336 Happily ever after

Once upon a time, there was a sickly prince trapped in a huge castle. The prince was often lonely, having no one to rely on but the old queen.

One day, the sickly prince overheard the old queen talking with her noble family. The noble family offered to keep the sickly prince safe, for his existence was a threat to some bad members of the royal family. However, no one could protect the sickly prince better than the old queen regardless of her safety.

Therefore, the sickly prince thought he should run away… and so he did.

On his venture out of the castle, the prince heard a stray cat. He followed it, only for the cat to lead him to an unused area in the deeper part of the castle. In that part of the castle resided a terrifying monster no one had ever known about.

The prince gazed at the huge shadow that stretched near his feet.

In fear of ending up inside the monster’s stomach, the prince tried to run away. However, because he was sick, he didn’t get far. The only thing he could do was look back as he listened to the echoes of the monster approaching.

“I’m scared,” whispered the prince, shutting his eyes and accepting his fate.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, instead of a scary monster, the person who came out of the darkness was a plump servant girl. The prince peeked through his eyes, only to see that the big shadow stretching over his feet previously was simply the shadow of a… frog, leaping right beside her. (3)

And that was how the sickly prince and the little servant’s friendship started, along with her animal kingdom.

Penny read the children’s book, which she found questionable in many points. She wondered how this could be a children’s book when some parts of it were honestly brutal. But then again, she didn’t focus on that. Instead, she focused on the fact that this book reminded her of a person’s story.

To be precise, her and Zoren’s story.
