Chapter 6 - To Prison...
When we returned to the castle with the cabinet minister, awaiting us were countless of stares surrounding us and the king, shaking in anger...
King: Las, I've told you many times... Are you trying to put this kingdom into another predicament again!
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.
Las: I was only behaving myself to my heart's content. Nothing shady was going on.
After Las-san said that, he looked straight at the king.
King: This fool......Up till now, I've turned a blind eye to you playing around to some extent. Since you laid a hand on a princess of a kingdom, I can't defend you.
MC: Can't defend him... What's going to happen to Las-san?
When I softly asked that to the cabinet minister that was close by, his lips trembled in regret as he spoke.
Minister: Since Las-sama has angered the senate, he'll be sent to prison without any discharges...
(Send Las-san to prison...!?)
When Las-san took a glance at me, there were no signs of him flinching at all.
(No way... At this rate, Las-san will be...!)
As Las-san was calmly standing there, my heart felt like it was about to split...
Chapter 7 - Connected Hearts
When I found out that Las-san was going to be sent to prison at this rate...
MC: You got it all wrong! There really was nothing shady going on. Besides, Las-san was...
As I was hanging on, I continued to explain to the king.
MC: At that time, he was proposing to me...!
Las: !
King: What!? It can't be, Las was...?
MC: I-It's true... I accepted it. Also, we kissed as a vow...
When I said that downright lie, I realized that my own face was burning hot.
(I wonder what's going to happen to Las-san from me saying this. Still, I can't let Las-san be sent to prison like this...!)
I became embarrassed as I continued explaining. Then, after a while...
King: To think that you two have that kind of relationship......I understand. Let's take our time to talk about this later.
Despite that the king was confused, he sounded relieved.
......
After having an audience with the king and was forgiven by him...
Las: Come here...
Las-san held my arm and pulled me into the shadow of a large pillar.
(Eh?)
Las: MC...
Feeling warmth rising, Las-san placed several kisses against my nape.
Las: Do you really want to be wedded to me?
MC: ! That's...!
The teasing words that he gave me made blood rush up to my head.
MC: I don't know what I was thinking at that time...!
I tried to push Las-san's chest with all my strength, but he hugged me tightly with his strong strength in return.
Las: That made me happy... I want to make you my wife as well.
When Las-san whispered that to me, he gave my ear a play-bite. As the tip of his warm tongue creeped on my nape, it felt like he wanted me strongly...
(But, something like this...)
As it felt like Las-san only wanted my body, my heart became messed up with sadness and anger.
MC: Then... Why won't you date properly? What got you so mad like that...?
Las: ...I was mad?
Las-san flinched and trembled from my question. Then, as he was feeling a little hesitant...
Las: ...It's something that doesn't have a form.
As he lightly smiled, he murmured those single words.
Las: The body is honest. If I touch your favorite spots, you make a nice proper response. But... A love with no form is something that I won't be able to bear.
(Las-san...)
Las: This hand that can't perceive happiness is like an empty haze. No matter how much I reach for it... It'll disappear either way. I'd rather get hurt than wish for something uncertain like that...
The moment I heard him say that in pain, I remembered what happened at the flower field.
(I see... This person. He was scared to end up like his mother...)
Because of her charm being so strong, it was impossible for his mother to reach out to anyone...
(Even so...)
As a way to get closer to Las-san's deep loneliness, I softly held his hand.
MC: In that case... I'll give my heart to you.
Las: Eh...? You love me...? You're giving me your heart...? ...That has to be a lie. Besides, there has never been a girl like that up till now. Also, if you do love me, then why do you refuse me-
MC: That's because I love you... I don't want just our bodies to connect.
When I looked straight at Las-san as he was trembling uneasily, I told him how I felt.
Las: ...
After Las-san widened his eyes, he hung his head down. Although, after a long silence...
Las: But... I don't know... how I should love you.
Las-san murmured that as his voice gradually vanished. I gently held his hand with both of mine.
MC: It doesn't always need a form. No matter how tactless it seems... As long as our hearts are connected, we can build it up slowly, that's all...
Las: MC...
Las-san softly touched my cheek.
Las: Someday... It might disappear. There might be a day, where I'll come to regret this decision. But, I... This heart and body too... I want to love you with everything I got...
