Not only was I cursed with the ridiculous fate of being reincarnated into someone who had already died, but I also inherited the role of crown prince and ventured into a secret, neutral territory where male members of the five imperial families congregated. The outcome? My childhood acquaintances now viewed me as a male.
"Goodbye, everyone," I whispered, bidding farewell to my friends, fully aware that I would never see them again due to my impending death as the prince.
Although I enjoyed my time with them, our paths would never cross again. I hoped that they would live happy lives.
***
Years later, my childhood companions transformed into brave heroes who had vanquished the fierce dragon, now tracked me down.
"Did you kill my comrade?"
"Rumor has it that the murderer who dethroned the previous crown prince is now living in peace as a princess. Was that you?"
"I will make you suffer until you beg for death."
"Why did you kill him?" they demanded of me.
It wasn't their inability to recognize me that was the issue; the problem was that my childhood friends were now attempting to murder me. Hold on, guys!
