Chapter 00. Prologue
I am the sole legitimate heir of Helbatro Mayuna Kisomalos, the most infamous tyrant in history. In other words, I am Vishnabel Lorowi Kisomalos, the only princess of this realm.
I was just executed by quartering.
Yet now I find myself sitting in the Death Row Waiting Room.
“…?”
Why?
I was clearly torn apart and died from quartering just moments ago, so why am I here again?
Watching the executioner check his pocket watch, I can predict that in three seconds he will say, “It’s time for you to go.”
3,
2,
1.
“It’s time for you to go.”
“No, I won’t gooooooo!”
Am I insane? Why would I go back there?
Do you have any idea how agonizing it is when five oxen pull my limbs and head from all directions?! And the worst part is how agonizingly slow they move—the terror is absolutely unbearable!
I won’t go!
Have I lost my mind? Please, save me!
‘Kisomalos, you haven’t even come for memorial offerings these past years, but if you appear now with a flash and save me, I swear I’ll devote my entire life to serving you, I beg youuuu!’
Flash!
Darkness descended. From the depths of absolute black nothingness, a beautiful man radiating golden light—Kisomalos—appeared with a dramatic flash.
I felt a surge of fury. This Kisomalos, who had neglected family duties and never even shown up for holidays, suddenly overlapped in my mind with my father, who neglected state affairs.
So I decided to beat him first and ask questions later.
“Princess Uppercut!”
As I unleashed the Princess Uppercut and pummeled him like a dog, Kisomalos tapped the ground twice in surrender. Two taps on the ground in a fight signify surrender.
Being a fair fighter, I decided to give him a chance to speak.
[Descendant! We’re in serious trouble! You, me—we’re both in serious trouble!]
A beautiful man with fluffy golden hair that radiated the divine presence of the Golden Lamb, the symbol of our nation and the Imperial Family, spoke in a flustered manner. Despite his sharp, upturned eyes and intense crimson gaze that should have made him look fierce, he somehow appeared vacant and foolish.
“Serious trouble began the moment my father ascended to the throne.”
[No, you don’t understand! The more that trash of a man lives on, the more my divine power shines, I’m telling you!]
What is this? The more human garbage my father becomes, the more Kisomalos’s divine power shines?
Then haven’t I lived my entire life completely wrong? I studied hard and lived with such integrity!
[That’s not the point! While I was trapped, the last legitimate heir was executed by quartering!]
“Kisomalos, you were trapped? Why!”
[I don’t know! That’s not important right now!]
“What could possibly be more important than discovering why Kisomalos was trapped and the fact that I, the last legitimate heir, was executed by quartering!”
As I cried out in anguish, the beautiful man shook his shimmering golden hair and spoke urgently.
From somewhere, the sound of a ticking clock echoed.
[I extinguished the immediate crisis by spending all my divine power, but the deity I asked for help demanded a steep price! You’ll have to handle the consequences!]
“Consequences? What exactly did you do, you pretty-faced golden-haired punk!”
[Listen carefully! I exhausted all my divine power rewinding time! But since this was only a down payment, if I can’t gather enough divine power to pay the balance by today, I’ll face forced execution for debt default!]
“What on earth are you talking about!”
[You don’t even know the law of conservation of mass, you idiot! Half a bean is still half a bean, no matter how much you rewind time!]
“If the household deity is an idiot, then of course the legitimate heir is an idiot too!”
I struck my chest repeatedly in frustration at this infuriating household deity. At that, Kisomalos let out an even more exasperating sound.
[That’s actually a fair point!]
What are you even saying, seriously!
Rewinding time? Debt default? Forced execution?
Does this have anything to do with what I just suffered through and what’s happening to me again right now?
[Just remember this. Restore my divine status! I’ve already received sixteen years of time.]
Why sixteen years specifically!
[Because eighteen is the prime of youth!]
He’s truly our household deity, but his actions defy all logic. Why does he handle things in such a ridiculous manner?
The more I thought about it, the more my mind spun in circles. Then Kisomalos spoke to me in a fading voice.
[I’m sorry for arriving so late. Because I intervened midway, you’ll probably have to go through it one more time.]
‘Go through it one more time? What do you mean?’
Could it be that? No, that can’t be right.
I kept telling myself it couldn’t be. But soon enough, the darkness lifted.
“….”
And I was transported to the Execution Ground.
A cow lowed softly in the distance.
