S1 E39: Winter☆Wonderland

Reyna Harusame 春雨 レイナ

It's officially winter in Japan. Our school decided to produce a drama featuring me and my friends. As the actresses of the show, we were given early access to watch it.

"I'm excited!" Kiyoko cheered as she stuffed some popcorn into her mouth.

I set up my laptop and Bluetooth speakers on a desk. The five of us were huddled together.

"It's starting!" Yana exclaimed.

There is a land in the Realm of Dreams filled with snow and ice. It was known as the Winter Palace.

The Winter Palace had a royal family ruling the area. The current king, Fuyuto Gin (played by Gin) and his younger sister, Fuyuto Shizuha (played by Hatsuko) were well-known battle strategists who protected the palace from enemies during their father's reign. When their father passed away due to an illness, Gin inherited the throne.

During his time, Gin travelled to Spring Palace where he met a princess known as Harumi Reyna (played by Reyna). She was the most beautiful girl he had ever met in his life. One day, in one of the palace gardens, Reyna was sitting among the flowers. Gin walked up to her.

"You're here again," Reyna told him.

"So are you," Gin replied.

"I live here."

The king sat next to her. "I know that. Do you like it here?"

Reyna hesitated. "It gets tiring sometimes. But I love the flowers here. They bloom in vibrant colours. And the spring rain is so warm."

"You like the warmth more than the cold, don't you?" Gin asked.

Twirling her hair, the princess thought about that for a moment. "Why are you asking?"

"Um, would you like to travel to the Winter Palace?" Gin asked shyly.

Reyna blushed. "With you?"

Gin nodded. "You can leave whenever you want."

"I've never been there before," the princess sighed. "Besides, my father wants me to marry the next king of the Spring Palace. The only reason for that is because my 'future husband' and father are in great terms. I'm basically a stepping stone for him to earn his position."

Looking at Reyna, the king asked, "Do you wanna marry him?"

Reyna shook her head. "I don't like him. I'd much rather go somewhere else..."

"So do you wanna go to the Winter Palace with me?" Gin asked again.

Reyna's face turned red again. "Yeah, sure."

Gin smiled as the two of them got up. "You know, there is a way to avoid that marriage."

"I'd have to marry someone else..." Reyna noted. "Why are you smiling like that? Don't tell me you want to..."

"Yeah, I do," Gin replied shyly.

Reyna blushed immensely. "You're kidding, right?"

"Not at all."

The two of them gazed at each other. Then Reyna said, "Alright."

"Stop laughing at me!" I screamed in embarrassment.

"Congratulations on becoming Gin's wife in the movie, Reyna!" Sayako laughed.

My other friends smirked. "Remember what the director said after we filmed that scene?" Syurina asked. "He said you were so natural!"
