Hearts - Prince of Wondermare - Sun End

Chapter 6 - Alice is Going to Get Executed!?

-Flashback-

Trumpia Guard 2: By the queen's orders, you will come with us to the castle, Your Highness. 

Trumpia Guard 1: If this girl is the real "Alice", then it is by law that she will be executed!

MC: Executed!? 

Hearts: No way...!

-Flashback-

...

After being taken to the castle, the night has passed... 

Hearts was put under house arrest in his own room. 

Hearts: At this rate, my Alice will be... ...!

While biting his lip, Hearts pounded the desk with his fist. 

Hearts: No, that's wrong! Even though I knew that! She wasn't the real Alice...! Yet, my thoughtless actions have... 

At that moment, he heard the voices of the guards that were put on lookout by direct orders of the queen outside the room. 

Trumpia Guard's Voice: Hey, let's check outside for a bit. I heard that it's filled with people. You think that girl is actually going to get executed...? 

Hearts became frantic when he heard the guard's words. 

Hearts: ...Alice!

When Hearts broke the window lock without making a sound, he jumped outside... 

...

Chapter 7 - She's Not Alice!

There was a heavy atmosphere hanging around the throne. 

MC: ...

I was in kneeling in front of the queen. While feeling the cold metal part of the long spear that the guard was holding on the back of my neck, I shivered. 

(Scary...) 

As my body was trembling in fear, the queen looked down at me coldly. 

Queen of Hearts: So, what you're saying is that you're not "Alice"?

MC: That's... right. 

The queen frowned doubtfully at my response. 

Queen of Hearts: But, where's your proof? Also, wasn't Hearts calling you, Alice?

MC: That's... right. 

(It's true that I can't come up with any proof right now...) 

As I couldn't do anything, but hang my head down silently, the voices of the people that have gathered at the castle were heard from outside the window. 

Citizen 1: This is a serious matter for the kingdom! Execute Alice right now!

Citizen 2: That's right! If you don't, another disaster will occur!

Then, it was silent around the throne. 

Queen of Hearts: I can't make the people worry any further...

MC: No way...!

Queen of Hearts: Take her away. 

Just as the guard grabbed my arm roughly and was about to take me away...

??: Wait!!

MC: ...!? 

(That voice...)

Coming through the entrance of the hall was... 

Hearts: Please, Mother!! Everyone's got the wrong idea about her identity!

Hearts-kun was standing there while out of breath. 

MC: Hearts-kun! What are you doing here... 

When Hearts-kun walked towards the center of the hall with big steps, he bent his knees beside me. 

Hearts: I'm sorry, MC... It's all because of my hastiness. 

MC: Hearts-kun...

(Just now, did he just... call me by my name for the first time?) 

As he furrowed his brow firmly, he held my shoulder. When his hand that was supporting me strongly got rid of all my discouragement, I felt tears about to come out. 

Queen of Hearts: Hearts, you're going to increase the people's worries like this. Even if you say that she's not Alice, how will you convince the people? 

Hearts: ...

Looking at the queen apologetically, Hearts-kun got up as he was supporting me. Then, when we went over to the balcony, the people that pushed their way into the castle were in front of us... 

Hearts: Everyone, listen!

Just as Hearts-kun appeared in front of the people, the clamoring silenced down all at once at the same time. 

Hearts: I've been calling this girl, Alice, because I thought she was my destined woman. But, she's... She's not Alice!

As Hearts-kun clenched his fist tightly, he looked straight at everyone. 

Hearts: She's the Traumerei Princess, not someone who'll bring harm to this kingdom!

With a loud voice that was still maturing, he explained his own thoughts to the people. Then... 

Citizen 1: ...She's not Alice...? Is that true...? 

Citizen 2: No, don't be fooled. I've heard that Prince Hearts has been infatuated with Alice since long ago!

Citizen 3: But, just now, Prince Hearts... I don't think he's the kind of person that would lie. 

The people's commotion was spreading from Hearts-kun's words. 

