"Are you going to kill me?"

"Huh?"

The man who was bowing down in front of me looked up as if he was taken aback. However, he lowered his head again.

'Ah, the top of his head is golden, but I guess I can worry about that later.'

"Can you kill me without hurting me?"

I meant everything that I said. I wasn't terrified of dying again, but I hoped I didn't have to go through any suffering. I was hauled here with no recollection of feeling pain, either.

"Why do you keep saying that as if I'm a killer? I'm your loyal servant."

'Really?'

I ignored his words. How could a loyal servant betray his master later? This character is unbelievable.

Perhaps anxious about the meaningless prolonged silence, the man in front of me lifted his waist and sent a glance in my direction

"If you betray me, you'll lose your tongue."

His face turned pale in an instant.

'Ah, I'm sick of that expression.'

It was a few days ago when I opened my eyes inside the novel,.

It was a third-rate romance novel that I read to my brother, who loved novels, but everything about it, including the style, flow, and narrative, was a disaster.

Before I woke up here, my brother used to be my whole world. Born as an orphan, was adopted by a couple without any children, but soon, the couple ended up having a biological child. However, the child had a weak constitution and was frequently sick, so my parents blamed me for all the misfortunes.

They used to beat me and starved me for days on end. I eventually abandoned my own life and devoted myself to my younger brother.

I never attempted to study or find work for myself. I had no notion to pursue any interests in my past life.

That wasn't something I had the time for.

I used to despise my brother. He foolishly considered everything I owned to be his. Nonetheless, he was bedridden, so couldn't detest the child to my heart's content, which made it harder for me.

Our relationship was odd, to say the least. We relied on one another, but we wouldn't go so far as to say we adored each other. It was difficult to explain.

Unexpectedly, my brother died before he reached the age of 20. My life's purpose was quickly lost, and my parents kicked me out. They forced me to live on the streets, but I had no intention of living any longer.

No matter how old was or how much money I made, everything was always done for my brother.

'So, what should I be doing now?!

I was stuck in a small room, didn't go out, and kept thinking about it. Life was becoming increasingly vexing and annoying. I didn't even know who I was... I didn't want to be this way anymore. I was quite exhausted due to the fatigue that came with

Thinking about it. Life was becoming increasingly vexing and annoying. I didn't even know who I was... I didn't want to be this way anymore. I was quite exhausted due to the fatigue that came with numbness.

My younger brother's face came to mind. He always had a pale complexion. Oh, that was the only face I could recall. If I had sacrificed myself to live for him... shouldn't I at least be able to recall his happy face? He should've shown it to me.

I had enough. So, hurled myself over a dilapidated building. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt. My body lacked strength, yet I didn't feel any pain. Was death supposed to be like this?

Then, I opened my eyes.

'I wonder, is this what the afterworld looks like?'

Suddenly, some faces came into my view. It was strange, and it was oddly bright for the afterworld, too.The back that stopped moving was shabby.

So, behind the colorful characters, Selina disappeared without even being a shadow.

Yes, Selina. She wanted someone to be with her at the

moment of her death... So did she call me?

A pathetic like me who died alone like her? So she wants me to make her wish come true?

Or did she call me because she seems to have no regrets in life that she decided to die on her own?

Not to make her death be miserable? So that she can

hold her breath on her own before she gets sick and

dies alone?

It doesn't matter what it is.

I'm going to live in Selina's body now, and I'm going to die at the age of 23. Those two things won't change.

I opened my eyes.

The room was brightened by candles and not with a light bulb. It made me conscious that this is the world of Selina.Selina was dying before my eyes.

"Well, once..."

Let me grant the wish of the dead.

***

This is so annoying.

From that day on, I managed to get out of the bed to live a little better life, but whenever I went somewhere, I always get attention, whispering and helping me....

This whole house was crazy.

Why are there so many people....

"Oh, no. What if I die a little miserable? I won't even remember when I'm gone. Sorry, Selina~"

...I lay in a field of grass behind the deserted way, leaving myself in a whirlwind of trouble....

...By the way, I don't think there is a Tsutsugamushi (a type of bacteria) here....

...I was thinking of sleeping while lying down here, but i heard a sound of footsteps along with a rustling sound around me....

I had no intention of opening my eyes.

This is a dukedom and I am a princess... Then I don't have to go around. Let's pretend to sleep.

However, the cause of the rustling sound seemed to have no intention of doing so.

Dug dug dug dug.

Right. You won.

I raised myself hard. It sounds like a sound beyond the grass I was laying.

There was a man there, roughly crawling with his knees, pushing the bush with his hand and raising his head.

A figure of fluttering long hair and wielding a sword.

There was only one thought that came to my mind when I saw him.

By any chance...

By any chance...

Doesn't this duke have a training facility? Why is he doing that here?

I don't want to get involved with a troublesome person so I quietly move somewhere else and pull out the hair that was sticking out of the bushes.

It won't come out. I think my hair was tangled in the branches.

The history of life. That's right in the novel, the keyword 'meeting by chance' also applies to villains...

I can't help it.

"Excuse me... excuse me..."

The man stopped at my shaky voice and looked around. But, as if he hadn't found me yet, he looked up and swung his sword again.

When I was very young, played games without my parents knowing.

A game that was very popular at the time, which made kids my age in the classroom bored.

In the game that started with a breathtaking and nervous mind, I went to a place with a strong monster without knowing the subject.

Then I just died in a little stroke of a monster.

I stared blankly at the filming of Stan 0 in one shot, but all my emotions and interests for the game cooled down, so quietly turned off the power.

I felt just like that now. The feeling that everything has cooled down.

Walking up the stairs of the bell tower was light.

There is a theory that when a person dies, he or she will climb the stairs leading to heaven. How would people feel when they climb those stairs?

I think I'm okay now. I've climbed like this in my previous life so I am used to it.

At last there was a large bell at the top of the bell tower. If I ring the bell here, will everyone run out of surprise?

That's funny.

But imagination is only imagination.

Sorry, Selina. I think your wish will not come true.

I honestly don't have the confidence to make people mourn at my funeral. I can't close my eyes while the others are crying.

Did I see it before? How sweet is rejection, it seems to

have been slightly cut. Aiko.

Well, living a long life will change things. I've struggled once in my previous life and nothing has changed.

But, Selina. You basically want your death not to be miserable? Right?

So I'll do the best I can. To make your death not miserable. At least to avoid the ending of dying while suffering from illness alone.

After speaking a long word in my heart, I took one step by step.

Passing a bell larger than my body, I walked all the way to the end of the railing where I could see the grass underneath.

I even close my eyes after taking my hands off that trembling wall.

The sun was warm, and the wind was cool.

I am now wearing a gorgeous dress, and still some people care and love Selina as a family and a princess of this family.

Then, when everyone doesn't leave, when they can shed tears at least as a family for Selina....

This is good enough. Great. Much better than me.....,
