Synopsis
Executed tyrant Dorothea is reincarnated as a child and must choose to become good instead of repeating her bloodthirsty past.
Nothing was ever handed to Dorothea Millanaire. No attention, no love, no power. So she decided to take them for herself... with her sword! She accepts her fate when she is executed for being a bloodthirsty tyrant, only to wake up... as a child?! This is her second chance. She must not repeat history. She must be good.
