Answer Me, My Prince

#39.

The green eyes of the princess, who looked like a lampstand and a rust mano, shot the Prince of Liner with a fierce glow. Prince Rainer looked as perplexed as a dog being scolded.

"Well, what."

"How did you know that I like white grapes?”

"That's what you said every time you gave me white grapes.”

"No, I didn't. You knew it before you said yes."

"You eat grapes well, Edwina."

"Rainer Selene von Roitlingen, Prince."

"Why, why do you call me that?”

"That's not what you just said. You stupid bastard. You said you memorized it. I heard you repeated the same thing. You said it was hard! What the hell did you do? What are you talking about?"

"It's Edwina, so in an empire like ours, we're collecting information about the Winserton...”

"Don't play tricks on me. You think I'm stupid like you? You think I don't even know that you're in a position where you can't even touch it if you've been collecting information about Roitlingen?

That was the right story.

However, even if it was true, no one would dare say that to the prince's own face. And it wasn't all that the princess, who came as a pawn in the defeated country, had to say.

But the prince, funny enough, was so overwhelmed by the princess' spirit that he didn't even think about pointing it out.

"Tell me the truth, what did you do?"

"...you know, it's Edwina. Because you know... That's what you're saying. Yeah, you've always been smart. I know."

It was Princess Edwina who first caught Prince Liner, who muttered and trembled like that.

I stood face to face with a thin body, but I thought he was taller than I thought, and he was a really nice person with a slender figure. It was such a shame for me to see her shaking in front of the little princess.

The princess stood there for a long time, sighed, and now instead of screaming, she spoke quietly, soothingly.

"Liner von Roitlingen. Thank you for your hard work in serving grapes and peaches for 100 days. You're a little slow-witted, but I think you're kind.”

"...really?"

"Yes, I like you a little bit."

"Me?"

"Yeah, I think he's a good guy. I'm asking because I don't want you to guess. Say it with your own mouth. What you've done."

"He, I mean, I'm Edwina.”

"Don't be nervous and tell me.”

As if it were a magic spell, Prince Liner quickly answered.

"I've repeated this scene dozens of times, Edwina. You always kicked me out and said you'd never see me again."

"How did you repeat that? By turning back the time you told me about before and what to do you mean?

"Yes."

"Why did you do that?"

"You..."

Prince Liner bowed his head like a sinner and was at a loss what to do. There was a golden silence. Forever, he held his hand tight as if he couldn't say anything and stood still until his pretty face turned red. It was a pitiful sight to watch from the side. So I poked her in the ribs. And I whispered, 'Anne, stop bothering me' like I was a child.

"I, I, I... It's Edwina, and I'm going to... "

Princess Edwina took over the words that could not go any further, which seemed to linger for the rest of her life.

"Because you like me?"

Only then did Prince Liner raise his head.

He drooped his shoulders to the point where he looked small, and he just nodded, shedding tears in his sparkling eyes as if he had hit a star.

"Liner von Roitlingen. Did you like me and want to be friends with me?”

From the beautiful eyes, tears came out endlessly. What's so sad is that she's sobbing like a crying child and just nodding her head. Princess Edwina laughed and said,

"To be friends with me, did you turn back time?”

"Yes, it was."

"Are you taking the time to find out that I like white grapes?”

He replied, regrettably, with tears in his eyes without a proper sob.

"Edwina, sometimes you're dead."

"Dead? Why would I die?”

"he's telling me right now... When I told my father... So I'm not saying it's wrong."

"So, did you save him because he died?”

"Yes, that was the beginning. But I had to start living again at the age of 13. I had to get hit by my brother. Do you know how painful I was? But it was fun to think that I'd see you again? But you came back and said you hated me. So I turned it back. ”

As I said that, I felt a little courageous, so the liner wiped away my tears and spoke in a clearer voice. Princess Edwina sighed and asked.

"How far did you go back then?”

"Fortunately, not much went back then. But you said you hated me again. I repeated it five times and then he told me that you like white grapes. I knew when I was in the 10th, and, um, you know, your favorite Arthur Gillan book was only last time I learned it."

