A fortune-telling princess Chapter 189

“I’m thinking of opening a shop named after you. I’ll handle the investment and operations—you just design and make the clothes. We can discuss profit sharing later.”

Juella’s expression turned blank.

Her head was spinning at the sudden offer. She had no idea what was happening anymore.

Camilla smiled warmly at her.

“Let’s do this together. I’ll put you on a mountain of money.”

“……”

As Juella stared at Camilla’s outstretched hand, her eyes trembled with uncertainty.

But after only a moment’s hesitation, her expression hardened with resolve.

“…You’re seriously the worst.”

And then she took Camilla’s hand in a firm grip. A faint smile had appeared on her lips before either of them realized it.

Side Story: Yes or No

Breaking News from the entertainment world: Actress Lee Sia attacked—rushed to emergency room!

The assailant was none other than her own father. A few years ago, he was investigated for threatening her with financial demands.

Following a restraining order, he had apparently harbored a grudge and planned the attack. Lee Sia was transported to the hospital and is reportedly in a coma.

The father, arrested on the scene, claimed “The victim inflicted those injuries with psychic powers,” and is undergoing a psychological and drug evaluation.

Lee Sia had previously opened up about being abused by her father as a child and spoke candidly about her family struggles.

[Netizen comments supporting Lee Sia and condemning her father]

Contrary to the headlines, Lee Sia was actually in better condition than expected.

Her manager, Hyunseok—normally gentle and reserved—was uncharacteristically furious. He had been utterly shocked to find her collapsed and covered in blood.

After Hyunseok left, Sia picked up her phone and searched for news about herself. A faint smile tugged at her lips as she read the comments. Having someone worry about her, get angry for her—it was an entirely foreign experience. But it warmed her, made her laugh without even realizing it.

“Looks like I earned a few points this time too.”

When she opened her system window, she indeed saw 4 points had accumulated.

Name: Lee Sia
Agility: B
Stamina: D
Looks: S+
Acting: A (EX)
Singing: B (A)
Talent: B+ (A+)
Available Points: 4

“Hm, investing in acting is probably best, right?”

She still had a long way to go if she wanted to match her past self’s acting level.

“I wonder how things are over there…”

How was her family doing in the other world? That family wasn’t easy to deal with either.

Ding. Ding.

A flashing red light made Sia tense. Her system alerts used color codes—red meant emergency.

Was someone trying to harm her again?

Quickly, she opened the notification window.

Notice from the Soul Nation:

A choice has been presented to you by former Soul Administrator Dormann.

You, who have lived such a painful life… You, who hold no good memories from childhood.

For you, we have prepared an option:

Life Reset

All memories of your current life will be erased. You will be reborn into a new life, with a loving family and fortunate circumstances.

However, your past memories will be completely erased. You will start over as an innocent soul.

“Family…”

Sia repeated the word to herself. It felt foreign, yet oddly nostalgic—something warm, something she yearned for.

This is a one-time choice granted in a lifetime.

Time remaining: 167:59:58 (one week).

At the bottom of the alert window, red text flashed boldly:

yes / no

“My choice is…”

Chapter: The Mirror of Truth

Camilla visited the Jayvillan family estate, exchanging greetings with Petro after a long time.

“Thank you for allowing my visit.”

The Jayvillan Duke soon appeared behind Petro.

“What, it’s just the library. Of course I can let you in. It’s not like you’re asking for the sword. Nothing difficult about it.”

Camilla had come today precisely to use the Jayvillan family’s library, just as the Duke had said.

…Seriously, I don’t want the damn sword.

Watching the Jayvillan Duke still nervously guard it like she might take it, Camilla was dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Zeno—who had been at Camilla’s side through everything—finally spoke about that strange group they were investigating.

He mentioned the Eva Church.

[Wasn’t that the one Mars supposedly destroyed a long time ago?]
