Why am I making such a fuss after just running out for a bit? That’s such a hurtful thing to say…… It’s because I’m a wizard! Wizards are naturally weak in physical strength. Don’t ask why.

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!”eb007e30fb8151cf

……But that’s the case for great authors. I’m just a mere storyteller, repeating and delivering a story that’s already been written… so when something like this happens, I’m utterly flustered.add662b27e9c9dba

Unfortunately, the f10d0e6afe prince has bc8fc3984a gained a 05d0eb60d6 life force 46e5f08031 that I 6da0f3d329 simply cannot 346a768692 handle. But don’t worry, 7382778d0c everyone.

Hmm, so first… let’s change the narrative style a bit.a32f3a931e885b4c

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.40486ba2f1dde4c1

Haha, don’t fa6f2bb833 worry too b2a6c2d3de much, everyone. What’s important e5af94acad isn’t the 15cb324356 narrative style 2e55c4771c or the 0ce35d7471 characters themselves. What’s important is 07d99a457e the fate of 669b5a71aa the story.

Here stands 19444a1b77 a wizard.3d8c27d741f72e6c

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.e65f8f6aaf614b8c

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.a6d249baa434c83d

Normally, the guards wouldn’t 3ee1a2cf79 let a beggar loiter 37dea60d1c in front of the c887e4a615 palace gates. But today was 265a223dd3 a special day. It was the d7dd4b538c day the kingdom’s 0569e05d96 only prince turned 52e5bd4246 twenty-seven. On days like 04e6d80131 this, all sorts c5ffe827d3 of poor folk fc9ae598bf gather around the a9cfbb6330 palace gates, hoping aa81f095a1 to get leftover 9e1d04307a food. The guards are a 57a3f0879c bit more lenient. They frowned 9ff72e8695 at the 0569d2d9a9 disguised wizard 6254708ff3 but didn’t 4ad5ae5a39 chase him eaad4103ce away. Thanks to that, the dec26ebfef wizard could loiter freely e8f8168ba0 in front of the c158cf9cbc palace, waiting for the 228921f87e curse to take effect.2cca8fb544fc6907

The morning sun, which eb2a33d1a1 had been shining like f48d654469 freshly baked bread, rose 0394a806da high in the sky b78f5d4dfc and began to emit 6985f2ae66 a sharp, stinging light.

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?09a03553c2bac544

At that moment, 0dd81f436b the sound of e2459fd35f the drawbridge lowering 34b82acf5f echoed from inside 8490079764 the palace walls. The guards 20c40fd860 stationed at d609ad3809 the outer ed0179a386 walls hurriedly 5a4c8d3f67 opened the da07733118 gates in 81e72e1b10 response to fabb6924a1 the commotion 39c8fb3d7a inside.094d1de0de7a2a19

Someone riding a white 62dc6d2311 horse with a golden 2061ea1269 mane was crossing the 589cb4209e drawbridge at an incredible 4487ae84b9 speed.

“Damn it, you 8151127560 fools! What are 2562181a63 you all 583da0ff9e standing around 0282ef358a for? Close the gates! Close them now!”59c4312a11fd4a03

At the 0ffde1e9dc captain’s frantic 07d4eb8dca shout, the 04c95dd16c guards snapped e045204446 to attention. They began 03f4903279 hurriedly closing b612a4b6e0 the gates 99f0671efc of the 863ce2fd13 outer wall. As the gap between 9cecfdbe93 the gates narrowed, the 1f7f76ce82 prince’s breathing grew heavier. Just as the gates d099a34b45 were about to close, 08ac0b4030 leaving only enough space ea37a59496 for a grown man 60b8cd84ba to squeeze through, the 4fc817c034 prince leaned close to b35b879e47 his horse’s ear and f50fdce075 whispered something. The white horse leaped 6491c81b8f forward with incredible force, f2b88ec075 its golden mane fluttering 3ac237d097 like wings in the 699f1e79a7 air. Fearing they might af019d79e4 be trampled by 9db48d361c the horse’s hooves, 5d4afa2b37 the guards screamed 1773c1aca0 and scrambled away ee6d5442f7 from the gates. In that instant, the b4e3f919dd prince and his horse d8189a302f slipped through the narrow cc309da872 gap and dashed out.d344386b9b797d71

“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?aada0b8ab735cd62

But what could 5cc3577ac7 the guards do? When the eeab330d50 high-and-mighty knight b6e14a9fc0 barks an 59137a571e order, they 23c9d191a6 must obey. With dazed f44ef91411 expressions from 1e9509163c the sudden 70c6fb6523 chaos, the 3391c59c3d poor guards 0a00529b74 groaned and 9f35042a1e struggled to d51c850458 open the db431dd696 gates again. Ten horses carrying the af8bbe2f41 knights galloped out through d63db7fb9f the wide-open gates.52549521fedb53e2

The knights were e0c2e02a1d skilled riders, but 18eebdf440 the prince was d8253f9664 even more so. Of course, he was. Despite being confined ab13eddb11 to the palace 08df723351 for twenty-seven years 068b07dc8d due to the a67163b632 curse, the prince 16bdc6ed68 had been gifted 8c6a2c4b28 with all sorts 55e411bc51 of talents by 84f57e408c the twelve wizards—including 2de9b5c08f exceptional equestrian skills!452fbb007047cf9d

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. He only meant to threaten the horse and slow it down. The sharp arrow flew from his drawn bowstring, slicing through the air with a piercing sound. His arrow… its tip was sharp… needle-like… The arrow grazed the prince’s hair, barely missing his earlobe…be1803e4cad9f6cc