Hearts: ... 

-Flashback-

Hearts: Like I said, that's you, right? The girl that appeared in Wondermare a long time ago, Alice. I have always admired you since I was a kid. 

---

Hearts: Right in front of me... is the Alice that I have admired...

-Flashback-

(Hearts-kun...) 

When I walked towards Hearts-kun, I gently held his hand that was clenching. 

Hearts: MC... 

MC: I'm sorry... for not being Alice. 

Then, Hearts-kun held my hand strongly. 

Hearts: Same here... I'm really sorry. 

Then, when we looked at the people again... 

Hearts: It's true that I have admired Alice! And I apologize for making everyone worried because of that!! But... I didn't intend on having a disaster hit this kingdom, I just wanted to be with her! So, I want you all to believe me... I vow it with my soul!!

Those weren't the wholehearted words of a prince, but of a single boy... 

People: ...

The people's gazes were focused on Hearts-kun. 

Meanwhile, the queen silently got up from her throne... 

Last Chapter - Even If You're Not Alice

When the queen got up majestically, it became heavily tense around the area. 

Hearts: Mother... 

Hearts-kun gripped my hand tightly. After the queen sent us a gaze, she appeared in front of the people from the balcony. 

Queen of Hearts: Silence, people! As you can see, this girl isn't the girl that brings misfortune, "Alice". Therefore, we'll be calling off the execution, including all future executions, that is all!

MC: Your Majesty...!

Hearts: ...

The atmosphere in the area instantly changed from the queen's dignified words. Each and every one of the people started sending praises to the queen. 

Hearts: Are we... really okay? Is it all right to think that MC's safety has been guaranteed now!? 

Queen of Hearts: ...Yes, since my words seem to have taken an effect on the people. Also... I shouldn't leave you emptyhanded without thanking you for waking up Hearts. I've gotten a little out of control as well. My apologies, MC-sama. 

MC: It's okay... 

After the queen straightened herself up, she left from there. 

Hearts: ...

While watching, Hearts-kun's face was filled with joy. 

Hearts: Thank goodness, MC! Really, thank goodness!!

MC: I...

Feeling my entire body being freed from the malicious atmosphere, my knees lost their strength... 

Hearts: MC, are you okay!? 

Hearts-kun caught me by the waist with his arm just narrowly and held me firmly. 

(My heart is racing... Was it because of fear? Or maybe...) 

When I looked up, Hearts-kun's red eyes were shaking worriedly. 

MC: Hearts-kun... Thank you. 

Hearts: Yeah, it's okay now, you have nothing to worry about... MC!

MC: Yes... Thank you. 

Holding back the tears that were about to fall, I smiled at Hearts-kun... He hugged me gently. 

MC: Ah...

Hearts: Thank goodness... You're really okay. I don't know what I would do if something were to happen to you. ...MC. 

MC: Hearts-kun? 

When he said my name again, I tilted my head to the side. 

(My heart is being noisy...) 

Although, his pure eyes that were looking at me were filled with a gentle happiness... 

MC: ...

The next moment, something soft touched my lips. 

Hearts: It's going to be okay now because... I'm never going to let go of your hand and put you in a scary situation ever again!

When his embrace became stronger, his lips that had just parted from mine were placed on me many times to prove his words. 

Hearts: I don't care if you're Alice... MC, become my treasured woman. 

After he called me by my name with a very heartrending voice... 

MC: ...Okay, Hearts-kun. 

When I slowly nodded, there was as heartrending look in Hearts-kun's eyes, but they narrowed happily. Then, he placed a kiss o nmy lips that was deeper than before next. 

(Hearts-kun's feelings are for me instead of Alice...) 

Feeling happy from that, my heart throbbed even more. 

Hearts: MC... 

Just as our lips slowly parted, Hearts-kun said my name as he smiled with his cheeks turning slightly red from embarrassment. We hugged each other tightly again. As a soft breeze blew and made countless flower petals flutter up... From outside of the balcony, we heard one, then two people applauding...
