But when on earth did he meet him? Who exactly was that damn wizard?

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……7be4b5addf21f059

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!”d5b08b43b30cb0a3

……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.c8d11d1f2d7d47f8

Unfortunately, the 47c6d19463 prince has b6fad035ef gained a 06efbc7d14 life force 4c3545a9a7 that I 1176a5726c simply cannot 33efdc79fd handle. But don’t worry, everyone. With this ink and 9ac48548b2 pen, I’ll restore the 5f13480123 story to its original 0dd53d4abc form.

Hmm, so first… let’s change the narrative style a bit.ca79522a980a457c

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.4e675b2194bd78a7

The one who cursed 19f19de18a the prince to die 3d69881edc by pricking his finger 49b86381f0 on a needle. Yes, that’s the 4046a9ae35 one. Alright, good.

Haha, don’t 90fba3e9d9 worry too ac650992c7 much, everyone. What’s important isn’t 2432bfe562 the narrative style c534007a0a or the characters e8d4ebeddd themselves. What’s important is 2e1e8813ec the fate of 86599dfd0e the story. The protagonist, the d3b8ebec05 prince, must prick ac2ed2178b his finger on e90cf9356b a needle on 425f2776ee his twenty-seventh birthday, 06b6e7a01c fall into a 7653a91659 deep and peaceful 6ff8825468 sleep for a a07322b931 hundred years, and f85f557877 then awaken with 9c906e92e9 a kiss from df1f253017 a beautiful princess 1092b855da to live happily 39f81ca63f ever after. That’s all 82a4048c5a that matters. Don’t worry too c37fa8d409 much. The path may 6ceaad370a twist and turn, 4d90c1d975 but the prince 019b62f7d9 will never defy 9264246bc2 his fate.c1b9f6918e6dd363

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.901134c93f4cbd3d

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.33e8425ea7dd940c

Normally, the guards ef4e877b7b wouldn’t let a 193f068ec5 beggar loiter in 44de7f6511 front of the cb82eb13fd palace gates. But today was a 83ede127ab special day. It was 1de2f1601f the day 46b133c27d the kingdom’s 9c86a13d0a only prince 8d9a1c27ed turned twenty-seven. On days 5082f630a1 like this, fb7ec607f8 all sorts 784e2c1ce2 of poor 175cf7b071 folk gather 03ddc00d53 around the fcedb4d5c9 palace gates, 4da3580007 hoping to c85acdb09d get leftover 4fc444d179 food. The guards are 1d13fc2812 a bit more 30a414ec3d lenient. They frowned at 65cf5d0126 the disguised wizard 58376a0985 but didn’t chase 689340fbf0 him away. Thanks to that, the b5c66941e1 wizard could loiter freely 3a7d37ebf2 in front of the 55e548d6e2 palace, waiting for the 4606ac163c curse to take effect.0f72a04652d30ec4

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?e7a6e40729c9727e

A strange tension hung 9e0805a4a2 in the air, visible 353886fec2 on the faces of d9be3da6b0 the guests, the servants, b5f631e60d the guards, and even 3fb7bd7e7a the beggars loitering for 9b5259051b leftover food. Everyone was laughing and 311d06d55a chatting, but they couldn’t d8201df4a8 hide their unease.

At that moment, cb0f2855a3 the sound of a3e70fc835 the drawbridge lowering fe909090cf echoed from inside 867e36ddf4 the palace walls. The guards c6ad948a55 stationed at b68e69dbbc the outer 7da8b24fca walls hurriedly e8b5a9d0df opened the a26a18890d gates in ad7f4f1dcd response to 9ea563e186 the commotion 23bd88b5f1 inside.ae1b491ad3f1a234

Someone riding a white 8efc587c45 horse with a golden ac16d4d769 mane was crossing the 52ed23b4a0 drawbridge at an incredible 2e3a9f163d speed. Behind them, 8851c02919 at a 7f78a4a55f fixed distance, 04eb034a0f armed knights 448950ac4a followed in 4566b34ea8 pursuit. The rider on the 3e7570581e white horse with the fa3d61989c golden mane was, of b1d1ab0517 course, none other than e216c1cfb4 the prince. The prince 3a135a01eb celebrating his cc0ead253c twenty-seventh birthday, b89c2f6d21 the protagonist 923f183ed3 of the 0ba1e50a89 day!

The guards, the guests, and even the beggars stopped what they were doing to watch the scene. Well, it’s only natural for the prince’s guards to chase after the prince… but something felt off. It looked more like… a pursuit.75235e57ec8c1cd3

“Your Highness! Your Highness!” b10992ac4a shouted the e2527971ef captain of c3e9aa4ccd the guards.

At the ecdf7fbec9 captain’s frantic 5f07ab5ba0 shout, the 76f3fa4a84 guards snapped 1b977b9f41 to attention. They began hurriedly closing d85ce2f8e5 the gates of the d9f147889b outer wall. As the gap between 2bb719d669 the gates narrowed, the 2dc0abfe38 prince’s breathing grew heavier. Just as the gates da5d2856e6 were about to close, 367b562090 leaving only enough space f0b8689ad7 for a grown man 70d4ec3548 to squeeze through, the e6c8f38a6f prince leaned close to d8c3b3128a his horse’s ear and 3932b765c9 whispered something. The white ffdeb6ead7 horse leaped 44a37782a1 forward with 74d72f4f8a incredible force, d5edf781ed its golden 1107c63885 mane fluttering cad0bcef49 like wings 87fa287e8b in the 437c19c6aa air. Fearing they 5362028c9a might be 0f2b4c29cb trampled by ae3a67e91d the horse’s b0f3691989 hooves, the 2b95fd89a6 guards screamed 53213022e7 and scrambled 79d0c96109 away from 73be27e9b3 the gates. In that instant, the 4c00fe0db2 prince and his horse cc12981f1e slipped through the narrow a2972f43a0 gap and dashed out.70ed053c3ef614c7

“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?25740e73cf73cc15

But what could c21a1b0b6f the guards do? When the high-and-mighty 86b27b1724 knight barks an 543d2dd9e9 order, they must e009062ef8 obey. With dazed acfacfd339 expressions from eb89bf8ad1 the sudden 6159af97f5 chaos, the 4abdafd5c4 poor guards 197633e477 groaned and adb6366994 struggled to 00c51849a5 open the c0967f4376 gates again. Ten horses carrying 4f8e582672 the knights galloped 5a4d6c437f out through the 1199f90a4b wide-open gates.7550c1f4cd76c7de

The knights were 540df8127e skilled riders, but 8b4ae38c13 the prince was 8cf5c0591b even more so. Of course, d27cbfc3e8 he was. Despite being confined to 8c1c161cec the palace for twenty-seven afb512989f years due to the ae63b05170 curse, the prince had a7cfdf8b0c been gifted with all 6eeb3c1450 sorts of talents by d0ac37a78b the twelve wizards—including exceptional 3bfe9d6436 equestrian skills!5adc0412bc4f2513

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…aa8f161f09088e8d

“Shall I consider this,” 6f4a861899 the prince spoke. While calming his 1957927f89 startled horse with fa22240972 gentle strokes, he 927b7b0973 turned his cool, c4e0a7d945 forest-green eyes, now b9460c0409 filled with icy e4e8bc3cce anger, toward the 1b81ed6052 knights.
