If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again




I am standing at the main gate of the palace right now.

Sigh~~

Mom came to wake me up in the morning and told me to go to the palace.

I said 'Good morning' to her.

She totally ignored me and said, 'Make sure to greet your grandfather properly'.

After that, when I was eating breakfast. I tried to talk to her. I got ignored again.

Then I apologized to her.

She said, 'Your words have no emotions. I can't feel sorry in your word'.

This is the first time she has been angry at me for that long.

It's been 14 hours.

Sigh~~

Let's stop sighing and go in.

There are dozens of security guards standing at the gate with weapons in their hand.

I went near the gate and said, "Open the door"

"Who are you, kid?" someone said from behind me.

"What, you are a kid too"

"I am twenty!"

Hmm. She has a dark blue strap. She must be the head of this team.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever" I turned back and said, "Open the door"

"Wait a minute! Who are you? Are you here for a loan? Or some begging? I am sorry, but we don't let beggars go in the palace"

"What is your name?"

"Why would I tell my name to some beggar?"

Hearing beggars two times in a row, my face twitched.

"Do I really look like a beggar?"

"Hmm" she inspected me with her eyes and said, "You are wearing some expensive clothes"

"That's right. Do beggars wear expensive clothes?"

"Yes, they do"

They...do?

"Rich beggars wear expensive clothes"

"What the hell are rich beggars?"

"Those who are rich but beg for more money from the king"

"And that is?"

"There are many. They come once a week. You are that, right?"

"You didn't answer my question. What is your name?"

"Why would I tell my name to some rich beggar?"

"I am not a rich beggar!"

"You are not?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Can I smack you?"

"Oh! I got it! You are a molester"

"..."

"Wait here, I will call the police"

"Hey!"

What is wrong with this girl?!

"Ma'am!" one of the security guards said.

"What's wrong, uh...M?"

"It's K, ma'am"

How did she name them!

"Yes, yes, K. What's wrong?"

"He asked for your name, ma'am"

"I am not telling some stranger my name. My name can only be called by those who are special to me!" 

"Isabelle"

"How do you know my name?! Don't tell me that you are a stalker?!"

"It's on your name plate, idiot!"

"How rude. Calling a young girl idiot"

"Isabelle, you are fired"

"What? Who are you to fire me?"

"I am--"

"You should get lost already. The almighty prince is coming here today"

"I am that--"

"I really want to see him. The head maid Daulla was telling me that he is so cute and handsome. I can't believe I will get to see the prince from the fairytale book. I really want to see him"

"Ma'am" 

"What is it, K?"

"He is that prince"

"Huh? Prince is here already? Where? I can't see him" she said, glancing around.

"The person standing here is the prince, ma'am"

"Who?"

"This person standing here"

"And who is this?"

"He is the prince, ma'am"

All the colors from her face faded.

"You...are kidding, right?" 

"What are you staring at me for?"

"Are you really the prince?"

"I don't care what you think. You are fired"

"I-I-I..."

"I said you are fired. Get out of my sight"

She ran and grabbed my leg.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"Please forgive me for my behavior"

"It's too late to apologize. Let my leg go and get out of here"

"Please forgive me. I just joined two months ago. I have never seen you, so I didn't know how you look like"

"That's not my fault"

"Please forgive me!" 

"I said let my leg go!"

I kicked her.

I looked at her face, she was crying.

"You chose the wrong day to mess with me. I am especially in a bad mood today"

"Please forgive me!" She said, grovelling on the ground.

"This won't work on me"

"I will do anything!"

"....."

"I will follow your every order, no matter what they are!"

"..."

"I will even perform night duty for you" 

"...."

"I will be your s.e.x slave!"

"You..."

She looked up.

"I will do anything!"

"You. Are. Fired. Can't you understand these three simple words?"

"I will bear your children!" 

What is wrong with her? 

Sigh~~

I wasted too much time here.

"You are fired. Go look for a better job"

Someone like you will surely die if you work here.

"Open the door"

The guard bowed down and opened the door.

It's been nearly two years since I last came here.

It's the same as ever.

Mom said it was under renovation. I don't see much change.

The front garden of the palace is big enough to gather the people of the entire city.

There are many trees in the garden, fake trees.

When I was a kid, I used to believe they were real ones.

I still remember how sad I was when Daulla told me they were fake ones.

Apparently, everyone knew they were fake ones. Lier knew too.

They were being considerate of me because I love trees.

Sigh~~

"These are the memories I don't want to remember"

There are dozens of statues on the path that leads to the palace door.

The hands of all the statues are upwards, supporting the roof of the pavilion.

The pavilion is 5000 meters long, and 12000 meters wide, leading to all the paths, which goes to the fountains, gardens, and many other places.

There are security guards all around the pavilion.

No male other than our relatives is allowed to go in there.

So the palace is full of maids.

Sigh~~

There are bicycles parked here, in case they don't want to walk a 5000 meter long pavilion.

"Like me"

I got on the bicycle and rode it to the palace door.

The door was already opened.

As soon as I stepped in--

"Lil Das! You have grown so much"

I was hugged by someone who I don't even want to see.

"Daulla"
