Early the next morning, they set out on their journey to the Witch's Mansion. The wolf, who has always been accustomed to lying in the day and coming out at night, is very unaccustomed to such a life and rest during the day, and cannot sleep at night for two consecutive days, and uses the weak princess body that is not used to it during the day, which is really a little unbearable, and yawns all the way.

"Princess, you seem to be very tired, didn't you sleep well last night?" Although invisible, the delicate-minded prince still captures the princess's sleepiness.

"yes, I can't sleep well for a few days, I'm really not used to traveling during the day." The sleepy princess was only concerned with finding a safe place for the prince to stay, and accidentally told the truth.

"Huh? If you are not used to rushing during the day, then why not rush at night? Sure enough, the prince listened to the princess's words and said in amazement.

"Well, there's a beautiful flower over there, I'll pick it for you." The princess, who realized that she had said the wrong thing, wittily diverted the topic and ran towards the flowers by the roadside.

After picking the flowers, she turned around, and the princess, who had plucked the flowers for the prince, stopped, looked at the flowers that should have been handed over, and thought about something. Finally making up his mind, he lowered his head, carefully held the flower, and quietly lifted the transformation. The wolf wanted to give the flower to the prince in his original form, and his hand shook slightly, and the flower between his huge fingertips also trembled. The flower that was finally stretched out in front of the prince still failed to pass it to him. The flower in the hand of the destroyer is as soft and fragile as a human prince, as if telling the wolf that his ugliness is not worthy of the prince. "Princess, what's wrong with you?" The prince's voice brought the wolf back to his senses, and he sighed softly and turned back into a princess.

"No, it's nothing, this, this is for you." The princess smiled softly and handed the flowers to the prince, but when she saw the prince who was as happy as usual, she felt a little distressed.

As they walked on, they were very close to the witch's mansion, but the wolf knew that there would be a lot of monsters on the road ahead, and if they didn't do well, something would make trouble. The wolf also knew another way, through a nearby cave. If you go to this cave, you should be closer. The path to the cave is more complicated and difficult to follow than the forest, but you can avoid other monsters and poisonous insects. Having made up her mind, the princess took the prince by the hand and walked towards the cave, and he was always careful to let the prince take a safe path, but unfortunately the ground under the prince's feet collapsed.

"Prince!" At that moment, the princess held the prince's hand with all her might, but the weak princess could not pull the prince up. If you turn back into a wolf, you can easily pull the prince up, but in this case, holding the prince's hand, if it suddenly becomes a wolf's hand, the lie to the other party will be revealed, and the princess's trembling hand pulls the prince with all her might. But she still couldn't hold on, the princess exhausted all her strength, and the prince's hand finally fell.

"Plop!"

The princess cried out in a panic, and looked at the place where the prince had fallen, and saw the prince lying in the pit. The princess turned pale, covered her mouth with her hands and stopped breathing, but the prince immediately stood up and waved his hand to show that it was okay. Fortunately, the collapsed ground was not high, and there was no major damage, and the princess breathed a sigh of relief. But the princess looked at her hand, which did not take the prince's weak hand, and the princess felt a little uneasy about whether she could protect the prince on the rest of the journey.

The princess and the prince cautiously advanced through the cave and came to a wonderful place full of potholes, and the rocks were full of small openings that cracked outward. There was an ominous atmosphere, something dangerous might come out of the cave of Hesse, and the princess protected the prince behind her, staring closely at the things in the cave. "Wow!" The princess cried out. Sure enough, small black creatures emerged from the small hole, and it was still a group, and by the time they came to their senses, the princess and prince had been completely surrounded by countless black creatures. The prince, who noticed the princess's abnormality, clenched the princess's hand and froze.

"Prince, don't move!" The princess spoke to the prince as she watched out for the movements of the black creatures. "But they just moved their noses, and they didn't come close to us, as if they weren't hostile." At the moment when the princess let her guard down. Next to the prince was a black creature with its mouth wide open "wow".

"Can't eat it!"

