Chapter 36

He looked serious again, and I couldn't hide my smile. "The Crown Prince." .....

My smile disappeared, and I looked at the river in silence. I understood what he was thinking—

Our tranquilly was interrupted by the voice of a young man: "Is this my brother, Achil?" It was Prince Yijun, accompanied by the Crown Prince. Achil stood up, and I stood behind him with a slight greeting. The Crown Prince didn't seem interested, but Prince Yijun continued speaking, "Oh, is this Princess Carmina? I've heard a lot about you." Then he paused to think for a moment and continued with a question: "Is your name Yuan? I think so." It seems as if he was talking to himself, but I answered him, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Achil interrupted the conversation and asked, "What has brought the Crown Prince on this distant path?" Aron didn't bother to answer, or maybe becuase Yijun decided to answer instead: "The Crown Prince enjoys many outings these days, so I decided to accompany him today." Both Achil and Aron raised their eyebrows at this talkative child.
