Chapter 133 – Chapter 23: Cross #3
“You woke up?”
Carack’s face was visible in his distorted view. Instead of answering, In-gong blinked several times. Every time his eyelids closed and opened, his field of vision became clearer.
“Master, I let the orc wake you up after the time that Master said. Is this okay?”
He heard Green Wind’s voice from her bedside. In-gong reached out and stroked Green Wind’s head.
“Okay, well done.”
Green Wind’s face brightened at In-gong’s praise, and he thought of the dog’s tail he had seen in his dream.
After raising his upper body, Carack handed him a glass of cold water and looked at the Lucid Dream Pillow.
“It looks like you used the pillow. What type of dream did you have?”
In-gong looked down reflexively at Carack’s question. His face was redder than usual.
“Huh?”
“That’s great. Your face has revived. You are like a new recruit who survived alone in his first battle after all the troops have been killed.”
In-gong laughed at the odd details but nodded.
“Well, it is similar.”
“Prince?”
Carack asked again, but In-gong didn’ give a specific answer. Then Carack scratched the back of his head before changing the topic.
“Prince, quite a bit of time has passed. Today, we are departing after lunch. There is still some time, so there is no need to hurry. Lunch is going to be a little earlier than usual. Oh, and the princesses want to see Prince.”
Carack’s report flowed over him. In-gong blinked.
“Noona?”
It was common for the two people to look for In-gong, but they wouldn’t come in the morning for no reason.
As In-gong stood up, Carack said,
“Karma went to inform them that Prince is up, so both of them will come soon. Additionally, Nayatra has prepared breakfast for when Prince wakes up, so you just need to wash and eat.”
These days, it was Nayatra who prepared breakfast for In-gong every day. Carack had been confused by Nayatra’s cold attitude, but it seemed like he had now adapted.
“Your Highness, it is Nayatra.”
He could hear Nayatra’s voice from outside the tent. Carack laughed as he held out the water, and In-gong began to wash hurriedly. After washing up and eating breakfast, Caitlin and Felicia entered the tent. The two of them appeared at the same time.
Caitlin saw the Lucid Dream Pillow and asked with a bright face,
“Shutra, you used the pillow. How is it? Did you dream? Did you really dream of anything you wanted?”
In-gong laughed at her curiosity. Once he saw Caitlin’s enthusiastic response, it seemed strange that Caitlin gave the Lucid Dream Pillow to In-gong instead of keeping it for herself.
‘It feels good.’
His mood improved due to Caitlin’s emotions.
“Yes, I tried it last night. It was really amazing as it did what my mind wanted.”
Caitlin’s eyes started to shine like lanterns at In-gong’s words, and she asked with an excited face,
“Shutra, did I appear in the dream?”
“Amita appeared.”
In-gong laughed awkwardly. He hadn’t expected her to ask directly like that.
Caitlin’s eyes widened at In-gong’s answer.
“Amita?”
Did he say the wrong answer?
Carack asked from the right side,
“Prince, you slept on the dream pillow, and the raccoon came out? What did you dream of?”
Carack struggled to imagine it. Right then, Green Wind spoke up,
“Master, did I appear?”
“Uh, yes.”
She was making a face full of expectation, so In-gong replied hurriedly. Green Wind sighed with relief and gloated,
“Master is a great master.”
“Eung.”
In-gong replied awkwardly and felt a tinge of remorse. He couldn’t tell her she had appeared with a dog’s tail.
However, the others now started to ask questions. The first one was Felicia.
“Shutra, did I show up?”
“Uh… yes.”
“Hoh…”
As In-gong avoided her gaze, Felicia’s eyes narrowed strangely. He didn’t know if it was a good or bad thing, but then Carack went on to ask a question,
“Prince, did I appear?”
“You appear…ed?”
He had clearly appeared, but unlike the others, all In-gong had done was change his clothes.
After Carack, Nayatra spoke from a corner,
“Your Highness, what about me?”
“Eung.”
In-gong avoided her gaze again. Caitlin’s eyes narrowed even more than Felicia’s as she asked,
“Shutra, then was I the only one who didn’t appear?”
“No, that…”
“Prince, what did you dream of?”
Carack asked the question that everyone was wondering. In-gong started to explain with a relieved expression,
“I dreamt about fighting the barbarian king. I can dream whatever I want. I thought it could be used for combat simulations.”
“Then why did we come out in the dream? What about 6th Princess and the raccoon?”
“Shutra, did you dream about fighting me?”
“If it is a fighting dream, then shouldn’t I appear?”
Carack, Felicia and Caitlin spoke in turn. The more he said, the more the situation seemed twisted. In-gong changed the subject hurriedly,
