42 – Leave the crown prince alone!
***
morning.
Maru was neatly dressed and looking at the mirror in the room.
He opened his mouth wide and was repeating A-E-O-O without making a sound.
After a while, he raised his eyebrows.
“Handsome installation complete.”
I slapped both cheeks with my palms and left the room.
As soon as I opened the door, I waved brightly at the lady-in-waiting I met, and she smiled shyly.
After smiling like a pleasant man, he headed to the office.
I was walking down a long hallway when I heard a voice behind me.
“The person who goes there is not the Crown Prince. good morning.”
“Yes, good morning.”
He was the Minister of Justice, with gray hair and benevolent wrinkles around his eyes.
“Where are you going? Are you busy?”
“I was on my way to the office.”
“Oh, I was on my way there too. Let’s go together.”
We walked down the aisle side by side in line with the slow pace of the Minister of Justice.
“My family has placed great importance on cultivating loyalty and filial piety and the law from generation to generation. Perhaps because of that, there are many great people from generation to generation, and the achievements that have contributed to the kingdom and the world are uncountable.”
“What a wonderful family.”
“Sure, then.”
The Attorney General smiled heartily.
“I would like to introduce our family in detail to the Crown Prince. If you give us some time today or tomorrow, we will go home together and see what achievements our ancestors left behind. ”
“Aren’t you the crown prince!”
I suddenly heard a voice and looked up and saw that it was the Minister of Finance.
Smiling broadly, he stood holding a large picture frame with both hands.
“Please look at this!”
The Minister of Finance blocked the road and showed the frame.
In the frame, the then 18-year-old Queen of Alexandria and an unknown old man were each sitting on a chair and smiling gracefully.
“One is your mother when you were a girl, and who is the one sitting next to you?”
“He is my grandfather. Our family and the queen have had a very deep relationship since then. Our family is a family that values ties to the extent that there is a family motto that once a relationship is formed, it must be together forever. Therefore, we invited the Queen’s descendant, the Crown Prince, to our house… ”
The Attorney General intervened.
“Hey! I was telling you first!”
“I’ll be the first, and you’ll be the second, no!”
“No, where is that! You have to follow the order!”
“Look at this picture! Our family has had a precious relationship with the Queen since our ancestors! So, it seems to me that it is right for my family to serve you first!”
While the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Finance were bickering, another person appeared.
This time, he was the commander-in-chief who commanded the entire army.
He pushed the Minister of Justice and Finance and came in, clinging to the side of the floor.
“Aigoo, Crown Prince! You are here!”
“Nice to meet you, Prime Minister. Do you have something to say?”
“It’s nothing different. I’m here to apologize because I thought I was rude at the last meeting.”
The Chief Minister acted as friendly as ever before and continued.
“I didn’t recognize the crown prince and made a very big mistake. You must have been in a lot of pain at that time. I sincerely apologize.”
“I can’t remember, what did you say?”
“Young people only know romance, but they don’t know the seriousness of the situation.”
“Ahh.”
“You remember?”
“Yes, I am. have something like that it’s okay. Never mind.”
“Oh, open your heart! thank you!”
“Princess!”
Another sound was heard from the other side.
He was the chairman of the royal council.
“If you have some time, how about a cup of tea in our advisory room?”
“Princess!”
Another call came from the other side.
This time, the Grand Master was running.
And again, I saw someone running towards me from behind, smiling broadly.
“I wanted to see the Crown Prince!”
Maru started to get scared.
Soon, the high-ranking ministers of the kingdom gathered in one place and started fighting over the floor.
“What are you guys doing! I came first!”
“My family! My family has a relationship with the queen!”
“It is customary for the Royal Advisory Council to meet first!”
“I’ll tell you how to do the Crown Prince’s protocol from now on, it’s overflowing!”
How strong are the old people?
It wasn’t even a fuss dragging each other’s clothes to occupy the floor.
All the neatly dressed clothes were crumpled.
“quiet! quiet! Wait! I have something to say!”
After calming everyone down, Maru suggested that we all meet together during lunch and discuss the order of the meeting while having a meal.
Then all the ministers went back satisfied.
“Phew, my ears are tingling. What voices are so loud?”
Maru moved his steps, shaking off his crumpled clothes.
“You must be busy going around for a while.”
I left the garden and was walking on the green lawn when suddenly a group of people rushed in.
They were the knights who were on the hunt.
They stopped cantering, bowed politely, and sent intensely yearning eyes.
“Princess! I want to engrave the advanced swordsmanship of the Empire in my eyes! We would be very grateful if you could demonstrate it for us!”
“when?”
“We would appreciate it if you would come with us now!”
“It’s hard right now because I’m busy.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone as high as the Crown Prince, but if it’s not now, I don’t know when I’ll see you next time! Please go with me!”
“Show me!”
“Show me!”
“I would like to see!”
“It will be a good lesson for us!”
Even though I said no, they kept urging me.
Maru had no choice but to turn around and run away in the opposite direction.
At the same time, the knights shouted and chased after them.
“Princess! please! Please teach me!”
“Stand there!”
“I don’t know anything like swordsmanship!”
While he was running frantically, he ran into a group of maids who were carrying laundry.
All of them cheered in unison and were delighted to see themselves running.
“Oh, the prince is running fast!”
“cool!”
What are you struggling with in the morning?
The knights relentlessly pursued them in light clothes worn when trotting.
I looked around because I thought I had no choice but to hide.
A loading dock was visible in the distance.