At the last moment, the princess, sensing the danger, rushed at the monster and pushed him away, and the black creature that was pushed away hit the rock wall headbutt, and shed tears. A black creature with a large bag of heads banged, crying and crying out pitifully. "Flower ...... It smells so good...... "Delicious ......" It seems that the creature's goal is not to eat the prince, but to eat the flowers that the prince is carrying.

Just as the prince followed the sound as he approached the black creature. "The prince is too dangerous, let me tell them!" The princess, who wanted to hide that the black creature was a monster, pulled the prince back behind her and talked carefully to one of them.

The creatures who call themselves hedgehog rats introduce themselves: they don't have very good eyesight, but they have a good sense of smell, and their favorite thing is the flower that smells good. "There are no flowers growing in the cave, but sometimes the wind blows some petals in from the outside. For hedgehog rats, that's the best delicacy. Because it is so rare, there is often fierce competition, and it is not uncommon for hedgehog rats to die because of the competition. The princess concealed the fact that they were hedgehog rats and explained the situation to the prince.

"I see, although I want to share it with you, but this is an important gift I received, I'm sorry." The hedgehog rats, who heard the prince's reply, were saddened. "Can we go get them some flowers?" The kind prince proposed to the princess. The princess also didn't want her gift to the prince to be eaten by the hedgehog rats. "I see, let's go find some flowers." Hearing the conversation between the two, the hedgehog rats were very happy, if there were petals floating in along the wind, then the flower field should be nearby, and with this as a clue, the two set off to find the flower field.

"Princess, this is not in the valley. Are there any peaks nearby? The prince, who had left the cave after walking a short distance, stood at the entrance of the cave and shook his head for a while, and asked.

"yes, how do you know?" The princess looked at the prince in amazement.

"If the petals were to be blown in by the wind, it would not be in a straight line, but only from the top of the mountain. If I'm not mistaken, the flower field should be on top of a mountain peak. The prince said to himself.

"Is that so? But why? Forget it, since the prince said so, let's climb up the mountain and take a look. "Wolves who have always lived in the forest, although they are very familiar with life in the forest, do not care where the wind is blowing from, let alone realize that the wind direction changes with the terrain.

Looking at the towering peaks is really nothing for a wolf, but it is really a challenge for two weak humans.

"Prince, you must hold my hand tightly. Don't step on it, if you fall......" The princess told the prince uneasily. The prince nodded with a trusting smile. This is the full trust in the princess, which makes her heart can't help but feel a warm current.

The princess who had come to the flower field after a great deal of difficulty could not help but be surprised: she had never seen such a colorful flower blooming in the light of the setting sun, and it was the most beautiful flower field that the princess had ever seen.

"It smells so good, princess."

"Yes, it's very fragrant, I've never seen such a great flower field!"

"Really? I'd love to see it, too. ”

The princess closed her eyes, enjoying the fragrance of the flowers around her, and wanted the prince to see the scene in front of her. "Since we're here, let's pick more flowers for them." The two picked a lot of flowers, put them in their arms, and returned to the hedgehog rats' nest.

The two of them, holding flowers in their hands, returned to the hedgehog rat's nest, the hedgehog rats were very happy, and the long-awaited hedgehog rats jumped out of the hole and ran over to meet the two.

"Now I'll give it to you, come, line up." The princess distributed the flowers one by one, but there was a hedgehog rat that could not resist the fragrance. "Whew!" The hedgehog rat, who didn't care about the princess at all, bit the flower in the princess's hand and chewed it happily. "It's delicious! Huahua, delicious! Among the hedgehog rats who got the flowers, some of them were reluctant to eat and play with them, and some of them had already begun to eat, and they were happy to hum a song with their noses, which resounded throughout the cave.

The prince accosted one of the hedgehog rats and told him where the flower fields were, "If that's not enough, go and pick them hard." "Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you. "Return, return, return." The hedgehog rats said that they had brought in the wonderful food that could be found in the cave, and the princess and prince happily accepted the gift. However, the prince still had some doubts in his heart, and the way this group of "people" spoke was so strange.
