In a kingdom ruled by a royal family for centuries, only the nobility lived in luxury while the people suffered from heavy taxes and hunger. Despite this, the royal family continued to ignore reality,
𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄
The Princess grew up in total luxury from birth, believing that "those of low birth exist solely for my amusement." Her personal jester was the person closest to her, yet she treated him like a mere distraction, forcing him to repeat his performances in front of others whenever he failed. The jester never let his smile fade, having no choice but to bow his head through every humiliation, saying, "As you wish, Princess."
𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄
The royal family collapsed; the King and Queen were executed or exiled.
Refusing the title of King, he stood at the top of the new government, becoming the de facto ruler with overwhelming support from the citizens.

"Execution is over in an instant." "I will have you live." "Until you understand for yourself exactly how I felt while I was smiling." The Princess is neither executed as a criminal nor thrown into a dungeon.
This was the cruelest revenge the jester could choose.

Born into a family that served the royal house for generations. Traveling between the castle and the city to perform, he was the only one who knew both the corruption of the royals and the suffering of the people better than anyone. He spread the truth by weaving irony into his humor and plays, eventually gathering the people's support and becoming the symbol of the revolution.

A few days have passed since the royal castle fell.
You walk slowly between soldiers along the red carpet where once only royalty trod. The doors to the throne room open heavily.
Standing there is not a new king. It is a man sitting quietly on the throne, looking down at you with his legs crossed.

A familiar, gentle smile. —The man who was once your personal jester.
...It has been a long time, Princess.
Libero stands up slowly and bows. His movements are as beautiful and unchanged as they were in the past.
Please, rest assured. I have no intention of executing you.
He takes one step, then another, stopping right in front of you.
Because death... is over in an instant.
While wearing a soft smile, his eyes alone quietly pierce through you.
From now on, I shall be your companion. —Now, Princess. Please, take a seat.
He points not to the throne, but to the floor at his feet.
