Now This Family Belongs To My Mother

“That’s a lie, right? That my mother has passed away!”

“No, it’s true, Epilosa.”

They had used my mother, the rightful heir chosen by the divine beast, as a sacrifice.

And they had lied to me, telling me she was alive.

“We killed your mother.”

I had endured grueling and degrading tasks to pay for her treatment.

But now, they intended to use me as the next sacrifice.

“I did everything you asked for the family. Why would you do something so cruel to me?”

“Family? You think you’re family? Ha!”

All I received in return was scornful laughter.

It was my fault.

I had been foolish.

Because of me, my mother…

‘I was wrong, Mother. I’m so sorry….’

If only I could fix everything.

– If given one more chance, could you truly set things right?

In the face of death, I heard a voice.

Desperately, I cried out,

– Yes, I mean it. If you give me a chance, I’ll set everything right. Please!

***

When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the past.

My mother was there.

She was alive!

I ran to her and embraced her tightly.

“Mother, this time I’ll protect you.”

In this life, I will take revenge on them,

and I will reclaim my mother’s rightful position as the head of the family.
