Anecdote_ "That story from the past"
6 months ago
리 여 주 • 공녀
father..!
리 강 흔 • 공작
Good morning.
리 여 주 • 공녀
Is it true that you participated in the war?
리 강 흔 • 공작
Looks like it's already reached your ears. Let's go in and talk.
A few days ago, early in the morning, a letter from the imperial family arrived at the duke's residence. The duke, the sword of the empire and husband of the Grow Empire's only princess, was ordered by the imperial court to participate in the war that broke out in the border region.
After hearing the news, the princess and the duke's eldest daughter, the princess, came to see the duke. Disobeying morning etiquette, the princess asked about the news first, but the duke, without saying a word, invited her into his study.
리 여 주 • 공녀
I heard it's not at war level, but rather a conflict.
리 여 주 • 공녀
It's a war that my father doesn't necessarily need to participate in.
리 강 흔 • 공작
I don't think so either, but it's something my brother instructed me to do.
리 여 주 • 공녀
Are you saying that it is an imperial edict?
리 강 흔 • 공작
okay.
리 여 주 • 공녀
So you're saying that rejection is impossible.
리 강 흔 • 공작
Don't worry too much. It would be dishonorable for me, the Sword of the Empire, to avoid such a small war.
리 여 주 • 공녀
If that's the case, I'll go too.
리 강 흔 • 공작
It seems like you came here with this in mind from the beginning.
리 여 주 • 공녀
you're right.
리 강 흔 • 공작
I will allow it.
리 여 주 • 공녀
Father, I will protect you.
리 강 흔 • 공작
This father just wants his daughter to not get hurt.
The Duke did not stop his daughter from participating in the war, and this was possible thanks to the trust and faith that had been built up over a long period of time.
The Duke was a father who thought of his daughter's safety and well-being more than anyone else, and the Princess was also a daughter who thought of her father's safety and well-being.
리 여 주 • 공녀
I'll go out and try.
리 강 흔 • 공작
Thank you, my lady.
리 여 주 • 공녀
Of course. I am my father's daughter.
리 강 흔 • 공작
Yeah, go ahead and try.
리 여 주 • 공녀
... good morning.
강 시 진 • 부인
I stopped by because I heard there was a commotion since morning.
리 여 주 • 공녀
It's nothing special.
강 시 진 • 부인
Tsk, - Why are you making such a fuss in the house over nothing!?
리 여 주 • 공녀
Have you heard that your father is going to war?
강 시 진 • 부인
Of course I heard it.
리 여 주 • 공녀
You look very calm.
강 시 진 • 부인
Working for the Empire, isn't it an honorable thing to go out there and die?
리 여 주 • 공녀
...I'll be going now.
The princess felt it was not worth talking to him when he reacted like that to something that was on the line with her father's life, so she left the place.
For the princess, her father was someone she could rely on, but her mother was someone she wouldn't even call on except for official occasions. The same was true for the duchess.
리 은 후 • 공자
I'm meeting you, sister.
리 여 주 • 공녀
okay.
리 은 후 • 공자
Good morning, Mom.
강 시 진 • 부인
Yes, good morning.
리 은 후 • 공자
I heard the news that my father was going to war.
Lee Eun-hu, the son of the Duke and Princess, is two years younger than the Princess. The Duchess grew up receiving the utmost love that the Princess did not.
Perhaps because of the Duchess's discrimination, the Duke paid attention to the princess and was proud of the princess who always responded to his attention, so the Duke was a blunt father to the prince.
"Your Majesty, the Countess has arrived."
리 여 주 • 공녀
Let's go.
That evening
리 여 주 • 공녀
Thank you
서 주 신 • 시녀
Yes, your majesty!
리 여 주 • 공녀
Bring the ink and the paper that my father gave me earlier to my room.
서 주 신 • 시녀
Are you going to write a letter to Count Youngsik?
리 여 주 • 공녀
Yeah and I'll send it to Jungkook too.
서 주 신 • 시녀
Why can't I just get help from you two?
리 여 주 • 공녀
Jimin decided to go together.
서 주 신 • 시녀
What about the Marquis's style?
리 여 주 • 공녀
There is no way His Majesty the Emperor would let the shadow of the imperial family go to war like this.
리 여 주 • 공녀
Jungkook will be forced to do it.
서 주 신 • 시녀
Still, I feel relieved that Count Youngsik will go on an expedition with the Princess.
리 여 주 • 공녀
Sigh-) You don't trust me?
서 주 신 • 시녀
I believe! I believe! Don't you remember the last war, Princess? Thinking about how you collapsed in the vanguard and were carried by Marquis Youngsik still makes my heart sink.
서 주 신 • 시녀
And also,-
리 여 주 • 공녀
Okay, stop it. The only people who can nag me like this are you and your father.
서 주 신 • 시녀
I trust you too much, so when will you stop worrying about me?
서 주 신 • 시녀
Everyone knows that the Princess is strong. But sometimes I worry about that strength.
리 여 주 • 공녀
Okay, I'll take note of that.
서 주 신 • 시녀
I'll prepare it in your room, so go wash up and come.
So 3 days before departure
서 주 신 • 시녀
Your Majesty, the Prince will be arriving soon!
리 여 주 • 공녀
Okay, prepare some snacks that Ravin likes.

