1 [1-1] The road to hell is paved with many things. (2/2)

That hope was easily dashed.

René and his mother were chained and dragged to the place of execution. A mounted knight pulled the chain, first my mother and then René. They were flanked by knights on foot.

It was a snowy day.

But René no longer felt anything when he stepped on the snow with his bloodied bare feet.

In a frenzy, she flailed like an ape, and finally the knight struck her on the head with his cage and she stopped moving. My mother was then dragged away by two men who held her from both sides. Rene followed silently. A black flame burned in the pit of her stomach. But the grudge would never reach him.

As they walked down the avenue, many people crowded to the side of the road to watch them.

People of all ages, men and women, high and low, had gathered there.

”Die!

”You federal stooge!

”Filthy traitor!

Filthy blood!

A flying stone hit Rene on the head, causing him to bleed profusely.

The curses were surprisingly numerous. That was strange to Rene. He didn't think that his brother, who had forcibly seized the throne by force, would be accepted. He had thought that everyone in the country was being held back by force and fear. But it's not. There are people who welcome the king and his brother, and they watch René and his mother get beaten up as a 'heartbreakingly fun show'. It cast a black shadow over René's heart like a scorch on the bottom of a pot.

More and more people gathered in the square in the center of the castle district of the royal capital where René was being held.

In the center of the square was the execution table, where the guillotine was waiting for its victim.

A limp mother was fastened to the guillotine by the neck, and her body was bound with shackles.

The knight spoke loudly of the ”filthy woman” and the ”unjust king” to whom she had sold her body, and then the blade was simply dropped.

René, who was under the executioner's table, couldn't see him, but he could hear his head roll.

A loud cheer went up. There was cheering, then thunderous applause.

--I see. This is how I'm going to die. And everyone will be happy.

At that moment, Renai felt as if she were standing in the hall of the castle of the Demon King.

That's a monster. They're all monsters. They are monsters in human form who have come to laugh at their deaths.

Rene was dragged up to the execution table.

The monsters were all looking at him. They were excited to know that blood would be spilled.

René knew he could not escape. But in inverse proportion to his helplessness, a crazy anger and resentment was rising from the depths of his body.

Rene's body was pinned to the execution table and his head was placed on the guillotine.

Right next to him, the knight was looking at the parchment and making nonsense of ”unholy bloodline” and ”son of the devil”.

And the decisive moment was only a moment away.

Rene's vision swung in an impossible direction, and his eyes looked upside down at the guillotine blade as it fell.

The moment the head left his body, it was as if the fog of his thoughts cleared and he remembered everything.

He remembered that he was Chojiro Sato, a human who had once lived on Earth, and that he had been reincarnated by the gods of this world after his death.
