Answer Me, My Prince

#22.

Dear my bright friend Cordelia.

Of course, I went and asked what kind of secret words Florian whispered in Cecil's ear the next day.

What did he say to you to tell you not to call a healer?

What kind of conversation did you have on that day?

What kind of story did you hear that you've been covering yourself up since that day?

..I wanted to ask, but Cecil simply said, "I like short words."

"Are you crazy?"

The answer is back here.

"Get out."

Still, I persistently strangled Cecil like a puppy with his pants in its mouth.

So I asked him like this.

"Are you crazy, Cecil?"

However, the following answers were:

"Get out of here, Arch. You short-lived."

When I looked embarrassed by the sudden insult to my personality and intelligence, Cecil added, "Do you want to insult me more?"

"What did you learn about every royal event and everything, reading books and meeting girls? You're such a pathetic guy.”

What hurt me even more was the face of Cecil, who spoke such abusive language and smiled kindly at Florian.

"Get some rest, you don't have to be scared."

At this point, I'd like to doubt whether Cecil and I are real brothers or sisters, but the blond and blue eyes we share, like a certificate of bloodline, are squeezing me.

It's still unclear what happened to Cecil a few days later.

Now that I think about it, Coco, I think it might help a little, but I don't want to interrupt your love life.

I'll be reading your book "Hamlet" for a few days and spending the evening in the writing room, so please come back and reply, my dear friend.

If you know how much I depend on you, you might suddenly feel heavy on your shoulders.

In the confusion, your arch

To Coco who is having a sweet time unlike me.

You are always lovely, but when you give me a book like this, I really feel like going through a box and throwing a thousand kisses. It's a strange thing. How can you always give me a book that suits me so timely?

Is it written in Anne Celine's manuscript that 'Prince Archibald at this time begins to agonize more than to die or live like a distant Prince Hamlet?'

Actually, I've been having quite a bit of a headache lately. I threw the tangled thread on my desk, and I said I didn't want to solve it anymore, but I kept looking at it.

It is a great pleasure to meet a friend who is agonizing with him at a time like this. It makes me think that I was not the only one in the world who was like me.

It's all the more comforting to see the friend be indecisive enough to embrace a much more serious problem than I am.(Yes, Prince Hamlet is a bit pathetic. That's why it's more human.)

You know I'm not as good as you think I am, right?

Of course it was the Florian son of Princess Edwina who made me do this.

These days, I'm constantly in confrontation with Cecil because of Florian.

Looking on the bright side, I don't think it'll ever happen that Cecil, who was so worried at first, is trying to kill a red-haired boy. It's like that today.

Today is Cecil's first day to teach swordsmanship with Florian.

Florian seems to have borrowed Cecil's chain armor, which is much taller than Cecil, and since he's just skinny without any muscles, it's cute to see him loose.

I went out to the smokestack to observe him carefully, as you recommended, and watched them perform swordsmanship. But this isn't a sword drill, it's almost a love affair. Cecil used to put me on the ground whenever he had time to compete with me, but I was jealous of her because she smiled and looked at my sister with her eyes glaring at her every time she said something.

It's very strange. I've never been jealous of Cecil because he was close to anyone. Anyway, I would have watched them for about two hours, but when the training was over and her pale face was red and her hair was dripping with sweat, I went to pour water on her.

Sometimes, in this hot summer, Cecil barks at me and tells me to bring water if I don't do anything.

So I tried to pour water on it as usual, but Cecil pushed me hard.

Then the water fell on the ground, and what else surprised Florian was screaming and falling on the ground as if she had seen a gruesome insect. Cecil approached him quickly and asked if he was okay, shook his butt, looked at his palm, and there was no such thing as Yunnan.

No, no matter how close a swordsmanship teacher is to a student, isn't it too much to shake off a grown boy's butt? I couldn't see it, so I approached him and said I would do it for him.

But he seems to have some kind of hate for me, and he's walking backward in a game. Cecil looked at me and said, "Go away, Archy. You pathetic bastard!" he screams.

