003 Crash Landing on You (3)
Having finished organizing my notebook all morning, I also made additional nonsense as I made time for myself.
“·······Status window.”
Naturally, there was no translucent window or text visible in front of my eyes.
I wondered if I might have become like the main character of a novel by Bing, but in reality, it was cold and not cold.
As he became ashamed of his excessive self-awareness, his cheeks and the corners of his eyes became hot.
I’m going to go eat some rice

“Prince, I have brought you a book worth reading. And it is said that His Majesty had permission to take a walk in the garden at any time.”
“Thank you, that’s great.”
After having lunch on the same route as in the morning, the young attendant, who delivered me a bag in the morning, brought me some good news along with a few books.
Benjamin and the other attendants had vacated their seats earlier, so I thought this child would be leaving soon, but the boy began to cringe and look at me.
“I have something to say?”
“Ah, that’s…”
The boy blushed and didn’t know what to do.
Maybe fourteen years old? His bright blue hair and large golden eyes were impressive.
“My name is Canael Calamar. It is the first of the Viscount Calamar.”
“I’m Jesse Penetian.”
It’s also a strange name.
When I told him my name because he was only listening to self-introductions, he seemed to have relaxed a bit and smiled brightly.
Canael spoke quickly with a recalled face.
“There will be no people in the Empire who do not know the dignity of the prince. Everyone is curious about the prince, although he doesn’t show it… Because there are many devout people. It is a historic event for a new country’s royal priest to come to the Imperial Palace.”
Wow, didn’t you just pass through a huge amount of information?
I kept my mouth shut and tried to make a calm face.
If possible, I wanted to take a notebook out of my pocket and write down all of Canael’s words.
Devout people, royal priests, historical events.
Then Canael said that he was very sorry to have met me like this, but rejoiced that it was an honor for the Calamar family to be able to serve him like this.
It’s a pity that I came as a hostage, but it seemed to mean that I really liked it.
I was just amazed at how this flirtatious guy managed his facial expressions in the morning.
“How old are you, Canael?”
“I turned 16 last February. I’m twelve years younger than the prince. I had a small coming-of-age ceremony because I was preparing for the entrance to the palace…”
The child laughed shyly and babbled.
When he was 16, he was said to be seventeen in Korean age.
He looks much younger than that…
No, wait. When I said I was twelve years older than that kid, it was said that I was only twenty-eight.

Originally, I was only twenty-eight, so Jesse Penetian and I were the same age.
This is also new information.
“I’m still young, but I have a lot of trouble in the palace.”
“Hehe, no. In fact, when I heard the news that the prince was coming, I purposely asked to enter the palace. The Viscount did not object either. Rather, he praised it as an act that succeeds the will of establishing a family.”
When I talked with Canael, new knowledge was accumulated in an instant.
From https://noblemtl.com
Of course, these are only fragmentary things, but each one of them was a precious background and setting for me, who had never read the original ＜I Resigned and a Princess of Another World>.
Canael asked, ‘I am sorry for the person below me to say this first, but please, please keep your words low.’
It was obvious that he wanted to get to know him, and when he said he would do it, the child loved it.
“So, if it’s okay with you… Can you listen to my confession?”
“yes?”
I was so upset that my voice was distorted. I don’t know when the topic got this far.
Canael was even more embarrassed by my reaction and waved her hand.
“Hey, in short form! Since you still haven’t gotten rid of your addiction, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, no, I’m fine next week. Anytime it’s convenient for you…”
Thinking that he had troubled me, the child quickly died.
But it was me who really wanted to die.
I’m going to make a confession, so you want me to listen?
I remembered that Canael called me a royal priest before.
Did Eunseo ever tell you that the sub male of ‘Toegye Gong’ was a priest?
“Well, I’ll make time soon.”
I think I’ve heard people say something like, ‘In our example, Seobang has a sacred face, but also a sacred profession.’
I answered with a typical Korean attitude, ‘Let’s have a meal sometime’, and Ganael quickly shuddered at that.
I had to be careful.
I couldn’t act hastily until I knew exactly what the priest was doing, and what kind of god these people were worshiping.

