One day when I was working as a low-ranking civil servant in a hopeless imperial palace department, I realized that I had reincarnated in a novel.... more>>

“Oh my god, the villain is about to start a war, right? If a war breaks out, people like me will be the first to die!”

An imminent war as per the original setting.

If I want to live, I must first save the crown prince!

To save the crown prince who dies first in the original story, I leaked the original’s information to catch the villains.

Suddenly, I became the youngest minister.

I didn’t really mean to get ahead, but there’s nothing wrong with that!

Let’s just catch the villain.

* * *

It’s a lot of fun to ab*se the villains, and the taste of power is also very sweet.

However…

“His Highness the Crown Prince has a great sense of responsibility, but since he has nowhere to focus, he may want to run away sometimes.”

The strange new intern is talking nonsense.

No, how did I save the prince!

“What? Run awaaaay?”

With a glint in my eyes, I said grimly.

“If His Highness runs away… I will personally chase him to the end of the continent. I will somehow drag him by the collar, stick tight next to him, and keep an eye on him.”

Hmm?

But intern, why are you shaking? Why are your ears red? <<less

I broke off my friendship with my childhood friend due to my fiancé's manipulations.... more>>

Eight years later, in a moment where I nearly lost my life, trapped by the fiancé's schemes—

"Run, Your Highness!"

"...Kayan?"

The one I had cut off so suddenly had returned.

"Don't cry. You'll look really ugly if you do."

With a farewell in the familiar tone of our childhood, he died in my place. As I watched him die, I made a vow.

'I will never live like this again.'

***

So, I turned back time. The problem? I returned to a year after I had already broken off my friendship with Kayan!

Still, I couldn't let the tragedy of my past life repeat itself. This time, I was determined to live fearlessly.

First, I gave my bullying half-sibling a taste of rough revenge.

"Aaaaagh! Did you just stab me with a sword?!"

"Oh my, look at that! You're not dead yet, huh?"

Then, I sent a rough letter to my brother, who was off at war, requesting a break-up with my fiancé: [Just send me the breakup letter without any excuses. If not, I'll kill everyone and lock myself up in prison.]

And most importantly... I had to clear up the misunderstanding with Kayan!

"I want to be your best friend again, like we were before."

"Yes, I appreciate Your Highness's kindness."

"I'll work hard to regain the trust I lost."

"Yes, I appreciate Your Highness's efforts."

Kayan, wounded and guarded, was not going to be easy to win back... 'I've even come back through time—there's no way I can't break down this wall!'

Just wait. I will definitely become your friend again! <<less
