Chapter 2 - Betrayal

“Husband, please believe me. "Someone must have framed me," said Vanya, confirming her father-in-law's accusation. Devan's eyes were red, his jaw tightened, as if he really wanted to strangle Vanya right now. Devan laughed then said, "Why should I listen to you? You and your family are the same. You must die, Vanya. Dying is better than having to bear the shame of your ugly face." Devan stared at him viciously.

"Devan, I've loved you since childhood, so why should I cheat behind your back? Even since we got married, I have never asked you for children, because I know you can't accept my face. My heart is so sincere to you, Devan." Vanya cried, beating her chest, the man she loved didn't believe her.

Sonia appeared from behind Devan. “Because that's how you chose to have an affair, little brother. Your husband is busy serving the country, you are having fun with other men. If I were you, I'd rather die like your family just now."

Vanya shook her head, she knew her older cousin really hated her because she wasn't the one who married Devan. “Sister, what mistake have I done to make you like this? I think our sibling relationship is fine.”

"Ha ha ha ... "Sister, I'm like this because your family betrayed the country, what's more, you have ruined your husband's good name and your title, so why are you the Empress of Britain?" said Sonia mockingly.

Vanya shed tears, he was hurt to hear that. He understands now. he laughed dryly lamenting his bad fate. “I was really stupid back then, I shouldn't have chosen to marry the future King. My family's death had something to do with you guys, right?! You guys have taken advantage of me! you guys took away my father's military that he had long gathered in my mother's hometown! You guys have the heart to take my biggest factory, you—" Vanya was cut off.

Sonia laughed at that while kissing Devan. all the servants who were watching just laughed at her, who had been cheating on Devan for a long time. Vanya couldn't hold back the pain in his heart, he fell on the floor and burst into tears. "Why do you have the heart to do this to me?"

Vanya beat his aching chest, he couldn't bear to see the man he loved kissing his cousin any longer. Vanya vomits blood, he has had enough of losing his family who died horribly, he also doesn't want to lose his love. Devan was the only one he hoped for. but now, why did they have the heart to fool him? No wonder since she got married, her husband has not been visible to her.

Vanya felt like there was a cloth tied around his neck, someone was strangling him from behind. He tried to save himself, but the strangulation caused him to be lifted until he was hanging. he sees everyone laughing at him. Even though he was almost out of breath, his face was even turning blue. Vanya tried to see who the culprit was and it was the Queen. The queen that Vanya had hoped for for a long time, was so determined to kill her. Everyone's laughter echoed in the room, as if they were happy about his death.

Vanya surrendered, crying non-stop, he exhaled. I will come to destroy you.

Martinez Residence

The old lady who had wrinkles all over her body was enjoying afternoon tea, where all her maids were lined up while lowering their heads to look after their Old Madam. The elder's name was Lusi Martinez. He put his teacup back on the tray, then enjoyed the pineapple cake made by his personal maid. “Hmm... this cake is really delicious. I didn't pay a maid from the palace to work for me in vain.” lusi—Vanya's grandmother was very royal, she held all of Simsom's wealth because Simsom's daughter was taken care of by them.

Byurr!

"Help! Help! Miss Vanya fell to the bottom of the pool.” Vanya's servant screamed, he could not swim to save his lady.

lusi, who knew that her granddaughter had fallen, didn't care at all, she pretended to be deaf and blind to know what happened. “Madam, what about the child? If the General finds out, then—” The maid standing beside Lusi lowered her head in fear. Lusi was indifferent, didn't care what her servant said. An hour of no one to save Vanya at the bottom of the pool, suddenly Vanya disappeared. Everyone standing at the edge of the pool was so panicked.

Dion, who happened to be passing by with Prince Devan Philip, suddenly heard the servants' screams. Dion rushed over and asked, “What's wrong?! Why are you here?!” Dion looked at the bottom of the pool, but it was empty. Even the 3 meter deep pool is very clear.

“Sir, help our Miss! "He's drowning under there," said Vanya's loyal servant.

Devan, who was curious, looked under the pool, but Vanya was not there. but suddenly Vanya appeared on the surface of the water. He suddenly could swim. Even though everyone knew very well that little, fat Vanya couldn't swim and was very afraid of the depths of water. What they see now, it's not like the Vanya they know. Vanya tried to climb to the edge of the pool, suddenly Devan reached out his hand to help her, but Vanya slapped his hand away. She, who was once innocent, spoiled and cute, suddenly turned flat and very cold. He's like anyone else right now. Vanya walked wet, without caring about the people around him.

Dion—her cousin—suddenly touched her shoulder, but Vanya quickly threw Dion's hand away. “Little Brother, are you okay? I wanted to save you, but I was too late and sorry, your wet clothes showed your underwear." Dion again humiliated Vanya in front of Prince Devan, where everyone knew that Vanya had liked the fourth prince for a long time. However, Vanya didn't care about Dion's words which lowered her self-esteem.

“Miss, your clothes are see-through.” Yuta tried to tell him, but Vanya didn't respond, he continued walking to get to his house. I don't know what he's thinking right now.

all the servants who watched Vanya come out of the pool by herself, started to think strangely. For them, it was impossible for Vanya to be able to swim. Not to mention his attitude and perspective towards Prince Devan, made them wonder.

Devan's gaze was not diverted, he still saw Vanya walking with his servants. Devan felt disturbed seeing Vanya's sharp and cold gaze. He really amazed everyone.

What's wrong with that idiot, why is there no shame in him at all? I had clearly embarrassed her in front of the man she adored, but this was completely unexpected. Dion asked in his mind.

Dayang Lusi, who had just witnessed Vanya in the pool, now rushed over to her old lady. "Elder, that kid is not dead, he can swim!"

Lusi hit the table. “That idiot has lied to everyone! We have to teach him a lesson!” Lusi rushed over feeling angry and disappointed. Actually he hoped Vanya would die, but apparently he didn't.

Vanya looked at the mirror in the room. he really looked like a street clown, his fat body made him unable to walk properly, due to his big and heavy body, he fell to the bottom of the swimming pool just now. Vanya remembers her first life, the one who saved her from the bottom of the pool was Devan. However, behind all that, it turns out that Devan was only using him to meet Sonia. Meanwhile, Sonia doesn't really like Devan, for her it would be better to like the Crown Prince, future King, rather than the prince. But as time went by, Sonia finally gave up on Devan. Vanya was really stupid for not realizing that first.*
