Answer Me, My Prince

#15.

Dear Miss Cordelia Gray,

I was very rude last time.

I want to read a book again, can we meet this weekend?

I found a huge item that I'd like to show you.

6.13. Mark Laughlin.

You lucky girl. So when are you going to show Mark?

The smell of roses is soggy beyond the partition!

P.S. Why did you change your e-mail address? I thought you left secretly because of a failed shipment.

Juliet,

What do you mean.

Let's put aside our vulgar curiosity about Mark and have lunch together. Garrett's acting like you and I broke up in a relationship or something. All day long! I want to escape this atmosphere even during lunchtime. Yes?

P.S. And we're not supposed to meet Mark. We just exchanged e-mails once. Have you forgotten Liam?

Cordelia.

Liam didn't send you any flowers, did he?

Did he e-mail you? Did you call me?

I like the man who sends me a basket of roses.

Besides, he's the guy on TV. How's Mark in real life? Is he handsome?

Let's talk about the details at lunch. No, don't talk to either Mark or Liam before you go to bed. I won't burn my lunch with a guy who didn't sleep.

What do you think of the new sandwich place?

Dear Cordelia,

This is the first edition of "Lolita" with Nabokov's signature.

This is what I'd like to show you.

Do you know how much I want to apologize?

So make time for me on weekends. There's a place I want to take you to.

6.14. Gold. Mark Laughlin.

Mark Laughlin is also great. I didn't know he was this reckless on TV.

I think the flowers I sent today and yesterday alone will be over 200.

I'm starting to think that his main job was a flower shop.

Can I really take the rest of the roses? Aren't you going to reply, Cordelia?

Juliet, there's a thing called cesarean, where push and pull is so important...

No, let's have a beer after dinner. Tell me then.

Cordelia.

Are you there?

Archie Albert, the 14th day of the green moon.

* * *

Prince Archibald.

Yes, I'm here as always.

Do you miss me? I want to see the prince.

How good would it be if our magic box could put its hands in and give us a glass?

It's drizzling down here. It's raining because I feel like it's raining too little. If I just walk, my clothes get wet. I like this kind of rain. I wish I could get along with you.

P.S. I had a drink with Juliet and got a little drunk. Please forgive me if my handwriting gets crooked.

* * *

Coco makes us believe that writing and appearance are the opposite.

I'm relieved about your handwriting. It was always hard to recognize even when I wasn't drunk.

By the way, I found this today, and our bookstores do their job even if they change places. Actually, I wrote to you because I wanted to check it out. Oh, there's one more thing I want to check. Cordelia, do you have long hair? What color is it? What about your eyes? What exactly does your face look like?

adventurous arch Albert

P.S. What happened to all those guys in your life? Tell him I'm curious about the news.

P.S.: If it's still drizzling, don't forget to lock the windows so that your small room won't overflow.

* * *

A fearless arch,

And what if you don't exchange letters forever? What happened to you?

I fell asleep yesterday, so I couldn't even read your letter. I'm very sorry that I missed the opportunity to grumble timely in the wind.

At times like this, you really seem like a different person from me. I can't even carry the magic box from my desk to my bed. I might not be able to write to you because I changed the location a little.

Do I look too timid? But I like you that much. So, writing a letter with you like this.

Still it's a good thing. Now you can change your furniture layout (the bed will still be next to your desk) and move or go on a trip. Speaking of which, I think I'm going on a trip soon.

There's an unexpected change in my love life that you've been wondering about. To give you a quick report, a man named Mark has been working for days and has been making his house all dyed with roses. My attention has been focused on Liam, but I couldn't refuse the offer to go see an ancient book collector in Edinburgh over the weekend. It's going to be full of first editions of novels that I'

Maybe Mark and I get along better than a guy like Liam who looks like a mirage. Liam still hasn't heard anything. In a way, it's obvious. He doesn't know my phone number, not to mention my email address.

But you know my address. If he really wants to do it, shouldn't he show some gestures to hold hundreds of flowers like Mark? Juliet says men don't confuse the woman they like!

But I can't completely believe what Juliet says.

Juliet says, "After reading 'He's not in love with you,' 'That's proof that he's not in love with you, throw it away!'