Coco, I've never been treated like this in my life. As you once said, I was born with luck. I know. So he was always kind to me, male or female. I also tried to return the kindness to them.

You can't do me for pity's sake like Cecil, but I suddenly had a deep skepticism about my life. I don't know much about him, but he dropped his shirt from the window. So I tried to be nicer to others.

I felt sorry that he didn't have a single chain armor, so I tried to match his clothes, but he freaked out and avoided me.

I thought it would be much hotter than in the woods, so I took him to a lake where only the Winserton family could enjoy, and I tried to enjoy swimming, and he also shook his head and said, "No." What is that?

But it's going to be fun. When I held her hand and said, "Princess Cecilia!" She was shaking and calling my sister. You know what? I said this again.

"Get out of here, Archy. You pathetic bastard."

Now I'm confused whether my name is Arch Albert William or not and if Archie is a pathetic bastard. The problem is, I don't hate this guy anymore. I don't hate to see you scream and run away, and then come up to the writing room where you and I have a magic box, and I have a magic box.

I'm just curious. My reason is to keep digging into her secret, and on the other side I tell her to just, get her heart out. Edmund, the leader of the army standing next to me, adds up with a smirk.

"Prince, admit quickly that not everyone can love you. Including me."

Yes, Cordelia. It may sound bad, but I've never been so hated by anyone but Cecil!

on the last day of the early green moon

An arch hated by three people in total.

* * *

My pathetic prince.

You've always told me I'm a bright friend of mine, right?

But I know that the words that make me feel proud.

You're a lot smarter than me.

Yes, I know. This is a moment when I feel a little suspicious of that fact.

I know exactly what's going on just by looking at your letter instead of going to Anne Celine's manuscript, why don't you know the prince?

It's not fun to tell you right away, so I'll just keep my mouth shut and watch the most pathetic moments of your life, Archie.

Please write me often. Don't forget everything you're doing with Florian and tell me.

On the last day of the green moon,

Cordelia believes that friends should sometimes have a taste to tease each other.

P.S. The trip with Liam was fun unlike Mark. "As soon as I saw Hamlet, he asked me. "What was your favorite scene?" I said, instead of answering right away, let's talk on the count of three. Of course, we chose the same scene. Instead of keeping it a secret between me and Liam, I'll send you a line of Hamlet's lines again. "There are times when you have to keep your mouth shut even if your heart is broken."

Yes, that's how I feel right now! Try and find the answer myself, my keen arches.

Dear my dear adviser, Miss Cordelia.

Well, I'm afraid of the streets, so I call it this.

Instead of relying on our friendship, I'm afraid you'll listen to my request if I ask you in a businesslike manner.

What is Florian's secret that you noticed?

Today I ended up making her cry.

Things were going well until yesterday.

What's amazing about her is that she follows me around every day. Just like Noel was young, he said, "Prince Archie, Prince Archie". But I can't be so nice except when I'm scared and avoid myself.

Even when I teach or talk about something very trivial, she says this with her green eyes shining.

"Prince Arch, I really wanted to do this with you. It's like a dream.’

It's just a garden guide, feed my horse Sherlock, and drink tea, but he looks so happy.

Sometimes when I see him like that, my heart goes to sleep for no reason. Just like when I see a tiny little puppy whining, I feel like I'm the whole world.

I was going to write a letter to you by observing Florian in such a good mood today.

I promised to teach you how to dance from today. We came out of the palace and rode the horse a little far away, as the weather was too hot.

On the way to the forest opposite the monastery, there is a small cave where cool winds blow even in the middle of summer, sometimes chilling the spine.

The wind blew into the still cave that no one knew. Standing there, he and I danced together for a long time. As you know, Coco, I was the perfect dance teacher for Florian because Cecil and the steps I learned in the bridal class were women's.

But when I asked her to take a male step to play the role of a woman, she said it was okay and she said she would learn the female step. The last time I asked Cecil to teach me how to use a sword, he's a good guy who doesn't have to be stubborn.

