The Lady of the Counterattack

“You know that we are not brothers sharing even a drop of blood, don’t you?”

Isabel Sardinale, the jewel of the Holy Empire, had offered her strongest holy power and lived half-forcedly for her older brother, the crown prince.

But after facing an enormous truth and being abandoned even by her mother, she took her own life.

Then when she opened her eyes, she had returned to the time before her holy power manifested.

This time, she would not reveal her holy power and would survive for a long time.

She would live quietly as a more perfect princess, and later become free.

But... why is she so angry?

The world she returned to somehow differed from the one she had known in her previous life.

A man caught her eye.

Leonardo Gascard, the grand duke’s illegitimate son and the sword who would one day become the empire’s greatest blade.

Isabel approaches him in order to make him hers...

“Why are you so tense, Sir Gascard, the valiant one?”

“Your Highness, please...”

“Could it be that you like me, or...”

Now his blue eyes were completely wavering.

“...Do you really hate me?”

Wiping away every last trace of blood from her face, Isabel smiled.

The eyes of the fake brother staring at her with his mouth open trembled violently.

“I’m asking you, you foolish Abel Pollon.”

“!”

In front of him, Isabel smiled even more brightly.

“Do you have any objection to me, someone more outstanding and nobler than you, becoming emperor?”
