The Second Prince, Yurian

The next morning with the Second Prince, Yurian. Ye-won blinked her eyes, replaying the events of the early dawn. She hadn't seen the figure clearly with her bleary eyes, but the beautiful silver hair and the golden eyes that gleamed like molten gold were etched vividly in her memory.

"..."

Lying down, Ye-won looked down at her legs. Her thighs had improved to an unbelievable degree.

"...Not a dream."

Ye-won stared at her dramatically healed thighs, lost in thought.

Creak—

The nurse delivering breakfast opened the door and entered.

"...?!"

The nurse looked shocked, setting the meal aside momentarily to check Ye-won's condition.

"No way... how...?"

Ye-won had no way to explain what had happened to her. Who would believe that someone had come and gone at dawn, and her condition had improved so much?

"...My legs look a lot better!"

The mysterious person's reason for visiting at dawn was probably to avoid being seen by others.

'She said she'd come again tomorrow. I can ask then.'

Ye-won thought that and flashed a bright smile at the nurse, whose mouth hung open in astonishment.

Of course, the one most shocked by Ye-won's change was Ye-rim.

"Ye-won-ah..! What happened?! How did it get so much better all of a sudden...?"

Ye-rim asked with a face on the verge of tears.

"I don't know either, unnie... Maybe it's compensation for all the suffering."

At Ye-won's words, Ye-rim finally burst into tears.

"Really... sob... I'm so glad.. Waaah...."

"...Yeah. It's great... Hehe..."

Meanwhile, Juwon returned home and decided to turn on her stream for the first time in a while.

"Ah, everyone. Can you hear me okay?"

"...Hmm."

As expected, she could never get used to this chaotic chat window no matter how many times she saw it.

"Well, today's main plan is to push the main quest."

"Ack."

"Uh... I was gonna skip it originally, but I'll share the story as a reaction."

"Oh, before that, hold on a sec."

'Ye-rim unnie hasn't replied, so I'll just show the guys' pics for now...'

"Back. Where'd I go? I asked the raid members if it was okay to show the photos."

"First, we went for sushi right away... Do you know this place? It's famous, but I didn't."

"Then we went to the pension... Bigger and nicer than expected. Sareah knew the owner, so we got a discount..."

"At the pool, Serinsel and Eumsiinjang unnie played in the water..."

"Said no swimsuit, but tried on a bikini that didn't suit me..."

"...Eek. Thanks for the 100k. Sadly, pics are priceless... Haha.."

"Okay, calm down. Then, as you know, we grilled meat and streamed."

"Ah, and... after that, some left, and the rest drank a bit."

"And here... this is the pic."

"Yes. Last pic..."

I started showing photos one by one of the male raid members passed out drunk.

"Who took it? Me."

"Yup. I won them all. Heh."

"Dunno? Straight vodka one bottle... mixed cocktails... two beers... variety."

Sharing the offline meetup story with viewers was surprisingly fun. No wonder people stream.

"Eumsiinjang unnie got super clingy when drunk. Kept touching me..."

"Yes. Anyway, story ends here. Time for Lost World?"

"Yes. Gotta start the main quest now."

With that, I logged into Lost World.

"A choice, huh..."

According to info, Travel Kingdom had Crown Prince Kalis, Princess Arie, and Second Prince Yurian.

Public view: Crown Prince Kalis was saintly, highly skilled, perfect heir.

Princess Arie: Wise, cool-headed sage to guide the kingdom right.

Second Prince Yurian: Handsome face but no substance, playboy wastrel among wastrels.

"Obviously..."

"Second Prince. What are you all thinking?"

"No, see... the more wastrel-like, the more likely a hidden mastermind behind it, right?"

"No... Sigh, whatever. What do you know? Closing chat now."

The chat was chaotic for a moment, but I ignored it and turned off the chat window.

"Alright... Let's go."

After that, I headed to a fancy bar in the corner of the kingdom.

"Turn back."

"Tch. Why hide so much..."

I approached the door where several people were being turned away from the entrance.

"Proof."

Proof of worthiness to enter. I tapped Asella's brooch lightly.

"...Cleared."

The two guards stepped aside, clearing the path to the entrance. I entered slowly, hooded in my black robe.

Ting—

Unlike a noisy tavern, only the clink of glasses echoed here. I cautiously approached the older-looking bartender.

"What'll it be? Wine? Whiskey? No beer, by the way."

"The third-worst drink in the kingdom."

"...Follow me."

"Sit there."

I slipped into the seat next to a man also cloaked in black.

"Rumors don't do you justice."

He turned, golden eyes gleaming softly.

"...What brings a lady like you here?"

"You know. The situation lately is off."

He poured me a drink with relaxed eyes and offered it.

I tapped Asella's brooch and smiled.

"No hobby of drinking known poison. I'm a witch, you see."

His eyes turned serious as he removed his robe. Jet-black hair like containing all shadows, shining golden eyes symbolizing royalty. Handsome as rumored.

"Forgive my rudeness. Didn't recognize the great witch's disciple."

"The kingdom's second-smallest sun. I greet you, Prince Yurian."

I tried to kneel in greeting, but Yurian stopped me.

"No formalities. Don't want that even here."

Yurian downed his remaining drink and asked seriously.

"...So, why seek me?"

"As I said, the demons vanishing feels ominous."

"...Hm. Thought so."

"I don't think it's coincidence. Does Your Highness know something?"

"...I know. All too well."

"Then tell me..."

"First, something to confirm."

"...Can you trust me completely?"

"As you know, my reputation is rock-bottom."

"Drunkard, womanizer, slacker. Any one stains a prince; ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠all apply to me."

"Can you trust such a man?"

I chuckled at Yurian's question.

"Why else would I choose the Second Prince? I already know you're not that person."

Actually, the quest window kindly explained when I chose him.

"Hah... Is that so."

"Follow me. Not talk for here."
