185. Bad Ending, and After

‘Here is… … .’

When I came to my senses again, I was in an execution ground.

As Ian had instructed, I was back in my 7th life.

My neck was already on the guillotine.

The cold tension and suffocating air of the execution grounds squeezed me.

“No, your majesty―!”

“No, no, that can’t be happening… … .”

A piercing scream echoed through the execution grounds.

Some people sobbed sadly, some were shocked, and some were still in a state of bewilderment as if they could not accept reality.

Perwin, who was sitting in the highest seat, was also looking at me with shocked eyes.

A new sneer escaped his dry lips.

Why do you have such a face?

I hoped for this ending more than anyone else.

Drrrrrr.

The guillotine’s blade rose high into the ceiling.

I closed both my eyes.

Taang―!

A dull metallic clank echoed through the execution grounds.

“… … .”

A terrible shock spread through my body and then dissipated into the air.

It was the moment when the corpse that had vomited crimson blood began to cool down.

Ppeong!

【SYSTEM: ‘Bad Ending 1. Villain’s Words’ Achievement Completed!】

[The original scenario ends!]

[All character actions are removed!]

Then a system window appeared in front of me.

‘Removal of action restrictions.’

His limp body couldn’t move a finger, but his soul was free.

I immediately opened the items window.

[‘Give me one more chance (one time)’

: Using this item will immediately turn back time and return you to the branch point.]

[☞Using Items☜]

There was a change as the suitability of the female protagonist was maximized.

One was that the branch point function was activated, and the other was that the usage conditions for some items were relaxed.

was originally an item that reverted to 1 minute ago, but it seems to have been upgraded along with the branching point being unlocked.

[At what point would you like to regress?]

The important turning points I have experienced in this life unfolded before my eyes.

‘It’s a shame it’s disposable.’

Unlike the 8th life where regression was a basic ability, in this life, you could only regression once by borrowing the power of an item.

The first day of the return, the Crown Prince’s visit to the hospital, the birthday party, the first meeting with Cayenne, the love potion incident, the visit to Baron Garrett’s estate, the hunting festival, the kidnapping of Cayenne, the founding of the country…

And up to the ending today.

After all that, I finally ended up here.

It was over now.

My decision, my last.

【SYSTEM: You have chosen ‘Bad Ending 1. The Villain’s Words’.】

[Return to that point!]

* * *

“… … The Duke of Serteia will be exterminated for inciting treason. Serteia’s name will be erased from history forever.”

The emperor glanced at Roselia.

Eyes that were gripped by fear and madness had already lost their sense of reason.

“Prisoner, Roselia Serteia.”

A stern voice was aimed at Roselia.

The stands were empty. The only actor was her.

The only witnesses to her end were the sinners waiting in line.

“Sinner, come forward.”

“… … .”

Roselia stepped forward boldly.

It was a death that had already been repeated countless times.

No one in the execution grounds was more familiar with this situation than he was.

“Roselia!”

“―!”

At that moment, the execution room door burst open and Prince Louis barged in.

The knights of Pyron poured in and made a path for him.

Prince Louis, standing in front of the guillotine, took her hand.

“Roselia, come with me.”

Ppeong!

【SYSTEM: Mission! ‘Declare War’】

[Avoid the execution ending!

Escape the execution grounds with Prince Louis.♥]

[Reward upon success: ???

Penalty on failure: Regress after death]

“no.”

Roselia, who was looking back and forth between the mission window and Prince Louis, shook her head.

The ending will not be a one-sided sacrifice by the manager.

[It’s now.]

Roselia whispered to someone.

Then, a vibration that shook the heavens and the earth spread throughout the execution grounds.

“What, what is this?”

“Your Majesty the Emperor, you must evade!”

The imperial guards, sensing something unusual, surrounded the Emperor and Perwin.

That was the moment.

Bam!

The ceiling collapsed with a loud noise that sounded like the heavens and the earth were being opened.

“Roselia!”

Prince Louis threw himself and embraced Roselia.

Ashen smoke rose from the remains of the collapsed ceiling.

A black shadow appeared in the acrid smoke.

The man who approached Roselia knelt on one knee.

A halo of light shimmered across his pale blond hair.

“Hello, master.”

“Cayenne!”

His blood-red eyes swung sinisterly.

[Hidden Ending 000. The New Lord of the Throne]

[The ‘Declaration of War’ scenario is replaced with the ‘Treason’ scenario!]

Perwin’s pupils dilated.

“That guy… … !”

“Roselia, what the hell is this―”

Roselia raised the corners of her mouth as she looked at the flustered Prince Louis.

