Hello, after the blank space disappears I haven't taken up writing fiction for a very long time.

I admit that there were many things that made me stop writing. (Actually, I turned to writing Gunpla fic. It's more on the Facebook page, haha.)

Suddenly I started to feel satiated. It's like I shouldn't be able to do much good in this way.

But every now and then, I want to try writing a "short story" that ends in one chapter. Adapted from a fic

Angel X Devil

that had been written long ago (And secretly borrowing characters to insert a little bit as well, but it's considered a different story and not related)

and wanted to write a book that had a story about Queen Marie. Antoinette is still a character. But because what I wrote in the past was a bit too niche. It may be difficult to access, I apologize.

This is the first time that I will write without focusing too much on action. (even though the tag is action) but focuses more on taking historical characters and writing new stories that fit with modern themes.

P.S. If you read this short story and feel that something conflicts with what you are familiar with. Please continue reading until the end. Because it is right that you will feel strange. Then you will know why.

P.S. 2 Apologies about the language. Because I have been free from writing for a long time, if it seems strange, I can criticize it. Because I've always written in the third person. This is the first story written in the first person perspective of two characters.

Something strange happened that night while I had just taken a shower and was reading a book before going to bed.

I thought I saw someone peeking outside the window. Startled, I quickly called the butler to help me look. But he said he didn't find any traces.

None of the night watchmen saw anything unusual. Toto, his pet spaniel, didn't make a sound. The butler then concluded that I was just blind.

At that moment, I felt like I saw the shadow of a woman with long hair, but as I thought about it, who could be peeking out from the third floor window of a mansion that was difficult to climb without anyone seeing other than… Bruh… Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. I just tried to pray. while asking that it was just my own thoughts Until I almost couldn't sleep all night.

“Miss, if you don't hurry, you'll be late.”

“Please wait just a moment.”

I'm sorry about last night. That made me wake up later than usual, see?

Um, hello. I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself at first. My name is Marisa Anantasakul, or my nickname as my friends call me is Mali. My favorite food is sweets. Especially French bread In fact, I am just an ordinary girl. Even at home, I might be considered to be of sufficient status. As for Takie, it's my butler who always takes care of me.

Because Mom and Dad often have to work abroad and rarely come back.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I am half-breed. My father is Thai and my mother is Austrian.

“Go first, Toto.” After feeding the beloved dog, It's time for me to hurry to school.

How to go to school There isn't much. Just have the family driver take you there. I accept that The school I study at “St. Antoinette Girls' School” is a newly opened school with a history of only a few decades ago. But it can be called a school for young children. But apart from the tuition fees We are normal girls that can be seen everywhere.

After standing up and saluting the national flag. My friends and I gathered together and talked about general miscellaneous things like women talk about. Whether it's about food About the specs of young men who want to be their boyfriends Or the story of this game has a handsome Hasbando inviting him to pay, whatever it is.

Until the bell rings for class. It sounded for us to hurry back to our seats. And what follows are the homeroom teachers, many of whom are young teachers with good-looking glasses that meet the specs.

But before the homeroom class begins The teacher introduced the new students who would be studying in the same class as us.

That time wasn't just me. But everyone's eyes were fixed on the girl who had just walked into the room. She had a figure that was taller than other female students her age. His hair was long and flowing like black silk. Regarding her face, although she looks like a girl wearing square-rimmed glasses, like a shy schoolgirl, she still has the demeanor of a lady.

“Hello, my name is Narisara Kruekaew, nickname Faye. Nice to meet you all. Please take care of me.”

Only when you smile Everyone saw that she looked very friendly. Even my heart melted with him. Even though I'm actually wearing glasses, this is what they call it. “After wearing it, it grows longer than the average person.” What is it like?

“Ah, let's say Narissara. You go sit next to Marisa. There's quite a lot of space there.”

“Thank you.” She bowed to the teacher. Then he came in and sat as specified.

“Hello, my name is Marisana. You can call me Mali. And this person is Chanakarn. Nickname…”

We introduced ourselves to Faye from the first time we met. And she smiled a little shyly, but it made her look even cuter. The real style of the girl with glasses looks like it jumped straight out of a cartoon.

In just the first day, Faye showed us her talent. By solving extremely difficult math problems. Ajarn Somsri easily It might not be surprising if you look at the image of a girl with glasses and a scholar. But it also satisfied the students who had been oppressed by Mrs. Showaom for a long time.

At lunchtime, I invited Faye to eat with the same group of friends. She is very hospitable. Talk to us in a friendly way. especially to me until it felt strangely familiar It's like we've known each other a long time ago, even though it's unlikely.