"You didn't learn how to please me, did you?”

"Well, I mean, ah...I thought you learned this much."

It was when I was about to giggle because it was funny that he knew that his anger had subsided and quickly returned to his old childlike way of speaking. Princess Edwina dropped the white grape basket on the table with a thud.

"Rainer."

"Uh, huh?"

"I want to throw this in your face now. But I held it in. Do you know why?"

"My, do you think I'll tell my father?"

"No, you can't say anything to your father. And if you're a father who goes in and out of here in that pose, I don't think you'll even blink at throwing some grapes."

Prince Liner nodded as if he was right, and said:

"Well, then because my face is so pretty?"

I almost nodded because she was more beautiful than Edwin or Princess. But Princess Edwina kept staring at the Liner.

"I didn't throw grapes on the floor because you, who don't know what to do with drugs, bring a piece of fruit that's neither potato nor bread, nor a piece of fruit that won't fill our stomach, and we appreciate it. This is because more than 50 people who want to put this in their mouths are reading a boat behind this door.”

"It's Edwina.”

"We've been starving for 1,700 days while you stupid four go 17 times in 100 days. But you've been thinking about me. Without a single head to see what we look like.”

"That's, I'm really sorry. Edwina, I'll get the potatoes.

"Yeah, I didn't throw grapes on the floor because I'm looking at you. But you're the only one who can feed us, so we have to watch you."

I think it was at that time that Prince Liner raised his head and protested as if he was unfair.

"Who in the world sees things so scary?”

By then, I couldn't hold back my laughter and burst out laughing. Princess Edwina stared at me, but I couldn't help laughing once. I was also old enough to laugh at the drop of a leaf. .

As if I had gained a cheerleading squad from my laughter, Prince Liner's words grew louder.

"And kid, that's not how it works. Look out there. Where did they go through 1,700 days? Actually, you don't remember your previous life, do you? But it's too much to blame me, Edwina."

"Then blame anyone but you who knows how to turn the clock and is stupid enough to do this."

"Well, you don't know when you're going back? So I tried to help you if it worked out.”

"I heard you're good at magic. Why such a thing?"

"No, I'll just have to do it. So didn't I tell you last time to help you because I did well?”

That's how Prince Liner and Princess Edwina had their first sincere conversation. Perhaps you've had 17 more of these conversations in your head before, but I'm very curious about all those memories, but our Princess Edwina, like a woman, never asked anything.

Instead, he embarrassed Prince Liner by asking this question.

"But why the hell do you like me? There aren't that many women in Roitling? Do you like the princess of the enemy? Am I that pretty to your eyes?"

"If you like pretty things, you look in the mirror, Edwina."

That was a story for any woman, but Princess Edwina nodded gently.

"That's right. You look prettier than I do. I think she's the prettiest person I've ever seen.”

When he said so, and broke Prince Liner's light blond hair with a small hand, his handsome face turned red.

Either way or not, my princess kept asking.

"Then it's not pretty, but she liked me for something."

"No, it's Edwina. I'm not saying you're not pretty. Is there anything in my eyes prettier than you?"

"Be quiet and ask questions.”

It was the first time we've heard of the reason why I like the princess that the Prince Liner mentioned after being criticized so much.

The story of when he first met Princess Edwina in his first life, so before he repeated 17 times in his real life.

At that time, when Princess Edwina arrived at Roitlingen, Prince Liner was severely beaten by the First Prince, and the procession of Winserton, who came to serve as a pawn, was being severely scolded in front of the emperor of Roitlingen.

On that day, Roy Tlingen's queen was not there because she was about to give birth, so the Emperor was venting his anger on my second son.

Prince Liner, who was so reproached that it was embarrassing to open his eyes in front of all the gods, must have made a mistake in what he said and caused the emperor's anger to grow bigger.

The emperor kicked the liner, turned my sword back and struck it down, regardless of what anyone saw, and he said at some point he just thought, "I'm going to die here."

Everyone couldn't say a word and watched the emperor try to kill his second son, and our Princess Edwina suddenly burst into laughter.