“I told you, don’t make sacrifices unilaterally.”

“―!”

“You always come first for me too.”

“Execute the traitor immediately!”

Then Perwin shouted.

The moment the imperial guards hurriedly drew their swords, the emperor suddenly stood up from his seat.

“My son, my son! You are alive!”

“Your Majesty the Emperor!”

He shook off the guards standing by his side and approached Cayenne like a man possessed by a ghost.

“Oh, thank goodness, I’m so glad… … .”

The emperor spread his arms.

Chook―

At that moment, Cayenne’s sword took on a red liquid that sprayed into the air.

Crimson blood spurted everywhere. The Emperor’s head rolled to the floor without a single scream.

Cayenne wiped the blood from his face.

“Oh, Father!”

Perwin, who had been frozen, came running out in a hurry.

He embraced the emperor’s body, but his father’s body grew colder in his arms with each passing moment.

“… … .”

Perwin looked up blankly.

“It’s been a while, bro.”

Cayenne, with the sun on her back, was looking down at him.

A strange light appeared in his eyes.

It was a color as red as blood, a color infinitely close to death.

Fear of death.

Perwin’s fingertips trembled like crazy as he faced his primal fear.

“It’s a reverse pattern!”

At that moment, the imperial guards stopped Cayenne.

“Prepare all forces to attack!”

“Requesting military support!”

Overwhelming force surrounded Cayenne.

He was cornered in an instant, but there was not a single trace of hesitation on his face.

That was when.

A vibration that shook the ground echoed nearby.

“… … ?”

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud.

The unidentified vibration gradually changed into a clear sound of footsteps.

“What the heck is this… … .”

“Your Majesty!”

One of the guards, who had confirmed the source of the sound, shouted in thought.

“It’s Serteia’s private soldiers! We brought private soldiers from the Duke’s house!”

[I’m a little late because I brought guests from far away.]

“no way.”

Cayenne’s eyes met with Roselia’s and he raised his lips.

The ducal knights wearing the insignia of Serteia were advancing.

The person who took the lead was someone everyone was familiar with.

“Go, my lord!”

Ikart’s eyes widened.

A killer on the battlefield.

A man who had been calming the battlefield was walking into the execution ground.

“… … It smells bloody.”

Her silver hair, like the cold wind of the North Sea, fluttered in the wind.

“Eek! Three, Duke of Serteia!”

The imperial guards turned pale as if they had encountered a monster.

Shock and despair soon spread like wildfire.

There was no one here who did not know the castle of the Duke of Serteia.

Her golden eyes, unreadable in their expressions, flashed.

“Advance.”

The Northern Demon Territory. It was time for the man who had survived that harsh hell to calm the battlefield.

“Wow!”

Behind him, the Duke’s private soldiers surged in like a cloud.

In an instant, the execution ground became a scene of chaos.

Indeed, the swordsmanship of the one who had pacified the North for many years was beyond human standards.

Additional imperial knights were brought in to suppress the rebels, but Duke Serteia was able to destroy the enemy lines faster than the number of troops could be replenished.

Wherever he passed, corpses piled up like mountains and pools of blood formed.

The knights of the Kingdom of Pyron evacuated the captured people.

Seraphine turned her head away, unable to bear to watch the brutal slaughter any longer.

Roselia couldn’t even open her eyes, but she knew one thing for sure.

The reason why the Duke of Serteia was destroyed but the Duke himself was not called back to the capital.

Because his overwhelming fighting power was unparalleled.

“Oh, this can’t be happening.”

Perwin sat down with a thud, gripped by fear.

The troops escorting him were noticeably dwindling.

Perwin picked up the sword lying on the floor with trembling hands.

“Do you feel like fighting now?”

“―!”

Then a black shadow appeared in front of him.

“You, you… … .”

A bitter smile appeared on Cayenne’s lips.

“But what can I do about this? It’s already over.”

“―!”

Phew.

The sharp sword dug into Perwin’s stomach.

“Coolook, coolook… … !”

He vomited crimson blood. His knees buckled and his upper body collapsed.

He clutched at the boat from which blood was pouring out, but it was not enough to hold on to the life that was slipping away.

He furrowed his brow painfully.

Even as his consciousness faded, he was desperately chasing someone with his two eyes.

At the end of that gaze was Roselia. My fiancée in the arms of Prince Louis.

A hollow laugh came out.

Why didn’t I know?

That he was cowardly like his mother, weak and incompetent like his father.

“… …Your Majesty, Your Majesty Perwin!”

Someone’s scream spread like tinnitus.

Thud, his fingertips fell limply to the floor.
