Frost - Prince of Snowphilia - Main Story

Frost - Prince of Snowphilia - Main Story

Chapter 1 - The Noble Man

Snow Kingdom, Snowphilia, November... 

(Pretty...)

The pillars and floors that formed the castle were all sparkling silver. When I awakened Prince Frost, I received an invitation from him to come visit the Snowphilia castle. 

(I've received an invitation, but... I'm feeling nervous.) 

After the maid led me to the assembly room, it was filled with a grand atmosphere. 

(Over there was Frost-san's younger brothers...? If I remember correctly, they're the second prince, Prince Graysia and the youngest, Prince Schnee...) 

When the king started to gather everyone around, the authorities of the castle and the princes looked this way. Then, among the people that has gathered around was... 

Frost: Welcome to Snowphilia, Traumerei Princess... 

MC: ...!

The moment he looked at me, my body froze like ice. His beautiful silver hair that was swaying and his eyes that were scarlet like blood... Along with a cloak that had a snowflake design on his noble self, he looked rather dazzling. 

MC: I received an invitation for this occasion, um...

When my composure went away because of Frost-san's majestic movements, I quickly bowed to him after he welcomed me. 

(Even though we've met before... He makes me nervous in the end.) 

Frost: ... 

His red eyes shined as he looked at me as if he was checking me out. Within a few seconds, the prince probably lost interest when he looked away from me. 

Frost: You're free to do whatever you want in the castle. You'll be guided to your room. I don't care if you refuse. 

MC: ...Okay. 

When I sighed in relief after being freed from the heavy pressure, I left the assembly room as if I was running away... 

...

After the assembly... As Frost was surrounded by aides, he thought about MC.

Frost: Waking me up, what kind of woman is she...

His long white eyelashes slowly went down. 

Frost: I shouldn't have gone through the trouble into freeing my time. Still, to think that I got attacked by dream eaters... How uncouth... 

As Frost said that over his shoulder as if he was groaning, he made an annoyed look. 

Aide: Frost-sama, what do you think about the princess? 

From those words, Frost placed his robust right hand on his chin and thought about it. 

Frost: I don't think that girl has some kind of special power, but... Keep an eye out and if something happens, give me a detailed report about it. 

Aide: Yes! Understood. 

As his footsteps echoed among the shiny bright ice marble, the prince and his aides disappeared within the castle... 

Chapter 2 - Crimson Eyes

In the castle, it was completely cold...

After I was introduced in the assembly room, a butler led me to a guest room. 

Butler: Here you are, please use this room, do you have any questions? 

MC: Yes. Um, I still haven't heard how long I'm expected to stay here, so... 

Butler: My apologies. I was only ordered to take you to your room.

MC: ...Then, who should I ask? 

Butler: Later, maybe you should try looking for the person in charge.

MC: Okay... 

(Why isn't he looking at me...?) 

Due to that cold attitude, I stopped talking when I tried to continue the conversation. 

Butler: Now then, enjoy your stay. 

MC: Yes, thank you. 

After the butler bowed, he quietly left the room. 

(...I'm so nervous.) 

Once I was finally alone, I laid down on the bed to take the weight off my shoulders. 

(This is the first time my shoulders have felt so stiff...) 

When I sighed, I remembered what happened earlier.

After I left the assembly room, I encountered Prince Frost again in the hallway. 

MC: Um, Prince Frost...

Frost: ...

When the prince saw me, he gave me a bit of an irritated look. 

///Choices///

- Smile (☼)

While taking that gaze, I smiled at him. 

Frost: ...? 

The next moment, the prince showed a puzzled look, but went back to making that proper expression again soon after.

- Stare at him (☽)

Unable to take that gaze, I looked at Prince Frost's scarlet eyes. 

Frost: ...You look like you have something to say. 

I noticed a sharp look in Prince Frost's eyes. 

///Choices///

Frost: Traumerei Princess, do you still have some business with me? 

When my body stiffened from that deep tone, I asked him a question. 

MC: I'm curious why you invited me to the kingdom...

Frost: It was to show my gratitude to the Traumerei Princess that has woken me up. ...Is there something troubling you? 

MC: N-No, that's not it. 

