– Elena
— Wow!
My blurred consciousness returned in an instant with a glass of cold water. As I tried to get up, I realized that my limbs were bound with cold iron handcuffs.
“… It doesn’t feel good to see you waking up in this state.”
“under! “Did you think something good would come of doing something like that to me?”
A familiar voice full of anger. Only then did I learn the identity of the ‘kidnapper’. Honestly… . I was embarrassed. Why are you here?
“His Royal Highness.”
“Do you think I am the crown prince? “You bitch!”
“…”
“Was it fun? It was fun? me… . Was it so fun to make me a laughing stock of the entire empire?”
I felt a little sorry. I’m not saying this to the idiot in front of me, but to ‘Seungyeop’ who I compared to this guy.
For a long time after that, I heard swear words that I had never heard from anyone in my life. Honestly, I didn’t feel anything. There’s no inspiration in trying to tell parents you’ve never seen their faces like this or that.
Rather, I thought carefully about why things ended up like this. He seemed to vaguely know the answer.
“Who did you hang out with? Is this Pendleton? Did that mother fucker tell you the plan to make me a laughing stock? “You in bed-”
“stop.”
“Whatever you want -”
“Let’s leave it at this. If your mouth dances louder here, this movie would be rated 19+. “I don’t really plan on doing that.”
“still… . still! You look at me funny. On your topic! On your topic! “Do you think it’s okay to be pretty?”
“oh! That line just now is okay. ‘It’s okay if you’re pretty!’ “Do you think it’s pretty?”
“Still joking during this! Okay, today, I’m going to distort your expression.”
When the trembling crown prince beckoned, a servant across from him approached holding hot tongs.
“Pull it out!”
“… Your Majesty the Crown Prince, please fix it just a little bit. “We can resolve this issue now by contacting the count, but-”
“Take out your eyes!”
“Lowering… . “If you do something like this, Your Majesty will also-”
I instantly burst out laughing.
“Foot!”
“you… .”
“Hey, are you really the main character? “If your servant was so funny, he would discipline you like this.”
— Sigh! Clink!
“Kuhuhuhuh!”
“Now, no more servants look down on me! yes?”
I look at the crown prince who is shaking as if he is having a seizure.
The sword pulled from his waist instantly cut into the attendant’s chest. The servant began coughing up foamy blood and stomping on his floor. Was it because it looked so miserable and painful? A knight lined up nearby silently approached and decapitated the attendant with a single sword.
“Lowering.”
“what? Are you planning on telling me to do this and that?”
The crown prince’s eyes were full of glittering murder. His anger at the fact that I, who may have been his first love, had made him a subject of teasing seemed to have burned his reason to ashes.
“… Is that possible? However, no matter what you do, you don’t have much time anymore. Please do your will quickly.”
“joy! good. “I will gouge this woman’s eyes out myself.”
When the crown prince picked up the iron tongs that had fallen on the floor.
I finally accepted that the board was broken.
“iced coffee… . It’s a failure. Where was the mistake? Is it fox hunting after all? “I wonder what scenes I didn’t see.”
“What bullshit-”
“You are behind now.”
— Laaaa!
A heavenly song spreads. The ‘scale’ that appeared twisting the space crushed the handcuffs that bound me in just one moment. My free body floated in the air.
“uh? uh? uh? “What on earth is this?”
Unlike the dazed and perplexed prince, the knights lined up at the back were much more capable people. Some people began to gather in front of the crown prince, some with guns drawn and others with swords drawn.
Of course, it didn’t mean much.
The act of kidnapping me and trying to torture me to death, and the act of murdering my servants in front of my eyes. The act of recklessly trying to protect and protect the person who is doing this. The verdict is death for all.
— Kwasik!
Before my eyes, the knight’s body was crushed like a cake hit by a fist.
“Take care of me and avoid it! “I am the devil”
I? What did I mean? This person’s torso was split lengthwise before he could finish speaking, so whatever he said would not have had much meaning.
Cool. The frustration I felt earlier was instantly replaced by a refreshing feeling. Is this the ‘cider’ sentiment that is popular these days? The knights were talking meaninglessly, and the prince was crying and starting to defecate.
It was no longer in sight.
…
…
Now, there is only one person left.
“Ugh, huh! how… . What on earth? What are you! “How can humans do this!”
In the past, while writing a definition, I couldn’t control my actions at all or even say a word.
