Chapter 41: 41

“I don’t believe that she was a child who was switched when she was a baby”

“I can’t believe she fell in love with her brother by a moment’s mistake…”

Even after the street play was over, Pedro and I couldn’t get out of the shock for a while.

I walked blankly, pondering the ending of the play several times.

“Still, it was a relief that it had a happy ending.”

“That’s right. I was frankly nervous when the female protagonist used forbidden black magic to cure an incurable disease.”

“I was really surprised when the summoned Demon King said, ‘I’m your father……’”

At that time, Michael, who was following us from behind, sighed.

Amazingly, while watching the play, he guessed all the following developments. 

It was so accurate that the person sitting next to him glared at him.

“It’s all just as Brother Michael said.”

“…It’s boring.”

Rather than being proud of his ability of foresight, Michael grumbled in annoyance.

“How can all the street plays have the same storyline?”

“But it was fun for me.”

“That?”

Michael looked at me with contemptuous eyes.

I could not readily understand him.

“I thought brother had seen a lot of street plays… Then doesn’t that mean you like plays?”

“…I like it.”

“It’s not that you don’t like it, you said it’s fun. But why are you so fed up?”

“Because that’s not a proper play…!”

“Lily, let’s go to that hat shop!”

When Michael was indignant for an unknown reason, Pedro lifted me up and gave me a ride.

“Ah, there’s a magic show over there! There are monkeys too! Did they bring it from the South?”

He roamed the streets with great strides and walked all the places that seemed interesting.

It was as if he was impatient to show me all the wonders of the world.

I was excited at the same time. The phrase ‘it’s fun to be together’ could be used in this case.

After sharing a huge swirl of cotton candy with Pedro, it was already dinnertime.

A dark sunset was cast on the mosaic of the World Tree carved on the floor of the square.

The earth was colored scarlet, and the sky was colored wine.

Amateur bands roaming the festival streets could not miss the romantic atmosphere.

The music burst and the gypsies danced.

Seeing the scene, wolf ears popped up above Pedro’s head.

Aww, it’s so soft…

“Lily, shall we dance?”

Pedro put me on the ground and jumped straight into the middle of the square.

I shook my head in surprise.

“Ahh! Oh, brother! I can’t dance!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay! You just have to leave your body to the music!”

I didn’t know where Pedro had picked it up, but he made a flower crown and put it on my head, held me with both hands and spun me around.

Skirts gathered like roll cakes wrapped around my list legs. Souvenirs hanging all over my body clang as if they were singing.

At first, it was awkward, so I looked around, but I gradually relaxed.

Surprisingly, no one laughed at my stiff dance moves.

‘Everyone doesn’t care what I’m doing.’

The people gathered in the square were busy shaking their bodies with excitement.

Pedro chuckled, revealed his teeth and laughed.

“Look. You can do it, right?”

His voluminous curly hair waved energetically over his tanned skin.

I was surprised that his appearance was so attractive.

“Hey, Michael! Aren’t you coming?”

Pedro waved his hand wildly, but Michael shook his head, leaning against the wall.

That picky boy. It looked like he didn’t want to put a single toe on the street dance board.

‘Then I can’t let it be even more.’

I pretended to be dancing and walked over to Michael and grabbed his wrist.

“What, what!”

There was no need to forcefully control Michael. It’s over if you throw his body into the gaps of gypsies.

The women playing the tambourine took Michael’s hand as if they were old friends and dragged him into the crowd.

“You are annoying.”

Michael snapped like a cat forced to bathe.

In response to that, I pushed out my tongue, wlee.

And left my body over to the rhythm of the applause. 

Apparently, the sky was getting dark.

The performance that seemed like it would never end was tingling in our ears and escalating…

“Wow!”

It ended with a shout.

All the tension that I had had so far in that magnificent sound burst like a water balloon with that loud sound.

I slumped over the mosaic tiles.

The freesia corolla was torn off, and sweat-drenched hair was scattered on the floor.

It had been a long time since my hair had been braided into two ponytails.

Stars shone in the wine-colored sky. The white moon was also cautiously appearing.

All of them are illusions shown by the barriers of the World Tree, but they were so beautiful that I didn’t even think about them.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve played without thinking like this… No, is this the first time?’

I was dazed in thought, and a shadow was cast over my face.

“Are you okay?” 

Pedro sat down on the floor and looked up at my face.

Looking up from the bottom, his deep eyes stood out even more.

