The Executed Saint Reincarnates as a Princess and is Loved by Her Older Brothers - Episode 56

Fifteen years ago, Lionel knew that the forbidden technique he had desperately attempted had succeeded.

Because Lionel remained one-eyed.

It’s the same as the saint’s power. If you can pour healing power to cure diseases and injuries, the backlash will return to the saint herself. If there is no healing effect, there is no backlash.

Similarly, the forbidden technique used by Lionel also does not require a sacrifice if it fails. Therefore, the fact that Lionel’s left eye remained lost meant that Juliet’s soul had successfully reincarnated.

“I knew that Jill had been reincarnated somewhere in the world. I never imagined it would be as a member of the imperial family, though…”

“Did Lil know that my true self was Jill? Since when?”

“It was in the imperial castle town, the first time I met you.”

“Right from the start!?”

Angela was surprised, but then she remembered that the man she had just met at that time was Lil.

When you think about it, it’s a strange story. No matter how strong the impression is, a ten-year-old boy and a twenty-five-year-old young man shouldn’t be connected.

Perhaps, thanks to the sacrifice made by Lionel, he was deeply engraved in the very foundation of the soul upon being reincarnated.

Still, Lil is the same person. It’s true that there were traces of the past.

However, Juliet and Angela look completely different. So why was Lionel able to see through it?

“I’ve completely changed my appearance, yet you recognized me so well.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Because Jill is often called shabby and scruffy…”

“I don’t think so. You’ve always been more beautiful than anyone else, both in the past and now.”

Angela blushed at the brazen remark.

Not knowing how to respond, I was opening and closing my mouth, and Lionel whispered with a serious expression.

“That’s true. You haven’t changed at all. Those beautiful purple eyes… my favorite color.”

“Did you recognize me just by the color of my eyes?”

“And I also saw the stigmata.”

“Huh!?”

“When I first met you and picked you up… I saw the bruise on your neck.”

When he was holding Angela sideways. By chance, due to the angle from directly above, Lionel could slightly see her neck.

A bruise like a rose flower—just like the one Juliet had, a saint’s stigmata.

“I thought for sure… with the same eyes as Jill, the same stigmata…”

A joy beyond words surged through Lionel’s entire being.

Jill is alive. Reborn, and now right in front of me.

At that time, Angela was dressed in a simple cape, but her skin and hair were well cared for, and she did not appear to be oppressed as she once had.

Lionel’s wish had been granted. Jill must be living happily.

Encountering Jill after his reincarnation was the greatest joy for Lionel, but he had no intention of getting involved further.──Until that evening, when he reunited with Angela at the palace banquet.

Lionel, who was pretending to be calm, was somewhat shaken by the fact that Jill had been reborn as a princess.

I was shaken, but──the execution of the king’s order, which I had never been motivated to carry out, was abandoned in that moment.

Jill is the world’s greatest treasure, the supreme angel descended to Earth. It is unthinkable for her to marry Nathan. She doesn’t care what punishment she might receive.

Even though he thought so… In the end, he couldn’t refuse her request and ended up bringing her to this country. Lionel thinks to himself that he is truly weak when it comes to her. When he is gazed at by Jill’s purple eyes, he just can’t bring himself to deny her wishes.

Lionel pressed his fingers against his furrowed brow.

“However, I never expected to be reincarnated with my past memories intact… Is this also a side effect of the forbidden technique?”

“It’s not a hindrance.”

Angela shook her head with a laugh.

“Thanks to the forbidden technique. I’m glad I didn’t forget Lil. I’m happy to remember you.”

This time it was Lionel’s turn to blush.

As if drawn together, the three pairs of eyes cross paths.

“Jill”

Lionel’s face, which had looked at Angela with a loving gaze, in the next moment, was filled with a chilling hatred.

“When you died… I couldn’t help but want to destroy this country, the royal family, everything…”

It was a chilling voice.

Young Lionel was once devastated by the loss of Juliet.

I wept bitterly at the cruel end of the one woman I had admired, and I cursed everything that had killed her with great intensity.

The boy wished to destroy everything: the foolish royalty, the shallow people, and his own powerless self.

“But I couldn’t. This is the country that Jill protected…”

Even after her unfortunate death, Juliet’s brilliance lived on brilliantly within Lionel.

Juliet was a genuine light that was not tainted by the impurities of the world. Her sanctity and beauty were eternally unchanging for Lionel.

“I wanted to live a life that wouldn’t bring shame to you. Because Jill surely doesn’t desire revenge.”

“Yeah. I don’t want it.”

Angela immediately agreed.

“I don’t want the people of this country to suffer. The fact that I died from a false accusation has nothing to do with the citizens.”

Touching Lionel’s hand, Angela sincerely thanked him.

“Thank you, Lil. For protecting the people of Rochelle.”

In the entire Coral Kingdom, signs of wear and tear were noticeable, but the people of the Rochelle territory appeared healthy, and the children were full of energy.

Lionel has devoted himself to the territory for the past fifteen years.

I couldn’t save all the citizens, but I must have protected far more people than if I had let my personal grievances drive me to commit heinous acts.

If Lionel had died in a mutual stabbing with Nathan, how devastated Angela would have been. Even if Lionel himself was satisfied, she would have been inconsolably sad.

“Thank you, Lil. For understanding my feelings.”

Rather than festering, rotting, and being consumed by revenge, Lionel lived the life that Juliet always wanted.

“Strange… Riru has become older than me…”

Lionel’s hands are firm and large. It was deeply moving to think that he had been a younger boy in a past life, but now he had become an older man.

It’s a bit late for this, but, Lionel shrugged his shoulders.

“What should I call you?”

Is it Juliet or Angela? It seems he’s unsure how to address her.

Angela smiled like a flower.

“Call me Jill.”

Angela’s nicknames are often “An” or “Angie,” but “Jill” is also used.

Now that I am both Juliet and Angela, the name “Jill,” which means both, feels just right.

Lionel stared straight at Angela.

“Jill”

Yes, I called out with all my heart.

“Jill……!”

A kiss falls on the joined hands.

Even a gentle kiss, as if touching a treasure, was filled with deep emotion.

“Jill, I’ve missed you. I’ve been thinking about you all this time…”

A warm sense of happiness welled up in Angela’s heart.

“I also… Lil, I’ve always wanted to see you…”
