Las - Prince of Votaria - Sun End

Chapter 6 - The King's Verdict

When we returned to the castle with the cabinet minister, awaiting us were countless of stares surrounding us and the king, shaking with anger...

King: Such a foolish thing... 

While sitting on the throne, the king's face was distorted in agony.

King: Las, I told you countless of times not to be so careless! Not only that, you even had your benefactor, the Traumerei Princess, get involved... 

Las: ...

The cabinet minister reported to the castle of the incident at the flower field from when he was observing us... When Las-san was taken to the presence of the king, he was scolded by him harshly. 

King: Something like this is inexcusable to Traumerei! Las! As the king that rules over the lust of Votaria... I order you to be sent to prison! Stay in there for a bit to cool off your head!

Las: ...I understand. 

(No way, Las-san is...!) 

Without explaining himself, Las-san silently accepted the verdict... Like what the king ordered, he was taken to the prison of lust... 

Chapter 7 - The Comforting Princess

A few days later since Las-san was sent to prison as a sinner... 

MC: Like what I've said many times, Las-san isn't a sinner...!

For the past few days, I've been seeing the king to appeal his innocence desperately. 

-Flashback-

Las: When I'm with you, I do my best to hold down the rampaging desire in my body. My fate... is not to make you like a withered flower. 

-Flashback-

(Las-san has decided not to use force. He was just scared of our hearts connecting...) 

MC: Your Majesty, please have mercy on him... 

King: Princess...

As I was begging before him, the king sighed deeply. 

King: ...Do you think I'm a coldhearted father for sending his own son to prison? But, if I let Las out on his own like that, someday... 

MC: Your Majesty...?

When I looked up, the king made a very sad expression. 

King: Did he tell you about his mother? 

MC: Eh...? Yes, a little...

King: When Las was younger... Retainers have yearned for the queen's beauty and went mad out of jealousy. During the time Las was born, there was a baseless rumor about him being a child of infidelity spreading around. When the rumor went around in such a short time, the queen quickly argued back in return... I did the same... I was unable to believe nor support the queen till the end. 

(That's...) 

King: ...The lust power is that strong. Including the loneliness of those, who hold that power... 

When the king looked up at the ceiling, he deeply sighed again. 

King: But... The time when Las was touched by you, I noticed that he's been making a kind expression somehow. Traumerei Princess. You might be the only one that can heal Las' heart.

When the king said that, he turned towards the cabinet minister that was in waiting beside him. 

King: ...Release Las. 

MC: Your Majesty...!

King: Princess, I have a favor to ask of you, not as the king, but as a single parent. I want you... to go see Las.

MC: Yes...!

After I nodded, I headed to the prison of lust with several servants. 

......

Then, after I stepped into the prison...

(So dark... Also, it's a little...) 

As I was exposed to the prisoners' underestimated curious gazes... I finally arrived at the jail that Las-san was being held in. 

MC: Las-san...!

Las: Eh? MC...!? 

When Las-san saw me, he widened his eyes... My hands grabbed the lattice and gripped them tightly. 

Las: Why would you come to such a dangerous place like this...

MC: The king has forgiven you. Let's return to the castle together. 

Las-san's eyes trembled sadly from my words. 

Las: I... I can't do that. 

MC: Eh? Why... 

Las: Father has doubts about me being born from Mother being unfaithful. Just like Mother, I'll continue to become deluded by this nauseating lust... Instead of searching for a formless love, all I can do is just embrace everything instantly. 

(That's...!) 

Las: But... It's just like what you said. No matter how much I sleep around, this maddening thirst won't get filled one bit. 

When Las-san placed his hand on his forehead, he sighed... 

(Las-san...) 

Las: Do you understand? Someone like me can't return to the castle. I caused Father's pain from playing around with the lust power. 

MC: You misunderstood everything... His Majesty actually cares about you. But, he couldn't think of a way to heal your loneliness. He just didn't want you to walk the same path as the queen...

Las: Father does...? That can't be. 

Just as Las-san murmured that, there was light showing in his eyes...

Las: ......No matter how much I strongly wish for it, I don't think my feelings will ever be returned. Father and Mother too, they were always distant from me when I was young...

As my hands were gripping tightly, I gently smiled at Las-san. Towards him being like that, I... 

MC: My heart is here. I'll always be by your side... 

Las: MC... 

When Las-san said my name in pain, his arm reached out towards my face from the lattice and pulled me towards him. Through the prison's lattice, we shared our first kiss... 

Last Chapter - Someone More Important Than Anyone Else

After Las-san left the prison, he was like a whole different person. Instead of going to places, where women are, he's been making an effort at work in the castle every day. 

Las: MC, it's already time to go to bed. I'll take you to your room. 

MC: Ah... Okay, thank you. 

Las: Well then, I'll go from here... See you tomorrow. 

MC: Yes... Goodnight. 

After sending me to my room for the night, he turned his back on me without laying a single finger on me. 

(Las-san...) 

Although, Las-san was already in my thoughts... When I remembered the day of that kiss, the urge of wanting to touch him have grown.

(Right now, our positions have been reversed...) 

With painful feelings holding me, I watched Las-san as he went through the door... 

One night, Las-san was taking me to my room as usual. 

Las: Well then, goodnight. 

(We didn't get to talk much tonight as well... That sort of thing is already...) 

MC: U-Um!

Before I knew it, I called out to Las-san to stop him just as he was about to leave. 

Las: ...Hmm? 

MC: Uh... I have some good tea, so can we talk for a bit? 

Then, Las-san showed a bewildered look the next moment... 

Las: Of course, I'd love to. 

MC: Ah... Okay, I'll go prepare it now!

When I said that, I invited Las-san in.

......

Although... 

MC: Uh... Are you doing okay with work lately? 

Las: Yeah. To keep up with my father, I have to remember a lot of things for work. 

MC: I see. That's good... 

While we were sitting next to each other on the sofa, we were at a close distance. When the conversation came to an end, an awkward atmosphere was drifting.

(It didn't feel like this before, but...) 

Even though my heart was beating fast, Las-san was always looking at me... 

(I guess, Las-san is...) 

MC: Have we gone cold already...?

Las: Eh? 

Towards my sudden words, Las-san became confused.

(I realized it too late...) 

MC: But, I, towards you... 

The feelings that were brought up for a moment wouldn't go away so easily. My chest tightened painfully and just as I was about to stop talking... 

Las: You know... I was wondering if I misunderstood something. MC... Just now, were you trying to seduce me? 

When I heard him say that, my cheeks instantly became hot. Before I knew it, Las-san immediately closed the distance between us. 

MC: Um, I...!

After he held my shoulder, Las-san's face got close to a breathing distance. 

Las: I've decided to take care of you... Until your feelings reach me, I'll wait for you. 

(Las-san...) 

My heart became painfully noisy from his serious expression. 

Las: If we have the same feelings, I don't need to hold back, right...? 

As Las-san looked at me, he touched my cheek lovingly. 

Las: Your feelings are enough to make my heart ache. Right now, my heart is going mad from wanting you...

(Just like me...) 

Feeling embarrassed, I gulped as I nodded. 

MC: I really wanted to touch you this whole time, Las-san... 

Interrupting my words, he softly placed his finger on my lips. 

Las: ...You don't need to speak anymore. I want to be gentle, but I don't' think I can...

MC: Las-sa-

With our breaths entangled with each other, he gave me a sweet deep kiss... Wanting each other in a daze, we threw ourselves against the bed as if we were falling. With our skin touching, I felt Las-san's warm body heat... I was melting completely from his sweet stimulation...
