The Executed Saint Reincarnates as a Princess and is Loved by Her Older Brothers - Episode 13

In a fit of exasperation at her brothers, saliva drips from Angela’s mouth once again.

Michel had a look of admiration on her face.

“How adorable you are, Angela! I want to capture this moment forever…”

Wait!

I can’t stand the thought of having my drooling face recorded forever.

Angela flailed her arms and legs, but Raphael and Gabriel leaned forward eagerly.

“Brother, let’s call the court painter immediately.”

“I want you to draw lots of pictures of Angela!”

You’ve already drawn so many for me!

Even if I wanted to protest, all that comes out of my mouth are babbling sounds like “ah-ah” and “da-da.”

Ugh, not being able to speak is so frustrating!

The love the three brothers have for their sister is not calming down at all; if anything, it only grows stronger day by day.

Why do her three older brothers dote on Angela so freely, even though she is the youngest, a girl, and hardly acknowledged by their father, the emperor?

I never would have thought the emperor’s sons would get along so well.

The saint of the Koryu Kingdom is forbidden from stepping outside her country even for a moment. Juliet had never been abroad either, and when it came to royalty, she only knew the royalty within her own country.

If we talk about the royal family members close in age to Juliet, it would be Crown Prince Nathan.

Nathan was the only son of the king and queen. He had half-sisters, but he had never seen him spending time happily with the princesses.

That’s why I thought that those at the top of the country, even with their families, would avoid unnecessary contact and wouldn’t be casual or familiar with each other.

Even so, I never expected the emperor’s sons in the Sapphire Empire, separated by the sea, to get along so well.

If three men with a claim to the throne were to gather, it wouldn’t be surprising if it led to a bloody conflict.

Or is it because of the way his mother, Empress Josephine, raised him?

Always elegant and sometimes strict, Josephine is a talented and beautiful lady who perfectly embodies the words “loving mother” and “wise mother.”

My mother is very kind, but… the queen of the Coral Kingdom seemed even more terrifying…

Nathan’s mother, Queen Diane, was a difficult and unapproachable person.

The husband, King Koryu, was rumored to be unfaithful, having affairs with numerous women other than the queen and fathering many illegitimate children.

Could it be because of that? The queen was sensitive about the rules governing relationships between men and women and was keenly aware of any disruption to public morals.

The queen demanded an excessive level of cleanliness from the maids and servants around her, and even her gaze towards the saint, Juliet, was harsh.

When Juliet was a young girl, she wasn’t particularly guarded, but as she grew up, there were more comments like, “Don’t try to flirt with His Majesty or Nathan,” as if they were warning her.

Not only does Nathan not use flattery, but he also insults me by calling me a despicable orphan. I can’t stand him. There’s no way I could ever like him.

However, there was no way to say to the queen, “No, I dislike your son,” so the only option was to respond, “Yes, I understand.”

Still, every time they meet, the queen insists, “Don’t seduce Nathan,” so Nathan, misunderstanding something, starts grinning and saying, “Oh, so Juliet likes me?”

“I thought I had ended the conversation by denying it with ‘That’s absurd,’ but judging by Nathan’s behavior when Juliet was condemned, it seemed he had always been in love with her.”

It’s different! Seriously, stop it!

Even now that I’ve been reincarnated, I want to shout that from the bottom of my heart.

Putting aside Nathan’s misunderstanding.

In the queen’s painfully harsh attitude, I felt as if I could see her anguish over her husband King Coral’s infidelity.

Since the king was known to prefer heroic figures, he might have thought that his infidelity was a sign of his virility, but for the queen, it must have been unbearable.

Even when a child recognized as the king’s illegitimate offspring appeared, they would soon disappear from the public eye. It was widely rumored that the queen was secretly orchestrating these disappearances behind the scenes.

I don’t know if the rumors are true, but if the king’s illegitimate children were really being secretly buried, it would be so pitiful. Even if the queen hated them, the children had done nothing wrong.

It was a moment that truly broke my heart.

Suddenly, a familiar face flashed through Angela’s mind.

Lil…

What vividly comes to mind is Lil’s figure.

A boy with clear ice-blue eyes, quiet but kind-hearted.

Lil, with a face that somehow exudes nobility, was the last person I exchanged words with before dying in my previous life.

Since meeting in the dungeon of the royal castle, the memory of Lil, who has passed away, wells up in my heart.

Lil’s dark gray hair seemed to resemble someone I knew, but I couldn’t figure out who it was no matter how much I thought about it.

Lil… I wonder what they’re doing right now…?