Frost: ...Then, if you'll excuse me. 

MC: ...Okay. 

Despite that he was in a bad mood while being straightforward, I was doing my best to be polite to the prince, so I bowed and left from there... 

(Frost-san... How is he so majestic like that?) 

The prince's overwhelming appearance was like thick ice that couldn't be melted... 

(Compared to that, I'm...) 

When I became worried about my own incompetence, I sighed.

///Choices///

- (I need to pull myself together) (☼)

(He invited me, so I need to pull myself together.) 

- (I don't have the confidence) (☽)

(I don't have the confidence to try harder... But...) 

///Choices///

When I thought of that, I felt myself becoming depressed so easily... 

Chapter 3 - Words Whispered in the Ear

The next day... As the sunlight was shining down, the silver castle shined beautifully. As a way to welcome the guest, Prince Frost was going to give me a tour of the kingdom. 

(I'm so nervous...) 

Due to the rumors that I heard about Snowphilia in other kingdoms, it sounds like it has a lot of famous museums and art galleries. 

Frots: Princess, your hand. 

MC: Y-Yes. 

When a servant got a horse carriage arranged, Frost-san held out his robust pale hand to me. His usual refined behavior from that time in the assembly room just filled my fingers with strength. 

Frost: ...Hurry. 

When I was the only one that heard Frost-san say that...

///Choices///

- Apologize (☼)

MC: I'm sorry... 

Frost: ...Don't be so quick to apologize, aren't you the princess of a kingdom?

MC: ...

- Quickly present your hand (☽)

Without saying anything, I quickly presented my right hand. 

Frost: Oh. At least you have some manners. 

When Frost-san made a daring smile, he escorted me to the carriage with flowing movements. 

///Choices///

Once the carriage was heading to our destination, it slowly began to run on top of the snowy path. 

Young Woman 1: Frost-sama... I wonder where he's going. 

Young Woman 2: Ah, he's so beautiful as usual!

As the carriage was passing through the main street in town, people were closing in when they saw Frost-san. 

(A-Amazing...) 

Frost: ...

Going along with the people's expectations, Frost-san would sometimes wave his hand elegantly towards outside of the carriage. Although, when I took a closer look outside, there wasn't just young women, both men and women of all ages have gathered around. 

Townsman 1: Wasn't he involved in some kind of diplomacy activity earlier? As expected, that young man is the only one that can lead this kingdom. 

Townsman 2: Yeah, leave it up to Frost-sama to bring peace to this kingdom!

(To think that Frost-san has the support of all these people... He really is an amazing person.) 

While being surrounded by people, the carriage arrived at our destination, the museum. The moment I descended from the carriage... 

Townswoman 1: My... That princess looks more average than I thought. 

Townswoman 2: She doesn't seem right for Frost-sama... 

From the roadside, I could hear hushed whispers. 

(I need to pull myself together now...) 

With feelings that were heavy like lead, I cheered myself up by holding my head high and held Frost-san's hand. 

Frost: ... 

At that moment, Frost-san heard the townspeople's voices and looked over to the roadside. I... 

///Choices///

- Smile (☽)

I didn't want to fuss about it, so I smiled at Frost-san. 

Frost: ... 

- Tell him not to worry about it (☼)

MC: Please don't worry about it, let's go. 

Frost: ...I see. 

///Choices///

At that moment... 

MC: ...!

The strength in Frost-san's hand was strong, but it felt like I was being carried away as he pulled my hand. 

(Frost-san...?) 

My breathing stopped when I realized that his handsome face has approached mine so closely. 

Frost: ...You look nice. 

When he whispered that in my ear, my heart throbbed loudly. 

MC: Eh...? 

For just a slight moment... I noticed that Frost-san was smiling softly with a stiff expression that I've never seen him make before... 

(Just now...) 

Frost: ... 

Frost-san's eyes immediately went back to looking cold as usual, but... I thought he looked beautiful as the sunlight was shining on him... 

Chapter 4 - Monologuing

The museum that Frost-san was giving me a tour of was more elegant that what the rumors have said about it. On the white marble, there were all kinds of carvings on display, which gave out a dignified atmosphere. 

MC: Amazing... What's that displayed on the pillar? 

