Chapter 5 - A Sudden Farewell
Clown: How troubling... I-
MC: What's wrong?
When I asked Clown that as he was hesitantly speaking...
Clown: Now that my royal training has ended, I have to return to my kingdom.
MC: I... see...
Those words caused some friction in my heart.
(It'll be lonely...)
Clown: Thank you so much, MC. Thanks to you, my journey ended by seeing the best smile so far. I'm glad that you were the 100th person.
Clown gently touched my cheek. He looked at me affectionately...
MC: Clown...?
Clown: ...Goodbye.
With a sad smile, he disappeared from there like magic.
MC: Clown...!
(I wonder... if we'll meet again.)
Once I was left alone, my heart throbbed with loneliness...
Last Chapter - Charmed by His True Face
-Flashback-
Clown: I'm glad that you were the 100th person. ...Goodbye.
-Flashback-
After parting from Clown, his usual beautiful smile remained in my mind.
(I want to see Clown...)
Then, one afternoon...
Servant of Carnaval: Are you Princess MC of Traumerei? I was informed by Prince Clown of the Carnaval Kingdom to accompany you there, so please follow me.
MC: From Clown...!?
When I looked at the letter that the servant gave me, I happily smiled. The letter was a written invitation to the Carnaval Kingdom from Clown.
(I get to see Clown again...!)
As I was surprised, my heart began to beat loudly. When I felt that sound, I started to notice the feelings within me...
A few days later... With the servant accompanying me, I arrived at the Carnaval Kingdom, where Clown was waiting.
(Since time has gone by so fast, it has already become night, but...)
I quietly waited for Clown in the room that I was led to.
(Somehow, I'm feeling nervous since it's been a while...)
My heart was racing and the moment I gripped my chest as it was getting hard to breathe, I heard the door open.
Clown: MC, you've arrived!
MC: Clown...
When I saw his face, I couldn't look away from his gaze. Then...
(This is... Clown's true face...)
Once Clown was standing in front of me, he respectfully bowed and for the first time, there wasn't any jester makeup on his face. He was making a bright gentle expression. He looked befitting to be a prince of this kingdom.
Clown: After parting from you, I couldn't forget about your smile the entire time... I'm happy to see you again...
MC: Me too... Your true face is really nice.
Clown: Fufu, being told that by a beautiful princess makes me embarrassed.
As Clown gently smiled, he held his hand out to me.
Clown: Before, I was living as a prince for the people's smiles. If it's all right, i want to smile with you by your side. Since your smile is the greatest thing in the world...
MC: Clown...
Clown: Please, won't you take my hand?
His hand reached out straight towards me. His smile was gentle and kind.
(This whole time... I wanted to see Clown...)
MC: ...Of course.
When I held Clown's hand, he happily smiled.
Clown: Thank you! With your smile by my side, I feel like I can always smile.
MC: Ah...
The next moment, Clown hugged me. As his arms were embracing me tightly, I gently hugged him.
(What a nice scent... But, it's not the scent of his makeup like before.)
While my heart was beating loudly, I looked at his eyes.
Clown: I never knew... Aside from your smile, the color of your eyes is beautiful. They're breathtaking and really clear.
My cheeks blushed from his words.
MC: Y-You're exaggerating...
Clown: Fufu, your smile is nice too, but that embarrassed look is really cute. I can't help, but love you, that's the kind of deep feeling I'm getting.
MC: Clown...
Clown: Now then, let me take you to the best spot to see the moon's beauty.
MC: I'm looking forward to it...!
With Clown holding me, he took me to a pinnacle. In the night sky during evening, I'm sure that the stars will be twinkling like jewels. When I thought of that, I became excited with high expectations like the first time we've met...
