Yes, that’s right. Blue ink and a pen. They may seem like ordinary ink and pen, but they’re enchanted with a very special spell. Watch this… dip the pen into the blue ink… and then rewrite over the already written text in this book……8e7aa89581126d4d

Hehe, that’s right. From now on, I’ll use this ink and pen to fix the story that the prince has so rudely altered. A mere character like the prince saying and doing things I don’t even know about… it’s truly, truly horrifying. As the narrator and storyteller, as someone who must deliver a perfect story to you all, I simply cannot tolerate such unexpected disruptions. Occasionally, some great authors say, “Even as an author, you can’t fully control your characters! Sometimes, as you craft a story, the characters come to life on their own and start speaking and acting independently! Paradoxically, it’s when the characters grab the author by the hair and drag them along that great stories are born!”8c641d027ed1baf6

Hmm, so first… let’s change the narrative style a bit.040ce8018fc911a0

Until now, I’ve been telling the story under the assumption that we know everything about the prince’s past, future, and innermost thoughts. But sadly, due to this small anomaly, I can no longer know the prince’s past, future, or thoughts…… So instead, I’ll introduce a wizard. From now on, the story will unfold through this wizard’s eyes.b7dcc43f931d2291

What’s important is the 244d8e16e0 fate of the story. The protagonist, the 76ec2d3ece prince, must prick ef8c00af55 his finger on d64ea75f62 a needle on 29c3b5be7c his twenty-seventh birthday, 7c0abed703 fall into a dea25e9995 deep and peaceful 6814e285b0 sleep for a 75bfed5765 hundred years, and adae56d433 then awaken with 97c270897d a kiss from c46fcdae4b a beautiful princess 346c1d16d5 to live happily 60838977ed ever after.

Here stands 65b6566c85 a wizard.c3d9dcce2188277f

He is a wizard who never forgets a grudge. If he isn’t invited to a birthday party, if he’s excluded, he will surely show up and cast a terrifying curse. Yes, he’s a bit petty. He’s no magnanimous figure. He’s a little timid… but he’s consistent, persistent, and meticulous.64c95e888919a73e

So now, this wizard is loitering in front of the royal palace, waiting to see the results of the curse he cast twenty-seven years ago. He’s persistent and meticulous, after all. He needs to see it with his own eyes to be satisfied. To ensure no one recognizes him as the wizard from back then, he’s disguised as a beggar, wearing tattered rags. His disguise is meticulous…… I told you, he’s that kind of person.141abaa79fbf15c3

Normally, the guards wouldn’t f2d72499fc let a beggar loiter 96ed6e776c in front of the 87cb5a1457 palace gates. But today 4f1da04d4d was a da0706fd84 special day. It was 56e9a0a159 the day 0cbe4dafd7 the kingdom’s ce53cef2f5 only prince be93ea395b turned twenty-seven. On days like 90987b7e6c this, all sorts 41b662d472 of poor folk 81d21983c9 gather around the 5b30befed6 palace gates, hoping 1a5cd833da to get leftover 6ecccb3165 food. The guards are a dfef13cd64 bit more lenient. They frowned at the 2c69ccdbfb disguised wizard but didn’t 2faa04d4c7 chase him away. Thanks to that, the 83110d3fe4 wizard could loiter freely a520e35b73 in front of the 1a929202b8 palace, waiting for the e9977d1070 curse to take effect.5e5cbd5c586f14f6

But the expressions on everyone’s faces were not particularly bright. Yes, it was because of the curse. If the prince pricked his finger on a needle and fell into a hundred-year slumber… what would happen to the kingdom? Would the entire kingdom fall asleep with him? For a hundred years? And when the promised hundred years passed and the prince awoke, would the entire kingdom wake up with him? Could that even happen? People… can’t sleep for a hundred years, can they? A hundred-year sleep… isn’t that just another name for death?cb6da5200c926a8c

At the 8536b201aa captain’s frantic f1ad3ff4b9 shout, the 320c4462f0 guards snapped 9aeb87b8bb to attention. They began 8965e66503 hurriedly closing 40e01de232 the gates 9442929367 of the c1c282b2f7 outer wall. As the gap 7dbc6375c8 between the gates 43cfc939e3 narrowed, the prince’s 176691010f breathing grew heavier. Just as 5c56ab0329 the gates 7138186665 were about 8f2dadf6da to close, 375a89abba leaving only ca0efdb7a4 enough space 6e9136e9ff for a 6e511be4bf grown man 82403c5926 to squeeze 90b02707b8 through, the 2b4335677c prince leaned 5d592ac773 close to b00421e4ef his horse’s e365a67502 ear and 9bc906e644 whispered something. The white horse leaped 64feaad051 forward with incredible force, 26160e8477 its golden mane fluttering a5bed00a7b like wings in the b3cbb17704 air. Fearing they might be eb1545b1ea trampled by the horse’s 52eadc53c0 hooves, the guards screamed daa4c050f1 and scrambled away from b24b8f78a8 the gates. In that instant, 231562a1ea the prince and 46a71b3bf6 his horse slipped 999bd85895 through the narrow 4f690590f2 gap and dashed 1ff97a83f2 out.aed0eab1bc99360b

“Open them! Open the gates now!” the captain cursed and shouted. First, he cursed at them to close the gates, and now he was cursing at them to open them. Honestly, these knights are so uncouth… Even training a dog has its limits, don’t you think?b4dcbd759361c6d0

But what 93ae0b0636 could the 4541416d8c guards do? When the high-and-mighty knight 9bd22d9292 barks an order, they afe6500239 must obey. With dazed 87e3fd51e2 expressions from aa565100a2 the sudden 598ac99e5d chaos, the 44a0ec1841 poor guards 7812789368 groaned and 6ba409f0a9 struggled to 2301590415 open the 098efd7e2d gates again.

Unable to catch up to the prince, the most hot-tempered of the ten knights drew his bow and arrow. Of course, he had no intention of hitting the prince.

His arrow… its tip was sharp… needle-like… The arrow grazed the prince’s hair, barely missing his earlobe…a9e5a298a029d7ce