The Emperor, who was fully charged, would have raised his head and put the flame of anger on the princess.

"Why are you laughing now?"

Then the prince, who had time to rest, would have wiped the blood from his forehead and looked at the princess with his invisible eyes. And my princess, curiously, answered like this.

"I laughed to the extent that you humiliated my son in front of the princess of the enemy, and it would be no big deal to be the emperor of the Roitlingen Empire."

Upon hearing the story, Princess Edwina asked with her big green eyes wide open.

"How about me?

"Yes, it's Edwina. You did it. My father must have been a disgrace, right?”

"So what happened?”

"No matter what happens, you died that day."

Prince Liner replied, as if he couldn't be so miserable when he thought about that time, he was in tears again.

"You dare kill the Princess of Windsorton?"

"Is there anything you can't do? I dare to speak ill of the Emperor."

"...that's why you turned the clock?”

"Yes, I was sorry at first, and I appreciate it later.Again, again, right now..."

As Prince Liner hesitated, Princess Edwina smiled and responded.

"You like me now."

"You don't say that without being ashamed? The girl."

"A girl?"

"Oh, yeah. You told me not to say this. No, it's good for a girl to say that. I mean, I'm just shy to see you do that without being so shy."

Princess Edwina grinned at the face of Prince Liner, who was angry at me. And he took a basket of grapes and hit me to bring me a potato. Prince Liner was just getting beaten up. It looked so much fun.

"I'll do a good job, Edwina. Believe me, eh?"

"What are you good at? Bring lots of potatoes. Oh, you can't bring me meat, can you?"

"I can't guarantee the meat. But I'll do well, and I'll return you to Windsorton. I'll save you. Like you saved me."

"Who's going to save anyone with this kind of insubordination?"

"From now on, I'll eat a lot of bread and potatoes."

"If you have a lot to eat, just bring it here."

"Okay, I'll have some bread and bring it all here.”

"What's there in Loytlingen that the prince has to save bread to leave some here?”

"Yeah, funny. It's Edwina. I don't know what my father thinks of me, right?

"You're all funny."

Even though she said so, Princess Edwina was smiling as if she had been infected by the smile of Prince Rainer.

As I wrote this letter, I think the two of them were people who I would get to know one day, even if Prince Liner didn't make that effort.

The unloved and the older, they recognize themselves as their own.

When Princess Edwina had just arrived in the Empire, she could not bear to see Prince Liner hit, and she turned her time to save Princess Edwina, who had never talked to her, because they recognized each other from the beginning.

Now, Duke Florian,

And Prince Archibald, who must be peeping at this letter before anyone else,

Are your questions a little relieved now?

So, Princess Edwin and the knight Arthur Gillan met.

The night became dark while we were talking about a long story.

It's hard for older people to sit in front of their desks. Unless you're as clean as Sergeant Vader.

You've both learned that you're not asking questions to old, lonely souls, are you? It has been my life to grab a bundle of stories to tell and look forward to seeing who will ask.

But if you'd like to hear more, I hope Noel comes to get a letter next time.

The time when I was eating the horse-shaped cinnamon roll she made, I think it was a very valuable time for me, just like when Princess Edwina and Prince Rainer were eating white grapes.

Delivering love to everyone, Lady Josephine.

a review of one's

Dear readers.

Have your readers been able to answer their questions? Commenting on my old lonely soul ㅠㅠ I had to grab a bundle of annuals. A liner that makes our arch look mature, not pathetic, but mature. I hope you don't hate it too much. Now that we're past Edwina and Rainer's story, we're going to run to the end, so please look forward to that piece of cake.

Since it's a late hour, I want to be a white grape, not your bread.

P.S.: Beautiful cover ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ The moon hidden in the clouds made it and sent it to me. Thank you very much.ㅠㅠ I've never received anything like this before. Green goes well with summer, doesn't it?

P.S. 2: Thank you so much, Sen98, I.D. for your sponsorship coupon. Thank you for the selection, recommendation, and warm comments. Have a good night.
