The Executed Saint Reincarnates as a Princess and is Loved by Her Older Brothers - Episode 5

It seems that newborn humans’ eyesight has not yet developed.

No matter how much Juliet opened her eyes, the surrounding scenery remained hazy and blurred, as if shrouded in mist.

I can perceive light and darkness, but I can hardly distinguish colors. The only colors I can recognize are white or black, and while I can see human-like shadows moving, I can’t discern individual faces.

Instead, my hearing was clear, and I could clearly hear the surrounding sounds and people’s conversations.

The voices of the maids who take care of me every day.

My mother, who comes to see me once a day, has a gentle voice that speaks to me.

And the bright, lively, and slightly noisy voices of the brothers who come to check on me several times a day.

Juliet strained to listen to the words directed at her and the conversations happening nearby, gradually grasping the names and positions of the people around her, and making an effort to somehow make sense of the situation.

As a result, it was discovered that this is the inner palace where the members of the Vangreim family, the imperial family of the Sapphire Empire, reside.

And now, Juliet is the current Emperor’s first daughter, “Angela de Valois.”

H-Honestly, she really is a princess of the empire…!

For Juliet, who was born a commoner in the Kingdom of Coral and has memories of growing up in an orphanage, the royalty of the neighboring country is a presence far above the clouds.

I really did die, didn’t I? And then I was reborn in the empire… is that it?

My mind was in turmoil, but my body was that of a fresh newborn.

Even though they are my own hands and feet, I can’t move them properly with my own will, and whenever I try to speak, it all comes out as cries.

I’m so sleepy… Is a baby’s body this sleepy…?

While being overwhelmed by an irresistible drowsiness, I repeatedly let out soft yawns.

Even if I stay awake for a little while, I quickly become sleepy. It’s surprising how little stamina I have, especially since I’m not even exercising.

After sleeping for a while and waking up, I get breastfed by the nurse hired for Angela, and just that tires me out and I fall asleep again.

In other words, it means spending most of the day sleeping.

After repeating such a life of either drinking or sleeping for about two months.

Angela’s eyesight has also gradually developed, and she has begun to understand colors and the shapes of objects.

Color…! There’s color!

The first color I recognized was red. Gradually, I began to see warm colors like yellow and orange, and I was deeply moved. However, I still couldn’t see green or blue.

I never thought it would be difficult to see cool colors.

It is a fact that would not have been known without a baby’s body.

Eventually, after three months of age, they were able to track moving objects with their eyes.

It can respond to moving objects, move its head up, down, left, and right on its own, and track the target with its eyes.

Conversely, it means that until now, I couldn’t even move my head as I wanted by myself.

Due to that condition, standing and walking on my own feet still feels like an endlessly distant achievement.

Humans, so immature…!

You’re so weak it’s ridiculous. If you were a wild animal, you’d be dead by now.

However, fortunately, Angela was human, and moreover, she was the emperor’s daughter, so even though she couldn’t move around by herself, many people took great care of her and raised her with love.

“Good morning, Angela!”

The first to energetically burst in this morning was the First Prince, Michel. Ten years old.

“My beloved sister! I’ve missed you!”

Shining brightly with a radiant smile, Michelle rushes over to the crib where Angela is sleeping.

Smiling next to such an older brother is the second prince, Raphael. Eight years old.

“Angela is cute today too, isn’t she?”

Speaking in a calm and polite manner, Raphael also gazes at Angela through the bed railing.

Peeking out from between his brothers was the third prince, Gabriel. Five years old.

“Angela, I love you so much!”

With an innocent and carefree smile, Gabriel stretches up on his toes to peek inside the bed.

While the three brothers surrounded their youngest sister in a cheerful manner, it was their mother, Empress Josephine, who let out a graceful sigh.

“All the girls’ clothes are so cute. I can’t help but get distracted.”

Ah! Is that my dress!?

I thought I saw something like red and pink fabric fluttering around where Josephine was earlier. It seems the maids are spreading out various colorful fabrics and showing them to Josephine.

“This color and this pattern are nice too. Ah, as expected, this one is hard to give up as well.”

After much deliberation, Josephine gave the order nonchalantly.

“From end to end, please make everything into Angela’s dress.”

Understood.

All of it!? Isn’t that a bit too much!?

I don’t know exactly how many outfits there are, but it clearly feels like too many.

“I’ve only had boys for so long, there was nothing to decorate. I’m so happy that Angela was born.”

“When Josephine whispered, ‘I’m more absorbed in choosing than I was with my sons,’ the maids also voiced their agreement.”

“Absolutely! Whatever Lady Angela wears, it always suits her perfectly!”

“As your name suggests, you truly are as adorable as an angel!”

The women, who were playfully arguing with each other, were so caught up in the fun that there was no way to stop them.
