Second Life’s Revenge - Chapter 126

It was late at night and Laura was in her own room asleep on her bed. Another two days had passed since Laura took note of Tine using Fiona’s body. She was worried about the original Fiona because she hasn’t appeared as Tine is using her body currently.

During those two days, Laura had been tempting Tine in different ways. Drinking tea in front of her, buying pieces of jewelry and new dresses. It was funny how Tine couldn’t control her own emotions to the point Laura invited her to wear the necklace.

Now that two days had passed, it was about time Tine will try killing her. But during those two days, she didn’t only try to tempt Tine but she was also planning secretly. Currently, there were two guards hiding on the balcony. If she comes today then she will be caught and will be restrained from using her mana.

As for Laura she wasn’t fully asleep and was facing the opposite direction from the door. This way she could keep her eyes open and listen to the footsteps that would approach her. How does she know about it? For now, it’s a secret.

Just like what she predicted, it was happening. The doors to her room open and quietly the doors shut. With each footstep, she heard her heart kept beating faster and faster. She shut her eyes as she felt someone touching her hair, combing it down.

Before she knew it she felt a pair of hands wrapped around her neck. Then slowly the grip around her neck grew tighter while Laura tried using her strength to push Tine away. After, she grabbed Tine’s hand and pinned her onto the wall then called the guards to enter the room.

With Laura’s orders, they restrained Tine with a mana concealer. From its name, the mana concealer’s purpose is to prevent a person from using her mana. Kneeling on her knees Tine glared at Laura and said, “Curse you. I will never forgive you even if we were to meet again. I will never forgive and I swear that I will kill you.”

‘That is only possible if you were given another chance life,’ Laura wanted to say but kept her mouth shut. In this life Laura has no plans dying. This was her wish. To live a life she wants and not be pulled down by her enemy.

“I don’t care if you don’t forgive me. Tine, we could have been normal sisters but I don’t know why you hated me that much,” said Laura who walked closer at Tine who was kneeling onto her knees.

“Normal sisters?” Tine smirked. There is no chance of them being normal sisters. Sisters who get along with each other. Sisters who care for each other. There is no chance of that happening when Laura stole everything from her.

From the necklace, the people, her friends, and her future. Who wouldn’t hate the person who has been ruining their future?

“I wouldn’t want to be sisters with an orphan. Your black hair is a curse along with your purple eyes I hope you become blind like my mother,” Tine laughs while not realizing there were people entering the room.

The Countess was a blind woman? Laura has never heard of this. Since when was the Alvarado family hiding this information? ‘This isn’t time to ponder about it’ Laura thought. “Bring her to the palace and inform the Prince now,” ordered Laura who looked back at Tine then said, “So what about my black hair and purple eyes? I like the way it looks. Does that make me less of a human?”

“It makes you less a human, you demon. I bet everyone who’s in this room doesn’t even like you. I bet these two guards don’t want to be ordered by you,” Tine laughed while Laura kept her cool.

Not the slightest was she affected by Tine. There isn’t any point in being affected when the real demon is going to die.

“You’re wrong. Tine, don’t you know how pitiful you look right now?” asked Laura as she crosses her arms together.

“Why is there a need to pity me? I think you are the pitiful once since I’m the one being attacked by you.”

“Me attacking you? Well, I guess. But I’m not alone unlike you are.”

“So? People are tools. They are meant to be used. Friends? What is the point of having friends?” asked Tine. This girl has no heart at all. The people who thought they were friends with her were just tools to her. How wonderful and not surprising at all.

“You even accused the last person you should,” reminded Laura leaving Tine without a clue who it was. “You don’t have a clue, do you? Well, I’ll remind her name for you. Her name is Helga.” Tine’s eyes widen and her eyes grew softer.

Just when Laura said Helga’s name, per person herself entered the room. She looked down at Tine who was trying to keep her smile on. The thought of dying rushed into her head and she felt her blood rushing all over her body.

Tine couldn’t believe who she was seeing. This person should be dead but why is she still alive? There was even proof of her being dead. Her head was supposed to be cut. But looking at her neck there weren’t any stitches or scars or whatsoever.

“How is this possible? Didn’t my father kill you off?” She screamed at them. Helga lowered her body to match with Tine’s and while smiling she said, “It has been a while, Miss Tine. How are you doing?”

“How am I doing? Do I look alright to you?” Tine charges towards Helga but her movements were stopped by the two guards who pushed her down on the shoulders.

“You look fantastic,” mocked Helga who stood after and walked towards Laura’s side.

Tine finally understood that this was all planned. From the beginning, Laura knew she was using Fiona’s body to spy on her. But how when she didn’t show any open spots. She then realized something. It might be because of how she got jealous of the way Laura was living right now.

Tine bit her lip as the thought of death reached her mind. This is the end of her and there is no way out. She didn’t want to beg Laura to spare her life but if she wants to be alive she needed to do so. She had no shame at all.

Tine bowed, her forehead touching the cold floor then said, “Please forgive me. Don’t kill me.” Laura didn’t know what she felt but there wasn’t space left in her to forgive Tine. There were so many times where she tried killing her to the point her friends were affected.

Not to mention she didn’t want to forgive Tine especially how she treated her in her past life. It was too much. There wasn’t any space left for forgiveness. “So now you beg?” asked Laura.

“Please spare my life. I beg you. I can’t die yet. I’m still an innocent young lady ready to live and start a family. Sister save me,” Tine begged.

The word sister tasted bitter in her mouth. Laura didn’t like it at all. An innocent young lady? More of a young corrupted lady who doesn’t appreciate the lives of others.

Messy clothing, oily hair, and red eyes. Does this look like a proper lady who comes from a noble family? Very shameful.

“There isn’t space left for forgiveness. Take her away,” interrupted Erwin who was watching by the door the whole time. He didn’t want to waste time moving Tine and filing her into court. Though it was already sure that Tine will be executed for these reasons.

Tine threatening a royal family member forcing Prince Winston to be engaged with her. Then attempting to murder Laura which ended up failing and resulted in the fake death of Helga. Not only that but she is a member of the underground market. These remarks are not normal at all. But threatening the royal family itself is already a big crime.

“I’LL KILL YOU LAURA! YOU’RE NOT GETTING AWAY YOU’RE N-”

“I feel like my eardrums are about to break,” commented Helga as she looked at Erwin then gave him a bow. She was thankful for Erwin for exposing Tine. But Erwin and Laura were more thankful for Helga. If it wasn’t for her they wouldn’t have a witness that Tine was the one who ordered her to do things.

But that doesn��t mean Helga is getting away from punishment. Helga is still counted as an accomplice of Tine.

“But you will also be affected,” said Laura while Helga shook her head and a smile broke on her face. “It’s alright. At least she gets what she deserves,” answered Helga. It was Laura’s first time seeing Helga smile and she too couldn’t help but smile too.

“That reminds me. Tine mentioned the Countess being blind.”

“Ah…it was supposed to be a secret but the Countess grew blind after a high fever. The other symptoms are unknown but did you know that she had purple eyes?”

“Yes, I remember Count Harrison saying something familiar,” answered Laura while Helga walked closer to her and whispered, “Also she had black hair.”