Frost: It's a griffin. It's a fictional creature, but it's the first sculpture in my kingdom. 

MC: It looks like it could fly off from that pillar at any moment now... Also, that sculpture over there too... I've seen something like that before. 

Frost: That's very interesting. 

The prince looked at the same sculpture that I was looking at with a surprised expression. 

Frost: Do you really have this sort of appreciation towards the arts while touring museums like this? 

Towards Frost-san's expression, I...

///Choices///

- Quite often (☼)

MC: Yes, quite often. I don't know a lot, but I like looking at new things. 

After I responded with that, Frost-san nodded as he was impressed. 

Frost: You're quite diligent despite how you look. 

- I don't that much... (☽)

MC: I don't that much... But, I do like going to places that I don't know of. 

Frost: I know that feeling too. 

MC: You too? 

Frost: That's because it gives me new opinions on unknown subjects. 

///Choices///

Happy from Frost-san agreeing with me, I broke into a smile. Then... 

Frost: ... 

Despite that there was a bit of a warm atmosphere drifting, Frost-san made a serious look again. 

MC: ...Frost-san? 

Just as I called out to him, he lightly sighed. 

Frost: Why didn't you say anything? 

MC: Eh...? 

Frost: What happened earlier? 

-Flashback-

Townswoman 1: My... That princess looks more average than I thought. 

Townswoman 2: She doesn't seem right for Frost-sama... 

-Flashback-

MC: ...

When I remembered that, the slightly warm feeling in me became heavy again. 

Frost: Since you're usually a princess, it wouldn't be strange to strike back angrily. 

MC: S-Striking back is a little... 

As I shook my head all flustered, Frost-san made a confused look. 

MC: Um... Although, I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel anything from that. If I cause any more disappointment, your good name might get sullied. Since you were the one that invited me. 

When I showed him a small smile...

Frost: ...

Frost-san's ruby-like eyes slightly widened. 

Frost: Somehow, I... No, my estimation of you has changed. 

MC: ...? 

Frost: ...I'm just talking to myself, don't worry about it. 

As Frost-san casted his eyes down, he spoke to himself many times in an agreeing manner... 

......

After that, Frost-san took me to many other interesting places. While I was surprised and curious, he was unaffected from me showing my amazement and excitement. 

MC: ...Then, does this picture show the founding of Snowphilia? 

Frost: That's right, the portrayal's accuracy of light and darkness is nice. 

Frost-san gave me a firm response towards my question.

(At first, I was really nervous, but... I feel fine now. Seeing Frost-san's sincerity this way can take quite an effect on someone...) 

Throughout the day, we went around Snowphilia and enjoyed talking about all sorts of things with each other... 

Chapter 5 - Sharp Gaze

Ever since I was invited to Snowphilia by Frost-san, a week has already passed. When I went to the castle courtyard to get some fresh air, I saw Frost-san with a servant. 

MC: Hello, Frost-san. 

Frost: Princess. 

Today, Frost-san and I promised to see an opera in the kingdom together. 

MC: When will you be back? 

Frost-san made an unusually impatient look from my words. 

Frost: That's right, we made a promise... It's a shame, but I have to attend a dinner meeting in the afternoon. I'll come over once I'm done with work, so wait at the castle. 

MC: Okay, I'm looking forward to it. 

When I responded with a smile, the prince smiled. At that moment... The servant that was accompanying him was looking at me with a frown.

Frost's Aide: Frost-sama... Talking to the Traumerei Princess is nice and all, but you need to hurry or it'll hinder your schedule. 

Frost: ...I know. 

As Frost-san expressed his irritation by waving his cloak, he left the courtyard. 

(Why is it...? I couldn't hear it well, but it seemed like he wanted to say something.) 

When the aide looked at me, his sharp gaze pierced my heart. I...

///Choices///

- Call out to Frost (☼)

MC: Um... Frost-san. 

Frost: ...What?

After I called out to Frost-san, he turned towards me. 

(Uh... What should I say to him?) 

MC: Um, be careful out there... 

Frost: Yeah, you too. I don't think anything will happen in the castle though. 

As he smiled confidently, he walked away gallantly... 

- Pass if off (☽)

(Could it be just my imagination...?) 

