Just the ending spoilers for the novel. Please correct or add onto the spoilers.




So, after Mielle pushes her father down, she screams and accuses of Aria pushing him down. However, Asterope appears before the rest of the house is able to come. This is because Asterope’s bracelet that he gave her breaks (you can see is breaking in the last few panels). This triggered Asterope because the bracelet has powers that can alert him to Aria being in danger and he’ll teleport to her. So, he teleports to be and takes her away. This caused Mielle to be left behind at the scene, as the rest of the servants, family, and guests come.

Asterope surprises Aria and she tells him what happened. And he reassures her that everything will be okay. So, he takes her to this “safe point” in his teleportation and they pretend to buy jewelry and re-buy the same bracelet that broke. The safe-point they’re at is very, very far (close to the boarder of the two kingdoms). And Aria is confused as to why they’re buying jewelry and buying another version of the bracelet. So, he reassures her that he believes she didn’t push the count down. And that the jewelry is for “insurance.” So, once they go back into town, the knights and everyone is looking for Aria because Mielle “claims” she saw Aria push down the count and magically disappeared.

This ensues a whole court case to begin. Where they investigate Aria and Mielle. During the investigation, Mielle keeps insisting that Aria did it. However, since Aria was with Asterope at the boarder buying jewelry and was in hotels there, they had “receipts” to show that they weren’t at Aria’s house at the time of the crime. So, the jewelry from earlier worked as their proof of being far from the accident. Furthermore, since Aria bought a new bracelet similar to the one that broke, Mielle couldn’t use that against her either to show that Aria was at home. So, the court deemed Mielle crazy and the accident as her fault. She is sentenced for patricide and goes to jail and is to be executed.

After the court trial, things enter their last arc. As the count is paralyzed and is unconscious, Aria’s mother takes care of him. Aria and her mother are seen as saints because of the situation. Aria visits Mielle in the jail cell to cooperate with Mielle. Which Mielle stupidly believes. On top of that, Aria tells her mother to prepare for the worst and divorce the count. So, what happens is that they wait for the count to wake up. After he wakes up, Aria’s mother divorces him. And he’s very upset because his real daughter tried to kill him, his son is stupid, and the only people who really cared about him wasn’t his own blood. But, Aria and her mom is like “okay lol. Should’ve treated us better.”

And so, Aria, her mother, and the rest of the servants leave the house and move to a different place. This is because of Cain’s foolish acts as the head of the house.
After they move, it becomes the execution of Mielle. During the execution of Mielle, it is stopped because “someone” had petitioned to save Mielle. This someone turned out to be the orange haired maid of Aria’s. So, after they “saved” Mielle, Aria is hailed a Saint. This is because she saved the sister that tried to kill her and their father. Mielle comes to live with them in their new house as a maid. Mielle is upset at the treatment she is given and sucks up to Aria. Which is obviously something Aria wants. Mielle gets super upset one day because of the way she’s treated as a maid and devises a plan with Aria to kill the orange haired maid. The plan is to invite the orange maid to drink this tea and poison her. However, during the tea party, Aria pretended that Mielle sent Cain an invitation. So, Cain comes and drinks the poison instead of the orange haired maid. Cain dies knowing that he got poisoned by Mielle. This causes Mielle to go into confusion because she meant the drink for the orange haired maid. And the orange haired maid points out that the cup Cain drank was actually Aria’s. So, they arrest Mielle and Mielle goes crazy. The rest of the kingdom hears about this and sided with Aria (the Saint).

During all of this time, Mielle keeps sending letters to Iris. Iris, however, doesn’t care because she is going to marry the prince of another kingdom. So, after the second time Mielle goes to jail, Iris is finally moving her plan to motion. This is stopped by the crown prince Asterope, because he’s actually best friends with the prince from the other kingdom. And so, their plan to revolt goes up into flames.

Both Mielle and Iris are executed together (? They might have been executed at the same time or separately, either way they dead). And things end. BUT, during all of this as well, we find out about Aria’s father! The prince that got banished is actually her father! This explains why she has the turning-back time power and how she’s able to visit the fountain, exclusively only available to royal family. And he lives in the other kingdom! So, he re-enters their lives and tries to win over Aria’s mom. Which he does!!! And so, both the mom and daughter get a happy ending with their loved ones.

Side note: the story of Aria’s mother and father is very sad. As Aria’s father’s parents are being banished, he meets Aria’s mom as a prostitute. Spends time together and he promises to be back for her. However, when he tries to, he couldn’t find her and is forced to leave without her. However, her father and her grandparents NEVER gave up trying to find Aria’s mother. And when they do find out about Aria and see her, they knew instantly who she was because she looks very similar to her father.

There’s side story of their love life and how Aria goes to live in the other kingdom for a hot minute because she wants to be with her family (parents and grand-parents). After their time apart, they have their wedding! And finally get married after all the events.

Once again, I’m sorry if there’s mistakes or anything information I left out. Please feel free to add them down or ask any questions that I or someone can hopefully answer!

So, this is gonna be a long spoiler for the whole novel. Please do give and take the spoilers I’m going to give. It has been a hot minute since I read the novel.



