“Oh. I forgot the most important thing.”

“yes?”

the most important thing? What is it? Surely you’re not trying to kick them out as smugglers, right?

While I calmed down my fluttering heart, as I was so surprised because it was my first time meeting the royal family, the prince handed out something very familiar from his bosom… that is to say, ＜Peter Perry＞ Volume 1, Fairy Forest.

“Please give me an autograph.”

“… that, yes?”

“A signature. I want you to roughly write it down to George, Mary, and Edmund.”

“Ah, I see.”

With trembling hands, on the inside of the book, I slowly, in a daze, scribbled whatever I wanted. But oh, after writing it, this is not English?

I couldn’t help but freeze when I saw the product of the great King Sejong… that is, Hangeul, reflected proudly in the eyes of the Crown Prince.

Oh, how could you make such a mistake!

“What letter is this?”

“Ah, that, sorry. dismissal. These are characters from the country I came from, no, Joseon. I will rewrite it if you want.”

“No, you don’t have to. It must be as rare as this.”

As if satisfied, the crown prince nodded and said,

no really? Can I?

“Rather than that, it’s Joseon… I vaguely remember hearing about it. After all, I’ve been to Japan before. I came from there with a tattoo of a dragon on my arm. Do you want to see it?”

“Oh no! All right.”

is it? Prince George lowered his arm, which he was about to roll up, as if he was very sorry.

What is this person… is the one I’m looking at really the Crown Prince of the British Empire? Isn’t it just an immature one?

Looking at Prince George with bewildered eyes, the Crown Prince smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Please don’t be so nervous. This, the position of the Duke of York is very uncomfortable for me as well.”

“Ah, yes.”

“Perhaps you know, but I wasn’t meant to be the Crown Prince. It belonged to his deceased brother. Even Mary, now my wife.”

I briefly recalled a story I had heard from Mr. Miller before.

Originally, the crown prince died suddenly before the wedding, so his younger brother took over.

The first time I heard it, it was just a royal family, so there is still a criminal intake system.

“It’s an arranged marriage that wasn’t planned, but rather, that’s why I want to be even better for Mary.”

“Ugh. That is a very good word.”

But what does that have to do with me? When I thought so, George smiled and said.

“But since that kind of Mary likes you the most and you’re the only one who shows her a smile, as a husband you can’t help but feel jealous.”

no, what am i supposed to do with that?

“Hmm. Look, I’m just an ordinary writer.”

“You know. But well, maybe you’ll understand this feeling when you get married later. Isn’t that what being a human being is like? First of all, I have Edmund these days, so I often see a similar smile.”

“That’s… fortunately. By the way, Edmund?”

“Originally, I was going to name it Edward. It was supposed to come from his late brother’s nickname, Eddy. But after watching ＜Dawnbringer＞, it seemed like Edmund would be better.”

So, Cha Cha Cha Cha changed the name of the king? That’s nothing else, watching ＜Dawnbringer＞?

I don’t know what kind of crazy thing this is.

Isn’t this some kind of hidden camera?

“Well, so… that’s what I want to say.”

After driving me into a panic, Prince George took a cigar out of his pocket, cut it open, and lit it nicely.

I can’t get used to this guy’s cigarette smell even after living in England for several years…

“I want you to be my friend.”

“······yes?”

Then, suddenly, this immature royalty threw a nuclear bomb.

what is this again? Is the next king of the British Empire just friends with a novelist?

No, well, I know roughly that this noble couple are my fans.

“dismissal. I’m sorry, but as I said before, I’m Korean, no, I’m Korean.”

“so?”

“I am not British, and I am not particularly aristocratic. But he’s a friend.”

“I wasn’t meant to be king anyway.”

“No, dick.”

Seeing that he pushes so well, it seems that the king’s lumber is right. But the problem is that you are using that talent to force yourself to use it.

When I was so frustrated, Prince George smiled and shook his head before saying,

“Ah, what do you mean? Grandma is ruling with such absolute power, so I’ll only see that blue blood.”

“No, what.”

“But for me, that kind of gaze is just burdensome. Just like I used to be as a naval officer, traveling the world, collecting stamps, hunting and reading.”

“Ummm… But if you’re a royal descendant, don’t you get some education to maintain some dignity?”

“Is Joseon like that?”

well? I came from there, but do you know the life of the Joseon royal family? I was just a commoner in Korea.

Prince George, who was smiling, shook his head and exhaled cigar smoke.

“At least I have never been taught that way. But do you know what the tutors say after his older brother suddenly died and he became the crown prince? Wouldn’t they give you some wrong words, and wouldn’t your intellectual level be that of a railroad porter…”

“Ah, hahahaha. Ha ha ha ha ha.”

“That’s why I can’t help but like your writing.”

