How a Hero Lives as a Writer

2 – The warrior’s doorstep? (2)

There was also a passionate response from Prince Albert, so I gained confidence in my own way.

While I was writing the second volume for that reason, Prince Albert summoned me.

“Reina said she wants to meet you.”

“Me?”

After hearing the story, it seems that Princess Reina, the daughter of Prince Albert, wants to talk with me.

To be honest, since it’s a romance novel, I was curious about the reaction of female readers, but it turned out well.

So we decided to meet.

I don’t know much about Princess Reina, but I heard that she is a patient, so she must be careful about hygiene.

I took a little longer than usual to clean myself, and followed the servant to the place where Princess Reina was.

Smart.

“Princess Reina, the hero has arrived.”

ㅡ Yes, come in~

A soft voice came from beyond the door.

When the waitress opened the door, she felt a sweet yet calming scent somewhere.

“Welcome, warrior.”

“Hello, Princess Reina.”

The woman who greeted me had a calm voice befitting her soft voice.

There is a big gap in many ways to say that she is the daughter of Prince Albert.

I don’t know the details because I’m sitting on the bed, but I don’t think it will exceed 170.

Besides that, her hair color is different.

Prince Albert has blonde hair, but Princess Reina has silver hair with a little light blue.

Perhaps it resembles your mother, right?

Neither Prince Albert nor the servants here talk about the hostess.

It must mean that something is wrong.

So, thinking that I should be careful with my words, I cautiously sat down on the chair next to her.

“I heard that the hero wrote this book… Is that right?”

“Yes. I wrote it.”

“Wow!”

Saying that I was the writer of ‘Oh My Lady’, it felt like starlight was in Princess Reina’s eyes.

“The relationship between the main character and the heroine was attractive!”

“Is that so?”

“Yes! Usually, romance novels start with the main characters having feelings for each other, right? It was so novel that it was a feeling close to hatred!”

“Ummm….”

It was common in the other world.

“Since it is a love story, we will get closer to each other in the future, right? I’m so excited!”

The princess, who had been commenting on my novel for a while, blushed as if she was a little embarrassed.

My first impression was that he seemed like he would fade away, but he seems to have a more lively personality than I thought.

“Thank you, princess. It gives me confidence.”

“Confidence?”

“Yes.”

Ropan for men is not a material that is eaten in the one-sided market.

I took on the challenge knowingly, and faced the obvious result.

Still, I was quite discouraged, but with this kind of reaction, I can’t help but feel more confident.

Ah, it wasn’t me who was wrong, it was the other world’s fault….

“Are novels like this popular in the world where the hero lived?”

“Well? After all, it’s a bit of a minor taste.”

“… Is that so?”

It was so much fun, but when I asked if it was minor, I felt like crying.

Great, I write novels with this taste.

“Then what is popular in the world where the hero lives?”

Even if you ask what’s trending, it’s hard to say clearly.

Because various things are popular by country, generation, and gender.

I told a story that was a little more organized than the one I told the librarian.

“8 Billion….”

Princess Reina looked more stunned by the number of 8 billion than what I had told her about culture.

Yes, 8 billion.

It’s hard to point out popular culture that’s popular all over the world when there’s that kind of humanity.

“It’s amazing, a place called Earth.”

“Is that so? I also think Mare is really great.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right.”

We laughed lightly without anyone saying it first.

Isn’t that great too?

There are gods, magic, and other non-human races. It’s a great place.

It is surprising that dwarves and elves, the national rules of fantasy, actually exist.

We chatted about cultures and stories about our respective worlds.

“By the way, I thought you would ask about books, but surprisingly you don’t ask?”

It’s not a very strange question, but Princess Reina covered her mouth and laughed as if she had just heard a funny story.

“I want to read it as a book.”

“Ah.”

That’s right.

“When will you write?”

“I will write it as soon as possible.”

“Thank God.”

Princess Reina let out a sigh of relief with an expression of genuine anticipation.

“By the way, what kind of work is ‘Romeo and Juliet’, the novel that serves as a motif?”

To put it bluntly, Romeo and Juliet is a love story between young children.

In the original story, Juliet was 13 years old.

Since it starts two weeks before her birthday, even if she is 14 years old, at that age she is in her second year of middle school.

The interesting thing is that Juliet’s mother also gave birth to Juliet at that age.

The aristocratic girls in the story say that she became a mother at a younger age than Juliet.

If you think about it like that, it does feel a bit odd.

Still, I don’t think it’s necessary to tell you all this, so I decided to tell only that it’s a tragic love story of a conflicting family.

“That is a sad story.”

“Yes.”

It’s so tragic that people often misunderstand it as one of the four major tragedies.

Because even I knew it was one of the four great tragedies until I went to university and looked it up myself.

I was ashamed to know the truth, so I looked into it a bit more, and it turned out to be something unsatisfying.

