The Reason I Keep Avoiding My Childhood Friend

“What already?”

“The princess and her party are coming?”

“I’ll have to go soon. I can see her.”

People who were doing other things rushed in. I also moved to follow them. The flower of this festival, the delegation procession, was a must-see.

There was not much to see, but it felt like a parade. It was better to see the other attires and people from other countries, and then see the future Crown Princess. I want to see the princess!

While walking toward the central street, the number of people gradually increased, perhaps everyone had come to see it. It multiplied horribly on the streets that I was surprised that so many people existed.

In the midst of the ever-increasing population density, the people next to me gradually became closer like a group. I’ll have to go a little further. To be honest, there were so many people that I even got sick of it. It was similar to commuting to and from work during rush hour.

There was a section where the road narrows in the middle. In the meantime, I was completely surrounded by people, and now I am stuck. I couldn’t even go forward. It felt like I was walking in place.

I hadn’t been able to find a position with a view of the central street yet, and found myself blocked by walls of human. Because of my short stature, I could only see other people’s backs. I couldn’t even see the hem of the delegation’s clothes.

I barely managed to get through the section with my short stature. Still, I could not secure a view due to the overflowing people. At that time, a sound announcing the delegation’s arrival came.

“Oh! It’s the delegation!”

Even when I looked up, all I could see was someone else’s back. There was no space to jump, and even if I jump below average height, I cannot cross the wall of people. Since I was below, there were times when people didn’t notice me and would touch me and then back away in surprise.

Once again, I resent this cursed height. I must grow up too! I definitely got to grow big! I want to see the delegation too!

“I want to see the princess too!”

I got feverish myself, and the last words came out of my mouth. However, no one paid attention to my self-talk as all they cared about was the Taylon delegation. In fact, not only me, but the surroundings were noisy as there was a buzz here and there.

“Can you see the princess?”

“Whoa! What a wonderful knight!”

“Where? I can’t see any!”

“Wow! Is that Talon’s envoy? Awesome!”

“Amazing! The knight is especially handsome.”

“Does the princess not show her face?”

“Their attire is very different from our empire?”

“I can’t see the princess.”

“Is the princess in the carriage?”

“The knight who stood at the forefront, who is it? Why is he so handsome?”

“What? He’s really handsome. Who could it be?”

“Oh my God, I haven’t seen the princess, but my eyes are still happy.”

My curiosity grows stronger at the people’s buzz, however, it was sad that I cannot confirm it with my own eyes. Imagine it, having come all the way here and end up staring at the back of these unknown people. It felt unpleasant and it’s so messed up, I can’t even see the princess! I want to fulfill my fantasy!

“Show me the princess!”

As I was shaking with rage, I suddenly felt an unfamiliar sensation of large hands coming out from behind and grabbing my waist from both sides.

“Kyaaak!”

And in an instant, my body floated upward. I was horrified by the sudden situation. Funny enough, someone grabbed me by the waist and lifted me up. The person who lifted me was tall, so I could see the delegation immediately.

And at that moment, I had an amazing experience.

I met eyes with the man riding a horse in front of the delegation. He was a very beautiful man with impressive red hair and clear blue eyes.

In fact, my eyes were trained on Kir’s appearance. I’ve been looking at him since I was young, so I’m so used to it that I can say that I’m getting bored. That’s why I’m not surprised because I’ve gotten used to most beauty, but right now even I am so surprised that my eyes widen.

He’s a sculpture. I couldn’t even see the princess’s face, but satisfaction spread in my heart. There was a truly handsome man! As if he came straight out of a manhwa!
