Chapter 7 - An Ambush
As the drifting scent of the flowers that have been stepped on was making it hard to breathe... After a few more steps, a few more men approached us from behind.
MC: Julius-san...!
When Julius-san pushed me aside, he took a blow from one of the men.
Julius: ...!
After the men got blown away by Julius-san's sword...
MC: ...Julius-san!
Blood was flowing down Julius-san's arm.
Julius: Stay away! ...I'm fine.
MC: But...!
At that moment...
Castle Servant: Julius-sama, are you all right!?
We saw some castle guards running over here.
Julius: You guys, why are you here...
Castle Guard: When you mentioned that you sensed something unusually odd, we investigated the area. Just a while ago, we went searching for these guys as soon as we found out their identities.
Julius: I see...
The castle guards took in the traitors.
MC: Julius-san, we need to give you treatment immediately...!
When Julius-san looked at me, he made a wry smile.
Julius: It's your fault... that I let my guard down. I'm sorry for putting you in danger...
After saying that, Julius-san lost consciousness...
Chapter 8 - Sleeping Peacefully
A few days later since then... Once the traitors were arrested, it became peaceful in the castle again. Since that day, I haven't been able to see Julius-san.
(I wonder if his injury is okay.)
When I remembered Julius-san's injury, I became filled with uneasiness. At that moment...
Butler: MC-sama! Have you seen Julius-sama?
MC: Eh...?
Butler: He still needs to rest, but he has snuck away from his bed...
MC: That's...
As I watched the butler panicking, a certain place came to mind.
(Could it be that...)
......
When I looked in the corner of the courtyard...
(I knew it...)
There was Julius-san swinging his sword.
MC: Julius-san, what about your injury...
Julius: MC...
Julius-san noticed me immediately in front of him, but he didn't notice me until I called out to him today.
MC: That's no good. The butler said that you still need to rest.
Julius: Don't worry. Something like this won't hurt me.
MC: But...
Julius: So noisy... It's so pathetic that I put you in danger.
MC: Eh...?
At that moment, Julius-san's body suddenly staggered.
(I knew it, his injury is...!)
I somehow supported Julius-san's body. I gasped from seeing how pale he was.
MC: Let's go back. Please don't push yourself. Please...
When I desperately argued back, Julius-san closed his eyes.
Julius: ...Geez, fine.
......
Once I took Julius-san to his room, night had already fallen by the time I finished tending to his injury.
MC: Please don't sneak out anymore.
(His face has gotten so pale...)
Julius: ...It's your fault.
MC: Eh...?
Julius-san sighed deeply.
Julius: Since the war, I've always been aware of my surroundings. I get so nervous that someone might attack me... that I can't sleep at night.
Julius-san suddenly smiled.
Julius: Yet, ever since I've met you, I've eased up from that nervousness.
(Julius-san...)
Julius: Being with you... is really reassuring.
When Julius-san said that, he touched my cheek.
(...Such a big hand.)
I gently placed my own hand over his that was filled with warmth. Julius-san silently closed his eyes.
Julius: I...
MC: ...?
When his words suddenly stopped, I looked at his face.
MC: ...It's because you overexerted yourself.
While he was breathing in his sleep softly, Julius-san fell asleep.
(Such a peaceful looking face... Since me being with Julius-san gives him some reassurance. I want to be by his side forever...)
When I thought of that, I held his hand tightly...
Chapter 9 - Warm Lips
When a faint light came in, it softly pushed my eyelids open...
(Huh, I...)
The sunlight that was shining in from the window was bright and clear.
(I fell asleep at that time...!)
On the bed, Julius-san was still sleeping silently.
(Somehow, he's... cute...)
When I caressed his bangs, I looked at that innocent looking sleeping face.
Julius: ...Mm.
Just as Julius-san woke up, he was surprised to see me.
Julius: You... You've been here the whole time?
MC: I fell asleep as well...
Julius: I see. Sorry.
When I opened the window, a butterfly was fluttering and the flowers were happily swaying.
MC: What a pretty view... I'm glad that I came to this kingdom.
As I watched the butterflies that were happily flying, I broke into a smile.
Julius: MC...
When Julius-san slowly got up from the bed, he approached me.
