Altair - Prince of Galassia - Sun End

Chapter 6 - Altair's Decision 

A few days later... 

-Flashback-

Altair: Vega is an important friend of mine.

---

Altair: Thinking about what's going to happen from here on and how I can settle this matter... I still haven't come up with an answer. If I could discuss this with Mother right now, then maybe... 

-Flashback-

Since then, Altair-san has been busy and time has passed without us meeting with each other. 

(Altair-san...) 

While I was sitting near the window, I thought about him as I was looking at the bright stars. 

(He was making such a pained expression... I wonder if he's okay.) 

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. 

Altair: It's me. 

MC: Altair-san!

When I quickly went to the door, I opened it. 

Altair: May I come in? 

MC: Sure. 

When I nodded, I let Altair-san in and we sat down next to each other on the sofa. 

Altair: Sorry for coming here this late. 

After saying that, Altair-san held my hand with both of his. 

Altair: I... As a prince, I want to protect this kingdom and Vega. So, I've decided to confront Mother. 

Altair-san looked straight at me in the eye as he said that... 

Chapter 7 - A Wish in the Starry Night

Altair: I... As a prince, I want to protect this kingdom and Vega. So, I've decided to confront Mother. 

Altair-san's hand was warm as it was holding mine... 

MC: Confront her... 

When I repeated those words, Altair-san's expression stiffened up. 

Altair: Yeah. I'm a prince after all. For the people, I need to face Mother. 

Suddenly, his grip on my hand became stronger. 

(Altair-san...?) 

MC: Could it be that you're nervous? 

When I asked that, his eyes widened in surprise. 

Altair: How... did you know? 

Altair-san stared at me blankly. 

MC: ...Because of the grip in your hand. 

Altair: !

He lets go of my hand in a panic and scratched his head troubledly. 

Altair: ...I'm at a loss. 

Despite that he's usually a dignified prince, the way he was acting was kind of cute that it made me break into a small smile. 

Altair: How pathetic... Even though I always speak so proudly, I'm feeling uneasy in such a critical moment. But, even if I can't do it well, the bond between both kingdoms... and Mother's position, I don't know what to do about them. I need to try... 

(The kingdom and the queen too... He wants to protect them all.) 

Touched by his kindness, I got a warm feeling in my chest. 

MC: It'll be okay. 

Once again, I held his hand that let go of me. 

MC: Since it's you, I'm sure that you can do it. 

Altair: MC... 

At that moment, the night breeze blew in from the open window. 

MC: Ah... Look, he does too. 

Altair: !

At the edge of the window, Altair-san's eagle was perched there. 

Altair: ... 

The eagle spread out it's wings gallantly as if he was encouraging him. 

MC: Everyone's supporting you. Including me too. 

When I smiled at him... 

MC: !!

As I was holding his hand, he hugged me with his other arm. 

MC: U-Um... 

Altair: Thank you. 

In the silent night, I could hear my heartbeat becoming faster. 

(Altair-san...) 

-Flashback-

Altair: Even if we don't see each other once a year, our bond is strong. We both vowed to each other to make our kingdom one again someday.

-Flashback-

(I want to make his wish come true.) 

When I thought of that strongly, I softly placed my hands around his back. From the window, I could hear the eagle flapping his wings into the night sky... 

Last Chapter - A Future Made by the Two of Them

The next morning after hearing about Altair-san's decision... 

We went to where the queen was. 

Altair: Mother, I want to talk to you. 

Altair's Mother: Oh, Altair, what is it? 

The queen looked at Altair-san with an elegant smile, but... 

Altair: It's about the assassination plan on Vega.

Altair's Mother: ...!!

After he said that clearly, she widened her eyes in surprise. 

Altair's Mother: Why would you... 

While looking straight at the queen, Altair-san continued speaking.

Altair: Don't do it. The kingdom will only fall into destruction from that sort of scheme. 

Altair's Mother: But, if you don't inherit the throne, this kingdom's agriculture civilization will decline! If Prince Vega of the industrialized kingdom takes the throne, our abundant greenery will become polluted...!

Altair: ...

Altair's Mother: Altair, are you all right with that...? The people might suffer. 

Altair: ...

After a while, it was overflowing with silence. Then... 

Altair: Mother, I know that you think deeply about the kingdom and me.

Altair's Mother: Then... 

Altair: But... 

Suddenly, Altair-san grabbed my hand and held it tightly. 

(Altair-san...) 

To encourage him, I held Altair-san's hand back. 

Altair: I want to bulid this kingdom together with Vega. 

Altair's Mother: ...!

Altair: We're close friends. I'm sure that we can do it... Me and Vega, we'll surely make it into a reality. So, please believe in us. 

Altair's Mother: Altair... 

As Altair-san was a little uneasy, he looked at the queen's face. When the queen lightly sighed, she broke into a smile. 

Altair's Mother: ...Have you talked to Prince Vega about it? 

Altair: No. I'm not lying. But, I strangely know Vega. Even if we don't see each other once a year, both Vega and I will continue to wish for the same thing. 

Altair-san smiled. 

MC: Your Majesty... I'm asking of this as well. 

Altair's Mother: Traumerei Princess... 

MC: Even though not much time has passed since we've met, I felt Altair-san's mysterious strength. All of the townspeople too, they trust him deeply. I'm sure that Altair-san can do it... 

Altair: ...MC. 

From my words, the queen thought about it for a while, but... 

Altair's Mother: ...I understand. I can see that you have a lot of supporters. 

Altair: Mother... 

Altair's Mother: I thought that you were still a child, but... To think that you became an adult so suddenly. Show me. I believe in you. 

Altair: Mother... Yes, I will!

After hearing out Altair-san's decision, the queen lowers her brow as she smiled... 

......

After that, I invited Altair-san to go into town. 

Altair: Thank you, MC. 

He looked at me with a bright refreshing smile. 

Altair: With you by my side, I got to tell Mother how I truly felt. Thank you. you have my deepest gratitude. 

MC: That's... I didn't do anything. But, that's good. The queen understood. 

Altair: Yes, what a relief. 

Altair-san smiled in relief wholeheartedly. 

Townsperson 1: ...Ah! Altair-sama!

Townsperson 2: Altair-sama is here!

When the people saw Altair-san, they surrounded him like last time. 

MC: Altair-san, all the townspeople are... 

Just as I was about to pull his hand and head towards the townspeople... 

Altair: ...Over here!

MC: Eh...

Altair-san suddenly pulled our connected hands and hid near the water mill. 

MC: ...A-Altair-san...!? 

Altair: Shh, quiet. Or we'll be spotted. 

Within the close distance between Altair-san and me, my face turned red. 

Townsperson 1: Huh? I thought Altair-sama was here... Was I seeing things? 

(Just what...?) 

Unable to understand the situation, I only blinked. While watching me, Altair-san smiled and hugged me strongly. 

Altair: Right now, I want to spend some time with just the two of us...

MC: ...! 

When Altair-san's voice tickled my ear, I moved my body around. 

Altair: ...Actually, I was feeling nervous at that time.

MC: That time...? 

Altair: That was the first time I've talked to Mother like that. 

MC: Altair-san... 

Altair: But. Since you were there, I went for it. Thank you. 

After saying that, Altair-san took hold of my heart and wouldn't let go as he showed a first-rate smile. 

(If he smiles like that...) 

As my heart started to go fast, I did my best to smile back at him. 

Altair: Won't you stay by my side from now on? 

There was a strong determination dwelling within his jade-colored eyes... 

MC: Yes, of course... 

As he held me in his robust arms, I thought about the future that he was going to create with his own hands...
