Chapter ss-13: Side Story 13


When we arrived at the Crown Prince's palace, it was already dawning. 'I've been in that damn mirror for a long time'


It was about time to think blankly, as I was looking at the dim dawn shining out of the corridor window. When I came to my senses, the Crown Prince was dragging me to the place where his chamber was.


At dawn the Crown Prince's palace was so quiet.


But Callisto left me in his bedroom as if someone were chasing me, and then walked to the door and locked it.


"Your Highness." "Stretch out your hand."


Suddenly he walked straight to me and said it. His face was still not very good. Without asking, it was clear that he had been looking for me all night.


When I saw it from a bright place, I saw his hair covered with dust and his tired eyes were clearly visible.


I could tell just by looking at it, how desperately Callisto was looking for me. My heart sank heavily.


'That why I was dragged here without any rebellion'


Of course, I couldn't resist him because I was shocked by his words.


"What are you doing, without reaching out. Will you continue to be tied up like a dog?" As soon as he stood still without moving, he urged me to do so.


'I'm not sure if I'm can talking to you're right now'


I grumbled inside and stretched out my hand. Anyway, I wanted to wash up quickly and go to sleep.


Callisto immedietly memorized spells and unwrapped the magic tool that tied my hand. Maybe because I was tired, I didn't even feel like getting angry.


I was murmured as I looked at the man, who was releasing the rope himself. "I'm tired, but I want to go to my room."


"Don't say anything."


He stopped moving at my words, and then he quickly began to loosen the ropes again. "Because you are now a sinner."


"Why me?" "Why am I?"


Callisto's eyebrows shook fiercely, as if my words had offended him. Finally, he released all the ropes, and soon he spat out my sins.


"You will be an empress soon. For forgetting your position and acting on your own way, thats why you are felt guilty of causing a harm to imperial family in the middle of night. You have to pay for your sin."


"I said I wouldn't marry you. So I didn't commit a crime." "Stop talking nonsense."


"Stop it yourself. Who's been talking about that bullshit all the time?" "What?"


I was tired to go over it, but it makes me unable to go over it. Crown Prince opened his mouth as he struck with a calm voice. "Huh! Have you just decided to leave? "


"You just left first, didn't you?" "What do I do?"


"You tied Lady's arms and dragged her like a dog, whether people see it or not." "When did I!"


When I answered in a nonchalant manner, Callisto shouted with a very unfair face and suddenly closed his mouth.


And then.


"Are you sick? Where did you get hurt? Show me."


He was very careful with his hands that would touch my wrist.


"I told them to tie it up gently, thats son of a bitch wouldn't to be safe"


"I'm not hurt."


I answered more fatally than him, who murmured relentlessly as if he were going to jump out with a sword right away.


'Why do you tie up when you're going to do this?'


Despite the fact that it wasn't hurt, Calisto continued to gently touch where it was tied up. "Stop it. It's all right."


"It's a little red. I'll call a doctor right away." "It's because you keep rubbing it."


I was adamant to say so.


I thought it was too much, but Callisto didn't let go of his hand who was holding my wrist.


I looked at the dusty golden hair that had been scattered under my eyes and said with a sigh.


"It was nothing special. I accidentally went there while I was taking a walk, and I was just standing


in the mirror looking at it." ""


"Whether today or later, it was something that I'd been through for once anyway." "At least you should told the servant that you were going for a walk."


As he listened to me quietly, he lifted his bowed head and quietly moved it.


"When it's about you, even though i'm a Crown Prince I'll acting like a madman"


"...."


"You should have talked, Penelope Eckart."


The red eyes looking at me lost their color and shook.


Only then I could felt his hand which was still holding me shake intermittently.


You told me to go when I let you go.


Every time I wasn't with this man, he was so nervous that he couldn't help it. As I retreated, I had no choice but to apologize softly this time.


"That'sI'm sorry about that."


"You look so sorry."


He snorted, I'm serious but it didn't sound very sincere. And he added grimly.


"I'm going to destroy that thing tomorrow." "What"


I was wondering what was he talking about, but soon I asked back with a feeling of doubt. "Are you talking about the mirror of truth?"


"Yes."


"Why youWhy do you break the hard-earned restoration?"


I've had been strugling to restoring it with Marienne! I frowned, and speak firmly.


"Just let it be used as a research material."


"You disappear twice because of it, how can I let it go? I'm going to break down that thing and prevent it in advance."


"Your Highness."


I was a little embarrassed when he was answer without hesitation as if he had intended to do so. "I've told you so many times that I'm not going anywhere."


"I'm not a blind fool, princess."


