A God Killed Me By Accident, But I Reincarnated As The 4th Son Of The Marquis

The group continued to play for some time. That was when Keith asked, ”What else do you kids want to play?” 

”Dress up!”

”Ah, what kind of dress-up do you want to do?” 

”Masked Thief and the princess!” The children’s voices overlapped with one another, resonating with one another. Keith froze on the spot while Krystal and Carolyn glanced at one another. 

The man questioned, ”How do you know about Masked Thief?” The North shouldn’t have seen something like that. 

There was no way...Right?

”There are a lot of masks,” One child commented. 

”Eh?” Keith blinked. What do you mean by mask? There was no need to wonder as, 

”I got one!” One kid took out a mask; it was the same one that Masked Thief wore.

”...”

”I do, too!” Another mask was taken out as well. One by one, the children started to take them out!

”...” Oh my goodness. Carolyn and Krystal gasped at the sight of these masks. Yet, they wanted to see how this would play out.

”I will protect you from everything, Princess!” The children with masks quickly went before another as they declared. 

”No, I will protect you with everything I have!” Another child stated.

”I have a recording stone!” But that was when Leon took out a stone, and it started to play.

”Umm,” Like a broken record. Keith tried to say something, but it came out in mumbles. Carolyn covered his mouth, ”Don’t destroy this for the children.”

”...” Do I really have to watch this?! It seemed so because Krystal and May had no plans to help or stop this. As they talked, one child stared intently at Carolyn.

”What’s the matter?” The princess noticed the look as she smiled. 

”It’s the princess!” While they watched the recording stone, the children realized that the person inside the recording was none other than Carolyn! 

”Pretty Princess!” Eyes of reverence and awe were gazed at her. 

”Uh,” Carolyn scratched her head as she turned to Keith. What should I do? Being looked at like this was embarrassing. 

Don’t look at me. You’re the one who stopped me. 

”Can you do it again?”

”Wut?”

”We want to see it again!”

”Then who would play Masked Thief?” When that was said, Carolyn then turned over to Keith. The kids did the same as well.

”...There’s someone else who would play Masked Thief perfectly!” Keith then pointed at the girl, ”We have here, Krystal! She’s a swordsman, and she’s perfect for the job!”

”...” Keith? Krystal blinked. Why am I a part of this? 

You’re joining this for not helping me! This was going to be everyone getting in trouble! Carolyn was getting one, and she was as well! 

”Knight and princess?” The children were quite interested. 

”Then Big Brother shall be the evil prince!” One child commented. 

”...” I’m still part of it?

Wait a minute, evil prince? Doesn’t that mean... 

Keith was playing Alger. Krystal and Carolyn looked at one another. That was a scene that all wanted to see. However, would the guy’s pride allow it? The man had been saying how much he hated him.

Yet, he had to play him? 

”…Understood,” Keith sighed in defeat. I can’t believe I’m going to be the one who will do this. 

”Big Sister, wear this!” A kid handed Krystal a mask. To be a Masked Thief, a mask was a must. 

”…Thank you.” Krystal took a deep breath as she wore it.

That was when the play started. Keith started to laugh, ”Muahahaha! I have stolen the princess! With this, I will use my weapon to take over the world!!!”

”...” Keith, that was not what Alger said. However, Keith kept it going since the children were immersed in his acting. He gave Carolyn a look. 

The princess got the message, ”Oh, whatever shall I do? Will there be a prince for me?”

”Oh, what a beautiful pair, but are they truly in love? Such flowery words, yet behind the scenes, are only thorns.” Krystal said the exact same words as the thief. But anyone could tell there was something wrong, embarrassed? It was probably more so. 

”Princess, I shall whisk you away!” Krystal quickly grabbed Carolyn and did a princess carry!

”Yay!” ”I want to do the same!” The children cheered at the performance. But as they did so,

”No, I’ve been defeated,” Keith fainted on the ground. His face was done on the ground, relieved. Glad this is over with.

”May! Be the princess this time!” ”Keith be Masked Thief!”

”…” May’s eyes widened while Keith blinked. Are you kidding me? Do I still have to do this?

”…Please!” The kids stared at him. 

”…Okay,” Keith sighed, ”Can I get the mask this time?”

”Princess, I shall whisk you away from there!” Keith then grabbed May with a princess carry and quickly moved away.

“…” The others were spellbound by the sight. Carolyn and the others didn’t say as they watched. This kept going for some time before he was done reenacting it. 

The kids were satisfied with all of these scenes.

”By the way, kids. Where did you guys get the mask?” It was now time to figure out what was going on. 

”Ah! We got it from the White Owl Merchant Store. It’s also in the blacksmith shop as well,”

”…” Keith froze when he heard that.

”…” Keith? That’s not a face you should be making. 

”...Thank you for everything,” Keith grinned, ”Here are some chocolates for all of you. You’re all good kids.” When that was said, it was time for them to head off again.

”…I’m going to kill someone.” 

The others gulped; it was going to be a bloodbath.
