The Concept Game, Volume #2

You and your friends were planning your annual trip. This year it was your turn to choose the location and you had a hard time trying to choose. Letting fate decide, you closed your eyes and threw a dart on the map you had posted up. Hearing it stick, you opened your eyes and walked towards the map. You see that it landed on a country that you're not quite familiar with.

"Have you guys heard of this place before?" You asked your friends after telling them where your dart landed.

"Not really, we should definitely do some research before we decide to go. What if they don't let outsiders in?" One of your friends replied. You all then took to your own devices and started to do a deep dive on this new country.

After all of your cohesive research, and seeing that they allow travelers, you all agreed to visit this new destination. The arrangements were made immediately after and now all you had to do was pack and wait for that day.

When that day finally arrived, you were all buzzing with excitement.

"This day couldn't have come any faster." One of your friends said, plopping down in their seat of the plane.

"I know! It left like time was dragging on before today." Another one spoke, everyone else agreeing in unison. You all got in your seats, and after a few hours, you arrived to the vacation spot.

Once you landed and got all of your bags, you all transported to your local accommodation.

"Just like that, vacation time has officially begun!" You exclaimed and you all squealed in excitement.

After taking a quick break, you all left to walk around and find a place to eat. While you all were walking, there was a food cart that suddenly lost control. It was coming at everyone full speed and your friends were able to quickly out the way since they were behind you.

"_____, watch out!"

Not hearing the commotion until the last few seconds, you turn around to see the cart heading right for you. Frozen in shock, you didn't move but luckily you were quickly pulled out of the way. You watched as the cart crashed against the nearby wall.

"Are you okay?" You hear someone ask you. Finally coming to your senses, you realize in the arms of a stranger. Looking at their face, you unconsciously let out a gasp. You were truly convinced that this was all a dream. A handsome man saved your life????

"Y-yeah I'm okay. It would have been a different outcome if you weren't here so thank you so much." You expressed wholeheartedly.

"_____! Oh thank goodness you're okay! Thank you so much sir." Your friends said one by one.

"How brave the royal highness is!" You hear a bypasser say.

"Royal highness?" You asked.

"Yes, I'm the prince of this country."

"PRINCE?!" You and your friends all exclaimed. You all stared at him with wide eyes and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Yes, it's true. I probably shouldn't do this but I am going to become king eventually so I might as well start doing stuff that I want to do. Would you all like to see the castle?" The prince offered.

"How did we not know this place had a castle?"

"I might have found one but forget to mention it." You said, awkwardly scratching the back of your neck.

"____..."

"What! It doesn't matter now, we get it see it. Lead the way, your highness." You said, trying your best to curtsy. You hear a giggle from behind you.