“Uh, um. yes. I see what you mean.”

My writing is said to be easy to read.

Well, it’s just that my English isn’t that advanced, so I’m following suit.

“Still, being friends, honestly, that’s too much to say. I am bewildered.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter if you refuse if you feel burdened. It doesn’t matter if I send you a signed book from time to time like this. Give a big reward.”

“No, I can’t.”

I said at once.

“It is obviously not polite to refuse such an unusual opportunity. wait a minute.”

I got up for a moment and went into the kitchen. And Mr. Miller opened a collection of his prized brand whiskeys.

If Mr. Miller found out, he’d be furious, but if he was the Crown Prince, he’d say he couldn’t help it.

Wouldn’t it be enough if I filled it up with my own money anyway? I’m not sure how expensive it is.

“I don’t normally drink alcohol, but wouldn’t it be okay to have a drink or two on a good day like this?”

“Hoo. This, I didn’t know the distribution would be this big.”

“Originally, I, Lee. It’s a style where you put it on fire when you do it.”

Although it was mainly during Gacha.

Anyway, the same goes for Prince George, who is now in front of me. I didn’t even turn the gacha, but it’s like a limited tier 1 network rolled in front of my eyes. oh i can’t stand this

Of course, that doesn’t mean I want something special or anything like that.

They say that power is like the sun, and it burns up if you get too close.

I’m just a novelist, so I don’t care about that part, I’m satisfied with it if I get a good thing from time to time while maintaining a moderate friendship.

Yes, just thinking that I have a big brother with a lot of money made me feel a little more at ease.

It’s not like I’m a big deal, so I’m not going to do things like business-business collusion, and there’s no need to worry too much about it.

As I was talking, it seemed that even the Crown Prince in front of me was not the kind of person who would listen to such an impure thing straight away.

Peeling each other through the strong whiskey, little by little, the feelings that Prince George, and possibly his father, Prince Edward, must also be feeling.

burden right away.

Queen Victoria, who is too great, and the burden on her successors to succeed her is no joke.

Certainly I only know Queen Victoria, and I don’t know much about the kings after that.

Um, but how talented are you to be so burdened? I’d love to see it.

“So, as much as possible, even if I and Obama inherit the throne, I plan to get rid of troublesome political affairs as much as possible. Kings of other countries stir up competitions just by looking at democracy, but to be honest, I have no intention of living in politics that makes my hair fall like that.”

“It is a good choice. If you work hard, who knows? You must have a lot of money, it’s best to just do what you want to do comfortably.”

“That’s what I mean! Now I meet someone who tells me what I want to hear!”

Maybe it’s because I’m a bit tired, but after talking openly like that, somehow I feel like I’m getting drunk faster than usual.

so.

Somehow, we were able to talk casually.

“No, that’s what I mean. Why the hell did you kill Peter there? Do you know how much my wife cried and cried?”

“Well, you say something that makes me feel deja vu. so yes? Im-pong-to is there, Im-pp-to-ga!”

“It’s not too devastating. Does it make you feel good to hear people’s hearts like that?”

“Yes, of course. I offended this man! You can control this person’s mind! This is, in Chinese characters, it is written as emotion, meaning ‘I moved my emotions.’”

“Heh heh, it’s so touching (Sensational).”

something about my writing.

“To be honest, I am really disappointed in Your Excellency, Crown Prince. No, how can you use my writings for a wedding and not give me a sponsorship fee?”

“That’s right. After all, my husband and I have promoted your writing for free, so how can you think of taking a copyright fee for it?”

“Ah, if you accept such things one by one, strange people will come out as secondary creations! Like an erotic doujinshi!”

“What the hell is that talking about!?”

Like talking about old weddings.

“Come to think of it, you write incredibly fast. Do you have any hobbies?”

“well. Writing is a hobby in itself.”

“oh my god. Try some hobbies elsewhere. how about hunting? huh? Even if I look like this, I’m a master of hunting guns. Come to Norfolk (the easternmost county in East England) sometime. Come and stay at the York villa for a few days and compete in hunting.”

“Hmm. How dare you dare to say such a thing in front of the people of the far end. good! Even if I look like this, I am a person who has hit all 20 shots when I am in the army, so if I fire 20 shots!”

Talking about coming over to each other’s house.

Actually more than I thought, Prince George was a very easy-going person for a person who would become the next king.

Hmm, go ahead.

The easy-going royal family, the easy-going royal family who were not originally meant to be kings.

Do you think you’ll come up with something exciting?

“Your Excellency, Crown Prince.”

“Ugh? something?”

“The copyright I mentioned earlier.”

“Ugh.”

“Are you willing to pay me back in some other way?”

“huh? with what.”

therefore.

“Do you have any intention of appearing in a novel?”

I want you to pay me back with your body.
