A ‘Zoo Date’ event that suddenly occurred! But isn’t this development a development that didn’t exist when Elena entered? I felt uneasy for a moment.
The prince’s expression darkened as if he had read my anxious expression. He is truly an easy person to read.
“I accept your invitation as the honor of a lifetime.”
I bowed slowly and in a way that felt exaggerated. So that he doesn’t feel any insecurity towards me.
“Hey, there’s no need for this! “We are friends now!”
The boy who said that revealed a smile that he couldn’t hide. The attendant next to me, Geland, told me that he would soon send a servant to set a date.
Of course, as soon as I accepted, the space already started shaking.
*
“The plot is different, isn’t it? Being invited to the imperial palace? There was no story like this during Elena’s time… .”
“It seems like the plot changes depending on how you act. Well, that’s how someone gets a good ending and someone else gets a bad ending.”
*
The ‘Prince’s Zoo’ event, which started naturally, was a bit absurd.
This is because whenever I tried to look at the animal, time suddenly and unnaturally passed by. I thought it was a characteristic of the movie that it boldly omitted the ‘animals’ and allocated time to the relationship between the female and male protagonists.
Honestly, I was a little disappointed.
I also wanted to see at least once the mysterious animals from another world that the crown prince would have collected from all over the world. Of course, I didn’t come into the movie to see animals, so let’s just say that. There is a need to follow this trend.
“Sir, there is a horse riding range nearby, right? “Can I have a look at the Motian you told me about the other day?”
“…Motian? “Motian has been feeling a little sick lately.”
For a moment, I almost sighed at the crown prince’s shallow lie. I understand the psychology of not wanting to be seen falling off a horse in front of a girl you like.
But I also had my own plan, so I went a little stronger this time.
When the Crown Prince made the excuse that he wanted to see the condition of the horse, he could not easily refuse. Whatever it is, it’s probably because it’s a gift from my father.
Indeed, the spirit of Motian, a famous horse that did not recognize its owner, was brutal.
— Hee hee hee!
“Uh, huh! look! Motian is a bit strange, isn’t it? “It must hurt somewhere.”
“wait a minute.”
I slightly lowered my top to cover my ‘bracelet’. A white flash that could not be hidden passed by and Motian trembled. Fortunately, the crown prince behind him didn’t seem to see anything.
Horses are naturally very timid creatures. The aggression shown by horses is often caused by being ‘frightened’ for some reason rather than being ferocious.
The causes are diverse. The problem may be due to certain clothes the owner is wearing, smell, body type, or sound. To put it simply, I think Motian shows an aggressive attitude because he feels ‘fear’ of the crown prince.
How can I solve this problem?
Long ago, dragoons who rode horses and fired muskets used harsh methods to deal with horses that could not adapt to the sound of gunfire. It made speech deaf. Sometimes the solution may be to block the senses so the horse cannot perceive something that is causing fear.
A moment ago, Motian’s senses were shaken. The world that Motian perceives has been recreated by my hands.
“what? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“Have you become quieter?”
“uh… . That’s right. “I’ve never seen Motian so calm.”
“Why don’t you try climbing on it now?”
Even though the crown prince looked anxious, he could not refuse my request. It was so easy to see what this boy was thinking that it made me laugh.
‘please! Mortian, please! Don’t drop me this time!’ It must be full of thoughts like that.
After a while, my plan was successful.
“Hey! haha! Motian, why has such a good child been so sharp all this time?”
“It may have taken some time to adapt because it was an unfamiliar environment.”
The prince’s laughter astride the Motian filled first the stable and then the field.
After a while, the crown prince returned to my side, his mouth still torn open.
“You know a lot about horses! It was really fun. “Strangely, everything seems to go well when I’m with you.”
The knights waiting nearby also brightened their expressions, as if they were pleased with the owner’s cheers.
“Lady Crocibel! You have good skills. In fact, Lady Evelyn-”
“Rupert!”
The sharp shout seemed to pierce my ears. As she was panicking and trying to look at the crown prince, her eyes met. This is because the crown prince turned his gaze towards me as if he was watching me.
For a split second, the man and woman exchanged glances as if trying to guess each other’s thoughts, but then quickly looked away.
“Rice, it’s nothing special. “It looks like Rupert said something useless again, but you don’t need to worry about it.”
“…”
What is this atmosphere?
The knight named Rupert was hanging his head in death, and the attendant was glaring at him as if he was going to eat him. The crown prince is startled and looks at me.
All of this was triggered by the single word ‘Evelyn’.
It’s Evelyn… . I roughly know who it is. She was one of the girls at the party during the first event. She boasts considerable beauty, so she used to mention that during meetings, when she made fun of her older brother, Ari was her favorite.
Mimora… . When I focused on the word ‘beauty’, I felt something eerie.
This place is not in reality, but in a movie. In movies, a beautiful woman is no different from the meaning of an ‘expensive actress.’ Actors themselves have appearances that the average person cannot match, but if their appearance shines even among them, their mouths will drop open when they meet them in real life.
