After that, I don't know how many nights passed, and the spirit of the prince, who had been scratched by monsters and lost his light, finally recovered somewhat. But his parents were very disappointed that he could no longer appear as a royal family. Since he is not the crown prince and a child who has not been supervised since he was a child, he will always be ignored by the royal family and let him do what he wants to do, which is why he can come to the terrible forest every day to listen to the wolf singing without being discovered. But now...... If the wound on his face is seen, it is tantamount to telling his subjects that the royal family can't even take care of their own children. Even the royal family can be injured by monsters, and such a message will undoubtedly increase the fear of the dark forest and the doubts about the country's security capabilities, which is unacceptable for a kingdom surrounded by forests. Therefore, the blind prince could no longer appear in front of the people. However, in any case, the prince is also a member of the royal family, and it may be more suspicious to suddenly disappear or stay in the castle for the rest of his life. The king had no choice but to put the prince under house arrest in the tower of the castle, which was the prince's residence, on the grounds that he had made a mistake, and the doors and windows were temporarily converted into a prison cell. When the prince's face is good, if it doesn't look so intimidating, let him out, and explain why he is blind for some other reason.

That night, the wolf, who feared the prince, learned from the soldiers of the castle that the prince had been placed under house arrest in the tower. Completely unacceptable to such an outcome, the indignant wolf cautiously sneaked into the tower in order to confirm the safety of the prince. The prince's cell was not difficult to find, and when he came to the outside of the cell, the wolf saw the prince sitting in the cell holding a pillow and bowing his head. She was still taken aback, and her paws involuntarily covered her mouth. The prince seemed to sense something approaching, and raised his head, and his little face was covered with a large bandage, as if hiding something unsightly.

"Your Royal Highness...... Prince," the wolf accidentally shouted.

"It's so familiar, this voice is...... Is it someone who sings in the forest? The wolf was amazed, and the prince recognized himself by his voice alone.

"Well, yes, oh, I—I saw the prince attacked by a monster there......" the wolf replied with a stammer. The wolf, who was so anxious to visit the prince because of his concern that he was completely unprepared for this kind of conversation, could not directly say that he was the monster who injured the prince.

"But it sounds like you're fine, that's great." The prince smiled reassuringly, and the wolf felt a faint pain in his heart when he saw such a prince. "Thank you for coming to visit me, but how the hell did you get here?" Faced with the prince's naïve question, the wolf began to be distressed.

"I—I'm actually the princess of your neighbor. I said I wanted to come and see you, and they let me in. The wolf stared into the prince's invisible eyes and lied. Compared to this...... Prince, it's so strange that you're locked up in such a place! The wolf's voice was hard to suppress anger.

"My face was scratched by the monster, my eyes couldn't see, and my father and mother didn't want me to appear in front of everyone, I thought...... I can't get out of here anymore. At this, the prince bowed his head in despair, looking like he was about to cry. Seeing the prince's appearance, a wave of guilt came over the wolf. The idea that I had made in my heart before I came here was now even more firm - since it was the disaster that I brought to the prince, then it was up to me to help the prince get out of trouble, but ...... At the same time, she also expected that even if the prince's life was not in danger, the damage caused by her claws to the prince should not be underestimated, and at the moment, if she wanted to cure the prince's eyes and let the prince recover his appearance and see again, I am afraid that only one person could help.

"Then, let the witch of the forest heal your eyes," the prince looked up in surprise when he heard the wolf's unexpected suggestion: "Witch? Is it the forest witch who appeared in the picture book? ”

"I don't know what a picture book is, but the forest witch can make any wish come true, and she will definitely be able to heal your eyes. She lives in the depths of the forest, and I'll take you there. The wolf excitedly suggested, but the prince bowed his head again.

"Taking me deep into the forest is too dangerous for both of us, and ...... I still remember the creepy furry touch of the monster's claws that scratched my eyes. As he spoke, the prince's shoulders and body trembled. When the wolf heard the prince's recollection, he looked down and saw the chilling hands that knew nothing but destruction. The terrible and remorseful feeling of hurting the prince with those hands still haunted his heart, and the claws were embedded in the prince's skin, and the feeling of being stained with warm blood seemed to remain on his fingertips. The wolf, who was almost carried away by emotion, suddenly realized that although he wanted to take the prince out of here, he couldn't even hold him with his own hands. The wolf clenched his hands tightly, and after thinking about it for a short time, the wolf walked towards the prince. "Your Highness, let me take you there," the prince slowly raised his head again after hearing the wolf's voice, "but please wait for me, I will definitely come to pick you up," the wolf who had dropped this sentence left the tower and ran into the forest.

