Episode 26: My Wife (5)
T/N: Bonus 5.
–
‘Should I comfort her with something?’
Not knowing Dionna’s current state of mind, Aristine pondered earnestly.
She could say they looked so close to each other that she mistook them for lovers, or maybe that they looked good together. Something like that might work.
Aristine made her expression look as gentle as possible, looked at Dionna and said softly.
“Still, I thought you two were really dating. That’s how close you seemed to me…Well, since you grew up with Tarkan, even Tarkan must have considered you quite special.”
“I have never once thought that.”
An immediate denial came out of Tarkan’s mouth.
Dionna glared at Aristine, feeling like her head was spinning.
‘You’re doing this on purpose to ruin me, aren’t you?’
She couldn’t just leave like this.
The angrier she was, the cooler her head became. Even if she made a fuss right now, she would only hurt herself.
Dionna sank to the floor and tear streamed down her cheeks.
“You can’t do this, Your Highness.”
Her sea-blue eyes were wet and filled with distress.
“I have always been by Your Highness’s side, offering support but I don’t care even if you treat me coldly. But my older brother…”
Dionna bit her lips and lowered her head.
“To my older brother, please don’t act like you don’t remember him…”
Tarkan was blinded by Aristine but even if his heart wasn’t moved, those words should move the heart of Mukali or Jacquelin.
As leader of the warriors, Tarkan should have no choice but to take his warrior’s feelings into consideration.
With her head lowered, Dionna smiled with satisfaction.
“Dionna.”
And sure enough, Tarkan called her name.
‘I knew it.’
Dionna made her expression look as pitiful as possible then she slowly lifted her head.
“Yes, Your Highness…”
“The only reason I haven’t thrown you in prison right now is because of your brother.”
“Huh…?”
Dionna couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
This wasn’t right.
Tarkan should be conscious of the warriors and choose to pacify her.
But why.
“Even your life is not enough to pay for your crime of disrespecting my wife.”
Tarkan’s eyes were looking down at her chillingly, without a single shred of warmth.
“I-I…”
Dionna looked around as if asking for help.
But even Mukali and Jacquelin were looking at her with cold eyes.
This wasn’t right.
She didn’t know if she should stamp her feet or glare at Tarkan with resentment.
At the very least, he should be sorry to her, or filled with guilt…!
“Dionna, do not smear your brother’s name any further.”
Mukali said with a hardened expression.
“Smear…you say?”
Jacquelin, who was next to Mukali, heaved a deep sigh and chipped in, “You are sullying Chantra’s reputation right now. How could you utter such absurdity to Her Highness the Princess Consort.”
“I-I…”
Dionna’s eyes fluttered aimlessly.
“Dionna, this is not a simple marriage. It is a marriage of national importance. Yet, you dared to think of alienating both of our Highnesses. I never took you as someone so thoughtless.”
When even Durante added his reproach, Dionna couldn’t stand it any longer.
She kept trying to deny reality and her mind floated dizzily.
This wasn’t right.
This couldn’t be happening.
How could everyone do this to her?
‘All because of a princess who suddenly barged in!’
The fire which had extinguished in Dionna’s eyes was ignited again.
“You all are being too much!”
She raised her voice and sprang to her feet.
“I just, all I did was love His Highness Tarkan! Is that so wrong?”
“Dionna!”
“Everyone knows that I have loved His Highness since I was young! For so many long years! For me, it has always been His Highness Tarkan alone!”
Veins bulged on Dionna’s neck.
“I am the only one who truly cares for His Highness…! I know His Highness the best! I am the only one who can make him happy!”
Everyone said so.
Even the young misses agreed that Dionna was the best match for Tarkan.
‘Until this princess arrived…!”
Dionna pointed at Aristine fiercely.
“But this complete stranger who doesn’t even know what His Highness Tarkan likes, this wench—.”
Smack!
At the strong impact, Dionna’s head and body spun at the same time.
Dionna fell to the floor and her body shook.
The burning pain on her cheek didn’t feel real. She grabbed her left cheek with a trembling hand.
It was hot. It stung. And it throbbed with pain.
‘Did he really just hit me? Me? Brother Chantra’s sister…?’
Dionna lifted her head and glared at Mukali.
‘How dare you of all people?!’
“Apologize to the Princess Consort.”
Mukali’s tone was as firm as a rock.
Dionna immediately forgot about the pain in her cheek.
‘Apologize? To that woman?!’

Omgg i gasped so many times snxbdnxn everything was immensely satisfying. Altho i didnt expect Mukali to slap!! ohohoho!
Thank you for this chapter
Satisfying ✨
Good job, Mukali!! 😀 Do it again 😈
I love this novel, thank you very much😘😘😘🥰❤️
Thank you so much of this chapter, i do really reaaaaallly feel the need to step on that Dionna bissh head. Aaargh so emotional when I read those block head of hers.
Oooooh…. 😮😮😮
Didn’t know she has a knack to dive straight into the depth of abyss.. Can’t she see the grim reaper scythe is ready to swing?
