I put the letter I wrote inside an antique box which I got from an antique shop by chance. Unexpectedly, I got a reply… from the attractive womanizer prince, Archie Albert, the supporting character in the novel “The Princess and the Knight”.

Cordelia was an editor from a publisher in London. By a string of fate, she suddenly could speak with Prince Archie, one of the character in the novel she was working on, “the Princess and the Knight” through letters.
Prince Archie requested her advice and assitance, knowing that she knew about the future of his world. They exchanged letters through the antique box she bought. One letter through another, they became close, and their relationship grows to be each other’s companion every night that summer.

To Archie,
Have you ever experienced this?
I was walking with someone, and the blooming flowers were spread out on the road.
—
So, did you do that with that man?
—
To Archie the scoundrel,
You have very indecent thoughts, Prince.
I am pretty sure that I am a woman who would think twice before I sleep with a man I just met for the first time.
—
Sleeping? What I meant is kissing.

Oh.. A kiss?
