Chapter 164 Stars, Moon, and Sun (7)
In the nick of time, the prince's instinctive action was not to reach out and catch Milo.
Instead, he raised his head and unconsciously straightened his chest.
Then, Milo, who had been falling forward, landed gracefully inside the prince's fluffy scarf, peeking out with his little head.
The prince breathed a sigh of relief and was about to carefully lift Milo out and put him back on the ground.
Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw Yi Yi looking at her chest.
And all sorts of children gathered around.
Thinking everyone was worried about Milo, they hurriedly and gently put Milo back on the ground.
After thanking her obediently, Milo wagged her big tail and ran back to Yi Yi's side.
The children all ran to the prince's feet and saw that Milo was safe and sound.
One by one, they awkwardly took turns hugging the prince who was squatting down, and sincerely said, "Your Highness, we're sorry, we shouldn't have disliked you!"
Yi Yi's voice came from ahead: "Touch their heads, the children need to know you apologize, right?"
The prince twitched his nostrils and carefully placed his hand on the tiny heads.
Soon, the parents who had entrusted their children to Yi Yi to play with came to the castle in twos and threes to pick up their children and take them back.
When I finally saw Milo off, the thought that had been swirling in my mind was still: what would it feel like to be buried completely?
That should be great!
She pinched Milo's ear and noticed the prince's gaze.
Yi smiled and waved goodbye to Milo, then turned to him and smiled, "Would you like to chat, Your Highness?"
The furry prince did not answer, but his reaction of standing still and waiting for Yi Yi's reaction showed that he was also looking forward to a conversation.
Yi Yi plopped down on the picnic mat and patted it to signal him to sit down.
The prince obediently sat down.
Before he could even straighten his legs, a hug wrapped around him.
The prince has frozen in shock countless times today.
He was stunned to hear Yi Yi say in a childish, affected voice, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have... been so disrespectful to you."
The word "frivolous" shifts in tone, revealing a strange and tender sentiment.
It only reminded the prince of the soft hand that landed on the most sensitive spot at the base of the horn that night.
The corner immediately turned red.
It even has a tendency to rise like a thermometer soaring, spreading upwards.
Although it was still gray, Yi Yi could tell that it had changed from a bluish gray to a pinkish gray.
There's something strangely cute about it.
I only meant to play a little prank, but I didn't expect him to be so innocent.
Yi Yi smiled and let go of his hand, and then Wang Ziteng stood up abruptly.
Enraged but lacking any real force, he said, "If that's what you're trying to say, then this prince will go back!"
Look, even the prince has come out.
Yi Yi wasn't afraid at all. She chuckled and pulled him back, saying that she really had something important to talk to him about.
Although the prince acted as if he was about to leave, the fact that he was still standing there, given the difference in their strength, was enough to show his true feelings.
Although it took a lot of coaxing and coaxing for Yi Yi to finally sit down again.
After laughing enough, Yi Yi wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes and said, "Before we talk, we should at least get to know each other. My name is Yi Yi, and what is yours, Your Highness?"
“…Ai.” The furry prince fidgeted with his hands and feet, stroking the wrinkles in his clothes, and whispered, “Ai Habsburg.”
Yi Yi's smile froze for a moment, and she frowned slightly.
Coincidence? Or was it intentional on his part?
Forget it, it doesn't seem like an act of amnesia, and now is not the time to dwell on it.
Yi Yi nodded and continued, "I have been bothering you for so long but have never been able to visit His Highness the Habsburg. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
It's just polite talk.
Ai knew that, of course.
He puffed out his cheeks and whispered, "It's okay, I guess Reddy told you not to bother me or something."
He glanced at Yi Yi, then lowered his head again, muttering in a voice that seemed to be audible only to him: "Anyway, you must have gotten lost or somehow ended up here. You were probably kept in the castle by Redito for a month before being sent out of this forest."
"It's okay. If you feel it's wrong to break the contract, just stay for a month and then leave."
As he spoke these words, the prince, who dared not look directly into Yi Yi's eyes, slowly bowed his head, as if he wanted to bury his head in the ground.
Yiyi watched as Aiyi curled up into a ball, muttering to herself, "Anyway, no one will ever like me."
He retorted earnestly, "Yes, there are!"
Ai Yi stopped muttering to herself and turned around, her expression a mixture of surprise and delight.
Yi met his eyes without flinching and said earnestly, "I've felt it during my stay here these past few days; your subjects truly adore you."
Unable to articulate her inner reaction, Ai stood frozen in place for a moment.
Yi Yi then explained with a smile, "The rabbit butler has never been disappointed in you and has been trying to save you! Even though the meals prepared by everyone in the kitchen have been returned untouched by you several times, they still take care of your meals without complaint!"
Yi scratched her cheek and added, "But everyone's a little worried about how little you seem to be eating lately!"
"And the children and everyone else..."
Yi Yi counted on her fingers the people she had met these past few days.
It is undeniable that...
"They all really like Your Highness!"
“Ah, but…” Yi Yi seemed to have suddenly discovered a blind spot as she spoke, “Perhaps it is precisely because you are a prince beloved by your subjects that when the condition for lifting the curse is ‘the true love of another,’ you would choose to turn the other people in the kingdom into non-human creatures?”
Ai Yi was not puzzled as to why Yi Yi knew about the curse.
This is not a secret.
It's something that anyone with a little effort could find out by asking around.
This was the first time he had heard of such an analytical perspective.
Ai stared blankly at Yi Yi, whose gaze held no fear, and had to admit that what she said was actually true.
He blamed the curses of his subjects on himself and could not find a solution for years.
Overwhelmed by such heavy self-blame, I realized that my increasingly unpredictable personality had led to everyone's estrangement...
Do not……
He chose to escape his responsibilities as a ruler, pushing everyone away.
Even so, as soon as I stepped out of the room, I discovered—
Everyone was waiting for him not far away; they didn't leave!
"Yes, everyone who was dragged down by me hasn't given up yet, so why should I be defeated first?"
Yi Yi did not intend to achieve success overnight.
She said all this just to try and get the prince to open up a little.
I didn't expect him to leave the room immediately, but at least I didn't want the door to be locked up so that we wouldn't even have a chance to meet.
That's really hard to win over!
but……
Yi Yi glanced at Ai Yi, who was deep in thought, and smiled slightly: It seems that the result is much better than I imagined!
Moreover, he prepared many lines but didn't use them, so he could think of positive things on his own.
Indeed, the characters in fairy tales are all kind and loving!
Ah, except for the villains.
Compared to the protagonist and his friends, the villains in fairy tales are usually purely evil!
But have I forgotten something?
Yi scratched her head and looked at Ai Yi, who was secretly clenching her huge paws to cheer herself up.
He put aside the thought that something was amiss.
Ah...cute!
