Chapter 1 Divorce

On spring day, the 28th year of Emperor Arthur, Belleros, East Acesia.

"Oh, my god! Help! Miss Caroline Bennett hung herself!" (Caroline Bennett, the third daughter of General Bennett)

Early in the morning, a scream suddenly broke out from "Crystal Palace", the most remote and secluded house of Bennett Mansion, which instantly broke the tranquility of the morning!

In front of the bed in the inner room, Doctor Thomas, the imperial doctor, in his late fifties, frowned and tried to feel the pulse of a young lady lying in bed.

This young lady was about 16 or 17 years old. Her pretty face showed a weird blue-purple color because of suffocation. At this moment, she was stiff and had no breath!

Doctor Thomas shook his head helplessly, slowly withdrew his hand, and sighed, "Please forgive my incompetence. I'm afraid Miss Bennett can't...be saved!"

Bedside stood the eldest daughter, Helena Bennett. She was kind of shocked, pursed her lips a little bit. A few seconds later, she blurted out joyfully, "Really?" When she finished speaking, she realized that she had said something inappropriately. So, she just coughed, and took the handkerchief and pretended to wipe her tears. Her voice was choked, "No, Caroline will be alright. Doctor Thomas, please save her."

Doctor Thomas could only shake his head, indicating that there's nothing he could do.

"Woo, Miss Bennett! Don't leave me ..." The maid Daisy knelt in front of the bed in grief. She kept shaking Caroline, hoping she would wake up.

It was difficult for Helena to conceal her excitement, but she knew she mustn't reveal her reall feeling at such an occasion. She pretended to be sad and rushed to the bed and cried, "My younger sister, you just leave like this. What am I going to do...? "

"What's going on? What's wrong with Caroline?"

In the deafening cry, General Freddie Bennett strode in. He was followed by a young handsome man in a robe and jade crown. The young man was Prince Nicholas Lopez, the eldest son of Emperor Arthur, who was also the fiancé of the young lady in bed

Helena who was still crying immediately got up and choked, "Father! Caroline she ... she went extreme, and killed herself!"

"What?" Freddie frowned suddenly, his face sinking instantly.

"Please forgive my incompetence. Miss Bennett has been ..."Doctor Thomas was frightened and gasped, "It's too late and I can't save her..."

Daisy turned a blind eye to all this, just holding the woman's hand to try to wake her up. In the trance, she felt Caroline's hand suddenly moved, and then it moved gently. Daisy was stunned, and looked up in tears. Caroline opened her eyes weakly and stared at her.

There was a moment that Caroline's eye was kind of strange to her. But that strangeness was transient.

"Miss, you aren't dead, Miss!" Daisy froze, and then she yelled in surprise.

Helena was stunned, "What? It's impossible!" The rest of the words were stuck at the throat in the face of Caroline's sharp eyes. She stepped back in panic as if she saw a ghost: "you ... you ... a human or a ghost?"

The joy in Nicholas's eyes was replaced by shock, and he threw his sleeve angrily and stepped forward to check. There was a faint anger in his voice, "What's going on?"

Caroline was frightened by his voice. She rolled over and sat up in a panic, lifting her pale ghost-like face, and desperately crawled towards Nicholas, "Prince Nicholas, please ... please do not abandon me..."

Her right arm was twisted in a strange posture as it was turned outwards.

Helena was annoyed. She bit her lower lip and turned her eyes. She said, "Yes, your highness, if you really dismiss the engagement, Caroline will kill herself. She can do anything for you ..."

"Helena!" General Bennett was angry. Helena was adding fuel to the fire!

Nicholas couldn't restrain his anger at this time. He shouted, "You are bold! Caroline, how dare you threaten me."

"Your highness, please don't get mad at me, please forgive ..." Caroline trembled, and stretched out her hand to pull his hem, "Please, Your highness, please ..."

"Your highness, do you really want my sister to die?" Helena seized the opportunity to speak as if she was afraid it was not chaotic enough.

Nicholas's eyes flashed with cold light. He glanced at the rope, strode forward and pulled up the rope and became furious, "Caroline! Are you fooling me? How dare you deceive me! "

The rope was cut neatly. Obviously, it was cut deliberately when he was coming.

"No, I didn't ..." Caroline crumbled, crying in huge grievance. She wanted to hug his legs, but he kicked her hard.

"You are fooling me like this. How can we be husband and wife?"

He asked a servant to bring him pen and paper, swung his sleeves, wrote down a few words in the paper and threw it in front of Caroline: "We are over!" Then he turned and left!

"Your Highness! Your highness, calm down..." Helena was ecstatic and shouted and chased after him.

Caroline, who had just wept bitterly, looked at the paper in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.

General Bennett took a condemnatory glance at her and he was afraid that they would become a laughingstock because of today's scandal. He stomped angrily, and turned to chase Prince Nicholas to see if there was anything he could do to fix it.

Daisy was worried about Caroline. She squatted down and called "Miss" in a soft voice. She was really afraid that Caroline would wail bitterly the next moment as she knew how Caroline cared about Prince Freddie.

However, to her surprise, the tearful young lady turned to carefully read the contents of the paper, then, put it aside, stood up with one hand, wiped away the tears on her face at will, and said calmly: "Daisy, bring me some hot water. I want to wash my face."

"Yes!" Daisy responded subconsciously, and took a few steps. And suddenly she realized something usual, "Miss! You ..."

It's quite unusual!

Because of her disability, Caroline had always been timid, even thought she had a supper-pretty face. She was even submissive to the servants. But at this moment, she seemed to be quiet a different person. The cowardice inborn was gone. The whole person was as quiet and composed as the ink landscape!

Caroline smiled slightly and looked at her sideways, "What's wrong?"

Daisy's heart beat and she shook her head in haste.

At that moment, Caroline did not miss the doubt in Daisy' eyes, but she just smiled slightly, with some helplessness.

In fact, the real Caroline was already dead at the time of the doctor's diagnosis, but now this body was occupied by a soul from modern ages: the forensic agent Bella Clark, code-named "Caroline"!

The moment she opened her eyes, memories of Caroline Bennett flashed into her mind.

This was a continent that worshiped martial arts. The original owner of this body, Caroline Bennett, was a girl with stunning beauty and amazing inner strength. Since her destiny matched with Prince Nicholas, who had too much Yin Qi, Emperor Arthur made her engaged with Prince Nicholas. However, when she was twelve years old, she suddenly became enchanted and lost all her powers. Two years later, in order to save Princess Nicholas, her right arm was broken, and she was left disabled. So she developed a cowardly and humble character and learned medicine to kill the time. The physical handicap and the change in personality made Princess Nicholas despise her and repeatedly drop hints that she'd better withdraw the engagement with him.

Helena, who had long coveted the position of Princess Nicholas, abetted Caroline to use "death" to force Prince Nicholas to change his mind, but she secretly murdered Caroline.

"Since you are dead, from now on I will take over your life. You can rest assured ..." Bella Clark, no, Caroline Bennett, smiled, "I will live for myself ..."

In her previous life, she died for her nation, but in this life, she no longer wanted to live a life of swords and blood, and just wanted to live an ordinary one. She pretended to be the original Caroline to make her engagement with Prince Nicholas end. Now they were over. There was no connection anymore.
