Prologue：
This is a story about something very unexpected that happened to us, not that long after we finally got engaged...
I'd just returned to the palace after visiting the border regions and discussing matters with the nobility who oversaw them.
It had been a long visit, and I was more than ready to take a break, so I headed for my room.
??? "Hey."
I stopped and glanced back to see Alyn hurrying towards me, something in his hand.
Alyn "You forgot this."
Jily "Oh!"
Alyn had been my bodyguard for the trip, and now he was holding out a slim book with a faded red cover.
Jily "Thanks, Alyn!"
Alyn "I thought you were unusually calm about the long carriage ride. Didn't realize you were gonna spend it all reading."
Jily "I did! This isn't a normal book, though, it's a diary!
Jily "It was written by another princess, who lived in the palace a long time ago.
Jily "I found it just the other day, in a room that nobody really uses anymore."
I hugged the diary to my chest, feeling again an odd sense of kinship with the woman who'd written it.
Alyn "Hmph. Why would you wanna read something like that?"
Jily "Because she wrote all sorts of interesting things in it!
Jily "She even wrote about how she ended up inside a picture book and visited her memories with her prince!"
Alyn "...Huh?"
Jily "I know, it sounds a little wild. But she wrote about it in so much detail! She says it was a picture book from the library here!
Jily "Apparently they fell into it somehow, and they didn't get out till they found something that was dear to them both.
Jily "And she said she learned a lot about his feelings while they were in there, and it made her really happy.
Jily "Doesn't it make you wonder?"
Alyn "Did you find it, then?"
Jily "I did! I found it in the library, but... all the pages are blank."
I'd borrowed the picture book from the library, hoping to make sense of those blank pages.
But no matter how many times I flipped through the book, the pages stayed blank, and nothing happened.
（I'm certain it's the book she talked about in her diary, too.
（It was in the place she said it was, and the cover is exactly as she described it.）
Alyn "It was probably just some dream she had, don'tcha think?"
Jily "I guess so."
I nodded reluctantly, not quite ready to let go of the excitement and hope I'd felt that it might be real.
Alyn studied me curiously for a moment, and then he muttered under his breath,
Alyn "Even if the book doesn't do anything, all you gotta do is ask.
Alyn "Ask him how he really feels."
（I guess you're right.
（I mean, we're engaged now, right?
（We promised to be together forever.
（It's not so difficult to ask things like that anymore.）
Jily "Maybe I will. Thanks, Alyn."
＊＊＊
Alyn's words gave me courage, and I decided to stop pining over the picture book and take it back to the library.
But as I made my way through the courtyard, I couldn't help flipping through it one last time, wondering at the blank pages.
??? "Jily."
（Ahh, no matter how many times I hear your voice—）
I looked up quickly, my heart racing, and sure enough, he was standing right there.
My heart skipped a beat as I beamed happily at him, and started to hurry towards him.
But I'd barely taken a step when a sudden gust of wind came rushing through the courtyard, whipping my hair around my face.
I froze as the pages of the picture book in my hands began flipping wildly, the sound so loud I could hear it over the wind.
Jily "What the—"
A bright white light surrounded me, and it looked for all the world as if my fingers were disappearing into the blank pages.
（What's going on?! Don't tell me—）
My heart lurched as a powerful force seemed to grab me and drag me right into the book...