Later in the afternoon, there was a PE class, which I really disliked but had to pass. Even though I think this subject is not very suitable for girls, especially at this school where most of the students are young ladies.

But our thinking must change. Seeing what Faye showed us

It's called immediately ripping off the image of girls with glasses in cartoons or novels. Because that girl (with her glasses tied around her ears) was able to display excellent physical ability, being strong and young, like a professional athlete. Until the cruel teacher even praised her and the whole class of girls tried to recruit her to join that club.

After that class, we couldn't help but ask Faye what sports she had played before. Even though she only answered, "Many things."

Later, the last lesson before school ended. It's my favorite subject. is history subject Although many students like to act bored in this subject. But I think the teachers are fun. And after watching, Faye seemed to like it just as much. I saw her smile that little and smile that big.

The things that the teacher taught today It is the story of one of the world's most famous queens, Marie Antoinette, who was different from the common people of that era. She was the one who tried to change the values ​​of the upper class to care about the people during a time of crisis where there was not even bread to eat. But then he was slandered politically.

Fortunately, her loyal subjects helped her and her family escape. In the end, her son returned to save the nation from the tyrants. become a hero And she was also made a saint by the Church.

I have also heard this story since I was a child through cartoons and novels, and I really like this queen.

When school ended, I said goodbye to my friends, including Faye, and got in the car to go home.

Without knowing what would happen next.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I admit that besides those voices I couldn't think of anything else and I felt like I lost consciousness immediately after that. When I realized it again, I was shocked.

What happened here!? Why was I caught lying here? So where is this place?

I was so frightened that I couldn't do anything. When I tried to move my neck to examine myself I found myself being held captive and having my hands tied to the common man behind my back. Tied to some kind of machine. Even though it was uncomfortable to lift my head up But the bottom tray And people who dress strangely like ancient people from the French Revolution era. Don't tell me that...

This machine was the "guillotine" that was used to brutally execute political prisoners at that time!?

So what does this mean? Why do I have to be here?

But when I try to turn left or right to see things more broadly, the "them" that surround me almost makes me lose consciousness right here and now.

What are they? It looks like a person, but it's definitely not a person. It's like a ghost. What kind of rituals are more like that? Even though I don't understand their language, But it was as if they were screaming curses at me to kill me.

Where are your parents? Please help me. Saint Antoinette From now on I will be a good child. Please help me.

I tried to pray in my heart because I was so afraid that I couldn't make a sound. Without thinking about it, I can't even tell you what bad thing I did to cause me to be like this.

When they made a noise that sounded like they were giving orders, I could only close my eyes. I can't imagine what else to do. It was like the angel of death raised his scythe and was ready to take his own life in the blink of an eye.

If this is a dream I'd like you to wake up quickly.

But the sound of the blade falling Instead, it was interrupted by an unknown sound. Similar to the sound of metal crashing

Suddenly, the sounds I heard from those ghosts sounded like they were screaming in fright. When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw that someone had arrived in front of me. In the distance you can barely breathe.

That woman which she thought she had seen and was familiar with recently

Faye!?

What is this all about? Why is Faye here!?

The woman who looked exactly like Faye slowly turned her head and took off her glasses, revealing a face that was much more beautiful than expected. But it was an expression that looked cold and sharp, different from what was seen during the day. It was a different matter.

But at the same time That solemn face The pair of beautiful black eyes looked strangely sad.

She glared at me. It gave me goosebumps because I didn't understand what was going on. Suddenly, I thought I saw her eyes suddenly glow with a dark purple light.

“Ah! Faye, be careful!”

I saw a monk dressed like an executioner about to take a sword and slash Fae from behind. But even though she didn't even notice it, Something in his left hand fired with a loud pop. It pierced its head and fell backwards.

When I started to notice, it was a gun! Plus it's a pistol with a blade attached. But how could Faye have something like this with her?

“Don't worry. This is just a nightmare.”

Fay's voice was still audible as Fay's. But it gives a feeling of coldness to the core of the heart. Her right hand lifted my cheek and raised me to look at those glowing purple eyes.

“She'll wake up soon. Forget everything you see.”

End of those words I couldn't explain what was happening to me. In addition to his consciousness slowly fading away again in an instant.

I'm awake again. The first picture I saw It's a white ceiling with bright bulbs, like in a hospital.

“Oh, are you awake, miss?”

The first person to catch my attention was the butler. The expression on his face was very startled.

“I'm glad you're safe. I really have to thank my friend.”

Hey, is that a friend? Then I realized that someone besides the butler was nearby and holding my hand.

Faye!? She fell asleep next to my bed while still in her school uniform. Plus, the glasses weren't even taken off.

