My Childhood Friends Are Trying To Kill Me

Reborn into a life cut tragically short and bizarrely ended, the protagonist finds herself not only inhabiting a new body but also assuming the role of the crown prince. This leads her to a secret, neutral territory where young men from the five imperial families convene. To them, she is known only as a boy. Before her departure, she bid farewell to her childhood friends, believing they would never meet again, as the prince's death was imminent. She cherished their time together and wished them happiness. Years later, her former childhood friends, now renowned heroes who vanquished a wild dragon, have returned. They confront her, accusing her of their friend's murder and questioning how she, the supposed killer of the previous crown prince, lives comfortably as a princess. They demand to know her motives, vowing to inflict unimaginable torment. Unbeknownst to them, their childhood companion is right before them, yet they fail to recognize her. The perilous reality dawns: her childhood friends are now intent on killing her.
