The princess is no longer here.

16: The princess is no longer here.

Feeling an inexplicable pounding in my chest, I hurriedly ran away.

"Ugh.."

That interesting book that comes to mind after running away.

레일라 image

레일라

"I wanted to read it..."

Although I felt a little disappointed, I decided that there was nothing I could do and decided to wander around the library some more.

"When will Daniel come - "

After wandering around here and there, I found a book I liked - though not as much as the one from before - and walked to an empty seat with the book in my arms.

***

How long had it been? As I was turning the last page of a book that was easily several hundred pages long, I heard a voice behind me.

???

"Rustle-"

But I was so focused that I didn't hear the sound and was just reading the book.

"Lera-?"

Where did Daniel's voice come from...

The moment I read the last sentence and closed the book and was about to stand up•••!

레일라 image

레일라

"Wow-!"

I screamed when I saw Daniel sitting diagonally next to me, staring intently at me.

레일라 image

레일라

" omg.. "

I looked around quickly, but I was secretly relieved to see that no one was there.

레일라 image

레일라

"Whew.."

레일라 image

레일라

"But Daniel...since when..."

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"Did you enjoy the book?"

레일라 image

레일라

"Uh.., yeah.. "

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"Then shall we go?"

레일라 image

레일라

" okay "

Daniel and I decided to take a short walk on the way to the palace, and we were enchanted by the beautiful night sky filled with falling stars.

레일라 image

레일라

"Wow-"

레일라 image

레일라

"Daniel, look at that.. it's so pretty.. "

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"Yes, it's really pretty."

I looked back with a strange feeling that I wasn't looking at the night sky, and met Daniel's eyes.

레일라 image

레일라

"Daniel, then"

레일라 image

레일라

" we.. "

레일라 image

레일라

"How much is the contract exactly?"

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"Haha, I told you to play with a person named Lera..."

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"Don't just get people excited-"

Is it because the stars are too bright?

Not hearing the rest, I said to Daniel.

레일라 image

레일라

"Huh, what did you say?"

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"No, nothing-"

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"The contract...will probably end around the latter half of next year."

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"When we break up, I'll say it's a personality issue, and after that, I'll give you all the support you need to live as a nobleman in this country."

레일라 image

레일라

"Ahh... next year..."

I hid my disappointment inside and smiled happily with the corners of my lips raised.

레일라 image

레일라

"Until then, please take care of me, my fiancé?"

강다니엘 image

강다니엘

"Please take good care of me too, my fiancée?"

But why did I feel sad at that time?

The title of Crown Prince's fiancée will disappear next year?

You won't be able to live a luxurious life in the palace any longer?

Or this or that...

When that time comes, I won't be able to look Daniel in the eye and talk to him like this?

Hororolrrrrr

Horolrrrrr

Wooheralll

Ahhh, you guys♡♡

I love you♡♡(? (

Huh