Just when I nodded saying I was fine, a newspaper delivery man with a handkerchief wrapped around his neck from afar shouted.

“The parade will begin!”

Parade. As soon as he heard the word, Pedro jumped up like a spring.

“Lily, I have an idea!”

Pedro smiled playfully.

“What is it?”

“That’s… First, let’s go over there and change our clothes.”

Pedro pointed to a nearby boutique. There were a lot of unusual clothes hanging over the show window, such as a rooster hat, fairy wings, and an evil spirit’s mask.

It looked like a costume store. The clothes were pretty, but even though it was a festival, the lights were off.

At that time, Michael, who had barely escaped from the gypsies, approached us.

“Let’s go back to the villa, brother.” 

“Hey, the moon is still in the middle of the sky, where are you going?”

Pedro’s eyes widened as if it was nonsense.

“Lily, do you want to go already?” 

“Not at all.”

“…Then brother and Lily, you guys play together. I should go and rest by myself…”

“Don’t go, brother.”

I crawled on the ground, and hugged one of Michael’s leg tightly

‘Where are you running, you bastard?’

I brought you all this way to watch over you…

“Let’s all play together. Huh?”

“Brother Pedro, take her off.”

“I’m jealous of you. she had never hung on my leg…”

Pedro stared at Michael, full of envy and jealousy, but did not help him in the slightest.

“Hey, Lily… Let go of me. I won’t do anything, I’ll just lie down.”

“I don’t want to. Don’t leave me.”

When I made a short-tongued sound like the day I was screwing Michael over, he shook his legs like he was fed up. 

This was the time! Without missing an opportunity, I pressed down on Michael’s knee.

Careless, Michael lost his focus and fell.

Regardless of what his brother’s expression was, Pedro laughed happily.

“Michael, it’s the first time I’ve seen you say you’re tired, man.”

Pedro picked me up with one arm and gestured to Michael as if asking him to follow.

Michael looked dissatisfied, but in the end we all went to the boutique together.

As expected, a ‘Closed’ sign was hung at the entrance of the store.

But Pedro strode to the back door and knocked on the door with his fist.

Now, his reckless behavior was no surprise.

“Delivery has arrived!”

“I didn’t order anything.”

With a voice full of annoyance, the window attached to the door opened with a click.

Two eyes that appeared through the rectangular hole looked at us. 

He seemed to be a young man. I knew that only a man would welcome Pedro, of course, but he soon frowned as if he would become violent.

“What is it?”

I was surprised. Pedro, didn’t you know him?

“Oh, it looks like he got a new assistant. Is the owner here?”

“The owner is busy and cannot receive deliveries that he didn’t even order. Well, then.”

Even with that cold tone, Pedro just stood there and smiled softly.

“I understand the situation, but at least tell him these words. I’m sorry I couldn’t go to the wedding.”

“What are you talking about? He’s not even married.”

Tak! 

The side window was closed. 

I was dumbfounded. It was the first time I got mistreated while traveling with Pedro.

“…Brother?”

Pedro did not move in place even after being coldly kicked out.

Was he shocked because he didn’t recognize his face?

Then the door swung open and a middle-aged man with a mustache came out. He smiled as soon as he saw Pedro.

“Sir Pedro!” 

“Long time no see. How have you been?”

“Would you mind telling me before you come to the store? I’m surprised!”

Apparently, this person was the owner of the store.

Behind the mustache man, the man who just kicked us out was pale.

“I’m, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that he was the Prince of House Bauner… It was dark, so I couldn’t see the pattern on the button…!”

“Hey, how do you train new recruits?”

Pedro lightly clenched his fist and tapped the mustache man’s forearm.

The mustache smirked and struck back.

“Haha, I retired 10 years ago, right? I have to live like I’ve retreated.”

The two looked like old friends. 

The mustache man suddenly looked at me. 

“By the way, this lady is…?”

“My little sister. She’s the cutest in the world, isn’t she?”

Pedro patted me on the back as if boasting. 

The mustache man spread his arms out in excitement as if God had descended.

“Oh, the returned princess has visited my boutique!”

Looking closely, there was a long scar between the index and thumb of his left hand.

It was a mark that every knight who used a sword had.

“Come on in. Hey, turn on the lights!”

As the mustache man commanded, the young man rushed back into the store.

A number of magic stone lanterns lit up at the same time. The darkness inside the store was instantly reduced.