I feel like I’m starting to understand these days. Mindset, control.
Isn’t this because it has grown? This may be because I realized what I could and could not do once I understood more specifically the constraints that justice placed on me.
“For example, this is the story.”
“what?”
“Once I use my power, I have to kill you all right here. This is a set rule, and I cannot break it. Additionally, ‘execution’ cannot be stopped. Every moment, every second. I have to move forward for execution. That’s why I’m still reaching out to you.”
“What are you talking about… . What are you talking about? . please please! I am the crown prince of the Atlant Empire! “If you kill me-”
“But if you stick to that principle, can we say that the rest is just random? The order and method of killing are all up to me. For example, the reason I approached you was because I was planning on plucking out your eyeballs.”
There was an iron tong in my hand. The prince’s cries filled the room.
“This isn’t easy. Did you plan on gouging out people’s eyes with something like this? A kid who can’t even hunt foxes… . Let’s just get it over with right away. “I’m a little tired now too.”
The last moment was just a single flash.
and… .
The ending credits have rolled up.
*
“…”
“…”
In a theater filled with silence, everyone watched the ending credits fill the screen, speechless. Finally, a heavy voice broke the silence.
“Guys. this… . “You’re screwed, right?”
“…Mukseong, Seungyeop is there too, so speak carefully. “Use pretty words.”
“Can you say nice things in this situation?”
Elena, who sensed catastrophe, was also leaning against the wall and looking at the sky with a dejected expression. When about 3 minutes passed like that, ‘Taming the Prince – Elena’ finally ended and the lights came back on in the theater.
Everyone was speechless because they didn’t have the energy to say anything, and then something ridiculous started to happen.
“Ttanttattatan!” Follow me, follow me!”
“…Why are you making the sound effect with your mouth?”
“Because we spent too much hotel money on the production of the movie.”
Before we knew it, the guide came out and started saying something ridiculous.
“ruler! Dear participants, now we need time to ‘evaluate’ the movie, right? Of course, it seems difficult for anyone to get a good score for this ‘unique’ scenario, but there is a process. The judges of the luxury goods that the hotel is proud of! “Please come out!”
Are there any judges?
“Tanttta-”
“Shut up!”
The door to the movie theater opened and three people came in. Three judges sat on chairs that suddenly appeared in front of the screen.
All three are familiar faces.
“Merchant, do you do this too?”
“ha ha ha! “Miss Eunsol, are you using the eyes you bought the other day well?”
“I’m writing well. Are you really doing all kinds of things? “Are you getting paid properly?”
“under… . I’m glad there’s someone who understands. Do you have to play multiple roles to some degree? Why are they even asking us to evaluate movies? “This is why the hotel is like this and there is no answer.”
“When you go out later, you can work for me. “I will do a lot less work and pay you a decent salary.”
“thank you.”
It seems that the merchant has become completely friendly with Eunsol’s older sister. He was also familiar with the person next to him.
“Long time no see.”
“Hello, Gain!”
This is the NPC in the souvenir shop in the hotel basement that I saw while hiking. This time, he changed his hair style and appeared with a dumpling.
“From the merchant to the dumpling girl -”
“Just say souvenir girl.”
“I understand the souvenir girl, but what is that? “Can you even talk about that?”
The third judge, the LEGO mystery craftsman on the second floor, did not answer.
The guide smiled brightly as if it was no big deal.
“ha ha ha! Even if you can’t speak, you can evaluate. Shall we get started now? “Even though the judges chatted a lot, I believe they will give thorough evaluations!”
The first to step forward was a merchant. As if he had no intention of hiding it anymore, the merchant ripped his mouth vertically, openly exposing his non-human body, and swung his tentacles to pull out the O panel from his waist.
“pass!”
“what?”
“Ugh?”
We were even more surprised.
“pass! My score is passing! In over 100 years of working in hotels, I have never seen such an original scenario. What era is it these days? Isn’t passport growth and girl crush the trend now? “Is there a clearer girl crush than crushing the male protagonist?”
Everyone, even the guide, was speechless for a moment.
“A new era, the 21st century! It’s time for romance movies to feature the female protagonist killing the male protagonist! Isn’t this completely MZ? “Isn’t this a complete multiverse?”
“Oh please shut up!”
The souvenir girl sitting next to me looked irritated and held up the X panel.
“Ignore what this bastard says. Do you know what MZ and multiverse mean?”
