Chapter 5 5 Prison of Lies Moonlit Night Concert - The Lying Princess and the Blind Prince
As the sun sets, the two find a lake at the junction of the forest. The lake reflected the setting sun, sparkling, and the two saw that it was beautiful and safe, and decided to rest here for a night. After dinner, the two chatted.
"Prince, you have read a lot of books!"
"yes, and there are books about games that two people can play."
"Hey, what is a game that two people can play?" The princess, who had always played alone, was very curious. The prince was glad that the princess was interested in this and happily explained the rules of the game.
"That would make the difference between victory and defeat, right? I see, let's have fun. "The princess, who knows that the game has a winner or loser, is eager to try the game.
"Then the loser should obey the winner's request."
"Well, I'm not going to lose anyway." The competitive princess had a look of victory on her face.
…… However, the game is word solitaire, how can the wolf be the prince's opponent.
"Ah, I lost, I lost." She gritted her teeth and regretted that tears were about to pop up in the corners of her eyes. "The prince knows a lot of words I don't know!"
"Hey, hey, because I've read a lot of books!"
"But what do you mean by 'getting along with each other'?"
"Foaming at each other means that two people are in the same boat, relying on each other to get through very difficult times, like two fish in a dry pond spitting at each other's bodies so that both of them can live longer. However, it is better to forget each other than to forget each other. Instead of helping each other in difficult situations, it is better to let go of obsessions and find a better and freer self. ”
"Is that so? I've never heard of it. The prince is so knowledgeable! ”
The prince blushed shyly at the thought of the agreement. "Then since I won, can you listen to my request?"
"yes, okay." The princess, who had lost the game, stretched her neck and waited with her back straight.
"I, I want to hear the princess sing." The prince said shyly.
"Huh, singing?" The song that the prince had come to listen to every night had already exchanged the appearance of a princess with the witch, who had been so involved in the forest since she entered the forest that she had not sung once. The wolf never thought about what his singing would eventually become. "I love listening to princesses sing so much......"
If you don't sing it, it will be suspicious. The princess was forced by the situation to decide to try singing.
"Ahem, then I'll start singing." The princess plucked up the courage to sing. But the voice of the princess was not at all at the level of the beautiful singing that had been lingering before, but was very, very hoarse, like a beaver gnawing on wood. And the wolf has lost not only its beautiful voice, but also its ability to sing, and its hoarse voice makes even the wolf feel inexplicably completely out of tune. The prince was astonished to hear such a song.
"Ahem, ahem, I'm sorry, the journey is too hard, and my voice is not very good, I'll sing it to you next time." In a hurry, the princess told another lie and fooled her.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to sing so reluctantly, since that's the case, you must go to bed early and let your body rest." The prince's tender concern, every sentence is like a needle pierced in the princess's heart.
Late at night, the prince fell into a deep sleep, but the wolf could not sleep. The wolf walked listlessly by the lake, and the wolf's heart was full of uneasiness.
"Humans and monsters can't be friends!" The wolf's mind kept echoing what the white bear had said to the wolf, that if I didn't look like a princess and didn't continue to lie, I wouldn't be able to be friends with the prince. The love for the prince, the love for the ugly self who constantly lies, and the wolf who wants to dispel the thoughts of anxiety slapped the water. The ripples that continued to spread out and slowly converged, the wolf looked at the surface of the lake, saw the appearance of his own monster on the water, sighed deeply, and disturbed the surface of the lake again. After thinking about it, she changed back to the appearance of a princess, she was too anxious to look at her appearance after transformation, but now it seems that the witch's aesthetic attainments are really good, the girl in the lake has a long black and neat and silky shawl, and on top of her head is a crown of just the right size, even at night, it shines with a pure luster under the starlight. The delicate facial features are arranged just right on the small face. Even if the princess dress on her body was stained with some mud after a few days of long journey, it still couldn't hide its original charm. The princess blinked and admired the reflection in the lake, stretched out her slender fingers to play with the ornaments on her chest, and the girl in the water also stared at the princess at the water's edge, her long eyelashes fluttering up and down, and her eyebrows and eyes were full. It seems that only such an appearance is worthy of the prince, but unfortunately the prince can't see it, and even if he does, what can he do? This is only a false form, and the more beautiful it is, the deeper the deception of the prince, the heavier the wolf's guilty heart becomes, and he is not at all happy. Again, she stretched out her little hand and cut through the lake.
