Keith - Prince of Ocs - Moon End

Chapter 6 - The Gentle Rain

When I slowly opened my eyes, I heard the gentle sound of rain drizzling against the window. 

Keith: You're up. 

I turned towards that voice and Keith-san was sitting nearby. 

MC: Keith-san!

(I... I collapsed.)

After I was sleeping, I frantically got up from the bed. 

Keith: Rest. I'm going to get you some water now. 

MC: I'm sorry, I...!

Keith: You have a fever, just sleep for the day. 

MC: I'm sorry...!

Keith: I told you. Don't be so quick to apologize. 

Keith-san lightly poked my forehead. 

Keith: ...Just stay down for a bit. Do you want something to eat? I'm going to bring you some medicine. 

His kind voice made my heart throb. When I responded to him with a nod, he gently smiled... 

Chapter 7 - A Cold Voice and a Warm Hand

After waiting for the maid that brought food, Keith-san brought it over. 

Keith: Open your mouth. 

MC: Eh? 

Keith: I'm telling you to eat. 

MC: ...

As my cheeks were blushing from surprise, Keith-san scooped up some of the soup. 

MC: ...Thank you very much. 

As my heart was beating excitedly, he put the spoon in my mouth. Due to my nervousness, I was unable to taste the soup that had the faint scent of ginger. 

Keith: Can you eat a little more? 

Keith-san's voice made my heart throb greatly and I nodded as a response. Then, I ended up eating half of the soup as he fed it to me. 

Keith: You should be all right after drinking the medicine. 

Keith-san brought a glass of water to my lips and urged me to drink it. 

MC: Thank you. 

After I drank the faintly sweet medicine, I hung my head down. 

Keith: Honestly... Why were you pushing yourself? I told you that there was no need to worry about the music box. 

MC: But... 

Keith: Can't you take more control of yourself? You're really something for not realizing that you have collapsed. 

As I was resting in the bed, Keith-san said that softly as he put the quilt on me. 

MC: ...

Keith: Good job for realizing it. There's nothing that you can do by yourself. 

(Even though I was trying to make it up to him, I ended up being a bother again.) 

MC: ...I'm sorry. 

(I really am hopeless.) 

When I apologized again, I hid my face in the quilt. 

Keith: ...It's fine. It's about time for the medicine to take effect. Just rest for the day. 

After he said that, he petted my head over the quilt and left the room... 

......

A few days later... 

Keith: Didn't you hear me say that it's fine? 

MC: I want to apologize properly. 

Once I got better, I've been hearing Keith-san telling me that repeatedly when I went back to helping him. 

Keith: Honestly... 

Keith-san looked straight at me with his black eyes. 

Keith: You can be my slave just as you like. In return, I want to take control over you. ...Got it? 

When he said that coldly, he placed his hand on my cheek. The warmth of his hand made my heart skip a beat. Even so, at that moment, I couldn't understand the meaning behind his words... 

Last Chapter - Punishment for Getting Hurt

The next day... 

I went with Keith-san to town to pick out a present for the neighboring kingdom. 

(Keith-san... He's walking fast. But, I have to keep up.) 

After getting this far by carriage, I frantically followed Keith-san from behind. 

(Still, there are so many things...) 

I saw some beautiful cloth, ornaments and pottery.

MC: Ah...

I bumped into a man and ended up tripping. 

Keith: MC? 

Keith-san turned around and held out his hand to me as I was on the ground. 

MC: I-I'm okay... 

As I grimaced from the faint pain in my knee, Keith-san gave me a cold look. 

Keith: ...

MC: ...? 

Keith-san helped me up at that moment and started walking silently. 

(Is Keith-san mad?) 

Townsperson: Miss, this herb is effective on grazes! It's on the house. 

MC: Thank you very much. 

As I was feeling uneasy, I smiled and thanked the kind shopkeeper that helped me. 

Keith: ...

When I accepted it, Keith-san fiercely pulled me towards him. 

Keith: Shopkeeper, you have my thanks. MC, let's go. 

After Keith-san took the herb from the shopkeeper's hand, he pulled my hand and started walking. 

MC: Keith-san? 

(Keith-san is really mad. Even though we came all this way...) 

As Keith-san was pulling my hand without a word, I couldn't bring myself to speak up to him. 

(I wonder if I did something again.) 

When we got on the horse carriage without speaking, Keith-san gave the herb to the coachman and told him to return to the castle. 

Keith: ...

While I was enduring Keith-san's silent gaze on me, I looked outside the window. 

Keith: What are you looking at? 

MC: Eh...

Keith-san's silent gaze pierced through me. 

Keith: You can look at other things besides me unless I tell you to. 

MC: Keith-san...? 

Keith: Like I said, you're my slave. 

MC: I-I'm sorry. 

I closed my eyes tight in fear. 

Then, he grabbed my wrist and suddenly pulled me towards his seat. 

MC: ...!

When I opened my eyes in surprise, I became clearly reflected in Keith-san's black eyes. 

MC: Keith-san...? 

Keith: Getting injured at your own convenience... 

His deep voice made my heart throb loudly. 

Keith: Explain yourself to me. 

MC: ...

As Keith-san said that, his fingers softly creeped up on my knee injury. 

MC: Ow... 

Keith: Did you forget that I'm taking control over you? In other words, you're mine. So, don't go injuring yourself. 

MC: ...

I shut my mouth as I felt the pain from him touching my knee injury. 

Keith: ...Looks like you don't understand. 

MC: Ah... 

He opened my mouth with his long fingers and put them in. 

Keith: Here, look... You injured your lip. 

As I was caught by Keith-san's eyes, I became unable to move. At that moment, his face got closer... 

MC: ...

I felt him softly licking the injury on my lip. 

Keith: You're mine. 

I heard Keith-san's whisper in my ear. 

Keith: You better remember that. 

He looked at me with his cold eyes. 

MC: Okay... 

Then, as he was putting a stop to my lip injury, he placed his lips over it. 

MC: Mm... 

As the sound of the horse carriage moving was getting distant... I felt a sweet pain and entrusted myself to Keith-san's arms...