Could such a girl be just an extra? Doesn’t it have some role to play?
*
“Do you think Songi’s analysis is persuasive?”
Ari responded to her sister’s words.
“Certainly that girl named Evelyn was too pretty to be an extra. Is he a villain? “The movie is already halfway through, so it’s time for it to come out.”
“Uhm… . “Ari, the joke you made may have been a simple fact.”
“joke?”
“The joke is that Ga-in should have gone in and possessed Evelyn. If she had done that, she would have had less to worry about villains.”
“Eunsol, I never joked. “Next time, it’s definitely Ga-in.”
“Joe, be quiet. “Now it’s revealed who Evelyn is!”
*
… Evelyn was a character with that kind of setting.
Unlike the knights and the crown prince, who were busy trying to hide it from me, the servant seemed to think it was something that could not be hidden anyway, so he took the opportunity to carefully convey it. Before I could be taken aback by the unexpected information, the space shook, announcing the start of the next event.
What started next was the city’s New Year’s festival.
It was an event that Elena also experienced, but the progression was different. First of all, there was no way the crown prince’s servant would secretly follow me and kidnap me. Instead, she came out in the open and shared the crown prince’s cute opinion.
“You want me to date like a commoner?”
“That’s right. His Majesty said, “Walking among the commoners and seeing what their lives are like is also related to my duties as a crown prince.”
From then on, the servants added the following words, but the content is simple. The idea is to wear plain clothes instead of fancy dresses, disguise yourself as commoners, and walk among them to enjoy the festival. Of course, camouflaged escorts nearby naturally follow.
The progress was quick, perhaps due to the pressure of running time.
To be honest, I was a little taken aback because it was so quick. I was talking to a servant about 3 seconds ago, but when I closed my eyes and opened them, my clothes had changed and I woke up in the middle of a city during a festival!
“Re, Lady Songi! Come this way -”
“Lowering.”
“hmm?”
Elena is good at setting the mood like this, so I imitate her a bit – no, really, don’t think like this!
Let’s think of it as imitating Ga-in. Because he is the best person in the world at suddenly gaining form and deceiving people with strange words. After all, he’s good-looking, so even if he talks bullshit, he still gets the vibe – no, stop thinking that’s really weird!
*
“Songi too, what a fraud. “There are a lot of misunderstandings about me.”
Ari made a bewildered expression.
“Gain. Put that hand down. “I know you’re smiling.”
Eunsol muttered with a fearful expression.
“I really don’t want to go to the movies… .”
*
I opened my mouth, trying to sound as elegant as possible.
“Can you please call me Song today?”
The crown prince, whose face was red, muttered cautiously.
“…Call me Joshua.”
What followed was interesting in its own way. This is because I started to think this crown prince was cute in his own way a while ago. The experience of walking around the streets, watching performances, and eating street food was quite enjoyable.
But slowly my head began to spin.
“There’s no way it’s going to go this smoothly… .”
“what?”
“no. Joe, shall we go to the center this time?”
“Isn’t the center a place where people dance? “I don’t really want to dance.”
Why does this kid hate so many things?
“Joe, I’m not asking you to dance, I’m just asking you to watch.”
And when we arrived at the heart of the city’s New Year’s festival, the central square where lovers gathered and danced, the crown prince and I were both speechless.
In the middle of the square there was a truly beautiful man and woman. So much so that I thought maybe they were the main couple in this world.
*
“and… ! “No, what is this development?”
Eunsol opened her mouth wide, while Ari nearby responded with a bewildered expression.
“It’s an interesting development. I’m glad I didn’t go in… .”
“Song, please! You’re awesome! “Please, please!”
Sang-hyeon, who was watching Ga-in’s earnest prayer nearby, felt himself laughing.
“I’m already curious about what the next movie will be like.”
*
In the square where beautiful music is heard, so many couples are spinning in circles that it is hard to see at a glance. And, ‘a certain couple’ seemed to have the light of the whole world gathered together.
The Duke of Pendleton, a handsome man with a tall figure and thick facial features.
Princess Evelyn, a girl with the beauty of a night goddess who captures the beauty of the night sky.
Their dance was so mysterious and noble that it felt like they were of different genres. There was someone who couldn’t purely admire this beautiful, truly movie-like scene.
I slowly turned my eyes to the side and looked at the timid boy.
The crown prince was standing, trembling, looking at the square with an expression as if he had been struck by lightning. Eyes, facial expressions, gestures. The storm of intense emotions felt from all of that could be felt without having to wear a bracelet. How on earth is he feeling right now?
…
It was difficult for me to imagine how it would feel to see my ‘ex-girlfriend’ dancing in the arms of the ‘most jealous man’.
At that time, Evelyn spotted us and approached us with a slight smile. Pendleton, who didn’t know whether he knew the situation or not, and if he didn’t know, was an idiot who didn’t know anything, and if he did know, he was an idiot who didn’t even know the word “life,” he came up to me, wandering.
“Oh my, I didn’t know you came to the festival too. Next to it… . “Who was it?”