Besides, I'm already going on a trip with Mark next week, and he's already making a fuss about buying me underwear. I've hinted to Mark that I'll be back for a day, but if Juliet doesn't sleep there, he's a stone and I'm a complete idiot. What do you think?

No, don't tell me. I'm sure you'll be as excited as Juliet. You don't have to pick out my underwear.

Anyway, the reason why I was so drunk yesterday was because I was talking about this with Juliet. I was drunk and said it, but I wish our magic box could have put our hands in and shake hands. Sometimes you need to have a face-to-face conversation with a living person.

But Archie, don't be too jealous. Still, I prefer the time when I talk with you hurtfully rather than with Juliet.

So go ahead and tell me. So where have you gone now with our magic box, you rash prince?

6.14. Dinner. timid Cordelia.

P.S. Now you're wondering what I look like?

* * *

Cordelia, the drunkard.

I thought I was going to be jealous of Juliet. If you're jealous, it's not Juliet but Mark. Anyway, I don't want to pick out your underwear, so feel safe. For some reason, today's letter smells more like alcohol than yesterday. But it's good that your handwriting, which is so excited, is smeared with excitement.

But isn't Mark too reckless? I don't like it very much.(The previous talk of jealousy was a joke. Jealousy and everything else, I don't like it purely and objectively.)

It was the same last time I kissed. I didn't tell you more, but... Oh, my God, how can you kiss without asking?

But I agree with Juliet's statement that men don't confuse the woman they like. Human emotions are hard to hide. A person who really likes me can tell just by looking into his eyes.

Well, if I were Liam, I wouldn't have sent you a mountain of flowers without knowing anything or stormed into your house knowing your address. Well, shouldn't love be more whispering and confessing in a small voice?

Of course, some people would prefer to stand on a big street and shout "I love you" in front of everyone, but I would just slowly get to know you.

Did Mark ask what your favorite food is? What is your favorite book? Do you know that you like the drizzling rain?

I believe that the feeling of love is what you want to know from one to ten. I love the days when I fall asleep while keeping the excitement, even after talking all night. It's not until it's ripe that I finally confess my love, and I love those moments. Millions of flowers come next. So I disagree with Mark!

...just kidding, Cordelia. I just wanted to pretend to be your big brother.

Archie Albert William Rendike, who pretends to be an expert with Juliet today.

P.S. What you look like...It's because I need something. Tell me quickly. As detailed as possible.

Urgent Big Brother Arch

* * *

Dear Prince.

If you have to know so much about me to confess, Archy, no one but you will get a chance to confess.

Anyway, I'll accept your love advice in bold handwriting. When you talk about love, you look the most lively, so maybe the job that suits you best is dating counseling.

You must have been so excited that you forgot what I asked you because you were acting like my big brother.

So where are you now? Fool, Arch.

I was just imagining for a second...

Prince, are you spending your summer vacation with Daphne and the Eloises at the countryside villa?

Daphne grabbed the prince and asked him where he was going these days and how he was so uptight every night. The prince burst into a cheerful laugh and said, "I'm writing to a woman these days."

Daphne would have asked with those cute lips.

"Who took so much of your time? Are you prettier than me, Arch?'

The prince was dying there. You didn't even know what I looked like! That's why you're finally asking me a late question. Hurry up and say yes. It's so much fun to imagine things like this.

Triangle Mania Cordelia Olim.

P.S. Am I jealous of Daphne? Of course, of course. Jealousy is the most interesting emotion in the world.

* * *

To Miss Cordelia, who is in the midst of imagination.

I'm sorry to break your expectations,

I swear I'm not.

I'm a classic when it comes to dating.

Before I send you a bunch of flowers, I need to know what I like best.

You have to ask if you can do it before you kiss.

So you won't be talking about what you look like in front of other women.

A little scary girl named Noel is staring at me in front of me. So if you want to be jealous, do it to Noel, not Daphne, whose face is blurry.

Your faithful friend, Archy Albert.

P.S. I'm almost threatened with life.

a review of one's

Dear readers who enjoyed reading it.

Yes, Garrett's e-mail failure was not due to Cordelia's shift, but just because she changed her e-mail address.I'm sorry if I disappointed you, but I'll see you someday. The keyword is romance.

P.S. Thank you very much! It looks like I'm using it mechanically, but whenever I use it, I look up at the sky and feel thankful and cry.
