Almali - Prince of Malineglace - Sun End

Chapter 6 - That Light is...

Once Almali readied himself, he touched the jewels... 

(Wow...!) 

The jewels started shining here and there. 

People: Amazing...! They have never shined this beautifully before... This'll surely make the Diamond Maiden happy...

The cheers of the kingdom's people echoed. As if they were responding, the jewels' light had reached their climax. 

(Almali... Thank goodness...) 

Just as I became relieved, he looked at me with a gentle smile. 

(Really, thank goodness...) 

The light that was he was emitting was shining so softly that I etched it into my eyes for a long time... 

Chapter 7 - Him Changing

After the ceremony ended peacefully, we returned to the castle. 

MC: That's a relief... I was really worried. 

Almali: Yeah, sorry... for making you worry. 

Almali narrowed his eyes as he looked at me. That gentle expression made my heart throb. 

(Huh... I...?) 

Almali: Since the ceremony is over, how about we go to the flower field again? 

MC: ...S-Sure. 

Then, just as we were about to head to the flower field... From slightly afar, we heard the remnants of the castle gossiping about the ceremony. 

Soldier: Almali-sama did okay by himself. 

Maid: Right, despite that Tormali-sama is the one that's always leading him. 

(Thay're all praising Almali...) 

Soldier: Tormali-sama has a strange hobby in crossdressing after all. If someone had to take over the kingdom, I would've prefer Almali-sama. 

(Eh...) 

Maid: Indeed. A king that's interested in crossdressing, he'll be the laughingstock to the other kingdoms. 

(That's...) 

As Almali was watching beside me, he furrowed his brow and bit his lip. When I couldn't find the words to say... 

Maid: But, Tormali-sama is really cute. Probably even more than the Traumerei Princess... Even though I was looking forward to seeing what kind of person the Traumerei Princess was... She ended up being no different than a normal commoner girl. 

Next, I became the topic of their gossiping. 

(True... I'm not really like a princess...) 

At that moment... 

Almali: Don't say such terrible things about MC! 

MC: ...!

When Almali raised his voice, he stood before the soldier and the maid. 

(Almali...!) 

Soldier: A-Almali-sama...!

Almali: The same goes for Tormali... Don't ever talk about them like that again. 

As Almali scowled, he looked down. That expression made my heart tighten. 

Almali: Let's go, MC.

When Almali pulled my hand, we left from there. 

......

MC: A-Almali... 

As his hand was holding mine strongly, it made my heart pound loudly. 

Almali: ... 

When Almali stopped, he lets go of my hand and looked at me. 

Almali: ...Sorry. 

MC: D-Don't worry about it, I'm really like a normal person after all... 

Just as I smiled self-mockingly, Almali shook his head. 

Almali: ...That's not true. You sparkle, MC. 

(Almali...) 

His blue eyes were looking at me firmly. 

MC: ...!

Those straightforward and strong blue eyes made my heart throb... 

Almali: Let's go, MC. 

MC: O-Okay...!

(Did Almali seem... different somehow?) 

The dignified air around Almali was really fierce... In my heart, it somehow felt like it was about to burst loudly... 

Last Chapter - A Secret with Him

(This place is really nice...)

While the scent of the flowers was comforting, I became excited as I was drawn to the atmosphere. 

Almali: I'm really sorry about earlier. 

Almali lowered his eyelashes apologetically. 

MC: No, you don't have to worry about it. 

Almali: ...There are some people that don't think well of Brother. Even though it's true that he's strange. 

(Almali... He looks so sad...) 

When I shook my head, I looked at Almali in the eye. 

MC: I want to try meeting Tormali-san.

Almali: MC...

MC: Besides, he's your brother, so I'm sure that he's a wonderful person. 

Almali: Thank you, MC. 

When he happily narrowed his eyes, he took something out from his pocket. 

(What is it...?) 

Almali: Here...

A faint blue light was leaking out from Almali's hand...

(Pretty...) 

What he brought out was that beautiful jewel that I saw at the ceremony. 

(Ah...) 

MC: Come to think of it, why did you power go away at that time? 

Almali: That's... 

Almali's cheeks turned red a little.

(What's wrong...?) 

Almali: Do you know... the meaning behind this jewel?

MC: No... I don't. 

Almali narrowed his eyes gently. 

Almali: It holds a lot of meanings. Bravery, confidence and also... "Purity"...

MC: ...Purity? 

Almali: That's right, that's what I lost... That's why it didn't shine at that time... I think.

(He lost... purity? What does that mean...?) 

Without understanding, I looked at Almali's face. 

Almali: ...I. ...I fell in love with you, MC. 

(...!) 

His sudden confession surprised me that I couldn't speak. 

Almali: Up until now, I couldn't do anything without having Tormali with me. It felt like Tormali only sees me... I felt that I was only seeing Tormali too. 

I couldn't look away from his serious expression. 

Almali: But, I wanted to tell you about these feelings I'm having for the first time to you. 

MC: ...!

Almali: I... Right now, my heart is going very fast. I thought about how I want to touch you and stay close to you... But... As I was unsure on what to do, my heart tightens in pain...

MC: Almali... 

The jewel in his hand continued to shine without stopping. 

Almali: I couldn't understand the meaning behind these feelings... But, when I realized that it was love, I got this power back. 

The jewel shined even more. 

(Love...?) 

Almali placed the jewel in my hand. 

MC: ...Such a pretty light. This is Almali's light. 

Almali: ...This jewel holds another meaning. This light... Is a light of "happiness". I'm happy that I met you, MC.

The next moment, Almali's beautiful blue eyes got closer. Then, he gently kissed my cheek. 

MC: ...!

Almali: Falling in love has made me greedy. ...I want to touch you more. 

As he lowered his brow and smiled in embarrassment, he strongly held my hand. 

Almali: Looks like I'm no longer pure... I want to keep you... a secret from Tormali. 

(Almali...) 

As Almali made a mischievous smile, it made him different from the time I first met him. 

(But...) 

Despite my confusion, I became charmed by his warm hand and beautiful eyes. 

Almali: ...Can I touch you? 

When I lightly nodded, he placed his hand on my cheek. Then, Almali's face got closer... 

MC: ...

He placed a single kiss against my lips. When our lips parted soon after, Almali smiled as his face was all red. 

Almali: I... I want you to stay with me. 

His hand touched my hair and cheek many times as if he was confirming his feelings. Each time his hand touches me, my heart was beating loudly. 

(Almali...) 

As it felt like feelings of happiness were starting to overflow, the jewel in my hand emitted a lot of warm light...
