Standing in the middle of the party venue, the Prince was gathering everyone’s attention.\n
I was able to breathe in such a ostentatious place because the Prince was drawing in the concentrated fire.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nWell, that’s how it is. I’m sure nobody wants to hear me.\n
Well. I contemplated a little. The answer when asked, “How do you feel, being awakened by the prince’s kiss?”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Something like, full of gratitude?”\n
I was talking to myself but the Prince deliberately turned towards me.\n
And so, many eyes turned towards me at the same time with the Prince.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Thomas. You look unwell”\n
The Prince quickly closed the distance between us to put his hand on my cheek, and the ladies around me screamed.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Fufu. Close friends as usual. But that’s only until tonight. Please try to have a good dream until it lasts!\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nIt’s the entrance of the Princess. But when I thought about it, it was more like sharp parting remarks, so I nervously looked around.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“What? The witch is !?”\n
The Princess looked very disgustingly at the table where the dishes were lined up.\n
The witch was emptying the dishes one after another with terrifying momentum. There are even spectators. It seems that she’s the type that is pleased with attention.\n
Looks like you’re getting carried away.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“… It seems that she will confirm the skills of the cooks in my castle!”\n
As expected, the smile of the Princess is also completely forced.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“It seems like it’ll take a while. I’ll go get some drinks.”\n
“Oh, Thomas!”\n
Before I was stopped by the Prince, I rushed away from him.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nI’ll get a drink, and next let’s assimilate with the wall. Until the witch finishes eating.\n
While I was staggering around thinking like that, a group of ladies walked in, laughing with fans in their hands.\n
If you collide with that, it will be a catastrophe.\n
I walked closer to the wall at a high speed.\n
Alright, let’s give up on the drink.\n
– wait what, don’t follow me people.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“How did you cozy up to the Prince?\n
I think I was being told something like that.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nThe pressure was so great that it took me a while to understand.\n
I didn’t know it was so scary to be surrounded by hostile women. I didn’t want to know!\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Ah, err… Maybe you weren’t aware? There was a guy who slept in the corner of the hall for about three years. That was me.”\n
“I’m aware!”\n
“Then why !?”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nI raised my voice.\n
Please do not surround. Don’t surround the mob!\n
As an unnamed mob in a crowd, I want to be the one who looks at the brilliant people from a distance!\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Hold on! The Prince is a very kind person. Even for someone like me, he was very kind! That’s all.”\n
“If you know, then quickly leave already!”\n
“?”\n
“It’s unsightly to take advantage of the Prince’s kindness forever!”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nThe Prince is just sympathetic, you don’t fit in this spot, and it’s not good for the Prince.\n
It’s all something I’ve been thinking about since I woke up. I was exposed to it all at once and before I knew, I had blocked my ears.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nTheir shrill voices reached the brain even when it was blocked.\n
I know. I know all that.\n
But the words that the Prince gave me were gradually accumulating in me, and starting to sprout a rebellion.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nBecause that person, he even kissed me. The first time may have been the means to an end. But the second time, what was that was about?\n
I’m not worthless. Is it possible to be so gentle with just the feeling of indebtedness?\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nThe words that went to my throat got stuck in the middle.\n
The Prince is cursed. The reality lay black in front of me.\n
I don’t want to think that all of the Prince’s words are due to the curse. But I just can’t seem to believe in them at the very end.\n
I looked down and bit my lower lip tightly.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Good grief. Why did the Prince awaken such a man?”\n
I raised my face.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“The Prince–, the Prince told me he didn’t regret waking me up! Don’t deny that. You can say anything about me, but that–!”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nBut. What if it that was also due to the curse?\n
In my heart, another me asked.\n
Oh, why I can’t be even sure about this.\n
And at this time, when I closed my eyes tightly.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nThe eyes that look worried about me, the hands that I can reach out to, everything looks sparkling. After all, in this castle, the only one who calls my name is the Prince.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Didn’t I tell you to not leave my side?”\n
He grabbed my arm with this remark.\n
That’s why the noble daughters around me are also noisy.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Like I said, this staging is too excessive!”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“I don’t want you to send flying that prince-like ingredient to me! I hate it! I’m at my limit! Witch!! Break the curse of the Prince already!”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nI shouted. I’ve never made such a loud voice in my whole life.\n
Because it’s too painful. If the curse is broken, maybe this charming prince will leave in front of me.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nIt’s an experience that is too much for mobs. It’s too stimulating. I think I’ve run out of luck for a lifetime.\n
From here on, it’s the rest of my life. It’s a empty shell.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nOh, maybe it suits me. Because in this country I’m already dead.\n
The Prince wrapped me up in his arms, as if to hide me.\n
“I have a runny nose!”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n I tried to bend backwards but the Prince mercilessly held down my head.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Thomas, I’m sorry. It’s a misunderstanding. I said I’d help break the curse, but I’m not the one who’s cursed. I knew it already. In the end, I’m being dishonest. I though that if I blamed the curse, that if I had that promise, I would get you. This feeling is not a curse. I like you Thomas. I want to take you back to my country. “\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“No, the way you say it! That way of saying is a little !!”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nMy shout may have been louder than when I called the witch earlier.\n
Sure enough this Prince is ridiculous. I withdrew my tears. And forcibly escaped from under his arms.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Listen here Prince! You can’t say that kind of thing easily! If I were a woman, maybe I would have already fallen in love !?”\n
“In other words, you haven’t yet.”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nHmm? It seems that I heard a disturbing muttering right now.\n
But before I asked about it, I heard the voice of the Princess. \n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“What do you mean? It’s not a curse…? Then who is the one cursed?”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Obviously it’s him. He’s the one who took the curse, so the effects are only on him.“\n
The witch came, licking sauce on the edge of her mouth.\n
It was me who she pointed the finger at while saying him.\n
Naturally I was pissed off, but the change of the Prince was more remarkable.\n
“Wha–“\n
Muttering, he quickly turned pale.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“W-well, you don’t have to solve it…”\n
She put a finger on my forehead and rotated it. It covered my eyes with a massive, flickering red light.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nOh, I remember this sight.\n
It’s the light that shone on me when I fell asleep instead of the Princess.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nThe red light eventually turns into a rose bud, and the flower blooms. When the petals falls, the magic is complete.\n
I sank into the spot, closed my eyes and waited for the flowers to disappear.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nI nervously opened my eyes with the Prince’s call.\n
Too close.\n
And it turned out…\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“What…? But it didn’t change? Still a beautiful appearance as usual !?”\n
“Thomas… really?”\n
“Oh. It didn’t change at all.”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nWell, it didn’t change, but can you stop holding my hand with such a feverish look? There are a lot of people here.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nThe witch laughed. Maybe it’s my imagination but doesn’t she looks drunk?\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Well, if it’s such a well-featured shape, it won’t change. It can’t be changed.”\n
“Then…”\n
“Oh yes! It was a meaningless curse. But it was a meaningful time, look!”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nOh, there’s steam rising from the Princess head. Her face is terrible. To the point that even the people around are recoiling.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nMy life may be in danger.\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\n“Prince, I have a request.”\n
“All right, you can say anything.”\n
“Can you take me out of this place for the time being?”\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-background-background-color has-background-color is-style-default">\nI showed a foolish and forced smile.\n
