Chapter 30 – What Is The Crown Prince Doing?

Among the children in the swordsmanship class, Mary was the girl Bella was particularly interested in.
She was a child who came to her saying that she wanted to learn swordsmanship.

— “Why do you want to learn?”

— “I want to go on an adventure.
I’ll try to get some money, just don’t talk to Father.”

Instead, she had asked to keep it a secret from her father.

Bella later asks Kiehl to pay her back, and she never takes tuition from Mary.
That was why Mary sometimes came to Bella and chatted with her…

— “So, when Bwen grows up, he’s going to have a restaurant.”

She also told her various rumors about the village children.

“What kind of person do you want to marry, Bella?”

At the same time, she questioned her, as if she was going to give her a match.

— “I think Kiehl’s is really mature.”

Above all Bella, she was pretty friendly with Kiehl.

“Let’s call Mary first and ask her in detail.”

And so, she invited Mary to the mansion and she asked what Jenkins was talking about.

“So this year, we’re going to have a small summer festival in the village.”

Mary came to the parlor of the mansion where she had never been and explained in a pretty excited voice.

“Each house cooks or makes clothes and sells them…”

Meanwhile, Bella just folded her arms and listened quietly.

“Bwen is selling carrot cake.”

“Uh.
If it’s already a carrot.”

Everyone frowned at the thought of the carrots Bwen brought to them last year.

“Are they all preparing food?”

“Some houses make embroidery.
Sebastian said he would do a puppet show with dolls he made herself.”

“Everyone is active.”

“Actually, our village has a magic tower, so it was a bit lively, but because there was a strange wizard, they stopped visiting.”

“Well…”

“Though these days, a lot of mercenaries and merchants have come to visit, so the atmosphere in the village has improved a lot.”

It was because of Iwer’s potion.

Because there was no drug that asserts that level of performance.
Thanks to this, the mansion sometimes smelled disgusting of Iwer’s blood.

“Isn’t that all thanks to me?”

“Actually, it’s hard to say that it’s the Miss’ virtue…”

Bella heard Jenkins’ grumbling in one ear and let it out through the other.

“Let’s prepare something fun too!”

She didn’t like it very much.

“Well.
All we have to do is visit Daisy’s festival.”

Listening to it, it seems like every household is preparing one by one, although it was just annoying to be bothered.

Then, Kiehl smiled brightly at her.

“I think it’s good that we can all do it together.”

“However, our mansion has nothing to do with it.”

She then glanced at Zanbar and said, “A circus would be fine.
There are leopards and bears I know.”

Zanbar was the first to stick his tongue out.

“I don’t want to.”

“Then, Iwer will cook hard…”

On the other hand, Iwer also had a relaxed expression until now, but in an instant, the muscles in her face hardened.

“Me! There’s something I want to try!”

“What?”

Iwer didn’t really want to try anything, but if she didn’t throw anything here, it seemed like she was going to spend a lot of money on her own.

“Uh… um.
I hope the Miss likes it.”

Iwer worked her head as far as she could.
For the first time since she came to the mansion, she felt like she was thinking about something.

‘Embroidery… Puppet show…’

With a brilliant idea, Iwer raised her hand.

“Let’s do a play!”

For a moment, everyone was silent.
They all had the same idea.

‘Are you crazy?’

They could neither cut off Iwer nor swear at her in front of the dear guest, Mary.
She seemed to think about something, and she added a word.
“That would be great.
There are no houses with plays yet.”

“Aha.
Why not?”

It was because everyone didn’t want to.

“How about the fairy tales Kiehl talked about? It’s the first I’ve heard of it, so it would be interesting.”

“That’s it…! Do that!”

Iwer stabbed Kiel in the side and tried to embrace him.

“Master, will it be fun?”

She spoke softly in a voice only he could hear.

“The Young Master is the prince, and the Young Lady is a princess.”

“….”

Kiehl slowly looked at Bella’s side profile.
A story that Bella had told him at his bedside when he was quite young flashed through his memory.

Stories of countless princesses and princes.

…And, a kiss that always leads to a happy ending.

“Let’s just go to Daisy…”

Before Bella could make up her mind to go to Daiser, Kiehl’s grabbed her hand.

“Let, let’s do a play.”

“…Uh?”

Bella looked at Kiehl with a bewildered look.

‘Is the Crown Prince doing a play?’

He doesn’t like to go anywhere, he doesn’t like to be noticed, and he suddenly wants to do a play in front of people?

“I want to try it at an opportunity like this.”

“That’s right!”

As Kiehl blushed calmly from embarrassment, Iwer smiled slyly.

‘Something is awkward…’

When she continued not answering, Kiehl lowered his eyebrows and asked in a voice of disappointment.

“Bella… do you not like it?”

‘It’s so sad when he says it with a pretty expression…’

“No, let’s do it.
It’ll be fun.”

At that, an answer will appear automatically.

Seeing so, they all got together in the parlor and talked.

“The Snow White story is rejected because there are seven dwarfs.”

“Some of the children in the swordsmanship class want to participate.”

