The woman knew that the white-horse prince was fake, too.
Fortunately,
the prince who rode a white horse and wielded a sword existed only in fairy tales.
But in the real world, she had found a prince of her own.
The woman smiled.
She had become his princess.
She had originally thought that the old woman had been waiting all along for the prince she couldn't let go of.
Her thinking had been too limited.
The love story she'd imagined was a lie.

The woman felt tempted.
"I can't prove it."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
The unexpected answer left the woman
