“Haha! Hahahoho!”
Since it's just our secret, I'll decline.
I laughed out loud to break the awkwardness, and my senior straightened up from leaning forward.
“What about food?”
“Of course, not yet.”
“Then let’s do it together.”
As I nodded, my senior called the attendant over and gave him various instructions.
“The maid...”
There was a hint of worry in the senior's handsome face.
“There was no one who was not touched by the Prime Minister’s hand.”
“I don’t think it’ll matter, since Shish probably doesn’t want anyone to know I’m here.”
“...Is that so?”
He neither confirmed nor denied.
“And as long as I eat my meals regularly, I don’t need anyone to wait on me.”
Looking at it, it seems like someone set it up. It's easy to take a bath, and the clothes... The clothes are a bit difficult to put on. There's a dress here that's too flimsy.
“But you still have to get used to ordering people around.”
Although the tone was gentle, it felt a bit forced. Is it just my imagination?
First of all, why should I get used to ordering people around?
Knock knock.
The meal arrived with a familiar knock. Even though I had a full breakfast, my mouth was watering.
The main dish for lunch was meat. Breakfast was fish, so it was a bit disappointing.
“Senior, thank you for providing me with a place to stay.”
“Thank you?”
“Can I go outside the palace?”
The senior didn't answer.
This senior?
“Senior? Excuse me? Senior?”
Finally, I put down the knife and grabbed the arm of the senior sitting next to me and shook it. He stubbornly cut the meat with the knife.
"Don't pretend you didn't hear me. Hey, senior? Can you answer me?"
Only when I got up from my seat did my senior slowly raise his head.
“Why do you want to keep me locked up in the palace? What do you gain from it?”
“Have you already forgotten that I said I liked you?”
“Ugh, ugh.”
I got goosebumps even though there was nothing in my mouth.
I thought we were on the same side, but he was actually the strongest enemy!
“I told you, I liked you even before I was Crown Prince.”
This time, I remained silent because of his extremely serious appearance.
“I’ll let you roam free, but only a little longer.”
Let's take a step back for a moment, because if we keep digging into things, we might end up making a mistake.
I sat down pretending to be satisfied and started cutting the meat.
“Are you good at table manners?”
“I learned it.”
“To whom?”
“From Shish.”
“Yes...”
As the senior nods his head, his silver hair sways.
“Come to think of it, I don’t know anything about how my junior has been doing here.”
Tiyongtiyongtiyongtiyong!
Red Alert warns you not to speak!
“Me? Nothing special.”
I tried to brush it off, but my senior just chuckled as if it was impossible.
“If you don’t tell me, the Prime Minister will misunderstand.”
“Surely... you’re not going to let it be known that I ran away from love...?”
"Yes."
Doesn't this senior know that life is precious?
“Senior, if you keep doing that, you’ll lose your head...!”
“I see I'm still alive in the end?”
This senior?
I was about to say that it was already meaningless, but I just left it alone.
To me, he is perceived more as a senior than as a Crown Prince, but I think seniors are more likely to be perceived as people from this place.
So it would be shocking if I told him that all the rules he knew were broken.
It'll be okay since Shish said he wouldn't kill me... Maybe?
“Why did you come here, junior?”
I have a purpose for coming here.
I brought him here because he said he would die if he stayed outside the book, and to eliminate the possibility of him coming out.
Senior, you can't go out without a key.
The goal is to destroy my unidentified diary in Yuno's desk drawer.
Also, check to see how the kids are doing.
“To get the treasure?”
"What?"
“There is a treasure I have collected in the tower.”
When I spoke seriously, my senior seemed unable to tell if it was real or fake.
Huh, it would take at least a human detector to figure out that I'm lying.
“And I was a little curious.”
“What kind of point?”
“You must know because you’ve read the book, but there’s a female protagonist, right?”
"Yes."
“I miss that kid.”
When I said it half sincerely, my senior didn't seem to doubt it.
Actually, there is one more reason I will never tell anyone.
I want to check the meaning of the dream I often had.
There was one person who appeared in my dreams particularly often. I wanted to meet that person.
“Why do you only give me clothes like this?”
The Rose Palace only had dresses that could never be worn alone, that is, fancy clothes that greatly restricted one's movements.
The senior, who seemed to be worried, sent a maid. There were only two of them, though.
I heard that there is a separate cleaning crew and that they do it at night when I am in the room.
The senior was the Crown Prince, and perhaps it was Shish's tricks that made him disappear just as quickly as he came. In fact, Shish came more frequently.
