The Executed Saint Reincarnates as a Princess and is Loved by Her Older Brothers - Episode 45

After the meal, I was able to rest in the room prepared for Angela.

It’s an old room, but the carpet is spotless, the bedding is kept clean, and you can tell that it has been well cared for.

As I was slowly relaxing and healing from my travel fatigue, I suddenly heard the maids’ voices.

“Who would have thought that my husband would get engaged to the imperial princess?”

“Seriously, I thought I was going to faint.”

It seems that because the walls are thin, conversations in the hallway can be heard. The maids are laughing cheerfully, seemingly unaware that their voices are leaking into the room.

“Until now, no matter how many love letters he received from young ladies, my husband never paid them any mind…”

“After all, if the other person is a princess, it makes sense to feel that way. I’m really glad.”

Huh…!

Angela’s heart raced like a drum. The maids whispered with voices full of relief.

“My husband said he would never get married in his lifetime, but… there was a woman he couldn’t forget.”

“That’s for sure. But when it comes to a marriage proposal with the princess, we can’t be hung up on past women.”

Angela was bewildered.

My head is spinning as if I were punched, and I feel dizzy.

An unforgettable… woman…

Lionel was not a proponent of celibacy. He had someone he was in love with.

There was someone who fell in love with Lil…

Fifteen years have passed since Juliet’s death. It wouldn’t be surprising if Lionel had experienced one or two romances.

I don’t know why Lionel didn’t marry that woman.

Is it due to the difference in status, or is there another reason? Or perhaps they were in the midst of trying to somehow come together.

Did I tear apart Riru and the person I love…?

If Princess Angela proposes marriage, even Lionel can’t refuse.

No matter how much it is a contractual relationship, if Angela is in the position of fiancée, it must be quite an eyesore for the real woman.

I have to free him from me soon…

Angela once again vowed in her heart that she must peacefully dissolve her engagement.

Lionel is such a cool and gentlemanly person, so any woman would surely fall for him.──If only the meddler would disappear.

I want Riru to be happier than anyone else…

To the kind and lovely Lil who admired Juliet, I truly hope you find happiness with the one you love.

Even though she sincerely wished for it—why did her heart ache so much? Angela didn’t even understand it herself.

“Alright!”

Putting on the finest just corps tailored for this day, King Nathan of Coral stood tall.

The abnormal weather that had troubled this country for years suddenly ceased as soon as Princess Angela’s visit was officially decided.

In the regions where drought was feared, gentle rain fell, and in the areas where prolonged rain was a concern, the long rain has stopped.

The dark clouds have cleared, the sun has risen, and the unusually bright sunlight is shining brilliantly upon this country.

Endlessly refreshing, a clear and bright day. It’s been a while since we’ve had such a calm climate.

Heaven’s decree is absolute!

Nathan smirked with satisfaction.

I was afraid that the imperial family would see the current state of this country, but it turned out to be quite fortunate.

This is what they mean by a good omen. This must be the result of my usual conduct.

Indeed, God is on my side!

When I sent my half-brother Lionel to the Sapphire Empire, I hoped he would at least face some difficulties.

Carrying the impossible royal command, struggling in agony, heartbroken, I should just bow down to the greatness of this king.

When Lionel reported, “As per the king’s command, the engagement with Princess Angela has been finalized,” I couldn’t help but stand up from the throne and shout in joy.

“Even though you’re useless, you actually did it!” I felt like praising Lionel for the first time.

However, when he continued with, “As for Your Highness, you have decided to marry me,” I felt like my bl00d vessels were going to burst from rage.

I wished for the princess’s abdication, but the marriage partner was already decided to be Nathan. To brazenly try to take that for oneself is nothing short of presumptuous.

“Don’t mess with me! How dare you, a lowly maid’s child, be so presumptuous!”

Lionel probably hasn’t told the princess that he is the illegitimate child of a lowly affair.

He must have sweet-talked her, twisted her words, and manipulated the innocent girl.

The naive and inexperienced princess was completely taken in by that fool’s cunning tricks.

“What a greedy man! This is what you call shamelessness…!”

Although Nathan was outraged, Lionel said he would return home accompanied by Princess Angela to announce their engagement.

My half-brother’s insolent behavior is infuriating, but if I can meet the princess in person, it would be a dream come true.

After all, Nathan is the king of this country. If you were to meet Nathan in person, even a princess would be brought to her senses.

The princess, captivated by the aura of the genuine gem called Nathan, would surely be inclined to easily discard counterfeit stones like Lionel.

And this time, Nathan will finally obtain a bride worthy of him. If he chooses a noble princess as his companion, the royal family’s approval ratings will surely recover.

Princess Angela is young. She should be able to have children soon.

Imagining the scene where the princess gives birth to Nathan’s child, a successor with the bl00d of the emperor, and the people are thrilled, Nathan’s heart swelled with anticipation.
