[Contest] What's Hidden in the Night๐
Episode 11_His Past


(V's point of view)

๊ท์กฑ
The first prince becomes the emperor today?

๊ท์กฑ
He's the son of the Empress Dowager, but tsk tsk. Why would the royal family make a prince like that the emperor?

๊ท์กฑ
Rather, His Highness the Second Prince would be more suitable.

The nobles attending the coronation laughed in front and clicked their tongues behind him.

I ascended to the throne as emperor in place of my younger brother, who had asked me to do so with great trepidation.

I didn't want to hear them talking to each other without knowing anything.

I lay down in the backyard of the palace to catch my breath for a moment in that stuffy place.

The warm grass wrapped around him and made him feel better.

If only I could be this free...

He hated all the rumors and gossip that were being spread about him because he was the son of the Empress Dowager.

It wasn't that I was blaming my dead mother.

It was a resentment towards the title of โPrinceโ.

Because he was born a prince, he was talked about by nobles, commoners, and even imperial officials and the current empress.


๋ท ๋ธ๋ ์ดํฌ
Mumble-) In this case, it would be better to be a commoner.

As I was lamenting my fate alone, a gentle breeze suddenly blew and I quietly closed my eyes.


๋ง๋ฆฌ์๋ ํ๋ฅด์ค
Your Highness the First Prince..?

A pitiful woman's voice was heard from one side.

And when I turned my head, Mariana Persia was standing in the direction where the voice came from.

That meeting was already six years ago.

Gasp... gasp...

[A young man with a rather strong impression was engrossed in practicing swordsmanship.]

๋๋ฃ
Hey, Allen. Are you still practicing?

[He put away his sword at the call of his comrade and turned his head.]

[He was the man who had bumped into Liliane at the market last time.]

??
Nod-) Yeah... right, well.

๋๋ฃ
[I don't even know where His Highness the First Prince is... Now I have no one to protect, right?]

??
...I'll find it.

[He said solemnly.]

๋ฆด๋ฆฌ์๋ ๋ง์ผ
Hey!! V, where did you put mine?!?!

V was wearing a denim jacket that I really cherish.


๋ท ๋ธ๋ ์ดํฌ
I'm going to change this crappy thing???

๋ฆด๋ฆฌ์๋ ๋ง์ผ
What...? G, something fishy?!?!?!?

๋ฆด๋ฆฌ์๋ ๋ง์ผ
This kid...

๋ฆด๋ฆฌ์๋ ๋ง์ผ
This is my stuff so I'll take care of it!!!

๋ฆด๋ฆฌ์๋ ๋ง์ผ
You should go to sleep.. It's already 11 o'clock..

๋ฆด๋ฆฌ์๋ ๋ง์ผ
I'm going shopping!!!


๋ท ๋ธ๋ ์ดํฌ
Whoa, whoa. You must be so foolish...

๋ฆด๋ฆฌ์๋ ๋ง์ผ
Ahem-

[Lilianne, who was walking lightly through the general store, hummed a pleasant tune as she shopped.]

๋ฆด๋ฆฌ์๋ ๋ง์ผ
Wow, it's pretty. How much is this...

Huh?

Isn't that the guy I bumped into last time...?

The moment I raised my head, my eyes met with the man's.

It seems like it's coming towards me.

์๊ฐ

It's a very important role, guess who it is (one of BTS)๐

์๊ฐ
Oh, and...

์๊ฐ
I thought it was so weird that I wrote the prologue...ใ ใ ใ ใ

์๊ฐ
The prologue has the highest number of views right now, but I think it's getting cut off...๐