“know. “Isn’t MZ an abbreviation for ‘messy deployment’?”
“ah… . How long do I have to be trapped in a hotel and work with a guy like this? . Anyway, honestly, this is my first time seeing such a sick ending, so I failed! It’s definitely a failure. Also, what’s with the intermittent narration? No, the female protagonist ignored the male protagonist from the beginning!”
I had something to say about that part, so I raised my hand carefully.
“I… . “Can I give my opinion?”
“Participant Han Ga-in, of course! If participants have differing opinions, they will actively voice them. Convincing the judges also depends on your skills.”
“No, please look at the narration. In the first place, where is the movie that reveals one’s inner thoughts at random? “If the actors’ feelings were expressed in masterpiece movies as is, there would be quite a few absurd cases, right?”
Eunsol’s sister immediately received my complaint.
“that’s right! Titanic, for example. You all know the scene in the second half where Leonardo DiCaprio bids farewell to his heroine in cold water, right? What were Leonardo DiCaprio’s ‘true feelings’ like in that scene? ‘cold! cold! I’m going to die from the cold, so please finish filming this guy quickly! ‘Who is the bastard who made a NG earlier?’ Wasn’t it like this?”
The girl at the souvenir shop seemed to think for a moment and then answered.
“good! Since it is not wrong, the narration will not be reflected in the evaluation from now on. But even if you take that away, the ending is a mess. Elena killed the crown prince by blowing him up with a scale? “Is there anyone who can refute this?”
No one opened their mouths. In the end, the second evaluation was decided at X. The last Lego did not open its mouth at all and only raised an X, confirming that Elena’s first attempt ended in failure.
*
For a moment, everyone came out of the movie theater, to be exact, everyone except Elena. The doctor broke the silence.
“I have to go back in soon because I have to rescue Miss Elena. “Let’s start by analyzing why it failed.”
“Fox hunting.”
“Fox hunting.”
In an instant everyone said the same word. The reason why Elena’s attempt failed, and the reason why the crown prince went crazy in the latter half of the film.
… ‘We’ saw the answer. Elena, who was inside, didn’t seem to know what was going on, but we, who were on the outside, saw it clearly.
Sister Eunsol sighed deeply.
“Fox hunting, that’s so messed up…” . Think about it from the crown prince’s perspective. I might have been happy on the day of the hunt. But you eventually found out the truth.”
Yes. Between the fox hunt and the New Year’s celebration, there was a scene where several mischievous nobles revealed the ‘truth’ to the crown prince. Given the circumstances, it seemed like Elena didn’t see the scene.
Jincheol also opened his mouth as if he was disappointed.
“Honestly, I understand part of the Crown Prince’s psychology. I thought I was humiliated because I couldn’t shoot well at the hunting competition held every year, but how happy must I have been when the first fox I shot in my life fell down? But later I found out the truth. “It was all fabricated.”
Songi was also involved.
“In fact, there is a bigger problem than the fact that it was fabricated. The nobles knew about the manipulation on the spot. What did the crown prince think when he realized all this? You probably thought that the nobles were making fun of you and making fun of you as a group, right? The shock alone shattered my mentality, but when I realized that it was my ‘first love’ Elena who had planned it all… .”
I received it next.
“You’ve gone crazy. “He was already the size of a pea, but when something like this happened, he completely turned around.”
Ari tidied up, feeling tired.
“now. Now let’s make sure the next person doesn’t make the same mistake. Who wants to go in? “Cain?”
“Ahh! Hey, I’m a guy!”
“Who cares? Is this Princess Evelyn who was at the party? She’s pretty pretty and she’s possessing that girl in her body. “This time, we’re watching too, so don’t touch my breasts.”
I was so embarrassed by the sudden attack that I couldn’t even breathe! Instead of trying to stop Ari, those around her were busy giggling.
“Ahahaha! Ari, by the way, Ga-in oppa is surprised.”
“Then are you Song?”
“Cough! Ugh, Eunsol is a girl too -”
“Oh my, it’s Song. Consider your age. “I’m 15 years older than the crown prince. Is that okay?”
“Then Ari, you go in!”
“Have you not seen the movie title? There was a horror movie at the end. Just looking at it, I’m right about it. Have you seen as many monsters in your life as I have?”
Eyes slowly gather towards Songi. Song-i finally said that she would go in, looking like she was going to cry.
“that… . “Can’t everyone wear earplugs?”
No one answered.
