What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy? Chapter 449 She’s Lived Through Them

It has already been a day since we rescued Tiara from that demon dinsion.

I'm currently seated beside her bed while she still remained unconscious even after the sun had risen up from the horizon.

I sat beside her bed, watching over the princess wondering when she would finally wake up.

"Mistress, there's no need for you to watch over her," Katsuki inford for the third ti today.

"Mmm… I know, I just want to. Could you bring so sweets from the kitchen, Katsuki? Enough for two so that she has sothing to eat when she wakes up?"

She bowed, "Of course Mistress. I will be back as soon as I can."

My Inugami maid left the room, leaving alone with the princess.

On the way out, I saw her conversing with Aria, Tiara's personal maid, who was standing guard outside diligently.

From what I knew, Aria was still blaming herself for allowing the princess to be taken under her watch.

No one blad her though, since these were demons we were talking about, and a normal Mahun wouldn't be able to beat one by themselves.

The door closed and I idly entertained the thought of kissing her to wake her up but of course decided that was a dumb idea, especially how kissing was viewed in this World.

The King might have said it was fine if I wanted to marry her but I worry more about what Tiara thought about it than the King.

I poked her on the cheek, "How long are you going to sleep, Tiara? Aren't you supposed to wake up the mont we rescued you?"

Of course, there was no response from the unconscious princess.

Hmm… I still have so cookies that I kept in my Pack of Folding… I wonder if… You know what? Let's try it~

I dug through my bag to look for the cookies in question and found it easily enough.

They were wrapped up in a paper packaging so I brought it over to Tiara's side before unwrapping them.

The sweet sll of the cookies wafted into the air, still fresh as though they had just been brought out of the oven.

I peeked at Tiara, fully expecting her to leap out of bed at the sll of the cookies, only to see no response from her.

I sighed in disappointnt before taking one of the cookies up to have a bite. If she wasn't going to wake up to eat one, then I might as well eat them myself.

Nom~

Mmm~ Still as delicious as I rember~

"Nom~"

Hmm?

I looked down to see Tiara munching on the cookie that I was holding in my hand, the princess looking up at with flushed cheeks as though she was embarrassed that I caught her in this position.

We just stared at each other for a few seconds before I recovered enough to speak.

"Good morning, Tiara."

She blinked a few tis at while her mouth stayed latched on the cookie in my hands, "Mnnn… Gworf morfwing?"

I giggled, "Ehehe~ You might want to talk only after taking your mouth off the cookie."

She did just as I suggested, her eyes still locked on my face, "Aster?"

That was when I realised I wasn't wearing my mask and this should have been Tiara's first ti seeing my face.

I had a slight panic attack since I just revealed my face to Tiara. The King and Queen were not a problem since they were apparently aware of the existence of Off-Worlders but I'm not sure if I should be revealing my face to the Princess.

"Umm… Umm… I… I don't know--"

She interrupted by placing her hand on my cheek, which surprised since I didn't expect Tiara to be so forward like that.

Then I realised that the look in her eyes was comparably different from the Tiara that I was used to.

She spoke before I could ask, "I saw everything, Aster… When the demons captured … I saw everything."

I blinked at her, "You… Were conscious the whole ti?"

Tiara shook her head before looking back down at the cookie in my hands and pointing at it, "Can I have that?"

I wordlessly handed over the cookie to her and she began nibbling on it cutely.

As though realising that what she had was a cookie, her nibbles quickly changed into taking big bites out of the sweet and the cookie disappeared almost instantly.

Her face also changed into one of pure bliss as she took a minute to soak in the sweetness of the cookie.

Oh, I know that feeling so I simply smiled at her when she just sat there basking in the sweet afterglow.

Tiara then jerked herself back awake and turned to , her face blushing up to her ears, "Err… Err… Where… Where did I stop?"

"You told that you saw everything," I reminded her.

She nodded, "Ah, that's right. I rember the demons attacking the carriage. Aria tried to protect but they overturned the entire carriage and she shielded with her own body so that I wasn't hurt. But I think they started throwing the carriage around which knocked her out… The last I rember from that was the carriage door being torn open and a demon snatching up."

I tilted my head at her, finding the behaviour of Tiara being quite weird especially since I don't rember her speaking like this.

"Umm… So you don't rember what happened after that?" I asked.

Tiara pursed her lips, "I… Did not see out of this body… If that answers your question."

It only took less than a second to understand what she ant and gaped at her, "No… You an…"

"Yes… I saw through the eyes of the other versions of myself… Experienced what they experienced, felt what they felt, including…"

Her words trailed off and I did not need to ask her to know what she had wanted to say.

She felt herself die multiple tis, including the one where the older Tiara had stabbed herself through the throat and those tis she got decapitated or bled out to death.

"How… How long…" I asked, already fearing the answer she might give.

"I'm… Not sure… It felt like I had lived multiple lives from start to finish. All of them felt real but also like a dream… Except when I felt pain, I did not wake up from the dream… Only when they died did I 'wake up', but in another version of instead… I saw their Worlds, Aster… I saw how their Worlds burned and the people around them died. I experienced their pain when they were the last to be left alive… I felt their suffering when they crawled through the mirror to try and kill… ... Just so that they can free themselves from the suffering."

I didn't know what to say to that. What could I even say?

Her hand then reached out to lay on top of mine, "But… I also felt the warmth of your magic… When you saved from turning into a demon. How you held even when others have given up on … There were others in those dinsions who left or stabbed in the back. But you did not, even when you thought that was not the real . Thank you Aster."

I held her gaze, "That… I just treated her like another you…"

"And I thank you all the sa."

I giggled, "You really don't sound like a little girl anymore."

She blinked, "Ah… That's right. How old am I here? Actually… That doesn't matter anymore… I don't think I can go back to the past … In fact… I wish to stop being a princess…"

"Eh?! Wait, I understand the first part but why the second part?"

She looked away, "Did you know… How many of those versions of ended up needing to sacrifice themselves and everyone that they cared for because it was 'expected' of them?"

"... Was that because you were the princess of those dinsions?"

Tiara nodded, "I was just a sacrifice in all of them… Just because I was the princess. In one, I was married off to so slob I hated as a peace offering… In another, I was exiled and left to fend for myself to take the bla for soone else… In another, I was betrayed by my own family because of their fight for the throne… I know that those were different dinsions but… I don't wish to be a part of that anymore…"

I scratched my cheek, "Then… What do you want to do? You're not even of age yet right now."

"Mmm… I suppose… I will just continue to get stronger… Then when the ti cos, I shall renounce my claim on the throne and live my life as a commoner. I'm sure Father… Daddy… Will understand."

She then turned her gaze back to , "Aster… No… Can I… Can I still call you Big Sister?"

I smiled at her, "Didn't I tell you before? You can call whatever you want."

That also brought a smile on her face, though the smile was one that was filled with years of pain and regret, sothing that you would not want to see on a child like her.

I felt that it was such a waste that she had lost that innocence that she had before, I still quite enjoyed our ti eating sweets together.

I then realised I was still holding so cookies left in my hand.

I lifted up the rest of the cookies, "So do you still want the rest of the cookies?"

" want!! Nom~" She squealed, her attitude completely doing a one eighty as she lunged for and munched on the offered cookies.

She then started munching on them with a blissful smile on her face, the lancholy from earlier completely disappearing without a trace.

Ah…

So that old Tiara is still there, you just have to bring her out with cookies.

Got it~