It’s ok Ruby.. You can hang me anytime.. I’m hooked.. ❤❤❤
Whoa the satisfaction when she got slapped. If I could go there and slap her myself, I would. What kind of entitled brat she is?
Thanksies, Ruby!
What a selfish person she is, literally can’t think beyond her own wants. Still I don’t like that a man hit her.
I’ll be real here, as the one who probably felt and saw the most responsibility from a sibling’s shoes towards Dionna, after thinking it through, I can’t imagine anyone else slapping her.
None of these men are the type to hit women, not unless the other is also a warrior fighting or a criminal, but right now, Mukali is a ‘brother’ disgusted by his ‘younger sister’. If my younger sibling was ready to be so selfish as to ruin everyone’s livelihood by reigniting literal war with pettiness, just because she can’t get the supposed ‘love of her life’, I would want to puke. Not only from the stress of the situation itself, but also, ‘how could they act like that?’ At the very minimum? I would slap them too in order to get their head back on straight, but with the anger and disappointment I’d also feel? Yeah.
And this is also ignoring the fact that they were supposed to be both ‘siblings’ who were very loyal to their lord and should have been wishing for his happiness in Mukali’s eyes.
Mukali has always been a sincere character, and Dionna /bulldozed/ her way across quite a few lines.
(Rereading a bit, but as always, thank you so much for the hard work, Ruby-nim!!
(*¯ ³¯*)♡)
Her brother probably rolling in his grave right now. The only thing she know is to use her dead brother sacrifice for her personal gain, not once she respect nor care why he did it but i truly believe that her brother sacrifice not to her sister but the bond their share. So this bitch know nothing about her brother.
Yes, bitch slapped her again mukali
oh gosh she dared to call ari a wrench IN FROM OF THE PEOPLE WHO ADORES ARI? ooooh she seeking death this aint even just abt tarkan lol lol lol good luck bitch
Lol, are the maids still there watching? This will spread so fast then all over the empire. Ooooh, I cannot wait for the newspaper headlines.
My heart is thumping with excitement and contentment while reading 3 last chapters. Rubbyy, miss! thankyou so much
I would never have expected Mukali to be the one who slapped her. I thought it would be either Tarkan or Durante 😲.
Thank you for the chapter<3
Hahahahaha each chapter I love Mukali more and more xD🖤🖤
I know Diona reach a crazyness level so intensely, but, she really was thinking that saying wrench to our Aristine in front of the people who most care for her, couldn’t have repercussions?? Really?? XD
Thank so much for your time and for this bonnus Miss ruby 🖤🖤
OH MY GOD THIS CLIMAX IS AMAZING! I can’t believe Mukali slapped the bitch lmaooo she really is delusional though, i can’t wait for the next chapters!! thank you so much for translating!
I need to see Tarkan grovelling at Aristine’s feet for making her think she’s bothersome to him
Gosh… Come on, Mukali. You have 2 hands, she has 2 cheeks. Why didn’t you slapped her twice?😒 Maybe she will gain her common sense after that
Thank you Ruby-nim
See you next Tuesday ^^
It took me a few days to read through all the chapters.
First of all a huge Thank You So Much Ruby for your great work. It reads wonderfully and often I had to laugh at your comments 😀
I love the story! I love the way Artistine is, how awkward she is with human relationships (who can blame her?)
I love Tarkans personality and that he’s really shy (who can deny that at this point? XD) but also that he develops without realizing it. All of the characters in this story are so full of life and detail that you can really immerse yourself in their world. Not least because of your translation Ruby ^^ I can’t wait to read more 😀
She deserves it for exploiting her brother’s death to get whatever she wanted
Cadê o resto da fic? kkkk eu já ia pegar minha pipoquinha pra ler o próximo cap mas não tem próximo 😭😭😭
I love this story so much that I get you a coffee everytime I can and I’m sure others do the same. Thank you so much for your hard work Miss Ruby💜💙💚
omg i didn’t expect that it was mukali who slapped that bonita girl HAHAHAHHAHSHAHAHAHAGAGAHAHAHAGA SERVES YOU RIGHT 🤭
Thank you very much for the chapter!!!
waaaa I’m super happy today to be able to read all these chapters, thank you very much!!
Dionna is very selfish. She said she loves him since the beginning but never thought what Tarkan’s feelings is. Did she really love him or just the image she created from him?
And mukali dont use violence.
I expected Tarkan or Durante but did not expect sweet Mukali to be the one slapping!!!! im so proud if you hun!
*Arin face* do it again
I can even imagine how her brother from the other side, keeps thumping his chest out of frustration as she keeps dragging his name in her valiant yet nonsense speech. I bet he also pity her and keep asking how she became this delusional.
THE WAY I GASPED OUT LOUD!! OMAYGHAD MUKALI BTCH SLAPPED HER YEEEEEES
ahahahaha the fact that it’s mukali who continually exposes and scolds the fuck out of dionna after all her antics to turn him against aristine is perfection. now that’s what i call redemption. our cutie bear is so loyal ‼️
Mukali is sooo big. Imagine how painful it is to be slapped by a bear 🥲
I really enjoyed Miss Ruby translations 💜