After Canael left, I sat down at the table and looked through the book I had been given.
＜Biweekly Lister – Everything in the Empire’s social circles>
＜History of the Lister Empire: Focusing on Exchanges with the New Penetian Empire>
＜The Lord has given me>
From https://noblemtl.com
One thin magazine, one history book, and one book that looks like an essay.
Did you put a rhyme in the title on purpose?
First of all, I knew for sure that the name of the empire was ‘Lister’.
All three books seemed to be helpful to me in many ways, and I thought it would be fun to pick and read them because they were so different.
Canael, who seemed to have a lot of work, now looked at it and had a very good eye.
In fact, if you want to stay as a servant in the Imperial Palace, you will have to forcefully raise your eyesight.
I picked up the magazine first.
At the top of the cover, there was a small print with the words ‘March 15, 1613 by the Seong-Ryeok’.
Underneath it, in large letters, was engraved the phrase, ‘The rebels of the new kingdom are advancing to the empire’.
Is this what I’m talking about?
“In two days, Prince Jesse Penetian, who is said to be the most beautiful woman in the new country, will enter the Empire. Although he is a hostage, it is a message from an official of the imperial family that he will enter the palace nominally as a ‘confessional priest’ dispatched by the Penetian New Kingdom. What effect will he have on Lister’s social circle, having spread many rumors in the New Kingdom’s social circle? The atmosphere of the royal family in the new kingdom, which was veiled by the break of ties for 30 years, and the tendencies of Prince Jesse, the new country expert, Sir Sarah Beliard, analyzes every detail.”
········There are so many things. I have a lot to study.
That’s what I thought as soon as I opened the magazine.
If you look at the main characters of other novels, you get great acting skills at the beginning, and you buy abilities from the beginning, and so on.
This is a board that I have to focus on in injection type notes and repetitive memorization, which I have not done since the entrance exam.
“No.”
He raised his hand and lightly stroked my cheek.
That’s the case with the ‘protagonist’, and I was just one of the male characters that didn’t have to be in the main character’s life.
From what Eun-seo heard, the male sub male remained as a ‘sub’ and could not become a ‘Nam Joo’.
Let’s remember what happened after reciting the ‘status window’ alone in the morning.
Nothing happened.
I calmly pulled out a notebook from my arms with one hand and grabbed a quill on the table with the other.
My goals were to survive and return home, not to save or conquer this world.
*
And really, I just stayed in my room and studied.
Hyeonta came to the novel and wondered what he was doing, but he overcame it with the will to go home and cook kimchi fried rice on an iron plate with his family.
The eyes of the children who came in from time to time to take care of my snacks and herbal teas were very bright.
It seemed that Canael had just told something.
When the children made eye contact with me, or when I smiled because I was shy, their faces turned red and they left the room later.
“Oh, my waist.”
Still, I thought it would be a little different because it was the prince’s body, but it was just like the original me, when I sat in the same posture for a long time, my muscles tensed up.
I slowly got up from my seat and walked towards the window.
I was thinking of solving stretching and vitamin D synthesis in one queue.
“uh?”
But there was someone outside the window.
Several people moved out of the glass where the back of the building was clearly visible.
My room was at the end of the hallway, at the eastern end of Juliet Palace, and they were located at the western end of the palace, so it was difficult to see the person’s face properly.
There seemed to be about five or six people in the group, two of them fighting with weapons in their hands.
Now that I see, the back of the Juliet Palace was used as a dance hall.
I heard the clash of the visor, the sword and the sword.
– Kagang!
I was startled involuntarily at the sharp sound that pierced my ears. The sword seemed to have been broken during the battle.
The one who cut the opponent’s sword in two held the sword with his left hand and looked down at his right hand and clenched and opened his fist.
Then he slowly raised his head.
His and my eyes met.
“Ugh.”
I quickly pulled the curtains and stepped back from the window.
It just seemed instinctive to do so.
Looking back, it felt like he was still looking at me.
Is it my mistake to feel that our eyes met? However······. The eyes we met were so intense.
Even though he was far away, his gaze was so clear that it was clear that he saw me and nothing else.
“Prince?”
“Oh, what a surprise!”
I almost jumped out of my seat.
Twice in a row, my heart was pounding like crazy.
“sorry. I knocked several times and there was no response, so I came in worried.”
“No, it’s fine.”
Rather, Benjamin was quite surprised by my reaction.
I got a little embarrassed and cleared my throat.
“Hey, I was just looking outside. I didn’t know there was a gym.”
“It was. Behind the Juliet Palace is an outdoor dance hall dedicated to the imperial family. His Majesty the Crown Prince sometimes fights during this time.”
prince? Is Eunseo someone other than the Crown Prince, whom Eunseo always curses at?
So is there a prince among the people out there?
As if reading curiosity in my eyes, Benjamin continued to speak calmly.
“Yes, the one outside is His Majesty Prince Cedric Lister. He is the first prince of the Empire and the only imperial grandson, who will shine like the sun. Romero’s Palace, in front of Juliet’s Palace, is the residence of His Majesty’s Majesty…”
Cedric Lister. The first prince of the empire, the only imperial grandson, who will shine like the sun.
If so, the prince will soon become the crown prince.
Toegye Gong’s main male actor was nicknamed ‘Seregi’.
He had such a plaque because the first letter of his name was ‘three’. Sereggi, Cedric. A very simple puzzle was put together in an instant in my head.
Then, perhaps, the person who made eye contact with me a while ago…
“The Prince is also in charge of the Juliet Palace. This is because the royal family who lived in Romero Palace from generation to generation also controlled the Juliet Palace. If the Prince wishes, we can arrange a meeting with His Majesty.”
“No, thanks.”
I replied hurriedly. Benjamin seemed to become more talkative when the prince’s story came out.
It was this morning that I promised not to get involved with the Crown Prince, no, now he’s the prince.

Of course, it would be difficult to get to know each other as long as you live next door, but from the first day, I wanted to avoid talking to each other as much as possible.
“I want to live quietly like today.”
“·················ogue.”
At my words, Benjamin made an unexpected face.
It was a natural reaction considering that I had the title of ‘The New Country’s Playboy’.
“I am well aware of my situation. I’m just trying to get along with reading books and chatting with the kids from start to finish. I hope I don’t have many opportunities to meet important people.”
“Prince, if you feel that our service or the facilities of Juliet Palace are lacking……”
“No, not like that.”
Before Benjamin made unnecessary misunderstandings, I cut him off.
“I want to go home alive. If possible, I’ll buy it and it’ll be fine.”
Then he laughed softly. It was sincere.