I held Florian's hand for a long time and taught her how to dance. When green eyes capture leaves outside the cave, I felt that the whole world was green, and it was so pretty.

Cordelia, would your green eyes be filled with this spotless green? As I was curious about those things, I found myself smiling.

After an hour or two, there was a sudden downpour outside. I waited for a long time thinking it was a passing rain, but it was getting dim outside and the heavy rain was endless.

I checked the condition of Florian with a sidelong glance at the coldness that came over my chilly body. He was wearing a light white shirt and he was so skinny that he must have been much more sensitive to the cold than I was.

"Are you cold?"

"It's all right."

After that polite conversation, I quickly hugged her because I thought her body was shaking.

She struggled for a moment like a cat that was misplaced by her owner, and then she calmed down.

"I know you're not a man who hates to hug, Florian."

When I said this, Florian stared at me silently and suddenly more came in. Like a lamb digging its mother.

Cordelia, you might be smiling, but I couldn't help it. There was a chill hanging over the cave that would otherwise catch a cold.

Maybe he's been around for so long, but he started talking to me first.

"Let's go now, Prince. The rain won't stop. It'll get dark if we wait any longer.”

Coco, as you said, I'm not actually a fool, so I've also worked hard to deduce by observing Florian.

When she tried to pour water on it, and when she tried to get into the lake, she was scared and backed away.

There must be something you want to hide, and it was my conclusion that it was about water.

So I asked carefully if I could do that.

She looked at me as if she wanted to see what I was thinking and nodded.

"Yes, Prince. Just ride a horse and run. And don't look at me when you stop at Arli Palace."

I just said yes, thinking, "Is there really a dark magic that comes out when you get hit by water?" Florian's expression was quite determined to say that.

So we rode on horseback in the rain. Florian sincerely accepted the order to hug me tightly because she thought I would slip on the rain, and my back was never cold.

After arriving at the palace so safely, I didn't see him as I promised.

He just walked in and heard the sound of him entering his room.

The day seemed to end without any problems. But the next day, I heard my new full name again. Yes, Cecil came and scolded me.

"You poor wretch."

by saying that... When I asked him what's wrong with me today, Cecil said, "Why did you take the weak guy far away in the rain?"

When I realized it was about Florian and asked how I knew she was weak or strong, Cecil stuttered a little and said, "You don't know when you see her." And I call my name again.

"Get out of here, you pathetic bastard."

"... Cecil, this is my room."

Cecil's face turned red, and he yelled at me again.

"Still, get lost, you pathetic bastard."

Thinking that I should develop my sister's creativity in cursing, I came out of my room as I wanted like a good brother. When I saw the rain that was still falling, I thought of Florian, who was shivering with rain.

I thought I'd check to see if he was okay and went to his room.

Sure enough, the girl who wasn't even attached to it was asleep, soaked in sweat.

My forehead was like a ball of fire and the clothes I was wearing were already damp. I thought I should change into something soft and put a wet towel on it, so I tried to put her shirt up.

But she does that.

"Please don't. Archie, why are you bothering me so much?”

...that's what he said in tears.

I just closed the door quietly. I went back to Cecil and explained the situation, and I got him a wet towel, and I gave him a spell of healing.

That's all, Cordelia.

Why does Florian hate me so much?

What did I do wrong?

The sick child is watching me crying, so why does it hurt my heart so much?

Cordelia, please answer.

The first day of the first ten months,

Your friend who's a little lonely, Archy.

a review of one's

Dear readers.

You're looking at the draft of a scratch completed a minute ago...

Even if you are poor at editing, don't blame the author with dark eyes. Thank you for pointing out the typos and errors.

I hope you don't call me "get lost," you pathetic bastard.

P.S. Thank you so much for your selection, recommendation and comments.

P.S.: It's finally July. Another name for July is the elementary ten months, and it's sad to say it a day after the elementary ten months. I hope all of you will be the beginning of a good month of fruit moon!
