The on the Shield Hero

"AAAAHHH!!!"

Malty Melromarc woke up while screaming.

I... I'm still alive?!

Wasn't I burned to **** at the stake?

She looked around and found that she was in a very familiar room.

This is... my room. My old room, back in these happy days...

It looked like the maids heard her scream. Some of them pushed the door open, rushing in with candles:

"Princess, are you alright?"

"No... nothing. I just have a nightmare. Leave me alone, I'm fine."

The maids looked at each other, then retreated to the door: "Then... goodnight, Princess."

"Ah, wait... What day is today?"

"Eh... Today is the Day of Summoning. Four hours later, when the sun is rising, the mages would perform the spell to summon Four Legendary Heroes."

"Okay, you can leave now."

Being left alone again, Malty began to plan a scheme.

"It's back to the beginning of everything. This time, I'll take my **** on that damned Shield Hero!"
