WAKE UP AS THE PRINCE'S WIFE

He ran across the meadow, and when he turned his gaze around him, he could only see grass. It was all green, but it was a shade lighter than his hair. No flowers, no red, no yellow, no purple… everything was just green as he brought his eyes to survey his surroundings.

It was strange, but somehow he felt at peace in this place where he could only see the color that resembled the precious green jade. But then his keen ears caught a buzzing sound which caused him to raise his eyebrows, and when he realized that the sound was coming from behind him, he looked back and could see that it was a bee flying not far behind him.

The "buzz buzz" sound was caused by the way the little animal flapped its wings. The rapid flapping of the wings caused the air around the animal to vibrate, and the vibrations traveled to his ears. It seemed as if the sound was approaching him, and he finally realized that the bee was actually flying toward him.

His dark eyes widened as he realized that, and without thinking, he lifted the front of his pink robe before starting to run away from the little animal.

'Wait. Why should I run when I'm only facing a silly little animal?' He wondered to himself, but even if his brain realized that what he was doing was indeed ridiculous, he couldn't stop his feet from moving so quickly to run away from the bee.

It was strange, but he kept running through the green grass in the meadow. Unfortunately, no matter how fast he moved his feet, the buzzing sound only got closer to him, and when he once again looked back, he could see how the bee was right behind him.

His eyes once again widened, but it wasn't because he realized how close the distance was between him and the bee. Instead, his eyes widened as the tiny bee he had seen before suddenly turned into a giant bee that was even bigger than him.

"Fuck your ancestors to the eighteenth generation! What's going on here?" He cursed angrily, but because he kept looking behind him while running, he failed to see the pebbles on the ground in front of him, and in the end, he gasped as his body fell to the ground with a painful thud.

He hit the ground face first, and because he couldn't even control the position of his fall, he ended up falling with his butt standing up against the sky. His position was quite embarrassing, and he wanted to get up before anyone witnessed how clumsy he was in this open space.

He tried to get up from his position, but then he realized that the buzzing sound was getting very close to him. Realizing that, he carefully looked back again, and he could see how the bee was flying right above his butt still challenging the blue sky. His eyes enlarged when he saw how the bee was getting ready with its sting that seemed to glisten in the hot sun.

But, bees usually had yellow stripes, right? Yellow bees were the ones he was used to seeing, but the giant bee flying over his buttocks had blue stripes on its body, and it was very strange in his eyes.

However, did he need to care about color when the bee was getting ready with its stinger? It was a giant bee, and that was why it was no surprise that it also had a giant stinger. He could guess how much it would hurt if he was stung by the giant needle.

He tried to move. At the very least, he wanted to get up from his embarrassing position, but to his surprise, the bee used its forelegs to brace his waist to keep him in place.

What? Why did the bee even need to hold on to his waist to keep him in place?

It was another strange thing he just noticed, and that was why he was trying to escape from the animal's clutches. But his efforts were fruitless because the bee was bigger than him, and it was also stronger than him.

He wanted to scream for help, but no sound came out of his throat no matter how he tried to scream. And when he once again turned to look at the terrifying bee behind him, he could see how the gigantic animal had positioned its giant stinger right in front of his butthole.

What? Why did the bee even put its stinger in that position?

He knew that it was very strange indeed, and he once again tried to escape the bee's clutches, but he was too late to escape as the bee had used its stinger to penetrate his butthole.

He once again shouted, and this time, he was able to get the sound out of his throat.

"AAAARGH!"

He was panting heavily, and he even automatically brought his body to get up from his lying position.

What? His lying position? Hadn't he previously been on his stomach with his buttocks challenged to the sky's height?

"Was it just a dream?" He muttered to himself, and when he turned his gaze to scan his surroundings, he could see how the room was engulfed in darkness, and only a deng[1] on the table lit up the room.

It was still dark inside the room, but when he glanced at the slightly open window, he could see a glimmer of the sun rising from outside.

He suddenly sat up from his lying position due to the strange dream, and now he could finally feel a pain in his head that he quickly raised his hand to hold his aching head. It felt like his head was spinning, and besides the pain he was feeling in his head, he could also feel pain in other parts of his body.

To be exact, he could feel pain in his back and buttocks, and his eyes suddenly widened as if he just remembered what had happened to him.

Stiffly, he turned his head towards the space next to his body that was occupied by someone, and his heart dropped.

"Did I just wake up as the Prince's wife?"