Callisto was answer with a soft but determined voice. "I know that the mirror is related to your origin place" ""


"If it was exists, you may be back someday, regardless of your will." I was surprised at the fact that he even had that thought.


'Was this guy was obsessed with it?'


However, on the other hand, I thought I couldn't give Callisto that much faith.


I shared some secrets with him about Leila, but I couldn't tell him all about my past life and the game system.


It was not up to him to understand that confiding was not enough for him to understand, and I had been decided that there was no need to reveal what had already been done.


I hurriedly opened my mouth and dissuaded Callisto, who treated the "mirror of truth" as an enemy. "I don't have to do that anymore. It's all over. I can't go back even if I want to go back now."


"So it doesn't matter if it's broken, does it? And, you said you didn't know that it would work today?" "That's"


That's true.


It was a moment when I was swept away by strange logic.


"Anyway, You had confirmed whether Marquis or evil's spirit or whatever it is still alive. Now you've nothing to do with it."


"....."


"Just stay here until the coronation day and get ready for the wedding. I'll give you a teacher, and you'll learn a little bit about Crown Princess's manners."


He brought back the story of imprisonment and marriage that he had postponed for a while. After all, it was the origin.


I responded coldly right away. "No."


"I can't help it if you don't like it. But who can refuse the crown prince's orders?" "Just lock it up. I'm going to use magic to run away."


"Use it. But unfortunately, in the Imperial Palace there was a magic trick to neutralize the unidentified magic, what should we do?"


He grinned at me and shrugged his shoulders provokingly. I answer to that jerk, turning back his ridicule.


"Why would you reveal all that? I will break it down and get away with it somehow. I'm the only Duke's daughter. Can't I do that?"


"Shit."


Realizing that he had done something stupid, the Crown Prince rolled his foot once "Boom!" because he couldn't beat me.


Then he stared at me and shouted.


"What the hell is the problem. Is it a proposal or something, Is it because of that?" Of course, it also an important thing.


But it felt a bit pathetic to say yes.


Ultimately, it's not the reason, and it's even more difficult if I try to talk to him for no reason. ""


As we stared at each other with our arms folded without saying anything, the crown prince slipped away from my gaze.


Then, he suddenly looks at me with a clam expression. "The ring isn't finished yet."


Something popped out in front of me.


A ring with a large turquoise bead was hanging on the large palm of the crown prince without even a case.


Picking up the ring with his other hand, and Callisto said. "I'm gonna cover this side with diamonds."


He points to the ring portion of the ring.


Unlike the turquoise beads, which were wrapped around the area with the shape of a golden leaf, and worked as splendidly as a flower bud, the ring part was emptying without any decoration.


'Is this what you call a proposal?'


As I was staring at the ring not knowing what to do, Calisto opened his mouth again as if he knew the answer.


"This is the tears of a mermaid, which is a legend in the West Sea of Gaspar. Doesn't it looks like your


eyes?" ""


"Bring eternal wealth and honor for the owner." "Really?"


'Oh, that's a little harsh.'


The prince's face became brighter, as if my eyes had changed noticeably due to the sound of wealth and honor.


"It was hidden in the treasure chest of Gaspar's palace, but the processing was a little late because only the royal family could solve the curse."


I had a hard time finding this bloody man during the conquest war.


Somehow he added with a slightly excited voice. But I was more concerned with other words than his excuse.


"Curses? What"


"It's said the favor of the one who owns it was bound together forever." Before complaining about giving me such a thing, he answered first.


"You can't even escape death. So when I cut off Hing Gaspar, the queen died with him." A strange glow of joy rose in his silent eyes.


I looked at him, then lowered my head and looked at the ring again.


'I mean, he couldn't propose because the processing for the wedding ring was too late?' That's the summarized from his rambling.


It felt strange when I see the ring again after knowing the background. 'When we die, let's die together at the same time.'


I was a little chilling by the renewed Callisto's obsession. Whether he aware me or not, Callisto opened his mouth again.


"There's a ring that's been handed down from generation to generation in the Empire, but I didn't


want to give it to you."


" It's bad luck because it was worn by the queen, and it's tacky because the golden dragon is so big. That's doesn't even suit youShit."


After fidgeting alone, he suddenly flicked out a curse word.


I took my eyes off from the ring in amazement and looked up at him.


"At that time in the garden, I didn't mean to say that. Cause that fucking rumor seems to be what


you care about"


The prince, who was sweeping my bangs roughly with a complex face. Suddenly-. He knelt before me.


Not one knee, but both knees.


He literally knelt down like a sinner. "Penelope Eckart."


"...."


"Please marry me."