“Your friend said he saw your car in an accident. So I immediately informed the rescue team to come help you. As for the phone number, I saw that I asked from the school to contact the mansion. When I found out about the matter, I hurriedly came to see him. It's a shame the driver didn't survive. As for the young lady, she was unconscious. I'm devastated. I don't know what to tell your parents if something happens to you.”

“D…so?”

I listened to the butler's explanation. That's enough to understand the whole thing. What he saw was really just a nightmare, even though it felt a little too real.

Just in time, Faye herself woke up. When I saw that I was awake. He rushed over and gave me a big hug.

It's strange, even though we've only known each other for one day. But I don't feel disgusted by Faye for doing this. On the contrary, I feel indebted to Faye even though there are some things that are a little unresolved.

Luckily, my only injury was a minor knee scrape. After a few days I was able to return to school as usual. The butler brought another car to replace the poor old driver.

Faye was the first person to stand at the door to welcome me. And we walked and talked until we reached the classroom.

"By the way, I'm sorry, Faye."

Whether it was because of doubts during the break until I couldn't stand it or whatever, I don't know. So I couldn't resist taking off Faye's glasses. To see her full face

It really looked like a dream, but it was probably just a coincidence. His face when he puts it on and when he takes it off isn't much different.

“Faye, I think you look better with your glasses off like this.”

“Eh? Not at all.”

"Well, what can I say? It looks cooler, I don't know."

"Oh, Jasmine, I don't know what to say." Then she snatched the glasses back and put them back on.

Then we chatted and laughed all the way to the classroom.

memory…

The final, shameful days...

Not just the body But even the feeling of my soul being torn apart

But all those things It was nothing compared to what my dear friend had to go through.

Why is it that only I have been reborn? But that person People with higher prestige And such a beautiful heart In addition to not receiving Still have to be branded for hundreds of years.

Why… why… like this isn't fair. Lord Why were you so cruel to her?

If you don't have bread, just eat cake? Your father's house cake! That person has never And there will never be a day when such a sentence will be spoken. If it were me in that life, I would still say the same thing.

That's all about this. No matter what, I can't accept it.

When remembering one's life For whatever reason, I don't know, but whatever. That only made me curse. Curse this world Curse the God who tricks us into worshiping and praising us. But he abandoned all fairness when the time came.

Until I met that person.

That hand that reached down Even though it's a disgusting looking hand But his touch was surprisingly warm. It gives hope and the opportunity to make women like me Had a chance to stand up and fight with him.

Until... the day we succeeded. Even if you have to sacrifice a lot of ideological alignment. Even that person had to sacrifice himself. So that I can pull the final shot. Finally slay the God who betrayed us.

and with everything that I have entrusted to him and those allies I won't let it go to waste.

People of the present world Those of you who are obsessed with creating rumors and slandering those who have greater prestige. Refuse to defend in every case to avoid guilt. and continue to commit evil acts against women like us. From now on, you and all the malicious rumors that surround my dear friends. There won't be any more. You guys have to pay the price.

With something bigger than life!

If you really want bread Even a grain of rice, a drop of water, none of you hope to touch it again.

On the contrary, Her Majesty, that person is different. that must be given new life and the happiness that she should receive To ridicule you all forever.

Finally, I succeeded.

A new world, a world where there will never be a false accusation. But everyone will love and praise her. Whether in a previous life or this life She will be happy. and will not be bullied or slandered in any way again as long as this world is still in my hands.

With the power snatched from the corpse of the god And the hopes of that man and those in his alliance that were sacrificed in order for me to be here. Even if this is selling your soul to the devil. But if it could free your soul from the bondage of that crazy “fate” then

I have been waiting since the day you were born to open your eyes to the world. And I've been waiting all this time, far away, and today it might be time. that I will come back to meet you And we'll be friends again.

But… even though I've gotten to this point There are still some troublemakers who come and wait.

Indeed, the power in this hand I can cause many people to have their memories altered. To be able to act as an actor in this world until she returns to life. But there are still those who are stuck and refuse to change their minds. They had instilled hatred towards her at the hands of those evil revolutionaries.

Untrue slanderous rumors which no matter how many defenses were put forward by later historians They easily brushed it off with the stupid idea of ​​an inferior scumbag. In order not to admit that they had killed a good woman and forever slandered her as a devil in their history.

Since the previous god did not punish and still protected the latter. Therefore, I am the one who will force them to suffer punishment. By destroying life and cursed to be a wandering monk Didn't spring up, didn't happen and will be hungry all the time But even a tiny fraction of rice or water would never be touched by the tip of that filthy tongue.

