Reborn I Refuse To Save The Traitors (Margaery) novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Back To Life

"Lady Margaery has been locked up for three days now, and there hasn't been a peep from her. Could she have... died?"

"She'd deserve it if she's dead. Lady Tessa has endured so much all these years, and yet Lady Margaery wouldn't even let her in the door, making a scene about it."

"I think we should lock Lady Margaery up and teach her a lesson!"

*****

In the firewood shed.

A girl, around fifteen or sixteen, curled up tightly, her body shaking uncontrollably as if trapped in a horrifying nightmare.

Her pale pink jacket was filthy beyond recognition.

The butterfly hairpin had long fallen off, and her tangled hair was covered in mud.

After struggling in the pile of firewood for a while, she suddenly jolted awake with a hoarse scream, "It wasn't me! I swear it wasn't me!"

Her voice trailed off, and as she took in her surroundings, the terror in her eyes gradually gave way to confusion.

Hadn't she died?

Her eldest brother Joshua Wallen had cut out her tongue, her second brother Avery Wallen poisoned her, her fifth brother Andrew had severed her legs, her fourth brother Clyde had kicked her out, and she had taken a sword for Tessa.

In the end, her third brother Russell had tossed her body into the cold pond…

Why was she back in the firewood shed in the Chancellor's estate?

In her previous life, she had been locked up here for a full month, leaving her with severe rheumatism that tormented her for three long years.

She hadn't expected to be reborn.

As reality hit her, Margaery Wallen's pale face twisted into a bitter smile.

She was the daughter of the Chancellor's estate. Her mother had died during a difficult childbirth, and the midwife told her father Raul Wallen that only she had survived.

Being a preemie, weak and frail, and her mother's last memory, she became the family's prized possession.

Raul often said, "Margaery, from now on, you have me and your five brothers to back you up. No one in the entire Sinderin City will dare bully you! You're our little princess!"

But in reality, she was the only one who believed those words.

The ones who mistreated her were none other than her own family.

She had done everything to please them, only to end up tragically dying in the cold pond, taking a sword for Tessa.

The memories of her previous life flashed before her eyes, and then faded into nothingness.

Raul's love, her siblings' affection—they had all been repaid through the schemes of her previous life.

This time, she would sever all ties with them and stand on her own.

At that moment, footsteps echoed outside the door.

Someone entered.

"Get up. Take the medicine and go apologize to Tessa. Ask her to come back home."

The man stood at the door, holding a herbal medicine pot wrapped in thick cotton cloth to keep it warm, with white steam rising from the spout, but his words were cold and emotionless.

Margaery looked up at him, her cracked lips barely moving.

It was her second brother, Avery. In her memories, he was always the one who snuck away from the Royal Medical Hall to bring her medicine.

But that was before Tessa arrived.

Since Tessa came, Avery had only remembered to prepare medicine for her stomach problems, forgetting about Margaery's frequent allergic reactions. He had become oblivious to her needs.

Now, it seemed as if Avery didn't even notice the rashes on her wrists and neck. He just stiffly threatened her, "Father said if you don't go, he'll throw you out of the family. You won't be a daughter of the Wallen family anymore."
