<p> <em> The next day, the weather turned for the worse, with fog and drizzle, so they stayed at home. It was the day he observed her secret power, the princessly power of doing nothing gracefully. </em> </p> <p> <em> Staring for an hour at the fog outside, on the window sill, dressed only in one of his boxers and shirts, a cup of tea in hand. </em> </p> <p> <em> Leaning her head on his shoulder, her hands around his arm, eyes closed, for a couple of hours, while he was browsing data about rogue North Korean factions. </em> </p> <p> <em> Sitting all evening in the armchair, sipping mulled wine, wriggling her now sockless toes toward the fire, to enjoy the heat, her feet perched on the arm of the recliner. </em> </p> <p> <em> Contemplating the darkness of the night and the lamposts' meager light until late, then going to sleep, him holding her hand until the soft purrs of her snoring arrived. </em> </p> <p> <em> Just sitting and doing nothing was an art she had pushed to perfection. He invented a name for that: the do-nothingness and nicknamed her, that day, The Do-Nothing Princess. </em> </p> <p> Dear Reader: </p> <p> This is a romance novella set in this time of the year (Winter Holidays), in Prague. It has elements of fantasy and action, but romance, character building, and growing love relationship are the main features. I added a few light elements of Courtly Love, Korean drama, and humor, I hope the mix is fun enough to be read. To be honest, I had the idea while walking on the street, a week ago, and since then, most of my free time, day and night, had been spent to write it. It was a process I put my best effort in, and it was heartfelt, so if you read it, please don't give it a hate score. </p> <p> It has twenty chapters, and I will release a couple or so every day, and the last five will be up around New Year's Eve because they <em> do </em> happen on a New Year's Eve. Those chapters will have most of the fighting and the drama. To compensate for this, I put some humor in the middle, and a little adventurous breaking and entering. </p> <p> Cover photo by <a href="https://pixabay.com/users/free-photos-242387/"> Free-Photos </a> on Pixabay </p>
