The Falsely Executed Marquis’ Daughter Wants to Live Peacefully with Fluffy God

The day before the Royal Ball, a private tea party was held at our house.

Only for appearances.

In reality, it was a strategy meeting to nullify Charlotte's magic.

Amidst all the collaborators, there was one person who just showed up to join in.

"Welcome. Sir Will. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to join us today."

Brother had invited Sir Will, the knight escort of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, to the meeting.

"Thank you for inviting me. Siegfried-sama."

Leon and I are hiding upstairs to see how Sir Will behaves as he arrived at the entrance.

"Big brother. Do you think he managed to convince Sir Will?"

"I don't know. But I must say, he did a good job, didn't he?"

"Sir Will. Do you think he'll be shocked?"

After all, not only Chris, the princess; and my uncle, the Prime Minister; but even the gods will be at the tea party. ......

"Maybe, but he's gone back in time, too. At least he won't deny that."

My brother found out that Sir Will has gone back in time, in fact, we have already obtained a report from him.

If I had known that he was the executioner when we first met, I would have been frightened.

But I saw his good intentions in the timeline before the time return. And I have heard about his personality from Brother.

He is a very serious knight. ......

He said that he is heartbroken at the way the Crown Prince is now.

He said that Sir Will would cooperate with us if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could return to normal. I would like to believe in my brother's words.

"Rio, we should get going. We must stand by while that knight goes to the reception room."

"I understand."

Elder brother had also added.

"If he won't cooperate, we can erase his memory," he said .......

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

I joined hands with Leon and moved to the reception room with Transfer Magic.

Sir Will first greeted me in a conventional manner when I entered the reception room, but he clearly had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Siegfried-sama. Isn't this a ...... family-only tea party? I understand that Her Highness the Princess and the Prime Minister have been invited. But ......"

Chris is my best friend and my uncle is a relative.

Sir Will seemed to understand that much.

"Let me introduce you. You know Master and Kikuno-sama, don't you?"

My brother introduced Tojurou-san, who was standing by the wall with his arms crossed, and Kikuno-sama, who was following him, beaming.

"Yes, sir. He is the ambassador of the country of Hinoshima and the Sword Sage of the Wind. I have heard that you are on friendly terms with the Marquis de Grandeur."

"But," he said, giving the gods a quick glance.

He was trying to find out what kind of relationship they had with our family.

"I hope you will not be alarmed, but these are the guardian deities of our country," he announced.

My brother is so nonchalant that it would be impossible not to be surprised.

Sir Will was stunned for a moment and then came back to himself.

"Guardian deities? Are you saying they are gods? No! No way!"

After that, he seemed to be unable or unwilling to continue.

"I know it's hard to believe right off the bat. ......"

It would be hard for him to believe that.

You believe there is a God. But it is rare for a man to meet God.

For now, we wait for Sir Will to calm down.

"I am sorry, sir. I was just overwhelmed."

Sir Will regained his composure in just a few minutes. He was indeed worthy of being chosen as a knight to guard the royal family.

"You must be surprised," she said, "I was surprised too."

Chris didn't seem very surprised, but was that just my imagination?

"Yes. I was very surprised. You already knew that, didn't you, Your Highness? But if the gods have appeared, does that mean that they have come to punish me?"

"Why, do you think so?"

It was Leon who asked.

"...... it's ...... I'm going back in time and starting my life over. And it's a completely different life ...... than, the one before. So I thought you might be angry ...... about that."

Sir Will's complexion became increasingly pale.

He thinks the gods are punishing him.

"If they are going to punish you for that reason, then I must be punished as well."

Sir Will's expression again changed to one of surprise, and he shifted his gaze to me.

"Katariona-sama ...... is? Wasn't it Siegfried-sama who went back in time?"

My brother shook his head.

"I never said I went back in time."

"Wait a minute! Then how did you know that I used to belong to the Royal Order?"

"Before I answer that, I would like to ask you something. Sir Will, did you execute the Crown Prince's fiancée before the time traveled back?"

I confronted Sir Will firmly.

"...... that's ....... No way! Katariona-sama. Is it you? Then the other person with the Light magic, the one who was executed is you?"

He's a very perceptive person. I nodded my head.

"So that's ........ who? I had no idea ...... ."

Sir Will crumpled to the ground.

"Sir Will, did you not remember me?"

" ...... I didn't remember. ...... I was struck by lightning and in shock, I just couldn't remember. I forgot ...... the lady who had the other 'light magic,' ...... her face, ...... even her name."

Covering his face, Sir Will began to speak babbling on.

After returning to this time, he became a knight escort for the Crown Prince and told him the truth. He said that he did not want the tragedy to be repeated again. ......

After listening to Sir Will's story, someone clicked his tongue. It was Leon.

"That was unnecessary," he said, "Rio might have been at peace if you hadn't spoken out of turn to the Crown Prince kid ......"

Unlike before the time return, I was convinced that this was the reason why the His Highness went all the way to our territory.

If Sir Will had not become the Crown Prince's escort knight, I might have been able to live a happy life with my family and Leon without having to deal with the Crown Prince.

"I am sorry. I have made another mistake. I did something unnecessary out of guilt for taking Katariona-sama's life before the time return. ......"

Sir Will's voice trembled as he got down on his knees and apologized.

It was his own way of not wanting His Highness the Crown Prince to make a mistake.

"It's not out of guilt, it's out of your own self-satisfaction!"

I stopped Leon, who was still accusing Sir Will.

"Stop it already! Leon. Sir Will was forced to serve as executioner by order of the king. Even the time return was only because he got caught up with me. It is wrong to blame Sir Will!"

"Rio!"

"You know what? There are things I have to thank Sir Will for. I might not have been able to meet everyone here if I hadn't gotten into this situation. It was a bad part of my life, but it was also a lot of fun."

Chris and I became best friends early on. I got to meet the gods. I became closer to my family. I learned things that I never would have experienced. Most of all, I'm glad that Leon and I were able to be together.

These are my treasures.

"Sir Will. Please look up. And I have a favor to ask you."

Sir Will looked up. His face was wet with tears and anguish. He had been suffering for a long time.

"What is ...... your request?"

"Will you help us? This would mean restoring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to his former self."

He hesitated, then nodded.

"I have always wanted to make amends to the Lady whose life I have reaped with my own hands. If my cooperation will make amends to Katariona-sama, I will gladly cooperate."

"I thank you. But please don't call it atonement. Haven't you been punished enough already?"

"I seem to have caused the lightning to strike and caused the collateral damage, so why don't you let it go?"

Chris said bluntly. It was really like Chris.

"What? Was that lightning magic caused by Her Highness the Princess?"

Sir Will seemed to be shocked again.