Just list the facts….

Romeo, a man in his mid-teens, falls in love with Juliet, a second-year middle school student.

Romeo fell in love at first sight and confessed his love to Juliet.

The two of them spent time together for a week, five days to be exact.

In that short time, they fell in love with each other, spent a night together, secretly married each other, and eventually committed suicide together.

In just 5 days!

The more you dig, the more like a modern novel full of stimulating spice than an old novel.

… So I can’t help but think that the novels in this world are really strange.

England in the 16th century also had a class system, and such novels appear.

But why are there no novels in this world that have such a stimulating feeling?

“Even if you feel uncomfortable… ?”

“No, it reminded me of the story for the next volume.”

In order to build this castle where I am staying now, architecture needs to be developed that much.

The basis of architecture is mathematics.

And when that mathematics develops, philosophy also develops.

Because ancient mathematicians were also philosophers.

As philosophy develops, humanities develop as much.

When it comes to humanities, Rome magazine.

Was it music, math and astronomy? Anyway, it was said that the concept of free humanities and literature was created by combining the 4th department and the 3rd department.

Academics develop in many ways like this.

So it doesn’t make sense to say that only literature is a boring level at the level of major books.

Like any other world cartoon, clothing and housing culture have developed, but they are nomadic people who don’t know the concept of ‘delicious’.

Is there something else?

While thinking that, Princess Reina rolled her eyes and began to doze off.

Then a servant nearby quietly approached and began to look after Princess Reina.

“Hero.”

“Oh, yes. All right.”

The servant laid Princess Reina on her bed and briefly told her about Reina’s condition.

I heard that Princess Reina seems to be suffering from a disease called narcolepsy on Earth.

She is awake for about 4 hours a day at most.

Spent such valuable time reading my novels and chatting with me, the author.

That’s really heartbreaking.

So, even if you are not familiar with handwriting, you should try to write faster.

Anyway, the rough content up to episode 100 remains in my head.

Two weeks if you rush… No, it might be 10 days.

Since I was thinking that way, the servant who guided me to the room has bowed her head slightly to me.

“Thank you, warrior.”

“Yes?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Princess Reina so happy.”

“On the contrary, I am more grateful.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yes.”

Princess Reina used her precious time, which was only four hours a day, to read my novel.

It is the greatest honor as a writer to have such a reader.

Even if I write as a way to make money, the moment someone says they enjoy the novel I wrote is really thrilling.

Even a self-employed person who runs a restaurant to make money will smile all day long if a customer tells him to thrive.

Even if it doesn’t make money, there is something that transcends it.

So, I want to write a novel right away.

I want to show my novel to people who find it interesting.

I want to see my novel spread around the world and many people enjoying it.

“Sorry. I wasted my time.”

After saying that, the servant left quietly.

… Also I guess I’m lucky

In fact, Namin servants show that much loyalty.

To that extent, it must mean that Prince Albert is a person of character, and that his daughter, Princess Reina, is a good person.

I think Prince Albert would have treated me as an honored guest even if I wasn’t a warrior.

No, if it wasn’t for the hero, it wouldn’t have worked, right?

Come to think of it, this world has almost the same gravity as Earth.

The terms used may be different, but it seems to be metric.

There are not one or two things that are a little strange to dismiss as coincidences.

This is a planet like Earth’s parallel dimension, and could there have been people from Earth among the past warriors?

“Ah.”

I had to research the materials in the library to write Volume 2, but I forgot.

For some reason, the librarian feels uneasy about going, so….

ㅡ When are you going to write it?

I remembered Princess Reina’s words as she dozed off in her bed.

This should go.

With that in mind, I moved to the library.

When I opened the library door with a strange sense of tension, the usual smell of old books wafted in.

It is a feeling that the faint yet damp smell soothes the anxious mind.

I passed the librarian and headed directly to the bookshelf.

I could feel the gaze, but I didn’t bother to react.

As I was looking around the book like that, I couldn’t think of the librarian anymore.

Isn’t it because of my mood?

It was a moment when I looked around the bookshelf with that thought in mind.

… Feather?

Something that looked like a feather was stuck in the crack in the window near the window.

I thought it might be possible, but for some reason, I kept getting nervous.

I compared the feathered window with the windows around it.

Then I noticed a strange difference.

It was dust on the window frame.

Only the window, which looked like a bird’s feather, showed signs of being recently opened and closed.

Calls?

Why?

According to Prince Albert’s words, this country I am staying in is a country that has recently become independent as a principality.

Then that suspicious librarian….

Spy?

When I thought that, my spine started to get chilly.

If possible, don’t come late.

And just in case you don’t know, let’s secretly talk to Prince Albert.

I found a book suitable for such a decision and left the library.

For some reason, I felt like something was about to happen.
