A Certain Game The new school term started, and I took on another part-time job. Thanks to that, school became a place that was only for sleeping. I sat in the very back row and slept until the end of the day. Every time I half-woke from a nap, I’d see the back of the kid in front of me, slumped over his desk. He was napping all day too. Feeling more at ease because of this, I lay down to sleep again, but I was the only one who got caught and scolded by the teacher. After about a week of…-

Dot waved his hand over Prince Joffrey’s face. Even though the candlelight flickered across his face, the prince did not move. Prince Joffrey was finally asleep. The soft breathing of a child could be heard. Dot covered the prince with a blanket and went outside. Don’t go to the Queen? “That’s an order.” The prince looked cute when he said that, but he couldn't do that. The prince did not know what kind of person the Queen was. If he didn’t go on his own, he’d be dragged…

The Queen touched my cheek like she could die from how cute I was. “Oh my, Prince Joffrey. Are you trying to scare your mother?” I got the feeling that no matter what I said, it wouldn’t work. I hugged Dot, who was trembling on the floor. “Go ahead and try to take him. I’ll just stay like this.” I was betting on the fact that the Queen wouldn’t dare mistreat Joffrey. “Oh my…” The Queen burst into laughter. Her laughter echoed through the dining hall. She laughed…

“Isn’t this Lady Rosé’s residence?” Grey asked.“I’m Rosé.” The lady said, eyes wide. Grey tried to say something more, but Edward pulled him away. “Let’s go.” “Hey, are you really here to see me?” The lady’s voice called from behind, but Edward didn’t look back. We returned to the carriage. As soon as the door shut, Grey asked, “Your Highness, why…” “I was three years old when I was separated from my mother.” Three years old? “My mother…

Going Out The next day, I told Grey, who had come for lunch, that the Queen had visited. “So? Is today’s operation cancelled?” Grey asked.“No? She dropped by yesterday, so she won’t come again today.” The biggest risk in this plan was the Queen dropping by unexpectedly and discovering my absence. Grey raised his eyebrows. “You didn’t say anything to her?”“No.”“Then the guards probably won’t block my carriage.”“If they do, take me hostage and escape. Anyway, if…

“Wait a moment, who did you say you're calling?” Grey asked. “My attendant was pickpocketed. You heard it, didn’t you? Don’t pretend you didn’t understand.” “You know that we have to return before evening so that no one finds out you’ve left, right?”“What are you trying to say?”“If we call the guards now, word will reach the castle immediately, no need to wait until evening.”“So?” It was clear Grey was going around in circles to object. So what? What about the ring…

“Shall I fix your wig, Your Highness?” Dot asked, already holding a comb in his hand. Where did that come from? “Sure.” I gave him permission because it seemed like he wanted to, and Dot happily began combing my wig. A wig isn’t supposed to be something that sticks tightly to your head, but this one was clinging to my head like my own hair. Every time Dot combed it, I could feel it on my scalp. This is definitely a game. Edward was scratching his head, probably because it was itchy.…

I sat down in the chair I’d pulled out and stared at his bony arm. The people in this family seemed to be thin-boned. Edward looked like the King, who was tall and thin. The King must’ve been skinny when he was young. But Edward didn’t just look skinny. He looked sick. The cookies from yesterday were brought out on a plate. The cookies with large chunks of chocolate weren't as tasty as they were when they were freshly baked yesterday. In this castle, you could eat everything fresh out…

I asked Edward, “What was your original plan?”“To sneak out of the castle by hiding in the carriage Grey rode in, then switch to a horse outside.” So sneaking out of the castle was the base requirement. I guess just staying in Grey’s carriage wasn’t an option either. “It’s a good plan.” “It’s a plan that could go wrong,” Grey said. “Then, what’s your plan?”“I ride my carriage out of the castle, switch carriages in the town, and go with my…

The regular class with the three of us was just Grey Cracker’s solo performance. It was as if Grey and Duke Pie were the only ones in the classroom. The two of them discussed the contents of a book that I didn't know anything about. It was a book I had read for homework, but of course, I couldn't join in the discussion. “Do you have any questions?” Duke Pie asked after class. I just stared blankly at him. I didn't understand the class, so I didn't have any questions. It was something that…