“Anyway, I think it would be better to have fewer characters.”

Bella tried her best not to show she didn’t want to, though kept making excuses, and she found the right one.

“Then, how about Cinderella?”

There were only five of them, including the stepmother and sisters, Cinderella and the Prince.
She thought it would be good to have the village children do things like fairies and mice that help Cinderella.

“Not bad.”

Immediately, she quickly wrote the role on paper and folded it.

“Come on, let’s pick a role.”

“…Yes?”

“It should be drawn fairly.”

“Oh, no, no.
Even if you look at your age, the young lady should be Cinderella.”

“Why, what if Mary also wants to be Cinderella?”

“Why is Mary the main character! The owner of the mansion is the main character!”

It seemed like everyone didn’t want everyone to, although even Jenkins agreed with Iwer.
He added, “Okay, the Miss should be the main character.”

‘I don’t like to have a lot of lines…’

“Isn’t that the story of Cinderella being bullied by her stepmother?”

Jenkins secretly asked Kiehl, but the Young Master who had been all quiet could be heard loudly and clearly.

“Are you going to torture me right now?”

“It’s a play prepared at the mansion, but still, the protagonist should be our young lady and the young master.”

At the same time, Bella pondered.

‘…No, can’t Iwer be the main character?’

The Iwer full of imagination.

‘It may be impossible for young people to watch.’

She didn’t like a lot of dialogue, and she didn’t like being bullied.

‘Should she just call the bear?’

Can’t she just call the bear? It’s their family’s mascot.
Then, a good trick passed through Bella’s head.

“Okay.
Let’s do Sleeping Beauty instead.”

‘Because I’ll be lying down.’

As if no one had noticed Bella’s intentions, all of them nodded.

And so, Bella took on the role of Sleeping Beauty, and her prince Kiehl came to rescue her.

Jenkins portrayed the witch, and the children of the swordsmanship class as the witch’s minions.

Iwer made a fuss about the Queen, saying she wanted to try it, so they made her the princess’s mother.
And, Zanbar was the King.

Most of the screenplay went to sparring, so Bella only had to direct it while watching Kiehl and the children fight.

“I can’t go any further than this.”

“Jenkins.
You should speak more like a witch.”

To be honest, she had more fun as a director.

“Guys, how can you swing your sword like that, no matter how much you practice?”

“We worked hard.”

Maybe it’s because they’ve never held a sword except when fighting Kiehl.
The children of the swordsmanship class answered Bella’s nagging jokingly.

“What are you working hard on? It seems like you’re dancing.”

“If you do it like a real fight, we might get hurt!”

“Hmm, you won’t.”

No matter how much they use their sword, they won’t get hurt… No, she thought Kiehl would win even if they all fought.

“Kiehl usually competes more individually.
But he can’t do it because of the play, so you guys have to work harder.”

Bella thought of Kiehl, who was begging to fight without being bored.

“Kiehl loves sparring so much, right?”

She didn’t hear his small sigh.

After Kiehl defeated all the monsters, she lay down quietly, got up, and uttered a few lines before it was all over.

‘It’s a total piece of cake.’

Bella was lying down when she saw Kiehl approaching.

“The Prince who defeated the witch’s minions found the Princess at the top of the castle.”

Since they didn’t want to say each other’s lines, Iwer made most of the progress with commentary.

Meanwhile, Kiehl hesitated for a moment, then parted his lips.

“I’ll save you.”

It was his first line.
He looked cute when he came, with his face blushing as if he was ashamed of the lines himself.

‘Look, a play like this has to be done by a person born for it.’

His blonde hair fluttered in the sky and slowly approached Bella.
When he was young, she thought he was just pretty.

‘If he grows up, I’m sure he will make many women cry.’

Even in the novel, there was such a setting.

Kiehl, who lay down and looked up, felt more mature than he looked.
Bella got up naturally as she pushed his chest as he approached.

“Oh, Miss.
The Young Master hasn’t even kissed you yet, so why do you wake up?”

“You just have to pretend to be it, right.”

“You have to make this lively!”

“Then, you can go and do it.
Let’s say I did it now.”

Kiehl sighed and recited the next line.

“Princess, please marry me.”

Even though she knew it was just a play, Bella felt unfamiliar with Kiehl’s words and hands.

“Yes,” she said, sitting on the bed, leaning against his chest, she just blinked blankly.

“The Miss is not very good at acting.
Practice a little more…”

“It’s better not to say the line asking to get married here.
Just read it as a commentary by Iwer.”

At that moment, Kiehl asked Bella in a low voice.

“Why?”

“From the point of view of a princess, it’s the first time she’s seen the Prince, so how can I get married right away? It’s too unrealistic.”

Kiehl raised the corner of his lips slightly and grabbed Bella’s hand.

‘…She’s never made such a point before.’

It was because he wanted to play as few prince-ly roles as possible.

‘You said to practice it like the real thing.’

He had been practicing sparring so hard.
The situation was just right with the timing of the kissing.
Kiehl tried to hide his disappointment and comforted himself.

‘You won’t be able to avoid it on that day, anyway.’
