Episode 1
Prologue
I am the only legitimate heir of Helbart, the notorious tyrant, and Mayuna Kisomallos. In other words, I am the sole princess of this country: Vishnahel Lorowi Kisomallos.
I just underwent the five-horse torture.
Yet here I am, sitting in the death row waiting room.
“……?”
Why?
I was just torn apart by five horses and killed, so why am I here again?
The executioner checked his pocket watch; in three seconds, he would say, “It’s time to go.”

“It’s time to go.”
“Nooo, I’m not going!”
Am I crazy to go there again?! Do you know how much it hurts when five horses grab my arms, legs, and head from every direction?! And they move so slowly it’s terrifyingly horrifying!
I’m not going!
Save me!
“Princess Kisomallos, even though I haven’t come to your memorial rites for years, if you suddenly appear now and save me, I will dedicate my whole life to serving you, I will—I Aaaah!”
Ta-da!
Darkness fell. In the middle of pitch-black void, a golden-haired, dazzlingly handsome Kisomallos appeared with a ta-da.
I was furious. Kisomallos, who had neglected family matters and hadn’t even shown up on Halloween, now seemed no different from my father, who neglects the state affairs.
So, I decided to punch him first.
“Princess Uppercut!”
I delivered the Princess Uppercut, and the handsome Kisomallos slapped the ground twice, signaling surrender. In a fight, tapping the ground twice means surrender.
Being a fair fighter, I decided to let him speak.
[Descendant! Big trouble! Both you and I are in huge trouble!]
A golden sheep, symbol of our country and royal family, said nervously. Its raised eyes gave it a fierce, sharp red-eyed look, yet somehow it looked kind of silly.
“The trouble started when my father ascended the throne.”
[No! You don’t know! The more a guy becomes a human trash by running wild, the more my divine power shines!]
Wait, what? The more someone becomes garbage, the brighter Kisomallos’ divine power shines?
Then I completely wasted my life! I studied hard and lived very diligently!
[More importantly, disaster! While I was trapped, the last legitimate heir was subjected to the five-horse torture!]
“Kisomallos, you were trapped? Why?”
[I don’t know! That’s not important right now!]
“What could be more important than finding out why Kisomallos was trapped, compared to me, the last heir, being torn apart?!”
I shouted in fury, and the handsome golden-haired figure, shining brilliantly, hurriedly replied.
Somewhere, the ticking of a clock could be heard.
[I’ve put out the urgent fire, but the deity I asked demanded a steep price! You’ll have to deal with the aftermath!]
“Aftermath? What on earth did you do, you half-faced golden-haired delinquent?!”
[Listen carefully! I’ve poured all my divine power into reversing time! But this is only a down payment. If I can’t gather enough divine power to pay the rest, I’ll be forcibly executed for default!]
“What do you mean by that?!”
[Don’t you know the law of conservation of mass, fool? Even if half a bean goes back in time, it’s still just half a bean!]
“The family deity is stupid, so the legitimate heir ends up stupid too!”
I pounded my chest in frustration at this useless family deity. Kisomallos said something even more exasperating.
[That’s true!]
What are you even saying?!
Reversing time? Default? Forced execution?
Is this related to me just getting torn apart and going to face it again?
[Just remember this: restore my divine power! You have 16 years.]
What? Why 16 years of all numbers?!
[Sixteen is youth!]
Honestly, our family deity has no sense of reason. Why handle things like this?
The more I thought about it, the more dizzy I got, and Kisomallos spoke to me in a fading voice:
[Sorry I’m late. Because I intervened halfway, you’ll probably have to go through it one more time.]
“One more time? Go through what?”
Could it be… No way, that can’t be.
I dreaded it, but soon the darkness cleared.
“…….”
And I was transported to the execution site.
The horses moaned, “Moo, moo.”
