The Prince's Revenge
04: Move

“Capekyaaa”

Arriving at the apartment, Mysha immediately laid her body on the mattress. Egon, who had gotten used to the scene, without saying a word, walked up to Mysha and sat down beside her.

“Are you not tired?” Ask Mysha.

“Not”

“At least?”

Egon shrugged his shoulders.

“Hmm..” Mysha understood the meaning.

Egon is the one who always forces himself to be the best person, both in terms of physical strength and knowledge.

Almost all of his time, he used to do important things. To the extent that, he sometimes forgets to take his time, even to rest though. For that reason, he became a figure who did not easily feel tired. In fact, if Mysha could think presumptuously, Egon's current job, might just be a level joke for Egon.

Of course, Mysha also understood that Egon's work like this was not good for her. But, he also hesitated if Egon could get a more suitable job besides this. Had it not been for Egon needing money, he would definitely not have told him to do this.

Not to mention, as a prince, to a lesser extent, he would definitely feel his pride being tarnished with his daily life like this. It would be very unfortunate if the ability he has also faded because it is not honed.

“Mysha..”.

“Hmm?”

“I was thinking of renting a place myself for me”

“Huh?”

“I don't want to burden you more than this.” Egon looked at Mysha's brown eyes deeply. As if giving a signal that his speech is not just nonsense.

Mysha who never expected to hear this so soon, paused for a moment before again asking Egon, “You don't like it here?” Ask without thinking.

‘Stupid!’ Mysha cursed herself who could not hold her mouth. Though he understood, the reason Egon moved was not about whether or not Egon lived with him.

All this time, he felt that he was an important person to Egon. Egon was not a person who could trust just anyone. Hence, when Egon gave up her new life to Mysha, Mysha became arrogant and wanted the man to stay with her, at least until she completely understood her new world.

But he forgot one thing. Although technology and civilization in his world were different, for a prince and a knight like Egon, he would be faster to adapt if he did it himself.

Mysha's heart began to rumble, as if to signal that the tomorrow she was waiting for would never return. He thought that the fun things with Egon had just begun. Apparently, he was wrong. The story may not start.

Mysha then lowered her gaze. Shame about his stupidity. His chest felt tight when he realized that he was the one who actually felt too hopeful for the man beside him.

“Mysha..” Egon looked puzzled as Mysha's countenance showed sadness. He did not know what to do to make the girl lose her grief.

Egon had gone through a lot of bad things in his first life. Even in his second life, his heart and mind were filled with darkness, so he never thought about how he should respond to the other person when they showed his emotions openly.

The girls who approached him all this time, always had another purpose behind the sweet treatment he showed. They clearly wanted to manipulate Egon by showing their false emotions. That made Egon decide not to care about a single girl in his life.

So did Mysha.

Egon's first impression of the girl was not much different. Although, her tiny body and the gentle gaze of her eyes had made her waver. Mysha's way of blatantly admiring her, made her limit herself from getting to know Mysha any further. Even after receiving a lot of help, Egon remained wary of getting too involved with Mysha.

‘If Mysha becomes the ruler, perhaps she will become the ruler loved by her people because of her sincerity and her open character,’ thought.

He began to dream, if Mysha was in his world, maybe there would be many nobles who wanted to marry him. Perhaps he too, would at least give her the title of baron.

And perhaps, Egon fell in love with her.

Unfortunately, in reality, now Egon was not in his world. He even felt that he was no longer himself. Which means, do not think of falling in love. Even for his own future, he did not know what would happen.

“Where will you stay?” After silence enveloped them, Mysha finally asked him a question.

“On the floor 19’”

“Hah?”

“Actually, I want to rent on the same floor as you, but they say full”

“You mean? You moved upstairs?”

“Iya. Would I rather wait for the next room to empty?”

“...” Mysha was dumb. Trying to digest Egon's words in his brain.

“Hahahaha” The sad atmosphere that had filled Mysha's mind, disappeared instantly. Mysha continued to laugh while holding her stomach which began to hurt. It was not the slightest bit unthinkable for him that Egon would move that close to him.

Seeing Mysha laughing, Egon felt relieved. It seemed like he did not have to bother looking for a way to comfort Mysha.

“Sorry, I thought you'd move away from here. It turned out to be only one floor” while wiping the tears that were at the end of her eyes, Mysha also tried to stop her laughter.

Who would have thought that Egon would move that close, if he talked about it with a serious face, as if he were willing to move abroad?

Mysha laughed again, laughing at her stupid feelings that thought she was going to lose Egon. In fact, he almost shed tears that would probably make him look even more stupid.

“You all right?” As he asked, Egon watched Mysha, trying to figure out which part of her words made the girl laugh like that.

“No. Nope. I've never felt burdened by you. In fact I'm glad you're here.” Mysha said with a big smile. He stopped himself from laughing anymore.

Egon smiled at him too.

“You don't need to feel bad, anyway both are more fun, ‘kan?” continued.

Mysha's words were like deadly magic. His mind was full just by hearing it.

Mysha grabbed her hand to Egon's hair that was beside her ear, while still smiling widely. He flicked the black hair back, admiring the man in front of him who looked fragile and perfect at the same time.

Egon had gone through a lot of bad things in his world, thus making Mysha want to protect him. He wanted to be the person Egon could trust. Egon wants to be happy without having to tarnish himself, as he does in the novel.

That was what he thought before Egon gently swept his lips at Mysha.

Seriate.