When the wolf, who had been running non-stop all night, arrived at the witch's mansion, it was already the morning star, everything had just woken up, and the witch had just finished freshening up. The sudden arrival of visitors catches the witch's eye. "Oh, yes, this is a rare guest, why did the cannibal wolf come to my witch's mansion?"

"Please turn me into a human, I have someone I want to bring here,"

Seeing the cunning and clever wolf's extremely sincere attitude, the forest witch felt very strange and grinned: "The man-eating wolf actually said that he wanted to become a human, which is really interesting, but why? Could it be that Miss Wolf has also become interested in making peace with the weak? Hearing the witch's caustic words, the wolf grinded his teeth angrily.

"That's it, I've guessed the ins and outs," the witch put her wand on the tip of the wolf's nose to stop the wolf from biting, "Of course I can grant your wish." But relatively, you get the idea, right? "The witch took out one of the most bewitching balls from the countless balls that appeared out of thin air and shone with an evil strange light, and exhaled at the balls." Look at this, how beautiful, this is the only and most shining masterpiece! The orb in the witch's hand glowed faintly. This is the price of wish-granting – the most precious thing for the wish-maker. They are magically sealed in balls by the witch, and it can be said that she is a collector of evil hobbies. "Paired with the beauty and brilliance, the heart of regret when losing the most precious thing, and the ominous aura of blessing the magic color on the light it emits is the greatest masterpiece. What kind of light will you let me see? The witch began to look at the wolf's eyes, "What I'm going to take from you is ...... By the way, give your singing voice in exchange! ”

"Me, my singing?" Although he had already made some awareness of the witch's bad taste before coming, the wolf was almost shaken. As a monster, the biggest difference between herself and others is her own singing, which is also the source of her self-esteem, self-confidence, and even pride, and even believes that no one in the forest can appreciate her unique and beautiful singing voice except herself, even if she sings alone to the changing moon every day and no one appreciates it. But now, with the prince as an audience...... My beautiful singing voice that the prince praised, and the human appearance that can lead the prince, and ......

"I see, I'll give you my singing." Hearing the wolf's answer, an evil smile appeared at the corner of the witch's mouth under the mask. "Nice realization, the deal is set! Life is really interesting to get the price of a wish from you, and I'm in a good mood right now, so since it's so rare, I'll give you a little special service this time. The witch's eyes began to blink playfully: "Then I'll make you what you want to become, do you have any appearance requirements?" The wolf who heard this had in mind the scene of holding the prince's hand. Want...... Become like a princess. The witch chuckled. That's a very reasonable and lovely request. ”

"Is that okay?" Negotiate terms with the witch who has always pursued the so-called "fair trade", the wolf really has no bottom in his heart, if the witch doesn't agree, or asks for something from herself, it will be really difficult.

"Of course, it's a little too simplistic. However, if you are turned into a human, I think the humans you brought with you and you should become a feast for the monsters in this forest. The witch laughed a little gloatingly. Yes? This, this is also true. But what to do? The wolf, who was bent on restoring his sight, realized that it would be more difficult to bring the prince into the forest than he had imagined. The witch was right, she had to survive in this treacherous forest with her powerful power as a wolf, but to get close to the prince was to take human form...... The wolf began to hold her head in agony, and even two tears broke out of the corners of her eyes, which had always been strong.

"Haven't you even thought about it? You're not a cunning wolf. Well, I'll cast another spell on you, so you can change back into wolf form at any time. The witch's fingertips began to gather the colors of the magic. The wolf's body was surrounded by a strange light, and part of the light gathered around the witch. "I did accept the song." The witch grinned, and the light that enveloped the wolf finally disappeared after a split second of strength. "I still look like a wolf, huh?" The wolf who came out of the light looked at his body for the first time and said. The witch never deceives people, could it be that her spell fails? The wolf thought secretly in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say it. "It's an extremely complicated magic, and it will take at least one night until your body is fully accustomed to it, and before that, the magic will gradually seep into your body."