“[A book written with all the effort of a person who dreamed of becoming a great sage], I’ve been thinking about reading a book like this, senior.”
The next day, the title of the book my senior brought me was comical, unlike its worn cover. It seemed important, so I began reading it carefully.
“Wow, this is so fucking unreadable.”
But this book was more horrible than any of the doctoral thesis papers I read while writing my report.
Reading all this, I couldn't help but think that even my senior was a rather harsh person.
“There’s nothing I can do!”
I stood up, clenching my fists.
“My senior told me not to leave here for the time being.”
If I keep that promise, it won't be me.
There's a maid outside the door, so I go out the window!
I took off my shoes and tied my flowing dress with a curtain cord.
I may look ugly, but no one is looking at me.
From the beginning, I didn't intend to escape.
I need to meet Yuno, but I haven't figured out a good way to get the [Retri Extra Chronicles] out yet.
But if I play around like that, I might get hit in the back of the head.
I definitely know how to get home, and this time I have the support of the Crown Prince, right?
So, this time, I was able to easily decide to come back here, thinking that I would be able to return safely.
It was a huge mistake, though.
The senior I trusted turned out to be my worst enemy.
“I forgot he was one of the obsessive male leads.”
I didn't say that the least turned beggar didn't turn at all.
“I don’t know what my senior is up to.”
I don't know how he will turn out since he is completely out of character.
“You really can’t lock me up...”
Even now, I'm struggling because I've been beaten by Shish.
I didn't want to be the subject of gossip for no reason, like being the Crown Prince's wife or mistress, so all I did after stepping out the window was take a walk in the back garden.
My senior didn't let me leave the building.
I'm originally a homebody, but when I come here, I suddenly start liking going out.
“Wow, there are so many uniquely shaped roses.”
I was worried that if I, the female protagonist, left, the real female protagonist would appear.
But she didn't show up.
Senior, in the case of the Crown Prince, this place is indeed in a novel and has some kind of coercive power.
'I'm trying to keep the original story.'
“Did I appear and then disappear...?”
No! That's not true!
Let's stop thinking about it, it's too scary!
Suddenly, my legs gave out, and I collapsed.
“What are you doing here?”
“Ugh!”
I turned around in surprise and saw a man with red hair like any other rose, standing there.
"Shhh."
As I put my index finger in front of my lips, Shish came and sat down next to me.
“I'm buried deep in roses.”
Rose vines are hanging down on either side of me.
“Do you like the scent of roses? Or do you prefer roses among flowers?”
“I like it, but it’s just a very simple thing.”
Suddenly, an ominous feeling crossed my mind, and I grabbed Shish.
“Don’t change your perfume. The one you have now is perfect.”
"Yes."
Shish hugged me and sat me on his lap. I buried my nose in his neck and sniffed him.
The rose scent is nice, but this scent is the best.
“You like the perfume I use so much, so why don’t you want to live with me? Yes?”
Shish's long fingers tickled my cheek. I pretended not to hear and hugged him, and Shish smiled faintly.
Only after filling my lungs with the fragrance did I leave him.
“Did you give His Highness the Crown Prince another job?”
“I did, but the Crown Prince said he wouldn’t do it and threw it away.”
Wow, your personality is no joke.
“It seems like he ran away from here, too. Is His Highness the Crown Prince doing something wrong?”
Shish started to twist my hair around and around.
"If you come with me, you can go on a daily walk and visit a cafe. Of course, there's a cafe downtown."
As I looked up, Shish's smile deepened.
It's quite refreshing.
“Let’s go to the damned Commander of the Knights, no, His Excellency the Commander of the Knights, only once a year.”
What are you talking about, you punk?
You want me to stay here for a year?
I told my mother that I had run away with a handsome man and would be back in a month, and that I had left a message telling her not to report me missing.
Surprisingly, just the words 'handsome man' would convince my mom.
Because that's how she ran away with my dad.
Even so, thinking back now, I really was out of my mind back then. I followed my senior like I was possessed.
"Yes, once every six months.”
While I was thinking about something else and not answering, Shish was automatically changing the conditions.
“If you wish, I will endure it up to once a month.”
I burst out laughing at the sight of Shish saying he would endure things he hated for me.
Since it's just our secret, I'll decline.
I laughed out loud to break the awkwardness, and my senior straightened up from leaning forward.

“Of course, not yet.”
“Then let’s do it together.”
