Not only was I absurdly reincarnated into a character destined to die, but I was also sent to a sacred neutral zone where the five imperial princes gathered, in place of the crown prince.

That means... my childhood friends think I'm the crown prince, or more accurately, a man.

"Goodbye, guys."

I cried my heart out, bidding farewell to my friends whom I might never see again. It's because I (the crown prince) was officially scheduled to die soon!

Guys, it was fun being with you, and even though I won't be able to see you again, I hope you all live happily!

Many years later. The heroes who defeated the great dragon, my childhood friends, came looking for me.

"Is that you? The one who killed my friend?"

"You killed the former crown prince and have been living a luxurious life as a princess?"

"I'll torture you to death as painfully as possible."

"Answer me. Why did you kill him?"

Naturally, they didn't recognize me at all.
No, the problem isn't that they didn't recognize me...

My childhood friends are trying to kill me!

Wait, guys, hold on a second!