"I see." The wolf was relieved, and the longing for the prince and the distress for the loss of her singing voice hit her together, so that she did not want to stay here for a second, and was about to go out. "Don't be in a hurry," the witch stopped the wolf who was about to leave the witch's mansion, "That's right, you must pay attention to the changes in the moonlight, the wolf's strength will become very strong in the moonlight, so it will be difficult for you to maintain a human form in the moonlight." ”

"Got it, thank you." The wolf did not pay much attention to this very important reminder, and thought that he would soon become a human and take the prince by the hand and travel together, and what a wonderful thing, full of anticipation and joy, the wolf longed to go to the castle again to meet the waiting prince.

Leaving the witch's mansion, the wolf jumped up a tall tree a few times, and lay on the branch to make up for the rest of his mind and take an adventure with the prince, but the wolf who usually wanted to doze off when he saw the sun climb up to the sky today even if he ran quickly all night, at this time his body was extremely tired, but he couldn't sleep, and all he thought about was the scene of running hand in hand with the prince in the forest, and it would be great if he could become a good friend because of this. However, when I thought that I had taken advantage of the prince's insight, and deceived him with false bodies and lies, my heart was very unpleasant. Thinking that her singing voice had been given to the witch, could the lying princess get the friendship of the prince without her beautiful singing voice? This thought is that there is no sleepiness at all. Finally, in the evening, the wolf hunted some prey to satisfy his hunger, and then ran out of the forest, and when he left the forest, it was already the afternoon of the third day after leaving the witch's mansion. The wolf waited patiently until it was dark, and then took the opportunity to return to the tower where the prince was kept. "It only takes one night to become a princess," the wolf remembered what the witch had said. I tried it cautiously, and sure enough, I turned into a cute princess. The wolf did not have time to look at his appearance, and hurried to the prince's door. "Your Royal Highness!" The princess called out softly to the prince.

"Princess, you're back, thank you, but ......" The prince hesitated at the thought of going to the terrible forest.

"Don't worry, I've got a lot to do to take you out. I promise we won't run into a monster. In order not to worry the prince, the princess said optimistically.

The first thing is to free the prince from his cell. The princess looked at the iron gate between herself and the prince, although there was no key, the door of this cell could be broken with the power of a wolf, but the prince needed to stay away from the door.

"Well, Prince, can you stay away from the prison door?" As he spoke, the wolf realized that it was suspicious that he had let the prince do this.

"Oh, okay, I got it." Hearing the princess's request, the prince retreated to the innermost part of the cell, somewhat bewildered. Turning back into the form of a wolf, he swung his powerful claws at the cell door, smashing it to pieces in a few blows. And the prince, blinded by his eyes, could only hear the loud sound of the cell door being broken. The wolf transforms back into a princess and approaches the prince in the form of a princess. She grabbed the prince's trembling little hand, and the prince was a little timid, and cowardly grasped the princess's hand, and the princess felt the warmth of the prince's hand, which was a soft touch that she had never felt before, as if her relationship with the prince had suddenly increased a lot. The princess involuntarily raised the corners of her mouth and basked in joy.

"Princess...... Princess! The prince called her twice before she came to her senses. Why don't you open the door with a key but ...... Sounds like you're just knocking the door open? ”

"Ah, well, the key is in your father's possession, so, so I think the reason why he locked you up here is probably because he didn't want others to see you like this, so he didn't ask for his consent. After all, I am the princess of a neighboring country, and it is always a little bad for me to see your pitiful appearance—but rest assured, I will keep it a secret and heal your eyes. Besides, I've said hello to the guards, and they won't embarrass us. "In fact, several of the guards around have been slapped unconscious by the wolf's big hand, and they have stolen wine from the cellar and poured it on them so that they will smell drunk, so that even if they wake up, they will be thought to be drunk and fall to the ground, and they will not immediately think that someone has attacked. The wolf was quite proud of his plan for this day, and since he came back from the witch's mansion, he had begun to plan this matter carefully, and he must not make the mistake of thinking without thinking like the witch pointed out. But the wolf could not think further, and the disappearance of the prince would only be discovered until breakfast was brought in the morning of the next day, and the door of the prison that had been violently broken was the most obvious evidence of the robbery.

Fortunately, the prince was not suspicious: "So, princess, have you arranged everything?" He seemed to have something in his pocket, and the wolf did not recognize it, which was necessary for flint and lantern to go out.

"Well, let's go and find the forest witch together, and you must pull me well."

In this way, in order to heal the prince's eyes, the goal is to cross the monster forest and reach the witch's mansion. The journey of the lying princess and the blind prince begins.
