The Executed Saint Reincarnates as a Princess and is Loved by Her Older Brothers - Episode 8

“Angela, I heard you crawled. Please show me too.”

“Brother Raphael, I already saw it! It was super cute!”

“That’s great, Gabriel!”

Rafael gently speaks to Angela, Gabriel proudly raises his hand, and Michel strokes her younger brother’s head.

Yes, big brothers! Please watch!

Knowing that she was expected, Angela was filled with motivation.

Angela, placed on the fluffy carpet, twisted her body. With a little effort, she rolled over and lay on her stomach.

At this point, applause erupted as if it were a standing ovation.

Ugh… my legs are heavy…

The baby’s body still doesn’t move as intended, and even lifting its legs is quite a struggle.

Uh… right hand, left hand…

Right foot, left foot, Angela consciously moves her limbs alternately forward. Her brothers were ahead, avoiding the obstacles in their path.

Wobble. Stagger. Thud.

The final “thud” is the sound of Angela collapsing onto the carpet.

Even though I was exhausted after taking just two or three steps forward and collapsed face down, my brothers and everyone else gave me a huge round of applause.

“You’re doing great, Angela!”

Michel lifts Angela up while praising her.

From Michel’s hands to Raphael’s hands, and from Raphael’s hands to Gabriel’s hands, Angela was alternately held by her three older brothers, and she breathed a sigh of relief that she had managed to crawl safely for the time being.

“It’s chilly today, isn’t it…?”

It was my mother, Josephine, who murmured softly.

Picking up the lady’s words, the maid respectfully inquires.

“Shall I light the fire in the fireplace?”

“Please do that. We don’t want Angela to catch a cold.”

“Yes, understood.”

In the corner of the room, there is a splendid brick fireplace.

The maid opened the fireplace door, checked for any clogs of ash or issues with the chimney, and then skillfully added the firewood. She placed small twigs and dry leaves in front of the firewood and lit the fire.

As soon as the leaves were set on fire, smoke began to rise. The flames flickered and spread to the firewood.

“Angela, aren’t you cold? Let’s go warm up.”

To Angela, who was seriously practicing to improve her crawling, Michelle called out to her. She picked up Angela and took her to the fireplace.

“See, it’s warm, isn’t it?”

Warm…?

Even with Angela’s immature eyesight, the red color can be clearly seen.

The red of the flames fills the wide-open eyes. The crackling sound of the fire can be heard, sending a shiver down my spine.

In the next moment, a loud cry echoed through the room.

It took Angela herself a few seconds to realize that it was her own crying voice.

“Angela!?”

Michel is surprised, but the crying doesn’t stop.

Nooooooーーーっ!

Overwhelmed by an unusually strong sense of fear, Angela screamed.

“Your Highness? What happened?”

The maids rushed over in a flurry, but I couldn’t even stop crying, let alone respond.

No… no…! Fire is scary…!

The fire rises. The flames burst. Smoke fills the air.

Scary. My body is paralyzed. I can’t move. I can’t breathe.

Scary… so scary…!

Frightened by the raging fire, Angela tightly closed her eyes while trembling.

“I’m sorry, Angela. Were you scared of the fireplace?”

Did Michel sense it? She took Angela away from the fireplace.

“I’ve never seen Angela cry like this before.”

Even the usually calm and composed Raphael seemed flustered, and I could sense the agitation in his voice.

“You were surprised, weren’t you, Angela? It’s okay, you don’t have to be scared.”

Gabriel reaches out and gently strokes Angela, who is sobbing.

Comforted by her three older brothers, Angela finally regained her composure.

Maybe… was my cause of death in a past life fire? Is that why I feel so scared…?

In her past life, Juliet was sentenced to death and executed by burning.

Does the fear of the flames that took Juliet’s life and consumed her body still linger vividly even now that she has been reborn as Angela?

What should I do? The present me is bad with fire…!

Angela was trembling as an unexpected weakness was revealed.
