“…This is.”
I was, for some reason, in the palace garden.
But… My body is that of my childhood self… And I’m wearing the same clothes I wore back then…
And there was a girl praying desperately in front of the fountain.
Of course, there was no mistaking her.
“She is… Liz.”
“…What are you doing?”
I repeat what I said the day before.
There is only one reason she is praying at this time.
“…My precious is lying in bed—If I offered a gold coin and a prayer to the palace fountain, Goddess Dahlia-sama would help him…”
The girl continues to pray, her eyes welling up with tears.
Her words, however, are a little different.
After all, she’s her own mother, so she is unquestionably important.
Then I’ll do what I did before.
“Ah…”
“…Two is better than one.”
I rip one of my clothes’ gold buttons and toss it into the fountain, lightly clasping my hands together in prayer.
I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but Liz’s mother miraculously recovered after praying. There is no reason for me not to pray.
But, unlike then, I continued to pray.
I prayed that my mother-in-law’s health would improve, even if only slightly.
And then…
“…As expected, you are very kind.”
Before I knew it, the girl was standing in front of me, smiling.
“Haha… I am not a nice person. I simply love you. I wanted to pray for you, my love, and for all those who care for you.”
“Fufu… Isn’t that what I mean by being kind? That’s why, my beloved Dee-sama, at the time, Goddess Dahlia-sama heard my request and gave you a second chance.”
“Huh?!”
Liz’s words suddenly made me gasp.
What was that time? What is Liz’s wish…!
“Are you the Liz of that time who prayed for me in front of the guillotine?”
“Dee-sama… My Dee-sama… who is clumsier than anyone else, kinder than anyone else, and loves me more than anyone else—I will always, always love you more than anyone else. “
Liz’s body floated away as she said this.
“Liz!”
“Dee-sama… Everyone who loves you is waiting for your return, Marguerite, Hanna, Nora, and Yennie. Now go.”
Liz smiles at me, and my vision becomes bright.

“Mmm… Mmm…”
I felt dazzled and slowly opened my eyes.
The light in my dream could have been caused by sunlight streaming in through the window.
