128 The Chief and the Angel (2)
I got up with flowers and pebbles brought by the children on an old bench.
“Why, why are you here…”
Agnes hurriedly stopped the carriage, and with a look of embarrassment he got down in front of us.
Demi recognized her and raised her tail.
Me and Eva couldn’t keep their mouths open. Agnes, why are you here?
“Hello, Agnes. How come…”
She bowed down to me and Eva, and I greeted her with a bewildered greeting.
Except for Herit, the faces of the three of us were full of question marks.
There was silence, not knowing where to start and how to resolve each other’s doubts.
Agnes was the first to speak.
“Prince, I am the representative of this village of Eights. That’s why I visit the elderly every month.”
“yes?!”
Eva raised her voice. The dark brown eyes of the little princess were pooped.
The story I heard from Grandma Marlene and Grandpa Remy yesterday ran through my mind.
A child of the house who is the most educated in Eights, who works in the Imperial Capital.
A person who knows how to read and write, and also meets valuable people. A kind and arrogant young man.
That was Agnes, the keeper of the Imperial Palace. There were no errors in the explanations of the two old men!
The unexpected twist made his tongue stiff and the back of his head tingle. I’m going to ask for your name.
No, how do you think the village chief would be your friend!
“That, over there. So, are you coming from the Imperial Palace?”
I barely made up a logical sentence.
Just then, Kristel and Prince Sedric were walking by from the other side with rakes and pickaxes.
It looked so good to walk side by side, but this is not the time.
I beckoned to both of them frantically. Come on out!
“Yes. It took me a long time to get around the mountain because I have a lot of luggage today. It usually takes three hours.”
“Wait. sorry.”
I cut off her horse. I think I just heard a very strange sound.
“The fact that you came around the mountain.”
“There, you can see the mountain ahead.”
“········Maybe that.”
“Yes?”
Me and Eva’s eyes narrowed. Agnes’s eyes were lying flat at the same time.
“Agnez. Is that mountain behind the Imperial Palace?”
“Yes, Princess Blanquere. That’s right.”
– Whoops!
Christel, who came closer, dramatically dropped the pitchfork.
The two protagonists glanced at Agnes and me alternately.
The prince, who grasped the back and forth, frowned.
“…the altitude looks completely different.”
I know yeah. From the Juliet Palace, it’s a very low mountain!
“Come on, see you, High Majesty the noble Prince!”
Agnes, who had great respect for the prince, set himself up with courtesy.
It was then that I wondered what kind of lightning bolt this was to Agnes.
After working hard in the Imperial Palace, I came home from work to do other work, and there were only a few people tall like the sky.
I washed my face dry and opened my mouth calmly.
“Agnès, we are… I can’t tell you how happy and happy I am that Agnes came. So, Eights Village.”
As I spoke, I burst out laughing. It was Sir John who came out of the kitchen to complete the question.
“You mean this is the town beyond the mountain behind the Imperial Palace?”
“Yes, Taesa. you’re right.”
“·················ogue.”
Silence flowed at Agnes’ answer. Following,
“Uh-huh.”
Christel almost cried and sat down and started laughing.
Demi and Dungshim were attached to her, whining and beeping.
Either way, they were having fun together. Don’t pretend you already knew!
“It means you can get to the Imperial Palace quickly from here.”
I blinked, trying to sort things out.
I feel like I’ve become a foodie for a group, and I’m out of breath because it’s ridiculous, but anyway, considering the results, it was a good thing.
If he left immediately, he would be able to arrive in time for the Crown Prince’s ceremony.
The prince looked to the west with deep eyes.
As the sun had set, darkness fell on the village.
“that is······. Prince, it will be difficult to leave now because it is late.”
Agnes said with a puzzled face. She also seemed to understand what was going on.
After all, she must have had a lot of work as a servant of the Imperial Palace because of the ceremony.
Tomorrow, the man who should be crowned the Crown Prince comes to a place like this, so it must be absurd and worrisome.
“Has the opening ceremony been postponed?”
“Yes? No, I have never heard of such a thing.”
