“Rejoice, Gustav! You’re engaged to Princess Abigail, the first princess of the Strasclaid Empire!”

Gustav heard these words from his father, the king, for the second time. Gustav, the sixth prince of the Valrois Kingdom, was actually living his second life.

In his first life, he had been betrayed by the kingdom, the king, his five brothers, and the one person he had believed in as his ally, the saint Cecile. He had been executed on the guillotine.

However, in this second life, he would survive. He would seek revenge on all those who had betrayed him, and he would bring despair and suffering to them.

And then…

“Gustav, I’ve always… loved you.”

In order to know the continuation of the last words of his fiancee in his first life, the “Guillotine Princess” Abigail.

This is the story of a man betrayed by everyone, who, in a world where he returns from death, finds happiness alongside a princess who doesn’t smile.

    I am really digging the story.

    It's the typical returner for revenge story.

    With the twist that the MC is the PRINCE, not the PRINCESS or the disregarded "abandoned daughter".

    ... more>> The political plots regarding our MC and his circumstances at the beginning of our story are very similar to "Political marriage with a friendly enemy", a disregarded 6th prince, hated in his kingdom, sent to marry into the Empire to the first princess, as a political hostage.

    It's... kind of awkward, there are several things in the setting that crumble or are just counter intuitive to MAKE the plot work, because it "wouldn't" work if the author really went to historical absolutes, like such a weak and powerless prince being accepted into the Imperial family, not sent as a real hostage, no no, but as the partner of a legitimate heir for the Empire crown, no Imperial family would even think about trying to set up an enemy as the "potential heir" partner, no matter how removed from the crown and disregarded as he was in his original kingdom, to be involved with one of the Empires direct heirs is idiotic (Even the Romans mu*dered every descendant of Julius Caesar in Egypt to remove claims of legitimacy from the Roman throne).

    But as you keep reading you begin to realize it was kind of woven into the narrative from the start, it just doesn't really work if you take into account the political nature of the narrative, it's a flawed premise, but it's just an "excuse" or the plot wouldn't advance as fast as the author wants it to advance (there are circumstances that "could" work, but it would mean the connection of our main couple would be much later and wouldn't exist in the initial premise, but as a consequence of ANOTHER premise that was discarded in favor of the plot device the author WANTED to use).

    The author has taken several FAVORITE plot devices used in this kind of stories and meshed them all in a way that kiiiind of works, if you squint a bit, and disregard common sense for a moment... but it's... weird, the focus are politics, and every single aspect of those AFTER that one really do make sense and work fine, it's just that the initial one doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but the rest do... it's really uncanny how close the author made it up to work, but the excuse is way too flimsy and petty from day one.

    It's too romantic in tone... which contrast with the rest of the cold political tone of the story and makes things awkward.

    I really found it strange that the MC didn't notice the main implications of his circumstances himself... but well, we already know he's an idiot from his first life.

    If you're familiar with this kind of political scheming, nothing will come off as a surprise, it's filled with clichés and over used tropes.

    And the "twist", having the MC be male instead of female haves him earn his place in a very different way than how a princess would do it is an interesting twist, good enough to keep the setting from really being weighted down under the unreasonable initial premise of the situation.

    It's a good portrayal, I'm really liking it.

    I am just going to complain about some aspects of the translation.

    EMPIRE being used instead of KINGDOM, and the other way around, where the difference REALLY MATTERS because the politics are intertwined among these two countries, makes it very confusing to follow what the political implications mean to each party.

    Him and Her being, again, mixed up several times when referring to someone or another, really hurts when you HAVE to know which character is thinking what about whom... If you take one meaning it would mean the sister of the Knights vice commander is WORKING for her brother to have him end up with our FL, if you take it in another it would mean she's working AGAINST HER BROTHER to help the FL... it just doesn't make anything clear because THE DIALOG KEEPS CHANGING "HIM" AND "HER" SO YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT.

    Those are things you can't really grasp in the "context" of the "dialog" because it really CHANGES depending on who they were referring to... it doesn't make ANY SENSE whatsoever.

    ME, I, HER, HIM all those are used interchangeably every single dialog and it's so frustrating because you need to read all the context to understand, and even then it sometimes remains unclear, like the previous example I used, I don't know if the maid wants to help or not our MC... because I don't know if she was talking about her brother or the FL in her dialog...

    But... considering the story is so trope and cliché riddled, in the end you will know eventually when things advance and resolve themselves what was the real meaning, which it makes me laugh but, since this is a political mystery thriller, works to keep the mystery on the long run, because you WANT to know wtf was she talking about and you KNOW you'll learn when the story reaches that resolution, THEN you can find out if she was helping her brother or the FL hahahahahaha.

    So yeah, even with the awful, terrible, incredibly confusing translation, I recommend this story to the people that can endure those kinds of things in favor of the narrative, the twist, and the politics of the story.

    It works, when it shouldn't, just enough to be interesting, because the main character, is a man, and that's carrying the rest, it's a very interesting twist even if the setting doesn't entirely hold up to scrutiny... I've read worse returner stories, the male thing makes it interesting in it's own right.

    3 stars because the premise is cliché, trope ridden and the translation is terrible on some parts, BUT since the twist works, it's an OK story to read in it's current iteration. <<less