Without further ado, during this arc Kallisto and Penelope get involved in an assassination attempt. Assassins tried to kill Kallisto and Penelope happened to be there with him. As they fight, Penelope knocks out the assassins with her bow. They manage to runaway and Kallisto gets poisoned. However, Penelope is able to bring him back the camp grounds before anything really bad happens to him. When they comeback, the other nobles are “worried” about them. They also find out that the assassins who attacked them were actually also nobles. And they tried to frame Penelope for kidnapping Kallisto and hurting nobles. So, they bring her to court. During this time, her father and Reynold try really hard to defend her. Reynold tells her that he believes she didn’t do anything wrong. But, Derek say she should just admit guilt and doesn’t believe her. So, during court it is proven that she’s innocent and she even proclaims that she and Kallisto are in love. That’s why they were together. This shocks EVERYONE. So, with that alibi, the case ends and the sentence the assassins to jail/death. Kallisto during all of this is unconscious until after the court trial and he finds out that Penelope claimed they were lovers. So, when she went to visit him, he’s like teasing her about it. Her family is totally against it, but she uses him as an excuse that she’s really in love with him. After this, you see Kallisto trying everything to win her over.

There’s this scene where he tells her that she always seems like she wants to die (not exactly, but close to what is said). And that the reason why he carries a sword around her is that if she dies, he will immediately kill
himself to follow her .

So, after the hunting arc comes this arc where Penelope, Kallisto, and Vinter come into contact with the bad guys. Penelope sees the Yvonne with them. They fight in this cave and that’s how Kallisto finds out about the bad guys. I don’t really remember this arc, but it was mainly about finding out what the bad guys are doing and finding out that Yvonne is alive and is working with them.

After this arc, I don’t really remember much. Cause there isn’t anything very memorable until you go into the final stages of the novel. So, if anyone remembers anything other significant after that arc before the last arc. Please help out!

But, back to the story. In the last few arcs, we see everything going downhill. Eckliss goes crazy over Penelope. This is because Penelope and Kallisto announces their love for one another and Eckliss can’t take it. So, what does he do? He BETRAYS Penelope. He brings back Yvonne into the family. And the whole family is “happy.” The things is, the family doesn’t like disregard Penelope. The father & Reynold try their best to still love her. On the other hand, Derek and Penelope is still kind of off. With Yvonne back, Derek becomes even colder towards her — but it’s not like Penelope cares about him anymore.

So, with Yvonne back, Penelope wonders why Eckliss betrayed her. He says he’s for her sake and that if he can’t have her, no one can. After Yvonne’s comeback, things move into the final stages. We have the war. Yvonne and her bad guys team up with Eckliss and his former citizens of his country. Penelope is devastated because she trusted Eckliss. And he tries to be like “it’s all for your sake. You would be happier with me. I love you. If I can’t have you, no one can.” So, things go down. Then, we find out that Yvonne isn’t actually Yvonne.

This takes us into the flashback. We find out that Yvonne was actually dead all along. She died when she went missing. Her body is being used as a vessel by the villains. And I’m the first timeline, we find out that fake Yvonne casted a spell over everyone to make everyone love her so that she can destroy the world. The reason why Penelope is killed in the first timeline is because she comes from a line of ancestors who used to fight against the villains. And is this immune to the magic, but she gets killed However, Vinter being the magician snaps out of the spell, realizes who Penelope is, turns back time to save everyone and sends Penelope back into the other world to protect her. And the time rewind redoes all the whole timeline. This other world being the modern society. Penelope finds this out and saw the similarities of the two world she’s been living in. So, Penelope finds out that it is ultimately her in the end, who has the save the world.

As the fight ends, fake Yvonne tries to kill Penelope. However, Eckliss saves her and realizes his mistakes. His death is a mystery though because his body was allegedly not found, but tbh he dead-dead in my opinion. Anyways, after the fight ends, everything goes into place. Penelope does faint and goes back to the modern world for a bit, where shes in the hospital and sees her family worrying about her. However, she chooses to die in the modern world to be with Kallisto in the original world. She and Kallisto gets married. And one day, she finds this mirror and sees the original Yvonne there. Original Yvonne thanks Penelope for saving her family, tells her she’s jealous about Penelope living a life while she’s dead, and asks Penelope to let their family know that she (Yvonne) is okay and will be okay now. She says this because the family finds out about fake Yvonne being evil and has to go through losing their daughter/sister twice.

At the end, Penelope visits the family. Where she’s close to Reynold and her father, but she tells them that although things have changed, she doesn’t plan to forgive them since they never been kind to her. However, as time passes on, maybe they can work something out. And with Derek, she doesn’t even really want to talk to him because he’s always doubted her. However, Derek makes the first step to stay away from her and tries to support her from then on. Penelope does visit them every now and then, cause she does think of them as family and they do want to make it all
Up with her.

Kallisto and Penelope do get married and have a happy life! It’s a very sweet ending for them because they fit each other well!

And that’s it for the spoilers, please correct or add onto anything I said! Hope this helps everyone. Sorry that it’s so long too lol.
