't heal him!" Jules called King Jaren, panicked.

The adults immediately gathered around Raven, who had lost his consciousness by now.

Grandpa cursed and pulled out the flame dagger from Raven's shoulder.

"Is it poisoned?" Mana asked him urgently.

Grandpa shook his head. "It's not," he said, with a heavy sighed. "It's worse."

Grandma's eyes widened in recognition as she looked at the dagger in Grandpa's hand. "Is that…is that the hellfire dagger?! How could it be in Sora's hands?!"

King Jaren cursed loudly.