Just as Frost-san left the courtyard with the aide, I shyly waved my hand at him... 

Frost: ...

When Frost-san noticed me, he lightly raised his hand as a response... 

///Choices///

As the sky suddenly became cloudy, snow started to flutter down lightly. I received a message from Frost-san's servant.

MC: I'm going to be late, so go on ahead in the carriage... Okay. 

Once I got on the horse carriage that was arranged, I headed to town in the middle of the heavy snowfall. 

(I can't wait...) 

Suddenly, I was looking forward to spending time with Frost-san.

(I wonder if his dinner meeting has ended nicely. I feel kind of bad for getting in his way while he's so busy, but... I want to... be with him.) 

When I thought of that, I looked outside of the carriage and... 

MC: ...!

Just as the brakes were suddenly hit, the entire carriage shook greatly. Due to the impact, the front of my body received a strong blow. 

MC: ...!

As pain was rushing through my body, I was unable to speak and at that moment... 

MC: !? 

When the carriage door suddenly opened, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A man in black covered my face with a cloth that smelled sweet. 

(W-What!? Help...!) 

Before long, I lost consciousness... 

......

(I...? This place is...) 

When I slowly opened my eyes... I found myself imprisoned in an unfamiliar cabin.

MC: ...!

I tried to break through the door many times, but the solid door wouldn't budge. 

(Why is this... happening...?) 

I rubbed my cold hands together to calm myself down as I was confused, but due to the penetrating cold, my shoulders were trembling. 

(I don't understand...) 

When I frantically went through my thoughts, I recalled something...

-Flashback-

Townswoman 1: She doesn't seem right for Frost-sama... 

-Flashback-

It was those words that I heard from that time...

Chapter 6 - Prisoner

As night was getting darker, the intense cold increased... 

-Flashback-

Townswoman 1: She doesn't seem right for Frost-sama... 

-Flashback-

(Could my behavior have caused some kind of problem...?) 

In the frigid cold, I recalled what had happened ever since I came to this kingdom. The time when I first met Frost-san at the castle and the time when we went around the museum... 

(If only I had been a proper princess of a kingdom and acted appropriate towards Frost-san... I didn't know how to face him and ended up acting inappropriately...) 

As the cold was affecting me, it took away the warmth from my entire body. I... 

///Choices///

- (I hope he's okay) (☼)

(Frost-san... I hope he's okay. I don't think that person will do anything to him though...) 

When I thought about the possibility of a worst-case scenario, I became anxious. 

- (It'd be nice if I could talk to him more...) (☽)

(It'd be nice if I could talk to him more...) 

Being pampered by Frost-san's kindness, I didn't think that it was possible for him to waste some of his precious time.

(I wonder if I was being a bother... I should've thought about his position more.)

///Choices///

When I held my shoulders in discouragement, I cowered in place. 

As I tried to encourage my pathetic self, I thought about Frost-san's majestic self. Surprised by myself, he filled up my thoughts. 

Meanwhile at the castle... 

After Frost returned from the dinner meeting, he shouted at the servant irritated. 

Frost: Hey, where's the Traumerei Princess!? Why isn't she in the castle? Didn't I tell her to wait for me? 

Servant 1: Who knows, maybe she went out somewhere? 

Just as one of the servants said that, one of his subordinates that has searched the castle appeared. 

Servant 2: Frost-sama, I heard this from someone's room, but she was called to leave due to sudden plans. 

Frost: She... left? 

When Frost crossed his arms, he looked at the servant calmly. Those bloodlike red eyes emitted a piercing look of death. 

Servant: ...I'm not lying. 

Frost: How suspicious... I certainly did leave her here, but I don't see her as the kind of person that wouldn't greet me when I return. Trying to figure things out, his cool-headed eyes pierced through the servant. Then... 

Aide: Frost-sama, a word... 

Frost: Didn't I tell you to keep a lookout for the princess? 

When the aide approached Frost, he whispered to him. 

Aide: I have something to report about that... It's possible that a section of your workers has kidnapped the princess. 

Frost: What!? 

The wild shout Frost's, that usually doesn't react to anything, echoed throughout the castle... 

Sun End

Moon End

T/N: Those servants are screwed XD