Agnes shook her head at my question. It was a million luck.
It was clear that Emperor Frederic and Cardinal Boutier believed in our palaces on any grounds.
I said persuasively.
“Isn’t it okay if I have Agnes’ carriage?”
“There is no way over the mountain. If you cross it, it’s the Imperial Palace, so you don’t have to make a road in the first place. There is a barrier, but it is best to block access itself.”
Damn it. I remembered the forest road I had reached using the portal.
Come to think of it, it wasn’t a mountain crossing, but a long, vertical road.
“It is difficult to climb. Do you remember the last time the Prince and Princess Sarnez went on a field trip?”
The mountain keeper looked at us and asked carefully. I stumbled on something from a few months ago.
Before leaving for the ‘Great Beast Subjugation’ to the south, there must have been a time like that.
The indoor dance hall was destroyed in a big fight between Kristel and the prince, and the emperor and the cardinal, angry at this, decided to take an outdoor class.
At that time, we fought against the ‘Dodok Bull’ in the vast grass.
“The mountain behind Juliet Palace was at the level of a hill. It was flat.”
I said. Agnes nodded his head.
“Yes. When you climb the mountain behind the Imperial Palace, a wide basin appears. If you go through the basin, you will see a large peak. That’s the mountain you see now.”

Our heads turned towards the mountain at once.
So, the place where I enjoyed picnics at that time was a low and flat basin, and that tall guy was next…
uh?
“Oh my gosh, the lanterns are already rising!”
Grandpa Remy, who came out of the house across the street, said loudly.
I widened my eyes as I looked where he was pointing.
From https://noblemtl.com
Orange lanterns resembling the prince’s iris were appearing one by one as a ridge.
Demi hurriedly hung up on me and climbed my shoulder. It looked like he wanted to see it from a high place.
– Kiy
“On the eve of His Majesty’s birthday, you fly like that. She’s pretty, she’s pretty, but sometimes I fall out of here a lot and it’s a pain.”
My grandfather had a gentle tone, but it was a special experience for us.
“Wow······.”
Light spots spread all over the sky dyed with southern purple.
At first, there were three or four lamps, and the number gradually increased and spread by six or seven.
Everyone was speechless for a moment and looked at the scene.
It reminded me of a scene in an animated movie that Eunseo loved.
Bamtoli rolled his feet in admiration. Kristel patted him on the back and murmured.
“pretty······.”
“The eve has begun.”
Startle. I woke up from my sentiments at the prince’s words. His and my eyes were entangled.
“Is that heralding the start of the eve?”
“I always fly my headlights at Claire Square in the zodiac.”
“Are people gathering?”
“okay.”
His eyes and voice were calm. Christel asked.
“Is your Majesty also attending the eve?”
“every year.”
It was quiet as if the party had poured cold water on it. Little Haines clings to his dad’s leg.
I hurriedly turned to the mountain keeper.
“Agnez. How long will it take to get to the square if I go around the mountain by horse-drawn carriage from now on?”
“Prince, there is no light at night, so it is dangerous. At the foot of the mountain, the sun often sets early. It’s better to leave early in the morning…”
“What does all this mean? Agnes, what’s going on?”
Grandma Marlene, who had come with a sickle on her shoulder, said abruptly.
Grandpa Remy, who was watching us, also had a puzzled expression.
It was surprising to hear that the people who used to be called bachelors were suddenly called princes and princes.
Apologize to them and explain…
“I can escort you to the Prince. If the Prince permits it.”
Then, Sir John, who was standing behind me, spoke softly.
It was meant to take the prince on a flight over the mountain.
I looked into his mint-colored eyes, lowered my gaze and looked at Herit.
The child held onto the hem of his father’s shirt with his hand. I couldn’t even ask him.
“Sir John, depart tomorrow with Herit.”
“Sir, I am fine.”
“Herit will be fine. It’s only been three days since we met again.”
In response, Sir John looked down at his son. I smiled and continued.
“It is said that they found a flower used for Herit’s medicine nearby.”
“Great!”
