52 – The Princess’ Happy Dream
‘yes…? Where are you?’
The princess, who had been lying in bed until just now.
She couldn’t help but feel something strange.
He must have been lying in bed and just thinking about it, but now he was in a strange place.
She turned her head and looked around, wondering what the situation was right now.
“Princess. My name is Lag, who was newly appointed as a hero this time.”
Lag existed in front of him.
Rag kneels down on one knee and salutes himself.
I don’t know why, but he looked a little younger for some reason.
It was like the first time I saw Rag when the emperor appointed Rag as a warrior.
‘what…?’
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed at first when I saw such a rag.
Until just now, he had been lying in bed, and he did not understand why this had happened.
It felt like I was back in the past…
‘Couldn’t it… have returned to the past?’
And it probably seemed like it.
This situation you are seeing now is a situation you have seen in the past…
So, she had an idea.
What if this is a return to the past?
What if it came back to the day Rag was appointed as a hero?
Those thoughts passed through my mind.
‘Yes, I’m back to the past…!’
Somehow I was sure it would be.
I don’t know why, but I’ve definitely returned to the past.
It was as if he had returned to the day Rag was appointed as a warrior.
“I’m called Lag, who was chosen as the hero this time.”
Just as he was thinking about that, Rag greeted the princess.
A greeting to the princess after being chosen as a hero.
It was a very customary greeting, but Rag didn’t answer, so he looked at himself strangely.
“Princess…!?”
He looked at the princess as if she wanted to say something, and the princess finally came to her senses.
I was so flustered that I panicked a bit as to what to say.
‘Originally, what did I say?’
In that situation, Lesia couldn’t help but think about what she had said in the past.
Lag, who was appointed as a hero and was greeting the princess, the princess pondered what she had said in the past while watching such a rag.
And as a result of thinking, I was able to recall what I said.
‘I can’t accept that a lowly blood like you became a hero.’
It was he who openly gave Rag a face in front of many people.
After saying that, the princess left.
After embarrassing Rag, he was ignored in the imperial palace because of that…
That must have been his past, and it was what he had done.
‘Should I say it differently this time?’
I didn’t mean to say that.
Returning to the past, for some reason, I felt like I shouldn’t have said that.
Feeling like she would regret it for some reason, she decided to say it differently this time.
“It doesn’t matter where you come from. A hero must be a hero…! I’ll believe it.”
Even if it’s not necessarily a friendly word, it’s still a word that believes in Rag once.
It wasn’t very warm, but the princess spat out appropriate words for a hero.
Because I felt like I had to say something like this.
“Thank you. I’ll try my best.”
And when Rag heard that, he smiled brightly.
Originally, I would have been embarrassed and put on an embarrassing expression…
Rag now seemed very satisfied.
“…”
The princess looked at such a rag and recalled the incident at that time, and was trembling.
The space suddenly changed.
‘What… what is it?’
The sudden change of space made the princess quite embarrassed at this moment.
I couldn’t understand why it had changed.
“To be able to only seal the demon king is a disgrace as a hero. Shame…!”
However, I could understand the current situation.
Once again, Rag is in the imperial palace, and Knight Commander Bill is giving such Rag a lot of face-to-face.
The princess remembered this time clearly.
Perhaps this time was right after sealing the Demon King.
‘At this time, I was helping Bill.’
The princess did not look favorably at Rag, saying that he could only seal the demon king, and that he was not of low blood.
Because of this, I sympathized with Bill’s words and gave him a lot of face-to-face again.
I remembered them all over again.
‘…’
I’ll have to settle this first.
Originally, he had pushed himself to the point that he could barely seal Rag.
But I didn’t feel like repeating it like that.
So, this time I decided to take a slightly different approach.
“Why is everyone doing this to Rag? Rag did an excellent job sealing the demon king. He said that sealing the demon king was also great.”
This time, the princess turned to defend Rag.
If you think about it, sealing the demon king alone was a big deal.
And there must have been a reason why it was only sealed.
It was quite wrong to give him such a face-off without even listening to him.
The princess recognized this and stopped the other servants from reprimanding Rag.
When the princess stepped forward like that, the servants couldn’t say anything anymore.
“Everyone, get back.”
After ordering such servants to disperse, the servants left with embarrassed expressions.
And the princess left alone with Rag.
“Princess. Thank you. For taking my side.”
Rag thanked the princess.
Thank you for being the only one on my side.
“No. As the princess, I just did what I had to do.”
The princess said no.
He just did what he had to do, and there was no reason to be thanked for it.
I spat out those words, and a very heartwarming conversation ensued.
‘what…?’
And at that moment.
Again, the space was distorted and changed.
“Kyaaak…!”
This time, the situation was a bit urgent.
He was tied to a rope in the dungeon.
And there was a woman looking down on herself in that situation.
It was his sister, Anastasia.
“Anastasia. You rebel…!”
What the hell is this situation?
There was, of course, only one answer to that.
His sister Anastasia must have rebelled.
And, he must be caught now.
Lesia couldn’t help but frown at Anastasia.

My younger sister, who never acknowledged herself, was not happy about this situation being caught by her.
“No matter how much I think about it, my sister is so lacking. I’m more suited to the throne than my sister.”
Anastasia smiles at Lesia.
She spat out words of disrespect for Lesia as if she were laughing.
As always, he seemed unable to recognize Lecia as the next emperor.
“Ugh…!!”
Lesia was very angry at those words, but there was nothing she could do.
Because there was no one to help me in this situation.
Because if it was like this, it would have been a situation where I couldn’t move.
“Princess. I’m here to save you.”
Just as he was thinking that, there was someone who came to save him.
It was none other than the Rag Warrior.
The Rag hero had come to save him.
“The favor must be repaid.”
A warrior who untied his rope and smiled.
Such a hero confronted Anastasia’s troops while showing a strong back.
Prepared to fight to save Lecia.
The look was so reassuring.
There was only one warrior on his side, but even with that one he was very reassuring.
Enough to face all of Anastasia’s forces in front of her.
“Hmm…”
In that situation, Anastasia continued her thoughts for a while.
And he said with a smile.
“Ehh. Surrender.”
Anastasia’s decision was quick.
She admitted defeat too quickly.
Is it because of her judgment that she cannot win against the hero?
“To attract a hero, Lesia-sister has changed. Now she has become like a princess. In this state, I will never win.”
Or is there some other reason?
I don’t know the reason at all, but one thing is clear: Anastasia looked slightly relieved.
Anastasia, who had been ignoring herself until just now, seemed to acknowledge Lesia at least a little.
“Take care.”
Anastasia quietly withdrew.
Lesia was surprised to see that, but she felt that Anastasia had recognized her.
‘Again… what?’
In such a happy ending, the space changed again.
It’s a very confusing situation now.
I looked around, wondering what the hell was waiting for me.
“Princess. Congratulations. Thanks to you, the empire has developed further.”
This time, the princess stood in front of all the people of the empire, and the hero stood next to her.
Anyone could see the place where the princess was blessed, and the hero started praising the princess.
It was a situation where people applauded.
He was the one who was facing a happier ending than anyone else.
This was the ending he most wanted.
“No… It’s all thanks to the Lag Champion.”
And in that situation, the princess thanked Lag.
Come to think of it, I didn’t do anything.
I just trusted Lag, and Lag did everything.
It just did that.
He did nothing but that.
When I did that, the ending was this.
“…”
and when you figured it out
Finally, the space changed and she noticed it.
“Heh… heh… annoying…”
that it was all a dream.
