“Really? I thought you sent me to die alone in a foreign country.”
“Hey! You should be thankful to us. Where else can you find brothers who share such a good opportunity?”
Levanfell, my older sister, really acted as if it was her merit that I had succeeded, tapping my shoulders.
All of this conversation and behavior were witnessed by the maids and knights stationed in the Damask Palace.
‘Did these fools forget that this is my palace?’
No, no. They didn’t forget. They just lack caution.
They do not feel the need to be careful with me. They must not have thought that the maids in this palace would support me.
I’ve always been like a pebble in their shoes to my family. They didn’t need to care.
“If you want to talk nonsense, at least dress it up with sincerity.”
“What? What did you say?”
It was a moment when I was reminded of how ignorant a fool who grew up in peace without war or crisis due to the continental agreement can be.
“I suppose. If my sisters and brothers were smart, you would have killed me before I grew up to become the Empress. Instead of being humiliated by the Lupeon Kingdom all the time. …You don’t want to get your hands dirty with blood, your heads don’t work, and you’re going to die from exhaustion?”
“You must be insane! Do you really want to die?!”
My brother Lucenia, grinding his teeth, poured invective at me.
“You can’t see it because you’re going to be the Empress? You forgot that you haven’t even had your wedding ceremony yet?”
“Is there any other cunning scheme you’re cooking up?”
“What do you think Father is doing right now?”
Lucenia’s brother scorned with a sinister look.
“Father is trying to convince His Majesty to replace you with another child as Empress.”
“Oh…”
He really went to do such a useless thing.
“The Emperor would rather want a recognized princess than something like you.”
“I think differently… but if that’s what you think, well, thought is free, so go ahead.”
‘That’s why habits are so scary.’
Look at this. Barking without realizing the subject, even when they should be crawling.
It was so incredible that they fell for such an obvious provocation and spilled their carefully laid plans like this.
I wondered if they had grown when I wasn’t looking, but it felt like a waste of time preparing myself, knowing full well what my siblings were thinking.
With such shameless expressions.
“So did you come here with the plan to kill me this time too?”
“Ha. Scared now that you know? It’s obvious.”
It’s too obvious. There’s only one reason why my family would gather together like this.
“You’ve tormented me in the Lupeon Kingdom, but you’ve never tried to kill me with your own hands. …Is it because once I’m married, I’m no longer part of the Lupeon royal family?”
“Nonsense. You were never part of our family to begin with. Don’t try to sneak in.”
Their composure remained even in the face of such blunt words.
There was no one who first came to me, apologized, regretted selling me, feared I might be dead. No one said sorry.
That’s probably why our relationship has grown so distant.
“Since my sisters and brothers don’t consider me family first. Then I don’t need to consider you family anymore.”
“…What?”
“You grew up with me for decades, so you know. I’m the type to give back when I’ve been taken.”
“What nonsense are you…”
Then the servant who had followed the king entered the reception room. It seemed he had come to deliver the king’s letter.
“Teriella. It’s over for you now.”
Certainly, here is the translated passage:
“Ugh, don’t regret it, just read it and tell me.”
I clucked my tongue in pity. Lucenia, my older brother, who had eagerly unfolded the king’s letter, turned pale with thought.
“Why? Didn’t things go well as you thought, brother?”
It’s obvious without reading.
Levanfell’s proposal to marry me was neither because of his lack of power nor his need for a woman.
It’s because of the divine power I have. No one else could have it.
“What, what is this…”
“Why can’t you assess the situation? Did you forget what His Majesty said earlier? He told you to take me as the empress of the empire. What could that mean?”
“Why… Why with such a child…”
“It means he has no intention of welcoming anyone other than me as the empress.”
My family still had expressions of incomprehension. It’s understandable since the me they met after a long time had become a completely different person from a few months ago.
“Tomorrow, when the day dawns, I’ll tell His Majesty that my sister and brothers are planning to kill me.”
“What, what nonsense are you talking about?! When did we ever plan to kill you?!”
Confusion passed over my family’s faces as things didn’t go as planned and went awry.
“Te, Teriella. Do you think anyone will believe such a lie?!”
“It’s not a lie. Everyone here saw and heard it.”
Leriah, my older sister’s face turned pale.
“My brother Lucenia just said with his own mouth ‘Did you just find out?’ earlier, didn’t he?”
“You… you…”
“Do you still see this place as the Kingdom of Lupeon? Do I look like the Lupeon princess who couldn’t do anything?”
“…”
“How does it feel to face reality? This is my palace, and the people here are not those from the royal palace who scorned and belittled me.”
“You… you…”
“You should have been careful with your words. I thought only fools in books revealed all their plans out of excitement… ugh.”
None of my family could open their mouths. Probably because they had never heard me speak like this before.
My siblings, who had dominated in the Kingdom of Lupeon until now, treating me with no fear, had never been treated this way before.
“What will happen if His Majesty finds out about today’s events? You know his reputation, don’t you?”
“You… How could you do this…!”
“But considering our past relationship as a family, I’ll give just one of you a chance.”
“A chance?”
I smiled prettily, resting my chin, facing my despairing family.
“One person who kneels and apologizes first. I’ll forgive just that one person.”
“!”
“Blood is thicker than water, and the knee is lighter than life. Don’t lose everything you have trying to preserve your pride… sister, brothers.”
I met my family’s eyes calmly.
“What will you do? Kneel.”
No sooner had I finished speaking, my utterly selfish siblings, who had not a trace of family love, rushed to be the first to kneel, pushing each other out of the way.
Really foolish siblings raised in comfort.
‘If you had thought a little, you would have known I wouldn’t tell the Emperor. Why would I tell Levanfell and turn a family fight into a national one?’
My selfish family seemed unable to think of that, blinded by their mere desire to live.
I just looked on as they fought and pushed each other into the pit, each one wanting the others to die instead of them.
“I did! I knelt first!”
“No! It’s me! Save me! Look at my pants! My pants are dirtier!”
I stared intently at my siblings, pleading that they had knelt first, then opened my lips.
“I didn’t know my sisters and brothers wanted to apologize to me so much. …Then.”
“Huh?”
“Can you show me how sorry you are? Perhaps with a dance.”
Goal achieved.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
