A few weeks later, Prince Hyacinthos hummed to himself while sitting on a chair in an empty hallway. He was cutting pieces of silk to create artificial flowers.
He didn't like the thought of cutting the real flowers in the garden. And he was rather bored, so he decided to keep himself busy this way. Ren Jidian went to the agora to buy some new books for him. And the 'scholar' was pleased to learn that he enjoyed reading and learning about new fictional stories.
They actually have that in common. Back in his world of origin, Ren Jidian was not smart but enjoyed the escapist fantasy of books. He liked being able to imagine himself as someone else, to be the Alpha hero that he could not be.
"He is more similar to His Majesty than he thinks, and yet they still don't get along. A shame, really." He mumbled.
Snip! Snip!