Yet they refused to stop. They still harbored ill intentions towards the Queen whom they blamed. in hopes of returning this world to the way it was before A filthy, vile world that stood by forever condemning one woman as its scapegoat.

But I won't let them get their wish!

That night, they knew who the Queen was. And where is it? Therefore they intend to be malicious. But I was able to go after them before they could do anything and then stopped by to take a peek.

I really apologize to you. I didn't mean to frighten you at all.

Anyway, so I took this opportunity. Use your power as the god of this new world. Change people's memories a little. To see that I am a new student who just moved here.

and make me meet you again

As truly worthy of Her Majesty, she was born in the body of a half-Thai-Austrian girl. Cheeks are white and pink, looking sweet. His blue-gray eyes looked as beautiful as diamonds. My hair is light brown, like the original color in my past life when I didn't put powder on it. Gathered into a ponytail at the back. Even though it is not even a fraction of the fashion like in the past. But for a young half-breed who has status in this era, it is still considered good enough.

Although this meeting was not between Marie Antoinette and the Princess of Lombard, As in the past But it is the meeting of two young girls in the children's school, whose names are Mali and Faye.

Even though you cannot remember your past life right now But that didn't matter. Just meeting this time My heart rejoiced even more than I had become God.

Solving problems in class is not a problem at all. Because that kind of thing really isn't important to me anymore, so I'm going to do it anyway. Because it's easy for me now.

And thanks to that man's power and knowledge. Leader of Her Majesty's Liberation has been left within me This makes my current physical abilities far superior to that of ordinary people. Kae just ran around the field. Or jump over obstacles just like this It's not even half of what I always need for real combat.

I feel happy that she had the opportunity to hear stories about herself in the past (that had been redacted) and liked them Because it is definitely better than misunderstanding and cursing yourself at that time. Even if you don't know yet.

But those evil spirits were still not satisfied. Still finding a way to attack you. And admit that I missed it just a little bit. They cause accidents by possessing your driver.

But I will not allow them to lead you to some disgusting guillotine. And cause you to meet such a sad fate a second time.

So I blocked the blade with my bazooka. Then I killed the executioner who had interrupted even the slightest moment between me and you with a bayonet. However, it wouldn't be wise to let you know my true identity now. Especially during the time of pounding with them.

I must use the power of God. Makes you unconscious, thinking that the whole thing was just a dream.

That time could be a fierce battle. Between me having to protect him who was unconscious. with those evil monks I use all kinds of firearms. Take out that disgusting guillotine blade and throw it at them. Followed by shooting a bazooka to wipe out a wide area.

I am God No matter what kind of weapon you conjure, you will already have it. But I just realized that being able to use the same power and ability as that man in battle. Using modern weapons such as guns of various styles to shoot at them. Like in games or action movies that guys like. It was fun too, hehe.

Because it is a battle in a dimensional space. Therefore, all damage does not directly affect the real world. However, as God I had to distort something to keep it secret from outsiders.

After distorting people's memories and covering up traces So we had to set the scene a bit. It turned out that the driver died in an accident. But the person sitting behind him was only slightly injured. As for me, who easily knows what your home number is. When I said I asked for it from the school, I was just bluffing.

But it was a bit unexpected in that he still remembered that story even though he understood that it was just a dream. And then he came and took off my glasses. So I needed to use the power of God. Distort your thoughts a little. I really need to apologize, otherwise this entire matter would have been ruined.

Now I'm very happy. Even though I'm beside you And I also want to rely on my power as a god. Make everything stay like this forever

“Look, Jasmine, I think we humans Should I be more selfish? Between important people nearby and society at large?” I pretended to ask as I walked to class with her.

“Eh, uh, well… actually, I think they're both important. But in principle The public should come first, right? Otherwise it wouldn't be correct.”

Your answer made my heart feel both joy and sorrow.

One thing that later historians have defended against her is her personal character. Truly one who is passionate about doing what is right. And I feel sorry if I don't do it. Even you right now will probably still be like that.

It would probably be a pleasure. If it weren't for one of the disadvantages of being a god. That is, being able to know the future even if you don't want to know.

I think maybe it would be better if you were a selfish woman like they claim.

Because the future I see is…

It is a picture of you who have realized all the truth. What have I done to the world, to those people, and of course you can't accept what I've done? Plus, those beautiful eyes stared at me as an enemy.

But… that's exactly what you are. And it should always be that way. No matter what anyone says

Even if such a thing will come one day, at least as long as this person exists in your eyes. I who was your dear friend in the past But he never did anything and caused him to be even more misunderstood.

I just want this selfish opinion. There's only one thing...

[The End]
