IT WAS A POLITICAL MARRIAGE MEANT TO SYMBOLIZE PEACE BETWEEN THE EMPIRE AND THE KINGDOM. THE BRIDE, ARSINOE THEA NEOPHARNAS. EVERYONE SAID IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE JUMP IN STATUS FOR ME. AFTER ALL, AS THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF A SLAVE-BORN CONCUBINE, I WAS A PRINCESS ONLY IN NAME. MY ARSINOE. WHISPER THEY WEREN’T WRONG. EVEN I THOUGHT MYSELF LUCKY. IN MY FIRST LIFE, I BELIEVED THIS MARRIAGE WOULD BRING ME HAPPINESS. I'VE COME TO SEE YOU, ARSINOE. JUDGING BY THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES, YOU'VE STILL GOT SOME FIGHT LEFT IN YOU, CROWN PRINCESS. SPARE ME THE PLEASANTRIES. HAHA, DON'T BE SO COLD. I'VE COME WITH GOOD NEWS. HAVE YOU FINALLY... ...TAKEN MY HOMELAND, PHARNAS? YES, AND IT'S ALL THANKS TO THE INTEL YOU PROVIDED. THAT HIDDEN PASSAGE, IN PARTICULAR, WAS QUITE USEFUL. IT LED STRAIGHT INTO THE ROYAL QUARTERS. THAT DAMNED COMMANDER GAVE US SOME TROUBLE, BUT WE ANNIHILATED EVERYONE WITH RELATIVE EASE. WHAT ABOUT... M-MY MOTHER...? IS SHE...? AH. YOUR MOTHER HAD ALREADY BEEN KILLED. ONLY HER BODY REMAINED. THIS IS WHO HE TRULY IS. HAH, ARE YOU CRYING? YOU ALWAYS ACTED AS IF YOU WERE INCAPABLE OF EMOTION. WHAT A RARE SIGHT. I FAILED TO STOP HIM. YOU'LL KILL ME NEXT, WON'T YOU? I HAVE ONE FINAL REQUEST. PLEASE ALLOW ME TO TAKE MY OWN LIFE. GRANT ME THE MERCY... ...OF DYING BY THE BLADE OF MY HOMELAND'S ANTIQUITY. HOW PITIFUL. DO YOU REALLY THINK I'D DENY EVEN THAT MUCH MERCY TO MY OWN WIFE? HERE'S THAT PRECIOUS, FILTHY GARBAGE OF YOURS. WELL THEN... FAREWELL, ARSINOE. DISGUSTING TRAITOR. I MADE ANOTHER CHOICE THAT LED TO RUIN. I'M SO STUPID. THE DAGGER OF OHN. I'M LIKELY THE ONLY ONE ON THE CONTINENT WHO KNOWS THIS BLADE'S TRUE POWER. EACH TIME I DIE BY THIS DAGGER, I RETURN TO THE SUMMER OF THE YEAR I TURNED 12. I HAVE ALREADY LIVED THREE LIVES, AND IN ALL OF THEM, I WAS DECEIVED BY A WARMONGERING CROWN PRINCE, PAYING FOR IT WITH MY LIFE. THE FIRST TIME, I TRIED TO STOP HIM. THE SECOND, I RAN AWAY. THE THIRD, I BECAME HIS INFORMANT, BUT THAT, TOO, WAS NOT THE ANSWER. HE LURED ME IN WITH HIS SWEET WORDS, THEN DISCARDED ME WITHOUT HESITATION ONCE I OUTLIVED MY USEFULNESS. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE... ...THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME. IF MY FOURTH LIFE ENDS THE SAME WAY, THEN I WILL CHOOSE DEATH'S ETERNAL REST. I'M BACK. I'VE RETURNED TO THE SUMMER WHEN I WAS 12. GOODNESS, ARCY? WHAT'S WRONG? WHY ARE YOU DRENCHED IN SWEAT? DID YOU HAVE A BAD DREAM? MY GENTLE, WARM MOTHER. OH MY. THOUGH WE WERE TREATED LIKE BURDENS BY THE ROYAL FAMILY, MY CHILDHOOD WAS PEACEFUL BECAUSE OF HER LOVE. MY LIFE ONLY BEGAN TO UNRAVEL... ...AFTER A MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS TOOK THE KING'S EIGHT SONS AND FOUR DAUGHTERS, ONE AFTER ANOTHER. WHEN THE EMPIRE DEMANDED A MARRIAGE ALLIANCE, I WAS THE ONLY ROYAL BLOOD LEFT. BUT THIS LIFE WILL BE DIFFERENT. I'LL MAKE SURE OF IT. MOTHER, I HAVE A REQUEST. WHAT IS IT? PLEASE SEND ME TO THE MILITARY ACADEMY. WHAT? IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOU AND THIS COUNTRY, I WILL BECOME A SOLDIER. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Dawn of Vengeance #1](/series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6/chapter-1-x8qrw9) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
