Cezanne’s head was mixed with sadness and anger as she watched Elan, who broke in vain before her eyes.
However, Cezanne was unable to move her legs due to the impact she had suffered when she fell.
It’s all over now.
There was nothing she could do. It wasn’t something she could stop.
The immediate disaster was so terrible.
“…Ugh.”
Before she knew it, she felt her body being wrapped around. A thick body surrounded by scales squeezed Cezanne’s body.
At that time, Cezanne saw Fletta approaching her. Fletta’s eyes were dyed red as if they could burn right away.
“If there’s a next life, then…”
“F, Fletta?”
“Not as a cursed princess nor as a filthy bloodline.”
“W, why…”
“Can I be your real sister?”
Soon after, Fletta, on the body of Basilisk, went to Cezanne’s side.
Aaaah!
Faced with Basilisk’s ferocious red eyes in the air, Cezanne and Fletta hardened into stones together.
“Fletta! Fle…”
A piece of hardened tears fell from Cezanne’s eyes to the floor, turning into baseless dust before disappearing.

Tears streamed down and didn’t stop.
How could she keep crying when she was stone dead? Did she get punished for crying in hell? Her whole body was horribly heavy, so she seemed to have fallen to her death.
“Princess, Princess! It’s time for you to wake up.”
Someone shook Cezanne’s body lightly while talking to her. Cezanne was startled by the hands that touched her.
She was sure she had died…what happened?
Cezanne narrowed her eyebrows and wondered for a moment if it was a dream.
However, she could see a familiar face in sight.
“The doctor says you’ve recovered from the flu. Why did you sweat so much?”
Mel, the exclusive maid, wiped Cezanne’s forehead with a clean handkerchief.
It was as vivid as reality.
She couldn’t believe it easily.
Mel, who wiped the dazed Cezanne’s forehead, tried to wipe her face and hands.
“That’s enough. I’m not a child…”
When Cezanne refused, Mel smiled and wiped the sweat again.
“You’re still a child to me.”
Mel placed a hand over the princess’ forehead.
“You certainly don’t have a fever.”
Something was strange when she looked at Mel’s face.
Compared to her face that she remembered…she looked younger? But was Mel always this big?
She didn’t think that was the case…but when she lowered her body, she got smaller.
Did she lose weight?
‘I’m wearing a chemise with these childish decorations?’
Next to the bed was a rabbit doll that her brother gave to her as a gift when they were young, which she had no choice but to leave aside.
Cezanne frowned even more.
“…something’s weird, too.”
She was about to get out of bed, but she lost her balance and stumbled.
She didn’t feel as strong as before like a man who lost his energy.
“Oh, my gosh, princess. Are you okay? I need a doctor right now…!”
“I guess I’m still half asleep. I’m fine.”
Mel tried to help, but Cezanne waved her hand and walked to the mirror herself. The reflection in front of the mirror was not familiar.
Her features were hazy, but her pupils were round and her cheeks were puffy.
She became shorter than a span, and she was in a body that could never be a 23-year-old. Was she about 16 years old at most?
“What the hell is this…”
Cezanne fiddled with her face as she blinked in surprise. Suddenly, she came back from death and became young. She couldn’t believe it.
“The princess is pretty today, too.”
“……”
“Why are you doing that?”
Mel asked with a gentle smile.
“What year is the imperial power now?”
“Yes? It’s 970.”
“What? Not 976?”
She was certain she remembered it as 976, but did it go back six years? Cezanne’s eyes opened wide. She wondered what happened.
“Yes, did you have a dream?”
Was it really a dream? Cezanne pinched her cheek. She felt a stinging pain. It was not a dream.
Was she…was she back?
[If there is a next life, then… not as a cursed princess nor as a filthy bloodline. Can I really be your sister?]
Suddenly, she remembered Fletta’s sad last voice.
‘Did someone fulfill my earnest wish? That’s why I was sent back six years ago?’
It was a miracle to come back in time, not to have lived in death.
“No, nothing. Get out of here. I want to be alone.”
After saying that to Mel, she laid back in bed.
Her mother was in a terrible condition because of her chronic illness.

“Yes?”
As Mel’s eyes turned round as if it was her first time hearing it, Cezanne turned around.
“You said it’s my birthday earlier, didn’t you?”
“Yes, princess. Your 17th birthday is coming up soon.”
“Then, did I come back before my seventeenth birthday?”