(Eh...)
After he looked at me in the eye, his hand gently touched the back of my neck.
MC: Julius... -san?
When I felt Julius-san's warmth on the back of my neck, my heart skipped a beat. At that moment, we looked at each other as his face became closer...
Julius: ...Sorry.
Just as we were at a distance where our lips could touch at any moment, Julius-san suddenly turned his face away.
Julius: ...It's about time for everyone to wake up.
MC: I... guess so.
After Julius-san stretched out greatly, he left the room.
(Just now...)
My lips were warm. As my heartbeat was going fast, it became painful for me to breathe. For a while, I stood still at that spot...
Last Chapter - Fragrances Blending Together
That afternoon...
(Remembering what happened in the morning...)
When Julius-san called me over to the courtyard, I held down my heart that was pounding loudly.
(I'm so embarrassed that I can't look at Julius-san's face...)
Julius: ...Give me your hand.
When he suddenly said that, I blinked.
MC: ...My hand?
Julius-san placed a small glass bottle that was in the shape of a flower in my hand.
MC: This is...?
When he opened the lid, Julius-san dropped some of the liquid that was inside it on the back of his own hand. Then, he softly applied those drops onto my nape.
MC: ...
What was happening so suddenly made me jump, but then... There was a nice scent drifting from my nape.
(...This scent is.)
It was like the fragrance that we've made together. Although, it seemed like something was added into it somehow... It felt like a subtle scent.
Julius: ...I tried making something based off that fragrance. It's a fragrance of your image.
MC: ...Julius-san.
Feeling both happy and embarrassed, I couldn't bring myself to look at his face.
Julius: ...Also. I wanted to thank you somehow.
Julius-san smiled as he was slightly embarrassed...
He presented a bouquet of red roses in front of me.
Julius: I was able to sleep in peace when you were with me. Even though I don't know what you think. I have come to love you...
MC: Julius-san...
Julius-san looked straight at me with his cheeks lightly red. Seeing him like that made my heartbeat suddenly fast.
(Julius-san, towards me...)
While taking his straightforward gaze, I went through my thoughts and only came to one answer.
(Me too...)
I accepted the rose bouquet from Julius-san.
MC: Me too... I love you, Julius-san.
It felt like my feelings were falling out from my lips. The words that came from my own mouth warmed up my heart.
Julius: ...MC.
Julius-san pulled me towards him and hugged me strongly. The rose petals lightly fluttered down from my chest.
Julius: ...I'm glad.
When he whispered that in my ear, I let out a sigh. Then, Julius-san placed both of his hands on my cheeks...
MC: Mm...
He gave me a sweet gentle kiss.
Julius: MC...
When he pulled me towards him by the back of my neck, he gently placed some of my hair that was touching my cheek over my ear.
(I feel like I'm about to melt...)
Julius-san desired my lips many times repeatedly.
MC: Julius-san...
Julius-san hugged me strongly again by the waist.
Julius: I'm glad that I met you. I never thought that I would feel at ease like this again.
After Julius-san said that, he lightly picked me up.
MC: J-Julius-san...?
Julius: ...I'm feeling a little sleepy.
Julius-san made a mischievous smile.
Julius: As long as I'm with you... I feel that I'm going to have a good dream.
When he made an innocent face that he's never shown before... I couldn't do anything, but entrust myself to him...
By the time the sun has gone down...
While feeling the honey-colored sunlight that was shining in from the window, I closed my eyes.
Julius: MC...
When he repeatedly poured kisses onto me while saying my name gently, my entire body became sweetly numb.
(If he does something like that...)
Julius-san's fingers traced my nape.
MC: ...
As my body trembled from the sweet numbness, I can tell that he was smiling without him speaking.
Julius: I love you...
Then, we went down onto the bed...
......
On Julius-san's bed, morning greeted me.
(I want to stay like this forever...)
While I was using his arm like a pillow, I looked at his sleeping face. Seeing that peaceful looking face made me feel an overflowing happiness.
(I wonder if Julius-san is happy too...)
Julius: MC...
As he was still in the middle of dreaming, he said my name and hugged me gently.
(That would be nice...)
When I thought of that, I placed a kiss on his cheek as he still continued sleeping...
