I pulled out the dagger hidden under my pillow and stabbed it into Charles‘ shoulder.
He winced in pain.
I took the opportunity to retreat to the corner.
Blood was dripping.
“Charles, wasn’t I tortured enough by you in my previous life? You don’t respect me, nor do you love me. You imprisoned me in that small space, restricting my freedom. I was like a dog, with my limbs tied up, allowing you to do whatever you wanted to me. I was in pain. Why should I repeat the same mistake?”
Charles‘ face was illuminated by the moonlight, looking somewhat sad.
But I couldn’t read his mind.
After a while, he covered the wound I had stabbed, glancing at me indifferently. “You want
freedom?”
“Yes, more than anything.”
In my previous life, I was raised as a noble lady in the Laurent family, following the path that
all noble girls in the capital would take.
I was cautious and fearful of making any mistakes that would bring shame to my parents.
But it only led to an arranged marriage that I had no control over, to the estrangement of my
sister, and an unfulfilled life.
If Gloria hadn’t killed me, I would have wasted my life in Charles‘ backyard.
I was done with it.
This was not the life I wanted.
“Charles, even if you get my body, what’s the point? A person without a heart is no different
from a corpse, extremely boring. Is this what you want?”
Charles stared at me for a long time.
Then he picked up his belt and left.
After that night, Charles went back to war with the army.
It seemed as if what happened that day was just a dream of mine.
Life returned to normal, but in the autumn, an unexpected person arrived.
Gloria came.
During this period, several major events occurred.
The first event was that the lord of Yugen adopted Esther as his goddaughter. And we continued to treat the wounded soldiers with the army doctor.
The second was that although we managed to take back Dansto, history had indeed changed. The barbarians no longer used their previous tactics, which brought trouble to Chr
after his rebirth.
It meant the way to deal with them in his previous life had to be altered.
The war was merciless, and by October, the soldiers were exhausted.

The war was merciless, and by October, the soldiers were exhausted.
The endless sneak attacks made them constantly on guard.
And winter was coming, and fighting on the frozen lake would be more challenging due to
the cold, which soldiers couldn’t endure.
The longer it dragged on, the more difficult it became.
While everyone was preoccupied with defending the country and repelling the barbarians, Gloria still had the nerve to provoke me.
Especially when she saw Esther here, she was even more smug.
“Regina, you’re really a coward. Lord Lowell brought his lover, yet you got along with her peacefully. You can’t defeat her, right?”
Gloria probably remembered that in the previous life, Lambert brought her and Esther to the banquet, and Esther gained a lot of favor in front of everyone, making her reputation as a jealous
woman even worse.
Now that the roles were reversed, I was in her position, and she couldn’t resist taking the opportunity to taunt me.
I smiled faintly, “Gloria, did you come all the way here just to meddle in my affairs?”
Her lips twitched. “Come on! I don’t have time for you. I came for my husband. He didn’t bring anyone, much more virtuous than Lord Lowell.”
Someone must have given her advice. After all, it had been ten months since we left the capital, and Charles had no concubines or maids except for her.
The long–term battle worried Gloria, so she came to seize her husband.
What a fool.
Now that the war was in its final decisive stage, how could Charles have time to flirt with her?