“Since the canal has been opened there, we plan to use the sea instead of sending them overland from now on. It will cut at least a month before the cargo arrives.”
“It will save a lot of transportation costs. You can increase your trade volume with that country.”
“great!”
“Everyone knows that, so let’s end today’s meeting here.”
Audrit walked around the loading dock after the morning meeting.
After a while, Maru ran in a hurry and breathed heavily in front of her.
“Please hide me! omg! Ugh!”
“What happen?”
“The villains are after you!”
“Are you a villain?”
Audrit looked into the distance with a puzzled look.
I saw a group of men looking around, looking for someone.
“Come over here!”
She hurriedly grabbed Maru’s hand and ran into a nearby warehouse.
Inside the 30-pyeong room, small boxes packed with goods were tightly displayed on wooden shelves.
Maru went straight inside and sat down.
“Why are you so upset that you can’t eat it? Heck, heck.”
Audrit locked the door and picked up the folder from the desk.
“Catch your breath for a moment. Because I will be working.”
“Are you still working even though your lover is here?”
“I was afraid that it would be difficult for me to speak, so I let him rest until he calmed down. Your lover is worried about you right now.”
Maru laughed.
“Then come and work next to me. Don’t stay away.”
Audrit obediently moved to the side and looked up at the shelf to see if the note on the box matched the contents of the file.
“But why are you being chased? Are those people from the Templar Order?”
“I want to see the crown prince’s great swordsmanship.”
“I shouldn’t have shown you.”
“When I was in the imperial family, I learned swordsmanship from a great master, but the period was short and I can’t boast anywhere. If you show it, you will only be cursed at.”
“In my eyes, it’s cool to just swing your fist.”
After speaking calmly, she put the small box she was holding on to the shelf and then dropped the box next to it to the floor.
When the box fell, Maru, who was sitting on the floor, inadvertently stretched out his arms.
At the same time, Audrit also squatted in place and reached out to the box.
Their fingertips touched on a small box.
It felt like electricity was flowing at that moment.
Silence flowed as we faced each other.
“… … ”
“… … ”
Both of them had a warm feeling and their hearts were burning.
No matter who said it first, they kissed each other and their tongues intertwined.
After a while, happy smiles hung on the lips of the two who finished kissing.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever experienced love in my life, but I think love is so good.”
“What is it?”
“It’s nice just to look at it, it’s reassuring to think about it, it’s nice to have someone to go somewhere with, and it’s so nice to be able to hold you at any time.”
Audrit, who was sitting side by side on the floor, leaned her head on Maru’s shoulder and closed her eyes.
“I’ll stay like this for a little while. I have to work, but it’s a big deal… ”
She slurred her words and fell asleep soundly.
“You can’t sleep. I need to do the next kiss.”
Maru laughed heartily after saying it like a joke.
He was the happiest person at this moment.
***
After a while, when I opened the door to the office, Oliver jumped to his feet.
“Oh, are you here, Crown Prince!”
“It is already lunchtime. Sorry for late.”
“Oh no! I was working hard instead!”
Oliver somehow got more spirited than usual.
Besides, he was wearing clothes he hadn’t seen before.
It is so gorgeous that it is made of high-quality fabric.
“What are the clothes? Did you buy a new one?”
“This is our family’s clothing worn only on special occasions! My parents said it was an honor to work for the Crown Prince and that I should dress nicely too!”
“Oh yeah?”
A smile flowed from his lips.

Just do it like you normally do.

“And I… The guests have come and are waiting for you!”
“Guest?”
I looked inside.

Just then, a large woman with tanned skin rose from her seat and turned around.
“It’s been a while, Maru! Shall I call you Crown Prince?”
It was Natalie.
Maru’s smiling face cooled down.
“Why did you come?”
