I bought the villains with money — Chapter 1

I bought the villains with money Chapter 1 opens on the scaffold as Diana Viola Ehrenvere faces execution for deceiving the royal family and attempting to overthrow the state for personal gain. The crowd calls for her death while she recalls her life as the only daughter of the Duchy of Ehrenvere, raised without worry after losing her parents at twelve, taken in by her uncle Count Colcos, and promised in marriage to First Prince Dayson through his introduction. Her memories turn to betrayal when Dayson says he never loved her and needed only her power and money to ascend the throne, while Bella reveals her father Count Colcos planned from the beginning to take everything from Diana. As the execution begins, the procedure for raising objections offers Diana hope because of the ancient legend that if three or more people doubt the death, that soul shall be saved. Her maid Janice objects that Diana would never do such a thing, followed by Aunt Cho, her mother's relative, leaving Diana desperate for one more voice. I bought the villains with money Chapter 1 finds its turning point in the arrival of Prince Cassion, long said to have died of illness as a child. He says he came to repay his debt because Diana once tossed him a pouch of jewels when he was fleeing, then formally objects as Cassion Lichte Petrora and demands the execution be halted and the case reinvestigated. Although the order to proceed is still given, his magic message urging her to live reaches her as the execution proceeds, and she thanks Janice, Aunt Cho, and Cassion for caring. I bought the villains with money Chapter 1 closes with Diana hearing a familiar voice telling her not to read novels before sleep and offering to brush her hair, leaving her stunned that a miracle really happened and setting up her second chance without revealing what comes next.