When Las-san said that, it felt like I was being embraced by all of his feelings that were in those words...
Last Chapter - Devoted to Eternal Love
A few days later since I established a bond with Las-san...
Las: There's going to be a conference after this. Sorry that we haven't been able to see each other much.
When Las-san started opening up to the king a little, he's been working hard in his official duties.
MC: I'm okay. Good luck with your work.
Las: Eh? That's it...? ...Good grief. My princess doesn't let me know how lonely she is or lets me spoil her.
(Eh...?)
When he suddenly touched the tip of my chin, my heart suddenly became loud.
Las: Am I not enough for you at all?
As his sweet breath lightly touched my cheek, he softly kissed it.
Las: ...Since it's before work, this is the best that I can endure right now. Also, we might get noticed.
MC: Las-san...
The way he was trying to restrain himself was kind of cute...
(I... I'm becoming drawn to Las-san even more.)
With a sweet warm feeling in my heart, I saw him off...
......
One night... In the castle, the king was holding a ball.
Las: Isn't that dress showing a little too much cleavage?
MC: You think so? I think it looks normal.
Las: No. What'll you do if you make other guys desire you?
Las-san wrapped a shawl around my shoulders to cover me somehow.
(Despite that Las-san would've been happy to see me in this.)
His clumsy affection made me feel happy. Then...
Las: Ah... Sorry, I need to go greet the guests a little.
MC: Okay, I'll wait here then.
When Las-san headed towards a table that wasn't too far from here, he went to greet some gentlemen. As he was living up to his name as a prince of this kingdom with those mannerisms, I ended up looking at him and at that moment.
Nobleman: Good evening, Traumerei Princess.
MC: Eh? Ah... Good evening.
I had a friendly conversation with a well-dressed man that seemed to be a friend of Las-san's. Although, a little while later...
Las: Thank you for keeping her company. That's enough now.
Nobleman: What's with you, Las? Don't you have plently of other partners?
Las: Unfortunately, I'm done with all other women.
When Las-san said that clearly, he held my shoulder.
Las: Because I'm getting married to MC.
(Eh...!?)
After Las-san announced that loudly, the people around us widened their eyes.
Nobleman 1: Huh!? What was that!
Nobleman 2: Someone as lustful as you getting married... It's not possible for you to make that kind of decision yourself!
Nobleman 3: Give us all the details!
With large crowds drawing near all at once, I shrunk back. Then, the next moment, Las-san approached my ear...
Las: MC, let's make a break for it.
MC: Eh? Las-san...!
Nobleman 1: Hey! Wait!
Las-san pulled my hand and ran. Following after us were the sounds of multiple footsteps...
......
After running in the castle, we jumped into an empty dim room.
Las: Come, they won't find us here.
MC: Eh?
Along with Las-san, I hid in the closet. Then, the sound of footsteps that were following us gradually became distant...
Las: ...Phew. Looks like we've managed to escape somehow.
MC: Geez. It's because you said something like that so suddenly...
In the dim closet, I looked up at Las-san bitterly.
Las: It's fine to announce something like that early. After all, weren't you the one who said that we were getting married?
MC: That was a lie to save you...
(Las-san is unfair... Despite that we've decided to date each other properly. Bringing up that lie as he pleases...)
As I closed my lips tightly, Las-san made a troubled expression.
Las: Don't make that kind of face... Despite that it's been a while since it was just the two of us.
Las-san looked at my face softly as if he was trying to cheer me up.
Las: Did you want a proper proposal from me?
MC: I don't know...
As I was sulking, Las-san made a wry smile.
Las: Ah, geez... You're so cute. Okay, in that case... How about we go to that flower field again? I'll vow eternal love to you at that place.
When his affectionate voice tickled my eardrum, I looked up at him a little.
MC: Really...?
As a response, Las-san gave me peck-like kisses several times... He strongly pressed his lips against my collarbone that the dress was showing.
MC: ...
As the kiss became even more intense, our sweet breaths made each other's lips wet.
Las: I love you... MC.
(Las-san...)
When we exchanged feelings with each other just now, I didn't have a reason to resist his affectionate seduction... In the small closet, I lowered my voice as I became intoxicated from the stimulation that he was giving me...
