The Prince's Revenge
08: Reasons
*“*So, are you going to be casting?” Mysha asked as she looked at Egon's eyes in hope. As if He forced to answer ‘iya.’
Egon, who felt overwhelmed by Mysha's gaze without answering anything, told Mysha to return to continue her dinner. Other than because Egon himself was worried about Mysha who previously looked exhausted, he wanted Mysha to calm his heart first. Because for Egon, taking a job as a movie player is a big step that he must really think about first, not just because of sheer lust.
“Oh yes, you said earlier, who contacted you?” Mysha restarted the conversation about Egon's casting invitation after he finished his meal.
*“*Hmm.. I don't remember whose name it was, but, he's from miracle entertainment.”
“Oh! I know that! That famous production company has debuted many talented young artists!”
“Really? Do you think I'd better come? According to my own judgment, it seems like I am not very talented in the role art.”
“Hmm.” considering how Egon first took a selfie, Mysha did initially think that Egon had no talent for being a celeb. But, seeing how he posed when Mysha took his picture, also the development of Egon these few weeks, according to Mysha, things like this just need time to get used to. “How about you try first?” Further.
“Do you think I can?”
Seeing the seriousness of Egon when asking, made Mysha speechless. Egon seemed to send a telepathy to Mysha, that the decision this time could not play games.
Mysha folded her arms in front of her chest, leaning against her dining chair, she asked the man before her. “Egon, are you leaving here?” His eyes that always looked round, looked at his two eyes boldly.
“I am one of the people who always plan the things I will do in the future. Because, I don't want to regret the time that would be wasted if I didn't do it.” Before answering Mysha's question, Egon tried to explain her circumstances first.
Mysha poked her ears carefully while waiting for Egon to answer her question.
“But, ever since I showed up here, for some reason, there's always been fear every time I want to make a plan. I was afraid that someday I would return to my place without being given a chance to finish the things I had started here.”
Mysha noticed both of Egon's eyes that looked a little wistful. For some reason, he could clearly understand Egon's feelings. Maybe because he has the same fear. Afraid that Egon would suddenly disappear without saying goodbye.
‘Then, If you have this kind of thinking, why did you kiss me that time?’ Hearing that, Mysha immediately thought of the incident some time ago—which of course, it made her a little upset—.
However, despite her regret, Mysha was grateful, before meeting Egon, she had already gained enlightenment for the matter from Floria.
“To be honest, I am also afraid, if suddenly have to lose you.” Mysha tried to explain her feelings. “But, wouldn't it be better to be sorry for trying than sorry for never trying?”
“…”
“Even if you suddenly go back there, this will be a good memory, right?” Mysha said with a smile.
“And again, think about this! If the possibility of you returning is there, then the possibility that you will be here forever is also there, ‘kan?” continued.
Egon was silent at Mysha's words. ‘Mysha is right, if there is any chance of me returning it means there is also a chance I will be here forever’ he thought.
‘It seems that I was too frightened if I suddenly returned to my world, to the point that something as trivial as this was just unconscious,’.
Egon then extended his hand to pick up the glass not far from the plate. Holding some water inside, while still thinking about what Mysha said.
"I have an idea! How about you try acting practice first? There are still 3 days before casting day, ‘kan?" Suddenly Mysha's voice broke Egon's concentration. Egon instantly saw Mysha's round eyes that were shining again.
"You really wish I was ‘Egon’ huh?" Egon.
"alright, I will try it,” resigned to his behavior, Egon also accepted Mysha's offer. “So, what kind of acting exercise do you mean?"
"Ah that..Just sec..." Mysha, who tends to be easily distracted, immediately got up from her seat and walked to the computer desk to pick up the TV remote. After that, he went to his bed and invited Egon to sit next to him.
"Look, actually I subscribe to cable TV. Here we can watch a lot of movies." While continuing to move her finger on the remote, Mysha showed various kinds of film covers that were plastered on the TV screen.
"So, to make a movie, each player performs a scene as if they were in their true state. Then, it was all recorded and edited. Sound, mimic, eye sight, may be as intense as when playing a theater, but the intensity is different.” Mysha.
"Hmm. I think I can understand.. It's like when I make video ads on Instagram, right? Just with a different setting?"
"Yes! Right! Well, with this, I was thinking how about we watch a few movies first so we can get an idea of what we can prepare for casting later? If in these 3 days you don't feel right, you don't have to come!" Mysha smiled broadly at Egon. He is again seen trying to bounce Egon to obey him.
"Alright.." although Egon felt a little overwhelmed with Mysha's smile, Egon agreed.
"Glave!!!! Well, then, since the novel 'The Dark Prince' is a royal theme, how about we watch a drama set in the same place?" mysha happily began to choose film filters with royal themes.
'It looks like I should avoid vulgar themes because we are just the two of us. But, isn't 'the dark prince' even a vulgar story? In the drama later, it might be eliminated' Mysha who should focus on choosing a drama that if suitable for Egon to study, Mysha should focus on choosing a drama that is suitable for Egon to learn, instead, remember how the scene of Egon in the novel that had intercourse with one of the women sent by the king. The shape of Egon's body and the atmosphere of the time, well described by the author, certainly makes the chapter stick well in Mysha's memory. And now, the characters in the story are beside him, Mysha also refrained from imagining further.
"Mysha, is there any chance of me having intercourse in the drama?" Suddenly the same question came out of Egon's mouth. As if caught off guard with her perverted thoughts, Mysha was a little jolted as soon as she heard it.
"Hmm? Why are you suddenly asking like that?"
"Ah, the film cover, some look open.. I'm curious.."
"Oh. hmm. maybe not, depending on the director and the story writer, who they are targeting to be the audience.."
"That's it.." Egon responded in a dissatisfied voice. "By the way, I don't think I've told you about this yet."
"About what?"
"The novel, it does have a story that is almost the same as the one I experienced, but, that is not entirely true. Like the story in my second life, with daughter Anastasia. He was indeed ordered to come to the room by the king, but, no more than that, we were just talking."
"Oh?" hearing that, for some reason Mysha's heart felt calm. He was suspicious of the story, as many women were ordered to serve Egon, but none of them succeeded in teasing him. Then, why with princess Anastasia the story is different?
Indeed, in the novel princess Anastasia is described as a woman who has an unparalleled appeal. Even an Egon who looked uninterested in anyone, was fascinated with him. But, Mysha did not believe that an Egon who hated her father would still accept her father's errand woman. After all, Mysha was sure Egon did not judge women just by physicality.
"You know that Princess Anastasia, my sister's wife, Frederick. Perhaps this is not in the novel's story, but they have a child from their relationship. Their son is similar to me... I saw it during the beheading in the town square.” For the first time in Mysha's life, she saw Egon's eyes show sorrow.
“From there I felt guilty for Frederick. That's why I try not to have any relationship with that woman in my next life,” he continued.
‘Then, why did you finally kill Frederick?’ In fact, he wanted to hear more about his story. But, he broke his intention. He thought that this topic was too sensitive for him to ask further. He was determined to wait for her until Egon told her first, like this matter.
"You're talking like this, as if, you're not the character of the novel.”
“Because I'm sure, I'm not from that novel”.
Seriate..
