"Earlier, you mentioned that living alone is boring, even for a quiet person like you," Adro said."That's true, but you still have to go home, right? I'm not trying to kick you out. Honestly, I'm quite glad you're here to liven up the atmosphere in this house. I just don't want to take advantage of your situation just to make myself feel better," Grace explained as she gazed blankly at her cereal bowl.Adro was silent, staring at Grace. "Then, my presence makes you feel better?"Realizing what she had just said, Grace raised her face and looked at Adro. She blinked several times, feeling her cheeks getting warm. "I-I mean, my feelings about this house. You know, I used to have my grandma; we lived together. But when I suddenly had to live alone, it felt a bit strange. If there's someone else living here, it wouldn't feel as lonely as when I'm alone.""I-I think everyone would feel the same as I do. I once invited Bella to live with me, but she chose to live with her boyfriend after h

The streets were illuminated by streetlights and car lights. Inside a moving taxi, Adro watched the business from the window. "What's that large vehicle?"Grace, who was lost in thought while staring out the other window, leaned over to see what Adro was pointing at. "Oh, that's a bus.""I saw many of them on the road. They carry a lot of people who often get on and off at the roadside," Adro observed."Buses are a common mode of transportation used by the residents of Torben. You can travel to almost anywhere by bus," Grace explained.Adro furrowed his brow. "Are bus fares cheaper than taxis?""They are. But buses are often crowded, and they only stop at designated stops, so it's easier and more comfortable to use a taxi.""Why do we always use taxis then?" Adro raised an eyebrow."Well... that's because my ankle is injured. On the other hand, I'm also not sure you would be comfortable squeezing into a bus," Grace explained."

"Gosh! You know that is hard to believe, right, Grace?" Sarah said."Believe me, Sarah; I'm more depressed than you about this because I experienced it myself. Now you should understand why from the beginning, I was reluctant to explain it to you all," Grace replied."Fine!” Sarah clucked. “So, Adro comes from another world, and he's a prince who was about to get married, and now he can't go back to his world because the door that brought him here is broken?" Sarah shortened Grace's lengthy explanations."That's correct. But if you don't believe it, that's okay. I won't force you," Grace said. Even after explaining at length, she still heard clear doubt in Sarah's voice."No. No. I do believe it. Well, more precisely, what I believe is that you're not lying to me. But that doesn't rule out the possibility that you're the one being used by him, right?"“I don't know about that, Sarah… I hope he is indeed a good guy. But agai

"All right! Hopefully, we'll be lucky today," Adro sang before glancing at Grace. "You've sacrificed a lot for this.""Hey... It's my day off," Grace chuckled."A day-off you forced to take in the middle of your hectic class schedule," Adro added.Grace shook her head once. "Nope. I do enjoy going to the city library, so it feels like a short vacation for me."Smiling a little, Adro patted Grace's shoulder before guiding her towards the library entrance. He knew Grace was just finding positive reasons to accompany him. However, he wouldn't try to bring that up this time so they could make good use of their time because, since Grace entered the exam period, they rarely had the chance to enjoy time together, even just

"You will start working tomorrow?" Grace's eyes widened. She almost dropped a piece of sausage in her mouth."Yes. I even got a uniform." Adro nodded without lowering his chin."But... are you sure about working there?" Grace asked.Rolling his eyes, Adro complained, “My God, Grace, why do you always do this? Just because I'm a prince who lives in a palace doesn't mean I can't do various things. I swear I'll slay a dragon in front of you if there's a chance, so please stop thinking of me as a spoiled prince.""It-it’s not that, Adro," Grace said before hurriedly sipping water to avoid choking. Then, she adjusted her seat to face him better. "I'm not thinking you wouldn't be competent as a fast-food server. I just thought... maybe there's a job more suitable for, well, your appearance... and background."Squinting his eyes, Adro recalled that a similar question was asked by Mr. Willis, the man who would be his boss tomorrow. The man whos