Christel was truly delighted. Sir John looked at me in amazement.
“So you have to take it with you. If you tell your Majesty, you can grow it in the Imperial Palace greenhouse or garden. Princess Eva knows where the flowers bloom.”
“majesty.”
“I will take you to the prince.”
I declared It seemed that the end of his speech was trembling. At one point, everyone’s attention was focused on me.
The orange eyes that were submerged in the twilight shone brightly.
“The eve doesn’t matter.”
the prince said softly. It was a fight that I couldn’t understand my actions.
I could have thought so.
We have Agnes now, and if we leave at dawn, we’ll be there before the opening ceremony.
“No, it’s important.”
“·················ogue.”
I looked straight at him.
“It is a moment when many people gather to celebrate the prince’s birthday and the crown prince’s abdication, and I think it’s our duty to happily accept it.”
Kristel, who had been spreading on the floor, shook her head as if she was right.
Seeing the main character taking my side, I felt a little more confident about what I was going to do in the future.
“And it’s good to go early and sleep comfortably. The main game is tomorrow morning.”
“·················ogue.”
“Also, I came here to help Bamtol heal. I also want to help the Prince return to the Imperial Palace.”
I laughed. The prince looked at me silently and snorted lowly.
“So, are you planning to drive the carriage yourself?”
“No, Agnes says it is dangerous to travel at night. I don’t even know the way.”
If I drive it, I might end up going to the Marquis of Duem.
I swallowed dry saliva and looked at Christel.
To be precise, the courage that had been firmly attached to her shoulder.
“Perseverance, come here.”
-Pirr
Crying like a wren, it flew away and sat on the back of my hand.
He blinked his black eyes as if he knew nothing.
“I said I wasn’t your master, remember?”
– beep
Courage tilted his body.
I raised my arm to face the sickness, and made a proposal small enough that only him could hear it.
“So let’s make a deal.”
*
So my back got wings again. A large one-sided, light purple color.
– Flutter!
“Billion, perseverance! Live!”
My feet flew off the floor and my body trembled.
Upon hearing the news, the residents rushed out and shouted ‘Oh my God!’ and ‘Oh my God!’ and knelt down on the ground.
I smiled bitterly.
I said, ‘It’s okay’ and ‘You can take a look’, but the elders just shook their heads and trembled.
In particular, I’m sorry that Grandma Marlene and Grandpa Remy seemed so frightened.
I was worried if it would become a bad memory for those who treated us sincerely.
Me and Kristel’s eyes met.
“Seniors, don’t worry. I’ll treat you well. Princess Eva and Lord Haines are there.”
She smiled broadly and grabbed my arms.
Eva’s eyes lit up as she watched ‘Ark of Biryeom’ from behind.
Herit has been waving his hands without a break since before, wondering if he wanted to touch the feathers.
“I will only trust princesses.”
“Yeah, because unlike anyone else, I’m close.”
Christel answered the prince, crying.
The corners of his lips rose when he saw that he was deliberately sarcastic to relieve tension.
After I finally checked the vines that Demi had wrapped tightly around my body, I hugged the red panda and elk once and faced the prince.
There was also a vine wrapped around his waist. The man looked down at me.
“Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
Why are you making such scary lines? Because you’re a man, if you say something like that, a flag will stand.
“There is no fear of heights.”
I answered bravely.
From https://noblemtl.com
Of course, it must be a little scary, but it’s okay to go up the swinging bridge and glass observatory often.
“It’s not like that. There are more than ten thousand people in the square,”
-Flapping, flapping!
“Wow!”
The ark stopped the prince and flapped his wings.
I flew over 5 meters with a grotesque scream.
The prince jumped quickly and tucked his boots into a long vine.
The ground moved away in an instant!
“Prince, see you tomorrow morning!”
Kristel waved her arms in greeting.
Sir John, Herit, and Eva quickly became smaller.
Dozens of the villagers raised their heads and looked up at the prince and me.
“Yes, thank you!”
I cried. Then the ark soared into the sky vigorously as if it had been waiting.
