Chapter 12 “Well, wasn’t it because you needed the help of a noblewoman to attend to Her Highness?” No matter how young she was, she was still a princess. A male chief attendant or a commoner maid couldn’t casually carry her. “That’s right. It was to attend to Her Highness. You understand well.” Kashas spoke in the tone one uses to praise a child. Yet his expression remained utterly cold. “If you knew, then why did you show such disrespectful behavior?” “Pardon? What do…-

Chapter 11 “May I ask why you wish to make that castle your residence?” Kashas, who had been observing my expression for a while, finally asked. I couldn’t tell him the real reason. “That’s the castle used to confine imperial criminals, isn’t it?” I pressed a hand to my feverishly hot forehead and blurted out whatever came to mind. “That’s why no one visits it, why it’s ignored and abandoned.” I took my hand away from my forehead and stood up. My feet…

Chapter 10 I nodded to myself and kept walking. I had no idea where I was, but I just walked. I figured if I kept going, I’d eventually find a place to rest. No matter how angry the emperor was at what I’d done, he didn’t seem like the type to casually discard his only shield. If I disappeared, Kiseira would once again become the sole imperial grandchild. ‘Even if I get confined again, well… it’ll be fine. I already know how to get out.’ Yeah. I’ll just hide in the imperial…

Chapter 9 The emperor rested both arms on the desk, interlaced his fingers, and propped his chin on top of them. In that posture he stared at me clearly. “…….” His eyes were the same as the countless gazes I had received while walking all the way here. Condemnation, censure, reproach. And contempt. In that moment, something inside my head went *snap*—and broke. “Is that all you have to say?” At the same time an indescribable emotion surged up, and my mouth opened of its…

Chapter 8 I staggered backward, then turned my back to flee. “……!” But people were approaching from that direction as well. ‘With this body…….’ I bit down on my lip. Even setting aside the fact that I was a child, with these unsteady legs, any attempt to run would be pointless. “Princess Regina has escaped! Help us!” Please, just shut up already. I glared at the woman who was still shouting, seething with rising anger. The reason I had revealed myself as…

Chapter 7 ‘By the way, she really doesn’t seem to know.’ At first I thought she couldn’t recognize me because I was dirty, but it seemed Kisella didn’t know me at all. Had they never met before Regina was imprisoned? Was that why she couldn’t recognize her own half-sister? Or had it been a memory from when she was too young, and she had simply forgotten? “Thank you for lending me the bathroom and the clothes.” At my words, Kisella smiled brightly. “I’ll return the…

Chapter 6 Just like in the original, the shackles that had bound my ankles came undone the moment the door opened. That was precisely why I had only longed for the door to open and paid no attention to the things that actually bound me. Kisella and Yunid stared blankly at me for a while, then turned and walked away. I hurriedly followed behind them, and they did not stop me. “Where are we going?” Two pairs of round eyes turned to look at me at the same time. “My…

Chapter 5 Somehow I felt like crying. At the same time, I was curious. How had Regina been able to listen to their receding footsteps over and over again? How had she been able to endure, time after time, the despair of being left alone once more? I wanted to ask the hallucination of young Regina, but the hallucination had already vanished at some point. ‘……That’s because it was a novel.’ Holding back tears made my nose run, so I sniffed. Yes. It was possible only because it…

Chapter 4 How much time had passed? “Ah.” I abruptly sat up. ‘I should have asked for daily necessities too.’ The thought only came to me belatedly. Just how obsessed with food had I been that all I could talk about was food? “Hey! You! Daily necessities too! Daily necessities!” I urgently shouted with the small amount of strength I had recovered while resting, but the men had already left. “……” Listening to only my own voice echoing back, I flopped down…

Chapter 3 The calm, composed voice held neither mockery nor hostility. Yet an endlessly deep malice could be felt in it, and my blood ran cold. Whether I was “Regina” or “myself,” that woman had no intention of letting me out of here. She wanted me to stay locked up and die. “Who are you?” The sharp voice that left my mouth echoed through the space. The woman sighed. “That’s better than going mad.” Then she said something completely unrelated to my…
