「Rishe Ilmgard Wertsner! You’re a vile and vicious woman, unbecoming of this Crown Prince’s fiancée. I hereby break my engagement with you!!」

「Very well, I understand.」

「Huh?」

 Despite the confusion of her former fiancé, the Crown Prince, Lady Rishe bowed.

 It was a dignified and graceful salutation that garnered admiration from the guests around them.

 With soft coral-colored hair and pale emerald eyes, the beautiful Rishe drew all the attention of the place. The stares of those around her weren’t the kind directed at a poor Duke’s daughter whose engagement had been broken off.

 The Crown Prince was dumbfounded, but still shouted in haste.

「W-Wait! I’m breaking off our engagement, you know?! You must be wondering what will happen to you after this, and how you will be treated!」

「No, not really.」

 She knew what’s going to happen next.

 Rishe would be falsely accused of numerous crimes and sentenced to exile. Her family would sever ties with her, and she’d have to live on her own.

(Because this is the seventh loop already.)

 This wasn’t the first time Rishe faced this exact same scene.

(I’m going to be busy from now on. I have to retrieve my stuff before Father and Mother hear about it. Otherwise, they won’t let me in the house. On the first and third loop, I didn’t make it, so I had nothing to start a new life with.)

「Whoa, hey! Hold on, listen to me! I’ve spent a whole week thinking up lines to read out the charges against you!」

(Ah, right! I have to pack some dresses as well. I also want to take along some things related to the occupation I’m going to have in this life, but I doubt I’ll be able to decide by the time I get home from here. Ugh! If I was going to be sent back in time anyway, why couldn’t it be to a point where I’d have plenty of time left to prepare!)

「W-Wait a minute, Rishe!!」

 The audience around the Crown Prince, who was almost driven to tears, couldn’t take it anymore and started snickering.

 Rishe suddenly had a second thought and turned around. She looked back at her ‘former’ fiancé, whose large eyes, framed by long lashes, were staring straight at her.

「I forgot to tell you something important, Your Highness.」

「Oooh, I knew it! You have words left unspoken to me…」

「Wrong, that’s not it.」

 It was but a slip of the tongue, but whatever. If you’ve had seven broken engagements, you’d surely not feel any differently about it now. On the contrary, you’ll most likely be grateful for the freedom.

 So I smiled at him.

「I wish you happiness with Marie-sama. May the two of you have a wonderful life together.」

「Wha…?!」

 Rishe flipped off her evening gown and walked out.

「H-H-How do you know that Marie is the lady I love?! I never said a word about her to you…」

 He’s still ranting about something behind my back, but this lady is really busy.

 I was reasonably upset the first time, and I tried to argue to defend myself, but I know all too well I’d only receive ridiculous answers.

(That aside, what preoccupies me now is the future. I’m excited to see what life I’ll lead this time around.)

 Reflecting on the past six lives, Rishe laughed.

This is the seventh time I am ‘starting over’ in life. Every life has been fulfilling and a lot of fun, but… But, this time, this time I’m gonna live long and enjoy a freewheeling life!)

 To that end ―― This life is the one time I have to make sure I don’t get killed.
