“Think whatever you want”
The answer to Yeonjun's question was cold. Yeonjun asked the woman's name with a sullen expression. The woman told him that her name was Princess Yeon. Yeonjun thought that the name suited her well. She was beautiful to everyone, like a princess.
“So when are you going back home?”
The smile disappeared from Yeonjun's face, which had been smiling at Jooyeon's question. Yeonjun was confused by the thought of returning home. Juyeon said this after seeing Yeonjun's face.
“If you want to stay here, you can stay.”
At those words, Yeonjun's face brightened again. Juyeon was now Yeonjun's savior. Yeonjun said he would do everything, including cleaning and cooking. Juyeon laughed as if it was funny, and Yeonjun was flustered and bewildered. Juyeon told Yeonjun to just make himself at home, and Yeonjun nodded and smiled bashfully.
Yeonjun called Jooyeon "Witch" and followed her around whenever she moved around, saying "Witch~". The two had never been apart since they met. Jooyeon was completely captivated by Yeonjun's cuteness and took even more care of Yeonjun.
At this point, you might be wondering if the protagonist is really a witch. To cut to the chase, she is not a witch. The protagonist was a princess of the northern kingdom. She lived her entire life oppressed in the castle and was the best queen candidate who valued her people more than anyone else.
Although she had never received any specific education on how to be a leader, she went to the library and read books to learn about the country, accumulated knowledge, and cultivated manners. In contrast, her older brother received the best education and was called the next king, but he was more concerned about his own interests than the people. The people naturally wanted Jooyeon to become queen, and her older brother, afraid that he would not inherit the throne, poisoned her.
God, who felt sorry for her who had lived a righteous life all her life but had to end her life in an instant, gave her eternal life and allowed her to live in a tower in the forest of a small village in the western land, a place she would never find in the northern land.
She was granted eternal life, but she lived a lonely life. It was at that time when Yeonjun came to the tower to find her. Juyeon seemed to have found a reason to live while taking care of Yeonjun. Yeonjun and Juyeon spent each day happily.
I wish the story had ended with, "And so Yeonjun and Jooyeon lived happily ever after," but their ending wasn't happy.
