"Where is she? The Duchess ran away! Quickly pursue her!"
"Take her back if you don't want Vicent to behead you!"
The air engulfed the castle, she came across the soaring iron gate, the flowers of the garden, and the vines stretched their branches along the tracks, trying to cling to her in the wrong direction. But the girl who noticed her steps began to rush, unable to wait for the moment to smother her lover.
So that, when the moment she thinks is right, this step leads her to a cruel death.

As the afternoon darkens, the bright red sun shines through the canopy of the trees, leaving a warm glow of pink, moving to the small country in peace behind the strange bustling places, the towering little girl scurrying through the door, carrying a large food bag in her hand.
For once, Merlin spent the only money she had to carry. Maybe tomorrow she should find a new job, or she and her lover will starve to death.
It makes her feel sad in her heart, but happy, no matter how hard it is, for Oscar, she can do anything, just give her the love she has yearned for so long.
Merlin keeps quiet, dogged little lips laughing at the guests, she is home sooner than ever today. Across the narrow corridor, she takes a breath and pauses in front of her tiny bedroom, just about to push the door open, when she hears someone's silly voice in the room.
"Oscar, why are you so desperate to pick this woman to run away... I am so angry with you!"
Gwyneth Merlin, with eyes out, is that the wrong sound? Careful, she pushed the door, and looked inside. Striking her eyes was the sight of her lover clutching her best friend, Sigrid Xavia.
How dare they commit a******y in front of her! She stood dead, paralyzed with arms and legs covering her mouth for fear she would make a sound.
"Good, wait till I get her to puke up the bulk of his rich fortune he's giving her, and I'll choke her with my hand. Then I'll have the main road to your side... my baby."
Are those words like a hundred thousand knives thrust into her heart? In anger, she pushes the door into the custody room during the battle. As if they'd reacted violently and felt to apologize to her, but no, this girl was at peace with herself, and Xavia was naked grabbing up at him, looking at Merlin with a scornful glance:
"Oh my dear, my best friend, who upset you so much, just tell me?"
"Xavia...!! How can you do this to me? You know I love him so... what are you doing?"
She falls to the floor, and tearfully hugs her face. Oscar betrays her, her only love at the moment of collapse.
He lit a cigarette, his countenance calmly hushed the woman's body into a hyperventilating heart, and he seemed to be thinking something deeply.
"Oscar, you should say I heard wrong. We've been together for five years, you... You promised after I consented to run away from Bridget's house that you'd marry me. Why? Do you love me only for my money, don't you?"
Merlin was horrified, her voice was broken with tears, the letters were lost. The cold one is not her lover. Please say it's just a dream, isn't it?
If time could come back. Merlin would have asked a lot of questions. Why would Oscar take you out of your prison... and shove her into the pit of hell himself? Why can Xavia throw away the friendship she thinks is most precious to the one she loves more than herself?
"Yes, what I want is the Gwyneth family fortune. You were so stupid you do not realize it. So what? I realize you're probably an unloved adopted child. Now... I would have abandoned you, but lucky that your old father gave you to Vincent. How is such an honest treasure to pass through?"
He laughs loudly, a hell-like laughter makes Merlin shrill out. And he turned to Xavia's chin: "Baby, she discovered our secret, I think... What do we do next? It seems Viscount Gwyneth does not love this b*tch very much..."
After the words were spoken, outside the lighting a "whisper," the flames of violet shone straight toward her little figure. It looks like a bad feeling, she just flips back and turns back! Some people are running after her, and Oscar's got his big gun on him. They are gonna kill her anyway.
As people fall asleep, outside is the pursuit of fate.
Gwyneth Merlin trekked through narrow alleys, attempting to sneak into the dark, avoiding the pursuit of Oscar and his minions.
But her weak body betrays her, and Oscar finally finds her hiding place. A cold, piercing "shot" shot made one impossible to hear, the bullet sticking directly to her belly, cold and unwitting like the man himself.
