The Prince's Revenge
01: Welcome
Darkness prince. That's nickname.
In his first life, he was betrayed by his own father, the king. He was given the title of the best royal knight. An excellent title for her that comes from a prostitute mother. However, without realizing it, it turned out to be a game of deceit that made the king's fate tragic.
Beheadings in the town square as suspected of rebellion. That's what his people know.
Hearing the verdict, the prince who felt betrayed by his own father was angry.
“For God's sake. The King will die in a state of head separated from his body” so he said before finally the guillotine knife was dropped.
Just then, a miracle suddenly appeared. The prince, who should have been unable to feel alive, suddenly awoke in the years before the rebellion.
His memory of the sharp knife cutting off his neck, made the character of the third prince, described as a friendly and cheerful man, turn dark. He lost the smile on his face. No one has seen him smile since. His sudden change, made people think that he had been possessed by another soul.
From there, he was dubbed as the prince of darkness.
And the prince of darkness, now in front of the eyes of a girl who loves reincarnation novels. At first, the girl thought that she had reincarnated into the world of novels, but in reality, the prince of darkness in the novels was the one who actually appeared to her world.
“Prince Egon?” The woman did not believe.
“You... where am I?” Said the prince. He was wearing formal royal clothes, as if he was going to attend a party.
“Really! You're prince Egon right!” His eyes sparkled like someone who had just discovered a rare gem. Egon who was jolted with the small scream of Mysha took a step back slowly.
“Yes, I'm Egon. You who?”
“Ya ampuuuun! I'm Mysha! And you're in my room now!” The answer.
Egon then scrunched his forehead. He was very sure, the language he now used when talking to Mysha was not his mother tongue, but how could he understand?
Mysha then got off the bed and approached Egon. He stood in front of her and looked up slightly to see her face.
“You're high!” Mysha said, still with sparkling eyes.
Egon looked at Mysha in disbelief. This was the first time he had been treated so disrespectfully.
Although he was the prince of a prostitute mother, people always tried to show him respect. But this kid? Without hesitation he stood up and looked directly at Egon's eyes.
“You... not afraid to die?” Egon asked doubtfully. Egon was sure, when someone did something disrespectful to a noble, the punishment could be life.
‘Again..’.
Egon looked around.
‘The girl said I was in her room. This small room. He must be from among the commoners.’ Her thought.
Ivory white walls decorated with minimalist decoration. Polaroid photos along with his friends were a lot attached there. The atmosphere and items that Egon had never seen before.
“Sit down first noble,” Mysha said with a smile like a fool. He pulled up a chair not far from his desk.
When Egon realized that he was unarmed, he tried to obey Mysha first. Trying to be alert in case he is in an enemy trap.
Mysha walked to the kitchen not far from her room, to pick up the cold tea in the packaging from the refrigerator. He then thrust the tea at Egon while still smiling widely.
“So can you tell me first, what you were doing before you showed up here? Ah, drink first. This is tea from jasmine flowers. And this is added sugar.” Mysha smiled. He was very confident that Egon would like it.
Of course because he knows that the nobles in the novel ‘The Dark Prince’ many are crazy about tea plus sugar —also snacks.
“Hmm? Ah, thank you,” Egon was silent to see the goods in his hand. He watched closely, wondering why he had never once thought of selling tea in a bottled bottle. ‘And this..is made of what material?’
“Prince Egon?” Mysha called out to Egon who still did not answer her question.
“Ah, sorry. Why are you asking like that? Are you a priest?”
“Huh? haha. No, I'm an ordinary man. You can call me Mysha. I'm a student”
“Blowjob?”
“Oh, so.”
“I'm sure there's a lot you want to ask here. I can help you explain one-on-one, everything you want to know. But, can you tell me first, about your last memory before coming here?”
“Hmm.” Egon hesitated. He really cannot guess the situation now.
“I know it's not the first time you've experienced something like this” explained Mysha.
“You mean?”
“Genesis in the city square, you're back in time before that right?”
Egon, who had been trying to get away from Mysha's gaze, began to look back at her and showed interest. How not, all this time, no one knew about it. Not even the strongest priests and magicians in the kingdom were aware of it. However, the girl who was not clear of her origin, suddenly sat in front of her and revealed the secret easily.
“Did you manage to take revenge on your father?”
“... don't” Egon turns his gaze to the window facing outside.
“Then the war?”
“When I thought I'd get my revenge. Suddenly I'm here”
‘Means he likely appeared here right at the time the story part of the novel was connected’ thought Mysha.
‘But why is she wearing such magnificent clothes? Wouldn't it make more sense that he was wearing a knight uniform huh?’ Further.
“Good. Then I'll explain everything to you. Listen carefully yes,” Mysha began to explain to Egon about the fact, that he was a main character in a novel with the theme of government.
He also explains that Egon's world in the novel, is set in a medieval fantasy town, while Mysha's world is now in modern times. There is no such thing as a curse or magic like the one in his world.
Horse carriages or bird delivery letters are no longer commonplace here. Machine technology and the speed of information have mastered the flow of life.
Lastly, Mysha showed me two volumes of the novel, ‘The Dark Prince,’ which she had just finished the night before. The black book with a silver crown covered in blood, with the title written in gold, made Egon curious about how he was portrayed in the novel.

“You are right..” said Egon when he finished reading the novel.
“The story in this novel is similar to my story.”.
“So now you believe that you are outside the world of novels?”
“I still doubt, it could be that I am indeed carried away to another dimension, but it might also be that this is just some kind of dream and my real body is asleep.”
“Hmm. I'm not sure about the second one.. Because I'm sure my life is real.”
“Hmm.”
“Someone you want to ask again?”
“Maybe it's enough. For a while I will see the conditions here with my own eyes first,” replied Egon.
Egon got up from his seat and walked towards the window. Pay attention to the orange-colored afternoon sky that is not much different from his world.
Under the soon-to-be-drowned sun, there were all kinds of vehicles that he had never seen, crowded onto the streets. Some people walk away wearing simple clothes without any flashy jewelry.
“I don't know what I should do now.”
Hearing that, Mysha caught up with him and stood beside him. Highlight Egon's eyes fixed on the alien life below, making Mysha feel sorry for Egon.
“Welcome to my world” Mysha said with a smile.
