The Executed Saint Reincarnates as a Princess and is Loved by Her Older Brothers - Episode 23

“Happy birthday, Angela!”

When I entered the beautifully decorated dining hall, the three princes congratulated me in unison.

The brothers take turns hugging Angela, showering her with kisses on her hands, forehead, and cheeks.

Michel picked up Angela, and Raphael and Gabriel escorted her from both sides, helping her to her seat. As always, they treated her like a princess. A princess, but still.

“Angela is already five years old, huh? Time flies.”

The emperor is also present in the seat of honor. Angela involuntarily straightened her back.

“Thank you very much. Father.”

My father has a bit of a belly and his hair follicles have died, but since he is the parent of strikingly handsome siblings, he must have been quite a handsome young man. Probably.

By the way, my father’s name is Nathanael de Vangreim. I heard that the prince of the neighboring country was named “Nathan,” which has the same meaning as “Nathanael, God has given.”

Since he influences the royal families of other countries, he is indeed a great emperor. Probably.

“You wore the present I gave you. It looks great on you, Angela.”

Mother Josephine smiled gracefully.

With her beauty that defies age and an outstanding figure that makes it hard to believe she has given birth to multiple children, my mother exudes a grace that is like a model of a lady. From my daughter’s perspective, I can’t help but be captivated.

“Yes, Mother. Thank you for the wonderful gift.”

The dress made entirely of lace is delicate and beautiful. Although it is a bit too expensive for a five-year-old girl, I am happy with my mother’s thoughtfulness, so I plan to wear it with care.

“Congratulations, Angela! This is my gift to you.”

“Thank you very much, Brother Michel.”

What was handed to me by Michelle was a golden key wrapped in a velvet ribbon.

“Is this a key? Michel-oniichan, what is this?”

“It’s the key to the most famous jewelry store in the empire. It’s already Angela’s property.”

“Huh!?”

In front of the wide-eyed Angela, Raphael and Gabriel each presented their respective gifts.

“Here is the key to the most prestigious clothing store in the capital. Until now, it has been favored by the royal family, but from now on, it will be a directly managed store under the princess.”

“It’s the key to the tea salon from me. Remember when we went out together secretly before? You were so happy with the tea and sweets, weren’t you?”

Three keys tied with differently colored ribbons were lined up in front of her, and Angela broke out in a cold sweat.

A-aren’t you going a bit too far…?

Are you telling a mere five-year-old girl to become the owner of a jewelry store, a dress shop, and a tea salon?

“Um, big brothers. No, this is not acceptable.”

Returning the three keys to each of her three brothers, Angela shook her head.

What I want is not this, but a different key.

Even though I try my best to articulate my words, it’s frustrating that I end up speaking in a halting manner.

If a five-year-old spoke fluently and smoothly, it would raise suspicion, so this might be fine.

“I want to study!”

Angela desperately pleaded with her parents and brothers for a key to enter the library building within the imperial palace.

On the occasion of turning five, I want to learn the characters of this country, read books, and start studying seriously. I earnestly beg to have a tutor for that purpose.

Because I’m not a baby anymore!

Angela is no longer the helpless infant who could neither move, speak, nor do anything but cry.

Nobility comes with responsibilities. Because I am aware that I have been loved, cherished, and pampered for five years since birth, I strongly felt that I cannot continue to just rely on that.

I want to cherish the people who cherish me.

In her previous life, Juliet lived as the saint of the kingdom, and in this life, she was reborn as Princess Angela, a daughter of the emperor.

Because of this position, because of this special status, there must be things that can only be achieved.

I want to know. What I can do right now──
