Chapter 5 - Castor's Feelings

-Flashback-

Castor: ...You're such a kind person. Thank you for worrying about Pollux. 

---

Pollux: Stop being a bother to Castor.

-Flashback-

Even though I wanted to help them both, I couldn't think of a way as time passed by... 

MC: ...Castor-san. 

Castor: MC... Uu... 

MC: Castor-san!? 

Castor: Pol... lux... 

MC: Ah... 

Pollux: ...Didn't I tell you to stay away from Castor? 

Even though I wanted to talk to Castor-san, Pollux-san wouldn't allow it... 

(Is it because I did something unnecessary...? At this rate, I'll just end up troubling both of them no matter what I do.) 

When I've decided to leave the castle tomorrow, I went to sleep.

Then, the next day... Once I got dressed, I went to visit the prince's room. 

MC: ...!

Castor: There's no need to be on guard. Pollux is asleep right now. I must've made you worried a lot. 

MC: Not at all! It was my fault... Is your body okay? 

Castor: I'm okay. Sorry. 

Castor-san looked at my packed luggage. 

Castor: Even though you went through all the trouble into saving me, I was unable to treat you well... I'm sorry. If I had a strong spirit like Pollux, this wouldn't have happened.

MC: ...Castor-san.

After he became quiet for a while, Castor-san spoke with a serious look...

Last Chapter - This Strength is...

As the warm sunlight was shining into the room... 

Castor: Ever since I knew about Pollux's existence, I have always admired him.

Castor-san spoke with a serious expression. 

Castor: He has everything that I don't have after all. I wanted to become strong like him. But... As you can see, I'm a weak person. Every day like this, Pollux would appear frequently... It made me think that it would be best for me to disappear.

MC: Castor-san...!? 

Castor: I'm sure that those around me would realize it soon. That Pollux is more suitable to lead the kingdom instead of me. Since he has a strong determination and strength... This kingdom will become peaceful.

MC: Castor-san...

As I wasn't sure on what to say, all I could say was his name. Castor-san's beautiful hand lightly combed through my hair. 

Castor: All I've done is run away and pushed all my ideals and heavy responsibilities onto Pollux because I didn't have the strength to do so. Since it's impossible for me to get angry. 

Even though Castor-san said that with a sad smile, something felt off somehow. 

(Pollux-san gets angry...?) 

MC: Castor-san, you're wrong!

Castor: MC? 

MC: Pollux-san has been worried about you.

Castor-san slightly widened his eyes from my words. 

Castor: ...Pollux has?

MC: Yes. Pollux-san... He worries about you more than anyone else.

-Flashback-

Pollux: Stop being a bother to Castor.

-Flashback-

I told Castor-san about that time. 

MC: At that time, the strange feeling I was getting from Pollux-san... It was nothing else, but your kindness. 

Castor: ...

As Prince Castor's eyes were trembling, he placed his hand on his own chest. 

Castor: Pollux... I see... He was a part of me too. I never thought of that. 

After he silently looked down, he slowly turned towards the window. The warm morning sunlight was shining more than Prince Castor's bright eyes. 

Castor: Someday... I wonder if there'll be a day where we'll become one. 

MC: Yes, I'm sure there will. 

(They understand each other's feelings more than anyone.) 

Castor: No, I'm sure that it won't. Otherwise, I won't be able to apologize to him. 

When he murmured that softly, Prince Castor opened the window. As a gentle breeze entered the room, it blew against Castor-san from aside. At that moment...

MC: ...!

I gasped. 

(...What a gallant face.) 

When Prince Castor suddenly hugged me, aside from his smile that I was looking at... There were his strong eyes that excel over Prince Pollux's and could be mistaken for the biggest star in the sky. 

Castor: Thank you, MC. For making me realize what's important... 

MC: C-Castor... -san...

Castor: But, I want you to call me by Castor...

MC: ...Castor... 

As Castor-san held my shoulders firmly with his arms, I became overwhelmed. Living within such a kind person was Pollux-san, who holds a firm strength. 

Castor: Right now, I can feel Pollux's existence like never before. His soul certainly exists within my heart... 

His voice that was gentle as usual sounded unusually strong.

Castor: MC... I have a favor to ask of you. We... I will become someone who can meet you again with pride. So, until then... Won't you visit this kingdom again? 

MC: ...Yes. Of course. 

The resolution that's been brought forth within the prince's heart made me nod internally...
