[Story 1]
[Princess Dalina: Extra]
…
I wonder sometimes.
It was a fateful encounter.
It's so strange that when you see someone for the first time, you feel that you can spend your whole life with him or her. No matter in what form, having this person in your life seems to be a natural and anticipated happiness.
I always remember the scene when I first met him.
Of course, now maybe I should call her "she". But at that time... who would have thought she was a girl? His facial features were deep, and although he did look soft, his every move was heroic. He was tall and looked very handsome in formal clothes.
...Later, Ryan told me that she was tall because she added several layers of thick insoles.
But no matter what, she is a handsome prince in my heart. From the first time I saw her, I felt that this person must be involved in my life. I want to be "his" wife.
But things are never as we wish.
She told me she was a girl. I knew she did that because she was afraid I would get stuck in the mud, and at the same time, she had no intention of marrying me... I almost broke down at that time, but I was willing to accept it in the end. Really, I think I love this person, not her gender.
I am very grateful for her fulfillment, even though when she agreed to marry me, I clearly realized that the rest of my life would be spent in a married life similar to friendship, and all our warmth would have nothing to do with love.
But I am willing. As I said, I will try my best to be a good princess and a good queen, because she is the one, and I am willing to take on everything.
This wish was eventually shattered.
When I am carefully loving someone, that person is also carefully loving another person.
It was me who suggested helping them leave.
Ryan is very kind. I can see that she doesn't want to implicate me. I believe she can find a better way to take the beauty away and also give me a good settlement.
But I don't want to do that.
I was willing to offer my help and help them leave in a selfless gesture, but I knew I was selfish, and I just wanted Ryan to owe me something, so that she would occupy a part of her heart, even if that part was just guilt.
This is a secret thought hidden deep in my heart that cannot be seen by the light. No one knows.
Dear Ryan, you are blessed.
Although I still often dream about the time when we first met, I am also very happy now.
Wish us all the best.
…
The fair and tender little bun asked curiously, "Mother, what are you burning? Is it a letter?"
The mature and elegant queen nodded gently, "It's a letter addressed to myself. You can burn it now."
"Why burn it?"
"Because, that was the past."
The letter paper burned up in the flames of the fireplace, turning into thin and light ash. The queen opened her arms towards her son, and looked at the little prince in formal clothes rushing towards her, with a calm and soft feeling in her heart.
The king walked in from outside the palace with a smile on his face, "I heard you went out today?"
The queen nodded and smiled, "I went to visit a good sister from many years ago. She is doing well now."
The king raised an eyebrow and walked over to her and put his arm around her shoulders, "How good is that? Like us?"
Dalina smiled softly.
"Yeah... just as good."
