I Think It Would Be Better If I Became King

I happened to get my hands on the game I’d wanted so badly.

While enjoying my favorite route, Cedric’s route, I pressed the final choice,

[For daring to impersonate the bloodline of the former king, Queen Astarote shall be sentenced to death!]

“Seriously, what kind of trash game is this? If I made it, I’d do better than this!”

And then I got inside the game.

“Goodbye, Astarote.”

‘Please just die already, Astarote.’

I cleared multiple routes and made my husband into king,

but the ending is always death.

This won’t do. If this keeps up, I’ll just keep dying meaningless deaths.

There’s only one path left for me now!

“Maybe it’s better if I become the king instead.”

[A new route has been unlocked.]

“I’m planning to challenge Your Majesty’s successor test.”

“...Are you proposing to me right now?”

It feels like he’s suddenly speaking informally, but this makes the conversation go faster.

“Yeah. Marry me and be on my side!”

“If that is your wish, then obeying it is my fate.”

“...Huh?”

Things are going too smoothly.

It’s only strange that Cedric, the papa’s boy, is making such a declaration without permission.

“Fine. Good. I’ll accept your proposal.”

At that moment, the clouds parted and brilliant moonlight shone down on the garden.

What emerged under the bright moonlight was not Cedric, but the little duke of Granada.