민 래 빈 • 공자
Yeoju, is it true that you are participating in the war?
리 여 주 • 공녀
Yeah, that's true.
민 래 빈 • 공자
It was true. Why didn't you tell me?
리 여 주 • 공녀
I didn't say anything because I was afraid you would object.
민 래 빈 • 공자
Of course I'm against it, it could put you in danger.
리 여 주 • 공녀
So I didn't say anything.
민 래 빈 • 공자
My love, I don't want you to be in danger.
리 여 주 • 공녀
I won't do anything dangerous. Just hug me today.
민 래 빈 • 공자
You know me too well.
리 여 주 • 공녀
This war might give me the title of Crown Princess.
민 래 빈 • 공자
So, that means the day you become my wife is not far off.
리 여 주 • 공녀
I promise you won't get hurt.
민 래 빈 • 공자
You must keep that promise.
리 여 주 • 공녀
Have I ever broken a promise?
민 래 빈 • 공자
I didn't know.
리 여 주 • 공녀
love you.
민 래 빈 • 공자
Me too. Take care on your way.
The day of departure
"Take care and don't get hurt."
리 여 주 • 공녀
I'll be back.
서 주 신 • 시녀
Princess, take care!
리 여 주 • 공녀
Yeah, you too.
In that war, the Grow Empire won a great victory.
But the person who led the victory was not the duke, but the princess.
The princess did not win the war.
The Duke was attacked by assassins hiding in his tent during the war and died on the spot.
And that night, the princess led the imperial army to attack the enemy camp, and the empire gained great profits.
The princess was given the title of Crown Princess for her merits and became the next emperor.
Originally, this position should have been given to one of the Emperor's children, but the Emperor was unable to see his children, and one of the children of the Emperor's younger sister, the Princess, gained the right to succeed as the next Emperor.
The princess who has achieved far more merit than the prince will be given the right to succeed to the throne.
After the war
서 주 신 • 시녀
Gong-n, no... Your Majesty...
리 여 주 • 공녀
He told me not to let anyone in.
서 주 신 • 시녀
Please eat something..!! I'm afraid that if this continues, something bad will happen to you, Princess....
리 여 주 • 공녀
It's my mistake.
서 주 신 • 시녀
No, Your Majesty, you did well enough...
리 여 주 • 공녀
No, I... I couldn't even protect my father.
서 주 신 • 시녀
The number of Imperial troops led by the Princess and the number of troops from our Duke's residence combined exceeds 8,000. The Princess saved the lives of so many...
•••
민 래 빈 • 공자
Lady...
리 여 주 • 공녀
Here you go.
민 래 빈 • 공자
What are you doing? You haven't eaten anything. Why are you working?
리 여 주 • 공녀
Can I fill my father's empty spot?
민 래 빈 • 공자
Hey, heroine... In times like this...
리 여 주 • 공녀
Cry? Rest? What difference does that make?
리 여 주 • 공녀
Will my father ever come back alive?
민 래 빈 • 공자
I'll come back when you calm down...
리 여 주 • 공녀
I'll be busy for a while. Don't come.
민 래 빈 • 공자
Take a rest.
•••
서 주 신 • 시녀
The Marquis Youngsik has arrived.
리 여 주 • 공녀
Tell them to come in.
서 주 신 • 시녀
'Are you alright, Your Majesty?'
서 주 신 • 시녀
yes.
As time passed, the day of the emperor's coronation came.
리 여 주 • 공녀
Today has finally come.
민 래 빈 • 공자
Yeoju, you're out.
리 여 주 • 공녀
Let's go now.
민 래 빈 • 공자
okay.
The princess stands before the banquet hall door, briefly reflecting on the past. So much has happened. But she has no doubts about her abilities. With that, she opens the door and steps outside.
At that moment, I heard,-
"Your Majesty the Emperor and Empress of the Grow Empire, please!!!"
리 여 주 • 공녀
empress..?
민 래 빈 • 공자
I'm glad everyone is here.
민 래 빈 • 공자
It is thanks to you that I am able to be here.
민 래 빈 • 공자
Thanks to you all, the coronation ceremony was able to be completed safely.
민 래 빈 • 공자
Enjoy the last banquet mood!
리 여 주 • 공녀
Coronation ceremony? What does this all mean?
민 래 빈 • 공자
I told you, you're going to be my wife.
"Your Majesty, look here,-"
리 여 주 • 공녀
Who is the empress!?
리 여 주 • 공녀
I am the emperor acknowledged by His Majesty the Emperor.
민 래 빈 • 공자
Hey, heroine, be serious. I'll explain.
리 여 주 • 공녀
'This was all your scheme.'
리 여 주 • 공녀
Get out of the way.
I need to get my seat straight.
However, all the nobles had already acknowledged that Confucius had become the emperor, and the coronation ceremony had also ended.
The only path the princess could choose was to become an empress.
As time passed and it was about time for the emperor to accept the position of empress, he brought in an empress.
The Emperor gave the Empress the Empress's palace, and the Princess was banished to the palace used by the concubines. However, the Princess, who maintained her composure even in such a situation, one day murdered the Empress.
The princess is executed for the crime of attempting to murder the empress and for attempting to harm the emperor's child, the grandson of the empress.
The princess was executed and the sound of the clock turning backwards was heard.

Yes, hello, our Philos!♡
아가페
I'm a little late, but please forgive me since it's 3520 characters.
아가페
As I was trying to include all of the heroine's past lives... I ended up losing about 2000 characters in the middle~!
아가페
It will be a bit different from the common romance novels you know, such as reincarnation, regression, and possession!
아가페
I worked hard to prepare this piece, so I would be grateful if you would show me a lot of interest!
아가페
There are no similar works. If there are similar settings in other genres, not just the story, we will mercilessly cut them out as plagiarism.
아가페
For the theft, I will receive a separate 5,000-character apology and reflection letter, and I will paste the apology letter without any editing.

Thank you so so so much for reading!♡
