Chapter 72 – Unfortunate End

“Your Grace,” Trisha whispered.

“What?”

“Sorry to say, but Lady Diana is sensitive to any sound or movement, and I’m worried that it will interfere with her recovery.”

“Oh… Trisha, I’m glad you’re here.” Lucas dismissed the maids. Nevertheless, Trisha kept staring at Lucas. Only then did Lucas realize he was among those to step out.

“I can’t sleep anyhow. I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

“Yes, take a little rest, Your Highness, Lady Diana will be fine.”

“Yes.”

Lucas could not take his eyes off Diana’s face for a long time. Fortunately, her lips were already glowing red. A little relieved, Lucas left the room. He never imagined that he had left the most dangerous person in the world alone with Diana.

“Diana, long time no see.” Trisha diligently dipped a towel into a bucket of hot water, squeezed it out, and wiped it unto Diana’s body.

“How come I’m reminded of the past. It feels like it’s been a long time. Yeah, it’s like a very, very, long time has passed.”

The whispering of Trisha’s voice was calm. Trisha was no longer a greedy, innocent, seventeen-year-old girl. The way she looked at Diana was naturally different.

“We’re always two at this point.”

Sweat formed on Diana’s forehead. The sweat was wiped off without missing a drop. It was an affectionate nursing that contained love in one’s eyes.

“And soon after this moment, I will be alone again.”

Trisha’s red pupils stared at Diana. She had already realized her whole past. It wasn’t the death that this life’s Diana that had pushed forward at will, but the end in the original. To the last minute of Diana’s suicide and her death, who had been locked up in a plot out of envy of Trisha, who had Lucas’ child.

“Then, you cursed me.”

Diana, nearing her death, left a curse on Trisha, and only she could hear the words spoken by Diana.

‘Trisha… I will curse you with my blood flowing now.’

It was Diana who had never said such words in her life, but she was different at the moment of death.

‘In the past, present, and future.’

She vomited blood, but her sultry eyes stared at Trisha.

‘You can never… be me.’

That was Diana’s last words. Trisha remembered that time, then blurted out a short laugh.

Diana was not a naive girl as she knew it all from the very beginning. What did Trisha want, and what did she want to get?

It wasn’t Lucas.

It was not the shining crown of the Empress.
