Chapter 107 (1/2)

As there were so many volunteers to work during the festival period, they had to be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis.

Those who stayed at the palace during the festival went on vacation, but those who enjoyed the festival returned to the palace. The Imperial Palace soon forgot about the banquet and grew quiet again.

The imperial palace was quiet and empty after the national festival was over. Kyosul decided to visit the flower garden for the first time in a long time. As only royal family members and high-ranking officials could enter the garden, she left for it without her nanny. As she mainly visited her favorite places in the garden, they were familiar to her.

Since she used to walk around the garden alone, she felt more comfortable without the court ladies.

“Long live the Crown Princess! We’re honored to see you!”

The soldiers who guarded the main gate now recognized Kyosul, which made her feel rather awkward. Unlike the imperial palace she was familiar with, she crossed the gate, feeling uncomfortable with their greetings.

The flower garden was full of autumn flowers boasting fine appearances. She momentarily wondered if there were any winter flowers among them as the garden was full of seasonal flowers in full bloom. At that moment, somebody hugged her side suddenly.

She screamed in surprise.

Then, the small shadow that embraced her looked up at her with a sad expression.

“Ayamama, don’t you like Mu?”

It was Ohyulje’s grandson Mu.

Confirming him, she shook her head, blushing.

“No, no. I was just surprised as you came up suddenly. ”

Then, when she caressed his cheek, he smiled brightly, released his hands holding her and jumped up and down.

“Nobody is playing with me, so I’m bored, so I came here to watch the flowers and I found the best flower! Ayamama is prettier than all the flowers here, and I like Ayamama best!”

While babbling like that, he pulled her hand.

“Where are you going, prince Mu?”

“I would like to show you something. As I play here the most, I know this place best! ”

He was so happy to bump into her at the flower garden that he ran holding her hand.

Although she was surprised at first, she gladly walked with him with a smile as he cheered while running around.

Walking around the garden with him, Mu told her about the flowers.

What did he do in this large palace without his friends? There was no entertainment for him in the palace other than being cared for by a nanny and learning from many teachers. As a result, he always visited the flower garden for enjoyment. Thanks to his frequent visits, he inadvertently gained a thorough knowledge of flowers while he played in the flower garden alone for a long time.

As he babbled about the details of many flowers, Mu’s nanny thought he loved flowers. She gave him a book about flowers. He quickly absorbed lots of knowledge about flowers, as if he were dry land and it was water. He was well versed enough to identify any flower instantly as soon as he saw it.

“Are you bored because you have no friends?”

When she asked him, who was busy explaining to her about flowers at the moment, he shut up and quickly became sullen. Drooping his head, he nodded. She felt so much pity for him.

At that moment, she hit upon a good idea.

“It would be nice if you invite a friend here.”

“Friend?”

“Yes, a friend.”

Bending her knees at his eye level, she said, stroking his hair.

Tilting his head, he scratched his face and said, “What do you mean by friend?”

“Oh, what I mean is inviting some friends that are your age to the palace for a little prince like you who is bored.”

“Wow, can I get a friend then?”

“Of course.”

Listening to her, he smiled, opening his arms wide and turning round and round.

“Please ask you mom, Princess Oran. Please ask her to get you friends.”

When she mentioned Oran, he suddenly stopped turning round and round. Feeling dizzy as he kept turning round and round, he jumped into her arms and whined.

“Mom is scary. I was scolded severely today. I asked daddy to play with me, but she scolded me, saying daddy was very busy with handling state affairs. She told me I shouldn’t disturb him. I like my mom, but I like you better. You are beautiful and fair-skinned, and I want to protect you!”

While he was whining, he turned the topic and talked about her.
