The Groom From The Fairy-Tale Land 17. Untrust
Adro walked along the corridor and found many doors facing each other. When he reached a small lobby, he saw two people sitting on the long waiting room chairs, which were quite crowded during the day.Now, Adro was no longer met with strange stares. It seemed that his current clothes were not unusual for them."Excuse me, sir. Do you need something?"Adro turned to the source of the voice. A middle-aged woman stood behind a semi-circular desk, looking at him with a friendly smile."Are you talking to me?" Adro asked.The nurse nodded. "You seem confused. Are you looking for something?""Oh, I am." Adro approached the desk. "If you could help me, do you know where I can find a door that can take me to places?"The nurse furrowed her brow upon hearing Adro's question. She tilted her head slightly and asked, "I’m sorry, but can you provide more details about the door you mean?"Adro paused to think. He recalled Grace's advice not to speak too much because he was a stranger in this place
The Groom From The Fairy-Tale Land 18. Hallucination
The elevator stopped, and its doors opened. Peter stepped out, followed by Adro. Then he scanned his surroundings. It was indeed a different place, even though it had a similar concept to the places Adro had visited inside this large building."Come with me, Mr. Groendez," Peter said, gesturing with his hand.The hospital looked empty because it was late at night. However, there was a glass door that remained open, with several stalls selling food inside."So, this is the place they call a cafeteria?" Adro asked.The boy nodded. "I'm going to get a burger over there," he said, pointing to a stall selling hotdogs and burgers.When they reached the stall, Peter placed an order from the food items listed on the menu. Then he turned to the man beside him, who seemed busy studying various things in the stall. "Aren't you ordering?""No, I didn't bring any money," Adro replied, following Peter to sit at the nearest table."This is the first time I've heard of an adult not carrying money. Th
The Groom From The Fairy-Tale Land 19. Accommodate A Stranger
‘A prince came out of a dead-end door? A fairytale prince, who had to return to his kingdom because his bride was waiting? Even kids these days know that such a story doesn't make sense—it's all just a lie. Did all the problems in my life make my subconscious mind try to escape from reality?’ Grace wondered, holding her head with both hands.But suddenly, a sound from the door caught her attention and made her turn her head. A man with glass blue eyes walked in and stared directly at her."Oh, you are done?" Adro asked, closing the door and approaching Grace. "I’m sorry, I went out without telling you. I was getting bored in this room alone, so I thought of taking a short walk. Then, how are you now?"The brown-eyed girl just stared blankly at Adro. Her body looked frozen, leaving Adro puzzled."Well... Is there something wrong? Are you okay?" Adro sat on the corner of the bed.Grace swallowed hard before turning her face away. Her eyes were still trembling, and she had to regulate he
The Groom From The Fairy-Tale Land 20. Art Lover Prince
Sarah chuckled and then looked back at the man with squinted eyes. "Are you seriously unable to unfasten it?"In the back seat, Grace could only watch the scene with frustration. Because of her cast foot, she was placed in the back passenger seat, while Adro sat in the front passenger seat next to Sarah.Earlier, Adro had difficulty opening the car door and fastening his seatbelt. Those things had Sarah baffled to the point that she thought he was just joking."Adro comes from an extremely… remote village, Sarah. He rarely rode a private car, so, you know, Grace tried to explain.Sarah just took a deep breath and shook her head briefly. She couldn't believe there was someone as primitive as Adro in this world. To her, it was utterly absurd. Moreover, she had heard that Adro was something like an opera or theater actor, so it was hard to believe that he had never been in a private car, let alone didn’t know how to open a car door as basic as hers.As time passed, Sarah's suspicion grew
The Groom From The Fairy-Tale Land 21. Need A Help
Grace smiled as she rolled her wheelchair closer to Adro. She tilted her head up to look at the paintings she saw every day without getting bored."What do you think of this painting?" Grace asked."I love it. The faces of the three women have different expressions. The positioning of each of them seems to convey a deep meaning. The background is also dramatic with its dark colors. It makes me curious about its true meaning," Adro answered.Grace looked at Adro with sparkling eyes. It was the most beautiful feedback she had ever received for her artwork."Can I ask you something?" Grace inquired.Adro turned to her and nodded once. "Of course."Then Grace took a deep breath and asked, "If you were the painter of this artwork, how would you interpret it?"“Well... this is the first time I've been asked a question like that by someone." Adro said, slightly furrowing his brow and tilting his head."If-If you're not willing to answer, that's fine. It's just a silly and unimportant questio
The Groom From The Fairy-Tale Land 22. Only A Dream
Gently, Adro helped Grace back into the wheelchair. Then he let go of his hand after making sure the girl was seated properly."Th-thank you," Grace said, hanging her face down.Adro nodded slightly. "You're welcome!" Then he placed the cup on the counter. "You should ask for help if you need it. That was very dangerous. Just imagine if you were alone here, and no one could help you.""That's because I'm used to it," Grace muttered."Pardon?" Adro looked at Grace and squinted his eyes. "Did you say something?"Grace shook her head and gave an awkward smile. "Nothing. It's not important.""What were you trying to do? Let me help you with it," Adro asked."I wanted to prepare a drink for us. I was thirsty, and you might be too," Grace replied as she moved her wheelchair back when Adro stepped to the side of the counter."I see. Can I use the cups over here?" Adro pointed to the dish rack.Grace nodded and pointed upward. "I usually use cups in the hanging cabinet, but since I can't reac
The Groom From The Fairy-Tale Land 23. As A Royal
"I hope you'll find a man who treats you well and sincerely," Adro said, giving a warm smile.Grace stared into those crystal eyes with a pounding heart. She almost drowned in that gaze. However, she had to quickly realize that she shouldn't get too close to Adro. Besides their different worlds, Adro was engaged to another woman.Clearing her throat, Grace forced a chuckle and said, "Sorry for saying unnecessary things. Oh... look! I've become skilled with the crutches. It's thanks to you."Adro smiled and nodded once. "Glad to help you. You're an independent woman.""Everyone becomes independent when circumstances force them to. My grandmother used to say, As humans, we must be able to adapt quickly—even though I still struggle with that, to be honest," Grace replied, her voice dwindling to a murmur."Your grandmother was a wise woman. No wonder you grew into a woman with a beautiful heart. No need to judge yourself," Adro said."Well, that’s so kind of you, but it seems I've only gr
The Groom From The Fairy-Tale Land 24. The Way Back
"Um... is there something wrong?" Grace asked."It's just..." Adro stopped. His eyes were still fixed on the flashlight. "I just remembered that it's inappropriate for a royal to put their head low, and moreover, near the floor."“What?” Grace muttered with a furrowed brow. Then she realized and pulled the flashlight back before turning it off. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I forgot that you're a prince, and I don't know the rules in the kingdom." Then she placed the flashlight back in the drawer. “I'll look for it again when my ankle has healed. It's not so important, anyway.""I’m sorry, I can't help you with this," Adro said with a slightly lowered face.Grace shook her head. "No… You're a prince in your kingdom. Of course, I understand that.""Thank you for being understanding." Adro smiled a little.Silence enveloped them for a few seconds. They stood there, staring at each other with blinking eyes.Clearing her throat, Grace finally found something to say, "Well, you said you couldn
