2 Useless Iron Armor

"My Prince, it's been a week since you fell asleep. How many days do I still need to wait before I can see you awake and lively again?!" 

As these words came out, I felt my heart break into pieces. I don't have any idea who the girl named Jasmine was. There was no memory from the former owner of the body regarding her. However, there was a strange feeling that was very difficult to explain, making me want to hug and ease her sorrow. 

"I have to go now My Prince, may you wake up soon!" 

"I love you!" 

A warm sensation with a sweet fragrant arose as something soft pressed on my cheeks, leaving a wet mark on it. When I realized what had happened, my cheeks turned red and my heart throbbed faster.

Although I didn't see the face of the girl, with her sweet fragrance, pure voice accompanied by her beautiful name, I can tell she's a very fine young girl. It's difficult to resist the temptation, not to mention after a kiss. 

'How exciting!' 

But even though I was excited, I remained cool and suppressed even a minor movement. 

I still insisted on sleeping. 

After the kiss, I heard footsteps, and it slowly faded. With the 'click' from the door, I know they finally left. 

I carefully opened my eyelids, but I didn't open it wide open, just enough for me to see the surroundings. 

I let my eyes wander to see if anyone other than me was in the room. 

'Finally, I am alone again!' 

I closed my eyes again and stole a deep breath. 

You know that I just got reincarnated a few days ago, and only fragmented memories of the former owner of the body were what I have. With these limited memories, I planned to stay bedridden for a few more days to comprehend this memory and learn from it. 

With this, it will be easier to act like him without getting into any trouble.

If anyone found out that I wasn't asleep this early, I know I cannot act as the former prince. 

. . . 

After a few minutes...

Thinking that they might return, I passed a few more minutes before I sat up again. 

A smile broke into my lips as I remembered the kiss. I raised my hand and wiped the kiss with my palm before I put it under my nose and took a sniff. The sweet fragrance was still visible. I turned around and when I saw that there was no one; I kissed my palm. 

'An indirect kiss with a fairy!' 

I chuckled. Although my action was creepy, I know it's just a normal action with a perverted person like me. 

Suddenly, a doubtful expression appeared on my face as I remembered something. I tilted my head and turned around again. 

'I think I saw something nice a while ago!' 

A whole ago when I turned around to look if someone was with me, I saw an iron armor that was standing at the corner beside the table. 

And I was correct. There really was armor, and it wasn't just my imagination. Just a casual wander and I easily found it.  

"An armor! Wow!" 

I said, suppressing the heat of excitement in my heart. 

You know that on earth, there is no way one can see armor casually. You can only find armor when you visit a museum. Unfortunately, I didn't have too much time to wander back then. 

Hehe~ wait...

However, just as I was about to laugh, it halted when an idea popped up in my mind.  

My mind turned blank at this realization. 

"I am now a prince and I live in a palace. Of course, armors are not a new thing inside this place, and maybe this is just trash in here" 

The excitement in my heart died within a blink of an eye. Regardless, I still looked. 

I hopped down from the bed and walked towards the armor. 

Anyway, these past few days since I got reincarnated, I was busy analyzing the memories and also thinking about various nonsense. 

'Now that I have some courage, I should look at this prince's room!'

Although the system can give me a fortune (gold coins), I won't gain anything unless I talk with a girl. With my current situation, I will stay poor ass. 

'Nonetheless, whatever the situation is, I should look if there is Gold.'

I sealed all the nonsense at the back of my mind as I reached the armor. 

Oh!

My lips shaped into "O" as I nodded my head. I raised my hand and laid it on the armor surface, carefully analyzing the textile of its surface. 

The armor was just on my size; it was about six flat, only the shape wasn't on par with me. 

My face turned thicker as disappointment bloomed in my heart. With my hand on my stomach, I tried to grab my fat but failed. I shook my head and sighed continuously. 

'Why is this prince so damn fat?!'

I said, my upper lips curled mockingly. 

'Forget it!'  

A burst of bitter laughter echoed in my head. I looked at the feet of the armor and saw that they also made even its boots from iron. 

'How many pounds does this armor have?' 

Doubt appeared in my mind. Is there even anyone able to lift this? What's more to wear? 

'From head to toe, it's pure iron. How heavy is this shit?!'

I turned around and walked towards the table, leaving the armor without a second idea. 

'I think that armor is just some type of collection in here!'   

I walked towards the table and carefully sat on the seat. I tried my best not to sit too fast, lest I break the seat. 

My eyes wandered on the table, but only a pile of scattered papers was what I could see.  

'What are these papers?!' 

I picked up one paper and saw some unfamiliar format of words on it, but strangely, I can understand what it meant. 

On the paper, what was written were useless love letters: a confession or a girl to a guy. 

'Useless!' 

Without consideration, I threw it away. 

'It seems there is nothing to loot in this room!' 

A bitter smile broke on my lips. It seemed this prince was playing with my emotions. 

'Mhmm?'

I was about to stand up when I spotted something like a secret compartment under the table. 

'There was no luck, but solely a nub. '

'How careless!' 

I set my hand on the nub and pulled it open. 

However, it turned out it's just a cover, and another layer of lock appeared after it. 

'Dang it!' 

"Prince Winston, I knew you are already awake"
