Chapter 223

• When the crown prince returned to the palace, he took out his drawing materials, ready to stay up all night doing what he loved. This was one talent he had acquired that neither of his parents had. With smiles covering his face, he imagined and drew the snowy strange woman boldly, all features displayed and hung in his room.
• He stood a foot away from the wall, staring at the drawing, his heart racing in joy. “If I have a duel with you and am defeated, you will be my master. If you refuse, I'll report you to my father.” he clapped his hands in happiness.
• The next day, he set out again to the woods without telling anyone. He had a bet with the snowy woman that they would meet and have a duel, and if he were defeated, the woman would have no option but to be his master.
