樱花公主的恋爱城堡 - Prologue @ 9:59 PM

So I just started reading this novel called: 樱花公主的恋爱城堡 or Princess Sakura's Love Castle. Cheesy name but the story sounded quite interesting from the prologue. By the way the story is written by 猪の呓.
Same rules apply to this novel as well as 1/2 Prince.

Prologue

Legend has it that Princess Sakura has a Love Caste, I’m not a princess, but, I will also have my own love castle. My princes, do you know that? Princess Sakura is here!

Theatre —

“Ah! My princess! I finally found you!”

“Yes! Prince, you finally found me!”

“And so, Cinderella and the Prince lived happily ever after!”

。。。。。。

Everyone is practicing hard for the last run-through before the Spring Festival performance 2 days away. Suddenly—

“WAHAAHAHAHA!!!”

“Péi Ruò Yīng!” The drama club’s leader Lín Xuě Zhèng is boiling mad as she stomped off towards the laughing manic.

“WAHAHA…HAHA….so funny! HAHA……ah? Xuě Zhèng?” I immediately stopped moving at all.

“You, you, you! This is the LAST rehearsal! You….” It looks like she’s going to die from being mad! Seems like she’s really mad this time!

“Ah! My beautiful leader! Be careful being this mad, wrinkles might start appearing!” It looks like I have to pull a “卖火柴的小女孩 (The Girl who Sold Matches)” pitiful look. I started crying while looking at her “Wahhh….I didn’t think! I didn’t mean to do it!”

“You, you you! Me, me, me! Ai…stupid! If you ever disturb my practice again I’ll beat you up!” Xuě Zhèng really hates seeing anyone cry, hehe. Safe!

However…the Prince and Princess are really ugly! And the script is disgusting! I remember from old childhood stores that the prince goes “Princess, I found you!” but why did they have to change it to “My princess”? On top of that, the scene where Cinderella goes to the ball, the Prince when he sees the Princess should say “Ah! What a cute girl!” but it got changed to “Ah! What a beautiful, cute, smart, gentle girl!” Also, Cinderella is a old story, does anyone believe in this anymore now?

Ehhh...you must not tell anyone that this play is written by my friend! Someone who can make people want to throw up, I think smiling is enough of a kind human gesture already! (Sorry this is a bit off from the Chinese version but I really don’t know how to put this into more understandable English.)

Me, Sakura Princess Péi Ruò Yīng, even though I’m not as beautiful as a princess should look, but! I have an amazing status that no one can compete with! Hehe, however, right now I cannot tell anyone!

This sort of disgusting play, I so don’t want to see it! Even though, it’s you who took me away from my studying time to come see this disgusting thing, but I have to look like I enjoy this! Horrible!

I want to go back to the dormitory! Humph.

。。。。。。

“Xiǎo Yīng…” Once I got back to the dormitory, my roommate Xuě Nǎi Xiāng came over holding a huge pile of papers. “Yesterday, the old lady next door came to get rent. Also, hydroelectric power bill came in.”

“So you go pay them!” I already paid for my share of the bill.

“Xiǎo Yīng! I…haven’t been able to make enough money. So…the beautiful, nice, thoughtful you…should help me….hehe…” Her stupid smiling face (unable to translate this properly, it’s just a Chinese expression) makes it hard to believe that she’s our high school’s number one female.

“Hehe, I also want to help you, but I don’t have enough money either…”

“If you want to help me, then that’s okay! Hehe, outside there’s a café shop that’s looking for waitresses! I already put your name down on the list.” That sneaky, dishonest girl immediately pushed me out the door. “Bye! I hope you have a good time working!”

。。。。。。

“Welcome!” Ah, ah, ah! How much longer would I have to live in this kind of life? Oh, my waist! Save me! Wah...why is the coffee shop so busy today?! I already bowed for over half an hour! God...

Ah! There’s a chair! My beautiful chair! I suddenly see just how beautiful you really are!

“Miss! Get me one of the cakes!” That was Table 3’s guests.

“Okay!” Even though I sound very polite, I really actually want to go up to him and hit him in the face! Then I want to go and say, “I quit!”

Ah! I hate this! I don’t want to work here anymore!

Suddenly I saw the face of the person to be blamed for the whole thing, my roommate: Xuě Nǎi Xiāng! Saying all that: “Yesterday, the old lady next door came to get rent. Also, hydroelectric power bill came in!”

Stupid! Even though, I Péi Ruò Yīng isn’t that beautiful, I count as a “kawaii” (cute in Japanese) type! So why is God always bullying me?

“Miss! Come here! I want to order now!”

“Coming!”

Actually I had just walked out for one step and started regretting it.

Who is it?! Just who is it that spilled oil on the floor?! Ah, ah, ah!!! My body is starting to move backwards on its own! God, I didn’t mean to yell at you! You...why are you so cold in revenging against me? My prince! Hurry up and save your princess!

“AHHHHHHH!!!!”

Sadly, my prince did not appear. I fell on the floor, legs in the air in a way that can be called “a turtle falling over.”

I quietly crawled up from the floor, forcefully raised my head, and saw a more beautiful than God’s face. Brown colored hair (flax really...but not sure what that is), clear and downcast eyes, high nose, a small mouth. His face looks like a piece of art! So handsome that it makes people dizzy!

But...he started making a “laughing” movement. It wasn’t just any laugh, but a big laugh that didn’t fit his face.

I fixed my hair super fast and then glared at him.

I know I wasn’t being careful, but why is he laughing at me that much?! This kind of prince, I really don’t like! I, Péi Ruò Yīng, really hate that kind of naturally perfect kind of people!

After laughing for a long time, he finally spoke: “Are you an idiot?”

Me? An idiot?!

“No. I’m. NOT.”

“Idiot...” he raised an eyebrow and asked “Do you have an illness? Why were you talking to yourself?”

“I don’t want to talk to this kind of person! If I talk to you it’ll ruin my noble spirit!” God! I feel like such an idiot. Maybe I should check into a mental hospital!

“You’re really funny!”

After saying that, he vanished from my eyes.

He left in a hurry! Okay! Today I will forgive you! Next time I see you, I’ll definitely beat you until you look like a pig head!