Rain, it's raining. The sky was still dropping heavy rain, and this thunderstorm saw long thunder. The little girl alone walked down this narrow, desolate road, following her long footsteps, a stretch of red blood and entering the rainwater as it poured into the ground. She strives her feet to the point of each step and every step. It was so difficult. It was painful.
The dark around here is so dark and cold. Am I dead? How tragic my life is, I just want to be loved, but it's luxurious. No one volunteers to be with me.
Gwyneth Merlin suffered just as much as he is today. But why are the two people you trust most lie to and ready to kill her?
She does nothing wrong. Why does the whole world want to bury her? No matter whether she was a child or until she grew up, she never felt any compassion for anyone, not even pity...

"Merlin, Merlin. Wake up! Do not sink into sleep for too long, wake up when the sun is high too and fall asleep in the twilight. Wake up, Merlin!"
As she slowly opened her eyes, sunlight creamed into every corner of the room, shining on her picturesque face to heal the wounds of an attractive girl.
This scene is familiar, it looks like she is at Gwyneth's house... oh, my God! Am I being driven back?
Merlin jumped from the bed with a sharp object nearby. "Get away! I'm not going to Bridget's house!"
The maid is frightened by her, and she goes toward her with confusion: "The Viscount is waiting downstairs for you to discuss the proposal with Duke Vincent, and he will not be happy if you're late."
Hold on, Merlin in a dream, what is that called a proposal? Didn't we marry half a year ago? This thing, a line of available thought, came to her mind.
Merlin slowly rose, heading towards the mirror. Oh my God... how young I look, that scar that's so big when I get away from Bridget's house is gone. And that bullet in the waist... It's a dream.
"Jenna, what year it is." She stretched her eyes to ask the attendant before her face; her fingers had not yet healed from their fear. Or is she dead? And what's going on is just one last memory before it's taken to heaven…
She was finding clothes for Merlin to hear and would not understand, but she didn't have much to say: "It's Dominic's year XI, Lady."
Merlin was stunned to believe his ears. So she turns back! It's Edsel's year II!! Emperor Dominic had died two years earlier, ending seventeen years of his reign, as the whole country had been weeping with white flags for two weeks in commemoration of his death. Two months later, the evil crown prince Edsel Felix was crowned king and our country was plagued by the same confusion and miseries…
God... God has given her a second chance. And what's the price? Gwyneth Merlin will not be a puppet on this board, I will take revenge myself and get it all back! But if she can do it or not... She stopped herself.
She glanced at the intently working maid. Jenna, in my previous life, I trusted you to the Duke and brought you with me, but what about in the end? You started showing your true face, you beat me every day, took away the treasure he had given me, and ran away with your secret lover. What a pity.
"Jenna, do you love gold and silver?" Merlin looked at her sad face in the mirror, and she contemplated it.
Jenna had no idea in her mind, but replied, "Yes! All people like gold, how brilliant and beautiful it is! I wished I had some of my property."
Gwyneth Merlin was only amused, so pleased with the answer, she would slowly remove a pin from her hair and give it to her.
"Come, it is for you. Thank you for taking care of me."
For the first time in her life, Jenna has been given such a precious gift, and Jenna holds it with joy, only to be afraid that her arms will come crashing down. She kept bending her head and thanking Merlin.
“What…really for me! I am grateful to Lady Merlin, thank you for giving me such a precious gift. I promise to serve you…”
“From now on, you will no longer be Gwyneth Merlin's maidservant. This hairpin is the meager salary I give you. It's the most precious thing I have." Merlin cut her off coldly, leaving a big shock to Jenna's spirits.
Holy! How dare that girl fire, Jenna, having to serve a mistress who has been estrous for years! And then, when she became the duchess of a rich family, Merlin deserted her?
"Have you misunderstood me? I... I've been with you for years. How can you do this to me..."
She tears, and this i***t will always be generous and forgive me. Every time Jenna sheds a tear, Merlin runs to comfort her and ignores all the mistakes she makes. So stupid!
