章節 3: Meet Prince Roland

I was not sure how long I had passed out. When I woke up, I found myself on a big and comfortable king-sized bed.

(Ah, really comfortable ....) I thought while rolling on the bed until I finally noticed someone was besides me in this room.

I turned to look at that person with a creaking robotic style and then stopped frozen.

"I-I I ...." Just like a broken doll. I couldn't utter my words.

"Pufff ...." Roland wanted to laugh when he saw my silly behavior.

(How embarrassing.) I couldn't help but to feel that away.

"Say, who are you?" He asked me.

I blinked innocently and wanted to answer him but once again, an empty stomach picked this time to make itself known!

"Gggrrruuu~~~"

". . . . ."

I opened my mouth and couldn't close it when I heard this damned stomach!

There was some awkward silence between us until he finally couldn't hold back his laugh!

(Damn it, damn it, damn you stomach!)

"Hahahaha ...." He lightly chuckled at me before asking.

"Are you hungry?" He asked kindly.

Biting my dry lips, I just nodded with much embarrassment.

Smiling, he then called for his servant to ask the maid to bring some food for me.

I drowned upon seeing all of them. Honestly, that food didn't look that expensive or anything and tasted just ordinary for me. But for the currently poor orphan, body it was like exquisite treasure!

I wanted to rush to finish all of them but I tried to hold myself and look at him with my pitiful eyes. As if he understood what I mean, he smiled brilliantly and told me to just eat as much as I want without any restraint.

Then I devoured my food but of course, I was aware of my condition. I couldn't eat anything hard and heavy for now because of my long-time empty stomach. So I chose some things like soups and gruel.

And it looked like Roland noticed my act, so he asked his maid to bring another soft food for me.

After finishing my food, he asked my name once more.

Awkwardly trying to act as pitiful as possible I said ....

"I-I … I'm sorry your Majesty. I … I didn't have a name." I said while looking down.

Much to his surprise, it seemed like he didn't expect that answer.

"How can that be?" He asked in disbelief.

"I-I I'm an orphan and just wandering around. Sometimes I go with other orphan children or some peddlers that want to give me a job. I-I don't know about my parents and … the others said someone found me in the forest. The people that found me never give me a name."

Well, the story is not entirely a lie. Some of it really is from the memories of this body that I possessed.

"Hmm ...." He only responded as much.

Sweating, I almost scared myself to die when I looked at his expression.

(What? Don't tell me he didn't believe me?) I knew this Roland was not the "real" Roland. And he was much more smarter and sensitive than the real Roland himself.

"So how did you get in? And what are you doing here?"

I was sweating .... Cold sweat running down my back. (Shit! Can you be that ruthless to me?)

It was not a problem to answer what I'm doing here, but how did I get in? I couldn't say anything about that Secret path yet!

If I told him, that would change the future story about "the traitor who wants to burn grain"?!

I decided to just make another lie again. I said because I was too hungry and there was no food that I could get or eat I then chose to sneak on the food supplies cart. I thought I could get some food here. I really didn't have any other thoughts. I was just too hungry and wanted to eat. Then I squeezed out some crocodile tears.

Well, not really fake, actually I truly wanted to cry with my current condition! How nice of you to come here as a prince while I came here as a hungry orphan and beggar!

The difference was just like Heaven and Earth!

Even if Roland was smart, he just transmigrated here today and not too long so he won't find any fault.

He then let me stay in the castle and slept in this room. Of course, as someone who was currently a pitiful young boy, I needed to play my role to the finest. So I put my acting skill to full use!

"Your ... your Highness," I said while looking like a scared kitten.

"I ... I thought this, this is too much for me. I-I'm just an orphan and… dirty. My, my body is dirty. If I sleep here, it will get dirty and ... and ...."

(WTF! Why so many "dirty" words come up?! Why do I also think of the other meaning of "dirty" right here right now?! Stop it you perverted fujoshi brain!)

He realized about my current appearance and once again asked his servant to prepare the water for me to wash myself.

He then gave me some clothes. But because there was not enough time, he just gave me his own clothes. Honestly, I almost got nosebleeds fantasizing how wearing his clothes would look on my skinny body. It would be too big for me.

And yes! These clothes were indeed way too big! The shirt itself already enough to hide my small body. Then I remembered some manga and novel scenes where the uke looked extremely cute wearing his seme's big shirt. So I couldn't help myself but to think of it.

I then tried to look cute and sweet as much as possible in front of him.

He looked stunned before putting on a blank face and left.

(What? What does that mean? Is he not moved with my act?) I was confused with his indifferent reaction.

Sure enough, this body was too ugly and who would be interested or fall for this skinny pale young boy? My body was too unsightly to seduce the prince.

I needed to gain some weight here. (E/n : That body is still 14!! Not that I mind shota, but . . . Oh well, go on)
