章節 24: The Prince and the Princess
"Thank you, I will take care of it."
Alicia spoke as she hugged the large teddy bear.
"Good thing that you like it."
He is sweating not because of the difficulty of the game, but because of the tension she created while he was playing before.
Thankfully, everything went smoothly and nothing awful occurred to him.
"Woah!—"
Alicia suddenly drew him to a public theatre.
It was obvious what she wanted, so he chose to watch alongside her.
They find a seat and buy some pop corn from the man selling food here.
…
The play revolves around the prince and princess.
The siblings fall in love with one other, but because they are related by blood, they resolve to suppress their emotions by not confessing.
Later, the monarch died, and the prince succeeded as the new king.
A battle is raging between the countries, but the enemy nation wishes to end the conflict, so they make a peace offering by marrying their princess to him.
The king is apprehensive because he loves his sister, so he decided to speak with her.
However, the king's sister refused to speak with him since she did not want to be selfish to her country and reveal her feelings about him.
Finally, the king married the princess of the rival nation, and the conflict was over.
Later years, both the monarch and his sister grew older.
The narrator of the play informs the audience that the queen died a few years ago from an unknown disease.
His son is at legal age to inherit the throne, so he hands it on to him and steps down as king.
Despite his newfound love for the queen, the king could not forget his first love.
He takes one final look around his office knowing this is the last time he will be here.
However, while looking around, he unexpectedly collides with a vase.
This vase is his father's favorite, and it has already been broken into bits.
He felt bad about it, but he couldn't turn back time.
He wanted to call a servant, but his voice didn't come out right away because he spotted a letter on it.
He takes the letter, waves it to remove some vase bits, and begins to read it.
At this point, he discovered a significant secret.
He and his sister aren't related by blood.
His step-mother, the queen, betrayed his father while he was away.
His sister's father serves as the queen's knight guardian.
However, he chose not to inform the public because the conflict is ongoing and he does not want to see a civil war.
After realizing this information, he promptly takes the letter with him and summons a carriage to leave the palace.
On the day of his wedding, his sister decided to reside on a mountain near the seashore.
They have a mansion, and his sister begins to reside there with a few guards and servants.
When he arrived, the guards let him into the mansion.
The princess was gazing away from the balcony when he heard a familiar voice behind her.
The princess quickly stood up and bowed.
However, he stops her because he is no longer the king.
Then he allowed her to read the letter.
Her tears couldn't hold back since it was too late.
She hasn't fallen in love with a man in years, so she doesn't have a husband or lover, but that doesn't mean of why it's too late.
She learned from a doctor that she only had a few years to live.
The king—no, he is now the prince, and the princess falls in love with him.
She wiped the prince's tears.
He looked at her and knew it wasn't too late.
"We can start over. We are no longer bound by our responsibilities as royalty.
"You are right."
"We can travel around the world. Not as siblings, but as husband and wife."
The princess laughed and said, "You did not even express your feelings, so how did you become my husband?"
"I love you."
The prince spoke and the princess face turn red.
"You… you're too much but I love you too."
As the curtain closes, the prince and princess kiss.
The end.
…
As the crowd claps, Alex wakes up and joins in.
Yikes! What an asshol—
*cough
Ehem…
Sorry for letting out my inner feelings.
Let us proceed.
…
As the crowd claps, Alex wakes up and joins in.
He still has drool on his mouth, which he wipes away when he notices it.
Meanwhile, Alicia wipes her tears on her eyes.
Alex has no idea why she sobbed, but he inquired about it.
"Is anything wrong?"
"Nothing… I just cried because the story is beautiful."
"I see… yeah… it's beautiful."
He looks aside, ashamed that he doesn't understand what she's crying about.
Fortunately, people were beginning to leave the public theatre, so he invited her.
"Let's go, Su might still waiting for us."
"Yes, please take care of her. I don't want you to fall for someone, but if you do, I'm fine with it."
Widening his eyes, he wonders why she phrased it that way.
"Huh? What are you talking about —
He remembers what she said to Su Yan earlier.
…
"Hey Su, I'm going on a date with my brother today, so why not rest for a moment or go by yourself. Don't worry; after this, it will be your turn."
…
"Then I am going on an hour-long date with my brother. After an hour, you will trade with me and go on a date with him."
…
"I know Su better than herself, therefore she'll wait for us. Let's go!"
She then pulls him.
"Wait a minute, sister!"
But she didn't listen and kept pulling him.
…
"Why am I with you?""
"I don't know either."
Su Yan and Alex Hambell sigh together as they go down the street.
'Although we've grown closer, we're still not at the point where we can communicate without my sister!'
Alex pondered as he looked around.
After all, if he can't think of an escape to this awkward atmosphere between them, his first date in another world may finish painfully early.
Okay, his date with his sister isn't counted.
So let's not discuss it and let him show us what he'll do next.
Opening a discussion is the best thing to do right now, but he's not sure what to talk about.
Eating is too early right now.
Watching a play again?
He had already finished with his sister, but he didn't want to do it and he fell asleep again.
"This would not work! Let's go back."
Su Yan spoke decisively, but he interrupted her and added, "Wait!"
He couldn't think of anything to pique her attention on this occasion, but he chose to go his way.
After all, this was his precious first date in another world, and it needed to go well.
